and George H. Dunn appointed secretary. The meeting being organized, on motion of John Test, a committee of five tmi appointed to draft a suitable Adrc;i and Resolutions, expressive of the gentiments of the meeting; and John Test, Daniel A. B. C. Fox, Joshua Haynes, Henry J. Bowers, and William Tate, were appointed; and after having retired for sorrie time, the committee reported an Address and the following resolutions, which were unanimoualy adopted by the meeting. 1. Resolved, That we view the exten

sive and systematic plan? marked out and

progressing under the influence of the present administration, for the improve

ment of tfrs country by means of Roads

and Canals, and by encouraging domes tic manufactures to the exclusion of for

eign fabrics, as ot the utmost importance to the welfare and independence of the union, in binding these states together by

the indissoluble bonds of a common in

terest, in rendering us superior to that

slavish dependence upon a foreign coun

try for the necessary articles of clothing,

and in affording a home market for our

surplus produce. - 2. Resolved, That in support of this

sentiment we recommend to our fellow

citizens the re-eleetion of John Quincy Adams as president of the United States,

knowing him to be entirely friendly to these great interests of his country, as is

evidenced by the early history ot his po

Ktical life, and by the whole course of

his administration. . We further recom

mend hinr, believing him to be the most accomplished statesman now afforded by our country and in all respects qualified by his education, long experience in public affairs, by his talents, temper and Kabits of industry, to discharge with credit to himself and honor to his country, the duties of that station. 3. Resolved, That we do net approve of the election of Andrew Jackson to

that office. Inasmuch as we consider. Foglisb, 3

mm unqualified by reason of his limited French, 3

education and information in public af

fairs, and by the rashness of his temper. And inasmuch as we believe him to be

Nichol, .Richard Bailey, and T Puraell, of Laughery township. i. Resolved, That, in Case any of the

delegates, appointed by this meeting,

should be unable to attend the proposed

convention', the other members thereof

are authorized to supply such vacancy. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the chairman and secretary, and published in the Indiana Palladium. EZRA FERRIS, PresU. George H. Dunn, Secfy.

HIGHLY JMPORTAJYT. At a late hour last evening, .we received, by the politeness of a passenger in the Citizen's Line, from New York, a

copy of the N. York Morning Courier, of!

yesterday, from which we copy the following impoftant items of foreign intelli

gence received by the packet ships Wm.

Ihompson, Capt. Maxwell, and the Bayard, Capt. Robfcon, bringing Liverpool dates to the 17th Nov. With reference to the great victory obtained, the Globe of the 15th Nov. as

serts that "every possible means will be

oerformed without a tremendous loss of

human blood. The Turkish Admiral bad 650 men killed, and the loss of .the others in proportion. 'The loss of the Allies have been great, among the English slain, are Captain Walter Barthust, of bis Majesty's ship Genoa; Lieut. Fitzroy; Mr. Smith, the master of the Asia, and many other gallant officers and men, making a total loss in the British Squadron of 20 officers, 21 petty officers, and 213 men killed and wounded. Asia had hermizen mast shot away, and her main mast severely injured. The French and Russian fleets took a very active part. The French Admiral De Rigney, signalized himself by an act of chivalrous gallantry, not havingbeen abletogel hisown flag ship satisfactorily into action, changed

The Russians on the Danube and Pruth are about eighty thousand strong, under marshal Wittgenstein, prepared for instant operation, and a still greater force is ready to support them, under marshal Sachen; the British have strong garrisons at Corfu, Malta and Gibraltar, and France is near at hand.

HOUSE OF REPRESETATIVES. December 1 1 . On motion of Mr. Smith, of Indiana, Resolved, That the Committee of Military Pensions be instructed to inquire into the expediency of providing, by law that the affidavit of the applicant for a pension for Revolutionary services, as to the facts that are now required to be proved by two disinterested witnesses, together with the affidavit of two credible disinterested witnesses, swearing to the credibility of the applicant, and that they verily believe that his affidavit isirue, shall be sufficient evidence of the service of such applicant, to place him on

the pension roll, provided that it snail also appear by5 the affidavit of such applicant, that he cannot procure the evidence of service now required, owing to a want of knowledge of the residence of the witnesses, after having made diligent inquiry for the place of their residence, or owing to their decease. On motion of Mr. Jennings, t was Resolved, That the Committee on Public Lands be instructed to inquire into the expediency of the granting rights of pre-emption to such purchasers of the public lands as have relinquished under the iwAs of Congress, to extinguish the debt due to the United States by the purchasers of public lands, where the lands so relinquished have not actually been re-sold. Dec. 12. Mr. Little asked and obtained leave to introduce the following bill: A Bill fixing the ratio of Representatives after the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-three. Be it enacted, &LC. That, from and after the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-three, and after the fifth census shall have been taken, the appointment of the representation shall be in the ratio of one Representative for every sixty thousand persons in each State, computed according to the rule prescribed by the Constitution of the United States. The bill was twice read, and committed to a Committee of the Whole on the state of our Union. Dec. 4. A great number of petitions

and memorials were presented this day ; among which were remonstrances from

sundiy citizens of South Carolina, against an increase of duty on foreigo, imports. The speaker laid before the House a memorial of citizens of the city of Philadelphia, setting forth that at a general election in October, 186, in the state of Pennsylvania, for members of congress, upon counting the votes "in the regular congressional ballot boxes,"' there was found to be an equal number of votes for John Sergeant and Henry Horn, upon

which it was declared that no.choice ha& been made: That, in counting, the votes contained in the "coronor's" ancf other boxes, there was found a number of votes in favor of Henry Horn, over and above those given for John Sergeant," Under these circumstances, the memorialists submit to the consideration of the house "the propriety of instituting an investigation into the premises." The speaker presented to the house the communication from Mr. Randolph, praying to be excused from serving ou committee of Ways and Means, on ac

count of ill health; which vas accordingly granted.

signal for attack. The British admiral proudly led in the Asia, and placing her between the Turkish & Egyptian admirals, opened a tremenduus tire upon the former. The Egyptian admiral having sent a message, declaring that he would not fire a gun, Mr. Mitchel, Sir Ed. Codrington's interpreter, was sent on board, but he was basely shot, and tbe admiral immediately fired upon the Egyptian admiral. The action became general on both sides, and continued with great fury for four hours, when it terminated by the complete destruction of the whole Turkish and Egyptian fleet, consisting of 4 sail of the line, 15 frigates. 15 corvettes, 9 brigs, 3 fire ships, and numerous transports, &,c. The ships which had escaped the fury of the attack were run on shore by the Turks themselves and destroyed. This glorious achievmenthas not beeD
