The President's Visit. The Nash
ville Banner of the 22(1 ult. says: The
reception of the President of the United
States on his visit to Nashville yesterday,
was all that his most ardent friends could
have desired. - It was unostentatious, but
cordial and spirited. An immense eon
course of gentlemen met him at the seat
of C'l. Love, about two miles from town,
whence, after partaking of the liberal
courtesy and hospitality of the proprie
tor, he proceeded, under the escort ar
ranged according to the judicious and
appropriate directions of the marshals, in
regular cavalcade, towards town. As
the procession approached, they were sa
luted with the discharge of cannon, and
on entering the town, advanced up Cher
ry street, through Spring and Spruce
itreets, and across the South, Field, to
Vauxhall Garden, where a great number
of Indies and gentlemen had previously
assembled. Here the President and his
suitors, consisting of his adopted son, his
Private Secretary George Breathitt, Esq.
Major Eaton, late Secretary of War, Go
vernor Carroll, President Lindslcy and
others, alighted, and, in the spacious
apartments of Mr. Decker, a free, hearty
and familiar interchange of civilities and
mutual congratulations took place. As
the President had expressly declined the
tendered civility of a public dinner, a col
lation otdy was provided, and the most
unceremonious, republican ami social en
joyment of the refreshment ensued.
At about 3 o'clock the President left
the Garden, and was escorted to the
Nashville Inn, and the festivities of the
day. were closed, at sundown, by a salute
of cannon. This morning, at an early
hour, the President returned, without pa
rade, to the Hermitage.

General Wool, Inspector General of
the United States army, who we 'believe
was sent to France on a public mi-sion,
has been most kindly received by the
French Government. The King shew
ed him marked attention. At the late
grand review of the National Guards and
Troops of the Line, where upwards of
0,000 men with 100 pieces of artillery,
were manoeuvred, being a more brilliant
parade that the preceding anniversary re
view in commemoration of the Revolu
tion in July, the General had the honor of
being one of his Majesty s suite, and fre
quently dined with him.
PORTUGAL.
Accounts from Portugal, arc to the
25th July, at which lime Admiral Sarto
rius was blockading Lisbon. An en
gagement took place on the 23d, at Fe
verias, a short distance from Oporto, in
which the troops of Don Pedro was suc
cessful. The engagement lasted 12
hours. It appears that Don Miguel had
pushed on all the troops he could com
mand from Lisbon and Coimbra, to the
amount of 12,500 men, and attempted to
take Don Pedro by surprise; but the lat
ter advanced from Oporto in good order,
and a regular battle took place, with the
result above stated. The ex-Emperor
returned to Oporto at night with 2000
prisoners, and the; trophies of his con
quest, and on Tuesday was again at the
head of his army, engaged in pursuing
the remnant of Don Miguel's force. The
deserters were numerous, and two regi
menis of cavalry are said to have come
over in a body to the ex-Emperor.
INDIA.
The Plague of Fiery Serpents. The
following is an extract of a letter dated
Bassorah, the 24th of August, 1831, and
regions of the globe has been visited by
a dreadful visitation of Providence. You
must have been, long before this, inform
ed of the many calamities that have be
fallen the devoted city of Bagdad and the
places adjacent to it. News has also
been received from Hanadan, or the an
cient Eebatana, of the occurrence of an
other natural calamity in that place. The
city is described to be literally infested
with a species of fiery serpents, the bite
of which is followed by immediate mad
ness, which in the course of a very short
time terminates in the death of the sufter
er. The streets of the town are said to
be choked with dead bodies, which are
fed upon by dogs and jackals! The iu-
naoitants are seized with consternation
and trepidation, not knowing where to
ily from the anger of the Almighty."
WEST INDIES.
A Jamaica paper of July 28, says:
We observe that the Agent for Dominica
has, at ihe instance of the Planters and
Merchants of that colony, tendered the
whole of the property and negroes pos-
esseu hy the white inhabitants, tor sale
to ihe British Government at less than
the original cost; considering it quite im
possible to reside in safety or comfort, on
property subjected to the vexatious inter-
terence and machinations of government
spies, who tamper with their rights and
annihilate their positive privileges. We
think it would be advisable for all the co
lonists of the British West Indies to fol
low this judicious example.

Land for Sale.
I OFFER FOR SALE,
S00 or 1000 Acres of Land,
"T being the Land on which I now live, situa
ted in ihe county of Warren, and immediately
between the towns of Halifax and Warrenton,
21 miles from the former, and 14 from the lat
ter mentioned places, which is quite a healthy
section of country, being well watered for man
or beast, and has upon it a small newly built
Dwelling House, with other necessary houses.
As it is presumed no person would purchase)
before viewing, it is deemed useless to say mora
than the Land in point of soil and production is
not inferior to any in the adjacent section of
country off from the river, and besides other con
veniences, its proximity to the Roanoke naviga
tion and entrance to the Virginia Rail Road,
should make it desirable with purchasers. As I
am prepared to meet the sacrifices necessary to
be made to effect a sale of Land, I have no doubt
purchasers would be pleased with my terms; I
invite all persons wishing to purchase to give me
an early call, as from delay a bargain may be
lost. I have other small parcels of Land in the
county of Warren 1 wish to sell also, a tract of
175 acres in the county of Granville, all of which
I will sell upon the most accommodating terms.
