From Washington.—We have received a
letter from a correspondent at Washington,
dated on the 7th inst. He states that General
Jackson stands at present with the force of
eight states,via. New-Jersey. Pennsylvania
Maryland, South Carolina, Alabama, i on-
nessee, Mississippi, and Indiana. These
are the only states that are counted upon at
this moment. Mr. Adams stands, with the
accession of Mr. Clav’s interest, as follows
Maine, Rhode Island, New-IIampehire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, N.
York, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Louis
iana. Missouri remains doubtful, but it is
thought will go for Adams, if Jackson does
not get more votes than eight on the first
ballot. Mr. CRAwroRn stands with the
states of Delaware, Virginia, North Caro
lina, and Georgia, The most general im
pression appears to be, that Mr. Adams
will be the successful candidate.
We omit the calculations and opinions
which arc added, believing them unneces
sary, when perhaps in the course of one
day, or two at furthest, we shall have the
actual vote of the house ; only adding the
following short extract from the Richmond
Enquirer :—
Mr. Cruwford's friends, wc learn from all
quarters, are cool, firm and united. They
will not listen to the idea of their having a
second choice. Such is tho uniform sub
stance of all the letters, and all the accounts
we obtain from Washington.
Should the preliminaries to voting in the
House of Representatives, have been com
pleted in time on Wednesday last, we may
possibly receive the result of the first vote

Georgia.—It affords us pleasure to dwell
open the prosperity of any portion of tho
State of Georgia •, but we are particularly
gratified at the increase of that portion of
it, with which the city of Savannah must be
closely connected. We alludo to the western
part of the state which is advancing by rapid
strides to wealth and consequence. Letters
which we have seen speak in the most en
couraging manner of the prospects of that
portion of the state. The new counties
are settling with astonishing rapidity, and
the emigrants are of the most respectable
kind. This is pcrticnlarly applicable to the
counties of Bibb, and Monroe. The latter
in two years time will be the most populous
county in the Btate, and but little behiud
any in wealth and intelligence. Macon
must at no very distant period become
a place of great importance. Should there
be another cession of lands, of which there
is a prospect, by the spring, Macon will be

Anecdote of Oglethorpe.—Old General O
Callao, two Spanish frigates—which it is
said is well authenticated.
A small sloop was brought into Havana,
on the 20tli ult. from ail out port called
Jaruco, by nine armed boats, under the or
ders of an officer of the Spanish Navy,
which had been despatched in pursuit of
her. It appeared that she had been fitted
out by the permission of the commandant at
St. Jago, to go in pursuit of pirates—was
afterwards fallen in with by a British ves
sel of war, who suspecting the genuineness
of the commission, took it from him, and di
rected the sloop to follow her into Havana,
where its correctness could be tested. This
her captain did not think proper to do, but
put put into Jaruco, and came over land to
Havana, to recover his commission, when
the boats wore despatched to bring the
sloop round to that place. She was armed
and had on board sixteen men.
A Mew Invention.—A Paris paper men
tions an invention which must add all the
beauty of statuary to the lightness and fa
cility of workmanship in wood. It is a pre
paration of wood, by means of which,
they are enabled to imitate the most preci
ous species of wood and the rarest marbles.
All the infinite blendings of veins and shades,
the transparent clouds of marble, which the
pencil of the painter can imitate only on the
surface, are obtained by the inventors to
whatever thickness they desire. The wood
of their composition, whatever object of im
itation or fancy it represents, may be plann-

In speaking of the paragraph recently
circulated in the newspapers, relative to the
manner in which General Laeavette had
invested the sunt voted to him by Congress,
the National Gazette remarks—that the
beloved guest wished tho national gift to be
inveated in the national funds, so as to con
nect his fortunes, as they have been here
tofore connected, with the whole Union, and
therefore asked the opinion of the Presi
dent of the U nit eff StatcB as to the best
mode of accomplishing that object. The
latter gentleman, aware of the loss which
would attend the purchase of stock at its
advanced price, consulted the Board of Di
rectors, who, immediately and unanimous
ly, agreed to offer the General, at par, the
amount which lie should desire of tile re

to remit his dividends to France, every

place.

tion of the report of the Committee on the
Judiciary, unfavorable to the petition of
Elienozer Oliver and othere, together with
the motion to strike out of the resolution
accompanying, the word “not,” so as to re
verse the report. The debate on this sub
ject was resumed, and continued during the
whole of this day’s sitting
Mr. Van Burcn spoke at great length, a-
gainst the {claim of the petitioners, ground
ing his objections on these points: That
this question had been once decided by a
competent tribunal, established at the in
stance of tho parties seeking relief i that it
was against the policy of ti>« govemmem,

Mr. Kelly, Mr. Seymour, ami Mr. Mills,

to Mr. Van Burcn, aud in favor of the claim
of the petitioners ; after which, the Senate
adjourned.

Ireland.—The arrest of Mr. O’Connell,
the celebrated Irish Catholic barrister, for
seditious words ulledged to have been Bjio
ken at a meeting of tne Catholic Associa
tion, threw Dublin into great agitation, and
no doubt must have produced the liveliest
sensation throughout Ireland. He is ex
ceedingly popular with the whole body of
the Irish Catholics, and if the government
should proceed against him with much ri
gor, a terrible, consuming flume may be
kindled, lie remarked to tho officer who
arrested him—“ There is one thing you’ll
admit, Mr. Alderman, that the Attorney
General will have no difficulty in getting a
grand jury to find any bills ho pleases
against me.” Jeremy Bcnthum has written
to the Catholic Association enclosing them
his subscription offive pounds towards the
Catholic rent, which is a fund raised by
general contribution, for the purpose of aid
ing the cause of Catholic emancipation, and
is likely to amount in the end to a very con
siderable sum : the Cork Reporter says
150,000 pounds ayear! A prosecution was
to be commenced, on the part of the Asso
ciation, against the London Courier, for
some atrocious libels on the Catholic col
leges and Prelates. We have scarcely ever
read more violent language than that of the
Courier against the Association. It is not
sparing of such epithets as insane, rebellious
