On our :ipproachin2; his j’osidence, we met an ac;ed man in a carrin_;;e, who howeil as ])assod, but we !iad no ide^ at t!ic lime, thnt it was Mr. Adams. On our arrival at tlic house, we wi-re very cor dially received by ids son, .hutge 'I’honi- as B.

T!ie Lnglish brig Britannia, Neale, which loaded at Lnos wilh provi.-^ions for the Turks in the Morea, has been car ried into Napo'i! di Romania by the tiiveks, and lier cargo conue:iined.—The I jigiish Consul relused to inieriere in her bchair.

'I'he Jounud iles Debats gives out that Spain is raising her pro vincial militia—lhal Frar.ce is f >rming a camp at the foot of the Ryreiinees—that England is strengthening h'erscif on the Tagus—and that such great jin parations liave for iheir object the recognition ol South-America. These papers have no regard to trtitli—what they desire is war -omcv here, but we can assure tlieir rea ders, that the political horizon never pi-e- sented an aspect so calm as at jueseiit, and so many jdedges of its continuance. Fhe camps of Bayonne and Perpignan are but cawps of exercise-The S’paniards ha\e collected no troops but fur lh«‘ Fer- rol expedition—and the English station on the 'I'agus has not been reinforced.

Horse Itacing.—The New "V'crk Gazette states that a match has been determined upon between a horse from that state and one from the southward for 2u,0i)u Uol- lars a side ; the race lo lake place in six weeks, on the Bath course. NV hen ih^ slakes amount to such a sum, it b' conies we think, nearly time for the adojuion of measures to prevent the practice. The morals of the community are of much more importance than the (piality of Uie horses ; and racing, we are strongly in clined to ihink, is not a very certain mode of improving the breed. Del.
