' FAI{MOU'I‘I{, (Eng) Dec. ll.—-The ap-
prehensions which were last week en-
tertained of a continental war have near-
lysubsicled. It would appear that this
alteration in public opinion throughout
Europe, has been principally effected by
a change of ministry in this country, and
by their declaration of non-intervention
and of their desire to preserve universal
peace, which they made on their ap-
pointment. It cannot be concealed that
considerable distrust of the Duke of ‘Vel-
lington’s non-intervention policy was gen-
erally entertained throughout Europe.-
He was thought to manifest too strong a
predilection for legitiinacy——-for the rights
of the few, in preference to the rights of
the many. Our foreign details are more
than usually interesting.
The incendiary outrages which liave
_ been committed over so great a portion
of the country, have for the most part
ceased, on the strict enforcement of the
law, the penalties of which now await
the perpetrators. The evidence on the
trial oftlie prisoners, we doubt not, will
show that the laborers were not alone the
guilty parties. In many cases there is
good reason to believe that the farmers
themselves have instigated the laborers
to their lawless deeds, and in others that
they have quietly looked on, for the pur-
pose ofarousiiig their landlords into a
sense of their distressed state in conse-
quence of high rents and tithes, with
low prices for their produce. If this be
correct, and we believe it is, then have
they succeeded, we should tliiiiit, beyond
' their most sanguine expectations, for not
only have the landlords consented to re-
duce their rents, and the clergy their
tithes, but such a sensation has been pro-
duced in the minds of the government and
had no doubt thzitsuc
W-from the complection o
gence from England.
. ' the legislature, that enquiry, retrench-
_ ment, (and consequently reduction of tax-
ation,) and reform of Parliament, will
certainly follow. The institutions of the
' country will be regenerated,-and a long
reign of peace and happiness will, in all
probability, be the consequence.
The cause of reform in parliament is
gathering an irresistible force, and it must
soon be granted, or as Earl Gray says, it
will be taken. _ The public interest de-
mands it, suddenly it is dangerous. A
few years since, and the man who avow-
ed llimsclfa Reformer, stood a self bran-
ded revolutionist in the estimation of men
who now, through their fears, see no
safety for thelcountry but in such a reform
as wouldiformerly have been demanded
only by an ultra-reformist. Such is one
‘instance of the complete revolution that
sometimes takes place in the minds of a
majority of a nation. Large meetings
have been held at Ediiibu_rg and She-f.
field, at which petitions for Parliamenta-
§_y Reform were carried with acclama-
ions.

INDIAN Ricii'rs.——Mr. Jefferson, in a
letter to Gen. Knox, Secretary of \Var,
dated Philadelhpia, August 10,'l79l, de-
clares—- '
“The Indians have a right to the occu-
potion of their Lands independent of the-
State within whose chartered lines they
happen to be; thatuntil they cede them
by treaty or other transaction equivalent
to a treaty, no act of a State can give a
right to such lands, that neither under
the present Constitution, nor the ancient
confederation, had any State or person a
right to treat with the Indians without
the consent of the General Government,
that the Government is determined to
extend all its energy for "the patronage
and protection of the rights of the Iii-
dlans S and that if any settlements are
made on lands not ceded by them, with-
out the previous consent of the United
States, the Goveriimeiit will think itself
bound, not only to declare to the fiidiaiis
that such settlements are without the au-
thority or protection of the United States,
but to remove them also by the public
force.”---Jaflcrsaii, 2d 7201.12. 201.

It will be seen that on each ballot Mr.

but one vote to elect him. Mr. C.

not vote at all.
On the following day, eight acltlitional
ballotings were had, which resulted witli-
out success. Mr. Crittcnden’s vote was
68 on 6 of the ballots, and 67 on the oth-
er two. The Jackson party successively
tried the strength of their four candidates
named above. On the 52d ballot, they
gave Mr. Rowan 49 votes, and the re-
mainder were scattered between Col.
Johnson and Mr. \-‘Viekliffe. ’I‘liey«;-then

DECLINEATURE.
It will be seen by the following letter
ibat Mr. PITKIN declines the honor of
riding into office on the whirlwind of
Anti-Masonry.
FARMINGTON, Dec. 31, 1830.
Noble D. Strong Esqr. Editor -of tlic
Anti.-masonic Intelligenccr, Ilartford :
Sin :——By one of your late papers I
learn, that the Anti-masonic Convention
of __this State, which met at Hartford,
on the 15th inst. placed my name on
its list of Candidates for oflicc, at the
ensuing spring election. It appears, by
the same paper, that previous to making
this list, a resolution received the sanc-
tion of that body, declaring, that no per-
sons were to be put in nominationbut
those, who were “known not to be Free-
masons, nor advocates of Freemasonry.”
Presuming, that after the adoption
of this resolution, the members of this
Convention, would place no one on their
list of political candidates, whose princi-
ples were not supposed to be the same
with those embraced in the resolution,
and who, if elected,'wouli-l not, in his po-
litical conduct, be governed by them;
I think it proper, through the medium of
your paper, to state, that, whatever may
be my private opinions, respectiiig~}"rce-
masonry itself, they have never led me
to concur, in the propriety or policy, of
excluding from ollice, either in the State
or General Goveriiineut, every citizen,
who is a Fi'eciiiason, or whose opinions
of Freemasonry, may be ditfereiit from
mine. And I cannot but think it neces-
sary to add, that, entertaining sentiments
on this question, (ccrtainlynot an unimp-
ortant oiie,) so different from those, held
by the individuals composing this Con-
quiesc_e,in having my name placed on
their list of Political Candidates.
I am 1°espectfully yours, ,

PULAR Sims .—i.\*n Rsctoi'vs.—-The ‘ice
of the frozen seas, of which so many ac-
counts have been related" by‘ navigators,
eed by the congelatioii of fresh, and the t
mid never rise to any considerable height,
being dissolved by the rapid progress of
"the summcr’s heat, pours fourth nuiner-
ous fills and limped streams, which ‘col- l‘
lect along the indented shores, and in the
deep bays, eficlosed by precipitous rocks.
There, this clear water soon freezes, and
everv successive year forms and addition-
al crust,’ till after the lapse of perhaps
several centuries, the icy mass rises to the
height and 'appe’arance of a mouiitaiii.
During this time, the ceaseless agitation
of the sea gradually wears and under-
mines the base of this icy mountain, till
at length by the action of its own accu-
mulated weiglit, when it has attained an
altitude of one or two thousand feet, it is
torn from its frozen chains, and precipita-
ted with tremendous plunge, into the a-
byss below. While icebergs are thus the
slow accumulation of ages, the fields of
saline ice are annually formed and de-
stroyed. It seldom floats _ more than a
part of the year; though in some short
seasons, the scattered fragments may be
seized by_ the early frosts, and preserved
through another winter. The islands of
ice afloat are often discovered at a great
distance, by that strange appearance on
the verge of the horizon which the
Dutch seamen term ‘ice-blink.’ It is a
stratum of lucid whiteness, caused by the
glare of light reflected obliquely from the
surface of the ice against the opposite
atmosphere. ‘
The volume of ‘Discovery and adven-
ture in-the Polar Seas and Regions,’ be-
ing the fourtecuth of that eminently pop-
ular work, the "Family Library,’ furnish-
es us with the facts we have above col-
lated, and with uniiumliercd others ofc-
qual and perhaps greater interest, which
combine to render it a publication of un-
common value. ‘~_‘The design is to ex-
hibit a complete and connect: d view of
the successive voyages made to the Arc-
tic regions. The career ofthe navigators,
who at; various times have traversed the
sorthern seas, amid tempest, darkness,
and mountains of floating ice, presents
such 9 series of peril and V_l.0lSSil2Ll(lC, and
has given rise to so many extraordinary
displays of intripidity and heroism,‘ as
caniiot fail to render most interesting
the story of their several e.dventures.--
The narrative of these voyages has been
carefully drawn from the most ‘authentic
sources, by Mr. llugh Murray; and the
most distingiiislicil men of science ‘In
Scotland have lent their aid to illustrate
that woiiderful order of iiatui‘e wliicli pre-
vails in the Arctic Circle. Professor Les-,

that is known of the Geological Struc-
ture of the some interesting regions is
given by Prof =ssoi'.Iaiiiesoii. The chapter
on Natural Histoi'y has received the care-
ful revision of a distinguished Natiiralist.
The description of the VVluile Fisliery
liere introduced may be the more accept-
able, as it is presumed to be the only
one hitherto attempted within a mode-
rate compass.”
The book is beautifully stereotyped
and contains several engravings illustra-
ting important parts of the work. It is
well calculated for seamen and lands-
meii, the learned and uninformed, and
for both sexes of every age; and must
have a more extensive circulation than
any volume of the ‘Library’ that has pre-
ceded it.

Cambreleiig, and Coke, opposed the pro-
position ; and Messrs Stansbury, Malla-
ry, and Borges, supported it.
In supporting his motion Mr.Stansbu-
ry said that the motion was dictated by
those principles which brought General
Jackson into office. During the prece-
ding administration, great clamor was
heard about the proiligate expeiiditure of
the public money, and about constructive
