Thi General expressed the satisfaction which Mi Adams gave him, in terms the most fl ttering- I mention cd this in a larg.- company, and the Venerable William Uiyly, who was pres.. nt, and who I know used often to Visit the General declared that he also h ard iho G O'.ral say, he thought Mr John Q uncy Adams trie most promising young man in the United Stat' , aud tnat the General spoke of him in the v. ry highest terms.

When individuals are filling tne papers with the mot violent a'mse of this gentleman, the minds of many good men may be erroneously impressed; and it is sometimes diffi. ult t divest the mindo! injurious inpr-ssons, though the usu i only of malevolent sa'casms devoid ot tru r intended merely to operate to his political disadvantage; an I though what I have stated may off nd same, yt I know that good mn will duly appreciate whatever ma tend to 'he removal of error; and 1 have now mfely performed a duty to (he pulxic. I lament that some of the newspapers have become the vehicles of ab'jse I have the honor of knowing Well evry gentleman who has been propped tor President, and I can say, win iruui, that each of them is worthy of the high honor to which their friends have thought it proper to solicit the pu'dsc favor in their behalf.

The British Parliament was prorogued, on the I9,h, to the 20:h Juy. In thr King's bpeeck on this o casion, he reg.ets that his efforts to preserve the peace ol Europe nave been unsuccessful, and states that he continues to receive from all foreign power assurances of their amicable disposition to wards England The London Sun of July 21 says, the tKXt accounts Irom Cm lz re expected to announce tne liberation " Monllo had delivered up Lug uo the French The French enter d Vd la Franca without meeting with any enemy, and say they have also taken Cordova It is said in French papers that two regiments under Zivas had gone over to the French It was reported Gen. Siraficld had tli j gone oyer to the French.

ihe French had commenced the bombardment ofCorunna, which was defended by Sir R Wilson, who is Mid to have 6000 men to oppose 4500.

The accounts trom this place are to tne I5ih July It was provisioned for six months; and it was thought the French could not blockade it by sea 1: was reported at Lisbon on the 24tn, that an important battle had n n I ught near Corunna, in which the French were defeated. A Col. Watson and Major Brisco, (of Su Robert's staff) were at Lisbon July 3W, on their way to Corunna from Cadiz, where they had arranged a treaty between the Cortes and Mr R. They stated t:iat the affairs of Spain were rather looking ui, md th it the French troops nur Catiz would soon have to retire unles they rective considerable reinforcements. At Lisbon, July 25ih, it was said, there was considerable disunion in the Portuguese Cabinet, and that several distinguished individuals had been arrested AJoyal Portuguese Magistrate has stated that those who cry E' Rei Absolute,' do not wis t for a R.ng with arbitrary anddcspoiic power, out only lor a King with power to make the lawsand t x -cute them! i. A French despatch from the camp before Sitnt Sebastian says, that nego tiations have been entered upon, J ut were broken off 'The garrison would hate given up tlu fortress, but wishes to march out with honors of War Tue commander jot the blockade replied, that be would taks possession of the fortress, and that the gairison should be prisoners " Gen.

He goes further, and declares that, A large portion of the people are convinced that it is the cause of a faction which we defend, rather than the cause of the liberal principles on which the Constitution is founded, so much the more, as it is now openly observed, that those who were most tenacious in their refusal in coming . to terms, and who, having been prevented from forming a conspiracy, hastened" the tempest which is sinking the vessel of Stale, have been the first to place themselves individually in security against it " Mina, Ballasteros, Quiroga, and Wilson, still continue to brave the Fiench. Paris dates arc to July 20. It is stated that the French army beseiging Cadiz had retired from St. Mary's to X res, in const qutnee of several reverses which Gen.

OF A NEW PERIODICAL WORK To be fiu&iibied at Connersville, indt" enc: ENTI I LED VesterLaAves,) CasAtrt, And Edited by a Female "Improve, excel, surmount, subdue your fale! So shall at length enlightened man efface That ilaviih stigma, seared on half the race." The entire tendency ot this publica lion will be todistminate useful knowledge and to excite a taste for mental improvement, particularly among the female part of the community. Should as-y apology De necessary for this undertaking, it njy be found in the following fact, that "knowledge is power;" ihat intelligence and virtue are itu two main pillars by which our republican edifi:e is supported, and, that reading ii one of the most natural and fhcicnt means of acquiring useful information. Well conducted weekly and semimonthly publications, opn at a modelate expense, sources of the most ?al-

liable information to all classes of the rnmmimiiv. Bv their means of disco

veries made by different departments of the arts and sciences, and the most important and interesting events winch transpire u. the political, literary and religious world, are made known to thousands, who would otherwise never have acquired any knowledge of them And by continually presenting new subjects of reflection and new topics of conversation, to persons whose employments allow them nut lube time for rcadtng, must cherish, in young people particularly, a desire for IntelIcctial improvement . Although a higher degree of dignity and consequence is assigned to woman in this heaven f vored land, than in almost any country; yet all who have a just sense of the value of an enlighten d mind, and contemplating that the daughters ot America are destined to Ik companions and mothers, never, it is hoped, of the slaves of a despot, but but of freemen ol citizens of a great and happy rt public, and considering the inesisiable influence of a parent over the infant mind, and the extent to which early impressions will teach in forming the character of the iisr,ig generation must acknowledge that woman's true importance in the scale cf society, is not so highly acknowledged as it deserves. Add to these facts, that ''knowledge is d.ffusedby social intercourse, m domestic conversation, in parties, in business and pUabur ; tr:at teinales re endowed with a greater fondness tor conversation, than nun, and they :re more immediately enliusted wuh the rearing and instructing ol the tender and susceptible minds ot those under whose ad. nimstration our i vil and ieligious institutions are to stand or fallt and tne argument in favor ot publications of thi kind beeem s irresistible. As a prodigality of promises (tho fashionable) would be no mark ot w isdom and integrity; and wishing to be concise in her prospectus, the editor would only observe that the pages of the "Casket," shall be devoted chiefly to such selections and oiiginal essays, as may bo deemed best calculated to enlighten & assist females in the administration of the duties of their peculiar sphere and station, to piomote general instruction, to encourage a vi.tuous life, and excite to industrious and economical habits. A concis sketch of the most enterpiizing religious intelligence, will also fi id a place in this repository. The editor earnestly solicits tne correspondence of ladies a :d gentlemen, who, by study, leflcction or experi i nee, are qualified to add to the common stock of knowledge, any thing connected with either ot the above subjects. As this, perhaps, is the first publication attempted to be published by a female, in th western country, a hope is entertained that it will not te deficient n merit, or short in duration, for want of a liberal support. A volume oi the Casket shall consist of twenty four numbers; of which two will be published every month, each containing 16 octavo pages. The last number of each volume shall contain an index to the whole volume, and will be accompanied with a title page and list of names of those who patronize the work. The paper used in the work will be good, and ihe punting executed wuh the greatest care. The work will be published at the office of the Indiana Statt smart, lor the editor, and under her immediate mspect'on It will be put to press, as soon as a sufficient number ol subscribers shall be obtained The price, one dollar per yecr, if paid on the delivery of the first number, or one dollar twenty five cents; payable quarterly in advance to such as omit the advance, one dollar and fif ty cents. The editor has taken the liber'y to forward copies of the prospectus lo some ladies and gentlemen whom she thought would be likely to patronize the work, and assist in extending us circulation: those who approve cf the plan are authorized and requested to receive subscriptions, and letain for their services te.i per cent on the amount collected for the editor. The names cf subscribers should be

fnrwarded to the Editor by the first of September. July 21, 1823. A few copies of the proposals for this work were distributed in April las: but causes not within the controul of the editor, disenabled her from using the exertions necessary to procure sufficient patronage. The amount of the returns made for the papers dis tributed, leaving no room to doubt of the success in obtaining a support, has encouragi d the editor in prosecuting her design. subscriptions received at this Office. . 39 By the President of the United States.
