ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION
New-York Sept. 26. On visiting the Navy
l ard, at Urooklyn, a few days since, we were
much gratified with an examination of a noblo
ship on the stocks, nearly ready to launch, which
we lound to be the one intended, by the Secreta
ry of the Navy, for the exploring expedition to
the South Seas and Pacific Ocean. She bears
tlie name of the old Peacock, repaired, but is, in
reality, in every respect, a new ship, prepared
expressly for the intended expedition. Her
length is one hundred and eighteen feet : breadth.
thirty-two feet six inches; depth fourteen feet
six inches, with a spar deck ot seven feet, and
measuring about ftvo hundred and twelve tons.
The frame Is very strong, and of the best sea
soned live oak. Her timbers are entirely solid,
bolted on into the other, and caulked, as high
as the birth deck, before planking, so that she
might hav. been launched, and crossed die At
lantic, without planking or sheathing inside or
out.
in addition to what is common in sloops of
war, she is provided with a spar deck, which will
afford shelter and comfort to the men in bad
weather. Her bulwarks above the spar deck,
are the same as in merchant vessels.
The Naval Architect, Mr. Saiyuel Hart, has
superintended the construction of the vessel, un
der Commodore Chauncey, in accordance witli
the model sent from the Navy Department, and
the manner in which he has executed his task,
reflects the highest credit on his professional
skill. The vessel will be lightly armed with
twelve instead of twenty-two guns ; her spars fc
rigging will not be so heavy as in common sloops
of war, so that she may bo sailed with a smaller
complement of men, an object of primary impor
tance on a voyage of such duration.
We have been highly gratified to find, that
the members of tho Lyceum of Natural History
in this city, have taken up the subject with
great spirit; they have long since commu
nicated to the Secretary of t he Navy the deep in
terest the Society felt in the enterprise to be sent
out under hid special care and direction, &. their
zeal and willingness to coropcratc with him in
maturing and arranging all the scientific details of
the expedition.
Every thing, indeed, in relation to this 'expedi
tion, appears to he advancing; but what time it
will leave our port, we have not been able to
Varn. We hope the Secretary will carry it
through with the same spirit and enlarged views
he has shown in the arrangement thus far matu
red. He may rely on beinz sustained bvthe in
telligence of tho country. The objects of the I
expedition as far as we have been able to learn,
and have room to publish at this time, are pretty
accurately set forth in the following extract from
a New Bedford paper :
The purposes of this expedition are under
stood to be two fold ; to visit and lay down with
perfect accuracy, islands &, coasts now frequent
ed, but imperfectly defined and to explore seas
which have not been traversed, in scearch of
new discoveries, and with the intention of scien
tific observation, and remark upon the pheno
mena of nature at new and various points of the
earth's surface. With the latter view it is in
tended, we understand, to push South to as near
an approximation to the Pole as can possibly be
attained while under the design of direct utility
accurate surveys (as has been remarked) will be
made of coasts, islands, &,c. and every practical
means made use of to ascertain not only the posi
tion of islands, but every particular in "relation to
mem, as tijeir capacities to afford refreshment &
their
ui'scrirrtion? 01 nrorlur.ts fact itv ot ar-
proach points of good anchorage every thing
in short, that may render them interesting and
valuable to the mariner as places of resort.
It is also intended to add to the future facilities
of supplies by leaving animals at such islands as
seem adapted to their increase, and transporting
animals of various kinds from island to island.
As a friendly and harmonious understanding
with the natives is of, primary importance, no
tliing will of course be omitted by the expedition,
which may tend to secure the prevalence and
permanency ot such a disposition. A slight
glance at inose enumerated objects will at once
show what essential advantages may be expected
to result from their accomplishment, to the Pa
cific whale fishery. The unknown or imperfectly
explored reefs which abound in those distant re
sorts of our ships, have already proved fatal to
many of the whalemen of other nations, 'as well
as to several of our own. Here, therefore, perils
are to be lessened, if not wholly subdued, which
involve both life and property ; and by the exer
tions of an expedition judiciously arranged and
properly appointed, it is manifest thai not only
the chances of safety may be advanced, but the
rigors and hardships incident to voyages of. such
duration, as those of our whalemen, may be
greatly ameliorated.
...We cannot close this article without paying a
just tribute to the enlightened zeal and perseve
rance manifested by Mr. Reynolds, on this subject.
To the untiri'ig efforts and constancy of purpose
of this gentleman, the expedition, if not owing
its very existence, is certainly indebted for many
of its highest advantages." .
From the Baltimore Patriot.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
There never was a man who has been so much
misrepresented, or whose real character has been
so little understood by his political foes, as Mr.
Adams, the President of the United States.
"They give the portrait they draw of him, all the
ghnstliness of the perturbed spirit of ambition,
wandering about among midnight cabals, and
smothering all the finer feelings of our nature in
his anxiety for place and power. They know
not the man, or do violence to truth, who paint
him thus. He is the very opposite of all this.
He never was a politician by profession, such as,
in modern times, disturb the quiet of the human
family with their incessant broils and battlings for
office. With a mind given to reflection, deeply
imbued with religion, and stored with all the
riches of philosophy, his inclinations have ever
clung to the closet, while his pre-eminent talents
and great acquirements have continually attracted
the notice of his country, and caused him to be
drawn from hi3 favorite groves successively to one
ofiiceand to auother, until he finds himself seated
in the Executive Chair of this great and enlight
ened empire of freemen.
If his opponent professes never, to have sought
or declined office, Mr Adams has practised, at
least the first member of the sentence to its very
letter he never sought office ; on the contrary,
offices have always sought him. And even now,
when the whole country is in commotion on the
subject of the approaching Presidential election.
and, however his foes may represent to the con
trary, there is no man who takes less interest in
the result than he does, as to personal considera
tions. I hat he feels deeply for his country's
welfare, we all know; find that ho is willius to
make every sacrifice to save it from wreck in its
passage over the perilous brc:
just ahead,
nis consenting to brave the peltings of this most
pitiless storm, ot tins most barbarous political
warfare, amply proves. But, for himself, for his
own personal aggrandizement, he would hardly
miss one of his pleasant morning walks on the
green banks of the Potomac, or turn to the right
or to the left, to gain the Presidency. By the by,
speaking of Mr. Adams's morning walks, reminds
us of one he took while in Europe, in his young
er da vs. While travelling through Silesia, early
one morning, he climbed to the summit of the
Giant's head Mountain, to view the rising of the
sun from that celebrated spot, and we copy be
low his reflections on the occasion, from his notes.
Sentiments like these never came from the head;
they are from tho warm heart that glows in the
bosom of piety and patriotism.
from the Journal of John Q. Adams'Jour throvgh Silesia.
" Sentiments of devotion I have alwavs found the first
to take possession of the mind, on ascending lotty moun
tains. At the summit of the Giant's Head, my first
thought was turned to the Supreme Creator, who pave
existence to nil that immensity of objects expanded be
fore my view. The transition from this idea, to that of
my own relation, as an immortal soul, with the author of
Nature was natural and immediate ; from this, to the re
collection of my native country, my parents and friends,
there was but a single and a sudden step. On returning
to the. liut where we had lodged, I wrote the following
lines Jn the book:
From lands beyond the vast Atlantic tide,
Celestial freedom's most belov'd abode,
Panting, I climb'd the mountain's craggy side,
And view'd the wond'rous works of Nature's God.
where yonder summit, peering to the skies,
Beholds the earth beneath it with disdain,
O'er all the regions round I cast my eyes,
And anxious sought my native home in vain.
As, to that native home, which still enfolds
Those youthful friendships to my sold so dear,
Still you, my parents, in its bosom holds ;
My fancy flew, I felt the starting tear.
Then, in the rustling of the morning wiod,
Methought I heard a spirit whisper fair ;
" Pilgrim forbear; still upward raise thy mind ;
Look to the skies thy native home is there."
From the National Journal.
THE DESPOTISM OF GOV. JACKSON DESCRIBED.
Judge Fromentin to the Secretary of Stale.
rcnsacola, Sept. 21, 1821.
Sin: My situation and the situation of the
country, becomes more and more desperate
every day. When, after receiving my commis
sion, on the very day on which the pretended
county court, created by General Jackson, ad
journed,! wrote you that things of course should
remain in statu quo. But tho evil is
making every day such rapid progress, that I am
seriously alarmed at the immense number of suits,
both civil and criminal, which arc every day
tried here, coram nonjudke. Tho county court
holds adjourned sessions every month, and the
General is engaged in hearing trials him
self, more or less every day. What his views
are I cannot tell. But I feci serious anxiety
when I see him from the Bench, which he has
usurped, pressing indiscriminately into his service
truth and vntkvth, fair and unfair
" I was flattered a few days ago, with the hope
of being able at last to make an effort to put an
end to this horrid state of things;
But, upon reflection, what will it a commission
tor a deputy marshal avail the public or me 7
.! can excrciso no jurisdiction
The portion of the army here, is under the or
der of General Jackson. The posse comitatus
would be inefficient. If my life was the only
sacrifice to be risked, the laws should be obeyed.
But under our Government of Laws & Freedom
in Florida the most revolting system of Inqui
sition prevails; and I am compelled to desire, as
preferable to what exists here now, even the
despotism of Algiers, Tunis or Moroco. This
place re-echoes with the most outrageous and im
pious vociferations, & that,tbo, from a place cal
led a bench of Justice, against every body who
will dare to question the supremacy of the Go
vernor, i" am credibly informed that commis
sions have been, or are to be sent to New-Orleans
in order to find out, by depositions there,
the names of the writers here whose description
of the scenes which have taken place at Pensa
cola, does not exactly , tally with the account
given by the General and his friends. I write
you with a rope round my neck I can afford
protection to nobody here, much less to myself.
I have the honor, &e.
ELIG. FROMENTIN.
In this Portrait of Judge Jackson, administer
ing equity fronuthe Bench, drawn by another
Judge , upon the spot, who had before obtained
tho then highest honor his State, Louisiana,
could confer, we see the striking traits of vindic
tive cruelty, impiety, and rage.

Frora the Liverpool Mercury.
The greatest novelty we have witnessed for
some time was the exhibition t& Mr. Pocock's
kites, by which a boat was drawn forward at con
siderable speed, under circumstances which de
monstrated the great utility of an apparatus, which
before Mr. P. took it in hand was a mere child's
toy. The experiment was made a little before 1
o'clock in the afternoon, from the floating bath,
with the most perfect success. The wind was blow
ing from the south, and the tide coming in rapidly,
when wo,' m company with Mr. Alfred Pocock
and others, got on board the boat. Many per
sons cannot conceive how a kite can possibly
draw n carriage or a boat in any but the direc
tion of the wind ; the experiment of Friday must
have ronvincod them that a boat or car may be
easily drawn by kites at right angles with the
wind. On quitting the hath, with the wind di
rectly south, we made straight for the Cheshire
shore, or due west, ind returned due cast to the
precise spot from which wo set out, having been
about 20 minutes in performing trie trip. We
then set but again due west ; and after proceed
ing about halfway to Cheshire, we returned, and
before reaching the bath, wo proceeded a few
hundred yards beyond it to the south thus beat
ing up to wind, a manoeuvre which we have
heard several nautical men pronounce to be ut
terly impossible: by the rgency of kites. It was
amusing to witness l!ie surprise of the boatmen at
seeing a boirt urged forwards without sails, oars,
or steam. The experiment has fully convinced
us that with a strong breeze blowing from the
north or south, a boat furnished with one of the
largest pair of "kites Could cross from Liverpool
to Cheshire, and return, without making much
lee way, whatever may be the state and strength
of tho tide. We ought to have stated that the
boat in which the experiment was made was a
heavy two-masted one not at all adapted to the
purpose, since tlie regatta day we have been
several times with Mr. Pocock, junr. on the riv
er, witnessing his surprising and interesting mode
of manoeuvring his kites. On one occasion with
the wind N. W. we ran from the floating bath to
the rock ferry; and the boatmen assured us that
our course during the trip was frequently less than
five points to the wind.
LITERARY.
Messrs. Carey, Lea & Carey (says the Nation
al Gazette) have published in a cheap duodecimo
volume, the Rev. Dr. Walsh's Narrative of a
Journey from Constantinople to England. This
work is quite opportune, and bears the same
stamp of truth and authority which distinguishes
Bishop Hcber's India. It fully deserves, in our
opinion, the character that is abstribed to it in
the subjoined notice from the London New
Monthly Magazine.
" Dr. Walsh resided at Constantinople for se
veral years in the suite of the English Ambassa
dor, Lord Strangford; and as his Lordship is
known to have possessed more influence at the
Porte than any foreign minister of the last twen
ty years, our author had as ample moans of ac
quiring information as any European can possess
amongst a people that have an abhorrence to any
social intercourse, or domestic association with
infidels ; for all such are reciprocally infidels to
each other. This work, therefore, like almost
all others upon the same country, consists of
what msy be termed historical and public infor
mation. " Dr. Walsh gives a sketch of the memorable
struggle between the Greeks and Turks in Wala-
chia under Prince Ypsellanti ; and his whole ac
count of his journey through Transylvania and'
Hungary to Vienna is interesting. There is less
of the pedantry of connecting his narrative with
ancient authors, than we have observed in many
other travellers ; and there is less effort at pro
ducing effect by elaborate descriptions of scenery,
events and feelings. We have therefore, more
of solid information, and data of reflection ; and
our author, by his business-like, though not inele
gant style of description, contrives in a very short
space, to give his readers precise and accurate
ideas of whatever he wishes to impart. The
author has selected his objects of attention with
judgment, and he has described them with ability.
His work is in itself entertaining and mstr"'jve,
whilst it derives importance from its connection
with persons, events and regions, . involving the
fate of two geat empires J and which, in all pro-
bability, will at no distant period produco great
changes upon the character of all nations."
We learn that Messrs. Carey, Lea, & Carey
have nearly ready for publication the Atlantic
Souvenir tor 1829, and that in point of decora
tion it will be superior to any that have preceded
it. 1 he publishers, anxious te have all the im
pressions of equal excellence, have at great CX'
pense caused all the plates to be engraved ,upon
steel, by the first engravers, among whom are
Durand, Longacre, Ellis, Kearney, &c. In the
literary part of the work they have had the assis
tance ot several of the most eminent of our wn
tcrs. We have therefore good reason to presume
that its high character will be fully sustained by
this number. Nat. Uaz.
A literary cnterprize of considerable extent is
about to be undertaken at Boston. That ponu
lar German work, the Conversations Lexicon
is to be translated, enriched with new matter in
teresting to the American reader, and published
in tuts country. I he principal editor is Dv,
Lieber, of Berlin, who for some months past has
resiuuu in uusiun, ana wno is saia to De wen ni
ted for the task of superintending such a work.
His colleague, Mr. Wigglesworth, is a gentleman
ot various acquirements and great literary indus'
try. Several American writers of. established
reputation are, we learn, engaged to supply ad
ditional articles on biography, jurisprudence, &
the sciences. Messrs. G. & C. Carvill will
receive subscriptions for the work in this city.
The Conversations Lexicon is a great favorite
with the Germans, and with all scholars 'who
have made themselves acquainted with German
literature. It is a kind of encyclopedia of con
venient knowledge, a collection and summary of
the learning on all subjects of ordinary discussion
and application. In the departments of bio
graphy and history it is particularly full and cor
rect the theological articles are framed to suit
all parties, for on controverted points there is one
on each side of the question, written by persons
belonging to the different sects and the scien
tific articles not being abstrusely written, are for
that reason best adopted to the purposes of the
general reader. N. I . Ev. Post.

compiled with groat pare and industry. There
is an ingenious dissertation on the plan and inten

literature. lb.

TO THE PUBLIC.
HAVING been wantonly and unjustly assailed bv
one EDWIN BECTON, w ho hus resorted to mok
unworthy and disgraceful means to injure mv character.
a proper regard for public opinion induces me to make a
simple statement of facts, which is all that Is necessary to
repel his calumny w hich, where we are both known,
would be harmless.
In January 1823, I rented a piece of land of Becton,
ear his own residence.&faslthoucht was in th hnhit m"
friendly intercourse with him ; in July of the tame year,
I had the misfortune to lose a horse, and wa4 advised by
Becton to buy one which he described, belonging to Isaac
Hathaway, and mentioned what he thought would be tho
price ; I objected to the price as being more than I conic?
utibrd, and stated to him that a horse of a lower price
would suit me ; he strongly urged the policy of buying a
good horse, even at a high price, &c. nnd toluntariltt
proposed to sign with me a blank note, saying that after
llathaway and I had agreed on the price and the credit,
we could fill up tho note. I accordingly took tlie note
and went to Trenton, where I met a friend ("John Mor
ris) now dead, who told me decidedly tlie horse would
not suit me ; I returned home and burnt the note, and
when I next saw Becton, which was in a few days, I in
formed him of the fact: he seemed then perfectly satisfi
ed, and made no objections of any kind. More than a
a year afterwards, I concluded to leave his land, and re
moved to the plantation of tho Rev. L. D. Hatch ; Bec
ton wished me to continue on his land, but finding wt
could not agree, he became much enraged with me, and
bought up all the little claims against me in the neigh
bourhood ; upon which he immediately warranted me,
to oppress me with costs, and prevent, if possible, Inre--
sume, my removal. During the quarrel, he for the first
time since the transaction, expressed his dissatisfaction nt
my not returning'the blank note. Since then, the affair

reproached with his conduct towards me, which I pre
sume has excited his slumbering malice.
If he had had any honest fears about the note, and had
so expressed himself, I could have indemnified him a-
gainst it ; and if he can now induce any gentleman to be
lieve tliat he hns honest tears, I still will indemnity him.
I leave the affair to the judgment of the public : but in
charity, advise Becton the next time he wishes to appear
in public, to furnish himself with at least the shadow of a
fact. JAS. II FRESHWATER.

NOTICE.
THE Executors and Trustees of the Estate of MOSES
GRIFFIN, deceased, have hitherto been prevented
from proceeding to the execution of their Trust, inconse
quence of a suit in chancery on the part of the heirs,
bringing into question the legal validity of the Trust. The
suit was instituted shortly after the death of the Testator,
and a Decree of the Supreme Court est ablishing the Trust
made in June 1820 a hill of review ensued, which again
suspended the operations of the Trustees, until at the late
June Term, the Supreme Court pronounced a final De
cree, in affirmance of the original Decree, that is, decla
ring the Trust ereated by the will of their Testator a good
and valid Trust.
These impediments being now removed, the Trustees
are desirous, and intend forthwith to proceed to carry
into effect the laudable objects of the Trust reposed ill
thera ; and to this end All persons indebted to the Exe
cutors of Mosc3 Griffin as such, are requested to ray up
the interest in arrear on their respective debts, and to re
new their obligations for the principal, with such security
as the Executors mav apiirove of. AH persons failing in
a reasonable time after t nis publication, to comply w ith
this request, are hereby notified, that both the interest
and duty of the Executors will impose on them the neces
sity of putting the cjairas in a train of collection to o
succeeding County Court?.
