n the tjih April" the -question whlhcr ere would be war or peace, would be poitively decided: i Notwithstanding the numerous statements of an opposite tendency, it now appears that the differences between the Forte nd Russia have not been adjusted. The jjegociations with the court ot Seheran are ,tated to have been broken oil', and Schah ad set out in persoii with large army to miter Asiatic Tin key. The army comma njed by the eldest son of Prince Ali, Who .lied fast year, it is added, had cbmtiienced oitilUieswith tiie Pacha of Bagdad. Much obscurity however, exists as to the actual Jtatc of matters between the two powers. 4 A P.u is paper, the Courier Francais, of the 2-ilii April, gives the following sketch of u now plan for the partition of Turkey. jTh following were yesterday circulated on Alie Exchange. It was said that a Courier lym London had brought the news ol in allitiicc concluded between England, Jlu' and Austria, the principal parties, pi uia accedes to it. The three contracting Powers divide amongst themselves the the provinces of European Turkey, with the txceptson of a Greek state, which w ill be placed under the protection of the three a-

buve named powers. England will have llutrato, Prevesa, and several ports in the Archipelago; Austiia, Bosnia, and some o ttur districts; and Russia, Moldavia and TV.illachia. Constantinople will be the seat

ol ihe new Greek Government. It is not

Uaid what part France will take. M ELAVIL I The accounts from Ireland are stated to be of a mixed complexion, lawless outrage on the decline: but in some of the southwestern counties it has been succeeded bv the I extremes of wretchedness and famine. Last V?4r9 potatoe crop failed. Numbers ofun- ( fortunate peasants had abondoned, in dispair, their miserable habitations, and taken : to beg for the support of their starving children. Soma individuals in the county of : Clare had perished of absolute want; and . hut only was present food unattainable, but H t're ground woikof future destruction was laid in the utter scarcity of seed for the ft ipproaching season- In the House of v Commons, it was distinctly stated by Mr. ; Grant, the late Secretary of Ireland, that j !it:es9 in the most frightful form, had aj- ' ready made its appearance in the southern t, eounties, and symptoms of famine had alrea-

ges, an individual other than int. self, to

an as uovernor ol the state. During the time 1 have discharrrd the duties re

quired of the Executive t,f Indiana, it has

been my anxiou wish to promote t)Mt

liarinony ot h elms, vvhich is s essential to public and priv.itt: ha)in.t.ss; arHj u the exercise of my uffirinl dufiiM, to dr. .serve the confidence of the people of the state by a conscientious discharge of the important trust, which must shortly be roinmitted to a successor of your own selection. . In the official situation Which I am shortly to leate; it became my duty to enter upon a scene before Untried in Indiana. The constitution of the state, had necessarily to he brought into ope ration tinder the conflicting influence of the various opinions which always attend every inpoi fant cl.an-o in the form of any povrrnment. Under such circumstances I must have erred. It must be admitted that all men whatever may be the progress of experience, are subject in common , to errors of the judgement.

But Whatever may have been the errors on my part, I feel a consc ions pride

that I hive never erred in the exercise of a public trust, in any manner which has rrsultrd to my private advantage. In the exen isc of a public trust, I have always made my personal interest yield to the paramount consideration of the public welfare, and in soliciting the suf frages of the people, I seek that only to which other citizens of the eUte arc eligible. I have been, a candidate for some time past, to represent the second Congressional District in the eighteenth Congress. If elected my services as such will not be required at the city of Washington until December 18C3 nearly eighteen months hence. In consequence of which, and the expectation that Gen. Hendricks would create a vacancy in the next winter's session of the 17th Congress, and in as much as the state can have but one representative until after the expiration of the next Session of Congress; I have been frequently solxiteri, from different parts of the state, to consent to serve, if elected, ts fill the vacancy, Mtikh 3cp.

fiend ricks has lately created y rcti, -My leplifv have been in substance u.c was as willing to represent the people of the state, dUring the vacancy of riextltvinter, as ther might bVto elect tne, but that it was mote immediately my wish, to rcpreseiit the District in which 1 reside; if congenial with the interest and wishes of a majority of its citrrens. Having sometime since, made such declarations when enquired of, it is not for me to contradict them, especially as there exists no incompatibility, nor any other ohjeefion to the course, either legal or constitution.il, except that preference which every elector has an undeniable right to exercise between candidates for the same oflke. Vhen solicited on the subject of the vacancy of next winter, for me to have said that I was unwilling to 6erve if. the people were, disposed to elect.me, would have been uhcandid,and for me to have refused would have oeeu ungrateful on my part and qualified to disappoint many of my friends. My object in this address is to prevent my views (from being mis-reps csented, as well as to prevent any deception from being practised upon those who have not made the subiect of the approaching election an object olVnquiry, in relation to the circumstance of the election taking place for the eighteenth Congress on the same day with the election (or the vacancy of next winter in the seventeenth Congress. To prevent aiiy confusion growing out of the circumstance of both elections taking place on the first Monday of August next, it will only, be necessary for a voter, to give in a ticket for that person whom he may wish as his representative next winter To represent the state in the vacancy of the I7ik Congress," and another ticket for the person whom

he may wish to represent him winter after next To represent ihc district in the l3i:A Congress," If elected, fellow citizens, I have only to assure you that I shall discharge my duty with fidelity and as much to your advantage as my abilities will enable me.
