ga, has been in operation, it is en'couraging to
find that the character of the salt triatiufactu-
ted there, has not only been restored,but it has
been sufficiently ittiproved_to reiiiovein agreat
degree former prejudice_s against the use of it.
A source ofrevenite so‘valuable,I have no
doubt, will coiititiiie to receive the superin-
tending care of ilie legislature. To preserve
the purity of the salt, and secure the confi-
dence of the community in the general use of

“ it, is art object of too tnuch importance to be

neglected, and so essentially connected with
the fiscal concerns of the state, that it should
be regarded as a subject at all times deserving
the highest consideration and attention.

~The choice of electors of President and V.
President has excited tiiucli animadversion
"throughout the r_iation,and it is to be regretted
that a uniform rule of this subject is not pre-
scribed by, the constitution ofthe U. States.-
It is manifest that the manner ofelecting may
have an essential effect on the power and in-
fiuence ofa state, with regard to the presiden-
tial qitestion, by either dividing the votes or

. enabling the state with greater certainty to
give a united vote: and until a uniform rule
is ingrafted in’ the constitution of the United
States, the_t'nanner of electing will continue
to fluctuate, and no alteration made by any
one state willproduce a material change in
the various modes now existing throughout
the Union. In some states the people will vote
by a general ticket, in some by districts, and
in others by the Legislature ; and no practic-
al remedy probably does exist competent to
remove the evil effectually, except by an a-
mendment to the national constitution. Al-
though. this state has heretofore sanctioned
an attempt to accomplish that important ob-
ject, which proved unsuccessful, the measure
on that account should be abandoned ; and as
the subject has recently been brought before
Congress it is to be expected that another op-
portunity will shortly be presented for the Le-
gislature of this state to sanction an amend-
metit, not only establishinga uniform rule in
the choice of electors, but also securing the
desirable object of directing such choice to be
made by the people. A tnore propitious.peri-
od eviucing its propriety aad consequently af-
fording a more favorable prospect of obtain-
ing a constitutional number of the states to
assent to it, Iam inclined to think, has not
presented itself since the organization of the
government. Perstiaded that you, as therap-
resentatives of a free people, will only be in-
fluenced by reason and true patriotism, it is
submitted to your wisdom and discretion,
whether. under existing circumstances, the
present manner ofchoosing electors, ought at
this time to be changed. '

TheExecutivc ofthe state ofTennessee has
forwarded to me a copy of a preamble, and

certain resolutions adopted by the general as-
sembly 'of that state,witli a request to lay them
before the Legislature oftliis state. The ‘same
are accordingly transmitted. .

At the January term of the general sessions
of the peace of St. Lawrence county of the
last year,Win.Kirb_v was indicted for the mur-
der ofJohn Hughes, aged four years, and al-
so for the murder ofFrancesKirby, his dangli-
ter, aged two .years ; and at a court of Oyer
and .Termitier held in September last, in that
county, he was tried and convicted upon the
indictment for the murder of John Hughes,
and sentenced to be executed on the 6th of
November following. From the representa-
tion of the Judge who presided at his trial,
and the district attorney who‘ prosecuted on
the part of the people, and on an examination
of the testimony transmitted to me by thelat-
ter gentleman, facts are presented sufiicient
to induce a beliefthat the prisoner was insane
when he committed the alleged murder. I
have therefore deemed it my duty to postpone
his execution until the 2d day of April next,
in order to annex the condition to his pardon
ofiniprisonmeiit in the state prison during his
natural life, under a full conviction, that it
would be dangerous-and unsafe‘ to the com-
munity, to suffer him to go at large. But as
the inspectors ofthe state prison were notati-
thorized to receive him without a law for the
purpose, I have thought proper to represent
his case to the Legislature, so that necessary
measures might be adopted, to enable the of-
ficers of either of the state prisons, to receive
and retain him, according to the contemplated
condition, upon which he may be pardoned.

The literary institutions of the state are in
a highly respectable and flourishing condition,
and there is reason to believe, that their ex-
tensive usefulness will prove an ample remu-
neration for the support and patronage re-
ceived frotn the Legislature.

It is arsubject of great felicitation to observe
so general a sentiment prevailing in the state,
in favor of the dissemination of useful ktiowl-
edge. The advantages afl"orded in the estab-
lishment of common schools have been em-
braced in almost every part of the state, and
independent of manygcharitable institutions,
meritorious citizens, have, in many places ex-
tended their benevolence to the children of
indigent parents, by the means of Sunday
schools, and the adoption of those humane
and truly laudable measures, have induced
numbers to exchange their accustomed habits
of indolence and dissipation on that day, for
the more profitable pursuit of obtaining a coin-
mon education. The prevalence of such en-
lightened sentiments and generous feelings,
will essentially contribute to secure to the pub-
lie, the benefits ofthe talents of tiiany.useful
and virtuous members of society, otherwise
allowed to remain in obscurity, and will have
a directtendency to afford permanent and sub-
stantial advantages to a goveriiinent,\vhere the
sovereignty rests altogether with the people.

ALBANY, W'ednesd.ty Jan. 7.

‘The Resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Flagg, providing for referring all matters on
the subject ofthe choice of Electors of Presi-
dent, to_ a committee of nine, was called up to
day, and after a warm and animated discus-
sion, was adopted—-ayes 77—noes 48. Those
who took ati active and conspicuous part in
opposing the resolution, were Mr. Tallinadge,
Mr. Wheaton, Mr. Gardner, and Mr. Crary.
The advocates for its adoption, were Mr.
Flagg, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Roger, Mr. Hos-
mer, and Mr. Whiting. -

‘ After the adoption of the resolution, Mr.
Wheaten introduced his bill, providing for the
choice of electors by the people-—-which was
ordered to be printed, and ninst then be re-
ferred to the committee of nine. The com-
mittee is not yet appointed.

‘ No other business was transacted in the
House this day. The standing committees.

Senate, .Monday, Jan. 5.-—-The bill ,repo'rt-
edby the committee on_Foreign Relations, for
the relief of Francis Henderson, Jr. grand-son
‘of Col. Laurens, was taken up in committee.
A ';motion to..strilte out the sum of 893,500,
and insert tlie'-'suni'of26,700 was made by Mr.
Barbour,but was not decided, and the bill was
laid ‘on the table. , . -

The amendment ofthe House, to the bill to

House of Representatives, Jan. 5.——Thelbill
to authorise the laying out and opening of
certain ptiblic roads in the" territory ofFlorida
was read a third time, passed, and setit to the
Senate for concurrence. —

The House went into committee of the
whole, Mr. Taylor in the chair, on the bill for
the support of Penelope Denny, mother of
James Denny, late aquarter-gunner in the
service ofthe U. States. :

The bill gave rise to some conversation be-

tween Mr. Cambreleng, and Mr.Fnller, ofMs.
iti which, also, Mr. Hamilton took part.
, Mr. Cambreleng wished that the support of
Nlrs. Denny should be drawn from the Navy
Pension "Fund. Mr. Fuller objected to this
as being not within the words ofthe law crea-
ting that fund, which confined it_totlie wid-
ows and children of ofiicers and 'tnariiies, but
did not extend it to their‘ other relatives. Mr.
Hajmilton wished the subject referred for more
mature consideration ; when, on motion of
Mr. Carnbreleng the House adjourned.

Senale, Jan. 6.——Mr. Lloyd, of Mass. pres-
ented a niemorialofOliver Keating of B05-
ton, statingtliat in 1807, be loaded a vessel
exclusively with the produce ofthe American
fisheries, for Warseilles ; that, on approaching
the port, the vessel was spoken by a British
vessel of war, and, on entering the harbor of
Marseilles, was taken possession of by a
French national ship, and both vessel and
cargo were condemned contrary to the faith
oftreaties, and the law of nations, under the
Berlin and Milan decrees, issued after the
sailing ofliis vessel; and praying Congress to
grant such relief as he may be entitled to re-
ceive, and they may think proper to grant.-
Referred to the committee on Foreign Rela-
tions. A t_ne'morial from a great number
ofcitizens of N. Jersey, praying an increase
oftlieTnriff, was referred to the Committee
oti Commerce, 83c. An inquiry was or-
dered, as to the expediency ofautlioriziiig the
survey ofa route for a canal frotti Barnstable
to Bnzzard’s Bay.

House of Represenialwes, Jan. 6—The bill

for the reliefof Penelope Denny, was further
discussed in committee.

Senate, Jan. 7.—-Mr. Barbour submitted a

resolution, requesting the President to coin-

municate such information, (as may be done

without injury to the public interest,) as will

shew the state ofthe relations between Spain

and the U. States, frotit the ratification of the

Florida Treaty up to the present titne-—atid

the effect produced on those relations, by the

United States having established diplomatic-
intercourse with the governments of South

and North America.

House of Representatives, Jan. 7.--The

House went into committee on the report of
the Committee of Elections, favorable to the

petition of Parmenio Adams, who claims the

seat of Isaac lVilson, representative from the

state ofNew-York. After a long debate, the

report was concurred iti—ayes 116—nays 85.

Mr. Adams then appeared and took his seat.

[The facts of this contested election are as

follows : In the county ofGenesee, forming

the 29th Congressional District ofthe state of
N. York, Isaac Wilson and Parmetiio Adams

were opposing candidates for Congress. The
former was returned as having received 2093
votes, whilst Parnienio Adams had 2077 votes.

Mr. Adams claimed the seat to which Mr.

Wilson was returned, on the ground that in

the town of China, 67 votes were returned for
the sitting member, whereas the true number
given in for him was 45 votes. The sitting
member as a set-off for this error offers proof
of-12 votes which either the petitioner receiv-
ed niore than he was entitled to, or the return-
ed member was not allowed credit for on his
side. The committee of. elections report that
five votes should be deducted for error front
the number of votes returned for the petition-
er from the town of Attica. This deduction,
however, still leaves him a majority, after the
error on the opposite side is deducted, of one
vote over the sitting tnetnber.

 

From the Baltimore Morning Chronicle.

A rumor has reached its from Vllasliiiigton,
not unworthy ofnotice. Great sensibility,and
we will add, an impatient sensibility has been
expressed on the subject of a call proposed to
be made on our Chief Magistrate, to know
whether any communications had been recei-
ved from the English ministry, through our
minister, Mr. Rush, pioposing an alliance of-
fensive anddefensive, against the ambitious
designs of the confederated despots of Eu-
rope. The rumor is, that several interviews
between Mr. Canning and Mr. Rush had ta-
ken place on this subject; that nothing had
passed in the shape offormal and specific pro-
positions. It is said that Mr.Canning wished
to sound Mr. Rush. to ascertain what were
the precise sentiments of the American gov-
ernment on this--point—tliat the answer ofour
minister was, that he could not speak decid-
cdly : but he. was ready to receive and to
transmit for the consideration of his govern-
meiit,any distinctjproposals made by the Eng-
lish ministry. We have understood that mat-
ters remained in this state dowti to the latest
advices, and further, that, since that period,
new instructions have been sent to Mr. Rush,
in accordance with the sentinients expressed
in the message of our First Magistrate. This
we have understood to be the state of the ques-
tion between the two governments, and it is
fair to presume that before the rising of _Con-
gress, the result of this matter will eventuate
in a treaty between the two powers, of the
character originally. coritemplated,and in pur-
suance of what we may presume to be the la-
test instructions of our cabinet. That such
will be the probable event may be argued
from this fact, that both the English govern-
ment and our own, entertain the satne pre-
cise idea oftlic views and objects ofthe Holy
Alliance. The Englisli minister tells parlia-
ment, and the President tells Congress, in
substance, that any attempts by the Holy Al-
liance on South America will be resisted.—-
This single fact leads to such an alliance : we
do not see how this thingcan be avoided,onless
the members of the royal confederacy sltould
dissolve that infamous alliance.

Norwalk, Jan. 12th, 1824.

Our readers will find the last page of this
paper devoted principally to news articles.—
We were obliged to adopt this course in or-
der to make room for Gov. Yates’ message.-
Our subscribers in the. state of New-York are
informed that we shall fttrnish them with an
early history ofthe proceedings in their legis-
ture at the present session.

VVe cannot divine the reason why the Na-
tional Intclligencer does not reach us more
regularly. At the coninienceinetitof the pre-
sent session of Congress we subscribed for it;
expecting to be thereby enabled to furnish our
readers with a fuller and more correct account
ofthe , proceedings than could be obtained
frotti other sources; but we have been totally
disappointed, having received only Spapers
since the middle of December, and none for
more than a week past. Ifthe fault is in the
Intelligencer Office we request that it may be
immediately rectified.

VVe have pleasure‘ in stating that the pro-
cceds of the Ball in aid of the Greeks, had on
the 8th inst. by the young gentlemen and la-
dies ofthis town, were, over and above all the
expenses, and including the contribution of
the ladies, Eighty-two Dollars.

The Treasurer ofthe Greek Fund has re-
ceived since our last notice, 324 front a few
individuals in Flemington, N. J. ; 85 from C.
Green, Boston; 524 from a member of Con-
gress, being the atnoiitit of8 day’s pay ;_,$30
from No. 18, Broadway, and $20 from Chas.
St. John, being the preitiiiim on two Hats.

The slim of $266, 44, being the amount of
the nett proceeds arising from the sale of
Tickets for the Bachelor’s-Ball, given in aid
of the Greeks on the 1st inst. has been pres-
ented to the Treasurer of the Greek fund.

On Sunday evening, 4th inst. a collection
ofS63 was taken up it) the Methodist Chapel
at Brooklyn, together with an elegant silver
mounted Dagger, valued at 815. On the
night ofthe 7th inst. the managers of thePhil-
adelpliia Theatre gave the Greeks a benefit,
the tiett proceeds of which exceeded $900.

A sermon is to be preached,and a collection
taken up in aid of the Greeks, on the 18th
inst. in one of the churches in Philadelphia.
M. C.'Bergasse, a native of Scio, but for 30
years past a residentofPhiladelphia, has giv-
en 3100 to aid his country’s cause.

Military Ball.——Thc American gives a fine
description of the appearance of the Theatre
on the night of the 8th instant. The pit was
floored over level with the stage, thus forming
one magnificent saloon extending from the
centre boxes to the back ofthe stage. The
first object that struck the eye on entering the
house, was the Cross of Constantine, resplen-
dent with light, surrounded by Grecian ban-
ners. At the foot of this cross were two pie-
ces of brass artillery, captured during our rev-
olutionary struggle, surmounted with flags.-
The stage was closed in by the splendid scen-
ery in Undine, so as to give it the appearance
of a chrystal palace, frotti every part of which
the flashing lights were reflected with a thou-
sand varied hues. Advancing to the cetitre
and turtiing round, over the great entrance
was perceived the full length picture of the
hero ofthe day, bound round with laurel, and
forming by means ofa very tasteful decoration
of flags, which spread out from it in all direc-
tions, the base ofa pyramid rising gradually
to the upper gallery ofthe house and tapering
to its summit, which was formed by the camp
colors of‘ different regiments. Immgdiately
above the picture of Jackson, and enhircled
with the saute becoming drapery, was the bust
of \Vashington. Looking up to the ceiling,
theretwas seen above the large lustre a bril-
liant star, and from the firmament in which
it seetiied to glow descended, as if radiated
from it, streamers of every hue, which lead-
ing down to and terminating at the columns
of the upper boxes, round which they were
wreathed, served beautifully to diminish the
effect ofthe otherwise overwhelming height
ofthe ceiling. Turning again to the stage,
the proscenium was decorated with the large
standards of Greece and the United States,
blended together and reaching from side to
side. In front ofthe Greek flag was a banne-
ret inscribed ‘ Marathon.’ In front oftliat of
the U. States was another, inscribed ‘New-
Orleans.’ On the right side ofthe Stage was
astatue of Minerva. Opposite, on the left,
was the statue of Liberty. The front of the
boxes was tastefully festooned with flags and
evergreens; and where these were braided up,
were seen azure shields, presenting alternate-
ly the names of some Grecian or American
victory, or victor. The company began to
assemble before 7 o’clock,and continued pour-
ing in till 11. The file of carriages reached
from W all-street to the theatre.

Treasury Report.——\Ve have not room this
week for the long report of the Secretary of
the Treasury. The aggregate of the receipts
and expenditures of the past year will be
found on the last page; -and the following is
the estimate ofthe satne for the current year,
viz. :—-Customs, 316,500,000; public lands,
1,600,000 ; batik dividends, 350,000; Iiici-
dental receipts including arrears of Internal
Duties and Direct Tax, 50,000 ; repay-
ments of advances made in the war depart-
ment for services or supplies prior to July 1,
1816, 850,000—-making together 18,550,000;
to which is to be added the sum of 6,466,969
80 remaining in the treasury, after satisfying
all the appropriations chargeable upon the
means of 1823, which makes the entire means
of the year 1824, amount to $95,016, 969 30.

The expenditures ofthe year 1814, are es-
timated as follows:—-Civil, diplomatic and
miscellaneous, $1,814,057 32; military serv-
ice,including fortifications, ordnance, Indian
department, revolutionary and military pen-
sions, arming the militia, and arrearages prior
to 1st Jan. 1817, 5,122,968 15; naval service,
including the gradual increase of the navy,
9,973,927 51 ; public debt, 5,S14,000--mak-
ing ati aggregate of 15,2‘24,£i7.52 89; which,

Iiarir-‘breadth Escape}--A letter. from, the
_Wasliir'igt‘on correspondent of the N .Y'.States-
man, says, ",The'Sec'retary of “far and, his la-
dy, with one or two dfliis friends, had a nar-
row escape last evening. In returning from
a large party at Mr. Wirt’s, the ' coachman
drove tip to the door amidst a crowd of car-
riages, aiid just as Mr.and rs.Calhoun were
upon the point of stepping in, the horses took
fright, and ranat ftill speed for about halfa
mile, when the driver was thrown from his
seat and the carriage dashed to pieces. The
horses cleared the wreck and have not since
been heard of. Had the Secretary and his
lady been a moment sooner, it is probable
both ofthem would have lost their lives. The
coachman was considerably injured, but not
dangerously. I saw a carriage on‘ its beam
ends in the river yesterday, with the horses
attached to it. Another wreck was foundop-
posite the Department of State this tnornitig.’

The citizens of New-York have hit on a
new and very pleasing mode ofornamciiti'ng
their city. It is that of placingin all the pub-
lic sqiia_res statues of distinguished i__ndividii-
als, and lighting them with gas. In_Frankliti

brilliant magnitude as to extend itself 500

Small .PO.‘C.-—Tl)lSlet‘1‘lble malady appears
to be fast spreading through the country, and
by a late Hartford paper we regret to learn
that it has been introduced into this state. It
appears that a woman came to Glastenbnry a
few weeks since from New-York, where her
liusbatid had died of the disease, and brought
with her an infant child, attd a bundle of
clothes belonging to her husband. The child
has since died, and several other persons have
been attacked.

Mr. Thaddeus Reed, of Lexington, Mass.
died of the Small Pox on the 1st instant. It
is supposed a son of Mr. R. carried the disease
from New-York in his clothes, and that his
parents received the infection from them.

The Board of Health of Philadelphia re-
port the deaths of124 personsin tlia_t city dtir-
ing the week ending Saturday the 3d. Of
this number 19 died of small-pox, 11 adults
and 8 children.

Since the first of January, 1825, the naval
service ofthe UnitedStates has lost, by death,
the following number of officers :---2 captains,
8 lieutenants, 2 surgeons, 2 pursers, S chap-
laiiis, 17 midshipmen, 3 sailing-masters, 1
boatswain, 9. gunners, 1 captain of marines, 8
lieutenants, one carpenter, lone sail-maker—
Total 46. _,

The State-House at Vandalia was consu-
med by lire oti the 15th ult. together with ali
the furniture of the house, and the books and
implements of the Receiver of Public Moti-
eys, and ofthe Masonic Lodge.

A few weeks since, the new steam boat
William Loumdes, from Charleston for Ham-
burg, took fire 40 miles below the latter place
and burnttotlie water’s edge. At the coin-
mencement of the fire, an impression existed
that there was powder on board, and the pas-
sengers (50 in number) and crew escaped frorii
her with great precipitation, with only what
clothes they had on. There was a largeqiian-
tity of inerchandize on board, principally from
New-York. The loss it was supposed would
itot f:-ill much sltort of $100,000. The boat
was not insured-.

Flamiels.—Tlie arrangements for manti-
facturing Flannels, in Massachusetts, are now
so extended that we have the best authority
for stating 30,000 pieces will be made this
year within 40 miles of Boston.

Washington and Warren BanIc.—Some of
oitr readers will be gratified to perceive that
the bills of this bank are rising in value. In
New York they are worth 50 cents on the
dollar in specie; and at Sandy Hill, Mr. C.

A letter from Tampico, Nov. 13, says-
'We have recently had several arrivals, among
which is the schooner Racer, from Philadel-
phia, with a valuable cargo which has been
confiscated for attempting to smuggle. This

From JVor_folk.—VVe learn from Norfolk,
(Jan. 4th,) that Com. Porterls squadron is de-
tained there by order of the Secretary of the
Navy, until a Court Martial shall try Lt. B.
Kennon, on certain charges which the Com-
modore has preferred against him. After the
ship John Adams, brig Spark, and sclir. Wea-
sel had dropped down to the bite ofCrany Isl-
and preparatory for sailing, the Com. received
instructions to retiiain and sustain the charges
which he had preferred, and the squadron,ex-
copt the store-sliip Decoy, returned again on
Friday evening, to their old anchorages off
Town Point.-—Spectator.
