The Americans in China ha»« requested Commodore Perry to ifciion tk ship »t Canton or Whsmpoa. The Mississippi i3 «t present there, the Suaqueharu at Macay and the Saratoga at Shanghae^* -"fl

The following inieieating tooount* if the {movement* of the hipMiiiion I* from the 'North China Mail of Aug. MU—

The squadron, consisting if the steam frigates Susquehannah, and Mississippi, 'aad the sloops of war Plymouth *nd Saratoga sailed from the harbor of Na a kiang, in Xoo Cboo,on the 3d of July. Qi the morn, "ing of the 8th they made Cspe Idru, near the southern entrance (he bajof Jeddo, and, sailing directly up the bay anchored in the afternoon off* the town of (ftga, more than a mile beyond the former aneorage of the Morrison and Columbus. The appearance of the steamers—the first cvdtteeo in

Japanese waters—with ihe other in Jtow, moving with alt sails furled, at|«4

A few boats nevettlieleits, lingeied around the iSusquehannah but the sight of some warlike preparations satisfied them that Commodore Perry was in earnest, mid they quickly retired. During the slay of the squadron in the bay. it was never afterwards viaited by any boat#, excep! those contain ing the officials, through whom the negotia tions were carried on.

During the three days which el'»pod, bofore the answer arrived ihe Mississippi made atrip ofabtJut ten miles further up ihe buy finding everywhere deep sounding*. Beyond the promontory of Ursgn point •which no foreign vessel had paused before «he discovered a large and beautiful bight which was perfectly landlocked, and offered the most secure and commodious anchorage. She was followed at a distance by a numbfcf of government boais but none of them attempted to interfere with her. or with the cutters of the different vessels, which were sounding in advance of her. The preatnot ol the squadron appeared to cau*e no interruption to the inland commerce, for the bay was at ail times studded with Urge junks, and hundreds ol smatl Qraft, passing up and down.

On Tuesday the 12th, an answer arriv •d from Jeddo, stating thai the limperor had appointed an officer of the highest rank to proeeed to Ursga and receive the lotter of the President of the United States} and satisfactory proofs having been given to Commodore Perry, that this appointment came directly from the imperial govern-. m«nt, It was* arranged that the interview should take place, o» the morning of th«j 14lh. We understand that the Comm« dore was first informed on his arrival, thatj Negassaki was the proper point from which to negotiate with ihe Japanae government but he replied that a requa*t to proceed thither would be an insult to his govern nifnt, •The Japanea* aeUoied the small IOWO Gort-hama, about three mile* south of Uraga for the interview. Oo the morning of th 14th the Susquehanna and the Mississippi took a position off the town, and lay with th#lt bioadaidea to the shore. The Gov eroor and Deputy Governor of Ursga, with the commandant of the military forces came oft* to aocompany the Commodore to the landing piaoe. Three house* had been erected by the Japanese, one of which had been prepared for the interview, while the other two had been erected apparently lor the accomodation of the princes, who had come from Jeddo to receive the letter. Thr officers and men detailed to accompany

Commodore Perry, amounted to about foor hundred, while the force of the Japanne was variously estimated at Irom five to seven thousand. Their foremost files extended ground tht bead of the bight for the dh tiance of nearly a mile, and with their oum ber oftcartw peoona and banner* of vartons .devtoee, preMOted novel and beautiful show.

The Governor and Deputy Governor of Crags, with the Interpreters and attendants after the interview were treated to a 'trip in the Susquehanna, where they witnessed for the first time the performance of a steam engine. After leaving them at Uraga, squadron stood across the bay toward tbe eastern shore, and tt#en proceeded to tbe -«int reached by the Mississippi, about ten mile* above Uraga. On the following day.

Perry, in the Mississippi,

went about ten miles beyond this, making a total of twenty miie| Jbeyond the previous limits of exploration.'" From the deck of the frigate, a crowd of shipping was seen seven or eight miles to the northward: and (torn the number of junks continually going and coming it was evident that this was the anchorage in front of the capital The officers of the Susquehannah, and Mississippi speak with admiration of the beauty of the shores, and the rich cultivation which they everywhere witnessed!*

The natives with whom rhev came^frTcontact, were friendly in their demeanor, and the Governor of Ursga is spoken of as a model of refinement and good hr*«din»

The day before the departure tbe squadron, the Governor went on board the Susquehannah, taking with him, a number of presents consisting of articles of lacker ed ware, and other Japanese manufactures A suitable collection of presents was pre pared in return: and in spite of his declar ation that it was contrary to the Japansee law he was obliged tosccept them, in order to prevent the rejection of his own.

AH2XRBW JACKSON. It ii rain to deny to Jaeboa a title to greatneM. He achieved great things, anc •o" a sucoeesioo of aptenoid triumphs, an equalled in the hi«tory of any man, save ooe, of bit generation. He achieved them, not by the force of accident—but because of the power within him. It is idle to dh CUM the ability or the merits of a man, who, in different, and these the highest departments of human enterprise, succeeds, not in ooe department, or as to one measure, but in all departments and in all things, throughout a long su occasion of years and of struggles, agatnitt tbe greatest and most various opposition. Such successes do not come by chanoe. But if we will not take thia genera] conclusion, let us look to particulars. What did he accomplish? He raised himself, in a profeseioo the least suited to bis genius, of ail others, at a time of life when men ol real merit am only preparing themselves for local distinction, to the office of Attorney General and of Judge, and when the scene changed from peace to war, he rose at once to the p«at of Geoeral, and, in a few months, won the most brilliant successes and the brightest laurels of the war, and placed himself side by side with the great captains of the world. He took his seat in the Senate of the United Stales be was soon the strongest candidate before the people for President, bearing the palm from the veteran politicians and established statesmen of the country. Defeated in the house by politicians, he turned defeat into victory, and established upon it a sure and lasting ascendancy. He was lifted by the strongest tide of personal popularity to tbe first office of his country, and held power against an opposition more powerful than ever before assailed an administration. But he did much more than this he impressed his name and character upon the country more deeply than any man, the father of his country only excepted, ever did before or after him. He gave a fresh and awakening influence lo the popular mind—taught more effectively lhan Jefferson, Ihe masses their power threw off the influence of old politicians, and started the government on ward in a new and more impulsive career He opened a new era io American politics with new measures, new ideas, and new politicians. He founded a party more per feet in its organization, more lasting in its duration lhan any before established—giv ing its own line of statesmen and its own course of' policy to the country a party from which was to rise a stronger influence upon thSgporld and the indefinite increase of the weelih, territory and population of Ihe republic. He consolidated the strength and energies of the government made it formidable, feared and respected by foreign powers insomuch that he addressed ihe read of tbe secoud power of Europe with the imperious tone of a rich creditor pursu ing a biking bankrupt, and forced him to a settlement of a claim upon ar. open threat of chastisement. lie found a confederacy —and ieft an empire. He altered the monetary system of the government—struck down the bank of the United States-raised up and sustained the State Banks, and finally blew them up as so many torpedoes: and, for a lime, nearly abolished ihe whole credit system of a great trading people. He struck down the doctrines of State Rights, in their sanctions and substance, and in their strongholds, and with them, the flower of the disciples of that school to whom he had owed his elevation, in great part and established national dootrines ana ideas which placed the government on the basis vainly before contended for by Washington and Marshall. He subdued the Senate. He placed his rejected minister at ita head it rebuked his course. He made it draw black lines around its records and he raised up another, if not two, presidents to rule after he had withdrawn from office and continued after his retirement, and to tbe close of his life, the ruling spirit of his own party. I his he did without the aid of the politicians: —he needed no conduit between himself and (be people. He operated directly upon me public mind indeed, the most popular of his followers held his popuUritv pn the tenure of bis will and as a reflection of bis chiefs desertion of him and hia cause was popular ostracism. If be were powerful enough to raise up whom he chose—he was powerful enough to pat down whom he chose. His name and his influence wen as pervasive as ihe atmosphere it fixed ihe selection and promotion of the cabinet minister, even of the President-—and also that of tbe lowest official of an obscure municipality.

Mr. Calhoun waa sitting open the comfortable perch of tbe Vice Presidency, think* ing no harm, evidently quite content with the prospect before him. Tt was seemingly a good time for him.

TERRE-FELAT/TE, INDIANA, FRIIALF, &~OVEM££R 11, 1853.

I the political charnet house below! Where were now tbe legions of friends with whom bis slightest utterance was the definition of a proverb—"the condensed wisdom of nauonf"

He eeeatod tbeaa at break of day. Bat wbea DM MI aet, wbera were tbeyl Who offended Jackson was doomed Like mighty Nirarod, be threw hia lariat from tbe Capitol, and throttled and broke down to death or submission tbe most powerful senators even at the remotest corner of tbe republic. Talent and genius, and learning, end eloquence, and atatesman •hip cordoned themselves around him in strenuous warfare but bis single arm, like Mural's on tbe Mount of Tranafiguration, roiled back tbe brilliant charge and left him still unhurt—not a feather of bis plume awry—in possession of the heights of power

And. finally, according to Thomas Marshall, when he was about quiting tbe world he turned Presbyterian and trampled Satan under foot, the last, and, perhaps, the great est of his victories!

It msy well be doubted whether the rec ords of ancient or of modern times transmit or exhibit to us a name more distinguished for sublime and unfaltering courage than that of Andrew Jackson. He never seemed to rise to, but ever to stand level with, its loftiest exigencies. There was nothing in the shape of danger or responsi bility which bo feared to brave—not to meet merely, but to go in quest of—not to endure, but to defy and to master. He was chary of his fame he loved applause but when did he pause in the execution of a purpose io count its cost to his reputation, or when did he ever falter when the chivalry and the flower of his early and better supporters deserted his banner by battalions? If anything can appal the politician's heart or stay his hand, civil war may do it. But in jthe case of South Carolina, he contemplated that result, and prepared for it with the coolness and determination of a common place business matter. He stood forth a peculiar and original man in the great attribute of conceiving and executing purposes and plans, from the very contemplation of whioh common-place politicians shrink in dismay.

Yet one thing this great man lacked. He lacked the crowning virtue of magnanimity. Generosity towards a personal or political enemy, and charily for opposing opinion, were not numbered among the virtues in his calender. We are pained lobe forced by truth to say it but the hero's character of such robust and stalwart proportions, and vital with such massive and masculine strength, was* incomplete. Like some Gothic lower dimly seln by star-light, it leaves ihe impression of power akin to the lerrsffic and sublime but wants the mild and softening light of this absent grace to make it lovely to the contemplation, and dear to the heart. iKi- »1 A un*
