If we feel, sa we do, that bothouroandidates should be elected, wc should also recollect that tile western voters feel the same anxiety for the success of theirs, and whilst we expect their support for ours, We should give our suffrages for their candl- dates.

The west could, in despite uf our greatest efforts, elect the whole seven representstivee from amongst themselves.— They are disposed to treat us with with great liberality, and we should be ungrateful to them and unjust to ourselves, not to contribute our voices, (almost inaudible as they are, from their paucity,! to* the support of their as well as our own candidates. At the Election ot 1818, it is wall known that tickets were circulated con taining the names of alt llte candidates fur Con- gnu, and that usually only the superfluous num ber were struck out, and a full ticket given for six candidates. It was the design of several gentlemen to have pursued the sume course in 1B20, but the desolation of our city that year, to. getlier with a violent-storm on the day uf elec tion defeated these intentions. The whole number (ten or twelve) who had resolved upon executing this plan were sick or absent from the city.

Here the matter for the present rests. The New-York Evening Post intimates that the Hon. Timothy Pickering, of Massachusetts, contemplates writing memoirs of his own'Times on some similar work. Our surviving revolu tionary soldiers and patriots possess uo doubt valuable body of information, which does not exist any where else, and which will be forever lost if not recorded during their lives ; and it is ro be regretted that more works of this descrip* lion have not been undertaken.

ANOTHER SPANISH CAPTURE. Extract of it letter from St. Thomas, dated June%7. It is again our painful duty to acquaint you of another capture by the Spaniards, of American property.

Crowell informs us he does not know what is to become of the ship and cargo he can obtain no sentence. We regret to say, there is no nation whose commerce is left in the unprotected state of the Arne rican in these seas, where no one sails so many 1 vessels. The Spaniards are pre paring a swarm of privateers, which will soon be out. The recent prohibition of the boats navigat ing tbe sound under the exclusive privilege of Livingston & Fnlton, by the Legislature of Con- necticut, has turned the stream of enterprise into new channels. The New-York boats now ply direct to Providence, and a line lias been formed to run between Jersey City, opposite, and Providence, to touch at New-Haven, New- London, Newport and Pawtuxet, to land pas. sengers. Several salutary regulationshave been adopt ed in the New-York state prison at Auburn, whioh may be worthy of imitation in other in- stitutions of the tame kind. The convicts are to receive no letters or intelligence whatever from or concerning their friends, or any infor mation on any subject out of the prison, nor be permitted to write letters themselves—no rels tion orfriend shell be allowed to speak toa con vict, except in some extraordinary case—where the condition of hit property or family imperi ously requires it, and then, only in the presence ofthe agent or deputy keeper i but any infor. motion concerning the conv-ets, will be fur- nished to their friends on pertonal application or by by letter poet paid, directed to the agent A new work under the title of “ Miscellanies selected from the public Journals," has been published in Boaton.

(From the Charleston Courier of Monday.] Our Hies of London papers to the l&th, and Liverpool to the Mth June, were received on Saturday, by the ship South Carolina, Capt. Essterby, in 43 daya from Liverpool. From the extracts be low, it will be seen that the prospect of war between 'Russia end the Purte, was at an end, and that trade between the two countries was beginning to revive. The West-lndis Trade, and Colonial Rills, are stated in the Englishman ol the 9th, to have been read a third time and passed in the House of Commons, on Friday the 7th Tune. But the Morning Chronicle, and Liverpool papers, in giv ing the Parliamentary proceedings of that day, do not mention the circumstance. No particulars of the-provisions of those Bills are given. The extracta from the Irish papers con tinue to present a melancholy picture of the sufferings of the inhafritants of that un fortunate country, from famine and di sease. Subscriptions were Mill going on, and liberally supported in various parts of England, for their relief—but wc do not discover that Parliament has yet adopted any measures for that purpose. Spain continued in a very unsettled -state. In many of the provincea, the fac tious', headed by the -priests, had caused great disturbances, On the 28th May the Cortea addressed a message to the King, complaining loudly of the conduct of his Majesty and hia Ministers, in con fiding the government of some of tbe pro vinces to persons who are obnoxious to the people—and calling upon his Majesty, in very plain and determined language, to adopt the moat energetic measures to restore tranquillity to the country, and to drive from the soil of Spain these eo> cleaiastics and prelates who preach fana ticism and rebellion," never to r-eturn to blow the fire of discord, and light up the torches of superstition.” F- ance appears to have been perfectly tranquil at the last dates. Thirty young men were apprehended at Paris on the 3-1 of June ia consequence «t some recent tumult there, bat they were ill rtleesed the next day. The trial of Mr. Stuart for murder, in killing Sir Alex. Boswell in a duel, had romn .need belbre (he High Court of Justiciary, at Edinburgh. The Caledonian Mercury of the lOlli June, rrmaiks, that no trial had ever excited more interest. Printed handbills had been circulated in the neighbourhood of Mr. Stuart’s resid ence, containing, on one aide an account of the duel, ana on the other sn account of the welt known murder of Begbie. Mr. Wallack, the performer, arrived at Liverpool the 5th June, in the pteket ship Columbia, from New-York. A Liverpool K aperaaya, •* We are lorry to find that e haa not yet recovered from hia late ac cident—not being able to walk without the use of crutches.” Turkey and Russia.—The relation? between these two powers appears to ba upon the Peace establishment, according to the latest accounts from the Continent. The London Courier of the 7th Jjone, however, attempts to ridicule the predic tions of the Morning Chronicle upnn the subject, and founds its doubtB upon the cautious manner in which the King of France, in his late speech, merely ex presses a hope upon the subject, - It would be amusing,” says the Cou rier, •• if the pacific news ofthe Chronicle should prove as premature as his belliger ent intelligence was. We merely suggest this in consequence of the somewhat re markable language employed by the king of France’s Miuisters in the speech which we yesterday published. In that speqich not the most distant allusion is made to the evacuation of Moldavia and Walla- chia, but simply the same hope is expres sed that peace will be preserved, as wua indulged in by his Majesty at the open ing of the last Session of the Chambers^ There may be nothing in this beyond the prudent reserve of diplomacy ; but it is a fair ground of presumption that there yet remains something for negociation to per form.” London June 8.—We received thi Paris dapersof Wednesday last night by express. The news of a great naval victory by the Greeks over the Captain Pacha is con* fidently stated in accounts from various quarters. A letter from Augsburgh. of the 29th ult. states that " the Greek fleet has decidedly obtsined an important vic tory over the Captain Pacha, whose fleet was destroyed in part. We expect with, impatience further details respecting an event which, uuder present circumstance* is of the highest interest. The Captain Pacha has re entered the Dardanelles with the wreck of his fleet.” A letter from Odessa, of the 12th of May, alludes also to this engagement. We have elsewhere spofcrn ofthe trans actions at Constantinople, A letter from Stuttgard, in the Constitutionel, of the 30th May, says— " Notwithstanding all the pacific news of -Viifnna, we do not believe here in a speedy re-establishment of direct commu nications between Russia and the Portqt nor even in the maintenance of peace. There are motives for doubting much the sincerity of Borne of the Turkish Mioistei A in the dispositions which have been an nounced for some time. The entire eva cuations of Moldavia and V.'allachia is also doubted. It is indeed said that a momentary success has been gained by the party of Lord Straogford; intrigueB ofthe seraglio have been put in action, with res pect to which we are promised details; and other news are announced aa likely to transpire soon, probably of the ntmost importance.” The Quotidienne, in a letter from Irun of the 80th May, says, with reference to Gen. Berton, that he is about to repair to Tolosa or Vittoria, that M it is not trow that he thinks of repairing to Gibraltar, he knows too well there is no safe asy lum for traitors under the Agents of the English Government.” We wish we could say the opinion was confined ta 'French Ultras, that the English Govern ment identified itself with all that is admi rable on the Continent. But the most important article in theafs papers is the Message ol the Spanish Cortes to King Ferdinand on tho elate of the country. In this production the Cor tes paint, in live|y colours, the calamitoa* efforts of the King’s own party to deprive the people of the benefits of the Constitu tion ; they complain loudly of appoint ments which he has made, of wicked and worthless men, to the command of pro vinces, who have been guilty of all man ner of enormities, and they call on him, in language not to be mistaken, to concur honestly with the Cortea in carrying the constitution into effect. June 9.—Important advicos as regards the final adjustment ofthe difierences be tween Turkey and Russia, were received yesterday from Vienna. Theyare dated so recently as the 1st ult, Most persod* possessing good information have, foe some time past, been persuaded that all would end peaceably; but the public at large, who uniformly doubt till all is de cided, are still looking with considerable anxiety to the close of the scene. We now learn that M. de TatischefT, whose former mission to Vienna eibited so much attention, has returned to that capital, with unqualified assurances of the dispo sition of the Emperor Alexander to pre serve peace, and his consent to attend in person the approaching Congreas at Florence, for which M. de TatischefT is empowered to make arrangements. Short of an actual declaration on the part ot (he Emperor, we consider this intelligence the moat decisive and satisfactory that could be made public.—Englishman. The news from Vienna has had a favors able effect on the funds, which, after hav- ing continued perfectly steady for a'Jo^
