' Rumours are afloat,, and statements have appeared from various quarters, intimating. that Gen., Jackson is'about resigning his pretensions to the Presi dential chair; in . favor of , Mr." Adams, with. the -view 'of beiDg elected Vice -President under him. What -degree of credit is to be attached to this re port, we know not, but a circumstance 9trongly, indicative of such an event, has lately occureu at Washington City. The Washington Republican, a paper established by Mr. Calhoun, and which supported his cause, until e'en hope "was hopeless," abandoned his service so soon as the result of the convention meeting at Harrisburg,. was. known, and enlisted under the banners of the gallant General. In his service, Mr. Ajrz has continued ever since industri ously to labor, until convinced that the tide of the General's, popularity was ebbing much faster, than it flowed in, he also deserted him, in favor of Mr. Adams. The National Journal, a pa per devoted. to the Secretary of State's interest,-and established .to promote it, has been consolidated with the Repub lican under the former title, and its whole powers are to be exerted hcreaf- ter, miurthenng the, expectations ol Mr. Adams. Under the new arrange menf, it is impossible to say, as yet. who is to be considered Editor, though so far it is believed the Secretary of State himself has been chief contribu tor, occaionally assisted by Winian Edwards ! . .

Important Invention. The Norfolk Herald describes a machine invented by Mr. Charles Brodie of that, town, by hich the. workmen lately descended 13 feet under water, and re-placed a plank oh the bottom of the Delaware T4, whidi had rotted in consequence o the accidental removal of - the copper thereon, .at "the !-V time the-ship .was launched. : On the old plan, it is' said, the cost of repairing if, would have cost from 25 to-50,000 dollars.

The last National Intelligencer con- tains an interesting report of the Board of Visitors who attendeu.the eiamma- tion of the Cadets at West Point." They speak in the most flatteling terras of the general deportment of the young men, and of the proficiency which they liave acquired in their several departments. The military evolutions were also per? formed in a manner highly creditable to them and to the institution. Sever al resolutions were adopted by the board, and enquiry made into the state of the finances. No Cadet can hereafter be admitted into the Academy, but such as are between 15 and 18 years of age. The Board adjourned highly gratified and pleased with the examination. i . .

If ihe toasts given ' oh. the 4th July be a cnterion by which to determine the popularity of the respective candi dates jfor the 'Presidency, -we should say. that Mr. Crawford, is, beyond com parison, the MAN OF THE PEOPLE. We have already selected n.any toastsdrank in different parts of the Union, which are confirmatory of this fact. At no place however was the affection for Mr.' Crawford more signally manifested than at uoston in 3iassacnuseus. wnere a- mongtothers, were the following : The 4th of July, 1776: The dav of bold hearts(and ready hands When a new char ter wajj given to the new world ana man the monarch shrunk before the monarch man.

Upon in specting the margin, no less than t hir iteenjihips of war of different descrip tions were comprised in it. Crops. The late seasonable rains have revived the hopes and brightened the prospects of the farmers and the planters in this vicinity. We have conversed with several intelligent gen tlemen, and they all unite in j saying, that the fields generally never presented a more cheering aspect than isnow of fered to the view of the agricultural part of the community.

" Jlnrwer. . . We are prepr.red to give our opinion frankly ; and we are as positive as we can be of any thing not yet come to pass that the legislature which meets in Au gust, will adjourn without making any alteration to the law, ad agreeably to their original determination, will meet acrain in November : and that there is little doubt that Mr. Crawford will ob tain the 36 votes of this state. It is so considered by the friends of all the o ther candidates, and very nearly admit ted by them. In 1 8 days more all doubts will be settled JVaL. JJdv. , On Thursday last a pretty large and appnarently contented company passed through this place on their , way to the permanent station provided for them. Some of them tinneared to be in their winter clothing, but others were but thinly covered. They consisted of 150 head of sheep and lambs which were recruited in some ot the j upper coun ties of Georgia, and were o.i theic way to Mr. Breighthaupt's Sheep-Walk in S. Carolini, about 15 miles from this place, where they are in future to re side. There was considerable blatitig in the detachment, but ve have heard of no political divisions amongst them $ and we trust therefore that from ; their fleeces, a future manufacture may be produced, which the advocates of all the Presidential candidates may wear, with comfort to themselves and. credit to their country.-7srt Chron. The following, we have been inform ed are the particulars of ithe murder of -r r I m a James oione, in,. I wiggs couniy, men tioned in our last. It appears to have been one of the most deliberate and cold blooded we ever heard of. Slone was a young man, lately from N. Carolina, and bore a good character. He had been hired by Ray (the i murderer,) to work on his plantation.1 j A.bouf a week before the deed was committed, Ray and Slone had a small 'difference, at which time Raj cut a large stick,. and told a neighbor he intended ! to give Slone a beatinr WiUi it, They were afterwards apparently- friendly, and, on the 12th inSt. worked togetlier'till dinnerf-after d inner, v Raj ordered k Slone to leave him; to which he stated he had no ob- objectiorisf and, started v When he got to the gate, Kay catiea mm uacK, ana commenced with his club,-and immedt- atelv beat him v to death Ray then mounted his horse and rode oft 'and. we believe has hot since been heard bf. v- J;11) ssehgeK Mr. Gallatin. It is surprising.how soon,' in a nation which , augments . in numbers as rapidly "as this, even the most emixent. public , man may, live be yond the memory of those who are most active on tne scene ot iue,: wr. ual latin, for example, enjoys the respect and yenerati(n or all, men who were old enough' to-witness. the .faithful . ex ertion of; his splendid talents with the Republican party, and perhaps at the head of it, when it effected the Revolu tion of 1798-1800. But to the jpung-J er men, those, for instance, who, for the most part, control the. press of the country,, he is . comparatively little known. He was serving' his country before many of us were 'born,: when Republicanism was something more than a name, and under circumstances where mere professions were of little .value. He served in the Militia of the United States during our struggle for Nation al Independence. In the year 1789; hewas a member, of the Convention that, framed the Constitution oi Penn sylvania, i In the year 1790, he was a member ot the Legislature ol Pennsyl vania. In the year 1794, he was a Senator'of the United States from -tlie same State. In i795, he was a Mem ber of the House of Representatives 0f the united. States, n 1801 he-j-was appointed by Thomas Jefferson Secre- States. In 1813, he became Special Minister 'Plenipotentiary. tov the Con gress of Ghent, s and it is admitted by all those who assisted at these negotia tions, that j Mr. G. had an important agency in making: the Treaty of Peace. in loio, ne was appointed special .Mi nister Plenipotentiary to Great-Britain, In 1816, he became Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary to t ranee j in 1817, Special Minister Plenipotentiary to the Netherlands : and, in 1818, Special Minister Pleni potentiary to Great Britain. Thus, it may be seen that Mr. Gallatix ? has been constantly in the public service, f.ver since, these United States have been a nation. Hie eminent services that he has rendered are well known to his compeers, and, we trust, will be justly appreciated by his felmwcitir zens. Nat. Int. , ; - .

The French ministry, in the House of Peers, had been out-voted 6 a consi derable majority on a question relating to the 'finances. This vote had pro duced a redaction in the price of the rents, and given rise to a rumor 'that a new, ministry was to be formed. , Ip Liverpool, at the last dats, cotton was in lery brisk demand, but no advance in price had taken -place. v ; "Boil's London Weekly Messenger, of May 24, one of the most independent & candid papers of the British metropo lis, says, "Perhaps one third of the peo ple "the lower order") in this kingdom are in favour of republican principles, and do not scruple in private life to avow a decided preference for the con stitution of the United States." Mr. Hume has given notice that he shall. make amotion in the British Par Iiament on the lQth inst. with a view to restricting orjregulating impress ments. He said that the late practice had produced one war.' with America, and might if not corrected, produce ano- Iner. . - ' . The Evening Post of "JVetc -York has put forth a most singular document, in the form of a Russia State paper con cerning the affairs of Greece, of which strong doubts are entertained of its gen uineness.
