JEFFERSON. It will be seen hy an advertisement in this •days paper, that the annual commencement of Franklin College in this state will take place at Athens on the 4th of August next. A writer in the Richmond Enquirer, under the signature of'‘Corrector”makcs a serious charge against Mr. J Q. Adams. It is no less than that of having, when he went out as minister to St Fetcrsburgh, "covered the cargo 1 ’of a ship be longing to William Gray, Esq of lloston, which Was loaded with coffee laid in cheap, owing to the non-intercourse, ai (Isold dear, owing to the difficulty of access to the Baltic, by reason of orders of council. Should this charge be estab Hilied, it will implicate the Secretary ot State in the highest degree of criminality. We pre‘ some Mr Adams will find it nece-sary to reply to this charge immediately From the liostoii Ceutincl Civil Contett — There are now, in fact, but two candidate* for the Presidency:—Mr A lams and Mr Crawford; and what will be const.tend estr-inrdinary, almost the v hole of the fr-em.'S of Mr Crawford s: eak of Mr. Adams, as a suit sman of pre-e t.'metit talents, it- ivc sal in formation, and native uprightness, and that his course;,during the whole canvass, has been in dependent, manly, an free from even species of electioneering artifice <»n the other baud, the friends of Mr Adams have expressed the highest esteem for Mr Crawford, as a man of r-ir- ’abilivies. acknowle 'gert mo^oratn n, and ft • FeiTmgs; and give him the prelerenee o er ail ihe other cnndid-.tes save only Mr. Adam They have .sympathized witli his friends in his 1st. ill icss, rejoice in the prespi ct <>f the re covery of his health, a .d should lie, in Ids tour for the complete restoration of it, visit the pla ce-; -f their abode, will receive hin» with t -e hos pita ity ami sit- ntibn due to so distinguished a citizen and amiable man.

The Prorogation of Parliament was ex pectud to take place about the 2oth of fcoMMUJtrcATrn J From last Saturday’s Ge -rgian. «We consider now that there are but two par ties—The Edwards party and that of the Hepnb lic i t-wlio have ral’ied ro ind Mr Crawford— The point of orthodoxy with the former, will be a belief in the honestv of their leader or the corruption of Mr Crawford” The ab'-ve is the first part of a conclu ding paragraph of an article under the Edito rial head of the Georgian of Saturday last.- - M hat prescriptive rights the writer of this an cle has thus to denounce the whole of these United States and the different parties tha- inhabit them is to many a matter of great qu si ion—The wri er (whomsoever he may be) must be aware of the great division of public eei iments upon the Presidential question, and that many worthies of this country and of the Republican party, are not favorable to the elec tion of Mr. Crawford. The friends of General Jackson are numerous; nor less so are.the fi ie (Is of Mr Adams. Mr. Clay has many of the very best democrats in his favor, and -Mr. Cal hou-i is highly esteemed in his own s<ate for his Worth and talents, and his di mocracy has never been qu< slioned any where—I should like to kr i-w where the writer of the >eorgiaii article would place all the friends of these Gentlemen Who do nut approve of the conduct of Ninian Bdwar.-isf To what party d» they belong ! In a Government like ours—every individual is sup posed f o entertain an opinion of his own - -every one has of right the liberty of expressing his Opinions of men and measures—but no man has the right to denounce me as an anti-republi can, because I do not agree with him as to the qualifications of certain individuals— Further it savours more of Aristocracy than of Democracy —to say because you do not think Wm H. Craw- ford the most fit man for the Presidency, from among all the men in these U. States—you shall not be considered any longer a member of the great Republican family—No—you shall be con oioered as attached to whomsoever -we pleate, atid it we think proper we will attatch you to the party of Ninian Edwards, Jonathan Russell, or Aaron Burr—or any one else that is odious and detestable—Now I do not hesitate to object to this sw eeping amalgamation of the different par. ties in this country, by one dash of the per. of this Georgian writer I like to think for myself, and not be driven sind forced to think just as thi - writer would have me think-arid I like toliuv - the liberty of believing that Ninian Ed wauls i. From the Washington City Gazette. THE SUPPRESSED TES TIMONY. The reader may recollect that- we stated, whilst the final Investigation was pending in the case of Ninian Edwards, that certain testimony of Gen Noble, a Senator of the United States for the state of Indiana, Was suppressed by the Com mittee, at the instance of Mr. John W« Taylor, Having been suppressed it does riot, of course, appear among the Documents directed to be published by the Committee Part of this tes timony was actually taken down in writing, winch was afterwards destroyed by order of the C mmittee of Investigation. We have, howev er, been so fnrtimste as to procure, from an au iheinie. source, the part which w»» given in by Gen Noble and cancelled, and the part w hich he would have Riven in had. he been permitted to lo so For the truth oft he statement, as to the former, we appeal to the inemoers of the Com. niiiiee and to the several persons who were present and heard it; and for the truth of the stitement, as to the latter part, we are author ized 'o say that it came from Gen Noble htmself, a , indeed, it could c<m>- from none other. This testimony we now present to our readers, be low. To the late dinner ut Williamson’s Hotel Pre9- ident Monroe >vas invited Mr Crawford also, as well as the oilier" Secretaries, was asked to subscribe Almost to the last moment it was ex pected that the President might attend,as it was, moreover, thought that the Secretary of the Treasury might, at least, call in, if lie did not feel ■iinself sufficiently strong to remain through the whole of the festive scene Now, after having perused the following testimony, and with-a knowledge of Ninian Edwards’s conduct .awards Mr Cvawford, let the reader pay, had Messrs. Monroe and Crawford attended, with what propriety could Edwards have been there ? NV hat \v u'd have been trie feelings of the Pres ident a-id .Secretary of the Treasury, on seeing nueli a man seated at the same social board with them? This testimony, likewise, places Messrs. Mc Lean, Calhoun, and Adams, in a new point of view—as upholding dwards, whu had siiewu himself.« ruitor to his friend and patron, Mr vlonre; upholding, in fact, an ungrateful Crea ture, wh , at the moment the President wus pouring benefits upon his hea l, was exposing hia.self to Gen Noble Thus, respect for the President} ields to hntred of Mr Crawford; and, with the Holy Alliance, their tool, Edwards, is ti> be countenanced in any dirty work, even a- gainst Mr Monroe himself, provided it will fur ther the machiavelian scheme for the ruin of the Secretary of the Treasury But such is ever the process ol unprincipled ambition! > STATEMENT Of the Tesliittomy of Gen Noble Gen Noble, a Senator from the State of Indi ana, when sworn before the Committee of Inves ligation, appointed .in the Address of Ninian Edwards, sai l, •hcntiigedby Mr Edwards to relate the whole of their conversation— “ Well.ifynu insist upon it, I wili tell the whole, though 1 avoided it before, (as not being legal evidence in Hie case.) Y >n know very well that you told me, that you kne", fora year,til tyou were to get the upp lutinent to Mexico; that you were not afraid of M M nine; that he was .a bankrupt before c cam- into office; and that Col. Lane you. brother-in-law was a inem ber of the President's family, and had the di buisement ot large sum of public mo- n y; that Mr Monme knew there were no secrets among r. latinos; that George Hay was denounced in Richmond,and could not be elected to a constable’s office; and that he was a bad adviser: that the President was, if ieft to himself, a tolerable goud old man. ” You said, as to Calhoun, he was cun ning fellow, and was at your room two or three times a week”— £At this point thcCommittee interposed, at d no farther progress yvas made: and af •ersome convers >fion among themselves they -rdered the whole to be struck out of the deposition. This was on the 16th day of June. 1824 ] Memorandum of a Conversation with Gen eral JS'oble “June I9fh;i824, ,f This day in conversation wnb Gen Noble, a< his room, he told me that, in ad dition to. what he had,by Edwarcs’s impor tunity two or three days before, stated <o the Committee of Investigation, (but which was expunged from thei r record,) he meant to have stated that Edwards said he never had any fear of not being nominated, ex cept for a short time, whilst Pennsylvania appeared disposed to support Calhoun tor the Presidency ; then he bed some appre hension-of Dallas’s success: but the mo merit that slate gave up Calhoun, then lie had no longer any fears; as Dallas, he knew, would soon be out of tho question He (Edwards) s-iid that Calhoun had no »tbe> real obj-ctioo to Crawford for the Presidency than that, if a southern Presi dent were now elected his -.uccessor, eight years hence, ould certainly have to come f om tht northward; and of course, for Sixteen years o - ome, there would be no chance for him, Calhoun.” On the 31st of May, Mr Canning laid upon the table of the H use of Commons, copies of two commercial treaties, with ho governments Prus-ia and Sweden, Two Catholic petitions wore presented to the House of Lords. They contained some insinuations that the Duke of York was ’ho patron of the Oran emep. On account of some informality they were withdrawn. M< Brougham presented counter petition which was read. In the course of his remarks upon the petition Mr B. enforced his favorite doctrine,” that there is nothing so sacred in his eves,, as the rights of subjects to si«y what they like of kings, princes and ministers,” Another petition was also presented praying for the suppression of the Catholic Association. M Gouldburn gave notice that he should move the nexr day for the renewal of the insurrection act. The London Courier of June 1, says •* The question of 1he recognition of South American Independence continues most anxiously to occupy public attention, par ticularly in the city. We can venture t( state, that previously to, the close of the present session of Parliament, a communi cation will be made on this question to the House of Commons It is stated in the same paper that a ru mor was current, derived from Mexican advices, that the British were on their return from rumour i* declared to be unfounded. A paragronh from Berlin, May 23, af- iirinss that information has been received there, that Lord Byron completed his manuscript of Don Juan before he lef C-irrfui, and sen it to England He hud written to Gtethe, that he would pay him a vi«it at Weimar on his return from Greece.

His expected arrival gives rise many political conjectures. Some say that lie is tn enter the Ministry, others affi m that he is to be present at the approaching Congress, when the Sovereign* of the Holy Mliance a>e to deliberate itpersnn respec ting the affairs of South America and Greece. Gallignani’s Messenger «f May 29, says; the nioney market has been ven lull; notwithstanding the approach ofsei ling day. Thp Price of Stocks has exne- ienced a decline, which i« attributed to the fall in the English Funds, and the 'mi ce taimy of the decissiou of the Chambe of Peers relative to the reimbursment of the five per Cents.

Our Greek Committee acted unwisely in not purchasing that ship, armed with four 24 pounders, she would have raised the blockades of every port in the Morea, and from her great advantages and facilties, would have carried dismay into the Turk ish fleet, and every Humph would have echoed to American ingenuity and valour. N 'W the money is sent to England and thrown into the common chest, and the Greeks will never know who felt for them, and who extended aid ; but the steam ship armed, would have borne the Star Spangled Banner, the record of past valour and the herald of future success. About 815.000 more will complete the purchase, and if she makes her'appearence at Ispara, or Mis- solonghi. the Greeks will have her, if they have to pay 8200 000 for her. She is worth to them a w ole fleet.
