THE WESTERN SUN. Vinccnncs, November 30, 1816. The mail due last week, arrived on Sunday last. this week A we are again without a mail. We learn from Corydon, that William II. Lilly, has been elected Auditor, and Thomas C. Lane, Treasurer, of the state of Indiana. Extract of a letter from a gentlemen in the city of Washington, to his friend in this place, dated, Nov. 7, 1816. Here there is little known of what is doing, and of course little said respecting foreign affairs ; the chastisement which England has inflicted on Algiers all benevolent & good nien must rejoice at, and it adds no little to our reputation that tee set the example. Mr. Pinckney appears tt5 be exciting considerable notice by his demands at Naples, for spoliations committed on our commerce during the destructive reign of Murat, but they are just, and however it may effect certain potentates in Europe, must eventually be complied with. Respecting our local affairs, the presidential election appears to command the most attention that Monroe should have been brought out by a caucus is one of his greatest crimes, and it is a crime in the opinion of all pure V and disinterested republicans. 4 .Xhe examples before him form a precedent, but it is a dangerous Vme it jeopardises the fundamental principles our government, and must hereafter be dispensed with. Your mr. Jennings, however, attended that assemblage in caucus, and I have since learned with surprise he has been elected your first governor, which is completely inverting the divine law of rewards and punishments but though I thought I knew mr. Jennings, yet you are the best judges of what relates only to yourselves, and I if will hope you have done for the best. I have not yet learned with certainty who is your first represent ative, nor have I heard who amongst you contemplate to come forward as senators you must inform me. What has become of judges Tavlor Parke ? Those men have a standing here, thi tf have information, and most

unquestionably could render you .more essential service than men

who may be inferior in knowledge, and strangers not only to those with whom they have to act, but to their new and peculiar duties. Judge Taylor I had the honor to be personally acquainted with, he is a man of just political views, and very considerable influence. If he has any ambition to be distinguished by y our preference, in the capacity of representative, I am conscious in whatever situation he is incapable of being actuated by any sin-did motive, and can. with more ceruinty than any man whom I know, advance the welfare and prosperity of your new state." Emigration to the IVcst. At

no period since the first settle ment of the Western country has the tide of population set stronger this way than at the present But a few years more and the pivot on which the union will balance, will be the Allegheny mountains, or west of them. Already has the centre of the system receded from the Atlantic coast, where it was once supposed to be unalterably fixed, and will ere long assume a position where, heretofore has been denominated the extremity of the union. The hardy enterprise that is daily penetrating the deepest recesses of the wilds of the Missouri the Arkansas the Illinois the Fox river, and the advancement of military posts by our government on the waters of our North Western lakes, will open the way for the torrent of eastern population which rolls to tne west, bringing with it all the requisites for reducing a luxuriant and fertile wilderness into cultivated plains, despensing contentment and wealth to individuals, and weight and power to the government. Only a few days since a party of about thirty hardy, enterprising men, from New England left this place, equiped, each with a rifle and two traps, on an expedition to the upper parts of the Missouri, where they expect to continue about three years for the purpose of hunting and trapping. Before this period expires the the banks of the Missouri will exhibit extensive settlements even now the settlement at Boon's lick, upwards of 500 miles up this river, is said to be increasing with an unusual rapidity. Almost daily, boats are arriving at, and passing this place with families ; and at Zanesville in this state, not long since, 50 family wagons crossed the ford of the river in one day, besides those which crossed on the bridges, of which there are two. From the Aurora. Duanc's Reasons for opposing Caucus nomi tuition. 1. The caucus is k a pre established body,"' which the convention of 1787 wished to guard against, by the provisions in the constitution. 2. The caucus is exclusively composed of members of congress, whom the convention prohibited bv the constitution from being electors. 3. The nomination of the caucus is made in one place, which the convention wished to guard against and that place is in the very midst of government influence, and of foreign ministers. 1. The nomination of the caucus has invariably prevailed, and therefore amounts to an actual election. h. The electors in the several states do not deliberate, scruti nize. or vote independently as the convention and the constitution contemplated they merely register the decision of the caucus of members of ctngi'ess. 0. The decision in caucus has been made invariably bv a majority of the whole number of members of congress, without debate, without deliberation, without responsibility, and simply by secret silent voting. 7. The Caucasus have held pri

vate correspondence with the candidates to be nominated. And hence, fellow citizens, it clearly appears. 1. That the constitution is op enly violated by the members of congress. 2. That the right of the people to elect their chief magistrate is taken from them. 3. That this outrage is committed at the seat of government, with the connivance of the persons nominated, 4. That the election of electors is as ridiculous a ceremony as the voting of a Polish diet, under Russian bayonets. 5. That the only excuse for such outrages upon the rights of the people are expediency and precedent, which have, in other states, been the pretext for every species of private wrong or public iniquity. PARIS, September 13. Captain Brisbane, flag captain of lord Exmouth, passed through this city three days since. We learn that the admiral's vessel was the first which entered the port of Algiers, and anchored under the batteries, thus exposed even to all the musketry of the Algerines. She lost 180 men this loss is more considerable than that of any vessel in the battle of Trafalgar. His lordship was Wounded in the cheek, and received a severe contusion in one of his legs. Admiral Milne was wounded, and the captain of the Superb received a very severe wound. The Dey went from battery to battery in a small boat during the battle. At Marseilles they have a report that the Dey has since disappeared, and expect that the British will have difficulties in getting the slaves out of the hands of the people.

don for them, on condition of transporting them out of the state has shipped them all ofTfor NewOrleans, or as some say for the Red river, in the Louisiana territory, where report says, Mr. S. is about forming a settlement. It is also added, that mr. S. has been offered 3000 dollars for his speculation ! Al. Gaz.

Public credit A strtking contrast at this moment exists between the finances of the United States and those of G. Britain. It will be seen, that on the first January, 1817, there will probably be a surplus in the treasury of the U. States of about nine millions of dollars, Lord Cochrane, at a late meeting in London for the relief of the poor, stated that there would be a deficiency in the revenue of Great Britain for the current year, 11573,000 pounds ! No wonder the English fund-holdera are anxious to sell out, and to vest their capital in American stock t which we find by a letter from England is the fact. Host. Pat.

Constantinople, July 2.5, On the 1 6th the marquis de la Reviere, ambassador of Louis 1 8th, had his public audience of the Sublime Sultan. The ceremonies consumed the time of 12 fatiguing hours. The presents made, consisted of rich diamonds chandeliers, cloths superbly embroidered, and numerous samples of French manufactures. The Sultan expressed his satiefaction on the re-establishment of the Bourbons, and the renewal of the long existing amity between France and the Ottoman Porte. On the 22d inst. the minister from the Dey of Algiers was received by the grand Vizier, when the presents from the Dey were exhibited for public inspection. They consisted of a number of Moorish slaves of both sexes ; three Arabian horses richly caparisoned ; pistols mounted with gold and coral ; a solitaire and snuff box richly set with diamonds, eight Lions, four Tigers, six Ostriches, &c. &c. and a great number of the richest carpets of of all colours. The Austrian slaves which have been set at liberty by the Dey, were delivered over to the Austrian ambassador. A nerv speculation. Mr. Philip Spencer, of Poughkeepsie, ha
