S 9fo:ig is the Uv of life, that three can(Sidates presented themselves for this awful arui bloody office, each boasting his skill in the nit of decapitation A Frenchman, a Spaniard, and an Englishman. The day of election was fixed. TV hen a number of unhappy victims werei 'brought up for slaughter, and an ample .-jBUpplv of swords was provided "for the icxporiment. The Frenchman -made the ifirad attempt, and at one blow, off went the prisoner7 head. Monsieur exultation was visibleto all the spectators, when the Spaniaid intintnted, that if a yiobon could be fixed round the throat .of his victim, as a mrak, he would prove 'fiis superior dexterity by cutting exactly 'through its centre, -which he oul svith superior facility. Vhen the Englishman not at all dismayed by the success of the Spaniard, selected a sharp and fine sabre, and made a blow at the neck of his u.ifortunate prisoner-4 Mi V aid the pr soner. you have missed me."

E.iecutiv Messrs, Hector, Cook, (of Madison) and Evans.

The convention has fixed a number of important principles of the Constitution : among others, that th stated meeting of the General Assembly shall be biennial; that the representatives shallbe 2.5 & the Senators 30 years of age ; that ministers of the gospel bhall not b eligible to either houses of the legislature. An excellent provision on tke subject of counties is also adopted, limiting the minimum si.e to 2j mile square. Ths article on slavery has ntyet been acted upon, but will probably pass as reported without any essential alteration. Enquirer. lto me. Feb. 10. According to letters from Cairo, the celebrated Ali-Pacha with a considera ble army has conquered Palestine, and a J body ot troops have already entered Jerusalem. Corydon, June 15. The Governor and Gen, John Tipton, one of the Commissioners, to locate the scite for the permauent spat of Government, returned to thi& place on the 1 1th inst, from whom we have obtained the information that the Commissioners have; selected sections, No. 1 and J 2, and Fractions No. 2, and 11, and so much of Fraction No. S, as may require, to make Four entire sections, in Township No. 15, north of .Range No. S east, of the second principal meridian, situated on the east side of ths West Fork cf White River, at the mouth of Fall cicek. 67 miles from Brookville, 35 miles from f Lawreuceburg, 83 miles from Madison, 108 miles from Cory don, 107 miles from Vinccnues, and 71 miles frou TerreHaute. The venerable Charles Thompson, Esq. secretary to the. first congress, has recovered from his late severe illness, so far as to he able to attend to the labour of his farm. Fhilnd. Gazette. Yew-Turk. Taking every thing into consideration in connexion with the late flection- we have great cause to rejoice. Out of 90,000 votes, Mr. CinfoK,by dint of great management and intrigue, succeeds by a small majority but succeeds only to the office, without the power. The security of the electoral votes, the triumphant republican majority in both houses, the election of a republican speaker, the appointment of 10,000 officers in the state, the change in the canal commissioners, the power of calling & convention and extending the elective franchise, and all those legislative privileges, rights and imnranilies growing out a m-vjuritif, are causes, indeed, af rejoicing; added to this, the probable unanimous vote of the anion given to eur fellow-citizen, Tompkins, for the Vice Presidency, will evince the estimation in which h? is held. We scarcely open a republican paper that does not lament the election of Clinton ; we do not open a federal one without perceiving some indication of joy at his success. L'M these things be remember ed ; let Mr Clinton be considered thro'out the union as the federal candidate h is so, though he will make every eflort to avoid the. odium he has succeeded through their assistance ; let him be identified, hereafter, with that party. All will then be ri-ht. xYat. ddv. The vames of our vessels. Most of our readers doubtless recollect a resolution of congress, passed at the session before the last, establishing a sytem according to which the armed vessels of the United should be named; their appellations having been previously thereto selected at the pleasure of the navy derrtment or of the officers subordinate to it. Agreeably to the mode adopted by the navy department of determining the names ut our vessel of war, under the resolution of congress, the navy commis sioners proceeded on the 2oth ult. we j luueraiaKu, u assign oy tot t!ie name I . - A. a 1 . .

She glided into the water in a majestic stile,and no accident occurred. .She is a vessel of the first class built of the best materials, and with great care, by Mr. Eckford. Lew case.

Strong efforts arc making by the citizens of Baltimore, to preervyoung Hull from the ignominious punishment to which he has been sentenced, for the murder of the mil driver. A petition i in circulation fr signatures, nrayin the governor of Maryland to commute his punishment front death toi perpetual imprisonment. The facts, that Hull is about 20 vearg of ajre, that he was drawn into the crime by an unknown adventurer, that the plan was not fully disclosed to him until he was under the exrifement of perpetration,' that he has manifested the utmost penitence and contrition, and the certificate of l)r. Reese, that the wound from the pistol would not necessarily have proved fatal, but that each of the stabs made bv Hntton was a death wound, have interested many in the attempt to save the life of Hull. Dr. Hull, his wife, son and daughter, are now at Baltimore. Vaf. Advocate.
