FROM WASHINGTON’
I lately had the pleasure, (says a Cotres
potident of the Baltimore Republican) of
cplllng on the President, in company with
' a gentleman of great abilities, who is warm
ly devoted to “ the righteous cause.”
had not seen Gen. Jackson since'the time
of the Inauguration, and I. wag agreeably
surprised at the favourable.change which
bad taken place in his personal appearance.
At that time his health and spirits had been
oppressed by. the repent loss of the dearest,
of all earthly objects, and by the fatigues
ho bad undergone in the sti uggte -which
had crowned liim with the highest honors
this country can bestow. -.This temporary,
depression was like the stooping of the
mighty oak beneath the storm which pass
gs yyef it.-, It Jias been justly remarked
' that there is no condition so happy as that
of hint who leadS-a life of full and constant
om'plfl-ytnotvt! for this reason, the mental
exoilation consequent in tile labours of the’
Preaidental office, preserved his mind from
the. recurience of melancholy' recollect
ions, and from the, physical weakness which
the indulgence of grief engenders. We
wero'recoived by his Excellency in that
courteous but unpretending manner which
benefits a republican chief j.and although,
when 1 was first ushered, into his presence!
my mind was involuntarily impressed with
that admiration, not unmingied with'awe,
- which was experienced by Cyneas. when
he was introduced into the Roman Senate,
yet-soon the friendliness and unaffected
simplicity of-ltis manner, left room for no
other feeling bht attachment for the emi
nently popular personage who enterwine'd
us, and wo wore subjected to no other ros-
traint than that which overy ono must feel
in the presence ol honoured ago nnd exalt
ed station,E. '
Malt unnecessary clamour- has been
made in the opposition prints about the re
cent Circular of tho Postmaster General,
tile regulations of which aro represented ns
of the most oppressive nod vexatious char
acter. Without claiming a peculiar in
sight into State secrets, I can venture to
state that Air. Barry has not acted in this
business without mature consideration.—
There is no department which i.ri'ils vari
ous ramifications, requires more persever
ing vigilance than that- of the Post Office,
for there-is none In which greater tempta
tions arc-prcscntcd of Committing defalca
tion's of a nature that destroys all confi
dence in a commercial community t for
this reason the Postmaster should regard
nothing which has a bearing in so import-
,aut a concern as beneath Ills notice, and
should have a careful eye In the minutest
line of the extensive network of which he
is the centre, like the spider Watching, with
trembling anxiety the focit distant ratttifl
cation ofitsAno spun wobl In one of tho
anti-administration papers, I observe a
great deal of puling humbug, about the
charge of postage on printed sheets, Stc.
and the writer forthwith dfnwx a compari
son very much in favor of the English Post
Office, by a regulation of which piooftfof
works preparing for the pres* ate allowed
to ha sent to tile authors free of postage.
Let it be remembeiod, however, that in
England, authorship is- a profession as
■nuchas Law, Medicitflf or Divinity, and
ndon being the general literary
" " any standing is pub-
ittrse, writers who re-
side at a distance, could not corrert theii
proof-sheets, and of course could not su
perintend the publication Of their works
witliQiit-somO-such-regulation as the one
.alluded to. But in our young country
there is no such thing as Authorship by
Profession; for .it isevident'thatno Amer
ican writer of books, unless pitotedlritd no
lice by British Reviews, can find literature
a source of sufficient emolument to live by
it, and of course no one, unless he is some
what moan-struck, would attempt td ern-
liaAk-his hopes of subsistence exclusively
on so uncertain a trade as Authorship. \V.
Irving, ami Cooper were scarcely noticed,
and were suffered to pino in obscurity and
want, until the repUblicatlon of their wot ks
in London; arid the praise's of the English
critics', first opened our.eyes to their mer
its. Let us then hear no more stuff about
charging postage in proof-sheets L hope,
less indeed must that cause be;"which is
supported by arguments to utterfy ground
less arid childish!

with mingled feelings of pleasure and pride,
to a spirited and appropriate address from
Miss Jones. Indeed, the sentiments, -Ian-

ticularly calculated to awaken in every

of regard and admiration. Capt. Max

CASE OF TOBIAS WATKINS.
On the opening of the Court this morn
ing, the consideration of the caso of Dr;
Watkins was resumed. The judgment of of t
the bench was delivered on the .motion of ' "
.thrf<tf. Slates' counsel, that tho Grand Ju
ry should bo instructed that tho facts char
ged in the Indictment, and found by them,
amounted to the offence of forgery. A
majority of the court, consisting of Judges
'Cranclinml Morsel), refused to instruct
the Grand Jury, as'prayed by the motion.
JudgeThruston dissented from lhaih, and
delivered a long' argument, in support of,
the ophiiun formed by him, that llm Court
waS'bound to give'the required instructions
in order to prevent a failure of public jus
tice by suffering the guilty to escape with
out atoning for hisnllence; lie observed,
in conclusion, “ that it is of the utmost
importance to the well _beinjfnf society,
that w hilst courts are protecting with jeal
ous cme the personal riglps of individuals
they forgot not their duty to,the people,
and the rights of the community'; and, ft-
nnlly, that as I am of Opinion, that theficts
and intents found- in tho indictment a-
mmintto thVcririt'e Of forgery at comnion
law, it is iucoinhent on ine, under the cir
cumstances of the case, and for the reasons
assigned above’, to toll the jury so, and that
they ought,' therefore, to givo validity to
their act, and sanction and vigor to'the

counsel for the V. States were willing lo
submit the question upon the demuriar, to
the decision of thb court without occupying
morc.of tlte public lime; but that propose
lion also was doolined. Air. Coxe, in a
long and elaborate argument, contended
that the ofifcnco xhatged, being an offence
against the U. States, tile party offemiing
could-not be considered amenable to «
State or other local tribunal; T He referred
in support of his argument, to thy question
sorepeatcdly discussed, of the respective
powers of the Federal and State govern
ments; and to the different.con tractions
put upon the 8th Station of the'lst article
of the Constitution," granting to Congress,
the power to provide for the general.wel
fare ; maintaining that the offence whatev
er it might he. was' not amenable to the
courts of the United States in this district,
nor by thecommon law to those of Alary-
land. This it will he seen is the same
ground of defence as that taken by*ljtc

The argument upon the demurrer, it.
expected, rvilf occupy a considerable por

sel for the United States, will reply.

From the Tilrkis/t Frontier, 1st May—
To the many reports which have been cir
culated here within a few slays, this may
now.be" ndrlcd, that the Turks have fallen
upon Rowarnn and Baltschik with a great
superiority of force,and in bath places have
put Russian garrisons to the- sword* ■ We
have not. yet hcoti nble to trace this report
to ait *itbentic source.—(Pr, Stztg.)
Cor.stantinople, April tb—T-lie Sultan
is about to remove lijs head quarters, with
the standard of the Prophet, from Pramis
Tschiflik to Harabuimt.-.Great numbers
of the troops have mnrchedjo that point,
Since the Snraskier in period took tho for
tifications qader his inspection, - Thn.rein-
forcements from Asia continue, ehdat pic-
sent they aye directing their course to thel
coasts of the Black !$ca, A part of the
regular Cavalry (i infantry stationed hern;
has gone to IncnDa. '
Since the 12th, several attacks hnve
been made by the Turks upon Sizopolis,
in which Hussein Pnch.i and his troops
have conducted themselves with great bra-
very,.hm without being able to overcome
tlie powerful rcsisfauCe of'.thc Russians.
To balance this failure, however, the ad
vnnee of tho Russinsis upon MUivrie, lias
been repulsed, nnd In making it they have
suffered a considerable loss. Of Intc.-.tlir-y
appear to be directing all their energics to
retain the poasessiori of Sizopolis, w hich is
on the coast oftlie Black .Sea, .about 100
mijcs.frqin.Constantinople..''
Alt tlje jnfotinalion from Erzerum (in
Asiatic Turkey) 'continues favorable, in
respect to the engagements.which have ta
ken place with the troops of Gen. Puske-
witch. A Russian corps of 4000 tnon has
attempted a landing at Trobisopd. [on the
Eastern coast p( the Black riea]."Eut after
an obstinafe conflict and much blood-shed
wore compelled to retire to their ships.
Several transports of the assailants were
captured. These important engagements,
and the greatest increase of the Turkisl
forces, cannot failto exert nq influence upJ
nnjlio decisions of the Court qf .Teheran.
There is no, positive news of ilia subso
quent movements of life peoplo in Persia,
but the Moslems appear to consider a breach
with Russia inevitable. Thus much is cer
tain, that the Circassiansi Curds nnd Las-
senes, stand by their arm's, and tho Khans
ofTartary have declared that they were
ready to march against "the Infidels. - '

Organs by Steam—A Mf, Schulze, of

200,000 feet of wind ncr hour. For a large
Cathedra] organ, the idea Isa good one.
The volume of wind th’n* Introduced, cunt
prodifee sounds more frill, clear and 'swel
ling than by manual Inborn.
Mr. Southey, in hls rccent work, says—
"Think for a moment what T.ondon, nay
what the svhnlp. of Great Britian, would lie,
if a general itisurfrictiqn wero to he excited.
Iimagine the infatuated nnd infnriated
wretches whom, not Spitnlfields, St. Gilo
and Pimlico nlonc.bnl all the bines, alleys, •
and cellars of the metropolis would pout
ontpn frightful] population, whose multi
tudes when gathered together might nl-
most exceed bffllof." Thelnvn flood from
a yaicano would he less destructive! than
the hordes whom the grent cities ntrd manu
facturing districts would vomit forth.”—
This is an awful and just imagination. A ,
metropolis of twelvo hundred'thousand
souls, nnd such a body of operatives as
those oftlie grent manufacturing towns, if
they do not actually threnjen. are always
capable of protecting the most terrible con
vulsions.
It is stated, that tho present ceremony ....
Europo and America-, of saluting the bride, '
is derived from the practico of the ancient
Romans, among whom the hnshand ana
his relations used to salute* the wife, Ip-, nf-

criminal with adultery.
