’ *\( r Clav arrrivcd in Baltimore on the 15th,
on his w%y to hi* residence in Kcn’uckv. He
vr* P waited on says the Patriot, by a targe con*
sficitizens.
Mr. Wirt, late Attorney General, has taken
up his residence in Baltimore.
Gov Van Boren was to have left Albany on
the for Washington, to enter upon his new
duties Secretary of State.
The legislature of Marvlnnd adjourned on the
jdth ‘“Through the obstinacy of the senate,
wri the Chronicle, in persisting ?n their re i ec *
lien of the assessment bill, the state is left, an
other year without any provision being made for
an adequate revenue to defray its current ex
pense*.”
It w*s asserted by the adherents of Gen. Jack
son, previous to the election, that if elected, he
would be the head of the nation, rather than that
ofa-par?v; that he would call around him the tal
ent of the counlrv, without regard to party dis
tinctions, and pursue a course of policy at once
magnanimous, liberal and wise. But how has
this pledge been redeemed! Thus far, the acts
. of President Jackson seem to have been governed
by the most narrow and illiberal prejudices We
regret that it has been so. In all his appoint
ments to office, party violence seems to have
been the only test of merit. Old and faithful ser
vants of the people have been displaced to make
roonrfor his favorites. The error of opinion
has been punished as a crime, and to have
doubted his fitness for office, is a heresy which
- demands the purgation of fire to cleanse. Thro
all the offices immediately dependant on execu
patronage, there has been a general tu m ont. Is
this the Rrform about which Duff Green has so
eloquently written?
Rowland Stevenson Again. —The Pilot Boat
Savannah, in which, it has been supposed, the
fugitive banker Stevenson, was carried away re
turned to this port, yesterdav. Capt. White was
immediately arrested, on affidavits charging him
with a participation in the abduction, and hound
■over to the next term of the Supreme Court, to i
answer to the offence charged.
In regard to the final disposition of that wretcli
'€d individual, we have abundance ot rumor. though
nothing has reached us in a shape that will enable
s to speak positively an the subject. The pre
•vafHng report is, that he was carried to N. York,
and taken possession of by the British Consul,
under the warrant of the Mayor of New York,
executed by Hays of the police—brought up be
fore the Recorder on a writ of habeas c >rpus, and
remanded to jail-on an action of debt. It is also
said that an extensive excitement prevailed in
New York on account of his arrest, which even
went so far as to cause an attempt to seize capt.
White of the Pilot Boat, who put to sea and elud
ed pursuit.

The Senate yesterday acted on a great
number of nominations to brevet and lineal
rat k in the am y; but no nominations of
mo e ihan ordinary importance were sub
mitted or acted on,
A motion to transfer the message and

b'uriktrfrom Riode-Janeiro. — In addi
tion-to the item of Commercial Intelligence
in the Chronicle of yesterday, we have since
received letters from ojr Correspondent at
Rio de Janeiro; and are also indebted to
the politeness of mercantile friends in this
-ci l v for others, prices current, &c brought
by tfie Marcus, at this port. We regret to
learn that the prices are so unfavorable; for,
there appears to have been an ad
vance iu the article for flour, the reader
will perceive, bv oue of the following letters,
that the speculation was not based upon any
solid foundation— it originated here , on the
then rise of the article, which ha?, since fa I
- two dollars per barrel. But even could
sales be effected at the rates at which flour
js quoted, by our letters below, coffee And
have proportionally advanced like
wise, so that the returns will be no better
dhan previous letters advised: add to which,
tito decline of tfie Exchange on England,
the mill on being down to the 23 l-2d, (al
ihough there is a promise of measures being
at length atfojpcd to improve the currency,)
we find our orst informed merchants incline
to iltojpinef tlut no profitable business can
be at Kio de Janeiro lor some time
to come.
“Rio de Janeiro, Jan 23, 1829.
“Our markets generally are dull lor Ame
rican imports. Flour, in consequence of
the laige advance that has taken place, sells
slowly at 18$ per bhl. The quantity on
hand may be calculated at .about 17,000 bbl.
exclusive of a tolerably large supply of
wheat. Produce of all description is high
and scarce.
“There is no political news of importance.
Our last accounts from the river say, that
Buenos Ayres was still in a very unsettled
staie. Com. Brown who had been ap
pointed governor pro tem. still filled the
office

Creighton, and corvette Boston , Captain
Hoffman, sailed for Montevideo on the 11th

Extract of another letter , dated , li ßio de
Janeiro , 2 Is* January 1829.
“The accounts from your place brought
by schr. Monticello , of flour having ilsen to
$9 in the U. States, has occasioned consi
derable speculation here—almost every bar
rel of new flour, then afloat, (about 7- 00
bbts.) was bought at 135300 a 14$, by the
holder of the interesting news, who, tor that
purpose, had spread a report about, that he
had orders from the River to ptwchuse a
great quantity of flour. The stock on hand
was iu three hands only; and as the article
was rather dull at the time, every one was
anxious to sell his at a price, at which with
great difficulty it could be sold by retail.—
\Y r e sold w hat quantity we had on hand,
with the exception of about 700 bbls. and
su did another of our neighbors, who also
kept about 800 bbls.; this remained on hand,
when it got known that the quantity of flour
bought was for account of a hotr-e in Balti
more, and that it wis the intention to keep
it for some time, without offering it for sale,
in order to rai3o the price here. V\ e then
acted accordingly, asking 20$ per bbl., but
have not been able to dispose of any at that
price yet. Our bakers have determined
not to purchase till the greatest necessity
forces them to do so, and we must thus look
on patiently to see whether they subwi*, f
which, in our opinion, there is not the least
doubt, if tiie cargoes per ship Balloon and
brig Margiretta, from Baltimore, which
came in a few deys ago, are not offered at
a lower rate. For the present, no sales are
made whatever.
“Produce continues to be iu great demand,
and sugars and coffee rise almost daily with
out remaining in proportion of prices in
Europe, where ihey must leave u consider
able loss at tlie present rate,”

FROM BUENOS AYRES & RIO JANEIRO.
Wf have received, from out Corresp in
dent at BuenosAy;es, a Bulletin announcing
tire execution of Col. Dorrego. The dcs
eigns of Gen. Lavalle are yet involved in
mystery but it seems to ns thaf, for an of
ficer whose aulhority is self created, he as
sumes, with but little scruple, the responsi
bility of acts which, to say the least of them,
are extremely arbitrary. The following is
a translation of the Bulletin.
Navarro, Dec. 13, 1828.
77? his Excellently Don J. M. Diaz Velez .
Sir:—l inform the delegate government
that Col Manuel Dorrego has this moment
been shot by my orders in presence of the
Regiments which compose my division.—
History will judge impartially whether Col.
Dorrego has, or has not, deserved to <?ie
and whether iri sacrificing to the public tran
quility, one who has laboured to destroy it,
I have been actuated by any other than
feelings of patriotism.
The people of Buenos Ayres may rest
assure and that the death of Col. Dorrego is the
greatest sacrifice that I could make iu their
cause. Juan Lavalle.
The following letter from oi*r correspon
dent gives some further particulars of this
event which tend to impress still more
strongly upon us, the belief that the conduct
of Gen. Lavalle is calculated to excite sus
picion as to his motivos.
Extract of a letter to the Editor of the
Baltimore Gazette , dated , Rio de Ja-\
neirdy January 15 thy 1828.
“When Doirego was taken (which was
in consequence of his joining a body of men
whom lie took for his friends but found to
be his enemies, and by whom he was de
livered up,) at the solicitation of his rela
tives, Mr Forbes, our Charge d’Affnirs,
and also the British Charge d’Aflairs, cal
led upon the new and self axalted authori
ties to beg that he should not be put to death,
and received a positive -ossorauce that te
should not, but agreeably to his desire,
should be permitted to depart to th,. United
Stales, (which appears the asylum of the
oppressed of all countries,) but he was
nevertheless immediately shot by order of
Gen. Lavalle. I send a Buenos Ayrean
paper which speaks of the letter, but does
not reach to Dorrego’s capture and execu
tion. His body was given to his relatives
and was interred in the ctu; a proceeding
well calculated to inflame the citizens who
are generally his friends — Gazette
The National Calendar, just published at
Washington, by P. Force, contains a larger
store of valuable and useful information than
any other work of the size and kind with
in our knowledge. Every citizen desirous
of being informed of the nature and extent
of the national institutions, and government
of this Union, ought to have the book by
him: and foreigners will find it the very best
source to which they -can have recourse for
the intelligence alluded to. It gives a com
plete view of the machinery of the govern
ment of the U. States, its three co-ordinate
branches. Executive, Legislative and Ju
dicial, with the manner in which each is
formed anu administered. The du’ies and
ihe mode in which the President and Vice
President who stand at the head of the ex
ecutive branch are elected; and the com
ponent parts of the departments into which
this branch is divided are fully detailed.—
The Executive Departments are known to
be the Department of State; the Treasury
Department; the War Department; the
Navy Department, and the Post Office
Department.
The Department of State consists of the
Secretary of State; a chief clerk; twelve
clerks and two messengers and a superin
tendent of patents, who has also, two clerks
and a messenger.
The Treasury Department is composed
of a number of separate and distinct offices.
First, the office of the secretary of the trea
sury, who has a chief and eight other clerks
and two messengers. The other offices are
those of the first and secoud Comptrollers.
The first second, third, fourth and fifth
Auditors; the Register, Treasurer and Com
missioner of the land office. Each of these
officers are appointed by the President aud
Senate, and have their respective clerks
and messengers.
The war department is composed of the
office of the Secretary, in which there are
seventeen clerks; the Engineer, Adjudant
General, Paymaster General, Quartermas
ter General Subsistence, Surgeon, Ordi
nance, Storekeeper and Purchasing De
partment, have each their several offices,
clerks, &,c.
The Navy Department consists of the
Secretary of the Navy, his clerks and mes
senger, and the Board of Commissioners.
The Post Office Department is also an
important and extensive oue. The Post
Master General lias two assistant Post
Master Generals, a chief clerk, and forty
other clerks, and three messengers.
Some idea may be formed of the extent
of power and responsibility attached to
the office of Post Master General, when it
is known that the persons employed by the
department, including Post Masters assist
ants, clerks, contractors, &c. &r. are esti
mated at about twenty seven thousand.
On the Ist Jan. 1826, the United Slates
had purchased at various periods, within its
boundaiies, 158,377,667 acres of land. Os
these 19,236,412 have been sold, 7,708,066
appropriated for the support of schools and
colleges, and 21,156,889 for military boun
iu*s and special donations, leaving 210,273,
300 acres yet undisposed of. Theie are
iif addition 55,947,453 not yet ceded by the
Indians. We cannot however continue our
examination. The foregoing is sufficient to
show ihe nature of the intelligence furnish
ed by the book under consideration.

Judiciary, Ministers and Consuls, Public
Lands, Pensions, the Mint, Customs, Light
Houses, Posi Offices, Army Register, Na
vy Register, Revenue and Expenditures,

Calender. W e repeat, the work is a highly
interesting one to Americans, and will be
of great value to foreigners, having inter

From the National Journal.
American Tariff. —fi appears, by the
Ameiican papers recoived this morning,
that the attempts hitherto unde to induce
the House oi Representatives to consider
the Tariff have failed, and the majority
against the last motion on the subject was
sa great lint no hope can be entertained of
the success of any similar attempt until a
ne v w election lakes place, or till the influ
ence of General Jacksou has been fed.
London Globe
The interest felt and expressed by the
British Journals during the recent con
test, respecting the result, has been a subject
of frequent reference, and among intelligent
and observing individuals, there has been
no difficulty in assigning the true cause for
this interest. The feelings and policy of
Mr. Adams and his administration have
been considered by Great Britain, as too
rigidly and uniformly American. He was
neither to be cajoled nor threatened out of
those measures which a stern and sagacious
patriotism suggested; and those measures
were felt too severely in Great Britain, to
permit them to be regarded with any oilier
feeling than that of hostility. Os these
measures, the tariff was the most conspicuous
and the most injurious in its operation upon
British interests; and when England per
ceived the character of the party by which
the claims of General Jackson were sup
ported—a parlv composed for the most
part of men opposed to the tariff policy, and
looking to its repeal—she was led to the
belief that the election of General Jackson,
embracing, as it would, the triumph of that
party, would operate a change \.f policy
favorable to her views and interests. ‘Phis
belief was strengthened by the ambiguous
of General- Jackson himself w hen ap
plied to for an explanation of bis views in
(elation to the tariff policy. To suppose
that, with this conviction, Great Britain
would remain an indifferent or inactive
spectator of the contest, would be to betray
a great ignorance of her character and her
past course. She always works by her
immediate agents. In war she accomplishes
her ends by subsidies; in peace by intrigue.
It was more than once charged, during the
Presidential contest, upon Great Britain,
tjjat she employed all possible means to
piomote a icsult in which she believed her
own interest to be so deeply involved. It
was alleged that British geld had made its
way into the American territory, for the
purpose of influencing that result; and this
fact, we have been recently informed, is not
only well understood, but generally spoken
of on the British side of the Canadian
frontier.
General Jackson has been elecled, and
Great Britain anxiously waits to see the
manner in which his influence will be felt.
If, on the one hand, those features in the
existing tariff which are most injurious to
her manufactures shall be modified or re
pealed, she will consider that her efforts to
aid in the election of General Jackson have
not been made in vain; and that the capital
she has expended on this object will be
productive us advantage to her inferos-s.
On the other hand, should the tnrifl policy
he still persisted in, and the present taiili
be continued in it* most odious form, sht
mnv be led to calculate on the dismember
ment of the Union, which would throw a
great portion of the power ot otir confede
racy, manufacturing, commercial and politi
cal,’ into her lap. The proceedings of the
next session of Congress will determine tlie
accuracy with which her calculations may
have been made. It will then be seen
whether, and to wh t extent, American in
terests are to be postponed to those of our
great political, and manufacturing and com
mercial rival.
Os the importance of her manufactures
to Great Britain, did we desire proof, we
could find nothing more conclusive than the
following paragraph which we extract lrom
the New Yoik Gazette:
The import of Raw Cotton into Great
Britain for the last year, ending the sili of
January, 1828, according to the official
vule.it ion:
Amounted to £ 8,063,688 3 2
While the Exports for the same
period of Cotton Manufactures,
including Yarns, exclusive oftho
Imports of Cotton from India, a
mounting to 34,700,094 16 0
Leaving as profit on wages, for
the manufacturer thereot, £25,737,256 12 8
Equal to v $114,387,807 35
It appears that from a raw material,
chiefly obtained from our own country,
Great Britain realizes an annual profit to
her manufacturers equal to five times the
amount of our whole national revenue.—
The tendency of cur tariff system is to
transfer this immense profit from the foreign
to the domestic manutacturer We have
the material, the ingenuity, the industry,
and the capital among ourselves. By a
judicious combination of all these advanta
ges, we may place oui selves on that eleva
tion of prosperity, to which, by a neglect
of them, we are now contributing to lif; our
great rival. Such is the policy pursued by
the last administration. Such is the policy
which it is tlie object of Great Britain to
arrest in its inlaucy.
General Jackson’s influence is relied on
to overthrow this policy, and to take away
| the sustenance of cur ow n prosperity, in
order to offer it to the British manufacturer.
Wo have no doubt that, at the next session,
j a strong effort will he made to repeal the
present tariff, or so to change it as to make
it worthless as a protection to domestic in
dustry. In the mean time, it is not irrational
‘to expect that attempts will he made to
operate upon the public feeling in order to
prepare it for such a change. It is incum
bent, therefore, on the friends of domestic
industry to be vigilant and armed to resist
such efforts. If the influence of the present i
Executive is to be thrown into the scale
against the system of protection; against
tlie policy of preceding administrations;
against the policy which has received the
express approbation of a great majority of;
the people of these United States, then !
there is much reason to tremble for the 1
continuance of the system, unless public
energy shall he found competent to defend
what the public judgment has unhesitatingly
approved.
Let it not bt forgotten that Great Britain
is interested in the repeal of the Tariff;
that she has watched with solicitude the
course taken during the late session; and
that frustrated iu every other hope, she
lias at length concluded to postpone her ex
pectation of relief to her own manufacturers
by American legislation, “til! the influence
of General Jackson has been felt.**
