    “In the whole of this Turkish affair, |
one of the most auspicious points is the 1
fact, that Mr. Tazewell never opened
his mouth on the illegality of the com
mission, while the treaty was under con
sideration in the Senate: hut no sooner
had Duff Green been elected printer,
than we find both he and Mr. Tyler ta
king open ground against the administra
tion. Was this silence assumed merely
to deceive the friends of Andrew Jackson,
and cheat them into the rc-election of
DuX Green? If it he so, it is a specimen
of shallow cunning, utterly at variance
with the high character to which Mr.
Tazewell sets up studied pretensions.
Every person who regards the honor
and dignity of the republic will re joice at
the termination of the present congress,
because it puts an end to intrigues, the
criminations and re-criminations, that
were the chief occupation of those who
fill the highest and most honorable oliices
in the government.
The state of the controversy that has
fallen out between the president and vice
president regarding the Seminole busi
ness, remains in statuet quo. The publi
cation of the latter gentleman lias been
followed, as our rcadeijg are already ap
prized, by the publication, in the United
States Telegruph, by Mr. Forsyth, of Mr.
Crawford’s letter to Mr Calhoun, men
'tioned in the pamphlet of the latter, as re
turned, which places Mr. Crawford in a
still more disagreeable light, both by the
very abusive language in which it is
couched, and the numerous palpable er
rors it contains, by a subsequent publica
tion from Mr. Calhoun throwing stiil far
ther and more conclusive light on the sub
ject; by a brief note from Mr. Van Buren
disclaiming any agency in the matter, or
any motive or desire to injure Mr. Cal
houn; by a publication from James A.
Hamilton, who seems to have been a very
active participator in the affair, disavow
ing enmity towards Mr. Calhoun, and en
deavoring to shew that lie was not acting
against Mr. Calhoun, but Seeking to set
tle the personal difference between Goner
al Jackson and Mr. Crawford; though he
had before stated to Mr. Calhoun, that
bis object was to prepare evidence against
an anticipated attack on General Jack
son, in relation to the Seminole war: and
by some strictures in the United States
Telegraph, which seem to speak in be
half of the vice-president, in which it is
asserted that the personal differences be
tween Mr. Crawford and General Jack
son had been settled previously to the
time when Mr. Hamilton was apparently
endeavoring to effect that object. Thus
the matter rests, at present, although
there are indications that further disclo
sures are forthcoming. The Richmond
Enquirer intimates that publication, pro
fessing to he a clue to the correspondence
will soon appear at Washington. Every
friend of the administration will join with
that discreet print in the opinion that "no
good can possibly come of it."
As for the members of congress, when
they shall go home to their constituents
and be asked what they have done, they
must be “speechless.” They have, it is
true tried Judge Peck; they have permit
ted him to escape, although he violated
the dearest rights of freemen, by restrain
ing personal liberty and the liberty
of the press; it is 'rue that the man
agers made able orations against him;
but it is also true that all the members of
the house attended to bear them. The
recent session, —nay, the congress—will
be remembered for little else than idle
debating. It is to be hoped that their
successors will form a workingmen's par
ty.—N. O. Courier.
The melting of lead at the mines on
the Mississippi, has greatly decreased du
ring the last year—the total amount made
was 8,302,053 pounds, being littler over
half the amount of the previous year. The
market appears to have been completely
overstocked from these mines. The im
portation of foreign lead has ceased, and
nearly one and a half million of pounds
have been exported.
Mclancholly Casualty. —On Monday
afternoon last, Mr. Alexander Smith, of
Jasper county, was drowned in attempt
ing to ford a small creek, on his way
home from the village of Monticello. It
appears, that Mr. S. had been in the vil
lage most of the day, indulging freely in
intoxicating liquors, and it is presumed
that he fell from his horse into the creek,
(which was unusually swollen by the rains
ofthatday,) and was unable to extricate
himself. The crock at the ford was wide
bat scarcely knee deep. A coroners in
quest was held over the bodv—verdict ac
cidental death by drowning. Mr. Smith
'vas between 50 and 60years of age.

The Legislature of Massachusetts hav<*
passed an act which provides that no alien
shall be allowed to land from any vessel
whatever, until the master shall have paid
five dollars to the town or city at which
the vessel shall have arrived. Being not
only an interference with our intercourse
with foreign nations but occasionally witli
the other states, it is certainly unconstitu
tional. W hat will Mr. Webster say to it.
It is said that shoemakers form the

The Crosiiy Roiiiu ry.— The Salem
fygurtej- leurus tbut letters, ns well as
\ verbal accounts liave been received from
Nantucket, stating that Geougf. Crosby,
the person whose alleged robbery has for
several months agitated the community,
has absconded from that island under
circumstances which will remove all doubt,
il any remained, that the reported robbery
was a vile imposition upon the public.
'l'he Boston Traveller remarks—“We
ar- not surprised at all at this result, We
were informed on good authority, at the
time Crosby remained in Salem, that his
physicians discredited his story altogether,
and discovered no wound on his body that
was much bi-j-oml skin deep, or that lie
could not himself have easily' inflicted with
a penknife.”
It is announced in the New-York Cou

Kingston, Jamaica. Miss W. spent the

She was at Paris during le grand semaine

TO THE PUBLIC.
The undersigned is impelled by a
sense of duty to lay the following be
fore the public.
More than a year ago, a sign board
was stolen from the Federal Road at
the fork on the west side, near the town
of Knoxville, Crawford county, Geo.
which road to this moment remains
without its necessary direction . Alter
this board was stolen, another was pla
ced up on the right hand, called Hicks's
Road, with these words painted thereon;
“Alabama road by Hicks’s Ferry, the
NEAREST AND BEST WAY.”
The trouble and vexation, w r hich tliffe
misleading Hoard causes amongst the
moving people is almost indescribable.
Between the board and Flint River, ev
ery convenient pathway and track, be
sides new ones opened, were cut up in
going from this troublesome road to the
one they had left. Strangers arriving
at these forks, and reading this friendly
advice on the right hand, would of
course take that Rond; even those, who
had before travelled the Federal Road,
might have been induced to believe
from these fair words, that Hicks hail
actually discovered a more direct way
to Alabama. They could not noi was
it for them "ven to think, thatany tiling
in human shape could be so dead to a
sense of honor, as to have placed any
ti.ing up at the fork of a road that might
still serve to increase their troubles.
They little expected that the inscription
on the board was a palpable lie, &. that
the object in placing it up was a pittance
of earthly gain.
Here follows a description of these
roads. The left is the Federal Road,
and is universally known to be the Ala
bama road, and great mail route from
the Federal City to Orleans. This road
was cut out many years since by the
troops of the United States, under the
superintendence of Gen. Wade Hamp
ton of South Carolina, w’ho stated to
me, that the greatest possible care had
been taken to run it to every advantage,
and that it was perfectlv direct. The
right hand, called Hicks’s Road, was
cut out about three years ago, the ob
ject of which W'as to make money at
the before named Ferry, three miles to
the right of the Federal Road.
This well recommended road is ob
structed with a number of enormous
hills, besides several creeks that are of
ten ponded ui» with hack water from
the river, to the depth of swimming, and
one of which is sometimes 12 or 15 feet
deep, and only subsides with the fill! of
the river On the other side of the Fer
i y there is several lofty hills, the great
est of which begins at the river, and
would appear almost impassable with a
heavy burthen.
After leaving this hill, there is a piece
of boggy ground to pass over, snd four
or fiv* hills, and then the rood forks
the right hand leads to Talbott,on, and
the left which is barely worthy the name
of a road, winds rather a south course
and intersects the Federal Road.
Near the junction of these, another
road takes off to Talbotton. which is
by fnc, the most direct way from Knox
ville Geo to that town. Any informa
tion leading to the discovery of the per
son stealing the board from the left hand
fork, known as the Federal Road, and
also of the person placing up the mis
leading hoard on the right, known as
Hick's Road will be thankfnllv received.

From the Commercial Advertiser.
New-York, April 2—2 o’ci.ock.
We stop the press to announce the ar
rival of the packet ship France, from
Havre, whence she sailed on the 13th of
February.
We have our files ro the I ltli. A Hav
re paper of that date says, that a tele
graphic communication had been made
at Lyons, that a serious REVOLUTION
HAD BROKENOUT IN ITALY: that
Reggio, Bologna, and Modena, had been
overthrown, & that the Duke of Modena
had been killed.
The Captain of the packet, who arri
ved at Havre two days after the date of
our papers, says the news was confirmed
previous to his departure.
The Deputies of the Belgian Congress
had had a solemn audience with Louis
Philip, and read to him the proceedings
of tin* National Congress offering the
Crown of Belgium to the Duke de Ne
mours. The answer was, it is said, a
refusal, accompanied however, with
very llatti ring excuses. Anew ar
rangement, by which the Prince Charles
of Naples should receive thiacrowo is spo
ken of, in which ease Jic would marry the
Princess Mary, daughter of Louis Philip.
This Prince is a nephew of the King of
the French.
Poland.—The Polish Diet hav e issued
a long answer to the proclamation of
General Count DicLitsch, which is a spir
ited document, and which concludes as
follows: “The Polish nation, united in its
Diet, declares, that for the future, it con
stitutes an independent people, winch has
the right to confer the Polish crown upon
him whom it shall deem worthy of it; upon
him whom it shall judge capable of obser
ving faithfully the principles which he
shell have sworn to, and of preserving un
touched the National Liberties.” The
declaration was signed unanimously by
the members of the Diet.
The Polish Diet, by a vote ofß3 to 13,
had placed the Executive power in u Com
mission of Five Members, compost and of
Adam Czartoremshi, Pressident; V incent
ilenjowski, The mas Morauski, Stan,
Jluzzykowski, and Joackhim JLelewel.
The New Poland newspaper complains
that one tv 'y of these had a part in the
late Revolution.
The intelligence from Vienna is that
every thing in that capital is on the foot
ing of war, especially against Poland,
which is threatened w ith invasion it once
from Russia, Austria, and Prussia.—
Prince Metternich is in close connexion
with the Duke of Month*!, who, howev
er, is watched closely by Marshal Maison.
On the other hand, the news from
Constantinople by the way of Naples is,
that the Grand Turk means to take ad
vantage of the embarrassments of the
Russians to withdraw from complying
with the late treaty. The greater part
of the Pachas of Asia are ordered to he
ready for service in May. The
activity prevails in the Divan. Agas
have been sent on missions to Albania,
Servia, and Bosnia: finally the Stilton,
it is said, is endeavoring to induce the
Persians to act, so as to give employment
to the Russians on that frontier.
Cardinal Capellari had been elected
Pope.
