The public have already been informed,
that, at the August Court, an indictment
was preferred against the editor, at the
instance ef Mr. Carter Beverley, (author
of “ the Fayetteville letter,” kc. See.) for
charging Mr. B. with falsehood and mis
representation in his letter to Duff Green
of the 11th July.
This cause occupied two days at the
late [Nove.iiberj Court, and was decided
on the lOth inst. Ths defendant ofiered,
in jusfijicafton, proof of the truth of the
puhjication coin|dained of as libellous.
Jii !)ehalf of the Commomwealih, it v,as
cr.ntrncled, that it was t.ot comjietent for
the (h-l'endant to give such proof in justi-
iication. The argument upon this j)oint
was of considerable length and great
interest. Mr. Doddridge, for (herh'fi ri-
datit. niaintairied, that under the nrcuni-
Hiancts of tht}, case, it was comjjeieiii for
the deb ndant to prove the Uiiih of the

A member of the Tennessee Legisla
ture has introduced a resolution into that
body recommending it to the people of the
United Staies, to impeach Mr. Adams,
and remove him from ofiice. This is
really carrying the joke rather too far.
We should perhaps not say so if we could
believe him guilty of all the corruption
that has been charged on him ; but this
clamor about “ bargain, intrigue and
corruj^iion,” is pretty generally under
stood lo be mere political declamation,
got up for effect.—Tuscaloosa Sentinel.
In the Pensacola Gazette, we find the
following rather remarkable
Erratum. In our last we reported a
man as dead, who was only dead drunk ;
we beg his pardon fur the omission of ihe
laiter word, and at the same time congrat
ulate him that old May,* of yellew fever
memory, is not now our undertaker; if
he was, his man would surely have been
sewed up in a blanket and buried, befori:
the fumes of his liquor had evaporated.

Mnr.vfuctures.—The London Traveller
says—“It was slated last week that what
liilie had been done for foreign trafle,
WHS chiefly for Germany, Brazil, and
Ni>th America ; but that the demand
was subjiding. It appears, however,
tliat there is still some demand for
North America ; but not from houses to
whicti it is thought quite safe to make con-
sii;nmenis. It is fare for the market to
be in such a state of stagnation, as to
put an end to orders fi i^m our friend
Jonathan. During the last j)anic, there
were almost as many orders from the
United Slates as in better times; l)ut it
may be asserted, upon the authority of
two of the most eminent manufact
urers at Mancheiier, that not one in a
liundred of those orders was executed,
most of the ])ersons w ho received them
being either unwilling, in the then
stale of the commercial world to incur
the risk, or unable to obtain ihe mo
neyed assistance requisite for undertak
ing such orflers. Latterly confidence be
ing in a great measure restored, many
orders which in a |)eriod of depression
would-.have been rejected have been ex
ecuted—some say al great risk. As to
the merchants and manufacturers wlio
have shipped to Brazil, many of them
are so disgusted with tlie dishonesty and
bad success which they have experi
enced, that they talk of declining the
foreign trade altogether.”

Opposition papers (d’the result of the
liitc elecii'jiib in tlie State of Nc’V York.
New-York for Jacksou”—“ The Elec
tion Settled”—and the like ; and, by such
means, timid friends of the Administra
tion were alarmed.
Happily, however, for the cause d'
truih and good order, the moment for
the re-aciion has ar: ived. The election
returns being complete, and the names
of the new Assemnly published, an es
timate has been made ot ilie compara-
live strength of parties in the House of
Representatives,either from personal ac-
(]uaintance with the sentiments of the
individual, or from information deser
ving of credit. The result, as it has been
presented to us in the National Advo-
cate, is 55 for Adams, 40 for Jackson,
and 27 of whose course nothing certain
IS known.
On looking over this Fist wc find that
Broome county is put down as havin-
reiurned a Jackson Representative. The
following paragraph, however, from ilit
vMljany Advertiser, corrccls ihib opi
nion:
Vr,I.L DONE, DliOO.MF, COUNTY.
The following i« an extract of a h-tter from a
gi-ntleinau in liiiig-hanipton, to his friend in
Albany:
“ Our present member of Assembly, Mr. P.
|{()t)inson, liis bi-at the Jackson candidate,
(.lo.-'h. Whitlicy, lately a liigh minded federalist',
hyaniaiority of 754 votes. This little llroum

both candidates are Bucktuth ; in the contes*
tlie Morgan question did not afiVct cither, h’
the line h;td been drawn as close in relation

county of the State, very difKerent would have
been the result. 'I’he ides of next No\ ember
w ill find evcy man in his proper place, and at

Making this correction, the numbers
will stand—for Adams 59, Jackson 49»
doubtful 27. Dividing the doubtful mem'
berse(|ually between the two parlies, we
shall find a majority for the Adminislra.
lion.
One important point in the electiou
remains to l)e noticed. On all sides it is
admitted, tiiat, generally, throughout
the State, the elections did not turn ou
the Presidential (juesiion. The tickets
were—federal and republican—masoa*
and antimason—regular and self-nomin-.
ations—rail road and anti-rail road. Sec.,
—as local interests and considerations
pointed. This being the case, the great
majority of the Representatives are not
pledged to any particular course as re
gards national politics. They are not
enclosed in the net of Messrs. Van
Buren and Co. j but are left free lo act
according to iheir own views of things,
and the understood wishes of the people.
We rely on their intelligence and virtue {
and await the result without any appre
hension. We see sufficient in the late e-
leclions lo satisfy us that at the electoral
election, the cause of the Administration
will be sustained against the assaults of
conspiracy and intrigue.
