I'HE GAZETTE. By EDGAR SNOWDEN. Daily paper Country paper Ttwis. S3 per annum. 5 per annum. The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE for the coun j try is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. All advertisements appear in both papers, and are inserted at the usual rates. SPEECH OF MR. LEIGH, [concluded.] Mr. L. had little to say concerning his own opinions and conduct in regard to the Bank question. He doubted not at all the singleness of purpose, the honest, sincere, anxious opposi tion of the great body of his political opponents as well as his friends, to any such institution— but he was perfectly confident, that many of those who were now most strenuous in their op position to him, professedly on this ground, would be willing that the heats which had arisen out of the bank controversy should subside, so soon as the next presidential election should be over —provided they should succeed in elect ing their man. He was perfectly assured, that many had seized on this ground of opposition to him, because it was one well calculated to alarm the honest jealousy of the people, while, with themselves, it was only the pretext, not the motive, of opposition. They knew, that, to jea lousy once roused, it was the easiest of all things to distort, discolor, and exaggerate any man’s words or actions. He believed in his conscience, that there were some men, now di recting to be opposed to him on this bank ground, who were, in their hearts, principally apprehensive of his hostility to a national bank that should also be a government (meaning an Executive) bank; a bank contrived to make the President, in effect, banker general of the na tion, with a floating capital of twenty-five mil lions to trade on; and to enable him to extort from those who should want accommodation, an enormous premium of loyalty. Yet Mr. L. would do.these politicians the justice to say, that he believed they would have as hearty an aversion from such a scheme as he had,—unless they should succeed in getting a President of their own choice. Were the proofs demanded? Mr. L. would not betray any confidence—there were some notorious facts. There were in this State several open avowed national bank men, who were earnestly supported by our Jackson Van-Buren anti-bank men, because they were opposed to him, whom these persons affected to regard as a quasi bank man. There were, in ••her States, zealous Jackson men, who were at same time avowed national bank men, and •iectioneering for Congress on that ground; yet m abated nothing from the interest which our •,si>n Vau-Buren anti-bank men took in their i cess. The President selected avowed na tal bank men for bis chief ministers, and (as aught in decency to be supposed, whatever die fact.) his confidential advisers; yet our ckson-Vau-Buren anti-bank men would not ow th it this should abate any thing from •h.'ir confidence in him, or their approbation of diem. The President himself was a national hank man; that is, provided the w hole legisla tive power over the subject was conceded to him, and he was allowed to frame the bank to his own mind: but this created no alarm, no jealousy, in our anti-bank men—because, for sooth! iie had now committed himself against any national bank. hen, or how? His de claration in favor of national bank stood re corded in a solemn message to Congress—he stood committed against one only by declara tions attributed to him in the newspapers, w hich he might disclaim, and doubtless with truth, whenever he pleased. Mr. L. had not the least doubt, that In* too might have thought, and said, and done, whatever fancy or caprice might have suggested, in reference to this bank ques tion, without the least reproach from the class of politicians he was talking of, if he had been content to pay the price of their toleration, by sending in his adhesion to the President, and vowing allegiance to him. They were for electing any man as Senator, who would sup port the President in his measures,—past and future,—though no one could possibly foreknow what the future might be! Such was the Jack sonite notion of the duty of a Senator! If Mr. L. were a Jackson man, he would not take the office upon such terms—he might go there well disposed to support him—but he would not agree that a collar should be put around his neck, with his master’s name graved on it. Mr. L. said, that those who complained of his want of candor and singleness of purpose in regard to the bank question, were either unin formed of his sentiments, or uninformed of the true state of public opinion and of parties out of Virginia, in reference to the subject, and in the wilfulness of party delusion, incapable of being informed,—or they were themselves un candid. The people of Virginia sent their re presentatives to Congress, with orders to begin their game by shewing their hands,—spreading their cards upon the table: and to that Mr. L. had no objection: but then, there was a set of men, who (as if their whole interests were stak ed on the game, but not on our side) would go still further, and interdict them from endeavor ing to find out what cards were in the hands of other players, and from telling, if they should find out; and were ready to denounce him who should publish what he should discover or be lieve, as a cheat. Mr. L. knew when he went to the Senate, that the policy which the influence of self love would have dictated for him, was a sort of “non committal”—a careful concealment of his views of the present state of things, and his apprehensions of the future; but he knew then, and knew now, that that was not the course of duty. And he wotiUl tell whatever he knew or believed or feared, which it concerned his constituents to consider—saving always his fi delity to confidence reposed in him. He would warn his parent of dangers set in his path though that parent in the excess of self-confidence should turn a deal ear to the warning, or even disinherit him for giving it—he would tell Vir ginia wh.it she had to expect, explain to her the choice of evils which he thought lay before her, and invoke her timely and deliberate consider ation of them, if he were sure tnatshe w ould be offended by his zeal and freedom, and in her an,rer discard him from her service forever.— He would tell the people of Virginia, that,— supposing the bank guilty of every vice that had been charged upon it and allowing it to be a dangerous, corrupt and corrupting, as well as unconstitutional, institution,—it was yet more dangerous, and it was wholly unnecessary, to concede or sanction an arbitrary power in the Executive to put it dow-n. The Bank must have gone down of itselfj and that in a veiy short time—the assumptions of power by the Executive, if approved and allowed, would be established, and stand an example to all times. The bank was indeed a monster, if it were ne cessary for its destruction, to admit and main tarn another monster, which was as capable ol destroying the constitution as the bank mon archical prerogative. He would still tell the people of Virginia, Hi at, in his opinion, founded on long and anxious reflection, nothing would be ultimately left to them but a choice of evils. He would tell them,that the objection to a nation al bank, was, and had always been, confined to Virginia, and a few, a very few, other States of the Union; that, therefore, whenever any ad ministration should think it expedient, or when ever, at any moment, the opinion of it’s policy, much more of it’s necessity, should become ge neral throughout the Union at large, as it hap pened in 1815-16, a national bank would be created, in spite of our opposition; and that this was a consideration, which, as it could nowise be put aside, ought never to be overlooked in our calculation of consequences. It was diffi cult to conceive, how this nation could hang to gether, in it’s present state of political union and commercial relations, without a general uniform currency of some kind or other—he believed, the indispensible necessity of such a currency was universally admitted. It was dif ficult to conceive, how the state banks could fur nish such a currency—because if for no other reason,—even supposing their credit solid, yet, owing to the multitude of them, it would be im possible for people in distant parts, to be inform ed of the state of their credit, or be able to judge of the genuineness ot their notes. But their paper would supply the local currency.— It was difficult to conceive any means within the constitutional competency of the federal go vernment, by which the state bank system could be suppressed, or the extension 01 it oy me j States prevented—or any constitutional means, by which even their small notes could be drawn out of local circulation; for, as to the scheme which had been suggested of suppressing them by the imposition of a lederal stamp duty, it could not have been well considered; it was plainly un constitutional; it was a perversion of a power gi ven for a prescribed purpose, to another and wholly different purpose; which would be found in practice, the most sweeping and dangerous of all the systems of construction that had yet been invented. I And so long as the State Bank system should continue, and the State banks should remain in j any colourable state of credit, he could not see how it was possible to restore a hard money currency. Such measures as the Gold Bill, and others which the federal government was competent to adopt, might have the effect of infusing a larger portion of specie in the general circulation—and, in his opinion, the more the better—but the result of his reflections on the subject, was, that the effect of such measures would be very partial and limited indeed. All 1 tilings considered, the institution of a national bank would present itself as the easiest method 1 at least, of providing a general uniform cur I rency for the whole Union; and it would, there fore, be resorted to, by those who thought such an institution constitutional as well as expedi ent, and adopted, if they had the majority. And then, those who thought it unconstitutional and dangerous, must take that scheme of a na tional bunk, which, in their opinion, would be most capable of good and least capable of mis chief. And thus it was that it would happen, that the question ultimately to be decided—the question we should have to consider at last, in spite of our teeth,—would be, not whether there should be a national bank or not? but, what sort ofbank? a bank with a capital of $50,000,000— or of $35,000,000—$25,000,000—or $20 000,000? a bank subiectedlo the absolute control and di rection oflMB^KUtive? or one placed un der and direction of the stoc bod ing of thf when hi! so happy as he knew as well as any in politics,—all reason esent, to the future state very nature, fallible; and ated evil, no one would be should be, if his apprehensions should prove unfounded. But, in the present in stance, the chain of probabilities hung together by such massive links, that it was wonderful to him that they were not visible to all eyes. Those probabilities depended on the regular operation of political causes; and could nowise be affected by a belief that the results would or would not happen. In the name of common sense and common prudence, why was if offen sive to exhibit such views as these to the peo ple, and to ask their consideration of them? Were presages of evil—even supposing them the offsping of an over-anxious mind—to be regarded as proof of a desire to promote evil? If any man sincerely think so, then, said Mr. L., him have I offended,”—but offended out of zeal to serve. And as for those who do not think so, and yet say so, it were idle to deprecate their opposition. As to the place of deposit of the public Trea sure of the United States, and the distribution and disbursement of it, Mr. L. had recently in timated the opinion, that the true principles of the constitution, according to the intention of its founders, would require, that the treasury should be divorced from all connection with any bank or banks, state or federal. The same proposi tion had been suggested by Mr. Gordon, at the last Session of Congress; and the hint of it, in truth, was given by Mr. Jefferson, in a letter to Mr. Gallatin, in 1803. A regulation of the tr'ea I sury on that principle, was simple enough.—Let a general treasury office be established at the seat of government, under the management of a ucaMJici, ciuu iut«i uca^ui v unites usiuuiimi- I ed in each of the States, as many as should be convenient, under the management of assis tant treasurers; requiring bond and security from the treasurer, and assistant treasurers, for the faithful performance of their trust—Let the public revenue be deposited in these offices, as it should be collected—Give power to the Secreta ry of the treasury to remove redundant funds from one office to another, where convenience should require them to be disbursed—Give pow er to the treasurer to draw warrants on any of fice he should think proper, guarding the power by suitable and efficient checks; make it em bezzlement and felony in him, wilfully to issue any warrant, except under authority of law, at the bidding of any person whatever; and make it embezzlement and felony in any assistant trea surer, to use for his own purposes, lend to oth ers, or pay away, any money, except to war rants drawn by the treasurer, in due form of law. Certainly, no Virginian, acquainted with the history of the treasury of Virginia, should be at a loss to understand the scheme. Mr. L. had said, he had no hopes, that it would be adopted, because the friends of the state banks, —the friends of a national bank—the friends of the Executiveclaims to power over the treasury, —would all be opposed to it; and because the nation would not be content to give up the pro fits of the sum paid in for revenue, as active ca pital, in the interval between the collection and disbursement, and to let it lie idle and unproduc tive—and he might have added, that the expense of such an establishment, would be as strenue ously ur ed against it, as if Congress were not disposing of surplus revenue to the tune of mil lions, at every Session. But the Jacksonite ob jection to it, was an argumentum ad hommem to him (Mr. L.) namely, that the scheme would give the custody of the public treasure to the president; which; as these objectors intimated, w as the very thing that he uffteted to hold in such dread and aversion. But the obvious e fectof the scheme, would be to take the public treasure out of the custody and control of the president. Mr. L. did not admit the inherent right and prerogative, which the president had asserted, to have the custody of the public trea sure. He never would admit the doctrines oT the protest. And it was wonderful to see, that those doctrines were already referred to, as ad mitted, undoubted truths. The president s doc trine was,—that the secretary and other officers of the treasury, were Executive officers, and could not be made otherwise by Congress—that all Executive officers were bound to conform to his orders—that, as he had the constitutional power of selecting those officers, so he had a power, given by the constitution which could not betaken from him by law, to remove them at his pleasure or discretion—that he, and he alone, was responsible for all their acts that the custody of all public property, and of all public money, appertained to him, by constitu tional right, which no law could impair, if such property or money were confided to any offi cer, who was removable by him, and for whose acts he was resoonsible; that is, accoiding to these astonishing pretensions, if they were con fided to any officer whatever, that could possi bly be created. If these doctrines were allow ed, it would be true, that every attempt to regulate the treasury by law, or to appoint the place of deposite and manner of safekeeping of the pub lic treasure, would be vain and idle—the presi dent would be e.v officio, lord high treasurer of the nation—Congress would have nothing to do, hut to vote the supplies, and make appropria tions; leaving to the Executive, the absolute disposition of the revenue, in the interval be tween the collection and disbursement, accord ing to his wisdom or his pleasure. And then republicanism would be nothing but an empty sound,—the modern great one’s jest! This high prerogative right to the custody of the public treasure, Mr. L. said, was unhappily only one of several new doctrines, broached since the last election of the president to office, asserted and acted on by him, and admitted ana maintained by his friends, which, if they had been imputed to him or them, three years ago, he for one would have given no credence to the charge. The facility w ith which such doctrines had been received—the rapidity with which they had gained ground,—was to his mind, most wonderful and appalling. For instance, it seem ed now to be agreed among the president’s friends, that he might, with pure and patriotic motives, commit or sanction a violation of the Constitution, and that not a doubtful one, but open, palpable, acknowledged on all hands; and that the fault and the evil of the act would be redeemed by the purity of the motive. The Post Master General negotiated loans of money to the amount of some 140,000, at six per cent in terest, in direct violation of the plain words of the Constitution; this was admitted by the re corded votes of every friend of the administra tion in the Senate; and no man, indeed, had had the hardihood to deny it. So long as the president was uninformed of the fact, Mr. L. would maintain, in opposition to his protest, that he was not, and that the Post Master General alone was, responsible for the act—but the pre sident, being fully and exactly informed of it, and yet persisting to retain the officer in his place gave Iris sanction to the proceeding, and made it his own. Did those who acknow ledged the act to be unconstitutional, yet ap prove it? Or could the president make it con stitutional by bis sanction? Or were his friends reconciled to it, because it was a trivial affair, not worth his or their serious care? If the Ex ecutive might violate the constitution in one ar ticle, with patriotic motives, why might he not, with patriotic motives too, overturn the whole constitution, and give us, what he might think, a better one? If the Post Master General might borrow money for the use ol his department, with the president’s approbation or sanction, why might not any other Executive officer, un I der the sanction of presidential authority, bor row money for the use of his department? And what would hinder the Executive from dispens ing with the exercise, for the time being, of the power of Congress to borrow, or to raise, mo ney? A republican people, Mr. l,. said, couki never remit their vigilance over their free institutions, in a single instance, or for a single moment, without endangering the stability of the whole fabric. The next thing we should probably hear main tained—the foundation lor it w as already laid— would be, that the judicial power of the Senate, as a court of impeachment, was, in effect, a li mitation on its legislative authority—and that, theiefore, it could not inquire into any abuses of any Executive department, because, by pos sibility, those abuses might be the subject of im peachment—as if it were possible to legislate for the correction of abuses, without knowing what the abuses were, and underslanding the manner and nature of them! and as if ihe Se nate were really incompetent to such legisla tion! Cut, Mr. L. said, there was one power vested in the Senate by the Constitution, of a nature so simple, that, until lately, there had never been any dispute raised about the exercise of it, even in times of the highest excitement—he meant the concurrrent power of the Senate in appointments to office. It w as the province of the president to select and nominate, and the province of the Senate to confirm or reject, ac cording to their sense, respectively, of what the public good required; and, as the president was perfectly free, in making his selections, to reject any applicant without assigning his reasons, so each and every Senator w'as equally free to con firm or reject the president’s nomination, with out giving his reasons to any human being for his vote. The function, he should think, was sometimes no very agreeable one to the pre sident—he knew it was often an unpleasant one to the Senator; hut it was not. for that reason, to be avoided. It very often happened, that the most unreserved man placed in the Se nate, might forbear to give the reasons of his own opinion, even to his brother Senators in se cret session—every Senator was obliged to act upon such evidence as satisfied his own mind— and it might be, and often was, right and proper in itself, and but justice towards the nominee, to confine his reasons, or some particular reason, to his own bosom. Mr. L. believed that the first occasion (save one) on which these principles had been questioned, was that of the late nomi nation of Mr. Stevenson as minister to London; and that he was the very first man, not who had incurred personal hostility, but towards whom personal hostility had been openly avowed, for his vote on such an occasion; and that Mr. Ste venson’s friends were the only persons who had ever ventured to avow their hostility towards another forgiving a vote contrary to their wish es. Mr. L. had no fault to find with any one who voted for Mr. Stevenson—least of all. had he any desire to injure Mr. Stevenson himselt— but he knew that his own vote was a conscien tious one—and he would not agree that it should be ascribed to personal or party hostility. He had never, in his life, given a vote on such an occasion, upon such motives. He happened to have no motive of personal delicacy to conceal the reasons of the vote he gave, on that occa sion, or any of them And, therefore,-if Mr. Stevenson should desire it, not otherwise, he would give the whole history of the affair to the public, so far as he was concerned; state the facts as he understood them to exist, so far as he was at liberty to state tnem; and the exact public principles on which his vote was founded. Mr. L. said, that if lie had been more prolix than he ought—if he had touched topics that might seem not suited to such an occasion as this—the attention which the company had gi ven him, as it had been his temptation to pro ceed, so, he hoped, it would serve as his excuse. And he concluded by giving his friends tins pro mise—that, whatever should befall him, they should hear no indecent vauntings of victory, or unmanly complaints of defeat from him no ebullitions of gratified or of disappointed ambi tion—and, above all. in any event, no unfilia! sentiment towards Virginia. Georgia Nullification.— \N etake this occasion to advertise our fellow citizens who have been misled upon the nature of this remedy, that they will have occular proof of the practical efficien cy of the very obnoxious article called nullifica tion, when the Indian title to the lands lately granted by the State, is tried by the Supreme Court, as we understand it will be during its next session; and they will furthermore be led to the curious discovery, that their very leaders, those who have worn their lungs in trumpeting the sounds of Union,’ will be found among the fore most in their approval of this fearful remedy, although they have so recently been unceasing in their efforts to misrepresent and denounce it. They will furthermore find that the proceedings of the Judiciary department of* the Union’ in the case now sent up to it, will be as certainly nul lified with the general approbation of the peo ple, anti-nullifiers included, as were those in the celebrated Tassels case. Oh! what then will be come of the Union? As Mr. Ritchie says, we shall see.”—Milledgerille Kecon/er. Sentence of Death.—At the United States Dis trict Court in Boston, last week, Henry Joseph, a negro, and Amos Otis, a white, were tried for (lie murder ol Captain James Croshy. of the brig Juniper, bound from that port to Surinam—the former as principal, and the latter as accessory. The murder was pci petrated by the black, and it appeared clear to the jury who tried them that the white countenanced him, ami they were ac cordingly convicted. On Saturday they were brought into Court to receive the sentence of the law, when, says the Transcript, one of the most solemn scenes took place that we remem ber ever to have witnessed. In the midst of an immense audience, wrapped in profound si lence, His Honor Judge Story called upon the prisoners respectively to say any thing they might wish to say, according to the mild and merciful provisions of justice in our country, previous to the announcement of their fate from the bench. Joseph immediately remarked that he had something to say, and then proceeded, with great apparent emotion, and with his coun tenance bathed in tears, to state, though not with a distinct pronunciation, that this man”— pointing to Otis—was perfectly innocent of the murder, and of all connection vith it, or knou ledge of it. After this, Otis himself, being al lowed to speak, not only reiterated, most sol emnly, the cook’s declaration, tint gave an ex plicit and remarkably distinct and sensible ex planation upon some points of the evidence which had weighed most heavily against him— particularly his expression on the day subse quently to the murder. The Judge, in passing sentence,— which, he said, he must do,—observ ed that the remarks of Otis were “proper for consideration,” and that a representation might be made to the Executive in his favor. The execution was appointed for the id of December next, between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P. M.

ALEXANDRIA: FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 7, 1834. EDITORS CORRESPONDENCE. New-York, November 3, 1834. Half past 1 P. M. S Pear Sir:—The contest between the parties commenced this morning at the ballot-boxes 'lift great spirit. The weather is fine—and, while all minds appear deeply interested, in ge neral much good feeling is manifested;—and if nien act under the influence of their natural ar ^or only, i* is hoped those scenes which have heretofore disgraced our city, and given pain tnihe great proportion of its citizens, will not he repeated. I am aware of the intense inte rest every one must feel in the issue of this elec tion; and if information can be given in antici pation of the papers by the regular mail, (and 1 do not know of a more speedy conveyance,) it shall be done. I suppose, however, but little can be known until Wednesday eve of the re sults and on Thursday I may be able to tell you of victory to the Whig party, which is evi dently desired and confidently expected. The Whig Ticket is considered honorable to the State—and I think but few reflecting and can did men can say the same for the Administration Ticket. I am but little engaged in politics—but do not hesitate to say, that 1 feel impelled by a strong sense of duty to oppose the little influ ence 1 have to the ruinous policy of the Van Buren party- The people have been already deluded quite too long, and begin to realize that the Aristocracy of the Albany Regency and Kitchen Cabinet are not less to be dreaded (though plausibly masked under the name of Democracy,) than any other Aristocracy of which they have complained. They feel that thtSafety Fund system is at least as dangerous totheir liberties as the United States Bank. But there are higher interests than those of Banks which now engross us—the Constitution and laws of our country are in danger. Tiesday. Noy 4. (12 A. M.)—The letter was too late for yesterday’s mail. Things go on wry quietly, and the parties are making great efforts; but I hope, and believe, the Whigs will prevail. On Thursday 1 hope to give results by the mail. The papers of that morning may fur nish you to some extent. Pinner to Mr. Ewing.—A public dinner was jriren to Mr. Senator Ewing, of Ohio, by the citizens of Zaneszille, on the 25th ult. V\ e learn from the Zanesville Republican that a very large number of persons were present on the occasion, and that Mr. Ewing addressed the company in a long and animated speech, dis tinguished by that sound practical sense and ex tensive political information, which have secur ed for that honest and fearless Senator so high a reputation throughout the country. Well done, Baltimore.—At a lute meeting of the Teachers’ Lyceum in the City of Baltimore, it was resolved, that the Society will take im mediate measures to ascertain the number of j children m the City of Baltimore w ho do not at tend school, and to use all proper means to bring EVERY CHILD within the pale of instruc tion.” We should like to see this example followed bv similar associations throughout the l nion. The Hyena is said to delight in ransacking graves and rioting upon dead bodies. The Globe newspaper is of a similar disposition.— Witness its savage attacks upon the memory of Rufus King. That great man is dead and gone. His errors might be suffered to b? forgiven, if not forgotten. Are his political sins to be visit ed upon his children? The Newport Mercury of the 1st inst. notices the death in that vicinity of a Mr. Godfrey King, aged S3 years, the number of whose de scendants. noir tiring, is upwards of 300, of whom 134 were piesent at the funeral. Appointment by the President.—Henry D. Gil rn. of Pennsylvania, to be Governor of the Territory of Michigan, in the place of George B Porter, deceased. Vr Vork City Election.—The diminution in to* number of votes taken yesterdy, as compa nd with those taken on the first day of the tyring Election, is to be accounted for solely on the principle of the challenging system adopt ed ty our opponents. The time consumed reli ef* it impossible to receive as many votes as Qndei other circumstances would be delivered. There was not, as far as we can learn, in any the Wards where this falling off is most re markable. any pause at any time of the day in to*succession of voters, on the contrary there a steady press—but great delay incident to challenging neces-^anly excluded many votes. The enthusiasm is in an rwpects etjual to that in the Spring, and the confidence of success deci iedly greater. Cutes yesterday.

It will be a proud triumph for this city in the face of what has before occurred here, and more recently elsewhere, if an election so exciting as this, shall pass off without commotion, as we trust and beleive it will. It is always, however, well to repeat, that the authorities are abundantly prepared to put down disorder at its first appearance. A. Y. Amer.

Messrs. Carey, Lea Blanchard, have at length issued Dr. Bird’s Calacar, a Romance of Mexico, in two neat duodecimos. When this work was first mentioned in this gazette, we had read a large portion of it, and received favorable impressions of its claims on public fa vor: since that time we have finished it, and can safely add that our opinion of it as a whole is still higher. No American novel presents a heroine so interesting and so happily used as the Leila of Dr. Bird. It is necessary to be fa miliar with the real History of the Conquest to be sensible of the truth and skill of the novel ist. lie has opened a new mine of gold for the department of historical romance, in the work ing of which he is likely to improve.—Aat. Guz. A western paper in alluding to the hardnessof the times, and the difficulty of collecting bills, tells the following:—A gentleman calling at the house of an honest old lady, for the purpose of collecting a small debt, not recollecting the amount, he promised to send up his bill that even ing. The old lady supposing he meant his son Wil'iaru, replied: “Our Sail never sot up with any body yet; but bill’s a clever fellow, and they may build a fire in t'other room DIED, On Wednesday last, Mr. Ricuard Johnston, aged 73 years, one of the oldest and most re spectable citizens of Fredericksburg.

Thomas Say, the distinguished Na turalist, in the 47th year ofhis age. In the death of this eminent individual, science has to de plore an irreparable loss. It is with pair and sorrow we have learnt that letters have been received in this city announc ing the death of Joseph Pearson, Esq., of Brent wood. in the county and on the borders of ihe City of Washington. He died, we hear at Salis bury, in North Carolina, (whither he went eve ry year to examine into the management ofhis estates in that country, of which he was a na tive.) on the 27th ult.—Xat. hit. Electukre Irene nc Pont, de Nemours, is no nmre! No event, within our recollection, has spread a deeper gloom over this community, than the sudden death of this excellent man.— He died in Philadelphia on Friday morning about 8 o’clock, in the sixty-third year of his age, after a brief illness of eleven hours. He left Wilmington for Philadelphia, on Wednesday, in the apparent enjoyment of good health. On Thursday afternoon, about 4 o’clock, he was re turning to his lodgings, after transacting some business with a commercial friend, when he was struck down in the street by the treacherous dis ease, whose unseen approach no care or aftec tion could uuard against. He was removed to his lodgings at the United States hotel, where the most effective medical aid was immediately, but unavailingly, administered. Death, which loves a shining mark, had sped the arrow with unerring aim. and made sure of its victim. His disease was of the heart—a rupture of some of the les er blood vessels. It is a remarkable; co incidence, that Ids lamented brother, Victor du Pont, died of the same disease, about eight years before, in the same city. Like him, he wasstruck down in the street, and in a few hours, breathed his lust, in the same house. Wilmington Del.) Jour. E.

It will be seen, by an advertisement in ano ther part of this paper, that it is Mr. Parker’s purpose to make, very soon, an ascension from the District—having kindly offered to make this ascension lor me. Extremely do I regret the fact of my inability to make the ascension my self, occasioned by a severe indisposition, and from which I have not yet so far recovered as to leave my room for any length of time. I am, therefore, deprived of the peculiar gratification it would afford me to appear at this time before the citizens of the District. Nor can I, at this time entertain, for a moment, the least idea of there being any prospect of my retrieving my i health and strength sufficiently to warrant or justify me in the undertaking of any thing of the kind, for many long months to come. Thus long, an ascension for me, by another person, has been delayed by the fact of my rejecting other offers which were made, from time to time, by my friends, to ascend in my place; re-j jected only upon the ground of my doubting their experience—because I was fearful an in- j experienced person might bring about a failure; and this, I knew, would not be pleasing to a dis appointed audience. Dut, relying firmly upon Mr. Parker’s skill and judgment, I can, without hesitation, say that I have the fullest confidence in his undertaking proving a successful one.— This manifestation of his kindness for me I hope to be able to reciprocate; and on this occasion, I cannot omit tendering to the citizens of the District my kindest respects and gratitude, for the very liberal and hospitable treatment I re ceived, as a stranger, from them, during the whole of my stay in the District.
