papers to the 3d ult. have

following arc the principal ex
tracts jriven:
The bill for the suppression of
dangerous associations passed the
House of Lords on the 24th of
February. The election of a
member of Parliament from Ox
ford, in the room of Air. Peel, who
had sent in bis resignation, had
taken place. Mr. Peel was again
a candidate, but did not succeed.
Sir Robert Inglis was returned by
a vote of 755 to GOD. Mr. Peel
will be returned from the borough
of Westbury, the present member,
Sir Manassch Masseh Lopez, ha
ving resigned in his favor. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer, on
the 27th of February, stated that
on the 5th of March the Cabinet
would make an exposition of the
nature of the measures to be pro
posed for the removal of the Cath
olic disabilities.
A Vienna article of the 5th of
February, says that the news of
the death of Pope Leo the 12th
bad arrived there on that day.
The John Bull of March 1st
says, "The present state of the
Spitalfield weavers by far exceeds
any former extremity of a similar
nature, in depth and extent of dis
tress." Paris, Feb. 25. We arc in
formed, says the Constitutionncl,
that an ofFensive and defensive al
liance between Russia and Prus
sia is definitely concluded; it is ad
ded, that another Great Power,
solicited to maintain an armed
neutrality with 100,000 men, has
acceded to this proposition. It is
also reported, that the army of
the Morea, under the command of
Marshal Maison, is to be increas
ed to 25,000. This display of
strength may enable him to re
store Greece to her ancient limits,
comprehending Attica, Beotia,
Thessaly, and Epirus. The
news may serve to explain to us
the irascible tone of the agents of
Great Britain against what they
call Russia and her adherents.
That might still give us the tone
of the military movements which
are now going on in Piedmont.
Russia and Turkey. At docs
not appear that cither Prussia,
Austria, England or France, sin"
ly or united, can effect peace be
tween Russia and Turkey. With
respect to the Allies, Lord Abcr- j
deen, Prince Polignac, and Prince
Lieven, signed, on the 10th of
November, a document confining
the Republic of Greece to the Mo
rea, and the Cyclndes. Russia
has left about 25,000 men to the
South of the Danube, of which
12,000 arc shut up in Varna, and
the remainder have to contend
with about 50,000 of the best
Turkish troops still in the field,
and which, in spite of the weather,
continue their harrassing attacks
and demonstrations.
Berlin, Feb. The exchange
of couriers between Berlin and
Paris, London, Vicnnaand St. Pe
tersburg has for some time past
been extremely active.
According to letters of the 23d
ult. from Vienna, the sole object

of the count de Matuschwiez's
journey to London is to declare
to the British cabinet, that unless
the Porte open the free navigation
of the Black Sea and consent to
pay large indemnities for the ex
penses of the war, Russia will not
accept the mediation of any pow
er to treat for peace; and that she
is fully prepared to resume hos
tilities with greater vigor than
ever. The Court of Vienna, it is
added, has received a communica
tion to that effect.
German papers of the 8th state
that the Duchy of Brunswick had
been thrown into a consternation
by a decree from the Dukc,order
ing "a general arming of the coun
try, which includes all the male
population from the age of 18 to

attack on Hanover.

Mr. Clay and Mr. Jldams. We
are now compelled to give precedence
to Mr. Clay in the arrangement of these
worthies, botli of whom are givinc une
quivocal demonstrations of their future
political course. Mr. Adams, it appears,
bears in mind the adage, that "one good
turn deserves another" the people
have "palsied" the turn of Mr. Clay in
his favor, and the vc-turn of Mr. Adams
is now developing itself. Mr. Clay is
endeavoring to spout himself rnto lhe
good graces of the people, and aided by
the pen of Mr. Adams is doubtless san
iruine of success. Wc have riven seve
ral passages from the recent public
speeches of Mr. Clay our readers are
now presented with a political e3say in
his favor, from the pen of Mr. Adams,
embraced in a reply to a comnlimenla-
ry letter from sundry citizens of New
Jersey, as follows:
"The other (Henry Clay") is
equally worthy of the honor in
his retirement from office; and
Mr. Adams has written an answer
and a very well written document
it is, as to style and manner Mr.
Adams defends his administration
in modest terms, and gives a Li
ographical sketch of the charac
ters of the men composing his ca
binet. As thev were of his own
selecting, it may be inferred that
the picture is highly colored it
is highly colored throughout no
one can recognise the glowing
intellectual and statesmen-like
portraits of Mr. Rush, Mr. Bnr.
bour, and Mr. Southard, as they
come from the pencil of Mr. Ad
ams. But let us suppose that all
their talent,industry, acquirements
public spirit, and public usefulness,
as claimed for them by the late
President, are true and merited,
how is it that the late administra
tion, under such able men, should
have been so full of error and of
difficulty; so devoid of public util
ity; and so decidedly unpopular
with the nation? The People or
Mr. Adams must be in error

A letter to the editors of the
Baltimore American, from an in
telligent resident correspondent
at Rio de Janerio, under date of
5th of February, notices a report
that the JMnperor ot Brazil had
determined to declare war against
Don Miguel of Portugal. The
same writer says that much activ
ity prevailed in the slave trade, in
anticipation of its entire prohibi
tion by Brazil in 1830. After
that period it would be regarded
as piracy by the government, and
there would then be no sales for
fast sailing vessels. A number of
slaves had been captured by the
British on the Coast of Africa.
Letters from Buenos Ayres to

state. No ,ale for merchandise
of any description. The curren

gain and corruption. Before you,
my fellow-citizens, in the presence
of your country and Heaven, I
pronounce that charge totally un
founded. This tribute of justice
is due from me to him, and I seize
with pleasure the opportunity af
forded me by your letter, of dis
charging the obligation.
Of my motives for tendering to
him the Department of State
when I did, let that man who
questions them come forward.
Let him look round among the
Statesmen and Legislators of this
nation and of that day. Let him
then select and name the man
whom, by his pre-eminent talents,
by his splendid services, by his ar
dent patriotism, by his all-embracing
public spirit, by his fervid el
oquence in behalf of the rights
and liberties of mankind, by his
long experience in ! he affairs of
the Union, foreign and domestic,
a President of the United States
intent only upon the honor and
welfare of his country, ought to
have preferred to Ilenry Clay.
Let him name the man, and then
judge you my fellow-citizens, of
my motives.
The New York Enqiiirer remarks as
follows on the letter of Mr. Adams:
A self-appointed committee in
New-Jersey, has written a compli
mentarv letter to Mr. Adams on
accompanied by a rentless spirit
of proscription and (fall these
things shall be done by secret, un
seen and irresponsible advisers"
why then it will be ill with us, and
Mr. Clay will be a sound patriot?
Truly "there is much virtue in an
IF!" a man may in this way go
on and make speeches without
end! But it is thus that Mr. Clay
gives a particular commentary on
his text that it should be "the wish
and aim of all to tranquilize socie
ty and to restore its harmony af
ter the decision of the majority has
been fairly pronounced."
"How infinitely superior (says
the Mercury) is the conduct of
Mr. Adams to all this, retiring to
private life," as he has done: And
how infinitely superior, and more
touching, was the conduct of Gen.
Jackson, on the 10th Feb. 1825.
when he declined the honors ofa
public dinner, offered him, two
days after his defeat, by his sym
pathising friends at Washington:

suggesting to you and my friend

my meaning. A decision of ft
matter, about which much public
feeling and concern have been
manifested, very lately has taken
place. Any evidence of kimlncs
and regard, such as you propose,

muring, and feelings of compla,nr
