There never was, perhaps, an j election contest, w hich picseiited so degra ding a picture of human nature, as the one now carrying on here. Mr. Moore ; has represented Coventry for a great numj her of vears. During this time he has al- ! wavs voted as they wished him, and even

now, as a body, they have no charge to bring against him. The Cobbetites, indeed, charge him with treating Cobbet as they now arc treating Moore. 'If we riot, throw paving stones, and pull the clothes off your friends' hacks," say they, "vou should recollect, IVlcr, that it was you who taught us those games. Your friends served us so when Cobbett was here."

wtiicu cover mau hundreds of our brave

companion, reposing amid thousands of our fallen . nemies. Wc blame no one. Every Greek has done his duty and vre saw from the summit of our ramparts the

unavailing efforts of our fleet to come to

our relief. But the God of the Christians decided otherwise. A prey, during three days, to the torment of a calamity the most terrible to famine we took the resolution to abandon the town rather than to fall into the hands of our enemies. Our wives prayed to accompany us: alas! how could we refuse to these dear halves of ourselves the hope of safety! We granted their demand. The last defence of the place was confided to the generous patriotism of the aged and wounded, who had not sufficient strength to accompany us in the sortie. On the 22d, at 3 o'clock at night, we opened the gates of the sacred city. Contrary to our hopes and expectations, we found the barbarians ready to leceive us. Our surprise was extreme; and we are ignorant to this moment of the manner in which the enemy could have been informed of our project. But this we can assure you, that not one of the brave and devoted garrison sullied his glory by treason. Many died like heroes the rest still breathe; but they breathe only for vengeance. The appearance of the barbarians did not

throw us off our guard and their bayonets

proved powerless against our swords. Their columns, regularly formed, were pierced after a horrible carnage, and wc gained the mountain?. The greater num

ber of our wives and children fell in this

struggle: but the barbarians gained noth

ing but their dead bodies, for not a Greek

wa taken alive. Arrived among the neighboring moun

! tains, we took several hours of repose, and

I then directed our steps, at the break of

day, towards Salona, where wc arrived at

the end of four days, in number 1,800.

Manv others of our brothers were saved

and dispersed among the mountains, and made ha-ts to join us. Governors of Greece! you to whom the nation confides the noble task of directing her destiny, lose not your courage! If you confide in us, we are proud that we still live to avenge the violated graves of the immortal Marcos, and that English chief, who consecrated to us his song, his love, and his life. The memory o Missolonghi is ever with us! the blood which runs in our cins is still the same! Children of Greece and of misfortune, we arc still the same men who defended our liberties and

! your rights on the rugged hills of Souli.

and on the tottering walls ol Missolonghi! We wait your orders, and we are ready to execute them at the pi ice of the last drop of our blood.

Washington, August 7. -On Thursday and Friday evenings, Mr. Reynolds delivered two lectures, designed to show that the interests of science and our national honor, loudly call upon us to

send out an expedition for the purpose of

exploring the unknown seas wnicn wasn the southern pole. On the first evening a respectable audience attended, arpng whom were many ladies; but, on the following evening, the large room in which the lecture was delivered, exhibited a complete overflow. The impression made by the lecturer was evidently most favorable: he was listened to with profound attention throughout, and greeted, at the close, with three rounds of applause. Without giving any opinion as to the theory of Captain Sy mines, whether it may hereafter turn out to be the dream of visionary enthusiasm, or the calculation of profound

philosophy, there can be no hesitation of

opinion as to the propriety oi scientific research. Our received system involves many, perhaps, pardoxes, certainly a variety of phenomena which it is difficult to reconcile to the principles laid down by

astronomers: were it merely for the purpose of disentangling these appearances from the difficulties which surround them, a voyage of exploration, properly conducted, must be productive of advantage. There is an obligation upon us, if we value our national fame, to contribute our share of mind towards those researches in the ultimate advantages of which we shall enjoy our portion. In this case, Mr. Key .mid informs us that public opinion has

warmly seconded a plan, which appears

to us to have been judiciously matured) and reduced to a perfect practicability; and his visit to our city is with a view to commence the preparations for his outfit at the seat of government, in order that a national character may be imparted to the expedition. We believe, from every indication, that there is a strong disposition among our citizens to contribute to this object; and we have every assurance that such a disposition will be sustained by the intelligence and public spirit of the country. That there are immense regions undiscovered within the Antarctic circle, there are few who arc not disposed to be

lieve: there is not an individual American, we trust, who would not desire the glory of the first discovery in those regions should belong to our country. The plan of an expedition for scter.!' research is now submitted to us. Li a iy of trro, we understand, it will bs vd be fere the public in a form perfectl enable. Men of science, and des it- four confidence, both for their maturity in knowledge and judgement, are ready to peril life and fame to carry the banner of their country to latitudes where the silken emblem of power has never yet waved, and perhaps, to plant it on some yet undiscovered shore. That the expedition will be sustained by the countiy, we have no doubt, from the assurances we have seen: it is to be hoped, for the honor of our city and nation, that the first impulse will be given to it here. Notional Journal. North-west coast. Nt xt to the deportation of the Africans, by far the most important political question to the United States is the effectual settlement of the North west Coast. The part in dispute lies between the 42d and 51st degrees of

north latitude, and extending eastward to the Rocky Mountains. We say Hu dispute;" we ought rather to say. it is that part of our territory to which the British (Tnvprnmcnf hnvr vtfr.ded the. most ore-

posterous and chimerical claim. It was virtually yielded to us. The title wns fully and expressly given by the treaty of 1819. The Spanish claim of discovery commenced from 1537, long before any English voyagers touched on that coast. The Spanish title was recognised by the British government in the convention of 1790. Capt. Gray, in the sloop Washington, was the first navigator who ascended the Columbia river. Lewis and Clark, sent out by our government, surveyed that river from its source to its mouth. The British plenepotentiaries deny our title upon grounds which we conceive completely untenable. We consider their arguments to be a string of quibbles, and, indeed, very like their claims to impress our seamen. The territory of the North-west Coast is immensely subservient to the protection of our commerce and shipping in the Pacific ocean. It deeply affects our relations with other powers. The fisheries are a clear gain without any drawback. The fur trade is worth two millions per annum. No nation on earth should be permitted to interfere with the vast tribes of Indians in our territory. Our settlements are every day progressing westward. It would be perfect folly in our government to recognize any part of their claim. It is a question that deeply affects our revenue, and still more our national dignity. No European power should be permitted to colonize any part of tho American continent. The American government should, forthwith, fit out a squadron of transports under a strong convoy, and settle that coast, and fortify the most accessible points, which would have the best tendency to confirm our ':le, and protect our citizens from the I. "e attempt of any foreign power. Livings! m Register. The port of New-York paid last year

! nearly one-third of the revenue, viz. above fifteen millions of dollars. The average 1 number of arrivals from foreign places, for

the last three y ears, was 1,340 vessels a year. And the arrivals of coasters, some of which are 300 tons burthen, is still greater. List year there were 423 vessels quarantined, and about two hundred of them discharged at Brooklyn. The navigation of this port appears to increase in the ratio of twelve per cent, but must augment in proportion to the extension of internal commerce. JSVes.
