FOREIGN EXTRACTS.
London, May 28.—By accounts front Smyr
na, it would appear that Lord Cochrane had
riiinnenced operations, by the capture ol four
Turkish vessels in Navarino, and seized a filth
front Alexandria, laden with provisions for 1-
brnhim Pacha.
Ttttr.STE, May 12.—The captain of a ship,
ifoi'd Codtraiic was still at Napoli di Romania
engaged in equipping a strong division which
was sup’posed to bn destined against Alexan
dria. The same captain, who touched at Xan
te a week ago, heard that' thirty Turkish traits-
parta with ammunition and provisions, Imd nt-
rived at Moduli. The Greeks continued to
fight bravely before Athens, and tire said to
have gained some advantages.
Constantinople, April 25.—(Front a let
ter written by a Greek.)—The second division
of the [Turkish] fleet ins now left this port.
Blows had been received from the Archipela
go, that the two Greek National Assemblies
Itavo united. A committee, consisting of nine
members, has undertaken the management of
aifiirs till ihe arrival of Count Capo d’Istrin,
who is chosen president. Lord Cochrane is
appointed high admiral, and all the Greek
ships are declared national property. Fifty of
them were immediately placed tinder the com
mand of the high admiral. The latest ac
counts front Smyrna affirms that the Acropolis
of Adi nt is at lengih delivered.

Randolph, (formerly governor of ihis State) and
who was last year appointed the United Stales

no such report had ever reached him (Mr. R.)

tion from Washington on tho subject of the

doii!, is all that lie could gather during a stay
ol seventeen days in Washington”—of the
cause ot that silence, or of the existence or
non-existence of tho aforesaid report, he is
entirely ignorant—-that the Governor of Geot-

it best not to run the boundary lino, until they
were furnished with this report. Mr. Randolph

Horrid Occurrence.-—During tho last

A set of worthy old Bachelors) principally me-

ing been so long deprived of that other union
they so highly prize—They lovo tho union of
the States—-tho union of all hearts—and the
union of the sexes. And if they have not en
joyed the last of theso happy unities, it is not
their fault. They uro determined, therefore,
with tho help of Heaven arid the ladies, to set

The Orator of the Day, '■ his brains, by breathing a purer tftfrtfafr—
' ' |, as jjqiio to the North to spend the.sugg3
and assigned his editorial labours and resw?
bilities to a bit of a lawyer whose wafrljfoS
atorv cannot procure him sufficient practice-a
pay his travelling expenses through hiscirrJ
during the sitting of-court. J
He beeins with lamenting that so worthys
son's election. If the object was any thine elso,
why did they support a man for the Vice Presi
dency, that norther stato ever dreamed of sup
porting?—a man, that could not ever get the
vote of his own state.
The office of Vico President is one of great
importance. The Vice President is, by his
office, President of the senate—a station of
great dignity and extensive influence. And by
a sinele and vory ordinary occurrence of nature,
as well as from other causes, he may Become
the President of the United States. And sup
pose, by a collusion between an ambitious set
of Demagogues, a particular man should bo
voted for by the electors of a majority of the
States, who had never before boon known to
the people ns a candidate for office. Is it not
plainly seen, that by pursuing the course fol
lowed by the Georgian Electors, at tho last e-
lectiun, corrupt men may elect nn Aaron Burr,
or some other equally dangerous, to be either
President or Vico President?—Some niav
think this a plot, which it is bardlv possible to
accomplish—But history furnishes us with ma
ny a fatal instance of corruption, operating in
a wider sphere, and much more difficult of ac
complishment. The conspiracy of Cataline
was conducted with such secrecy and effect,
that the fatal blow was ready to be struck, and
Rome was trembling on the very brink of de
struction, before the monster was detected.
The history of our own country and of nitr
times, is replete with serious warnings on this
all important subject. Every thing is conduct-
ed by caucus and combination—by committees
of correspondence—midnight cabals nnd secret
despatches. The immortal Father of our
country, in his farewell address, has cautioned
us most eloquently against those things. And
w-11 the people of Georgia countenance nny
man, who ones contrary to the express injunc
tions of Washington? When they see men
pnvng the way for their self aggrandizement,
by bolding up the character of that greatest and
best of men, as possessing no extraordinary ve
neration—nothing that entitlos his sacred re
lics to bo regarded with love and admiration
—and tltep pursuing a policy directly at vari
ance with his sacred precepts, what arc they
to think of them? Not one of thoso men, and
not one of their abetters, who supported Mar
tin Van Buren for tho Vico Presidency, ought
oyer again to receive an office from the people
of Georgia. What!. To pretend to represent
the will of the people, and vote for a man
whoso fame had not reached their ears! It is
nn insult to their feelings, and a contompt to
their understanding.

But, if the past is an index of the future, if b-1

also the only course by which the “intense
