Although Liberty has been subdued by bold usurpa tion, and the Laws been overwhelmed by superior force, still the silent judgment of the public, or the open deci sion nt the nolls will not fail to avenee their violated ma jesty, and restore them, once more, to their pristine dig- uity. The three Ordinances to which we have ad verted, although forming but half the number which Governor Jackson has given to the world, will, perhaps, be received by his supporters as snecimens of Legislative talents, whilst they fur rush his opponents with incontestible proofs of unfitness for that station to wnicn ne aspires. Without pursuing, however, an investigation which, at every step, accumulates matter for so ber reflection, it is now our object briefly to re capitulate the striking features already presented to the public view. In Ordinance No. 1 we have seen him dele gating to a'dependent City Council of his own appointment an unlimited power to lay and col lect taxes, although prohibited himself, from the exercise of the taxing power by the express letter of his Commission. We have seen him assuming the directory of the consciences of men, invading the sanctuary of religious faith, and ordaining that his Council .should have power to make " any regulations "on the due observance of the Sabbath, WHICH "THEY MAY DEEM PROPER." We have seen him converting an act of Hu manity and Hospitality into a punishing offence ; restricting the common right of barter and sale ; and prohibiting all persons, within the pale of his authority, " from FURNISHING, or selling "tny liquor, or ardent spirit, whatever, to any "soldier in the service of the United States of "America :" We have seen Jiim exercising as absolute a control over the property of individuals, as if it had been held from him, as their superior Lord ; divesting citizens of its enjoyment without pro viding a just compensation ; and extending the old and established limits of St. Augustine, for the avowed purpose of " placing under the im mediate control of " the Mayor and Council, " ALL, the fountains and springs from which the "inhabitants are supplied withwater." And, as if these enumerated powers were not sufficiently ample, we have seen him conferring upon the same Council, by a general grant, " all " the powers necessary to the good government " of the town." In Ordinance No. 4 we have seen him assum ing, by his own Legislative act, the highest Ju dicial powers, rendering the Judical Department dependent on his will ; vesting CRIMINAL JURISDICTION in the county courts, com posed of the Justices of the Peace, of his own ap pointment, removable at his pleasure; providing, however, with commendable prudence, that no execution should take place upon their judgments without his warrant; granting to these Courts the novel power of unlimited taxation ; abolish ing the right of Jury Trial thus virtually abro gating the Freedom of the Press ; and plainly violating the venerated maxims of Judicious le gislation, which recommend a separation of the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial powers, as the only preservative of Freedom. In Ordinance No. 3 we have seen him divest ing the inhabitants of Florida by construction, of the rights, privileges, and immunities, of A merican citizens, tb which they were entitled by tho faith of treaties; we have seen him tendering the restoration of those rights, privileges, and im munities upon the payment of certain fees, ope rating as a degrading tribute, or still more degra ing capitation tax, claimed as an equivalent for security afforded, or liberty conferred : we have seen him demanding, as the price of spurious cer tificates of citizenship, absolutely worthless, be cause absolutely void, not less than three dollars not in proportion to property assessed, but for every apprentice maintained, and every male child begotten. To add another trait to this sys tem of unequalled extortion, we have seen him USURPING the power exclusively confided to Congress by the Constitution he had sworn to support, establishing rules of naturalization un known to the law, and enforcing his new regula tions by the proclaimed punishment of banish ment or exile. The effect of these Ordinances upon the in habitants of Florida may be imagined, but cannot be described. They had cherished the belief that the successful soldier would have guarded their property and preserved their rights. Hope in clined them to expect that his combined civil and military powers would have been exerted, not to oppress, but to protect ; not to pillage ; not to uproot their valued institutions, under which they had lived in security and peace, or to engraft new abuses upon old corruption ; but to reform what experience might show to be defective ; to retain what the general voice might approve : and rear the institutions of an infantState upon the basis of wise and equitable laws. Moved by these cheer ing anticipations, they were ready to receive him as a friend, and obey him as a father. But how great and sudden was the change. The very day after the execution of the Treaty, and the ex change of Flags, the promulgation of the Ordi nances aroused them from the dream of anticipa ted freedom, and presented to their view the loathsome spectacle of citizens in chains. The convulsion of Nature could not have struck them with greater dismay than the taxes imposed, the tribute demanded, and the principles maintained. But dismay gave way to unmingled abhorrence, when, in the same Ordinances they beheld his open contempt for the sacred principles of the Constitution ; his eager prostration of the che rished maxims of Freedom ; his glaring violation of the rights secured by Treaty ; and his daring usurpation of Supreme, Judicial, and Legislative powers.

POLITICAL ITEMS.; It has been the object of some politicians, (whenever, and wherever they deemed it good po licy to urge the point,) to induce a belief among such members ol the Kepublican party as are dis posed to support the re-election of Mr. Adams, that his is the Federal cause, and Gen. Jackson's the Republican. Nothing can be more fallacious. A friend who has noticed this uncandid course, has called our attention to the Republican ticket of Virginia, formed in 1804, for the re-election of Mr. Jefferson. Of the 24 gentlemen composing this ticket, concerning whose republicanism no one can sug gest a doubt, sixteen are dead, and the following eight are living, viz : Dr. Richard Field, John Taliaferro, ' Creed Tailor, .' James Allen, William II. Cabell, Archibald Stuart, William Ellzey, Wm. McKinley. Of these- eight, seven are known to be in favor of the present Administration, and three of them, to wit, Dr. Richard Field, Judge Archibald Stu art, and Col. William Ellzey, are on the electo ral ticket now before the People of Virginia in behalf of Mr. Adams. Virginia Free Press. Robert Daniels, William Murphy, and Henry Job, placed on the Jackson Committee of Vigi lance in Berkeley, at the late meeting, have de clined the honor intended them, and beg leave to be discharged from the Jackson ranks. From the Somerset Iris. Extract of a letter from a gentleman of Acco mack County, Virginia, dated Mount Prospect, August 31, 1828. " There is, doubtless, in this county, FOUR to one in favor of the Administration, and VIR GINIA seems determined, or at least the Adams men are determined, not to yield the State to the Hero, without a struggle" and may that struggle prove successful. Editor. fAccomack is one of the most populous Coun ties of Virginia, and its population is among the most intelligent and independent of the state ; so that we have reason to hope that, in the ap proaching Presidential Election, its vote may not only be honorable, but efficient in favor of the Administration. From the Albany Chronicle. The State of New-York contains fifty-six counties. Out of these litty-six, the Jacksonians, at the approaching election, cannot and will not obtain majorities in twenty ; and yet they have the assurance to pretend that they shall obtain some five or six and twenty electors. Union County, Pennsylvania. For the in formation of our readers we assure them, the cause of the Administration has assumed an as pect in this county, that gives us the most flatter ing hopes. Mr. Merrill, an honorable and in telligent man, and one of the Jackson Commit tee, has become a supporter of John Q. Adams. He was at one time a warm advocate of General Jackson, and as the leading member of the com mittee, took an active part in favor of the milita ry candidate. But a firm conviction that Jack son's administration, if he should be elected, would be controlled by violent Southern politi cians, and of course to the detriment of the in terests of Pennsylvania and of the Union, has induced him to abandon the General and give his influence to the side of our present worthy Chief Magistrate. Mr. Robert Maclay, also a member of the Con vention from Union county, which ;; nominated Jackson, has also espoused our cause, and now warmly advocates the re-election of the Tariff candidate. Mr. Maclay is a popular and intelli gent man, is a brother of the Register of Union county, who was appointed to that office by Go vernor Shulze without .any personal solicitation therefor. Penn. Int. Orange County, New-York. The Goshen (Orange county) Patriot, after noting the de creased and decreasing calculations of tho Jack son men, as to the majority they count upon in Orange county, which was originally claimed at 1500, then reduced to a 1000, and now within a week or so, has got down to 300, says, that this is still too high ; and that even in that estimate they will be deceived. ' We will not," adds the Patriot, " make any estimate to show the nelusion of our opponents, but this much we will and do say, that the cause of the Administration is daily strengthened in this county. Its friends have no cause for alarm a steady perseverance will ensure ultimate success. The cause is a good one it is recommended to their support by useful and wise measures, all tending to the pros perity and happiness of the nation our candi date is a man of splendid talents, of unsullied character, and pure patriotism. He has, during a long life of varied public services, received the unqualified approbation of Washington, df Jeffer son, of Madison, and of Monroe a better pass port no citizen could wish to the confidence of his countrymen. If these men, on an intimate personal acquaintance, have formed a just esti mate of the talents, the acquirements, and the virtues of Mr. Adams, it can be no disparagement tous to give him a warm and cordial support." , From the Boston Daily Advertiser. Jackson triumphs. The New- York Enqui rer, in a paragraph under the head of " glorious triumphs," says : " Turning from these prospects in the west, we find " a burning and shining light" from the east. Last Monday the state and congressional elcctionstook place in Maine. The returns are received from Cumberland county only partially. Anderson, the Jackson candidate for Congress, is voted for without opposition, and the republican tickets succeeded nearly throughout. The elec tions in Maine show that two or three votes are certain for Jackson, in that patriotic and re publican state." Of the prospects in the west ice cannot judge so well, because the informationnot of so au thentic a character, as we can of those in the east. If the Enquirer's hopes from the western states are not belter supported by facts, than those from Maine, his triumph will be a short one. One or two districts in Maine were, be fore the election, considered doubtful, by many persons. They are no longer so. I here is now ice believe no question that the whole vote of Maine, and of all the New-England states, will be given for Mr. Adams. There will besides be a gain of two Administration Senators from Maine, one to take his scat at the next session, one place in of Mr. Chandler in the next Con gress, aud also a jriend oj the Administration, chosen to the next Congress in place of Mr. Rip-leu. We have received the result of the election in fifteen towns in the Oxford district, which gives Mr. Washburn 1518 votes, and Mr. Ripley 746. In twelve towns in Oxford county the Adminis tration candidates for the state senate have 954 votes, and the Jackson 600. This district and Cumberland were the only two which were con sidered doubtful. In Cumberland the Adminis tration ticket has succeeded by a majority of more than 200 votes. Not one Jackson candidate for the senate, is yet known to be elected. Louisiana Kentucky and Indiana, ours. The prospect before us wears the most flattering aspect for the success of the great and good cause in which we are engaged. Without entering into particulars we can assure our political friends, that, all circumstances considered, if we had our selves the absolute power of arranging affairs for the success of the grand election, we could not place them in a more favorable condition, for the re-election of Mr. Addms. The New England states, N. York, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Louisiana, Kentucky and Indiana, and we confi dently add Pennsylvania, may now be counted on. In the latter state, all is animation and hope, whilst the Jackson crest is every where drooping. Ingham, Stevenson and Buchanan, despair of be ing re-elected to Congress. Their places will be filled by decided administration men. ' We the People.' , From the Ililhboro' Recorder. All our readers know that our preference has uniformly been for John Q.Adams, as President of the United States, and that this preference is grounded on the belief that, from his habits and his opportunities, and from the eminent talents with which he has been gifted, he was better qua lified than either of his competitors for that ex alted and responsible station. But, if wo have been uniform in our attachment, we have been moderate in its exercise ; we have not claimed for our favorite a total exemption from error, nor have we represented his opponents as personify ing all that is evil. While many of tho opposi tion prints have been filled to overflowing with mutilated extracts from letters, mangled scraps of conversations, conjectures, surmises, unjustifi able inferences, and anonymous communications, to prove base intrigue and corruption, and un abunded profligacy on the part of Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay ; we have contented ourselves with publishing a few articles designed to prove the false nature of these charges, and the incorrupti ble integrity of these accomplished statesmen. We have not once carried the war into the ene my's camp, by throwing back that abuse which has been so lavishly heaped upon us. But tho we would not lightly publish any thing to the pre judice of Gen. Jackson which we did not believe to be true, there are yet some charges brought against him which we feel ourselves not at liberty to withhold from our readers. FOREIGN. LATEST FROM ENGLAND. New-York, Sept. 19. By the packet ship Canada, captain Graham, which arrived last evening, we have our files of London papers to the 15th of August, Liverpool to the 16th, with shipping and Lloyd's Lists, &c. Mungland. 1 he accounts of the crops will be found below. The Lord High Admiral, it had been reported for several days, had resigned. The Courier seems to give the report credit; and the New Times of the latest date says, it is understood that he will resign, if he has not ; for that his ostentatious and imperious conduct have placed him in a delicate situation with the King. It adds, that the Duke of Wellington receives his Majesty's full approbation. It had been reported, says the same paper, (the New Times) that Mr. Peel intends to resign. It is declared that this was premature ; but intima ted that he had so indentified himself with the currency bills, that it would not be stranee if both should fall together. The editor speaks in a lofty and oracular tone ; whether with or with out reason we cannot decide. We hope, however, a man like Mr. Peel, ren dered doubly valuable by the incompetency of his associates, will not leave the British ministry at this juncture. Lord Strangford is about to proceed upon a mission to the Emperor of Brazil. London, August 15. Last week we received the Journal de St. Pe tersburgh to the 31st ult. the AUgemeine Zeitung to the 8th inst. and Dutch papers to the 13th. The St. Petersburg-! Journal contains official news from the Russian army in Asiatic Turkey, and the Dutch papers contajiVa bulletin from the Russian army on the Danube. The last, which is dated the 21st ult. announces the arrival of the Russians before Choumla. It also states that the siege of Silistria was to commence in form on the same day, and that Varna was vigorously pressed both by land and sea. The last accounts from Vienna, after stating that the recruiting has commenced, and that the provinces, exclusive of the Hungarian contingent, are to raise 40,000 men, emphatically adds, that no doubt is enter tained in that capital of the maintenance of peace. With this opinion, we confess we entirely coin cide, and think it highly probable that the Rus sians will be allowed to prosecute their designs against Turkey, without encountering the slight-, est opposition from any power. London, August 13. Some further intelligence has reached us this morning from Lisbon and Oporto. It was said that the British Commander in the Tagus had fired a Royal salute as Don Miguel passed in a small vessel with tho Royal Standard hoisted. Our letters state, " that a salute was fired, and yards were, manned, but the compli ment was paid to the Portuguese Royal flag not to Don Miguel ; and in order to make this more apparent, the bund on board our Commo dore's ship, immediately struck up Don Pedro's Constitutional Hymn." The expedition for Madeira and the Azores was fitting out with the greatest activity. There were eight Portuguese pendants flying iu the Ta gus, and the troops to be embarked amount to between 2 and 3,000 men. They were to sail about the 8th. Colonel Azuedo a Lcmos, one of the Queen's party, is to command them. Turkey. The Russians had possession of the heights before Choumla, and were on the paint of commencing an attack upon it. The country in that vicinity, and indeed all along the foot of the Lalkan mountains, had been evacuated by the Greek inhabitants, or occupied by troops. The Greeks and Turks were at war in Eastern Bulgaria. 800 young Greeks, embodied by the Turks at Sophia, had gone over to the Russians. In Asia, Gen. Paskewitch was very successful. He had taken Kars, the only fortress, it is said, in his way to Erzerun. . ., i The accounts concerning the spirit manifested by the Porte are contradictory. The Sultan is however active in fortifying the environs of Con stantinople, and in securing those points which might give the Russians the command of the sup plies.of water for the inhabitants. The Courier remarks that the Turkish troops resolutely de fend every post attacked by the invaders ; and that they leave their villages evacuated to fall into their hands, without destroying or injuring them. All the unmarried Greeks (22,000) have been ordered to leave Constantinople, because the Greeks at Varna were suspected of having arms concealed. . London, Thursday Evening, August 14. The state of the weather engrorses nearly all the conversation of the merchants and city poli ticians, and not without reason. We have now had rain, almost without intermission, for thirty hours. We understand that the waters are more out in the country than they were during any time last winter. The only favorable feature is, that the weather is cold, and the grain therefore not so liable to grow. We have seen a letter, however, from Hampshire, tho writer of which states that he has carried half of his wheat, but that it had began to grow, and he had been obli ged to lay it out. The wheat which he had stand ing, he was unable to cut. He adds, that "we are all crazy in this part of the country." It is now generally believed that the ports must be thrown open by Order of Council. The ave rages do not rise, and as a great deal of injured wheat will' be shortly brought to market, while the good will probably be kept back, we should not be at all surprised if the duty were ,to be higher. The quantity of wheat in store in the Continental ports is very small, and a portion of this will, no doubt, go to France, where there is already a great demand for wheat. Gold is, in consequence, in considerable demand. The pre mium upon one thousand Napoleons has risen from a franc and a half to five francs. There is also a company established in France, with a ca pital of 25,000,000 francs, for the purchase of foreign wheat. The whole of the stock of wheat on the Continent, from Dantzic to Hamburgh, including all the intermediate ports, does not amount to more than about sixty thousand lasts, or six hundred "and sixty thousand quarters. Out of this amount it is fair to deduct one quarter for France which will leave for England five hundred thousand quarters, which, at forty shil lings a quarter, will amount to about one million sterling. So small a sum as this cannothave much effect upon the Exchanges. I he accounts from the hop districts a'C very bad. The late high winds have done very ex tensive mischief among the plantations in every direction. We have seen a letter from Worces ter, which states that the poles have nearly all been blown down, and. that the hops are lying on the ground, covered with mud and water. Un less fine weather should soon set in, the Worces ter growers are afraid that they shall lose nearly their whole crop. The London Morning Herald complains, that "while Russia is marching rapidly to Constan tinople, France is despatching a large army to the Morea, Austria collecting large bodies of troops close to the scene of action, and a general war, according to them, is to break out in a few months, England has so far forgotten her usual course on such occasions as to stand by an idle spectator, and, though more interested than any of the three last powers, to act as if the affair did not at all concern her." The Morning Chronicle, in a more humble tone, says " Now the fact is, that we are una ble to prevent Russia from occupving Turkey. The power of England is greater than that of Russia, but England cannot act against Russia any more than Russia can act against England. We could only interfere in behalf of Tut key through the agency of other Powers, which are too prudent to expose themselves to the ven geance of Russia to gratify us. Were it otherwise, and we hail influence to produce an European war, the expense of that war, which would be chiefly thrown on us, would be a dear purchase of such influence." Tho Earl of Liverpool continues extremely af flicted. The Noble Earl has nearly lost the use of his leftside. About a fortnight since he was seized with a violent convulsion, fit, at his resi dence, which it was feared would have terminated fatally. Morning Herald. The Crops in Ireland. The news from the south regarding the corn is very unfavorable. The oats are thin, but have not suffered so mate rially as the other grain. In a great part of Lim erick, Tipperary, and Clare, the wheat and bar ley are laid. From the north the accounts are better ; the light winds of to-day and yesterday have restored many acres for which serious ap prehensions were entertained. Times. We understand that M. La Porte is already in trealywith Madame Pesaroni, and Madame Ma iibran Garcia, for the next season at the King's Theatre. Letters from Smyrna state that the English and French Admirals have induced Admiral Hey den to consider Smyrna as a neutral port, where no hostility whatever was to be practised. Manchester, August 5. There is a pretty brisk demand here lor cot ton twist, and the spinners are mostly engaged for what they can make for two months to come. There is less doing in cotton manufactured goods; but the silk manufactories are fully em ployed ; and in an improving state. The lower class here have a very comfortable appearance now. The quartern loaf has risen Id. since last week. Crons in Louisiana. The New-Orlean 1W cantile Advertiser of the 15th of August says, i nat the crops ot cotton and sugar in that state promised well the only dangers to be ap prehended to a full harvest, is a hurricane and the rot the first will ruin tho sugar cane, and the latter the cotton. But like good philosophers we hope for the best, and should otir planters fortu nately escape the dangers alluded to, our state will come in for at least three millions nf dollrc for their labor of this year. No state in tho union is so iruitful, or makes such rich returns to the planter as Louisiana, nnd none has so many rich uncultivated lands for saje." ....... From the Boston Courier, 6ti. 12. ' " Trade and Manufactures. A brig was clo;lr ed yesterday at our Custom House, for the Nortf West Coast, haying on board six hundred .J forty-six bales of Domestic Cottons, valued at forty-eight thousand dollars. A ship also'clcir ed for Valparaiso, with nearly five hundred bales of the same commodity. . Baltimore, Sept. is, Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road. A short ex cursionon the first section of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road yesterday afternoon, has consid. erably enlivened our hopes, which were before pretty sanguine, of the early completion of this important work. We may now say from our own observation, that "the work goes bravely on" The workmon are busily engaged from the city line to Ellicot's Mills, with the exception of a single section, we believe one mile, in diggin down ridges and filling valleys and ravines, build, ing stone bridges, &c. There is no want of la. borers or mechanics, and every thing goes on with great regularity 'and order, well calculated to cheer the hopes of the Stockholders and the public.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman to his friends in North ampton ; " " At Salem, a young man just arrived from Petersburgh, (Russia,) gave me a piece of rock witn wnicn tne emperor INicholas is non building a Church, which he intends shall be tho largest ever built.

The " Encke" comet U revisiting in, after an absence of three years. A writer in the Boston Daily Advertiser, whose signature is R. T. P. has given its elevation nf. the time of its present approach to the earth. It will be visible in a situation extremely favorable for observation: "This comet is distinguished from all others by the shortness nnd regularity of its period, (40 months) and by its Mnall distance from the sun, when greatest : being about that ut" Jupiter; indeed, were it not for its errcntriciiv. it mignt witn greater propriety, be suled a pl.i- net. QO A small volume by Mrs. Opie, entitled De traction Displayed, has been republished here by Messrs. Carey, Lea & Carey. The portion of verbiage in it is rather too great, but it contains much excellent matter; many sound lessons for all orders of society, some of which we have mar gined in order to report them hereafter. As a pertinent example we now transcribe the follow ing : " Party-spirit is one never failing source of positive defamation, and partisans of all ranks and classes are amongst the most prominent ob jects of it for instance, the competition which results from an election leads to unwarrantable judgments and infamous calumnies. There is no slander, however improbable, that the friends of one candidate will not believe and propagate of the friends of the other, and the candidates them selves are not only falsely accused at the present time, but are sure to have even their long forgot ten, and perhaps, falsely imputed faults, in days that are past, brought forward 'in array against them. And how powerful are party names to excite illiberal judgment 1 I have often heard higs declare that there never was an honest tory, and tories assert that all whigs were rogues ; and whence this narrow-minded and otherwise mis chievous defamation, but from the had temper produced by party-spirit ?" See two-thirds of the British, French, and American newspapers. Nat. (laz. The Quarterly Review thinks that the Af ghans are the descendents of the lost ten tribes of Israel. According to the same authority, the number of Jews in Great Britain and Ireland does not exceed ten or twelve thousand ; in Fiance, there are from thirty to forty thousand ; at Constantinople, about forty thousand. Twen ty years ago, there was at Saffet (the ancient Be thulia) and Jerusalem, but a small number of them some hundreds at the most there are now, at the very least, ten thousand. About fifty years ago, a Jew subscribed largely to the re building of a small town, in the North of Germa ny, which had been burnt down ; a year or two later, arriving at its gates, on his way beyond, he was stopped at them by a law of the place for bidding the entry of an Isralite. But now, in most parts of Germany, and in the Netherlands and France, they are relieved from civil restraints and disabilities. Mrs. Royall.
