The foreign policy adopted by our Go eminent soon after the formation of our present Constitution, and very generally pursued by successive administrations, has been crowned with almost complete success, and has elevated our character amongst the nations cf the earth.

Us governing maxim; and so happy have been its results, that we are not only at peace with all the world, but have few causes of controversy, and those of minor importance, remaining unadjusted. In the domestic policy of .this Government, there are two objects which especially deserve the attention of the People and th ir Representatives, and which have bc-n, and will continue to he, the subjects of my increasing solicitude. They are the -.reservation of the rights of the several States, and the integrity of the Union. These oljects are necessarily connected, and can on! .- he attained lv an enlightened exeiri"

reason why another man should not be allowed to have warm clothing. It is perhaps, to he regretted that the question cf the Ballot in A.merica should have been mixed up with the question of the ballot in England, because the circumstan

ces of England differ so materially from those of

America. l here may be a hundred reasons why the Ballot should be inoperative in America, for one in England that should he so. In England we have seen that the Ballot is infinitely more necessary than it is in America. There is always danger too, of misrepresentaion and misconception, when the theatre of observation is distant. Sat. Cour.

The terrible crisis is very handsomely hit off

in the following paragraph:

"If a stranger were to read the speculations of our journalists and the impassioned harangues of

our public orators, he would come to tne conclusion that our nation was in a crisis an awful crisis, for that is the loud cry. Tiierc is no truth in it. The nation was never more prosperous and happy Carolina and all. It is not the nation, that is in a crisis only some aspi zing politicians. Mr. Calhoun, it is true, is in a crisis so is Gov. Haync in ncrins hut. as for our country and its Constitution and our liberty, they never stood stronger.

Translation of a letter from the Secretary of the Interior and Foreign Relations of Central America, to the Secretary of State of the U. States. REPUBLIC OF CENTRAL AMERICA. Depxrtvent of FoaE'GX Relations.) in Guatemala, ?th August, 1832.$ The. undersigned, has the honor of expressing to the Secretary of State of the United Spates, the deep regret felt by this Government, on receiving news of the death of Mr. Shannon, the Cearged ' Affairs of the United States, which took place at Isabel. By this unfortunate event a valuable citizen was lost to his country, and the arrangement of business of the utmost importance to both nations was interrupted. The government is the more deeply affected by the death of Mr. Stf vnxos. inasmuch as it occurred within the Territory of the Republic, and ai a place where he v, as left without that assistance which would have been afforded with the greatest satisfaction had notice been received in time of the arrival of the unfortunate gentleman: but as that was not given, the modesty of Mr. Shannon, probably preventing him. the government can only express its sorrow for the event, and its fervent hope that the U. S. will not he thereby deterred from prosecuting their original intentions. The undersigned having performed this melancholy duty, requests the Honorable Secretary of State, to accept the assurance of his unfeignen esteem.

FIRST ACT OF NULLIFICATION. We noted on Saturday, the first act of Xuiiification in South Carolina. The nullification of a devastating fire by those who were sent to nullify nullification. It is clear enough ihatl roi net Uncle Sam's land and sea forces come to the rescue, Charleston would have been nullified by the 'peaceable remedy' of fire. Cin. Gcz. The Aitnw. The first battalion of the "Sints Volunteers," paraded yesterday afternoon for inspection, under the command of Major Edwards. Their fine and soldiery appearance renders h a matter of regret that they were not enrolled in a holier caure.

The bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Chy, which has for its ovj ?cl a modlficai'cn of the Tariff, was, on Saturday night, ordered to a third reading in that body, and will no doubt pass it.

As there is now little reason to expect the parage of the bill concerning the Tariff which has been so long before the House, it seems possible, at lerV., ti.;;t if the bill passes the Senate to-day or te rr.f i i-w. it may also pass the other House.
