Contrary all previous expectation, an
Election of President has been effected by
the House of Representatives at the first
bal lotting, Mr. Adams having received the
Votes of thirteen States, Gen. Jackson the
votes of seven Statea, and Mr. Crawford
the votes of four Statea. Up to the moment
ef ballotting, the vote of at least one State
was matter of conjecture. The delegations
•f the Statea, it is known, vote, in this cue
by ballot, each State giving one vote. The
States are understood, bowevor, to hive
voted as follows •

Extract of a letter from the Hon. J. Elliott,
to hit Excellency the Governor, dated
Washington, Jan. 27, 1825.
" The accompanying letter was enclosed
to me to-day, by General Lafayette, with
a request that I would transmit it to you.—
He is now on a visit to Virginia, but will be
in this city again within a few days, when
he promises me to write you more satisfac
torily in relation to his intended visit to
Georgia.
I fear, the anxiety of the worthy General
to gratify all parts of the Union, by a visit,
has induced him to undertake more than ho
can accomplish within the time he has al
lotted for that purpose.
He intends to visit every state in the
Union, passing from hence through the
Southern and South Western States, to
New-Orleans; thence up the Mississippi,
and round through the North Western
Statea, to Pennsylvania, New-York and
Massachusetts, so as to arrive at Boston by
the 17th June. I do not believe he can ac
complish this route within the time prescrib
ed. —
Washington, 17th Jan- 1825.
Sir—I am penetrated with the most live'
ly fteling of gratitude Tor the kindness with
which the citizens of the State of Georgia,
their Legislature and Reprssentativea, and
the Chief Magistrates have deigned to wel.
come my arrival to tbn United
to invite me to a visit so very comformable
to my own earnest wishes. I beg your Ex-
cellency to be the organ of my respectful
and affectionate acknowledgements, and to
receive my personal thanks for the kind
manner iu which those testimonies ofesteem
have been transmitted and by yourself ex
pressed.

The following resolution was introduced
and reforred to a committee, consisting of
Aldermen Miller, Densler, and 'Jackson
“ Resolved, That from aud after the first
day of January, 1826, the price of a porter's
badge shall be five dollars, exclusive of the
usual fees of the officers, instead of one dob
lar and fifty cents, as by the ordinance in
such case made and provided; and that
the Clerk of Council be authorised to erase
the words one dollar and fifty cents, and in
aert the wordB five dollars-”
On motion of Alderman Minis, it was re
solved, “ That the Representatives from
Chatham County, at the next session of
the Legislature of this state, be requested
to obtain the passage of an act, to author
ise this Corporation to pass such an ordi
nance as will define the mode of inapecting
and measuring lumber, whereby the true
character of our lumber can be obtained,
and justice done to both vender and pur
chaser.” ' ’ 1 ‘
On motion of Alderman Jackson, it was
resolved, “ That a Committee be appointed
to consider the operation of the nineteenth
section of an ordinance entitled an ordinance
for regulating the Public Market, in the
city of Savannah, and appointing commis
sioners to superintend the same, with pow

The editor ofthe NewportMercury, in an
nouncing thia invention, remarks,” we have
so ofen given credence to accounts of en
gines and improvements that have been
found to be wrong in principle, and useless
in practice, that we have forborne to an
nounce the present one, until it had passed
the ordeal of successful experiment—but we
now firmly believe that the experiment of
yesterday, has for ever settled the question
that steam may be generated in quantities
sufficient for any power, without the aid of
a boiler.

were passed congratulating Lafvette on
his arrival in the United States.

The moment of the Election, yesterday
may naturally be supposed to have been
at Boston on tho 17th of June, in conse
quence of an early engagement to lay the
corner atone of the Monument on Bunker
Hill, renders it necessary to travel with ra
pidity the 5000 miles, which must be passed
between those two periods. An order of
march ia not yet settled, but a few days af
ter my return from Richmond and Harris
burg, I will have an understanding upon the
subject, with your Representatives in Con
gress.
Happy 1 will be, sir, to have it in my pow
er to find myself on the soil of the State of
Georgia, and although my visit must be
one of deep excitement. The result was, muc h shorter than I would wish it, I shall
known in the Hall, as soon as it was ascer
tained how New-York had voted. Thp ve
ry crowded galleries, however, are separat
ed so completely from the body of the
House, and auch perfect ailence prevailed,
that the first idea that a choice had been
made, was communicated by tho report of
the Tellers, that Mi. Adams had received
13 votes ! The effect was electric. With
out wailing for the Tellers to conclude their
report, a few person* in the galleries, by
clapping their bands,die. gave tokens of ap
probation, and a few scarcely audible hisses
were heard, as if in reply to the plaudits.—
The presentation ofthe report was arrested
by the Speaker, order required in the
House, and the galleries ordered to be clear-
•d, and were cleared accordingly. Thia
was a deep disappointment to the more
than thousand persona, who had, many of
them, patiently waited, from early mern,
to witness this august spectacle. It was
necessary, however, that the House should
exact the reaped due, not only to its autho
rity, but to the political rights and personal
'feelings ofits members.
After the galleriee were cleared, the to-
be highly gratified to present to its citizens
and to you, air, the tribute of the grateful
sentiments, and of the high eBteem, a tor-
dial though inadeqi ute expression of which
I beg your Exeellency will accept.

Be it therefore resolved, that the com

mentioned executions in a book to be
prepared for that purpose, in which the

JVeia Steam Engine.—The Newport Mer
cury states that an experiment haajust been
made in crossing Bristol ferry, will a steam
engine without a boiler, inventid by Mr.
John Babcock, of Portsmouth. 1.1. The
experiment was completely succircful, and
we, (says the Providence Journal) shall be
much gratified of its practical utiity can be
completely established. Gentlenen, how
ever, in whose knowledge of mechanical
principles we have much coifidence, ex
press doubts of the success of tlis invention.

Lateitfrom England.—Liverpool papers
to the 8th ult. and letters to the 9th are re
ceived at Charleston, by the arrival of the

Mr. Canning had communicated to all
the foreign ministers at the Foreign office,
that the Cabinet of his Britannic Majesty
had come to the resolution of acknowledg
ing the independence of Mexico and Co
lombia. Commissioners would be sent to
those States, charged with full powers to
conclude Treaties of Commerce between
them and that country, founded on that re
cognition.
The recognition of Bueno* Ayres was
soon expected; but it is said some other in
formation respecting it, is wished betore re
cognition.
Col. Campbell and Mr. Ward had recei
ved their final instructions previous to leav

where they are to reside permanently, the
former Commission being dissolved. These
gentlemen are charged with full powers to
negociate and conclude a Treaty of Com
merce with the States in question.
A levy of four thousand additional troops
was to take place immediately, for the pur
pose,we understand, of re-inforciug the ar

The Allgemeine Zeitung, which had been
received of the 27th ult. mentions the spec
ulations given rise to by the arrival of Mr.
Stratford Canning at Frankfort, on hia way
to Vienna and St. Petersburg. It ib affirm
ed that no apprehension is now entertained
of the friendship of the Great Powers be
ing disturbed. On the question relative to
the claims set up by Russia to a line of coast
in North Amencs, the United States are
made to appear the aggrieved party, and
England ia described to act the modiator be
tween the American anil Russian Govern
ments. All the Greet Powers, it is added,
are resolved, by “ powerful intervention,"
to put an end to the sanguinary contest be
tween the Turks and Greeks ; but in what
way, or in whose favor, tho “ powerful in
tervention” will take place, is not specified.
A private letter of the 10th ult. from
Cronstadt states, that in consequence of
the exhaustion of the Ottoman treasury,
such heavy taxes have been imposed on the
inhabitants that some provinces of the em
pire are left nearly a desert by the emigra
tion, and the moa ardent wish ofthe hearts
of this oppressed people is, that the Greeks
may be successful.
A very destructive storm prevailed along
the coast of France the end of December.
At Lisbon every effort was making by
Sir Wm.A’Court to obtain a removal ofthe
ministry. The General impression is, that
the English influence is of much strength,
and the King so thoroughly persuaded of
the necessity of their protection, in order to
bear up against the intrigues of the Queen
and her soli’s party, that Sir William mu9t
ultimately carry his point.
The Emperor of Russia haa addressed a
rescript to the Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affaire, charging him to exercise the most

Given, of New-York ; and a young female,
the child of Mr. and Mrs. Betterly. of Bal

Wood has been found ; in his pockets were
upwards of £7,000, which has been Baved.

The total number of the crew and pas-
rengers it is generally agreed was above
forty ; we uniferatnod some of the passen-
S cro have reported it at ibrty-eight. The
liamond sailed from New-York on the 12th
Dec. and would therefore have the Presi

National Legiilature.—In 8enate, Wed'
nesday, 9th inst. nothing of importance was
transacted. At 12 o’clock they proceeded
to the Hall ofthe House of Representatives
for the purpose of opening and counting the
electoral votes.
In the House of Representatives, Mr. P.
P. Barbour, from the select committee on
that subject, made the following report:—
The select Committee, to which was re
ferred the communication of the Speaker of
3d inst. report •
That, upon their first meeting, with a view
to eaecute the duty imposed upon them by
the House, they directed 'heir chlirmn to ad
dr N a letter to the Hoa. George Kremer,
informing him that they would be resdy ( at a
particular time, therein itned, to reccve inv
evidence or explanation he might hive to of
fet, touching the chirgci referred to ia th
communication of the Spsiker of the 3d inst.
Their chairman, in conformity with thia in
itruction, did addren moh c letter to Hr.
Kremer, who replied that he would make s
communication to the committee i accordingly
he did send to them, through their chairman,
c communication, which sceumpiniea thia re
port, marked A, in which he declines to ap
pear before them, for either ofthe purposes
mentioned in tbeir letter, alleging that he
could not do so, without appearing either ss
•n accuser or a witneia, both of which he pro-
teata against. Ia this posture of the case, the
committee can take no further atepa. They
are aware tbst it is competent to the Hou>e to
invest them with power to send for pertonc
and papers, and by that means, to enable them
to make cny investigation which might be
thought necessary ; sud if they knew any rea
son for such invealigatiun, they would have
•Iked to be clothed with the proper power ,
but not having, themi'dves, any such know -
ledge, they hive felt it to be their duty onh
to lay before the Houae the Commumcatio;
abich they have received.
We find it impoasible to publish the whole
of Mr. Kremer’s letter. The following,
