-.mm. 2?I|C ClXAniiOTTIl TUESDAY, JULY 24, lb27. We publish this week a letter I'rom Gen. Jackson to Carter Beverly, the wri ter ol the letter published in the Fayette ville Observer. It appears from (Jen. Jackson’b statement, that the proposition so much talked of, was made to him by a particular friend of his, who was very wiilinij to make a corrupt bargain, if by that means he could sccure the election of the General j yet the name of this friend is kept back by Gen. Jackson, arid the matter remains as it was before. But bis name must now be given up, so that he may be called upon for his authority to make the proposal which Gen. Jackson says he did make j it can then be ascer tained whether the proposition came from Mr. Clay’s friends, or whether it origi- raied with the; friends of the General. Il Iws been our belief, that if any thing of the kind did take place, it was confin ed to the General’s partizans ; and recent circumstances have tended to confirm us in this belief. Bu‘. the facts will soon be brought to light; and we have only to say, let justice be done. If Mr. Clay be proved guilty, we have not a word to say in his defence ; but if his innoccnce be established, asi we firmly believe it will, then let retributive justice be awarded to his calumniators. When we agreed to publish the com munication of “a subscriber,” introdu cing Gen. Jackson’s letter, we reserved to ourselves the right of making such re- inarks as we thought proper. This right we have exercised, and have thrown our comments to the form of notes. MR. CLAY AND GEN, JACKSON. We publish to-day, says the Baltimore Patriot, a letter from General Jackson, viih the forcible and appropriate re marks of the Wheeling Gazette upon it, published, no doubt, under the sanction of Mr. Clay himself, who was then on the spot on his way to his home in Kentucky. •—The general but reiterates the stale charge of “ bargain and sale,” as related to him by an informer, who had been “informed” upon the subject, and t’.ien, after having poured poison into his mind» lago like, recommends to the Hero to do the same thing he affects so much to de precate in others ! The chui-ge thus in- sidiouly and equivocally made, Mr. Clay now pronounces, as he has done repeat edly before in his public addresses, to be slanderous and infamously false, and challenges his calumniators to the proof. We venture to predict that this affair ■will place the General in a more unfor- lunate predicament than any of his for mer ‘‘committals” upon paper. Suicide.—W’e learn that .9fnd Macay, Ksq. of Salisbury, terminated his exist ence on Wednesday last, by taking a large dose of laudanum. Of the causc of this rash act, we are not informed. IC/^Saturday’s mail brought us but four or five papers. Subscribers to the National Intelligencer, Richmond W'hig, and Raleigh Register,(semi-weekly) were again disappointed. The U. S. Tele- j^raph and Richmond Enquirer came on as usual. I.uiu Cochrane as AJmirJ. He attended ou the following doV and took the oath. The appointment of Count John Capo D’lstria, President of the Greek Republic for five years, was ex pected to lake place immediately. A re solution appointing Gen. Church to the chit f command of the Army, was under consideration, and met with some oppo sition. On the 25th May, the Corn Bill was brought forwaril in the House of Lords. Lord Godericli (late Mr. Robinson) took the lead in the debate, and made a very clear and able speech. Lord Ellenho- rough and the Earl of Malmesbury oppo sed the bill; but it was ably supported by the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the motion for committing it to a committee of the whole, was carried by a majority of 57. The same day Sir Thomas Leth bridge, when on the supply bill, made another violent attack upon Mr. Canning and his administration—but to no pur pose. From the New York American. We have lying before us, the Message of Guadalupe Victoria, President of Mexico, pronounced at the close of the Session of Congress on 21st May last. It gives a summary of the external poli tical relations and interior condition of Mcxico. In speaking of foreign powers, Cireat Britain is first named ; great joy is expressed at the ratification of a treaty of amity, commerce and navigation wiih her—upon the return of which (says th( message) “she has promised us a Min ister Plenipotentiary—and at the same time, one named by his government, will enjoy that honoruable rank in the capital of the nation which exercises so great an influencT, over the destinies of Europe.” Of the United States the message merely says, that the treaty which had N-F.\rnr;t\*, junt c:i. St'duclton.the last term of Jones County Court, the case of Mallard vb. Foscoe came on for tri.il. it appeared in evidence that the defendant was upon terms ot intimacy with tiu* plaintiff’s family, and particularly attentive to his daughter, so much so as to induce her to believe that he intended marriage. His visits were repeated for seven or eight years ; when, having finally triumphed over lier affections, he became her sedu cer. The offspring (twins) of this guilty connection, and the wretched mother, were all, soon after the binh of the in fants, consigned to a premature grave, and this action was brought by the plain tiff lor damages. The exaniination of the testimony and the arguments of coun cil, consumed the whole day. The jury, atier an absence of a few minutes, brought in a verdict of ^jOO damages. The de fendant has taken an appeal to the Supe rior Court. \vor:e tl»an the pain carry with him to which nothing can efface.

Awar'? of his ilreadful and lingering situatioji, after taking this poisonous stuff, to free himself froni pain and the agonies of life, which he was then enduring, he preclptated himself into a well, tliirty feet in depth, and eleven leet water. Failing in accomplishing his design, and receiving no material injury Ironi the (all, he again ascended from the well without any assistance, procured a razor, with which he cut his throat most shockingly; but being discovered in the act, the razor was immedia:ely torn out ot his hands. Mr. Duryea lived about thirty hours after taking the sulphuric a':id. It is said by those who attended him, tliat the wound which he inllicied with the razor was not fatal, and that his been concluded between the two countries i death was occasioned by the previous at- had been ratified, with some modifica-1 tempt.—We understand he was, for a tions and alterations, by tlie Senate ol lfew days before he committed the act, the Union—which alterations, would re- insane.

Jackson had accepted an invitation tendered to him by that bo dy to join in a celebration on the 8th of January, 1828, the writer says, “ the reso lution was supported by the \varm friends of the Administration, and could not have been adopted without their support, there being only twenty-five Jacksonites, in both houses, out of sixty-sevcn mem bers.” trhitefield's S^ogucnee.'^-HlcuViiip; tltt account givt n by l3r.

This gentleman was noted for his parsi mony, and had several times reproved the students for attending Whiiefield’s preaching. One da* he yielded to a re- (juest of another officer. There was a collection made for some asylum at the south, and Flynt, being transported by his eloquence, unconsciously drew from is ))ockel a bill, and dropp»d it in the box. He invited his friend back to lake tea with him, and on the way scarcely (►pened his mouth. As soon as Flyni entered the room, one of the students, who boar.led with him, asked how h« liked Mr. W'bite field “Like him,” re plied Flynt, “why the dog has robbed me of a five pound noie.” [^Salcm Obterver.

The delay of the meeting of the Con gress of Tacubaya, is accounted for from natural causes. W’e have it from the best authority, that the reports of M(^xi- co being opposed to the appointment of representatives to this Congress, or of being unfriendly to the contemplated con ferences, is incorrect. 'I'he truih is, the Ministers of Central America, Peru and Colombia, returned to their respective countries with certain Treaties agreed upon at Panama, to obtain ihe ratifica tion of the same by their governments.— These treaties were said to be altoge ther of a local character, containing no ob- jetionable stipulations ; but the agitated slate in which those three countries have been placed since the period of the Pa nama Congress, has to this time preven ted them from being considered and rati fied.

He was the only representative of the Emperor of Brazil at the court of Lisbon, and a strong triend of the Constitution. The circum stances of his decease were so singular, as to excite reports of his having l)een poisoned.

The horse, in the absence of the phjsi- cian, moved deliberately onward, and stopped at the d*oor of a neighboring house. It happened that the master of this house with his lady, were about com mencing a journey, and were then ex pecting the arrival of achaise, which they liad hired for the occasioti. Seeing one at the door, they had their baggage lashed on, and, without suspecting any mistake, set off upon their lour. The doctor soon after missed bis equipage, and after due search and diligent inquiry, for a number ct days, gave up all further effort as hopeless, not a little astonishing at this most mysterious disappearance of his property. In due time the travel- lers returned ; and on sending the horse and chaise to the stable from which they presumed it came, the whole mystery was speedily solved. It is said thallliis arrangement proved equally annoying to both parties. The doctor suffered nuich from being o!)liged to \isit his patients on foot, and the travellers were not a lit tle out of humour with the stable-keeper for sending them.as they sup|)osed,an ani mal rt hose qualities Jiowever su perior they nicy have been to tliose of ius master,) were not ol iDe very first ordi-r.

Mr. B. has invented a ve ry ingenious,and accurate machine, by which he is able to complete the survey of a line of road 25 or 30 miles long, in a day, giving the distances, course and profile with wonderful facility ; and in consequence of the success of his cxperi ments he has been engaged by the Dr partment. , Heretofore it has been found necessary to employ five men a day, on a distance of about 8 or 0 miles, while he recjuircs but a single assistant. The revolution of a large wheel, 8 feet and 3 inches in circumference, by means of two small pinions and cog wheels pro perly graduated, moves a guide, which marks out a diagram, on a very reduced scale, upon a plate under the surveyor’s eye, it being required of him only that he should adjust the plate, at every an gle of the road, by a box compass con nected with the machine. The profile of the route is easily obtained by means of a graduated semi-circle, traversing on its centrc, and furnished with a spirit level; the angles, which are indicated by the scale, being noted in a field book The usefulness of this ingenious combin ation will be njipreciated by every one ca pablc of comprehending iis principles. N. V. Dady Mu. A lady in the.North of Devon has sent us the following strange account of a sup posed visit from Old Nick :—“ A curious occurrence »ook place in this neighbor hood a short time ago. A j)oney, be longing to a young lady, was lound evei morning in a miserable state, dirty and tired. As it was supposed to have bet taken out of the field for some nightly excursion, a person was placed to watch the field, and soon as night set in, he ob served, by the light of the moon, a black hairy monster mler the tield and leaj> ;ti the bark of the poney, wliicli immedi ately bounded away, and galloped round tl)e enclosure with greaf impetuosity. Fancying the rider to be an agent of his Satanic Majesty, if not the sable Monarcli dm i.’iftrn in person, the sentinel went oil' us fast as he could go lo procure some comrades, who speedily arrived at the field, and were eye-witnesses of the shag gy horseman’s equestrian fetes ; these in their turn yielded to fright and decamp ed. 'i'he next night some resolute fel lows stationed themselves in different parts of the field, and the black gentle man having recommenced his nocturnal airing, they closed in upon bun, and soon ascertained ibal the oppressor of the un fortunate poney was a large Baboon, which a is supposed had escajied from some wreck, atid being obliged Lo make itie woods liis solitary retreat in the day time, had recourst* to the horse-excrcise fiir recreation. .Some days previously the same -animal jump(;d on the Ijack ol a man w ho was going for a load of stones at six in the morning : and such is the poor frllow’s slate of mind, arising from excessive alarm, that be cannot l>e pre- \ui'ed on ’0 travel the same road again.” — i^zcier (JazettCT DIED, On the 16th inst.
