Further important particulars.
Nothing is unimportant which concerns
such distinguished persons as Mr. Van
Buren and Mr. Cambreleng. In our last
we gave an account of, Mr. \ an B., with
his hat on, and Mr Van §., with his hat
off; of his age in truq time, and his “age
in apparent time ajso the effect of “time
and study” upon hif head : also of the
“few hairs on his head,” and the effect of
“frost” upon them. When the distin
guished Senator mef*witli this accident of
having.r]Jiis hair frostbitten, we have not
learnod. We also described him as “un
der the middlo size,” which is also said to
peeping in at the window, to witness the
interesting spectacle,) “for this reason,
5a id Mr. V. B.; a most exorbitant duty is
laid on Foreign cheese, in order to pro
mote the manufacture of the domestic ar
ticle. Now I hold, that making cheese is
a thing, which the States have reserved to
themselves, over which Congress has no
control, and I have determined to set my
face aj ainst this constructive usurpation.”
“By not setting your teeth into the domes
tic article,” inti rrupted Mr. Cambreleng,
with a laugh, in which the company hear
tily joined. Catnbreleng, by the way, is
the wag of the party.
To this jesting remark of Mr, Cambre
leng, Governor Burton, who was pres
ent, said aside, “You’d have your match
to set-your teeth in this, any how ; it is the
real white oak.”
Mr. Cambreleng caught the last words,
and added, “You might have said live oak,
Governor,” pointing, in fact, to some in
dications of vitality. Another general laugh
followed this sally.
“Bur, joking apart,” said the venerable
Macon, when the laughter had a little sub
sided, “Mr. Van Bur ;n .is right. I should
like to know, in what part of the Consti- j
faculty to conceive of any indemnity which
earthly honours or earthly wealth can of

service of his country—the place of his
nativity, and from which he has received
nothing but kindness and honours—Sus-

how they couhl stand justified to their con

try, at this crisis, of their valuable servi
ces. In putting on their coats we were
struck with strong macks of individuality of
character. Mr. Y. B. held the collar of

be nfiished this operation. Mr. Cambre
leng, on the other hand, with the readv
careless manner ofa“well bred buckskin.”
clapped bis bands in the two arm holes,
and whisked his coat round,over his head,
sailor fashion, in seven seconds. Mr. Y.
B. looked at him archly, and said,“you
are g n tting quite ad-oif, Cambreleng, in
lint.” Mr. V. B..in this gentle hint about
turning his coat, was supposed to allude to
Mr. Cambreleng’s letter about ‘State
Bights.’ written so soon after asserting the
right of Congress to endow deaf and dumb
hospitals, relieve the sufferers at Alexan
dria, and carry the pension svstem to its
full extent. To this sally of Mr. V. B.,
C unbreleng made no reply, but raised his
eves towards him with a look that seemed
to snv, •‘thank vnu for nothing.” Both the
gentlemen’s coats were made loose and ea
sy, the lining of as good quality as the ex
terior, and capable of being shifted, and
worn either side out, as may be most con
venient.
A most remarkable instance took place
at Mr. Macon’s breakfast, of the insinua
ting address of Mr. V. B., which, at the
same time, gave Mr. Cambreleng an op
portunity of shewing the reach of his “ge-
i.ius and application ” We take the great
est pleasure in living these interesting
particulars before our readers. M*\ Ma

sons never eats cheese, having a natural
antipathy to it. Mr. Macon, in the true
iniquitous tax was first imposed in 1790,
and was then 4 cents per pound. It has
since been raised to nine. For every
pound of cheese, therefore, eaten in the
country, the poor oppressed consumer
pays to the pampered dairy interest nine
cents It is computed, that the inhabitants
of the United States eat, one with anoth
er, three pounds of cheese, each, per an
num. Taking our population at 12 millions
this is 36 millions pounds. Nine cents a
pound on this quantity gives the enormous
sum of $3,230,000 annually paid to pam
per the che'ese-makinginterest of the coun
try. Again, but for this iniquitous tariff,
36 millions of pounds of cheese would be
annually imported, at about 10 cents per
pound, and principally, through the port
of New York. Here is a .capital of
millions of dollars, in the single article of
cheese, withdrawn from commerce, and
all to gratify the overweening avarice and
monopol izing spirit of the cheese manufac
turers. Such are the burdens laid upon us.
It is therefore peculiarly gratifying that the
Patriot States’ are awake to the common
danger.”
The company were astonished at this
display of Mr.-Cambreleng’s “genius and
application,” and congratulated each oth
er that chance had brought these eminent
travellers (whose object is health and rec
reation, not politics,) to enligh'en the grat
ified citizens af Warren, N. Carolina.
Mr. V r an Buren, in rising from the ta
ble, observed, that when he had finished
“the improvement of the printing presses”
of the country', he should goto work with
the cheese presses; and he believed, for
his own part, that if Mr. Clay had not
thrown away the Colohial Trade,the Brit
ish Government would have admitted our
milk and cream into the West Indies,
where we could have got bills of exchange
to pay for imported Stilton and Glouces
ter.
This-conception of shipping cream to
the tropics Was too much for Mr. Cam
breleng, who looked reproachfully to Mr.
Van Buren for invading his province. Mr.
Van Buren however, returned him a wink,
as much as to say, “I know my auditors;”
and in fact the company broke up in the
firm belief, that if Gen.” Jackson could be
made President and Van Buren Secreta
ry of State, we might ship cream to Bar-
badoes and Antigua.

Of any. such bargain wo
have expressed utter disbelief, from the
first amount that it was changed against
the President and the Secretary of State.
We thought, at the time, that Mr. Clay’s
vote was such as he could not help giving
without a forfeiture of all cheractar for
political consistency, n^-t to speak of any
persoual feeling which may or may not
have entered into the matter. The pre
tence of the existence of such a bargain,
however has been gravely set up, and up
on that ground the Combination, which
has also been boasted of, denominated the
present Admifiistration “the Coalition.”
If there was any improper understands
ing between these two high publiq officer
the evidence ofit was the appointment of
Mr. Clay to the office of Secretary of
State. The barrier which the Constitu
tion has erected against such coalitions
is to be found in the power of the Senate of
the Lnited States to control Executive
appointments. The appointment of Mr.
Clay was the consummation of the fraud

is now alleged as a reason for opposition

appointment, there was certainly^collu

a copy of the Yeas and Nays on that ap
pointment; at which we confess we were
surprized; for, although we published them
at the time, it was before any “concen

The name of the Marquis of Lans-

to state, that the noble Marquis lias con

that of his political friends to the Govern

The acceptance, indeed, of the post of

and that of those moderate friends (to
whom we yesterday alluded) who usually
act with him.

We have conversed with a gentleman
who has recently returned from Constan
tinople, whither he had proceeded in an
official capacity. He intimates that pre
vailing conjectures with respect to Greece
are in a great measure erroneous, and that
none of the European Governments have
made use ofthe strong language imputed
to them; their interferance has arisen from
a wish to prevent a further effusion of
blood, and restore tranquillity to tnat un
fortunate country; but they have not man
ifested any wish to aggrandise their terri
tories at the expense of the Porte; they
have not denied that Turkey is fully en
titled to subdue her rebel subjects by force
of arms, and as long as she will be able to
send a sufficient force into Greece that
may offer any chance of attaining the pro
posed end, it will be utterly out of the
power of any States of Europe to disre
gard the principle which forms the basis of
every civilized nation—namely a right to
put down any attempts that may be made
by their subjects to shake off. if you nlease
to call it so, their yoke. The different
Ambassadors have exerted every means
in their power to induce the Turkish Min
isters to come to some definitive arrange
ment with the Hellenists; an arrangement
that might prove beneficial to both pat
ties; for instance, that Constitutions
should be granted to them, guaranteed and

The news they contain from France,
and the Debates in Parliament, at the
opening of the Session, are interesting.
A spirit of discontent against the King
of France and his Ministry appears to be
extending itself—at a review j n the Champ
de Mars, on Sunday, 29th April, strong
feelings were manifested by the National
Guards, who uttered cries, not only a-
gainst the Minister Villele, but against the
Sovereign himself. The circumstance
had produced much excitement in France.
Discipline, (says the Etoile,) has re
ceived a wound ; the father ofhis country
should hear nothing but praises fjrom his
children.” The detachments ofthe Na
tional Guard on duty, had been replaced
by other troops, and an Ordonnance had
been published, but not executed, for dis
banding the whole of that corps.
A large portion of the paper ofthe 2d,
is occupied with the Speeches of Mr. Peel,
Mr. Canning, and others, ofthe preceding
evening. The Sun says that the Speech
of Mr, Peel was distinguished by the dis-
playof much talent, and that it had filled
his admirers; with exultation and hope—-
but they particularly call the attention of
their readers to that of Mr. Canning, espe
cially those who are interested in the Ca
tholic Question. He does not make it a
Cabinet Question, but, as he informs Par
liament, the very fact ofhis being in office
must promote its ultimate success.
The House of Lords met on the 2d ult.
when Lord Lindburst was introduced as
Lord Chancellor, and took his seat on the
Woolsack. The number of Peers pre
sent is said to have been greater than ever
before remembered.
Immediately after the organization of
the House for the despatch of business,
the subject of the late change in the Min
istry was brought up, when the Earl of
Eldon, and the Duke of Wellington, ex-
plaine tat length the causes which had in-,
duced them to resign their respective of
fices. They were followed by Earl
Europe to whom any infraction in the
treaty should be referred, and their de
cision as arbitrators he deemed irrevoca
ble. This plan mav be thought Utopi
an, and the different States are aware that
it will he a kind of humiliating r.ircnm-
stancefnr Turkey; but there is no nthe»
resource left, as all the Foreign Ambassa
dors, with the exception of the Austrian,
have declared, that as soon as Greece shall
have expelled the armies which are still
on her territory, the Powers w : ll then act
as they have recently done with respect
to the American States that belonged to
Spain; enter mto a commercial treaty with
them, and recognise their indenendance.

perform, on account of the facility afford
ed him by his steam vessels; the Egypti
an forces now in Greece would then be
withdrawn. The second plan, which we
think Lord Cochrane is more likely to
pursue, is,tosail to Tenedos, pass the Dar
danelles into the sea of Marmora, and
then make a dash through, the Straits of
Constantinople into the Black Sea. This
may appear a bold undertaking, and a wild
scheme, but let it be remembered, that
many years ago Admiral Duckworth
although having to contend against the
the skill of General Sebastiani, and a
number of French engineers and artillery
officers, performed this feat, and why
should not the hero ofthe Basque Roads,
aided by the enthusiastic bravery of a
people struggling for liberty, be able with
his steam-boats, to compass the same ends?
The shores of the Black Sea are rich, fer
tile, aud unprotected; they will afford a
a rich harvest, you may rely upon it to
the brave crew ^hRt accompany Lord
Cochrane.
LONDON, APRIL 30.
Gouging.—The most justifiable act of
this kind of which we have heard is the
following : A Kentuckian belonging to a
surveying party, under an officer of U. S.
Engineers, swimming in St. Johns River
was seized by a large alligator and taken
under water. In a short time the Kentuc
kian "and the alligator rose to the surface,
the latter having the right leg of 'he for
mer in his mouth, and the former having
his thumbs in the eyes ofhis antagonist.
The officer immediately gave orders to his
party, who were in a boat a few yards
from the combatants, to go to the relief of
their comrade, but the Kentuckian per
emptorily forbade any interference, saying
give the fellow fair play.” It is needless
to add that the gougar obtained a com
plete victory. Having taken out one of
the eyes ofhis adversary, the latter, in
made, 120 feet wide and 18j feet deep,
up to the city; and the other two require
two dams to be built, one between Hutch
inson’s and Fig’s, and the other between
Hutchinson’s and Argvle’s Islands. Sa
vannah is becoming the concentrating
point of a very strong public interest.—
Every day gives us some neiv evidence of
it. We see her rising from her late de
pression with the vigorous bound ofyouth.
The Savannah papers of the 11th, state
that 51 vessels were then in her harbor,
26 of which were for foreign ports, princi
pally Liverpool; and we have seen fre
quent notices that large ships had sailed
from northern ports to obtain freight in
Savannafc. The exports of the last eight
months, exceed the exports of the same
period last year, 24,000 bales of Cotton,
2,464 tierces of Rice, and 86 hogsheads
pfTobacco; and being an increase over
those of the same period in 1^25, of 71,-
i51 bales of Cotton, 5,427 rierces Rice,
and 406 hogsheads Tobacco. The for
eign exports of Cotton this season fall
short of the last but 468 bales. We have
been too unwell to ascertain this morning
the amount shipped from Augusta to Sa
vannah this season, but we stated on good
authority in our last, that 20,619 bales
went thither, from our enterprising little
neighbor, Hamburg. Besides the dozen
Steamboats, which now paddle between
the cities of Savannah and Augusta prin
cipally, a new one is building here, and in
New-York, an elegant one is in prospect
to ply by the side of the George Wash
ington and Carolina, so as to give us a
Steamboat passage up and down the river,
every other day. • We remember, and the
day has net long since passed by, when it
took us four days to go to Savannah by
the Stage. We now receive its papers
three times per week, and the Washington
goes down and comes up frequently withir.
the week, having gone down in 24 hours,
17 hours 25 minutes running, and coice
up in 35J hours, including all delays on
the river. We might present several
other interesting evidences of existing and
prospective greatness for Savannah, such
as the Ogechee Canal, and other contem
plated internal improvements, which will
operate principally on the prosperity of
this point of our sea-coast; but we have
said enough to show, how strongly the
public attention is attracted to the great
place bf ultimate deposit for ihe multipli
ed products of the immense back country
of Georgia, and the richest districts of
South-Carolina,
