The teamed editor of the Albany Begisier, has undertaken to answer tbe question put to me tbe other day, by some ldy, wbat is the article ot dress called lama, so miicb worn by tbe princesses at tbe late royal wed Tin says it means a laity't Uoit eu, and comes from Lama, the name of an animal, and is so called because it is made of tbo Innm'i Aue, or tkin.

Anna Hat ley was riding across the Gum Swauip, (about 12 miles from tbis place) where tbe water was but little more than knee deep, tbe beatt on hich she rode was attacked by an Align tor. and in the struggle, Mrs. Katiey was thrown and the mo ment sne fell, tbe monster seized, bit and mneled nernvm horridly, of wbicb wounds slie ilitd on Monday evening last, tier nusbaml ami brother were near at bind and ran to her asMance. and in rescuing tbe woman, one of the men received a blow from the Aligator without sustaining much injury, and after shooting seven or eight times. tbey succeeded in killing him he meaura eleven feet in length.

From thi National Inltlligtnttr, June 23. There has been much fault found in some of the Tenneiee papers, with a treaty concluded in tbis city during tbe last winter, between' the 1'rited Slates and tbe Cberokees, whereby it i supposed, in fixing the boundary between the land of the Cberokees and tbat cedsd to tbe United States by I the Creeks in 1814, tbe United States bave re ceded to tbat Indian nation a considerable extent of land, to which the Indian title was supposed to bave been extiiiEilibed. There i no subject, pro bably, on wbich the Tennesseeansand their heigh bors are so sensitive as toe wild tbe Indian title to Lieu is proposed to be in the territory south of Tennessee. It is intimated. in one of these papers, tbat five honored families have aate down on the Indian land in'.

question. wbo cousider the treaty as snub an execrable one tbat it i not worthy of beini; and that any orders or attempts on tbe part ot either of tbe parlies to remove these settlers would be re sisted. Wht may be the merit of this treaty, we are not qualified to. iiioVe. be subject ws well unuersto', no doubt, hy those who luade the trea ty and, nntwulistandmg tbe great excitement on tbe subject in Tennessee, we bave no doubt the coiiipiict is ewieutially a just one, albeit some roea land thereby left in tbe poeion of the Cberokees as to the settlers referred to, It is their own fault, and not that of tbe I'liited Slates, if the treaty is injurious to their interests.

IlMVine informed our readers out of Tennessee of tbe existence of this controversy, if they desire to understand tbe particulars ot It they tuiist re sort to lheTennesr.ee papers in wbicb it occupies as much space as in those of Kentucky does tli compentionbill It is recommended in the Na.ihville Clarion of June 8, to tbe cititens of Tenneiaee to meet at their court houses and rtmonstrate against the treaty." There is an instauce in our history of remenstrances against the ratification of a treaty; hut remonstrating ajain't a trtnty is, we believe, a novelty. Not that we have any particular veneration for precedents, where principle is concern. ed but that we cannot seethe object of such re. monstrance, since it is not now in the power of the United Slates (morally, though it may be phy sically) to annul the treaty, or prevent its execu tion. Tbe tic toU" passed from the lips of the rrntitttTnal aoth and it innot be re vnked.

lr! the case of an obnoxious law, a subse i uen act may repeal it, and remonstrance i not only a rubt but a duty. It is otherwise with a treaty, and particularly a treaty of boundary posterior compact with the same power only can change it unless it can be shewn, whirh we believe is not alleged, than in ratifying said treaty, tbe President and two thirds of the Senate have exceeded their constitutional authority.

QUEHEC, June Sixty seven vessels from sea, have arrunl at this port since the opening of tbe navigntion. Of these the greatest number are Ironi Great Britain and Ireland and many of them have brought valu ahle cargoes.

Th experience of a few eeks has filled the minds of most meronutile men with unfa vorable foreboding and although, hen tbe seed time, wbicb bas been uncommonly late, will be fairly over, aod the farmer and country traders will bave lime to attend the market, and makt their purchases, tbe prospect mat brighten up little, yet we fear these forebodings are but too well rounded. ommerce is au exchange of commodities, and it is but too true that we bave hardly any commodities to exchange for the superabundance of goods Uich bave arrived, and may still be expected. Provisions, wbich were one ol the staples of Ibis country, have actually cn tent out to Us from Great Britain, and are pt rhap the only articles which have been sold at a profit! Manufacture we have none, but those that are iinporUd. Lumiier while the price of provisions and labour remains high, can Lardjy be afforded at a prie to admit of a profit in England. It cannot, under such circumstances, stand a competition with lumber from the Baltic There remain then only the Fur collected from the Indian countries, of wbich the amount, comparatively to our importation, is trifling.

Cash would cover all balances but it halb made it elf wings the government paper having been called in, tbe circulating medium does no perhaps, at present, ex ceed the amount necessary for internal use. The diminution of the miliary expenditure, the tupplf. wuen tue military government will receive from Great Britain, leave little hope from that quarter. mm hence then are to come ike returns The deficiency is already felt in tbe unprecedented fall in price of almost every article of imported merchandize. The importer must either sell at a lot, or keep bis goodt.
