From the Philadelphia Chronicle. The great Arc at Constantinople. The Malta Gazette of the 31st Aug. contain? the following account of the tire nt Constantinople: Much as we have been accustomed to hear of dreadful conflagrations in the Turkish capital, that which we announced in our last week's Gazette, as having lately taken place at Pera, appears by ulterior statement, to have been the most destructive and extensive in its consequence?, of any on record; and as no account of uch an event can be so good as the recital of an eye witness, we extract the following, verbatim, from the letter of a suffering correspondent dtted on the 8th inst. The house of Mr. Council General Cartwright is among the few that are saved. I have merely time to inform you of a calamitous event that took place herb on the 2J int. I mean one ot the most destructive fires that we have ever witnessed, and one which has come home to us the most; for I'era can hardly be said any longer to exist. It commenced in an ebscure and indigent quarter of the town, and so distant from our reiidence that we thought we were free from danger, until it burst upon us suddenly by the violence of the wind, transferring its burning embers to various contiguous places, when unfortuately it became impossible to save our property. Scarcely any of the most substantial stone residence! was able to resist the flames, and 1 think not more than five or six within their whole range have escaped; whilst it is calculated thai about 4000 house? have been consumed. I need hardly say, therefore that we saved little more than our cloths, linens, &c. and indeed ran the risk of our lives in doing this. Many others have however been more unfortunate in losing every thing, being themselves proprietors of the houses, which, thauk God! was not our case. All the palaces, with the exception of the Austrian Internuncio's, are consumed, and nothing was saved out of either, the English or French palaces; where the destruction of both public and private property has been immense. It may be considered fortunate that the flames were arrested by the falling of the wind as they were, or Galata where our warehouses & counting houses are, must have gone also, in which case the eflects would have been indeed ruinous. As it is we have merely lost furniture, which can be replaced and comfortable homes which cannot.

Latest from Europe. By the arrival of the Packet ship New York, at New York, from Liverpool, London papers to the evening of the 29th Sept. and Liverpool to the 1st Oct. have been received; by which it appears that the affairs of the unhappy Poles are not so desperate, nor the successes of the Russians so complete as they have been represented to be. The army which retired to Modlin, on the capitulation of Warsaw, were not prisoners of war, as was affirmed; but fell back upon that impregnable fortress, carrying with them their artillery, ammunition, and materials of defence. They were also accompanied by the members of the government, the Chambers, and all public functionaries. ; The Russians are reported to have lost 12,000 men in the storming of Warsaw , and were thus rendered incapable of pursuing the Polish army. The Poles have another strong army under, Gen. Romarino, at Zamosc, which is a well fortified town. They are also in' possession of several other strong for-' tresses. The patriot troops still amount to about 50,000, and as the winter is approaching, their situation is considered, by competent judges, as being far from desperate. Hopes were entertained that they would be enabled to coop up the Russian troops in Warsaw. The proclamations of Gen. Roziski breathe the very spirit of patriotism, and can scarcely fail to have a corresponding effect on the heads and hearts of those to whom they are addressed. Liverpool, Oct. 1. Reform Bill. The grand struggle which is to decide the fate of the reform bill, takes place in the houie of Lords on Monday next (Oct. 13,) and that "thrill of agony intense," which must always be felt 4when great events are on the eve,' now pervades the public breast to the exclusion of every other feeling. Another Fire at Constantinople. Accounts have been received of another dreadful fire at Constantinople at ihe end of last month, Aug. no doubt the work of incendiaries. The Royal arsenal has been set fire to but the fire was extinguished. The great destruction h at Galata, where about 100 English Warehouses are stated to have been burnt. News of the fall of Warsaw had reached St. Petersburg, and caused great rejoicings, illuminations, 5cc.

PALLADIUM. ILawrenccbur&li, Itfov. 26. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE fjr president ANDREW JACTTSOrr. ffcT1 The trustee of Lawrenceburgh township will meet at the office of J. W. Hunter, on Monday, the 5th of Diceroker next, to transact township business.

As the editor will leave home before the issu. ing of another paper, he takes this occasion to ' say, that during his absence the Palladium will ! be conducted by A'r. 11. Lad J. a gentleman whose services he has engaged, and in whose industry and qualifications, both as a printer and editor, he has great confidence. Mr. L. is a scholar of the Democratic school, and will, Without any sacrifice of private opinion, cordially, and with greater ability, perhaps, support the principles heretofore advocated by this press. The editor, during his stay at the seat of government, will avail himself of every convenient opportunity to advise his readers of the most interesting legislative proceedings ; and would be pleased to hear from them, through the usual channel, on any legislative subject in which they may be interested. Ratio of Representation . The editor of the Western Annotator is of op inion that the (question, whether the next election of President and Vice President will be held under the present ratio of representation in congress, or the one to be fixed by the census of 1331, does not admit of debate. He fays "the Constitution provides that the number of electors chosen shall correspond with the number of senators and representatives, at the time the election ii held." We incline to the belief that he has formed an erroneous conclusion. The words of the constitution are, "each state shall appoint, in. such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to wbick the state may be entitled in the congress.'It seems unreasonable to suppose that those states which have more than doubled their population since the present ratio was fixed, should be entitled to no increase of electoral votes, and at the same time those states, whose population has remained stationary, or nearly so, should suffer no diminution. The census returns were complete some months ago, and we presume the ratio of representation will bo fixed at the approaching session of congress, and the electors of President and Vice President chosen in conformity with that ratio. The ratio will probably be fixed at 48, or 50,000; if the former we shall be gainer, while some of the eastern states will be losers. This is a subject of more importance than at first view would be supposed ; for we confidently believe that a majority of those states which have made the greatest increase in population, will be favorable to the present administration ; whilst those whose representation would be lessened (such as Massachusetts, Connecticut, &c.) will be opposed to it. Since the above was in type we have been favored with the perusal of the Cincinnati Gazette of Thursday. The editor's opinion, us will be seen by the following extract, ig in perfect accordance with our own. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS. A question is mooted whether electors for President and Vice-President, are to be chosen, in 1832, according to the ratio of representation, in the present Congress, or according to the ratio of representation under the census of 1830. It is, I perceive, gravely maintained, by pome that the number of electors must be regulated, by the present ratio. This is undoubtedly an error. The same case occurred, in 1812, when Mr. Madison's re-election was opposed by Mr. Clinton. No question was then made but that the new census, and the ratio of representation under it, determined the number of electors. They were chosen, in every State upon this basis. Ohio elected eight electors, when, otherwise, she would have been entitled to but three. This seems to be the age of strange ! doctrines. Nobody started this notion in 1812. Coffee. Perhaps all our readers may not be able to account for the present high price of this article. A reduction of the duty, from two cents to one cent the pound, is to take place on the 1st of January, 1832, and all cofiee deposited in the custom house stores, which shall remain there till after that period will, by a provision of the law, be entitled to this reduction. On the 2 1st of October, there were 4,231,500 lbs. in bond in Philadelphia; in Baltimore, the 24th of October, 3 003,520 lbs. ; in Boston, 8,500,000 lbs.; making a total, in three ports only, of 1.5,790,020 lbs ! and a saving of S137.900 in j duties will thus be made. We have seen no accouut of the quantity deposited in New-York and the other large ports, but it is undoubtedly immense. We cannot, therefore, look for any reduction in the price of cofiee till afier the 1st of January . Teas and cocoa are subject to a similar provision. A regiment of New York militia were recently routed, horse, foot, and dragoons, by what do )ou suppose tkey were routed by, genlie reader? by a dvovt of cattle The animals were frightened by the music and martial show, and run ahead among the raitks, throwing them into utter confusion. One man and a youth were badly hurt.

Gen. .hhl'v, a fr!end of the s.dmV.stre.'.'on, has been elected member of congress from Mis souri, in the place of Mr. Pettis, deceased.

We are gratified wiih the spirit which pervades this state in regard to the Democratic Convention, to be held at Indianapolis, in De cember. Nearly all our exchange papers contain accounts of large delegations from the different counties. The Clay Convention, lately held at the same place, will, we opine, be completely obumbrated. Horrible- In Tazwell county, 1 linois, there is said to be but one regularly educated phsician, while there are fftten tteata Doctors. If the knowledge of this fact do not atop the tide of emigration to that section of country, all the plagues ot Egypt would not. We recommend to the perusal of our readers ! the article from the Washington City Globe, on our first page. It piesents the most pluusibie history of the origin and progress of the intrigues by which the government has been embarrassed, which we have yet seen. It can scarcely fiil to interest candid men of every political creed. The legislature of Vcw-Jersey has e'ected a Jackson Governor, a Jackson Chief Justice.and all the officers of the legislature are Jackson men, with the exception of the door keeper. From the Cincinnati Gazette. NEW YORK ELECTION. The N ew York Commercial Advertiser, thus nolices the probable result of the late election in the Stale of NewYork: 'All told, we believe the National Republican party in the next legislature, uill number fire members t possibly it may be increased to six oo more. The Anti-Masons will have about a score and a half. The residue will be thorough-going, unflinching Regencymen ready to go the whole quadruped, and the tail of another one. We hope our snug little Clay party of five, will be united, and move Id a solid pbalsox, upon all important national questions. We hope, too, that our friends of the National Intelligencer, and National Journal, the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, Bnd the Boston papers, will perceive a tign in this result, from which they will learn that there is oo use in rowing with broken oars, agaiust the wind and tide. "Bring me some music, and look you that it be sad.'' The Editor might have extended his hopes to the Louisville Daily Journal, Lexington Observer, Cincinnati American, and sundry other chivalrous establishments in the West, that row "zcith broken oars against wind and tide" as zealously as auy he has named. By the way, I believe the relative result of the late election, in Pennsylvania, is about the came as in New York. As I nm given over, by the Commander-in-Chief, at Louisville, the book-making bantam of the whole Clay party, to fight "m a gang ly myself" I hope I may publish the real state of facts without prejudice to any body. If is somewhat of ja privilege in these days, that the Editor's peremptoriness cannot hurt any one but hirceelf. I must not, however, omit to notice, that there is something to boast of, in the New York election. Last year, there were two Clay men in the House of 'Assembly. If there be eix this year, the Clay party have a gain of two hundred per cent!!! As it is made charge against the Gazette, that it has not proclaimed all the exhilarating gain and cheering victories of the friends of Mr. Clayf I have felt bound to make this known, iu the redemption of my character.

Died, on Flat Rock, Decatur county, on the the 22d of Oct. last, in the 28th year of her nge, Mrs. Anna, consort of Mr. Philander Ross, of Manchester. Mrs. Ross had long been allhcted with a severe illness, and had gone on a visit

thcr change of place or skill of phvsi cians to remove. Happy indeed, Mrs. Ross had timely prepared for her great and last change. She, in early life heartily embraced religion, and became a useful and worthy member of the M. E. Church; and that religion which had so often happitied her soul in the days of her youth and health, did not

cease nillictton and decline. She retained an unusual confidence in her Saviour until she fell asleep in death. The following acrostic is an epitaph which she composed, sacred to her own memory : A tid now I'm lain beneath this earthly sod, N o more to rise till Gabriel's trimpsijHll sound, N or till the mighty voice is heard from God, A rise ye dead from underneath the ground ! li eturn my dust, thv fiaviour calls, arise ; O ft thou lust felt siiliction's sharpest pain, S ate with thy L rd now reign above the kies, S weetly his promised rest thou shalt obtain. This is one of the most interesting deaths that we have ever been called to record. A letter from her sister, (when she expired,) to her husband, states that her dying request was, that her friends should all seek religion, and prepare to meet her in Heaven. She then requested that the Rev. A. J.

Cotton f-iouTd preach her Mineral rcr moa, at her own house, from Job xix.

25 or 26 which reads thus or 1 know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand in the latter day upon the earth and though after my ekin worms destroy this body yet in my flesh shall I see God." She then with a composure which naught but pure religion could inspire, closed her own eyes folded her urms apon her breast and sweetly fell asleep in the arms of Jesii?, without a struggle or a groan. She has left an affectionate husband and one child, together with u luimerou$ circle of friends and relatives to mourn their irreparable loss. Her funeral sermon was attended to on the 30tn inst wen a very appropriate and feeling sermou was preached by the Rev. A.J. Cotton, from the text above quoted, to as large and attentive a congregation as ever was convened in the neighborhood, who were much affected, and we trust profited by the discourse, for it was delivered "with an ability that supassed the expectations of the numerous friends of our departed sister. A FRIEND. Nov. 23, 1831. Designed as a t'A-en of respeet, to tie memory of Bins. JANE I.UDX.OW. Where cheerfulness dwelt, and happiness re-gn'd, Where order was found. And peace smiled around, With charity crown'd, The lov'd flower is nip'd, and each bosom pain'd. Could afTictjon tie, hare warded the blow, Nor husband or father. Nor fond pious mother. Nor sister or brother. Nor children or Friends have tasted of woe. Oh Death ! thou hast torn a kind mother and wife, A family's stay Thou hast taken away. When the beams of midday Shone lair, and promis'd a long useful life. We mourn not without hope in Cod was her trust; Her blest'd spirit is fled, And pillom'd her head With the 'lone silent dead: Her boul has a mansion aboro with the just. Oh grieve not, but follow the footstep she tiod; Our loss is her pain, Freed from sorrow and pain, A tear she don't claim, Her example points us to her Clod. That meek, humble walk sweet. to memory haw So placid, so mi d, Tho prosperity's chi'd, Wealth her heart ne'er beguil'd; She fell prayerful! at Jesus's feet. The husband's lone pillow bears witness of tears, A flection is cleft. The fireside is left. The board is bereft Of the wife, who has deckM it for years. The mansion is desolate, shrouded in jjloom, The daughters no guide, No one to preside, Slow the moments do glide. For the mother lies low in the tomb. An ag'd father has lost the child of his heart, Nature heav'd a deep sigh, Oief swell'd in his eye, Dissolv'd was the tie, That death only would sever and part. The mother whose bosom bcam'd kindness anj love ; Iloll'd her cares upon God, In whose path she had trod, Bow'd low to the rod. For her treasure was laid up above. She was silent in'grief, for she knew the great giver, From whom blessings below. Continually flow. That the world do not know, Their parting will not be forever. The sisters have lost a companion and frirnd, Whose virtues they prize. Whose heart knew no guize, Whose kind sympathies. Will be felt until memory shall end. A P1UKND. November 2 1st, 10.11.
