FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28,1827.
(jw consequence of the new ar
inirement of the northern mail, via Pe-
jersburir, which at present arrives at this
Vace three times a week, we have con-
I Hided to alter our day of j)uhlicalion to
Friday, on which day our paper will
hereafter be issued.
"i Merry Christ?nas." This being
he time devoted to "frolic, fun and
!;!ec," in conformity with immemoiial
usage, we lender to our patrons the com
pliments of the season.
Political Meetings. We have not
noticed in succession the meetings which
have been held
counties in this State, by the friends of
the Administration simply because we
felt assured, that they would only afford
an apt illustration of the "mountain in
labor." .From indications given at the
last Presidential election, we were until
recently under the impression, that in
two or three electoral districts Messrs.
Adams & Clay might nerhans n-pt a ma
jority of votes at Ihe ensuing election
but in those places which we thought
were the strong holds of the Administra
tion, unequivocal demonstrations have
lately been given that even there they
are in the minority. That a few of the
counties in this State may give a majori
ty of votes in favor of the Administra
tion, we are not prepared to deny but
we do not believe that its most ardent
admirers, who have any regard for their
veracity, would venture to assert that
there is the least possible chance for the
largest ships 650 inea were killed,
and in another, 400. They set
fire to their ships rather than sur
render them. Tho allied fleet
numbered 26 vessels, carrying
1260 guns, and the Turkish fleet
66 vessels, carrying 1718 guns
the former however had an advan
tage in weight of metal, and the
latter had the assistance of the
batteries on shorethe battle be
ing fought at anchor. The pa
pers abound in speculations on
the probable results of this des
tructive engagement some think
that it will lead to an immediate
cessation of hostilities, and an ac
knowledgment of the indepen
dence of Greece others predict
Mat it will lead to a renewal of
the sanguinary- scenes which for-
Administration to get the vote of thisj nierly marked the contests be
