FROM THE RALEIGH N, C. REGISTER.
Raleigh, Dec. 25.
* We publish bcloiv^.the proceedings-' of
t-he •Convention which assembled in this
city, on Thursday last, for the purpose of
. training an Electoral Ticket in favor of
Mr. Adams. Six moftths since the friends
of General Jackson would have “laughed
to scorn” the Idea, that such a ticket could
be formed. But now it is accomplished
aud in a manner which presents cause of
gralulation to-the friends of the Adminis
tration throughout the Union. Twenty
seven days only intervened from the an-
--mmciation of the meeting in Carteret,
which proposed this Convention, to its
consummation, and yet, such is the ener
getic state of feeling iu the community
on this subject, that thirteen out o four fif
teen Eiec*orial districts, were represented
in it,' aruf By individuals respectable both
on account of their talents and the services
rendered by,a number of them to their
country. We confidently believe, that
had tho meeting been delayed a month
longef, nearly every county in the state
would have been represented. It was
howqver a.powerful expression of public
feeling, and when, we reflect, that ncariv
twelve months ;ue left to the friends of
Mr. Adams to operate, and that all they
wish is aditTis'.on of light, our anticipations
are most sanguine.
It wilkbe seen, from the annexed pro
ceedings, that the deliberations of the
•'V/Ouvention were characterized bv great
fir mness, dignity and moderation. As to
the ticket presented to the people, bv the
Convention, it is unnecessary for us to
say any Grog. It speaks for itself, ft
has been formed openly and above board.
It is the work of no secret caJiel—no ar
istocratic attempt to forestal tlia^ppinion

Flection of Mayor in Liverpool.— Tl.u
election for Mayor which took place in
Liverpool last October, was more closely
contested than any, as we believe, on re
cord. It lasted six days ; and at the close
of the; poll in each of tlie five first days
there was a lie between the candidates,
Messrs. Robinson and Porter. The lat
ter candidate succeded at the sixth day,
by a majority of 15. The voles then stood
for Porter 1780,for Rirbinsou 1765.—
l he Liverpool Albion speaks of many
disgraceful scenes as occurring during the
contest. “Bribery was opeulv reduced
to a system. One party gave three
pounds lor each tally, and as much beer
as the men could drink, while the other
gave five pounds only, allowing the men
to get drunK at their own expense.”

brabim, now driven to despair, will listen
to no proposals made to him by the Ad
mirals: “Destroy, ifyou please, the few
vessels that temaitt in the port ofNavarin
I will carry fire and sword through the
whole of Greece !” This threat, it is much
feared, he will be able to carry into effect:
he has a powerful army at his disposal
and the Allies are incapable of affording
an}- immediate assistance to the unfor-
u:nate Greeks, unless, indeed, the Russian
army cross the Prutlt; and should that e-
vent take place, England and France will
not view the circumstance with any
degree of satisfaction. Austria has al-
9. Colonel William Hinton, of Wake.' ways been averse to the interference, and
10. Edward Hall, of Franklin.
11. Samuel Hyman, of Martin.
12. Isaac A. Lamb, of Pasquotank.
13. Gen. W. Clark, of Pitt.
14. William S. Blackledge, of Craven.
15. Daniel L. Kenan, of Duplin.

the Turkish dominions.”

Admiral Codrington.—This officer
was Captain of the Orion, in the memo
rable battle of Trafalgar An English pa
per says: “Had he waited another day
before he destroyed the Tjrkish fleet,
it w ould have been the anniversary of the
glorious victory in xvhich he had a share
on the 21st October, 1805, when the
country was deprived of its lamented na
val hero, Lord Nelson, and the maritime
force of France and Spain annihilated by
the British fleet under his command.”
Count Heiden, the Russian Admiral in
the Levant is a native of Holland, but be

of the Emperor Alexander, he was iu dis

A teacher ofthe Mussulman frith, who
was struck in the face by an angry follow
said, “ I might return blow for blow ; but
I will uot. I might complain to the Ca
liph ; but I will not. I might represent
to God in my prayers the outrage you
have offered ; but I will not, I might at
the day of judgement call on God to a-
venge it—but so far from doing so, if the
great day were to come, and my inter
cession could avail, I would not enter
paradise except in your company.

It is wholly in vain to attempt satisfy

accepting the invitation of his friends to
a few public entertainments Vbich were
got up to honor him on his journey to his
home in Kentucky, the last summer.—
