There are circumstances of un mitigated wrong, of peculiar aggravation, that must be added to the picture. The crime of Poland was too much liberty ; her independent existence, in the vicinity of those who had reached their thrones on arbitrary will, was not to be endured. Fellow citizens, neither the aricient institutions nor the ancient practices of Poland have been understood. The former had, in common with all Europe, the inherited defects, of feudal practices, but still Were, they amoher the freest of this hemisphere. The lat- tcr, as ever has been, and ever will be the case, Until ran shall generally enter into the posses sion of those rights of which he has so long been deprived by political combinations and lettered monopolies, were calumniated and dis . tortcd to serve the ends of the few who desire ; to live on thetoil of the many.

What you know to be false, as rcs- ; pects yourselves, was, with the exceptions inci "dcntal to the differences in the ages and the i, governments, also false in respect to Poland. With the liberty of Poland fell the sovereignty of the State itself. Nor was this all; allegi ance was not only transferred, but it was divi- dcd.

JV. F. Standard. rrom a letter of O. P. Q. 0 &e JdiVor 0 . Morning Chronicle, dated Paris, July 16, 1831. Mr. Rives, the talented, amiable, and respec table Minister of the United States of America in this country has just concluded, on behalf 01 his trovernment, a treaty with France, on the subject of the claims of the former on the latter State, in respect of American merchant vessels seized and confiscated in execution of the Decrees of Berlin and Milan. This claim has been made by the American Government ever since 1810, but always without effect. Napo leon; evaded it Louis XVIII. shufHed it off Charles X. always talked of a more convenient season ; but the Government of Louis Phillip has done, justice to the claims of the Federal Government. The claims have been ably as serted and vigorously defended by Mr. Rives, who although he labors under the disadvantage of speaking the French language most imper fectly,! has yet written the most able and con vincing letters, and which, when published, will do him great justice, as they have done the State' some service. The claim, as you know,! is not made on behalf of the State, but on behalf of American merchants, and has been finally settled at one million sterling; from this sixty thousand pounds will be deducted to repay certain' French citizens for the losses they also sustained in consequence of seizures made by the American Government. In return for these concessions on the part of France, the American Government has consented by its Ministers, to a reduction for ten years on 4he importation duty on French wines, and to a larther proportional reduction, should the American Government reduce the duties oh other foreign wines. France on the other hand is to admit long and short cottons into hprn2rtS.on Png the same, duty, which will bls f? to Aerican commerce. The iut hnnnif atyis mmu1 concession.

He has brought back into practice the repub lican doctrine of rotation in office. He has reduced the duties on the necessaries of life, to the great benefit of the body of the people. ; He has introduced, by precept and example, economy, industry and vigilance in the man agement of the public business, .f He has reformed numerous abuses in the government. He has boldly and honestly recommended to the people and Congress to fix upon a cer tain foundation, unsettled constitutional ques tions of great magnitude, and not leave them to the fluctuating opinions of Congress, the inter ested views; of scheming politicians and mo nied corporations. j L He has restored the government to its ori ginal republican character, limiting its powers, contracting its patronage and recognizing the sovereignty of the States. He has reformed all those who committed those abuses, as the people have reformed those who permitted them, whether knowingly or unknown. He has originated the benevolent design of relieving the unfortunate but honest creditor of the government, whose liberty was hereto fore completely at the mercy of; the gas-eminent. '. He has conducted the Post O5co Depart- are burning to get power and office, to gratify meir unnoiy ambition, or that they may plun der and squander thj? public treasure ; and be cause their rage is lashed into fury by the ut ter hopelessness of their cause, and by the pure, disinterested and triumphant administra tion of the man, who has so signally falsified their dark predictions. If he were to commit some capital error, they would be less enven nomed but the beauty of his career, makes their own deformity the more hideous. CARROLL. The political maxims of the Jackson party are of a character, that when fairly considered, must attract the approbation of every good citizen. They seem to me too, to forln the ground work of endless durability to our happy institutions. If the liberty of man cannot be maintained under the guidance of such doc- timeb, men is treedom a hopeless theory, and a mere Utopian vision. What are these maxims ? The first is, that the people are sovereign, are fully competent to manage their political as they are-to conduct their private concerns, and that they should delegate to their agents as lit tle of their power as possible. Second, a close and watchful economy in the expenditure of the public treasury in order that no more money may be taken from the hard earnings of the people than the evtgencies of nie government require that no extravagant salaries be paid no useless officers retained, and that the governmental patronage, be kept down to the lowest possible point. Thirl, that there be rotation in office. Fourth, Freedom of the Press, of Elections, of conscience, and of industry. Fifth, inviolability of the powers retained by the people of the states.

We gave in our last number a concise ac count of the rain and winds by which we had been- visited from the 3d tojhe 16th inst. We are notsiiperstitious,but must confess that at the time our editorial article was written, (late on the 16th) for the 17th inst. we were most sensibly impressed, "that if we were not about to experience a storm, or as the seamen term it, the head or the tail of a hurricane, we stood a chance of feeling the effects of some very dirty weather: hence the commendation we ventured to award to some of the captains for their praiseworthy exertions for the safety of their vessels; how happy should we have been on the morning of the 17th to have found our selves deceived in our calculations! -How glad should we have been to have seen our Levee, in the same proud condition, that it offered to our view but a few hours before our paper was distributed : courted and decorated by the flag of our nation and that of the western or eastern hemisphere ! But a short space of time previous we had seen sometof the finest shipping in the world, majestically smiling under the burden of the richest freights that the shipping of the United States and the countries in amity with her, are destined to transport from our happy shores, riding in al most perfect safety. TJie morning of the 17th, however, discovered to us an awful and melan choly scene which few , of the best marine painters could faintly describe upon canvass. and which we shall therefore hardly pretend to do upon paper. We are bound to state that our Levee from the Port of Orleans to the lowest extremity of the Faubourg Marginy, presented but one uniform scene of wreck and dessolation, and we are sorry to say that amidst the sad exhibition of destruction we discovered scarcely a vessel that had entirely escaped this dreadful visitation, and but few that hs3 not been injured by it.

EW ORLEANS, Aug. 2. Captain Wildej of the schooner Isabellaf arrived in townlyesterday from .Barrataris, and informs us ofthe loss of his vessel, during the late gale. Thf Isabella sailed from Mobile on the 14th for ipalachicola, in ballast, and was, driven ashordpn the morning of the 17th on the Grand Tefee, Two miles westward oi the pass of Barratara, where it is apprehended she will be totally: loat, as her hulfwas nearly buried in the sand when captain W. left. The crew were all saved. s 1 " ' - A schooner, lying onficr beam ends, was seen in Parralaria ; Pass, hiving been capsized in the gale, name not knowi. The dead body of a seaman floated on styre near where the Isabella lay. A brig sailed frhn Mobile on the 13th, for Philadelphia, haHng a deck load of cotton and from the numtfer of bales float in ashore, captain W. is apjtehensive that she has been lost in the gale. The Island of Barratari was completely inundated, the water having risen six feet Two sugar houses were blotyi down, the cane was all prostrated, and the crn crops were en tirely destroyed.
