ANDREW JACKSON. By the President: LOUIS McLANE, Secretary of State. LATE FROM ENGLAND. The Sylvanus, Jenkins, at New York, from Liverpool, sailed from thejatter place on tho 1 1th ult. The London Globe of theSlh, says "We have great satisfaction in stating that a telegraphic despatch has been received at Paris from Bayonne, dated the 0th instant, announcing that Don Carlos had embarked for England, and that the affairs of Portugal had been arranged between Don Miguel and Don Pedro. The intelligence was brought to Bayonne by the French Secretary of Embassy, who left Madrid on the 3d." The Sun says-The Lord Nelson, at Dartmouth, from Lisbon, brings a report that Coimbra and Fi'gucra have been taken by the Pedroites, and that Don Carlos has put himself under the protection of the British. The London Times of the 10th contains the following extract of a letter from Toulon, dated May 1 "On the celebration of the King's fete, the following melancholy accident occurred. At 12 o'clock, all the batteries and the ships in the road Ftead fired salutes. Two American frigates here also paid the same compliment to the day, but unfortunately the gunners of the Constellation forgot that some of their guns were loaded with shot, and firing within pistol shot of the Suffren, one of the balls entered a port hole, killed one of the sailors, carried away the leg of another. Some of the shot entered the hull, and five or six men were wounded by splinter?, and obliged to be sent to the hos pital." Preserving Bacon. There is muck said about preserving Bacon. I have noticed in all the communications on the subject, that it is recommended to have the Bacon well dried; and I think this is the principal thing required; If bacon is not well dried, there is nothing that it can be packed in that will keep it pound. When Bacon is hung up for drying, boards, or plank should be laid on the joists over it, in order to keep dirt or dust from falling on it, also to keep the smoke from escaping too soon. A smoke should be kept under it till it is thoroughly dry, and be continued m'wet weather in the summer. Whoever will follow this plan will Eave their bacon. Louisville Ky Maxsemond counly, Va.

' The Bank is not obliged to criminate itself!" Says the board of Directors. Here is a pretty admission! This heretofore immaculate, and much abused institution; whose purity of purpose was to have thrown even President Jackson's patriotism into the shade, and its popularity to have overwhelmnedhim; when asked for the evidence of its honesty and uprightness, makes tho dignified answer of the associate felon at the witnesses stand, "Tte Bank is not obliged to criminate itself!" And straightway the counsel for the culprit, Messrs. Ellsworth and Everett, urge the ob

jections before the American people. INow suppose, reader, you had heard a report that your friend or neighbor had committed murder; that the victim of his intemperate passion was concealed in his cellar; that the marks of blood were on his floor; and anxious both for public good and private reputation, you had gone to the door of his house and requested to investigate the truth of tho matter by examination. What would you think, if he met you on the step with a lowring brow and said, "&ir, am not obliged to criminate myself!" Or suppose you had a relation whom you honored, respected, and loved. His standing high in society; his wealth sufficient to both give him influence and raise him enemies. You had heard rumors injurious to his character. It was whispered that his wealth was gained by counterfeiting; that a gang of associates nightly assembled in the C7 - secret chambers of his mansion. For a long time you repelled what you considered the slander, with indignation. At last )ou mention it to him. Ho is surprised invites you to an investigation of his whole affiirs to satisfy you of his innocence. The day for such investigation is fixed. You attend on him, look through his house examine his books, all save one. You lay your hands on that one. He requests that you will not look into it you insist lie denies you cling to the book he forces it rudely from your grasp. 'What does this mean?' "Sir," he replies, "I am not obliged to criminate myself '!" Or suppose you saw, at the witnesses stand, in the court of oyer and terminer, a pleasant looking fellow, dressed in the finest English broad-cloth, rufiled shirt, gold snuffbox, "which ever and anon he gave his nonse," who calls himself Lord Nicholas Panic, and who, at every third question put to him by the Attorney General, answered, "May it please your honor, J am not obliged to criminate myself!" What would you think? 07-Remem-ber this is the answer given by the Bank Directors, upon refusing to permit an examination of their affairs by the investigating committee of the people of the United States.CQ Trenton Emporium. The melancholy death of the ardent and scientific explorer of Central Africa thediscoverer of the long sought mouth of the Nile has already been noticed; but tho following circumstantial account will still be read with interest: New-Yorker. African Expedition. Death of Mr. Lander Wo regret to learn that intelligence has been recieved of the death of the interprising African traveller, Richard Lander. He was fired upon and severely wounded by the natives on the Nunn river, where he had gone for thefpurpose of trade, early in the month of January, and he died at Fernando Po. on the 2d of February. The following extract of a letter from Capt Fuge, of the Crown, contains all the particulars of this melancholy event that are yet known. Mr. Lender was buried by Capt. Fuge on the day he died. "Mr. Richard Lander expired at Fernando Po. on Sunday, the 2d of February, on his way up into the interior with a schooner boat, loaded with goods for trade, and two canoes which were towed from Cape Coast by tho cutter Crown. He was attacked on all sides by bushrnen, all armed with musketry. One win to and two black men wero killed; one woman and a child, with a boy were taken prisoners. Mr. Lander and the remainder fortunately managed to get into one of tho canoes and pull for their lives. Mr. Lander received a shot in his hip; a seaman and two Kroomen wero also severely wounded. They left the Crown to proceed up the river on the 13th, and returned to the cutter on the 21st of January. They lost every thing belonging to them. Mr. Lander lost all his papers, not one remains to be shown. The Crown got under weigh, and arrived at Frenando Po. on Snuday the 26tb. Mr. Lander's wound had mortified, but he died quite composed." Hot Springs of Arkansas. A writer in the Little Rock Gazette gives the following description of the hot springs of Arkansas : The springs are about five miles in a direct line from tho Washita river, and about a quarter of a de gree north of the Louisiana line. They break out of the side of a mountain, are very numerous and abundant in water; indeed they burst out everywhere in the sides and bottom of a pretty rocky creek, into which they all run. It is said that they are seventy in number. They are so numerous, and their heat so great, that after two or three weeks of dry weather, the creek becomes too hot to bathe in opposito tho springs, and bathers go from an eighth to a quarter of a mile below, where the water is bearable. The exact temperature we could not ascertain; but it exceeds 150 dcg. of Fahrenheit's thermometer. I should judge the warmest spring to have a temperature of 180 deg. Practical persons will recognize tho degrees of heat by the fact, that the water will readily scald the hair from hogs. I believe they are the warmest waters known, except those of Hecla, in Iceland. Tho water retains its heat for a great length of time; let into a bath at night it is of a right temperature to bathe in, in tho morning. It is used either by bathing in the water or by exposing the body to the steam which arises from it when con fined, and for this purpose, some rude contrivances are raised over two or three of the principal springs, they have produced extraordinary cures in rheumatism, paralysis, liver complaints, enlargement of tho spleen, eruptions, pulmonary complaints, obstructions and chronic disorders of every kind. The Cincinnati Republican has been misinform - ed in several particulars concerning the recent . deaths in this place: The custard was not served to tho company at tho wedding, but sent to the houses of some of the guests next day. It was a day or two before any were attacked. The number was not more than twelve or fifteen, cf whom about eleven have died. There is great doubt whether any poison has. been employed: none has been detected with certainty, in the examinations which have taken place. The Faculty of Louisville have had a meeting on the subject, and are ubout equally divided in opinon whether poison was or wbb not used. LiOitisvUle Adv.t June 18. The South Carolina court of appeals has decided the test oath to be unconstitutional. This court consists of three Judges, Johnson, O'Neal and Harper. The two former concurred in tjio opinion, and the latter dissented.

GOLD CURRENCY. Extract from air. Ingham's report, Mav I, 1830: "If it be intended to render gold and silver EQU ALLY attainable in the United States, proper allowance being made for the influence tchich an increased demand must have on the price a ratio of 10 to 1 would, in all probability be necessary.' Such is the concurrent testimony of Mr. Ingham, when Secretary of tho Treasury, in favor of tho ratio of 1G to 1, It appears then, that all who have examined the question of the Gold Currency, concur in the opinion that a less ratio than 10 to 1, will not make gold as current, and as plenty as silver, although a less ratio may conform to tho abstract relative value of the two metals. To make ourselves more intelligible, we repeat the idea thus: the theoretical proportions between gold and silver is un

der 1G to 1; but tho practical proportion is that much, or more. Now, the People of the United States are a practical people; they are for doing business, and not for mystifying themselves with metaphysical subtleties. Tho People want a GOLD CURRENCY; and so strongly has that feeling broke out all over the country, that the Bank Senators who ridiculed a metallic currency three months ago, are now dead silent upon the subject. They ridicule it no longer, but they are as hostile to it as ever, and will defeat it by indirect means if they can. They prefer a silver currency, because silver is.most favorable to Bank circulation, and because the United States Bank can then get nearly all the domestic and foreign gold, to sell to Europe and the West Indies for a premium. Above all the nations in the world, the People of the United States, should be most anxious to establish a gold currency, and that for three great reasons; which are, first, that a gold currency alone can circumscribe, and hold in check, the issue of Bank paper; next, because wo have domesticgold mines, and can supply our own NATIONAL CURRENCY; and third, because from the extent of our country, and the travelling habits of the People, a gold currency is tho safest, and the best, which can be used for travelling expenses. The question now is between gold and paper. All who are for gold, should rato it above silver; tor all who are for paper will favor silver, and overrate it, and make it the preferred and predominant metal in circulation. As for those who wish to establish an absolute equilibrium between gold and silver, and whomistify themselves in a wilderness of decimal fractions to establish that equilibrium, it is all nonsense; for, in the first place, tho present equilibrium cannot be ascertained; and if it was, and was adjusted by law, it would be overthrown and deranged, by practice, and by commerce, in the course of one month. Let all, then, who prefer gold to paper, understand that it is absolutely necessary to make gold, not EQUAL, but SUPERIOR, to silver. It must bo the preferred metal ; and if it becomes the predominating metal, so much tho better. Less than 16 for 1, will not make gold the preferred metal, and will not bring it into general circulation. Here, then, will be the battle ground between the paper men and the hard money men, and every friend to gold should understand the point, and march up to it. Gold will certainly be raised at this session of Congress; but how much, is the question? The whole value of the alteration depends upon the quantum upon the amount of the rise ; for, unless it z raised dote silver, it will not answer, Globe. "Wild Sports of the West." A private letter lrorn a new settlement in the north-western section of Pennsylvania gives the following graphic and ra ther marvellous statement: "The pigeons have been more numerous than ever this year, lheir nests cover a territory ten miles in length by ono or two in breadth, and the roar of their camp could be heard like that of a wa A fV 1 1 A 1 1 1 f ,tIT II lunau ai me distance or a nan a mile. vvell,' say you, 'why did you not have a net and catch them ?'

Tiger-hunting must stand back, and bufialo-dri ving knock under to this. We have known ni geons caughtin the back-woods by a handful of dry corn placed under a slanting and tottering saptrough; and we believe they were never particularly modest about walking into box-traps and tho like, in seasons when they were plentiful and eatables scanty. But this matter of baiting them with bread in the pantry is an improvement on our experience. We give ituol! New-Yorker. France. The effects of the insurrection at Ly ons have been fell at a great distance in France. At Calais and Bologuo the not manufactories have suffered severely. The goods sent to Lyons have remained unsold, and tho bills drawn in consequence have not been accepted. The manufactures overwhelmed with goods, have ceased to employ their men, excepting only ono for each machine, as necessary for keeping it in order. Two grand camps are to be formed, one of S00,000 men, for manccuvering in the environs of Lyons, and the other for the same purpose, near Paris and St. Omer. An opinion has been for some days prevalent in Paris, that very serious differences had arisen between the great European Powers that the late treaty of France, England, Spain and Portugal, and the tone taken by Switzerland in reply to the representations of the Holly Alliance, had determined the Northern Sovereigns to hold out in return menaces and hostility, which neither France nor Enaland would be iound unprepared to resist. The j opinion of the best informed circles in Paris was. nevertheless, that war would actually take place. Nciv York, June M. Flour. There has been more inquiry for Western during the week than for some time previous, but prices remain without variation. The bulk of the purchases have been for the Eastern markets. A sale of Richmond City has been made, but the 1 ternis have not transpired. Several sales of BaltiT T 1 .1 more iioward-street have been made at $5 37 cash. Alexandria and Georgetown have both been sold at rather lower rates. The foreign exports has been very small. Grain. There have been no further sales of Western or Northern Wheat that we hear of. A small lot of Virginia has been received, but we believe is still unsold. Rye remains as last noticed. No change in the price of Oats. Corn has declin ed; sales of Southern at GO to 01 cts.; Northern Yellow at 63 to 64.; White remains firm at 67 cts Provisions. The Prices of Pork and Beef are without alteration, and few transactions worthy of note have taken place; the supply via the canal is less than heretofore, and it is believed that the majority of it is at market; If so, we may fairly calculato on an improvement in both articles. Lard remains without change in price; the quantity or stock on hand is not heavy. Sales of old Butter at 5 cents.

Colonel Crockett's Rife. Tho Philadelphia Commercial Intelligencer gives a most guty description of tho riflo about to bo prcseuted to the Honorable David Crockett by some young gentleman of Philadelphia. Wo have not exactly tho space at this moment to copy the description in detail, but the reader may rest assured that the rille is a most superb tool, and will, wo havo no doubt, do potent execution among the Tennessee vermin. On the guard, tho Intelligencer informs us, there is the counterfeit presentment of an aligator rampant, with his jaws distent and looking as fierce as ten furies. The "slight touch of an earthquake" the artist appears to have omitted, but near tho muzzle is a gilded arrow, with the Colonel's celebrated motto "Go ahead." A shot pouch, tomahawk and knife, all beautifully "got up," accompany the rille. But the Intelligencer is happiest in its closing description, which wo copy verbatim cs follows: "Last, not least, there is a canteen for "liquor" in the shape of a neat bound and gilded hook, entiteld "Spirit of tho Times, vol. 1." It will be a vadc mecum to the owner, and when ho is weary with tho hunt eo tho chaso, its contents will enliven his understanding and cheer his heart. Heaven only knows how many editions of its contents will bo called for." N. Y. Courier.

Congress continues to trillo nway its time on matters of littlo importance, to tho neglect of the real business of tho nation. Thus a question whether tho names of two of the voters in the con tested election between Moore and Letcher should be admitted ccst a discussion of two whole days. Tho law has been broken, tho dignity of tho nation has been insulted, and the authority of Congress sot at naught by a usurping Money Power, and yet there is not enough of patriotic and independent feeling in tho Houso of Representatives to take that subject up, and act with manly prompti tude upon it, in such a way as is demanded by the outraged moral sense of tho couutry. A. 1 . Lccnwg Post. Indian Atrnrit,,. Mr. Lucas. Clerk of tho Su-! perior Court, of Russell county, Alabama, was lately shot by an Indian and expired in about ten minutes. Mr. Lucas was setting in front of his , - own house, in Marion county, when tho deed was perpetrated. The Creek Chiefs have promised to give up the Murderer whenever ho can bo identifi ed. The Columbus Sentinel, which contains the particulars of the outrage, says that tho Creek In dians show strong symptoms of general hostility to tho whites. Melancholy Accident. During tho sevcro gale on Saturday 'J 1th May, as the Ferry boat was crossing the Seneca Lake, from the eastern to the western shore, having on board 0 individuals, four grown persons and two children, the boat was suddenly capsized. Two adults, &. the children wero at that time in the cabin, and by which melancholy catastrophe the children and a lady bjiho nameof Jerean were untortunately drowned. A young man in the cabin at the same time, was afterwards rescued in a state of insensibility. Tho accident happened between Bailytown and West Dresden, about a mile from tho western shoro. N. C, Star, French Lick Lands. We are informed by the Commissioners appointed by tho Legislature toefibct the sale of the French Lick Reserve, that the Appraisers have completed their duty of appraising the land, and that tho sale will be made as goon as practicable. "We are now assured that these lands will be disposed of, and that they will offer to our citizens new sources of speculation and improvement. It has been a cause of no littlo disadvantage to this county, that some disposition of this Reserve has not heretotore been made. It tho Legislature had authorized a rc-survey, and caused tho lines to bo renewed, wo are induced to believe that it would have been more conducive to the public interest, than the almost needless act of appraising. We invito tho att ention of tho enterprising to the sale of these lands as opening a prospect for extensive profit and speculation. Tho value of these lands, wo fear, is not properly appreciated. There are situated upon them several Salt Licks, and some Mineral Springs, which, with a littlo pujHng might become as celebrated as tho far famed Saratoga Springs, and no doubt possess not inferior medical properties. Why may not this be sol Tho place, the scenery and every thing is fitted for it; and all that is requisite, is, that the most valuable portions of it should got into the hands of those who havo wealth and enterprise enough to developo their hidden treasures among which we do not know that the precious metals havo a place (which, however, is not unlikely) but if they havo not, we are clear to aifirm that there is abundance of tho rale "grit" which has already been a source of no small profit to our industrious citizens, in tho manufactory of whetstones, grind-stones, &c. &c. Paoli, lad. Patriot. We understand that Mr. M'Lane has resigned his office of Secretary of State, the resignation to take etfect as soon during the present session of Congress as it may be convenient for tho President to appoint a successor. It is well understood that, in regard to some prominent measures which occupy much of the public attention, Mr. M'Lane has entertained different views from the President. But the President, who has through life exercised his own independence of judgment, is too generous, and too just, to give up one, esteemed by him as a friend, an honest patriot, and faithful public officer, fcr a mere difference of opinion; and as no action by the Department of State was requisite in carrying into effect the measures in question, ho saw no public necessity tor a separation. Between two men of elevated sentiments, there was nothing in such a state of things to interrupt tho harmony of either their oilieialor private relations, and their mutual confidence and esteem have therefore continued unimpaired. We know that the President has yielded to Mr. M'Lanc'a wish to retire from his administration with regret, and that he has freely expressed, not only his high sense of .Mr. M'Lanc's patriotism, talents, and eminent services, but his sincere friendship a sentiment which is ful Jy reciprocated by Mr. M'Lane.

Outrage on the hnerinnt Pfag. The Tlditor of tho Mobile Commercial Negater, has received a letter from Capt. .McKcige, late of tho brij; Industry, of that port, dated, "Tobusco Prison, Jcrci ID, l&i-l," detailing tho particulars of nu outrage upon himself and vessel. On arriving at tho mouth of Tobasco river, on the 6th of February, ho was boarded by tho Custom Houso olliccr, and sealed, hiuhal, with cloven seals. Ho then proceeded to Tubasco, where he arrived on 'Jrth Feb. The othcer there, on finding tho fore-scuttlo had not boon healed, accused the Captain of bribing tho olliccr at tho mouth of tho river not to seal him, in order that ho might smuggle. On tho loth of March, atler certain preliminary proceedings, the Captain wus thrown into prison, where ho sutfered every thing but death, until the jrth of March, when ho was discharged upon the condition of hid forfeiting to tho Commandant, tho sum often doubloons!. Fpou the day of th Captain's release, his crew wero taken from his vessel, and made to tight iu an action that took place between the Government troops and the Commandant's. Tho Cantain on the Jfth. was again nrrotod

by tho commandant, because his sailorsvantcd their wages, and was only set ut liberty by promising to pay them as soon us ho received funds from his consignee. Capt. McKeige was otic-rod Ida vessel if he would pay fifty ounces of gold. The Collector had granted lier a license, but she was detained by the Commandant, who has a thousand Indians to hack him. Since the seizure of tho Industry, they haw seized tho Pelicano, IMward, and Amethyst, all of which are detained, till tho Captains pay a few ounces of gold. The American Consul' endeavors to obtain justice by applying to the oiV.oer.s of tho government wero fruitless in consequence of tho excesses being committed by a party opposed to tho government.
