I Sir: In future the following regulation in regard to the payment of pensions should ! be regularly adhered to, viz: I No payment will in future be made to any pensioner either in person or by attorney who has not applied for his pension for or;e year or more, without the production of evidence of his identity. The proof i will consist of the certificate of a magistrate in the county, in which the pensioner resides, setting forth, either that he knows ; the applicant to be the identical pensioner named in the original pension certificate (which be must exhibit to the Magistrate) or that it has been satisfactorily proved before him, that he is such pensioner. The signature of the Magistrate should be certified under ten by the Clerk of the Court

" Legitimacy " in its purity. The Lisbon Gazette of Mav 31, contains letters from

Ithe Spanish and Austrian ambassadors, the charge d'a flairs of Denmark and Russia, i and from the pope's nuncio, to the secretary of foreign affairs, acknowledging the rejeeiptof a circular from him, communicating the thanks of the king of Portugal for j the conduct of the diplomatic corps during i the commotions of the 30th April. The ; Russian charge d'affairs says, that "the diplomatic corps only performed their duty j in endeavoring to preserve the sacred rights of the throne rights emanating only from tro , cannot be ziolated without drawing upon

tnost who attack them, the resentment and

vengeance of all the sovereigns of europe." I Orllow long is it that" man will be insulted by suchlike cant as this and fel- ! low-worms, that die and rot as asses and

monkeys do, assume a divine principle of

t superiority over persons as properly and perfectly created cs they themselvesjire?--

,Indeed, most people are better made than

j kings, princes and hereditary priests for i they appear- to be the work of " nature's

or madmen, and possessed of less mind than the humblest of those subjected to

QtF:nix. On the 9th ult. at Quebec, the city was visited by a thunder cloud, from which an unusual quantity of the electrie fluid was discharged (at two flashes only) upon the inhabitants. The principal streams fell on barracks, which were covered with sheet iron, but without a conductor! In one wing cndgn John D. Cogan was killed, and in another, two soldiers and a little boy. The mate of a vessel also was reported killed, and many persons were prostrated by the shocks. The deceased were all interred together, with military honors.

Some Editors are endeavoring, if possi

ble, to eflVct the election of J. Q. Adams, by the cry, Federalist. This has been the uniform radical watchword of the Wash-

ington City caucus gentry, to whom such , Editors bear a strong affinity, though they ; are vociferous for Clay. A similar ground i is taken m a long communication in the ' Tt rre Haute Register, which we would judge to be from the pen of a candidate for ! Elector for Clay, who swears that CrawI ford will be elected by a majority of six votes on the first ballot by the electoral college, and who will vote for Crawford, if ; Clay is out of the question. It is too late for the people of Indiana to be gulled by ;mere names; they have too high an opinj ion of the long and faithful services of Mr. Adams under all tho Presidents of the U. j States, to be alarmed at the electioneering epithet. Federalist. Monroe has been call-

I ed Federalist, so have been Jackson, Clay,

Crawford, and many others have been denominated Federalist in their turn, to answer party purposes. Such flimsy expedient only goes to show that the vote of Indiana is going for John Q. Adams; for it is not worth while to disguise the truth, that, at present, John Q. Adams is frst with the people, and Andrew Jackson second, and Clay the hindmost of the three. Such is our opinion, and such we think, will be the result. Corydon Gazette.
