Mr. K. called; and after some preliminary jponvjrsation, he asked meif I would give ftim the author of “one of the people ” that appeared in the Savannah Republican of the 31st utt. to which I replied that I could not then give him an answer; as i wished 4lr*t to have an interview with the writer. iMr U. assented to this; and observed that he was in no hurry for the author—That he svnnld be contented if he received his name the com ae of next week. On the day following, at twelve o’clock, Mr. R. was informed that ( Had seen “one of the peo ple” ana him to meet me at five o’clock at which time 1 would communi cate ''ilh him in relation to the demand he had made of me the day previous.

To this Mr K. objected, and declar- -cd that he could not take the name with ftny conditions annexed to it. After this cleclaration I said to Mr R. that 1 would see‘ «.-e of the people again,” and give him a final .nswer the next day whether he wnutd allow his name to be given up with out conditions or not.

ANOTHER OF THE PEOPLE NORFOLK July 29, The U. S. Sch’r Jack all, Lieut, fcom'd t John H. Lee, last font Matanzas, 9 days passage, came in the Capes on Tuesday night at 8 o’clock, and anchored off Old Point Comfort yesterday at 2 o’clock P. M. bound up to Washington-City—Officers and crew in excellent health, in which re spect they have been so singularly favour erl as not to have had a sick man on board since she sailed from the United States. The Jackall has been cruising in the Gulph of Mexico for the last three months, and has not heard uf any acts of piracy committed on American vessels during that period. She sailer! from Alvarado on the 20th June, touched at Tampico, and ar rived at Thompson’s Island on the I3th inst At the time of her leaving Thomp son’s Island, (15th inst.) it was perfectly healthy, not s man being on the sick list. Left no vessels of any description at the, Island—Samuel Ayres, Esq. Collector of the Revenue at that Station, came home passenger in the Jackall. The Jackall took convoy from Matanzaa, and parted company with them the same night. The Terrier, Lieut. Com. Paine. was the only small vessel of the squadron emainmgon the West-India station, which was going in as the Jackall came, out of Matanzas. The U S. Ship John Mams, Captain Dallas, sailed from Hava*.a on the 16th inst. for Philadelphia—officers and crew all well. We do not learn any news relative to Mexican affairs by this arrival.

A great sensation exists iu this city in consequence of the account we published yesterday of the capture of the schooner Mercator, bv pir fc i e ».

Int. The Legislat ure of Mew York will, a- greeably to the summons of the Governor, commence Its extra Sessiou,at Albany, or Monday next. This eventjappears ;o cr*. ate great interest among the politicians < the country, from the avowed ubjict of tl ■ Governor.in converting the Legislatures the bsaring which it is supposed their pi - ceedings will have on the all-absorbi' question of the Presidential Election Vv ourselves do not participate largely in interest, from not being, perhaps, so stnr ly impressed with its importance,and the. fore we shall accompany this uotice of th. fact, which is given merely as an article of intelligence to our readers, with the single remark—that this extraordinary convoca tion of the Legielature of New York by the Governor, for the reasons which he has as signed for it, appears to us to be one of the strangest public acts of which we have any racollection. The Governor had, at the last regular Session, recommended fo the Legislature, the consideiation of an impor tant subject, (the mode of electi|g the Electors of President ot the U. States") and the Legislature, after a very motu*e and proti acted consideration of the matter,de cided that they would inoke no change, but let the mode of appointing Electors lemuTn the same as it had done, without variation, from the very origin of the government; and the Legislatofe then adjourned. This de cision wqp the more emphntir, as'it was made in the face of a noisy excitement a- gainst it, and in spite of great efforts to produce an opposite result. The Governor had then discharged his duty, and the Le gislature had performed theirs,as conscien tiously, no doubt, and with an i qual regard for the public good. But the Governor, lint satisfied, it seems, with this solemn decis ion of the co uidinateaml equally respon sible branch af the goverment, determines to reassemble the Legislature, at great ex pense to the State, and, at this season, great inconvenience to the membersi lor the purpose of ascertaining whether they were meirnest in their adherence to the old mode of elestion, or whether they had changed, or would change, their opinions on a question so deliberately decided by them only three or four months before. ib. Mr. Crawford.—We seed thu opinion some weeks ago, v •• gentle man was preferred by a majority of 4hi reaping and reflecting mep uf the count y, as the successor of the present venerable Chief of the nation. That opinion was not lightly giren; we should hold it criminal to hazard such a declaration without the strongest conviction of its truth. Since that opinion was expressed, we have closely examined all the indications of publib sen tiinent, which have come under our obser vation during this season of the year,which is most fruitful of Its expression, and we can now say, with increased coufidance if the sentiments expressed,individually and collectively, during the fostivitiys of the recent Anniversity, and by the public prints, may be taken as indicative of the popular will—that Win. H Crawford is the choice of a decided majority of those citizens who, by public service, or a grea ter attention to public men unci public af fairs, are best qualified to form a inst es timate of public character and of fitness for the exalted station of President of the U. S. We say 'his without doubt or hesi tation; yet without the remotest intention ofdisparagiog the bigb^laims and acknowl edged merits of the other distingui.hed citizens who stand forth as candidates for ♦hat important trust, so worthy of the most virtuuos ambition—ib. We should like to know whether the Postmaster General, in his miaVion to Al bany, in behalf of Messrs. Calhoun and Adams, has, like Edwards, received an ou - fit and salary; and, if not, at whose cost he travels. He went from \Vashington, we understand, in a new patent government coach, put in requisition for the occasion. tVash. Oax. Capt. Singer, of the brig Columbia, arfi ved at Philadelphia, says the Philadelpbid Gazette, reports that the day previous to « t sailing from St. Johns, there were five rates brough over by land by a guard of soldiers from Cubroho,a small port near the west end of theelsland The Governor had issued orders, tnat a launch well manned, should be fitted out of each port in the Is land immediately, to suppress Piracy, and that every hut within a mile of the coast, soouId be raized in less than eight days from the date of his proclamation. The Pirates taken and brought in are a part of the gang that infested the south side of Ihe Island and taken several vesrels, most of the crews of which have been murdered.
