As preut strcs'i appears sit this moment to be
I.iid u}>un crrtaln “Jackson Mecxln{js,” held in
the State of Ohio, we publish the following-
fXtract of a letter, from u pentleman of tliis
city, now on a tour of pleasure through the
■NVcstcrn States, as calculatcJ tothrrt^ some
lig;ht upon the subject. It is dated at Bti-tord
Springs, Pennsylvania, J«nc 1st.
“ Ohio is decidedly in favor of An^MS.
I travelled 300 miles in it, tukitjgit leis
urely, on horscback ; which afforded me
a favorable opportunity to ascertain the
scrniments of the people. At Cincinnati,
there is a Col. Mac, who keeps a lari^e
Hotel—he is a violent Jacksonite, and
v,ishes to make Iravclkrs believe the city
ji so. He has a register in his bar, w here
passengers record their names, and op
posite to mine, they put “Jackson;”
'.^'hich ^ave me the trouble to erane Sc substi-
txite. They had a Jackson meeiin,^ in St.
Clairsville, in Bcllmont county, whicl)
you may have seen puffed off in tho pa
pers :—well, I camc through tliere a day
or two after, and the truth is, they r.oiild
Tnijsier but 17 Jacksonites, in their “ nu-
vnerous and respectable meeting.’* In Steu-
?jenville, they had another, {^an account of
\?hich you will also probably sec,) and
;hcre too, they found it all up hill wojk.
In the whole county, they could assemble
but .35.
“I entered Pcnnslyvania at its South-
"West, and shall go out at its North-East
corncr, (350 miles)—Washington, Alle-
y.hai'y and Bedford counties, are warn) Tor
jviv. Adams; and Westmoreland and
.Somerset for Jackson—these are the
counties through which I have travelled;
in the course of which, I visited the
fovns of OlaysvUk^JacksonvUlCyJldamsburg^
and Randolph—the first named is quite a
ja'*ge town. Washington^ in Washington
( otinty, is as large as Wheeling, and there
are several extensive manufactories in it.
rvir. Clay is expected through this Suie,
and they are prejiaring to give him a
sjrand dinner at Pittsburg.”
The Opposition which is boasted of
being “ organized” against this Admin
istration, so far as it disregards measures
altogether, places its hostility on the as
sumption of the existence of a bargain or
intrigue connected with the late Presi
dential Election. Of any such bargain
we have expressed utter disbelief, from
the first moment that it vras charged a-
jjainst the President and the Secretary
of State. We thought, at the time, that
Mr, Clay’s vote was such as he could not
help giving without a forfeiture of all
character for political consistency, not
to speak of any personal feeling which
may or may not have entered into the
jnatter. The pretence of the existence
of such a bargain, however, has been
»>ravcly set up, and upon that ground the
Combinalion, which has also been boast
ed of, deiominatc the f)resenf Adminis
tration “ the Coalition.’^
If there was any improper understand
ing between these two high public offi-
t-eis, the evidence of it was the appoini-
r»ieiit of M:'. Clay to the office of Secre
tary of State. The barrier which the
C onstitution has erectcd against such
coc.litions is to be found in the jiower of
the Senate of the United States to control
Executive appointments. The a;)()oitit-
inent of Mr. Clay was the consummation
of the I'raud, bargain, or intriijue (had it
existed) which is now alleged as a reason
ibr oppoaition to the present Adminis
tration, right or wrong. If there was
evii.it nl wroiig in the appoiiitmcni, there
certainly collusion on the part of
those w.io gave it validity by conHrmiug
it. The Delaware Journal furnishes,
jus! now quite a-propoa^ a copy of the
k*e;is arid Nays on that appointment : at
which we confess we were surprised :
I'ur although .we published them at the
time, it was before any “conceniration
of sentiment” took place here, and ul
course yt'fore we thought of the alleged
'‘‘coalition” being made the ground of
opposition, much less of certain of our
friends enliiiing under that standard.
We Copy the Yeas, in the Senate, upon
the (juc'^.ttoa of confirming the nomina
tion, atu! submit them to ilie candid rea-
'-cr.

The i^acket ship Birmingham, Capt.
Cobb, arrived last eveiiing, bringing tlie
editors of the Commercial Advertiser
London papers to tlie btl., and Liverpool
papers to the 9th of May, all inclusive.
The King held a Court on the 50th of
April, at which lite Duke of Portland,
the Duke of Devon:»hire, the Marquis of
Anglesea, Lords Dudley and Ward, Ad
miral Sir Cieorge (>ockliurn, Sir Antho
ny Hart, and the Hon. William I^amb,
were sworn in Privv Councillors. The
following were sworn into oflice : The
Lord Chancellor, (Lyndliurst) the llight
Hon. Sturges Bourne, Lords Dudley and
Ward, the Miirquis of Angleseu, who
was also sworn in Lord Lieutenant of the
Tower.
'I'here is but little news from the Con
tinent ; and the London j>apers, iji addi-
lion to the Parlianientary reports, are
chii'fly fdled with political spec\i!ations,
many of which are as ci uiie as Editorial
speculations often ai e in other places.—
The Morning Herald, of Monday the
7th says, tliat, “in the political circles,
on Saturday, there were various surmises
as to the cause of Mr. Canning’s ab
sence fiom the House of Commons, on
the preceding evening; and there was
confident talk about an expose being a- i
bout to appear of the conversations, ?cc.
addressed to a distinguished personage,
which accelerated the late decided change.
It is avowed that the conflicts between
the Premier and the Ex-Ministers have,
as yet, hardly begun! This is hopeful
intelligence—if there be any truth in it.”
We have no doubt that Mr. Canning will
be compelled to meet a successi(jn of bit
ter attacks ; but no man is better able,
not only to repel them, but to turn the
weapon back on thC foe.
In the House of Commons on the 7th,
on a motion for a financial committee,
Mr. Canning staled, that he intended to
bring forward the state of the revenue
early the next session. But for the re
cent and extraordinary events, the subject
would have been immediately brought
up. Me hoped the Government would
not be considered as abandoning a duty
by avoiding this session as much as pos
sible, the agitation of all questions that
might disturb the public mind. On Fi i-
day he should bring forward the present
state of the finances, and there would be
an opportunity for those who wished to
display their loyalty, and anxiety for the
country, (as they did on Friday, by stop
ping all t.upplies,) to step forward.
The Globe says, ‘‘there appears great
haste in sending off the military to tJan-
ada. The Romney, :>0 gun ship, is or
dered off with the transports; three of
the latter were ordered off from Ports
mouth to Ireland in an hour’s notice to
take in troops at the Irish ports.” [A-
mong the passengers in the Birmingiiain,
is the Hon. Col. J. Ramsay, with des
patches from the British Government for
the Earl of Dalhousie, Governor of Can
ada, with which he immediately proceed
ed to Quebec. ]
Major Laing, the* intrepid traveller,
with his companions, have been killed in
the interior of Africa. I’hey had reach
ed Tinibuctoo, where they were received
in a friendly mannei', and on their way
from that city with an es.,un, were at
tacked by an unfriendly tribe,, anvl the
whole party strangled. It is said there
IS no hope uf rocoveritig Majoi Laing’s
papers. [Later accounts contradict this.l
Accounts from Portugal state that ev
ery thing was going on well. The prin
cipal persons among the Spanish Consti-
lutional emigtants had been ordered to
(juit Portugal, and several of them have
reiuined, or are about to return, to Eng
land. This measure has been ado[>ted in
consequence of the Spanisli (jovernmcnt
having complied with all the dcmai. s oi
the Court of Lisbon.
The French Government has formally
recognized the independence of Mexico,
and Col. Murphy, who had for some time
resided at Paris as an ageni of the Re
public, had been officially acknowledged
as Charge de Alfaires. I.,etters of cre
dence had in like manner been transmit
ted froni Pans to I\I. I\Iartin, now at
Mexico, to rcj)resent the French Govein-
ment there.

lition.” Mr. Brougliam, in the course
of his remarks, pai
pliment to Mr. Prel.
Mr. Cctiinlng ciosrd the debate in a tri
umphant speech, in which he vindicated
his cause with manliness, sincerity, and
decision. He reciprocatcd warmly the
expressions of Mr. Peel, and he declar
ed that w hen ihe occasion came for form
ing a new Ministry, he, (Mr. C.) advis
ed the King to form it on nnti-catholic
grcjvnds, tendering, at the same lime, his
own resignation; the King refused the
advice, and directed him to form an Ad
ministration on the same footitigof neu
trality. as to this question, as Lord Liv
erpool’s. That he attempted so to do,
but was measurably prevented by the
withdrawal of the Protestant portion of
the Cabinet, six of whose resignations
he received in the very bed room of the
King—among them, that of Lord Eldon :
that, in this embarrassment, he again ex
pressed to the King his desire that a Cab
inet might be formed without him, (Mr.
C.) if his being there was an obstacle :
that the King’s comnnands to him to go
on with the business weie decisive, and
that he had done so. He could not dis
guise, he said, that the Cij^tholic question
liad derived a “vast accession of force,”
by these events, but stdl that could noi
induce him (Mr. C'.) “to force it upon
the House, wiien so large a portion of the
community ajjpear opposed to it.”
In the House of Lon!i\ the .Marquis of
Lansdovvne, Lords (urosvenoi-, liuliand
and King, sat on the Miiiisterial l>enches.

The Diplomatic Circles at Brussels
have been much agitated by the discov
ery of some buspicioas gamfrling transac
tions in the “good society” of that city.
At the subscription club a Count
(one of the Foreign Ambassadors) after
losing for a whole season, begaTi all at
once to win with unirterrupied good luck.
Doubts of his honesty were entertained,
and at U-ngth he was publicly charged
wiih chraling. Ati'einpts were made to
search his pockets.—This however was
j>revefiled on the ground of hi,s official
sution. He was lecjuestcd not to come
a'^ain to the club. He persisted in doing
so, and stated that he had wiitten to his
CJovernnient foriettersof recall, inoider

ble, only in seven cases to disappointment

France, love turns the heads of six men
fur one woman.
Steam Navigation.—We learn, from
England, that our countryman, Perkins,
has succeeded in completing his improv
ed Engine, on his original principle, and
;s ready to contract for it on the follow
ing terms : his Engine will be but one-
tV,urth the weight, will occupy but one-
f'oiirth the space, be worked with half the
fuel, and cost one-third less than the first
qndity London made high pressure En-
gities. He asks for his remuneration an
ann'ul ( barge of one-third of the saving
of tlie fij'd tii it his plan will effect. 'I'his
Engine has been subjected to the scruti
ny of the most ,s>;ientific men, his patent
.i. completed and his triumph complete.
He is under contract with ihe French
fiovernnient to supply Steaii) Artillery.
Ilis experiments fur this j)nrpose W’ere
attended by a Komn)itt*'e of French En
gineers, the Duke of A.ngouleme, and the
Prificp Polignac. }iis pieres of Ordin
ance will throw sixty balls of four pnund.s
each in a minute, with the correciness of
a rifie musket, and a pound of coal will
produce ilte » H'ect of four jjounds of gun
powder. His nmsket will throw from
100 to 1000 balls iti a minute for any
length of time. The British (iovern-
ment have not yet made any contract wuh
him. He purposes to apply to this coun
try for a patent, but it is supposed the
terms of the patent law vrill prevent him.
Mr. Perkins has ascertained that the
safety valve in either a high or low pres
sure Engine, is of no use, if the water
be permitted to fall below the line where
the boiler becomes red hot, but he has
provided a remedy against accidents
fiom this source.
It is confidently expected that improv
ed steam vessels will ere long entirely sup
plant men of wur Raleigh Register.
Cotton.—It is stated that the consump
tion of raw cotton in France and Switzer
land in 1825, was 230,000 bales; in 1826,
2S0,000 bales. 'J'he present consumption
in the United States is supposed to be
from 175 to 200,000 bales; and if our
Domestic Manufactures continue to in
crease, as they have done for a few years
past, our consumption at home will soon
exceed France and Switzerland united.
This would serve to keep up the price of
couon. Rat. Register.
Piracy and Murder.—The brig Craw-
foid, Citpt. Brightman, of Troy, Mass.
bound from Matanzas for New. York, ar
rived in Hampton Roads, on Tuesday
night last. The captain, three of the
crew, and four passengers, had been mur
dered by four Spaniards (also passengers
ii\ the vessel) on the passage. The mate,
Mr. Dobson, and a F'rench gentleman
passenger, only escaped.
The assassins were provided with false
papers regularly prepared, which they
substituted for those of the Crawford,
with the intention of proceeding on a
voyage. The mate was saved on condi
tion of his navigating the vessel, and un
der pretence of having lost the way, he
run the brig into Hampton Roads, for
inforn’ation.
Finding himself detected, the leader
of the pirates cut his throat ; it was sup
posed from the papers his name was^Jl-
e.candcr Tardy. IIi^ three comrades man
aged to procure a boat, landed in the
neighborhood of .Mill-Creek, and escap
ed into the country, where a nunaber of
persons promptly turned out in pursuit
of them.
The following are among the persons
murdered Wm. Brigbtmiin (capt.),
Asa Bicknell, Joseph Doliver Potter,
and Nathan , seamati ; Mr. Norman
Robison, of Connecticut; and an Irish
man, name unknown.
A negro was recently found on board
the schooner La Bruce, Capt. Kmiberly,
lying at Georgetown, S. C. and bound
to New Voik. He had secreted himself
i)rtween bales of cotton, where he hadre-
mained/^four days ; being however tired
of his uneasy position, and hearing that
the vessel would not sail until the next
(lay, lie very prudently cried out, and was
cut Irom the bulkhead.
I he New-York CiViinrkrs had “ a row,
a rumpus and a riot” at Waterloo, one
day last week, in which a constable was
l)rought down by a shillalah, and a num
ber o\'r.tkhcal giiit'cmcn were engaged in
a “Tom and .lerry stt to,” till finally a
j large numl^cr of citizens were rallierl by

W'e have s-een at the Exchange three,

sylvania, which for beauty of workniar-
ship, not only do credit to the maker
but are calculated to exalt the reputatiojj
of our country in this department of
manufactures. f)ne of them valued
8200, is certainly the most beautiful
thing of the kind we have ever beheld
and is inlaid with mother of pearl, and
metallic ornaments in exquisite styU
Another has two barrels, and is so con'
structed, that by drawing back the guard
the breach will .’•evolve so as to enable
one to fire them in succession, with oniv
an interval of a second or two. The tliit t
is much plainer in its finish, but is never-
theless a beautifjl specimen of fire arms
The maker is a young man of modesr
and retired deportment, and we sincerly
hope these, his early efforts, may meet
such encouragement as will induce him
to apply himself, sedulously, to a branch
of business, in which he cannot fail to
attain pre-eminence.

affecting instances of its rcitorativc pow

firmed drunkard, by usir.i, Jif medicine
four days, was thoroughly reclaimed,
and is perfectly temperate and very
industrious and respectable. Another,
an ingenious mechanic, who, in conse
quence of his intemperate habits, had
forfeited the confidence of ihe public, has
been restored lo his family and to society,
and is now profitably employed, with sev
eral men under his direction. Many o-
ther instances the agent mentioned of its
salutary effects. The citizens of Provi
dence have set an example which is wor
thy of universal imitation. And it gives
us pleasure to state, that the Capt. of the
steam boat Washington offered a free
passage to their agent, as soon as he un
derstood the benevolent object of his
mission.
