Gbdnzy, from Thompson’s Island, we learn that it continued in a very Unhealthy state. Of eighty individuals on the island, fifty were sick of ague and fever t,. Rcss&Atr. was in command. The fol lowing U S vessels were left at Thomp son’s Aland —brig Porpoise, Lt. Ramagt; *khr Terrier, Lt. M‘Intosh; schr. Grey hound, Lt. Farragut; and schr. Wildcat, Lieut. Wolbcrt. No recent piracies had been heard of at the time the Florida sailed. CONGRESS.—In the Senate on the flfli mst. a number of petitions wero pre sented and referred. The bill to secure the accountability of public officers was read a third time and parsed. The bill from tbe other House autborieing surveys for roads and canals, was read and passed to a second reading. In the House of Representatives Mr frloyd laid on the table a resolution request, itag the President of the United States to inform that House, “whether the rules and regulations compiled bv Gen. Scott for the government of the Army, and repealed by an act of Congress of the 7lb of May, 1833 are now enforced in the army, or any part thereof, and by what authority the same have been adopted and enforced.” Mr F'i>t, ofN Y introduced a resolution to Inquire into the expediency oi reducing th< term of service in the Militia of the United Slates, from 49 to 40 (except in cases of invasion or insurrection.) Mr. Thompson, of Georgia, moved for leave to introduce a bill directing the payment of the Georgi. Claims, for services rendered during the years 1793, *3 and ’4. After some convcr cation between Messrs. Cocke, Cobb, Bar hour, and Tracy, the Speaker pronouncer. the request to be out of order, because the cebject had been already referred to a com. mittee, and reported on. The bill from the Senate authorizing the building of an additional number of sloops of war was read twice, and referred to the Committee'on Naval Affairs. The House then took up in committee Of the whole, (he' bill to amend the several lets imposing duties on Imports. Messrs. Tod and Clay advocated, and Messrs. P. P Barbour, Randolph, Cambreling, * M'Duffie, Garnet, Tomlinson, Hamilton 4nd Cuthbert, spoke against tbe bill In donclusion Mr. Clay moved that (be com mittee rise, and the House adjourned. Ad arrival at New York from Alvarado, coniit ms account that the firing between the Castle of St. Juan de Ulua and the city of Vera Cr«* had ceased. The Mexican squadron were lying at Alvarado on the 22d ult; and a Spanish frigate and brig were hying at the Castle. The Br. frigate - Thetis, was at Sacriflcios* taking in freight ■fyjv Europe; she had already taken in a large ip* quantity of specie, and eight hundred ce ‘Yoons of Cochineal. A privateer schooner of about forty tons had been cruising in the bay oMMexico for two months No mails from Mexico, had been receiv ed at Alvarado for three days previous to thb 23d, in consequence of a counter revo lution at .Peubla, which was soon put down and order restored'. Tbe Jlexican Congress were in session, and had issued a new coinage of dollars from flic mint.

The performances at the Charleston Theatre on Wednesday night last, were for the benefit of the poor of that city. From tho JTathington City Gazette, lUA'intl, CAUCUS AND ANTI.t.’AUCUS NUMBERS AND TALENTS. The Washington Republican of Saturday Iasi, speaking, by way of comparison, of the signers of the notice lor a meeting of the Democratic members of Congress at the Capitol, on Saturday next, and oi those who have subscribed the Anti Caucus Paper, says of the former, that “it is the act of a minority, "insignificant both in numbers and talentsAs to numbers, we explain ed, in ur last Gazette, that, on former oc casiotts, the notice to meet was signed by but one person, and the name of one per* son would have been sufficient in this in stance, for such a preliminary purpose, had it not been for the knowledge that existed, of the machinations of the anti Caucus gentlemen, and that it was deemed expedi ent to counteract them by an addition of republican names, the whole eleven being men of democratic note and character.— Numbers, merely to give notice, are not material, It is in the Caucus that the number of the friends of Mr. Crawford will hefoi.nd The votes there given will be the touchstone of his republican political strength. If we suppose that the term “in significant" was meant, by the Republican, to be applied to all the members of Con- gross favourable to the Secretary of the Treasury, then we should say the editors of that print have contradicted their own admissions; for they have allowed, and Messrs. Johnson and Co. allow, that there are 80 members who will go into ' Caucus and nominate Mr Cra -ford; and surely, out of 231, the whole number of Republic ans estimated to belong to the Senate and House, 80 cannot be pronounced an “insig nificant minority"—particularly when those 80 are united upon one candidate, and the remaining 141 are divided between four or five, leaving, at the utmost, not more than 35 J for each If there is any thing “insig ficant" in the number, it is the utter in significancy of four or five p> tty minorities, made up of the most discordant materials, conspiring to form a majority, for the pur* pose of defeating a candidate, who, in point of popularity and majority, is greatly the superior of either of them. In the equal, these minorities must separate, for the sup port of thtir several candidates It is im possible for them to continue in combina tion. They want the true Roman cement —the cement of principle. As it regards the “talents” ©f the gen tlemen on each side of the question, we have no hesitation in averring that those who have subscribed the notice for a Cau cua have decidedly the advantage. Take Pennsylvania, for example. Will any one pretend that Samuel D. Ingham, is to be compared, as to intellectual (acuities and useful acquirements, with Walter Lowrie? In the practice of intrigue, indeed, Mr Ingham may exceed Mr. Lowrie. But as to dignity of mind, legal and constitutions knowledge, and belle lettres accomplish ments, no intelligent individual ever thought f placing the first mentioned on a par with the last. MR. JEFFERSON'S OPINION. The Philadelphia Democratic Press, not long ago, mentioned a letter Which had been teceived by a gentleman from Mr. Jeffer son, wherein that illustrious man gave his opinion In favor of Mr. Crawford, as the Republican Candidate for the Presidency. We have taken some pains to ascertain the existence and contents of this letter,And have been enabled to verify that such a communication of sentiment has passed from the Patriarch of Democracy to one of his friends. The purport of it we under stand to be this i That, as to the qualifications of one ot the candidates (meaning Mi. Adams) he had never had an opportunity of judging, from the circumstance of the Secretary ol State’s political principles having been in uniform opposition to his own. But that, as to the qualifications of Mr. Crawford, whose principles and views (Mr. Jefferson says) had been uniformly congenial with those entertained by himself, he was more competent to decide, Sec. With respeetto some others, we understand he added, they were so little known to him that he could suy nothing concerning them at all. Wash. City Qaz. 12th inst. MR. MACON. We are always happy to hear the voice of the venerable Macon, on the floor of congress; it reminds us of times long past. This hoary Patriarch ol legislation, has been at all times a favorite with his brother members, in times of the highest political excitement; and whether he agreed or whe thcr he differed, it was always precisely the same—a favorite he was, and a favorite he will be, to this dying day. What has rendered this man so peculiarly fortunate on the floor of congress, for such a period, through such astonishing revolutions of popular sentiment, amirtat the rise and downfall ot kingdoms, states and empires— Was It an intellect that ranged so large and so magnificent, beyond the sweep of ordinary minds; an overwhelming elo- quence, that dazzled into conviction ? No! it was something more majestic, more com manditig,than eloquence or talents—in <ne sentence, it was integrity of heart. Mr Macon carried his title to esteem and love, in his own bosom, in that singleness of heart, that has been his companion through life, and which will not desert him in the season of hoary hairs. We hope often to etfi from this character. Distinguished and adorned by all the home-born, home bred, hospitable virtues, an Bge of political life has not impaired one of these proper- ties of the heart, and Mr. Macon remains to the present hour, just the same unso phisticated character, that he was when he first set his foot upon the floor of congress, nd such he would still be, if his life were protracted to the age of Methusalah Balt Pat. to this venerable Captain in our lionary Armies, that it was conceived and moved by Col George E. Mitchell, one of those men of the second generation of Uni ted Americans, who distinguished himself by his gallant conduct in the second war with Great Britain.—A at. Int, {"Pan the stpop Delight.] From the Charleston City Gasette of yesterday ^ Morning. Fairly /fir.—Col. Johnson, the conque ror ofTecumseh, is reminded of his being Secretary of the Caucus that nominated Mr. Monroe in 1810, since he uow appears at the head of the anti-caucus committee. It should not be forgotten, though, that he has received promotion, and is not the first politician who has found his situation chan ged from the humble state of secretary to the more responsible post of chairman.

Why, Edward Lloyd, a stern, enlightened, and liber .l Republican, pposeg to Joseph Kent, wJio has never -Mvinguished himself except as an election cerer, and by procuring a seat in Congress through the means of the very Caucus sys tem which he now contemns: But well Bas sett, a veteran Republican, well informed, experienced, and taking an active and use ful part in the framing of laws, opposed to Robert S. Garnett, whose name, fame, and reputation, as a republican politician, are yet to be ascertained: And John Forsyth, the eloquent and able statesman, wh«, not withstanding the gross blundering of Mr. Secretary Adams, finally effected the ratifi cation ol the Florida treaty with Spain at M&drid. To these we may add New Jer sey—from which we find Mahlon Dicker erson for a Caucus, and George Holcombe against it. It is not for us to indicate the talents and services of Mr. Dickerson. He has been too distinguished for his charac ter not to be known to every one in the least acquainred with our political annals. But'lately Governor of New Jersey, and at this time Senator from that state in Coo gress, he must enjoy, in a very eminent degree, the confidence of the Republicans of his state. Mr. Holcombe is a young membet, scarcely known as a politician be yond the limits of New Jersey ancPthe walls ot Congress—on<, who,we have understood, writes pretty rhymes, but who is assuredly not so qualified as to entitle him to dictate to public opinion In reality, if you compare, generally, those who are in favor of a Caucus nomina tion with those who are opposed to it, you may count, on the former side, the old re publican Standards, the men who have in vited confidence by their stedfast adherence to principle; and, on the latter, a new race of politicians, in a great measure unknown, or not long known, to the nation; and if known, remarkable only for their abandon ment of principle and pursuit of office and emolument, by attaching themselves to the skirts of particular candidates. From this ■ lass, we, of course, except those who have always declined attending a Caucus.— Those Who act from principle—of which consistency of conduct is the only proof— deserve, and shall receive, our respect, al .rough they may be inimical to our presi dential candidate. •* - • *••• ■ v • . > « ., Translations from a Smyrna paper, qf JVov 21 1823 From Napoli di Romania, [in the Mo rea,] dated Oct. 30ih. The utmost bad disposition reigns in this peninsula—the common and radical vice inherent in the character of the Greeks, when their affairs are prosperous. What will they do when the Turks attack them seriously ? One ol our great resources, and nearly the princi pal one, is the fleet of tbe Islanders.—But this resource is about to fail us, as we can not support it much longer. The little money we have we want for our own exi gencies; and it will he impossibl* for us to furnish what the Hydriotos, Spozzmies and Ipsariots expect. We have failed in ob taining a loan from one of the richest na lions in the world; and the generous emo tions of the Helenians must yield to the times, as all other passions do. The decline of the Marine alluded to, is sensible.—In the first year ol the revolt they mustered 150 sail; in the second they had but 100; and in the third they have been enabled with difficulty to equip fifty sail. Such are the lact, and any one can draw the inference. The Ottoman fleet has frequently traversed the Archipelago, without having stopped at a single island —Happily for the islands the powerful spares the weak, but it is un fortunate for us, that there is another active power, secretly destructive—it is, the time which is wasted in this inaction, which in creases insensibly" the abyss of our misery The Islands are nominally independent.—* But they are so in name only;—for if the Turks does not acknowledge their Indepea dence, they can never have it. ocknowledg ed. Without the Islands, Turkey can re main strong and flourishing; but the Islands can never flourish without an intimate and cordial connexion with Turkey. The Turks perfectly know the extent of their position as it relates to the Islands, and act accord ihgly. Unfortunately for us, by losing the Islands we lose all; while the Islands in at taching themselves to the Porte, gain every thing in the end. We have nothing to re joice in the past, must b\. content or satis fled with the present, and hope for the fu ture. The insurrections in the European nations have issued unfavorably. All our hopes from that quarter have vanished.— Our attentive and seduced ears have been opened to hear the thunder of cannon from aura? imwa. POUT OF SAVANNAH.
