I. _A 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. . JOSEPH C. YATES. 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.

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. l and seasons.

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, being deducted frotn the, estimated means of I 189.4, will leave in the Treasury on the istof January, 1825, ‘after satisfying the current de- mands of the*ycar_l824,_a—balance,; estimated in V at 9,79_2,7.16 4t.- ‘_ 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.

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 number of arrivals at New-York, from Foreign ports during the last year, were 53°.’ ships, 6 barqnes, 433 brigs, 399 schrs. and 47 sloops.—to_tal, 19.17. The number of passen- gers was 4,999. The amount of duties on imports and tonnage for the year ending Sept. 80, was $9,958,119. 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-.
