the election of Mr. Adams, Mr. Clay should
be Secretary of State. That the friends of
Mr.-A&ms were urging, as a reason to in
duce the friends of Mr. Clay to accede to
their proposition, that if 1 was elected Presi
dent, Mr. Adams would bo continued Secre
tary of State, (inuendo; there would be no
room for Kentucky.) That the friends of
Mr. Clay stated, the West did not wish to
separate from the West; and if I would say,
or permit any of my confidential friends to
say, thattin case I was elected President,
Mr. Adams should not be continued Secre
tary of State, by a complete union of Mr.
Clay and his friends, they would put an end
to the Presidential contest in one hour.
And ho was of opinion it was right to fight
such intriguers with their own weapons.
To which, in substance, I replied, “ that in
politics, as in every thing else, my guide
was principle ; and contrary to the expressed
and unbiassed will of the people, or their
constituted agents, I never would step into
the Presidental chair—and requested him
to say to Mr. Clay and his friends, (fori
did suppose he lt-.d come from Mr. Clay,
although he used the term Mr. Clay’s
friends,) that before I would reach the Pre
sidental chair by such means, of bargain and
corruption, I would sec the earth open and
swallow both Mr. Clay and his friends and
^rnyself with him. If they had not confidence
in me to believe, if I was elected, that I
would f, ail to my aid in the cabinet, men of
the first virtue, taDr.t and integrity, not to
vote for me.’’ The second day after this
communication and reply, it was announced
in the newspapers that l\Ir. Clay had come
out openly and avowedly in favour of Mr.
Adams.
It may be proper to observe that in the
supposition that Mr. Clay was privy to the
•proposition slated, I may have done injustice
to him—if so, the gentleman informing me
can explain.

ent servant, ANDiiEW JACKSON.

u Troubles in Canada—again.—It lias
lately been stated that two additional British
regiments have been ordered to Canada to
put down the “ Troubles ” there—that the
Hon. Co'onel Ramsay (brother to the Earl
of Dalhousie, who arrived a short time since
in one of the Liverpool packets) had brought
important despatches, with which he im
mediately posted off to Montreal; while the
Colonel, we knew, was very quietlv drink
ing his iced champaigne at the National
Hotel, or promenading Broadway! But the
Honourable and Gallant Colonel at length
moved up to the frontier, and on entering
Canada, found all those reports concentrat
ed within the columns of one of the news
papers, given, we are bound to say, with all
the caution, the editor was capable of, from
the nature of his materials. The Colonel
attacked and routed this body of reports
with a short, but pithy letter.—Albion
Col. Thomas AT. Randolph (formerly
^Governor of this State) and who was last
vear appointed the IT. S. Commissioner for
running the Boundary line between Florida
and Georgia, has published in the Charlottes
ville Gazette an Expose of the circumstan
ces which defeated the execution of hi
trust.—He states that the Secretary at War
hud written to the Secretary of State for a
Copy of the Report of F.lliott & Minor
Commissioners for running the line in 1800 ;
but that no such Report had ever reached him
(Air. R.)—that he has never received any
communication from Washington, on the
subject of the charge committed to him
since Dec. 23d, 1S25; “that so was the
pleasure of the President, is all that he
could gather during a stay of 17 days in
Washington ”—of the cause of that silence
or of the existence or non-existence of the
aforesaid Report, he is entirely ignorant—
that the-Governor of Georgia, the Commis
sioner and himself considered it best not to
run the boundary line, until they were fur-
ished with this Report.—Air. S. speaks in
very high terms of the President, as well as
of the citizens of Georgia. lie declares
that “ lie had no difference with any man of
Georgia or Florida, while there, that he has
anv recollection of.”—There is something
inexplicable to us in these transactions—
but. if the Report he the only thing wanting
to execute this duty, we should suppose that
Air. Clay would be better employed in hunt
ing it up, or arranging without it. if it be ir
recoverably lost, than making an haranguing
tour for electioneering purposes. Rick.

In answer to the inquiry, we must.say, we either
never have received the communication signed * J.’
or it has escaped both our memory and search, which
we think would not be the case if it were a good one..
We have consulted ‘Jo. Inquisitor's’ grandmo
ther on the questions he has proposed through us,
and she suggests that he defer the indulgence of
his curiosity until ho can write with more terseness,
and has obtained greater penetration, when likely
he will be able to determine his doubts by his ■ lar-

TIIE CHRISTIAN'S DEATH.
Around the Christian’s dying bed,
Behold his weeping friends !
A thousand tender tears are shed,
While death its horror lends.
The bleeding partner of his rest,
O’er his cold bosom bends,
And tries, in vain, to warm that breast,
Which death’s rude tempest rends.
His infant offspring grasp his hand—
Climb to his failing cheek,
And there receive his last command,
While yet his heart can speak.
Thou dearest hopes ! weep not my fate :
1 go without one sigh:
I’ve lived as live the pious great,
Who never dread to die.

From tho selections in the papers of fo
reign articles by arrivals via Liverpool, to
the 29th May, we extract the following as
of the most interest.
Nothing has transpired to impair Ihe safe
ty and permanency of Mr. Canning’s ad
ministration ; nor have we any reason to
doubt the full and perfect predominancy of
that enlightened Minister’s policy, both now
and hereafter. The troops in Portugal re
main as described in our former advices ;
the head-quarters, and the main body of the
army have fallen back upon Lisbon, in con
sequence of the diminished incursions and
depredations from Spain. It seems to be
admitted on all hands, that a negotiation is
on foot, for the purpose of fixing the dura
tion of their stay in Portugal, oi possibly
with a view to their immediate withdrawal
from that country. If Spain has given such
guarantees to England as satisfies her that
she will not repeat her hostile aggressions
upon her neighbour; and if, moreover, it
has become evident that a decided majority
of the Portuguese people are opposed to the
Constitution, then it would seem that a Bri
tish army would no longer have any busi
ness there. The spirit of the treaties be
tween England and Portugal, is, that the
formcr'dcfends the latter against foreign
aggression only ; and the spirit of Mr. Can
ning’s policy is that, generally speaking,
nations must exercise the right of adhering
to that form of government they like best.—
These are the obvious features of the case,
but we believe that there is another which
has been but Utile adverted to—we mean the
occupancy of Spain by the French army
We suspect Air. Canning will not submit to
the evacuation of Portugal, unless Spain is
evacuated at the same time. The French
are tired of the Spanish affair—perhaps
I part with all my earthly joys,
My heart does not misgive ;
Death only wasting life destroys—
The soul will ever live.
Live, then, in constant view ef death;
His warning voice receive :
Live, praying to thy latest breath,
That you may ever live.

Long Rifle.—A countryman the other
day. who had been listening very patiently
to a detailed account of the murder of six
militia men by Gen. Jackson, as told for the
thousandth time, by a noisy coalition (nan,
was asked what he now thought of Old
Hickory—“Why,” said he, let me under
stand—where were the men shot?”—“at
Mobile ”—“ and where was Old Hickory at
the lime?”—“Oh, he was in New-Orleans”
— c; Then I think we’ll call him Long Rifle—
^sinoe he brings down his man at 300 miles
distance.”—“ Pshaw,” said a wag present,
the shot came from John Binn’s Long Loip.”
England is not less so of her’s in Portugal
and it is not. we think, improbable that boiff
armies will depart as soon as the respective
governments can find a favourable pretext for
withdrawing them. An absolute monarchy
moved and instigated by ecclesiastical tyran^
nv seems, unfortunately, the kind of govern
ment best adapted to the people of the
Peninsula.. For this there is only one reme
dy—education ; until this precious blessing
diffuses ifls benign influence among the ma
jority of the people, they must remain iii
their present benighted state at once the
scorn and pity of the world.
Air. Duponreau, of Philadelphia, has pub
lished a note in the National Gazette, cor
recting the statement which is now circu
lating throughout tae country, that be had
succeeded to the place left vacant by the
death of Mr. Jefferson in the National In
stitute of France. “I have, indeed,” says
he, “ been honoured by an election to a
place of Corresponding Member to one of
the Academics of which the Institute is
composed ; but that is not the place occu
pied by our illustrious Jefferson. He was
one of' only eight members who, by way of
I distinction, arc styled foreign associates.
This place is still vacant, though nearly a
vear lias elapsed since the death ot that
great man. which shows how difficult it is
to find a fit successor to him, even in Eu
rope, and with all the world to choose from.”
From Smyrna.—The Boston Palladium
has a letter dated Smyrna. April 12. which
says—“ The last news from Athens wa&j
that Gen. Karaiskaki had arrived at thfe
camp of Pheleras. to its relief, but was told
weak to attack the Bashaw, who is aha
15000 str.ong. It is generally feared t
citadel must fall, as it is said a black flag wa
flying upon it. Col. Fabvicr commands it,
and as it is well known that no quarter w
he given, even if surrendered, the garrison
may make a desporate sortie, simultaneous
ly with an attack from Karaiskaka upon theij
land side.

Steam.—For some lime past it has been
supposed, says the Newburyport Herald,
that trie projects which our countiyman,
Jacob Perkins, bad been engaged in, in
London, for improving steam engines, wore
entirely visionary, and that they had been
abandoned by him as such. ATe are now
gratified to state, that Air. Perkins has suc
ceeded in perfecting nearly all his plans,
and that he has made several highly impor
tant discoveries in the me of steam. Not
only extracts from bis own letters show this,
but the observations of the ed’tor .of the
London Journal of Arts confirm all his
statements. So far has Dir. P. progressed,
revolution last seven years longer, it will ruiti “
the Turkish Empire.
“ The Porte will not listen to the inter
ference of any foreign powers. They sa;
the Greeks are their subjects, and they wi
grant them no terms whatever but will have 1
their complete submission. The Greeks
therefore, have no choice—they will be dor
stroyed cither way unless some effort is tv
made this campaign, of which the arrival of [Jr o ^
Cochrane and Gen. Church give some kind!
of probability.
“ I was a short time ago, at ConstantindtJ 1
pie, and was astonished to find such
change as had occurred. The streets, which
were" formerly crowded, are now almost de
serted. It is supposed, that at the lowest
calculation 80,000 Turks had been behead
ed or exiled, and new executions are daily
taking place—the most trivial supposition of
discontent is immediately punished witl
death. Such is the strict police that I was
examined, hot only at every coffee house oi
the road, but in getting into Constantinopl
underwent three different examinations, and
my servant was even more strictly examined
We saw, at the arsenal, three 100 gun ships
(3 deckers,) six 74’s, and about 12 frigates
besides 20 corvettes. The remainder
the Turkish fleet was lying at the Darda
nelles—9 corvettes and 2 frigates were fittin
out to join them.
TO MISS O. P. Q.
“ , Tis not yourself, but your riches.
That my enamoured heart bewithes...Hudieras.
IN early youth I loved a maid,
A lass of beauty rare ;
And what but hope, (I often said,)
To gain this charming fair.
But art was young, and prudence veiled
Dame cunning and her train;
The consequence, was, that I failed;
When most I thought to gain.
The maid was fair, her heart was stout,
And e’er I asked to Wed, ; -JLj -
With beauty’s most bewitching podt, .
And angel like, she said:— }. ".
“The am’rous youth I do detest, •' -Vi' ~ .
(To speak in language plain,)- *"•
To modest girls he is a pest, .
By striving each to gein. ; V r -'. q i
Resolved I am, as for myself, . £ " , .
(Act others as they’ve mind,) i ,
To let him know who seeks for"
He seeks, but ne’er shall find! ' ' 7
His warm address, his blushing face, . vs. , .
His efforts—all are vain . , *,
For’tis not beauty, sense, or gi
A purse he eounts his gain.” teg "
From this I’m taught, and now will teach
My brethren all—the male—
Whene’er they plan, ’tis best that each
Should calculate to fail.
This dcnc, your schemes will seldom cost
Much trouble, grief) or pain ;
And if you fail, there’s nothing lost:
But if you gain, you gain!
Though oft I’ve failed—by fortune struck,
Yet Hope my stay shall be;
And yet I’ll trust in right good luck,
Some happy Hay to sec.
Nor will ! e’er ooneenl to roam
In foreign lands, like Cain;
Afar from parents, friends, and home,
Forgone I’d wish to gain.
. Content I’ll live, nor ought will crave,
Since wise men all do say,
