THE WHIG CENTRAL COMMITTEE. The Central Whig Committee have issued their expose.their exposure more properly.their lamentable exposure, not of any crime or demerit in the man they have assailed, but of what, at a period of more calmness, some of them will look buck upon with regret and even shame; of an extravagance of assertion, an unfairness of inference, and fierceness of animosity in themselves, offensive to liberality, to justice, to humanity..A commentary upou a tithe of the examples furnished by this Committee, would require a volume; a few samples are selected to show with what qualification either as to fact or feeling, this Committee can ask the attention or the credence of their fellow-citizens. Amongst other instances as to facts, take the following ra reference to the power of the Federal Government over internal improvements, which it is roundly asserted by this Committee, that Mr. Van Buren 44 vdE'd for, in all the instances in which it was carried to'its farthest and worst extent." Could the writer or writers of this sentence, or those who have given it the sanction of their names, have been ignorant, that throughout his whole life, Mr. Van j Buren had in a single instance only, (that of the bill i-onnirtnfT I ho f'lnmhprl'inrl \ nccontoH in nnu .Vt.U. ...w -»/ -»» .V mode or degree, to sueli a power?.or that many years ago, long before he was thought of for the Presidency; I'st??'- before he was Secretary of State; nay, before the election of Gen. Jackson, he had on the floor of the Senate, drs- claimed that power in the General Government, end pronounced his own assent formerly yielded to the Cwin- berland road bill, to have been erroneous, and given irn- der an imperfect apprehension of the considerations involved in it? If the committee were ignorant of these tilings, that ignorance was itself cause sufficient for forbearance; if they were correctly informed, in what situation do they stand? Obnoxious to the charges of misrepresentation, with intent to mislead..Let no paltry subterfuge be attempted, by interpreting this assertion to mean, that in the instance of the Cumberland road, the icurst and most extreme, Mr. Van I?wren had supported the claim. The declaration of the Committee is framed to convey what it asserts, viz: that he had supported this usurpation in repeated and extreme cases; when these writers or signers knew, or should have known, that the very reverse was true: that he had countenanced the pretension once only; that years ago he had corj reeled his opinion, and had ever since, inflexibly denied Bgpffi. all such power to the General Government. Again: This Committee have asserted, "that so much was Mr. Van lluren the friend of the Bank, that he desired to transfer it bodily to his own Imperial City, until its doom was sealed by the people; then he cried out, unceasing ^hostility t.» u." There must be surely some strange mistake in this thing. The Committee cannot possibly have designed to impose upon the people the belief, that Mr. Van. Buren ever wrote, spoke or voted, pS.;: i 'in favor of the Bank, either at the time of its establishment, or at any stuge of its existence; or that he ever proposed or encouraged its removal to the city of New York. These charges have gone forth under the sanction of their names. They are utterly and absolutely denied; and one tittle of proof to sustain them is defied. They have been made, however, in the name of this Committee, and the fact imposes upon them one of two intti'V* dispensable obligations: Either to establish their truth, or, if unable to do this, to make to the people, who were intended to be influenced by them; and to thei ndividual against whom they iiave been preferred, the recantation Y.T;, kK x and apology whicn truth, justice and magnanimity inexH .// orably dictate. There can be no escape from these ob- ; 5 l- \ ligations: a just and intelligent people will not dispense with their fulfilment. In their assertions concerning ll>e commencement and v {ii ' ; cause of "Mr- Van Buren's opposition to the Bank. this committee are as unlucky, as they have been in as*' cribing to him a friendship for it at any period, or a wish to transfer it to New York; detested, accursed New York: Anathema viaranat/ia. 'Tis something trained at least, that these Whig worthies, in the name o? all the parly lU' "YS- *n l^'s Slate, (lor they are the accredited representatives wi Pli lhe whoIe Party») have at length admitted, that the people have pronounced and sealed the doom of the great Federal Bank. It must be exceedingly provoking to the Federal Whig managers, that the people will have me?, {;-!« .' mories, and will most rebeIltou6ly attempt to reflect and :£\ vj;' to reason now and then without leave.and will reaiein '.* 1 '<;> ber, that as long since as 1626, two years before General i'; f t Jackson's first.electioo, Mr. Van Buren, on the floor of the Senate, denounced the Bank and the power to s create it as fearful usurpations. Tfae^r will remember, too, that from the first moment General Jackson avowed his hostility to the Bank, but particularly when the grant of a new charter, and the eftmk! ra!ian of the old one (that clever distinction of Fcdederal-Whig ingenuity,) were pending before Congress, and throughout the fierce contest brought on by the removal of the depositee, the Bank Wings confessed, and Bunk Whigs in disguise, in and out of Congress, in full chorus with the corps of Bank-bought Ediiors, ceased not to affirm, that the Bank was the special darling of the people, their bounteous benefactor, and tbe indispenI sable guardian of the currency;* and great fiscal agent of j the nation: and that the House of Representatives, in I mean subservience to Gen Jackson, solely, in utter dis I regard of the popular voice, anu with inevitable ruin to j their country, were wickedly destroying this ixirrPKNo1 K.\r, PORK, AMI EKNCPICKNT WlllG INSTITUTION. What an inlertexture of shallow contradictions, and abj surdities have we here? Mr. Van Buren. though the j declared opponent of the Bank, in the Senate in 1S2G, is ! '"-Id forth as waitiriir to manifest his hostility until the late of lln* Hank was sealed by tlje Picon.k; and yet tiiis people are represented as the friends, the anxious friends of the Hank; unable by all their exertions to save it fimiii the dictation oj king Jndrew. Who does not remember the mock solemnity, hot reul profanity, with which Senator heigh commissioned to heaven the supplications of ruined traders, of thousands of all classes, and sexes, and ages, for imprecation upon the head <d him, who was "cursed with heart unknowing how to yield Who has forgotten tile pious Sabbath day speeches of Preston, Binney & Co., to excite the people to tumult and violence? Who. in line, has forgotten the parade in the Senate, by orators, Webster and others; of lengthened paper rolls, exhibited as the shrouds and winding sheets of liberty and happiness; all, all, butchered in the murderous assaults upon the beneficent, moral, meek, quiet and unolfeitding Hank ? The Whig Committee have further asserted, that "in his pifJ vute mind," Mr. Van Htireu "was opposed to 1 he removal of the Deposited, lut when the President ordered, he of course approved." Whatever degree ol extravagance might have been suspected in tins committee, nothing approaching this coulJ have been anticipated. As men possessing, several of them, Common sense ami experience, it was hardly to be suppored they would prefer against any man, an accusation containing in itself a plain admission, not only of their having no proof on which to rest it, but farther, that from the nature of things never could be proved. For what is thin accusation? Is it thai Mr. Van Huren bv word or act, ever indicated disapprobation of the removal of the l>e| posites? The very reverse of this, viz: that all his acts and words have approved that measure; but yet ins pujvate i'.iN-b has secretly to himself, and to himsrlj atone, contradicted all his words and deeds. The committee know his seciels, told in no one, and they order i- '.I .

The world, it appears, lias been hitherto egregiously deceived; lite Wing Committee are lite trxcniuaiciuns, and Air. Vail Ditren lias been wholly misnamed. This bold draft by the committee, upon public-credulity, is scarcely less offensive for the contempt of the popular understanding betrayed by it, than for its appeal to the worst passions of our nature.its endeavor to poison-the kindlier churilics, and to overthrow the testimonials of an'Ginblemished reputation, through the inIIuenee of a rankling prejudice. Of what avail are benevolence and lienor, all the social virtues; indeed, o| what value is public usefulness, if the reward which ought to wait on them ali.the cstcein'and confidence o! mankind . is to be sacrificed to suspicion, acknowledged to be destitute, necessarily destitute, of any foundation in fact? This committee must know, that, high as the best of tliein may -rank themselves, high as they may be placed by others, the private character of Mr. Van Buri n "would Ire bright, by the brightest and best of them. They doubtless know, that the microscopic scrutiny of party, has never been able to detect a spot on the fair face of that character; yet, in relatiyn to -its .possessor, the people are called on by the committee, to give sentence ol condemnation, for what themselves admit they do not, and never ean prove or know: some secret thovohl which the jaundiced minds of this committee think fit to impute to him. Let this committee be subjected to their own test. Suppose the best man amongst them to be accosted in the following manner: Sir, 1 have marked your walk in life from your youth. In all your conduct you have accpntled yoursell like an upright, amiable, and useful man. Do not, however, for that reason, imagine that you are to be accounted either honest, amiable, or useful: because, despite ol the evidences your life has authorized you to appeal to you are in your private mind a swindler, a gambler, an assassin.. How tbis committee would deem of such an apostrophe, can easily be inferred. Yet Ibis is precise ly the value of the argument (if so it may be calicd) by which they seek to intiueuce an enlightened and moral community.

Let it be remembered, that in August, a year ago, this city gave a majority of six hundred against the democratic candidates for Congress, and in favor of Tristnm Purges, who thanked God that he never had been a demociat. Please to bear in mind what 1 now say, that in November next, this city will give a majority of its voles for the Van Puren Electoral Ticket.

We are assured by many tlmt Mr. Mcllenry of Shelby, who is one of those that voted last session for the rescinding resolutions, is with e.s, as is also Mr. Smith of Wilcox. As it is said however, that Mr. Mcllenry voted for rescinding on the ground that the original nomination was extra legislative and improper, and Mr. Smith is very eagerly claimed by the Whigs, for their comfort and to make " assurance doubly suie," for the present, we surfvndei these gentlemen into their holy keeping. In the Senate all parlies, we believe, are satisfied there is a tie.leaving the nett Van Puren majority, on joint ballot, of eleven votes. We have said nothing about the popular volt as exhibited by the late elections. We are told, however, that it preponderated largely in favor of Mr. V. Huron.

(Extra from the office of the AiiHtdgceillc Standard.) Kmoar, Aug. 20, le'30.1 o'clock, 1'. M. The following letter was received by Express this morning, by bis Excellency Gov. Schley : PlNIIERTOW.N, August 19, IS3Q. His Excellency Got. Schley: Sir :.On Wednesday evening last, a camp of Indians was discovered by Messrs. P. R. Oliver and John Guy, back of Guy's plantation, and near the river, six miles below this place. News of the same was immediately communicated to the citizens of the neighborhood, and we succeeded in collecting a couipanv of thirty eight men by 10 o clock, the next morning. We proceeded to the Indian camp iwo detachments, each of us assuming the command of a detachment. Our party were so disposed, as to surround the camp; after effecting which, we.discovered that it was broken up, and the Indians dispersed in the direction for Florida. The trails were very dim, and artfully scattered for the purpose of deceiving their pursuers; but having some experienced trailers with us, we succeeded in trailing them, and after a ride of 12 miles through the pine woods and ponds,came up with them in ir win c.-unty, in no open piny woods country. As soou as we came in sight, our men were ordered to charge, which they did promptly and gallantly, raising at the same time, the war-whoop. The Indians, who were drawn up in a line, were so frightened, that they broke and run, not taking time and deliberation to bring their riHes to a level to bear upon us; they discharged their pieces at us, when we were in about 200 yaras of them, and before they had time to re-load, they were overhaulrd by our charge and 6»on despatched. After the ^ battle, which iaaled about 20 minutes, we went over the ground and found eleven men, and we regret to say, seven women, dead on the field. The women so resembled lite men in their dress, that we could not discriminate between ihein in the engagement. We took three women and two children prisoners; two of the women are badly wounded. The icsult of this engagement is, eigli' teen killed and five prisoners, comprising the whole party of the Indians, without any loss of killed or wounded on our part. The Indians were on fool, and had little or nothing with them except their guns and munitions of war. We have the prisoners with us, and are at a loss to know what to do with litem. We wish your Excellency would infortn us what disposition to make of litem. Respectfully, vour obedient servants, JAMES GAY, SI'EAGER RILEY. We have conversed with i\lr. Spencer Rilev, who is j now in our town, lie slates that he had ait encounter j with the leader of the Indians during the battle, and killed and scalped him with his own hands. The scalp we have seen. He had shot hi in with buckshot in the back; the Indian in the huiryol're loading bis rifle, had put down the ball without powder. Mr. Riley broke his double barrel gun to pieces over Itiitt, and seizing the Indian's rifle, wrested it front him. and at lite second blow beat out his btain-.

We had several hard races and some Indians were taken, hut they will nut fight the Tennesseeans.the name is enough lor them. We waded swamps for four days up tu our waists in water. The men whom I have the honor to command were foremost in the pursuit,and at one time the guides fired on a party of Indians; on which my men rushed ahead like tigeis, through cane-brakes and swamps, as far as horsemen could penetrate : I then dismounted, and calling on the men to follow, we ran them five miles through creeks and cane without ovrrj taking them.

The Texas Telegraph, of the 2d August, contains the following paragraph: " The consummation so devoutly to be wislird, ia nr- j rived ; in the splendid intelligence of the recognition of our independence, by the sanction of President Jackson to the bill passed on Hint subject, in the Congress of; the United States.

Bv the following editorial article, which an obliging correspondent lias translated for lis from the supplement to the Semunario, or Weekly Gazette of Gauteniala. it will be seen that Mexico is hilly employed without a war with the U. S. Rebellion in Texas, revolution at iioiue, and an extreme quarrel on her south-eastern borders, fur- nisli abundant occupation fur the military and financial talents of that ill-fated country. We sincerely lejuice that she is not to be subjected to the additional burden of doing battle with us for her territorial lights. 4i It is to be observed," premises our correspondent, "that there are existing differences between the Ilepub- lie of Central Arneiica and that of Mexico, respecting the District of Soconusco, claimed by both powers, that negotiations have been tried in vain, and that, but for the insurrection of Texas, the two Republics might be at this time at war with each other.".A'ut. Guzctic. Translation..It is impossible to foresee tne results of the events which have lately taken place in the Republic of Mexico. £>Tlie Mexican Government has decreed that the war should be continued. The honor of that Government certainly required that something should he done to gloss over the disgrace which they have experienced; but it will hardly be possible to guard effectually ngainst the disadvantages that necessarily follow from what has lately happened. Santa Anna has acted in opposition to moral principle! He has ordered to be shot, in cold blood, four hundred prisoners; he is now himself a prisoner with other Generals and officers, and he is in fear of tlie fate that may be his portion, if hostilities should be renewed. What will become of Texas? They at first declared themselves for the Federal Constitution of 152-4, to which liiey iiad sworn fidelity, now, perhaps, a dismemberment will take place, which might be neutralized, by a coinpromise which should restore the federal system, or by a combination with other Mexican Stales, to foim themselves into a free and independent Government, because Mexico eaii never be a truly Republican Slate, under the dominion of an army and an intolerant priesthood. Central America also will feel the effects of these events. The well known design to make war against this Republic, which lias been suggested by the restless amb lion of the clergy, to injure a ueighbc r which isjad van ciug quietly and litinly in the spirit oKthe age. and by the wish to divert the attention of the Mexican people from their internal politics, and to give employment to the army that was to have effected itie conquest ol Texas; that design, we say, cannot now be carried into effect. Mexico will now feel how painful and mortifying it is to see one of its provinces revolted ugain.st her, even though the thing may be colored by high llown language and pompous decrees. The injustice and usurpations of nations seldom fail to produce events of which they cannot complain, without admitting the justice of the claims of other nations against tliciu. "la"f borum" franck." new York, Sept. 5..The packet ship Charles Carroll, Capl. Lee, arrived yesterday from Havre. We have received by her, I'aris and Havre papers to the 2">:li July, containing intelligence two days later from the French "I*" «b.-in hail before reached us. \\ c annex a letter from our I'.iris correspondent, subsequent to the date of which we find an annunciation in the Monitcur to the following eifrcl: "The Minis lers assembled at the house of the president of the Council. They afterwards went to the King at Nriiilly. Jt was decided that no review should lake plaee on the 2.')th July." 'J his measure appears to have been adopted in consequence of serious apprehensions that another attempt would lie made on the life of the King at the review, with which the fetes usually given in commemoration of the revolution of July, were to immence. All Paris indeed seems in a slate of gr at agitation. The Correspondent of the Journal tin llurn. says: " One would suppose that political exasperation, which had slumbered for a year past, has revived with all its former fury and vengeance. It is whispered that a vast conspiracy has been discovered, that many hundred guilty or suspected persons have been arrested, and that lists of names of a still greater number have been seized, arms, it is said, have, been found, prisons have been opened ut Doullens and other places, that the military are deeply involved, and tiiat dark projects were on Idol lor the so lemnity of the 2:)ih of July, which have been happily discovered. This much is certain, that the King. M. de Thiets and M. do Talleyrand, have returned to I'.uis: that the review of the 211th is countermanded, and that tlie alcove constructed around the Triumphal Arch has been removed. Vague rumors are in circulation of a vast conspiracy, the ramifications of which extend to Lyons, as well as to several regiments of the Line. Nothing less is spoken of than a Society under lite title of . Jreaders of .'jitilmiail. ' The King who has always shown himself so courageous and so politic, consented with difficulty to countermand the review of the 2llth. It required all the influence of M. de iMontalivet. his constant friend, to induce hint to slop the preparations for the fete and projected review." 'M... I ......./ ./.. /it,,, ,,rirni nf tlif. irnveriimeill. 1lir |(l( f un 3 ; contains Hie following <in this subject, which evidently comes from an ollicia) source: " .Ministers, after having fully deli hern ted, have determined to adjourn the Review which was to take place on the z2;'lit July. The reasons are asked, as if all men of sense and probity will not have perceived litem. But as it is desirtd, we will give the explanation necessary, observing, however, that reserve which is proper. ' In the first place, it is not true, that the diplomatic corps have taken alarm at the ioau.-r oration of a monument which commemorates our victories. .Nor is it true, that the government apprehended any movement of the National Guard. The diplomatic body has said nothing, insinuated nothing. One must be completely ignorant of the relations existing between nations to entertain such a supposition. "livery nation celebrates the triumph of its arms without others having any tight to say aught against it.. W-e have erected a statue to Napoleon without any person having dreamed of complaining. The supposition is therefore puerile. " As to a movement of the National Guard, it is more improbable titan ever Men's minda are at this day no longer perverted with those party feelings which give 'ise to improper conduct. An opposition paper shews this with much good sense. " Tire King had to expect from the National Guard, nothing hut demonstrations of devotion and attachment it required important causes to deprive him of them. It is now projwr to slate litem with candour. Information of a serious character, and from numerous sources, prescribed to government the utmost prudence. "The King lows the National Guard, and is beloved by them, i'lieir acclamations recall to him the national will which decreed to him the crown. Jo its ranks he would have nothing to fear from an army, hut the odious cm tuies to whose fury lie is ex post d. have no army, and have therefore recours e to crime. Dangerous projects were apprehended. ' Make them known, it is sail, hut it should he recollected, that we have no right toencroacli on the administration of the laws nor render vain the researches of Government by divulging them, and' that in such cases, a Government can neither say wlmt it knows nor what it SUSpectS. "\ou spread, it is added, inquietude throughout the country. No doubt, but we answer by the following question: Ought we, to avoid exciting uneasiness, risk the possibility of a catastrophe? "Besides, the extentof tins uneasiness on«riit to be con- ei lie rid. The nation knows well lliat it is not a few scoundrels that will prevail against its irrevocable will.. At Paris and at Lyons they endeavored to reduce us to anarchy with arms in their hands and were conquered, and it is on that account they have converted themselves into assassins. A party which has recourse to such means is forever lost. It consists of a few men, arrived at the last stage of desperation. Continual watching, time and the public horror will convince them of their weakness. In tiie mean time, prudence is a duty ; it is particularly so for those men who hold the reins of Government and who hear in the eyes of France and the world, an immense responsibility. "The Ministers who carne to the resolution contained in the Moniteur, are responsible. They know it. and will he ready, when the time comes, to answer for their actions. In the meantime, it will lie admitted, that they are more aide, than those who speak so lightly, to decide the question which since yesterday has been discussed in the public papers." M. Armani! Carrel, who by the last accounts, we learned was wounded in a duel with M. Girarchn, died in Paris on the il4lh July. This event has excited a great sensation in Paris. M. Carrel has of late years aitraded much attention as a public writer.. lie was chief editor of the Paris paper, Lc .Vational, which post he assumed when its former editors. Messrs. Thiers and Mignel, were appointed to high o.'Kccs under the government. On quitting the Military School, he entered a regiment of the line, and became involved in a conspiracy against the Bourbons, known in Fiance by Lhe name of 44 the conspiracy of liefort." 11 is devotion to liberal principles subsequently took him to Spain, where he served under Mina, and there capitulated In the French army, under the Duke of Angouleine. lie was then twice tried by a court martial, and twice condemned to death; but the sentences were quashed for some informality, and altera year's imprisonment he was released. A short time since he was severely wounded in a duel, hut recovered: and if our recollection serves us right, has had two or three other a flairs of honor, always connected, however, with his opinions. The accounts from Spain continue more and more unfavorable to the cause of the Queen. (From the A'. Y. Express, of September o.) SEVEN DAYS LATER. The London packet ship Giadiator, Captain Briton, arrived at quarantine last night ab'Mil 11 o'clock. Our news boat brought us full lites of London papers up to August 1st, and Paris ui.d Liverpool of Saturday, 30th July, and news from Madrid up to the 22d July. The news from England is for the most part unimportant. The Irish Church Bill is still the subject under discussion in all of the London papers. In Paris, says the Times, only three Paris papers were published on Friday, ami as many appeared ori Saturday, Owing lo the celebration of the " three days." The fetes appear to have excited less interest than on the occasion of any preceding celebration. It appears that under its present Government, France is running a rapid career of prosperity, and that while the material comforts of the people are increased, their progress in instruction is equally striking. L)k.vtit or Jlu.

But what said j the Baltimore Chronicle (another Whig) on the very # morning of the Election: 44 The enthusiasm exhibited by the Whigs at their recent meetings has infused new energy and inspired universal confidence in our ranks. The assemblages have been numerous and animated, as I in the days ut lc'IH, when, at the rallying cry of their country, they met as n grand committee of vigilance and safety, to take into their keeping the interests and honor of their country." Aud yet with all this enthusiasm, they are beaten in Baltimore by the startling majority of 1041..And what said the same Chronicle on the Friday before the Election ? It offers a "coup tl'vcil of lit* : counties".$nd begins with this tlourisii of trumpets: "Our advices from the counties of this State leave no room to fear that the Whig Electors will not be chosen in a large majority of them.".And amid its other hurrahs, it says : ' From the great county of Frederick, we have assurances that leave us nothing to apprehend..

In Muntcomlrv, Jinnc .drun del, IT. inch Gf.orur's, Cuaiills, Calvert and St. Mary's,and the city vf .duna putis, the ascendancy of the Whig cause will, if the least reliance can be placed upon indications heretofore found infallible, be triumphantly maintained. .

POLITICALr' ? j(From the Petersburg Constellation.)THE WHIG CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

The Central Whig Committee have issued their expose.theirexposure more properly.their lamentable exposure,not of any crime or demerit in the man they haveassailed, but of what, at a period of more calmness, someof them will look buck upon with regret and even shame;of an extravagance of assertion, an unfairness of inference,and fierceness of animosity in themselves, offensiveto liberality, to justice, to humanity..A commentaryupou a tithe of the examples furnished by this Committee,would require a volume; a few samples are selectedto show with what qualification either as to fact or feeling,this Committee can ask the attention or the credenceof their fellow-citizens. Amongst other instances as tofacts, take the following ra reference to the power ofthe Federal Government over internal improvements,which it is roundly asserted by this Committee, thatMr. Van Buren 44 vdE'd for, in all the instances inwhich it was carried to'its farthest and worst extent."Could the writer or writers of this sentence, or thosewho have given it the sanction of their names, havebeen ignorant, that throughout his whole life, Mr. Van

j Buren had in a single instance only, (that of the billi-onnirtnfT I ho f'lnmhprl'inrl \ nccontoH in nnu.Vt.U. ...w -»/ -»» - « .V

mode or degree, to sueli a power?.or that many yearsago, long before he was thought of for the Presidency;

I'st??'- before he was Secretary of State; nay, before the electionof Gen. Jackson, he had on the floor of the Senate, drs-claimed that power in the General Government, endpronounced his own assent formerly yielded to the Cwin-berland road bill, to have been erroneous, and given irn-

der an imperfect apprehension of the considerations involvedin it? If the committee were ignorant of thesetilings, that ignorance was itself cause sufficient for forbearance;if they were correctly informed, in what situationdo they stand? Obnoxious to the charges of misrepresentation,with intent to mislead..Let no paltrysubterfuge be attempted, by interpreting this assertion tomean, that in the instance of the Cumberland road, theicurst and most extreme, Mr. Van I?wren had supportedthe claim. The declaration of the Committee is framedto convey what it asserts, viz: that he had supportedthis usurpation in repeated and extreme cases; whenthese writers or signers knew, or should have known,that the very reverse was true: that he had countenancedthe pretension once only; that years ago he had corjreeled his opinion, and had ever since, inflexibly denied

Bgpffi. all such power to the General Government.Again: This Committee have asserted, "that so much

was Mr. Van lluren the friend of the Bank, that he desiredto transfer it bodily to his own Imperial City, untilits doom was sealed by the people; then he cried out, unceasing^hostility t.» u." There must be surely somestrange mistake in this thing. The Committee cannotpossibly have designed to impose upon the people thebelief, that Mr. Van. Buren ever wrote, spoke or voted,pS.;: i 'in favor of the Bank, either at the time of its establishment,or at any stuge of its existence; or that he everproposed or encouraged its removal to the city of NewYork. These charges have gone forth under the sanctionof their names. They are utterly and absolutelydenied; and one tittle of proof to sustain them is defied.They have been made, however, in the name of this Committee,and the fact imposes upon them one of two intti'V*dispensable obligations: Either to establish their truth,or, if unable to do this, to make to the people, who wereintended to be influenced by them; and to thei ndividualagainst whom they iiave been preferred, the recantation

Y.T;, kK x and apology whicn truth, justice and magnanimity inexH.// orably dictate. There can be no escape from these ob-; 5 l- \ ligations: a just and intelligent people will not dispense

with their fulfilment.In their assertions concerning ll>e commencement and

v {ii '

; cause of "Mr- Van Buren's opposition to the Bank.this committee are as unlucky, as they have been in as*'cribing to him a friendship for it at any period, or a wishto transfer it to New York; detested, accursed New York:Anathema viaranat/ia. 'Tis something trained at least,that these Whig worthies, in the name o? all the parlylU' "YS- *n l^'s Slate, (lor they are the accredited representatives

wi Pli lhe whoIe Party») have at length admitted, that thepeople have pronounced and sealed the doom of the greatFederal Bank. It must be exceedingly provoking to theFederal Whig managers, that the people will have me?,{;-!« .' mories, and will most rebeIltou6ly attempt to reflect and

:£\ vj;' to reason now and then without leave.and will reaiein '.* 1'<;> ber, that as long since as 1626, two years before Generali'; f t Jackson's first.electioo, Mr. Van Buren, on the floor of

the Senate, denounced the Bank and the power to

s create it as fearful usurpations. Tfae^r will remember,too, that from the first moment General Jacksonavowed his hostility to the Bank, but particularlywhen the grant of a new charter, and the eftmk!

ra!ian of the old one (that clever distinction of Fcdederal-Whigingenuity,) were pending before Congress,and throughout the fierce contest brought on by the removalof the depositee, the Bank Wings confessed, and

Bunk Whigs in disguise, in and out of Congress, in full

chorus with the corps of Bank-bought Ediiors, ceased

not to affirm, that the Bank was the special darling of

the people, their bounteous benefactor, and tbe indispenIsable guardian of the currency;* and great fiscal agent of

j the nation: and that the House of Representatives, in

I mean subservience to Gen Jackson, solely, in utter dis

I regard of the popular voice, anu with inevitable ruin to

j their country, were wickedly destroying this ixirrPKNo1K.\r, PORK, AMI EKNCPICKNT WlllG INSTITUTION.

What an inlertexture of shallow contradictions, and abjsurdities have we here? Mr. Van Buren. though the

j declared opponent of the Bank, in the Senate in 1S2G, is! '"-Id forth as waitiriir to manifest his hostility until the

late of lln* Hank was sealed by tlje Picon.k; and yettiiis people are represented as the friends, the anxiousfriends ofthe Hank; unable by all their exertions to save

it fimiii the dictation oj king Jndrew. Who does not rememberthe mock solemnity, hot reul profanity, withwhich Senator heigh commissioned to heaven the supplicationsof ruined traders, of thousands of all classes,and sexes, and ages, for imprecation upon the head <d him,who was "cursed with heart unknowing how to yieldWho has forgotten tile pious Sabbath day speeches of

Preston, Binney & Co., to excite the people to tumultand violence? Who. in line, has forgotten the paradein the Senate, by orators, Webster and others; of lengthenedpaper rolls, exhibited as the shrouds and windingsheets of liberty and happiness; all, all, butcheredin the murderous assaults upon the beneficent, moral,meek, quiet and unolfeitding Hank ? The WhigCommittee have further asserted, that "in his pifJvute mind," Mr. Van Htireu "was opposed to 1 heremoval of the Deposited, lut when the Presidentordered, he of course approved." Whatever degree ol

extravagance might have been suspected in tins committee,nothing approaching this coulJ have been anticipated.As men possessing, several of them, Common

sense ami experience, it was hardly to be suppored theywould prefer against any man, an accusation containingin itself a plain admission, not only of their havingno proof on which to rest it, but farther, that from thenature of things never could be proved. For what is thinaccusation? Is it thai Mr. Van Huren bv word or act,ever indicated disapprobation of the removal of the l>e|posites? The very reverse of this, viz: that all his acts

and words have approved that measure; but yet ins

pujvate i'.iN-b has secretly to himself, and to himsrljatone, contradicted all his words and deeds. The committeeknow his seciels, told in no one, and they order

lite trxcniuaiciuns, and Air. Vail Ditren lias been whollymisnamed. This bold draft by the committee, upon public-credulity,is scarcely less offensive for the contemptof the popular understanding betrayed by it, than for itsappeal to the worst passions of our nature.its endeavorto poison-the kindlier churilics, and to overthrow the testimonialsof an'Ginblemished reputation, through the inIIueneeof a rankling prejudice. Of what avail are benevolenceand lienor, all the social virtues; indeed, o|what value is public usefulness, if the reward whichought to wait on them ali.the cstcein'and confidence o!mankind. is to be sacrificed to suspicion, acknowledgedto be destitute, necessarily destitute, of any foundationin fact? This committee must know, that, high as thebest of tliein may -rank themselves, high as they maybe placed by others, the private character of Mr.Van Buri n "would Ire bright, by the brightest andbest of them. They doubtless know, that the microscopicscrutiny of party, has never been able to detecta spot on the fair face of that character; yet,in relatiyn to -its .possessor, the people are called on

by the committee, to give sentence ol condemnation, forwhat themselves admit they do not, and never ean proveor know: some secret thovohl which the jaundiced mindsof this committee think fit to impute to him. Let thiscommittee be subjected to their own test. Suppose thebest man amongst them to be accosted in the followingmanner: Sir, 1 have marked your walk in life from youryouth. In all your conduct you have accpntled yourselllike an upright, amiable, and useful man. Do not, however,for that reason, imagine that you are to be accountedeither honest, amiable, or useful: because, despite olthe evidences your life has authorized you to appeal to

you are in your private mind a swindler, a gambler, an

assassin.. How tbis committee would deem of such an

apostrophe, can easily be inferred. Yet Ibis is precisely the value of the argument (if so it may be calicd) bywhich they seek to intiueuce an enlightened and moralcommunity. JUSTICE.

RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.Extract of a litltr to the Editor, dated

cracy is here triumphant, and as I truly believe, at thislime more so than in any other Slate in the Union.

Whiggecy, so called, hardly dares to show its head.the 'floods have come upon it, and the fountains of thejrrpat deep seem to have been broken up. In the aristocraticcity of Providence, with its twenty banks, anc

its Air Biddies agency, we have had a signal triumphThat city lias returned to the next Legislaiure four men

who are thoroughly anti bank men; one of whom, Mr,John H. Clark, is among the most distinguished and ablemen of this State, and is an ardent supporter of Mr. V.Btiren for the Presidency. Let it be remembered, thatin August, a year ago, this city gave a majority of sixhundred against the democratic candidates for Congress,and in favor of Tristnm Purges, who thanked God thathe never had been a demociat. Please to bear in mindwhat 1 now say, that in November next, this city willgive a majority of its voles for the Van Puren ElectoralTicket.

" The decisive course of this State will have its influenceupon the States adjoining us, and you may, I think,rest assured that Massachusetts will follow the examplewhich Iter little sister Rhode Island will now set her..1 am no prophet, but' nous rcrruns.' ".Gluhc.

THE ELECTION.Mocii.k, August 24.

We claim, it will be seen, a clear majority of Germin the House of Representatives. We are assured bymany tlmt Mr. Mcllenry of Shelby, who is one of thosethat voted last session for the rescinding resolutions, iswith e.s, as is also Mr. Smith of Wilcox. As it is saidhowever, that Mr. Mcllenry voted for rescinding onthe ground that the original nomination was extra legislativeand improper, and Mr. Smith is very eagerlyclaimed by the Whigs, for their comfort and to make" assurance doubly suie," for the present, we surfvndeithese gentlemen into their holy keeping. In the Senateall parlies, we believe, are satisfied there is a tie.leavingthe nett Van Puren majority, on joint ballot, of elevenvotes. We have said nothing about the popular voltas exhibited by the late elections. We are told, however,that it preponderated largely in favor of Mr. V. Huron.Let onr friends shroud then give themselves tin

uneasiness about Alabama. She will be found in November-,where she ever has been, in the fiivl rank ofihedemocratic States of the Union.. Commercial Register.Concerning the prospects in Ohio, a friend has placed

in our hands a letter from an intelligent citizen of Columbus,from which we make tiic following extract:' Ohio we regard as safe. 1 have read letters to our

(Extra from the office of the AiiHtdgceillc Standard.)Kmoar, Aug. 20, le'30.1 o'clock, 1'. M.

The following letter was received by Express thismorning, by bis Excellency Gov. Schley :

PlNIIERTOW.N, August 19, IS3Q.His Excellency Got. Schley:Sir :.On Wednesday evening last, a camp of Indianswas discovered by Messrs. P. R. Oliver and JohnGuy, back of Guy's plantation, and near the river, sixmiles below this place. News of the same was immediatelycommunicated to the citizens of the neighborhood,and we succeeded in collecting a couipanv of thirty eightmen by 10 o clock, the next morning. We proceededto the Indian camp i« iwo detachments, each of us assumingthe command of a detachment. Our party wereso disposed, as to surround the camp; after effectingwhich, we.discovered that it was broken up, and the Indiansdispersed in the direction for Florida. The trailswere very dim, and artfully scattered for the purposeof deceiving their pursuers; but having some experiencedtrailers with us, we succeeded in trailing them,and after a ride of 12 miles through the pine woods andponds,came up with them in ir win c.-unty, in no open pinywoods country. As soou as we came in sight, our menwere ordered to charge, which they did promptly andgallantly, raising at the same time, the war-whoop. TheIndians, who were drawn up in a line, were so frightened,that they broke and run, not taking time and deliberationto bring their riHes to a level to bear upon us; they dischargedtheir pieces at us, when we were in about 200 yarasof them, and before they had time to re-load, they were

overhaulrd by our charge and 6»on despatched. After the ^battle, which iaaled about 20 minutes, we went over the

ground and found eleven men, and we regret to say, sevenwomen, dead on the field. The women so resembledlite men in their dress, that we could not discriminatebetween ihein in the engagement. We took three womenand two children prisoners; two of the women are

badly wounded. The icsult of this engagement is, eigli'teen killed and five prisoners, comprising the whole partyof the Indians, without any loss of killed or wounded on

our part. The Indians were on fool, and had little or

nothing with them except their guns and munitions of

war. We have the prisoners with us, and are at a loss to

know what to do with litem.We wish your Excellency would infortn us what dispositionto make of litem.

Respectfully, vour obedient servants,JAMES GAY,SI'EAGER RILEY.

We have conversed with i\lr. Spencer Rilev, who is jnow in our town, lie slates that he had ait encounter

j with the leader of the Indians during the battle, andkilled and scalped him with his own hands. The scalpwe have seen. He had shot hi in with buckshot in theback; the Indian in the huiryol're loading bis rifle, hadput down the ball without powder. Mr. Riley broke hisdouble barrel gun to pieces over Itiitt, and seizing theIndian's rifle, wrested it front him. and at lite secondblow beat out his btain-.From the Volunteers..A friend has favored us

with a letter from C'npt. JosKnits C. Lf.ake, of theState Guaids ol this place, to his Mother, from whichwe take the following extract:

' Fort Mitchi-.ll, Ala., Aug. 10.U\. litiust returned from Cowptra Swamp, after

five days' chase ol the Indians, without having any bat-tic. We had several hard races and some Indians were

taken, hut they will nut fight the Tennesseeans.thename is enough lor them. We waded swamps for fourdays up tu our waists in water. The men whom I havethe honor to command were foremost in the pursuit,and at

one time the guides fired on a party of Indians; on which

my men rushed ahead like tigeis, through cane-brakesand swamps, as far as horsemen could penetrate : I thendismounted, and calling on the men to follow, we ran

them five miles through creeks and cane without ovrrjtaking them. The luligue and hardships a soldier liasto undergo are easier imagined than expressed."

dividing themselves into small parties of from ten to fitlyin nituiTier, in order to elude the vigilance of the Georgiatroops, and make good their escape to Florida,wherethey hope to buttle to better advantage. Hundreds, we

may say, have already made their way to the Seininoles,wln re, prompted by the almost universal success of thut

j nation, and in conjunction with theui, they will make a

bold and daring stand.j A gentleman recently from Hamilton county, informs

us that bodies of Indians, from ten to sixty in a gang, are

continually passing down; and when interrupted by thewhites hastily collected together, fly to a hammock, anddare them to come in.. floridtun.

(from the Charleston Courier, August .'11 )Powell Rkatl.v.We have been politely furnished

by Gen. Kuslis, with the following letter for publication,j containing an account of the recent battle with the In- jM dians in Florida, of which we gave the particulars yes-

terday: Sr. Auclstixe, (L. F.,) August "Jl

j " Sin.Our troops have had another battle with the jIndians, and 1 have tlie satisfaction to state, that theyconducted themselves on litis occasion vvilli their accus- Ilomed intrepidity and energy, it seems that Major 1

I'ierce, commanding at .Micanopy, suspected that there |were Indians lurking about Camp Drane. lie therefore jdetermined to undertake an expedition against them..for this purpose lie marched at 2 o'clock on the morn-

ing of the ilst, with lit) mounted men. and a field piece,Oh men commanded by Cnpl. Childs, of the 3d Artillery,and Lieut. Spaulditig, of the Dr.igoons.tilty men l»y |

| Lieuts. Irwin and Herbert, of tlie 1st Artillery. lie ar-

| rived at Fort Drane about sunrise, attacked tlie Indians, jwho proved to he numerous, say 300 Miccasttcky Indians,/tended by IJuwell. Lieutenants Irwin and Herbert on

the tight. Capl. Childs and Lieut. Spaiihling on the leli,the Arliilery in the centre, commanded by Lit-ul. I'iekeil.Surgeons Tripler and Berry accompanied I lie expedition.All attacked them with great vigor and spirit. It is evifj dent that l'owell was either taken by surprise or outi! getitrailed, as lie lost 5 men before a rifle was fired on

his side, 'l he Indians woo driven into a dense amiextensive hammock, three quarters of a utile, and tiietroops, in a hurried passage over the field, counted tendead.

} "This was a well contested engagement, tlie Indiansfighting with the most detomined bravery for upwards

1 ol an hour. The recesses into which the Indians retiredL could not be penetrated by Maj. Farce's exhausted and

interior force. He therefore marched his detachmentI back to Micanopy, leaving no killed or wounded o.i the

field."Our loss in killed and wounded is as follows :

Killed l..Sykes,of *0.'company, 1st Artillery.Wounded 10.. Ol" whom Lieut. Bells (Adjutant) is

i one, being slightly wounded in the thigh," The officers and men all justified the most sanguine

expectations entertained of them, and merit the highest! praise ti.r theirgaikintry and enterprise.

Jackson, a wagon master, well acquainted with thelocalities of Fort Drane, volunteered his services as a

f guide on the inarch, and, as a soldier in the engagement,behaved with distinguished bravery, was twice severely

I wounded, and lost a valuable horse. It is hoped he willbe liberally rewaided, as lie deserves to be.

j " J ought to observe that none of the w ounds are con-

sidered dangerous."Tlie Indians, it appears, bad erected a village'at Fort

Drane, and were living with their families."1 hove collected the foregoing tacts from the official

j reports, and if" tliev appear worthy of being made knownto the public, 1 have no objection to illicit* insertion inone ul the journals. Yours,

Ti xas..The New Orleans American, evening of the18tlt ult., contains several items of information in relti;lion to Texas, the adoption of the constitution, «Gc. Wegive the following extracts:.The first Monday in September has been appointed

iiy the President with the consent of Council, Ibr theelection of President, Vice President, Senators, and Repjresetitalives to Congress. The number of Reptcsenta-lives is 32; Senators 14.

Congress was to meet on the first Monday in Octoberin the town of Columbia. The army of 2,200 strong isat Goiel, near Copano; its numbers have been cutisid-icrably reduced in consequence of many of the Texianshaving returned to the cultivation of their farina. It isunderstood that the expedition to Matamorns has beenabandoned, and thus there is no prospect of a meetingof the two armies until winter. Santa A nun has beensent to the plantation of Col. Phelps, under a strongguard.The Texas Telegraph, of the 2d August, contains the

following paragraph:" The consummation so devoutly to be wislird, ia nr- jrived ; in the splendid intelligence of the recognition of

our independence, by the sanction of President Jacksonto the bill passed on Hint subject, in the Congress of;the United States. Let the gratitude of Texas he ex-

cited by litis proof of maternal regard from her naturaland political mother."..V. Y. Express.Am kok Texas..The Vicksburg Register slates that

Genera! Duolnp, of Tennessee, is about to proceed toTexas with THREE THOUSAND men. 'i lie whole]corps are now at Memphis. Every man is completelyarmed, the corps having been originally raised for theFlorida war. This force, in addition to liial already inTexas, we have no doubt, will be able to carry everythingbefore it.

MEXICO.Bv the following editorial article, which an obliging

correspondent lias translated for lis from the supplementto the Semunario, or Weekly Gazette of Gauteniala. itwill be seen that Mexico is hilly employed without a war

with the U. S. Rebellion in Texas, revolution at iioiue,and an extreme quarrel on her south-eastern borders, fur-nisli abundant occupation fur the military and financialtalents of that ill-fated country. We sincerely lejuicethat she is not to be subjected to the additional burdenof doing battle with us for her territorial lights.

4i It is to be observed," premises our correspondent,"that there are existing differences between the Ilepub-lie of Central Arneiica and that of Mexico, respectingthe District of Soconusco, claimed by both powers, thatnegotiations have been tried in vain, and that, but forthe insurrection of Texas, the two Republics might beat this time at war with each other.".A'ut. Guzctic.

Translation..It is impossible to foresee tne results ofthe events which have lately taken place in the Republicof Mexico.£>Tlie Mexican Government has decreed that the war

should be continued. The honor of that Governmentcertainly required that something should he done to glossover the disgrace which they have experienced; but itwill hardly be possible to guard effectually ngainst thedisadvantages that necessarily follow from what has latelyhappened. Santa Anna has acted in opposition tomoral principle! He has ordered to be shot, in coldblood, four hundred prisoners; he is now himself a prisonerwith other Generals and officers, and he is in fearof tlie fate that may be his portion, if hostilities shouldbe renewed.What will become of Texas? They at first declared

themselves for the Federal Constitution of 152-4, to which

liiey iiad sworn fidelity, now, perhaps, a dismembermentwill take place, which might be neutralized, by a coinpromisewhich should restore the federal system, or bya combination with other Mexican Stales, to foim themselvesinto a free and independent Government, because

Mexico eaii never be a truly Republican Slate, under the

dominion of an army and an intolerant priesthood.Central America also will feel the effects of these

events. The well known design to make war against this

Republic, which lias been suggested by the restless amblion of the clergy, to injure a ueighbc r which isjad vanciug quietly and litinly in the spirit oKthe age. and bythe wish to divert the attention of the Mexican peoplefrom their internal politics, and to give employment to

the army that was to have effected itie conquest ol Texas;that design, we say, cannot now be carried into effect.Mexico will now feel how painful and mortifying it is

to see one of its provinces revolted ugain.st her, even

though the thing may be colored by high llown languageand pompous decrees.The injustice and usurpations of nations seldom fail to

produce events of which they cannot complain, without

admitting the justice of the claims of other nations

against tliciu.

"la"fborum" franck."new York, Sept. 5..The packet ship Charles Carroll,

Capl. Lee, arrived yesterday from Havre. We havereceived by her, I'aris and Havre papers to the 2">:li July,containing intelligence two days later from the French

"I*" «b.-in hail before reached us.

\\ c annex a letter from our I'.iris correspondent, subsequentto the date of which we find an annunciationin the Monitcur to the following eifrcl: "The Minislers assembled at the house of the president of theCouncil. They afterwards went to the King at Nriiilly.Jt was decided that no review should lake plaee on the2.')th July." 'J his measure appears to have been adoptedin consequence of serious apprehensions that another attemptwould lie made on the life of the King at the review,with which the fetes usually given in commemorationof the revolution of July, were to immence. AllParis indeed seems in a slate of gr at agitation. TheCorrespondent of the Journal tin llurn. says: " Onewould suppose that political exasperation, which hadslumbered for a year past, has revived with all its formerfury and vengeance. It is whispered that a vast conspiracyhas been discovered, that many hundred guilty or

suspected persons have been arrested, and that lists ofnames of a still greater number have been seized, arms,it is said, have, been found, prisons have been opened ut

Doullens and other places, that the military are deeplyinvolved, and tiiat dark projects were on Idol lor the so

lemnity of the 2:)ih of July, which have been happilydiscovered. This much is certain, that the King. M. deThiets and M. do Talleyrand, have returned to I'.uis:that the review of the 211th is countermanded, and thattlie alcove constructed around the Triumphal Arch hasbeen removed. Vague rumors are in circulation of a

vast conspiracy, the ramifications of which extend to Lyons,as well as to several regiments of the Line. Nothingless is spoken of than a Society under lite title of.Jreaders of .'jitilmiail.

' The King who has always shown himself so courageousand so politic, consented with difficulty to countermandthe review of the 2llth. It required all the influenceof M. de iMontalivet. his constant friend, to inducehint to slop the preparations for the fete and projectedreview."'M... I ......./ ./.. /it,,, ,,rirni nf tlif. irnveriimeill.

1 lir|(l( f un3 ;

contains Hie following <in this subject, which evidentlycomes from an ollicia) source:" .Ministers, after having fully deli hern ted, have determinedto adjourn the Review which was to take place

on the z2;'lit July. The reasons are asked, as if all menof sense and probity will not have perceived litem. Butas it is desirtd, we will give the explanation necessary,observing, however, that reserve which is proper.

' In the first place, it is not true, that the diplomaticcorps have taken alarm at the ioau.-r oration of a monumentwhich commemorates our victories. .Nor is it true,that the government apprehended any movement of theNational Guard. The diplomatic body has said nothing,insinuated nothing. One must be completely ignorantof the relations existing between nations to entertainsuch a supposition.

"livery nation celebrates the triumph of its arms withoutothers having any tight to say aught against it..W-e have erected a statue to Napoleon without any personhaving dreamed of complaining. The supposition istherefore puerile." As to a movement of the National Guard, it is more

improbable titan ever Men's minda are at this day no

longer perverted with those party feelings which give'ise to improper conduct. An opposition paper shewsthis with much good sense." Tire King had to expect from the National Guard,

nothing hut demonstrations of devotion and attachmentit required important causes to deprive him of them. Itis now projwr to slate litem with candour. Informationof a serious character, and from numerous sources, prescribedto government the utmost prudence."The King lows the National Guard, and is beloved

by them, i'lieir acclamations recall to him the nationalwill which decreed to him the crown. Jo its ranks hewould have nothing to fear from an army, hut the odiouscm tuies to whose fury lie is ex post d. have no army, andhave therefore recours e to crime. Dangerous projectswere apprehended.

' Make them known, it is sail, hut it should he recollected,that we have no right toencroacli on the administrationof the laws nor render vain the researches of Governmentby divulging them, and' that in such cases, a

Government can neither say wlmt it knows nor what itSUSpectS."\ou spread, it is added, inquietude throughout the

country. No doubt, but we answer by the followingquestion: Ought we, to avoid exciting uneasiness, riskthe possibility of a catastrophe?"Besides, the extentof tins uneasiness on«riit to be con-

ei lie rid. The nation knows well lliat it is not a fewscoundrels that will prevail against its irrevocable will..At Paris and at Lyons they endeavored to reduce us toanarchy with arms in their hands and were conquered,and it is on that account they have converted themselvesinto assassins. A party which has recourse to such meansis forever lost. It consists of a few men, arrived at thelast stage of desperation. Continual watching, time andthe public horror will convince them of their weakness.In tiie mean time, prudence is a duty ; it is particularlyso for those men who hold the reins of Government andwho hear in the eyes of France and the world, an immenseresponsibility."The Ministers who carne to the resolution contained

in the Moniteur, are responsible. They know it. andwill he ready, when the time comes, to answer for theiractions. In the meantime, it will lie admitted, that theyare more aide, than those who speak so lightly, to decidethe question which since yesterday has been discussedin the public papers."M. Armani! Carrel, who by the last accounts, we

learned was wounded in a duel with M. Girarchn,died in Paris on the il4lh July. This event has exciteda great sensation in Paris. M. Carrel has of lateyears aitraded much attention as a public writer..lie was chief editor of the Paris paper, Lc .Vational,which post he assumed when its former editors. Messrs.Thiers and Mignel, were appointed to high o.'Kccs underthe government. On quitting the Military School, heentered a regiment of the line, and became involved ina conspiracy against the Bourbons, known in Fiance byLhe name of 44 the conspiracy of liefort." 11 is devotionto liberal principles subsequently took him to Spain,where he served under Mina, and there capitulated Inthe French army, under the Duke of Angouleine. liewas then twice tried by a court martial, and twice condemnedto death; but the sentences were quashed forsome informality, and altera year's imprisonment he was

released. A short time since he was severely woundedin a duel, hut recovered: and if our recollection servesus right, has had two or three other a flairs of honor, alwaysconnected, however, with his opinions.The accounts from Spain continue more and more unfavorableto the cause of the Queen.

(From the A'. Y. Express, of September o.)SEVEN DAYS LATER.

The London packet ship Giadiator, Captain Briton,arrived at quarantine last night ab'Mil 11 o'clock. Ournews boat brought us full lites of London papers up to

August 1st, and Paris ui.d Liverpool of Saturday, 30thJuly, and news from Madrid up to the 22d July.The news from England is for the most part unimportant.The Irish Church Bill is still the subject under

discussion in all of the London papers.In Paris, says the Times, only three Paris papers were

published on Friday, ami as many appeared ori Saturday,Owing lo the celebration of the " three days." Thefetes appear to have excited less interest than on the occasionof any preceding celebration.

It appears that under its present Government, Franceis running a rapid career of prosperity, and that whilethe material comforts of the people are increased, theirprogress in instruction is equally striking.

L)k.vtit or Jlu. Rothsciiii.u .The London Times ofMonday, August 1st, says:.We were informed lastnight that an express was received in town, from Frankfort,conveying an account of the death of the eminentcapitalist, Mr. Rothschild.From Milan we learn by the Swabian Mercury of July

27, that the cholera has unhappily spread overall AustrianItaly, so thai trade is nearly in a slate of stagnation. Unth« duration of this crisis will depend the conspiracywhich is mcr«- or less to be feared, for even the woikingelassrsbegin to leave llieir homes, and the getting in ofthe rice harvest sutlers by it.

# morning of the Election: 44 The enthusiasm exhibitedby the Whigs at their recent meetings has infused new

energy and inspired universal confidence in our ranks.The assemblages have been numerous and animated, as Iin the days ut lc'IH, when, at the rallying cry of theircountry, they met as n grand committee of vigilance andsafety, to take into their keeping the interests and honorof their country." Aud yet with all this enthusiasm,they are beaten in Baltimore by the startling majorityof 1041..And what said the same Chronicle on the Fridaybefore the Election ? It offers a "coup tl'vcil of lit* :

counties".$nd begins with this tlourisii of trumpets:"Our advices from the counties of this State leave no

room to fear that the Whig Electors will not be chosenin a large majority of them.".And amid its other hurrahs,it says : ' From the great county of Frederick, wehave assurances that leave us nothing to apprehend..Messrs Bant/, and McKinstrv, the worthy and esli-triable Whig candidates lor electors, will, without doubt,be elected.. In Muntcomlrv, Jinnc .drundel, IT.inchGf.orur's, Cuaiills, Calvert and St. Mary's,and thecity vf .dunaputis, the ascendancy of the Whig cause

will, if the least reliance can be placed upon indicationsheretofore found infallible, be triumphantly maintained.. In Baltimore anil Harford Counties our friends are

in high spirits and will strain every nerve to elect their Jcandidates.".We may still be disappointed in the State,and it is a good rule not to halloo before you gel out olthe woods; but the signs so far are very strong, that a

great reaction is going on in Maryland; and that a Stateon which we never counted, may be found once more
