was marching on, with every pros

close. On the 25th of June, a rein
of between 2 and 3,000
troops from Colombia, had passed
Cbagres, on their way to Panama,
to embark for Pern, taking with
them a great quantity of arms, am
munition, and cordage, &o. for the
navy. A report prevailed through
out the country, that a treaty of
alliance had been formed between
C dombia and Hayti, in which the
latter agrees to furnish &.000 troops,
completely armed for the assistance

The extravagance of the Russian

him 50 far as gravely to propose the
subjugation of the United Stales of
\ortli America “ Founded, he

Inm for all innovators gave them
Ihe means of disseminating at a dis
tance by their writing, and by the
authority of their example, a poi
son of which the communication
could not be questioned, as it was
well known that the Freoeb Revo
lution had had its origin in the U.
State*; that already troublesome
effects werefelt in La rope from the
presence of (lie French Refugees in
America, and more particularly in
France; that the administration of
that kingdom was obliged to bend
before tho revolutionary spirit; and,
that a prom jit repression of demo
o rati cal principles could alone pre
vent the irruption of an evil alrea
dy so grave in its source.” After a
variety of considerations oftbesame

ceeded to observe, That the con
quest of the United States of Ame

Ihe danger from allowing to subdsf,
much longer, the form of the aotu
al government; that the degree of
power to which (he Americans had
risen, made them objects of fear to
the European Monarchical Govern
ments, but ihat at ihe same time,
(he sum of their tidies having aug
| mooted that of luxury and ©orrup
i tion, there vas reason to thiuk that
{ the principal citizens of the United
1 States would not be displeased to
sv'e a change which would place
them at the head of the government
of ffteir country; that as the aristo
cratic®! spirit w T as more particular
ly perceptible in the towus, the in
fluence of the rich citizens might
easily bring about tho desired
change, that it would in vain be ob
jected that the United States had
just oome off victorious out of the
struggle (hey had maintained with
Great Britain; that this success
was owing to particular causes, the
absence of which would overcome
opposition and resistance, and that
two of these causes ©cold notfail (o
strike every observer—that, in the
first place, the richest citizens saw
with fear the moment approach io
which the Rngiish party would re
place the United States under Umj
power of England; that, in that
ease, they would consider them
selves as stript of their power, and
subjected to the tyrannv of the Rti
tish aristocracy, whoso represenia
tivea would impose ro them a yoke
as severe as humiliating; that, in
consequence, seeing they could gain
nothing by this change, they made
every effort to overcome every dif
ficulty, in which they would not,
perhaps, have succeeded, hut for
the impolitic conduct of the Eng
lish who set fire to Washington; and,
that it is, perhaps, to this second
cause, that the failure of the enter
prise, and consequently the consol
idation of the Republic, is, io a
great measure, to be attributed.”
Convention with Russia.
Mr. Lucius Bull, who arrived in
this city a few days ago, was the
bearer of despatches from our Min
ister at St. Petersburg!*. By these,
it appear* that a Convention was
on the sth 17th of A
pril last, between M’\ Middleton,
on tho part of the United States,
and Count Nesselrode and Mr. Po>
letica on the part of Russia. We
understand that the Convention con
gists cf six articles, in which a!i
the points in dispute between the
two governments are adjusted, io a
manner the most honorable and ad
vantageous to this country.
The Ist article authorizes the
free navigation of the Pacific Ocean,
by bo-h parties, and reoog dzes the
right of fishing, and of landing on
all points of the West ©oast not al
ready occupied, in prder to trade
with the aborigines.
The 2*l article provides, that (lie
citizens or subjects of either coun
try shall land at points occupied by
either, without the permission of
(be Governor or CommaodHWAr
The Sd article fixes tho bounda
ry line 54°, north of whivji the
United States are not to form es
tablishments, and south of which
Russia eaanot advance.
The 4th article allow* free en
trance, to both parties, for ten
years, into all the gulfs* harbors.
&r. of each, for the purposes of
fishing and tradi’ g with the natives.
The sih artMe interdicts a trp.de
in fire arms and and pro
vide* that violations of this article
9hal! he punished, not by seizure of
the vessel, but by penalties, to be
prescribed by each government, on
its own citizens or subjects.
The 6th article presorihes that
the ratification shall be exchanged
within ten moDths from the date of
the treaty.
National Intelligencer .
From the Puller C^ a O Sentinel .
An artMe is now going the rounds
of the papers friendly to the elec
tion of Gen Jackson, which charges
Mr, Crawford with voting against
the right of suffrage, on the Missis
sippi question, io the same manner
that Mr. Gregg voted on lha ques
tion. Some at least of these papers,
warmly supported Mr. Gregg, not
withstanding this vote, ad they now
give us an evidence of their consis
tency, by condemning the vote io
ano'her, which they justified in Mr.
Gregg. But the truth i*. the votes
of Mr. Crawford and M-\ Gregg
w re not the same, and their situa
tion was entirely different, as the
following fact* will show*
Mr. Crawford at that time was a
Senator from Georgia. ( nder a
particular compact with that State,
the territory of Mississippi wa*
formed out of her limits. At that
time the state of Georgia contend
ed, that, under the compact, Con
gress had no right to pass the law in
question without her consent. Whe
ther, in this opinion, the state was
right or wiong, is of no importance
in the present enquiry, li was the
duty of her representatives and more
particularly so of her Senators, to
represent her views. Hence wp
find the votes of Mr. Crawford di
reeled against she whole bill, and
against all its parts. He voted with
Mr. Gregg to strike out a part
of (he bill. But he voted also a
gainst the whole bill on its final pas
sage as did atl his ©olleugues in both
houses from Georgia. Mr. Gregg
voted for the passage of the bill.
fn the state of Georgia a vote re
stricting the right of suffrage would
be is unpopular as io Pennsylvania.
In the constitution of Georgia, al
though some limits are placed on
those to he elected, yet the right of
suffrage is even more broad than it
is in this state.
On the right of suffrage, the views
of Mr Crawford are as liberal as
those of Mr. Jefferson as explained
by his late letter on the Virginia
convention. In this respect Mr.
Crawford differs from the Adams
family, who contend that property
is of the li st importance to the ex
ercise of this right. He differs also
from the sentiments of Gen. Jak
sqo, us given by his votes on the
constitution of Tern e9ee. In shori,
his sentiments on this important
point, coincide wiih (be sentiments
of the Republican party of this state,
who have ever evniended for this
right in its fullest exercise.
CAM DOUR,
MILITARY \N CDOTES.
Anew military work has been
published in Paris, lu ihe chapter
on military eloquence ‘he author
mentions the instance of the brave
General Chevert, at the siege of
Prague. At the moment of placing
(he first ladder to in >u>i( to the
assault, he called Sergeant Pascal,
and atd, “Grenadier, by that ladder
you will mourn the first; ihe sentinel
will cry • Qui rive'* You musi not
reply, bui continue to advance.
He will demand a second and a third
time, and then he will fire; he will
miss you—you will kill him. and I
shall be there to support you.” The
grenadier felt inspired by the spirit
ot iho oraije, and all succeeded as
had been foretold.
When Richer wa* in Egypt he
sustained during five hours, with
only two thousand men, the united
efforts of twenty thousand. He
was nearly surrouadetl, was woun
ded, and bad only a narrow defile
by which toescape in this extremity.
He called to him a chef de hataillon ,
named Chcvardin, for whom be
had a particular regard. “ Take
(said be to him) a company of gren
adiers; stop the enemy at the ravine,
you will be killed, but you will save
your comrades ” Yes, my Gener
al’ replied Chevardin. He gave his
watch and iiis pocket-book to his
servant, executed the order, and
his death, in fact, arrested tho ene
my and saved the French. There
is something grand in the judgment
of Kleber on the character of Che
vardin; and on the side of Chevardin
what a capacity for self-devotion]
What ascendancy in the one, what
submission in the other! It is the
heroism of Leonidas that dared
to eommand, and the devotion of
Deoius produced by a simple word
of confidence.
FROM ALBANY—2.
Agreeably to the Proclamation of
the Governor, both Houses of the
Legislature assembled this day at
12 o’clock. The Proclamation be
ing read, a resolution was offered
authorizing the appointment ofcom*
mil tees <io wait on the Governor and
Senate, to inform them of the or
ganization of the Assembly—a call
of the House was then made, from
which it appeared that 121 members
were present. The Message of the
Govereoy was then haoded in by his
Secretary and read. It is a icmpei
rate, but prosing document—duii*
and common place. It will be per
ceived that he speaks of this extra
ordinary call as an act cf duty, an,!
professes to be indifferent as to p;: <*
sonal conseq lecoes. He does n,>*
forget to refer to “ the passions of
men,” and speaks a little about “in
trigue, faction, the source ol power*
&©. &o. &e,” We were ail anxious
to hear whether his Excellency had
embraced any collateral subject s*
and a universal smile was visible
When the trite and domestic subject
of steam boat boilers were intrmla
ced, winding up with a eulogy oa
Gen. La Fajetie.
Mr, Huger offered a resohitionr
that the Message lie on the table,
and tfie usual number of copies uat
printed—the motion for printing
prevailed, when Mr. Fiagg opened
he batteries by offering resolutions*
(which are printed in the Albany
papers) condemning in unqualified
term* the conduct of the Guver .or*
and proposing to adjourn botU
branches of the Legislature forth
with. The resolution, being acoo
current one, lies one day oa (tie ta
ble, Avery spirited and peraoQah
debate ensued.
Mr. Talmadge considered it pro
per to refer the Message to a Com*
mittee of the whole House, and
make it the order of the day to-mor
row ;—it was decorous and proper*
that the Message should take thi?
turn, a*d he went into arguments to
prove it.
Mr. Flagg replied briefly—hs
had no objection to refer the Mas
sage to a Committee, but he waj
impressed with the eonviofttin, that
this was not an oon*s}*n which jus
tified the Governor in the exe*, is*y
of this extraordinary power, and b&
sooner they adjourned the better,
and with as little ceremony as pos
sible. The censure on (he conduct:
of the Governor should be pointed
and severe, as an example tu future
executives.
Mr. Wheaton was in favour o£’
referring the resolutions to a com 3
mittee—it was decorous and expect
ed, and without that reference th&
points aud bearings could qoi be
cussed.
Much desultory debate of au uo*
important character ensued
Mr. Crary, from Washington
County, a great “people’s” man,,
and of course extremely zeaious and
patriotic on the solitary question off
the electoral law, made a coarse and
abusive attack on Mr. Flagg, yhicb
was repelled with force and moder
ation, wheo a motion was suddenly
mad© to adjourn, which was oarrU
ed, and to morrow the Resolutions
of Mr. Flagg will be debated.
In tho Seoate every tbiog went
on smooth and prompt. Similar
resolutions censuring the call were
offered—and when the vote is taken
io that patriotic body, the tnosb
abused seventeen will find them
selves strengthened by auxiliaries*.
There is hut one opinion here and
throughout the state —the Legisla
ture will adjourn—the voire of the
people condemning in strong terms
this violation 0 f Executive power
will be heard and obeyed. The
electoral vote, in which is centered
the power and influence of this great
state will fee preserved, compact
and powerful, and not soattered to
the winds to gratify (he ambition of
one or the intrigues of another. A
great alteration in the opinion of
some men is visible~*wiien asked,
“ Who do you support for Presi
dent ?” the uniwer is, “1 am for
the State of New York—whatever
my state says, i say.” That is tho
proper answer—Why take up arms
against the will of the wise constitu
ted authorities, to whom the people
have delegated their powers ?
There are some long faces here—
some who now reluctantly admit
that Crawford is the favourite cf
the state, and will get the electoral
vote: they think it policy however
to persist io declaring, that at the
November session Mr. Adams will
succeed—it is the only ground they
have left to stand upon, and they
will dispute it until driven from ev
ery hope and position, by the unan
swerable, uudoubted vote of
state, Nat, Advocate*
