Presidential Nomination At a meeting of the citizens of Westmoreland county, held at the court house in the borough of Greensburgh, on the 28th ult. the following among a number of resolutions, was unaminously adopted : Resolved, that among the many distinguished citizens who are candidates for the presidency, General Andrew Jackson presents the strongest claims to our confidence, whether regarded as the soldier of the revolution, the hero of the late war, a tried public servant, or an incorrupt republican ; and that national gratitude, as well as the public interest, demand for him the suffrages of a commuinity of freemen : And we. as citizens of the United States, pledge ourselves to use every honorable exertion to promote his election. In a case lately tried in Boston, for a libel, the judge decided in the opening of the cause, that under our constitution, the defendant has a right in all cases of libel, without the consent of the prosecutor, to prove, in justification of the publication, the truth of the allegations." This is a decision of great importance to the real, and not the nominal freedom of the Press, and we do not see how, under our government, the law could ever have been differentlv construed.

of Bertrand de Lis, delivered in the Spanish cortes. It accuses the French government of having favored the factious on all occasions of having furnished them with clothes and warelike materials he declares, that if they continue to excite fresh uneasiness, the moment will arrive in which they shall repent it The Marquis de Lascoure, senior of the French generals - died at Paris on the 12th, in 75th year of his age. Letters from Madrid mentioned that the Lieut. General the Prince of Santo Mauro had been put into prison. The Marquis de Casa Sarris had fled to Gibbralter, and the Duke de L'Infantado had escaped from Corunna and embarked for England. The cortes have granted the sums which government require for the augmentation of the army. Couriers were despatched to hasten the preparations, and it was expected that in a few weeks they would be able to place on foot an army of 60, 000 men. Hamburgh papers of the 10th of Novmention that the report of the intention of the King of Naples to lay down his crown, was confirmed. [Further particulars in our next]

Charge d'Affairs at this court has received orders from his government to communicate to our ministry that France entertains no idea of invading Spain and much less Portugal, that our suspicions on this subject are destitute of foundation ; and that the army of the Pyrannees is merely an army of observation, for the sole purpose of guarding France against being disturbed by Spain, in consequence of the state of effervescence which prevailed in that country. We also announce, with the greatest satisfaction, that our Charge d'Affairs in London has been informed by Mr. Canning, in the name of the British government, that the rumor of an invasion of the Peninsula is absolutely false. He added, that all the events England would never abandon her ancient friend and ally, Por-

I am sorry to inform you that our late elegant banking house is now in ruins. it was destroyed by fire last night together with many important books, maps, papers, &c belonging to the bank, and to the Auditor's and Secretary's office -- It is said that some of the land office books and papers have shared the same fate. The money was saved. The north wall of the building has fallen in. The fire broke out in the bank while the cashier was gone to supper. There were persons in the Auditor's and Secretary's offices when the fire was first discovered ; and it might have been extinguished

The speaker decided that the resolution was decided it the affirmative, though not by two thirds of the House, and said that the yeas and nays would be sent to the Senate with the resolution, and intimated that if it there receive; the votes of two more than two-thirds, it would have passed the general assembly by the constitutional majority. Mr. Field moved that the resolution lie on the table. The speaker decided that it could not be on the table because it had passed the house.

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. NEW YORK, JAN. 11 The line packet ship James Monroe, Capt. Marshall, arrived last evening from Liverpool She has brought London dates to the fifth of last month. They afford nothing of interest except the speculations on the probability of a war between France and Spain. The congress at Verona, it is said had broken up. The course of their sitting, the Spanish Envoy declared that Spain would not consent to the slightest modideation of her constitution, by the dictaori of foreign powers, and she has, therefore, been delivered over to France, who is expected will compel her to return to the ancient system Great Britain and all the alied powers, have promised to remain neutral. The Paris Moniteur contains the speech

Ten days later from England BALTIMORE, JAN. 10 To the politeness of a mighty esteemed commercial friend, we are indebted for regular file of the Liverpool papers to the 20th November, and London papers to Sunday the 17th, brought by the last sailing brig Hyperion Capt. Gardner arrived at this port last evening, in 45 days from Liverpool. The late hour at which we receive them, prevents us from giving as copious extracts from the marine list as could be desired ; otherwise they furnish but little of importance. Our readers will recollect, that by the recent arrival at New York from Liverpool, a general panic had been excited both at London and Paris, by various articles of intelligence which occasioned an almost unexampled faith in foreign securities, and a considerable declension in the price of British funds. Billings's Liverpool Advertiser of the 19th Nov observes, that ihe panic has in a considerable degree subsided," and then traces its progress, and develops its cause es. The observation of the editor are too voluminous lor our limits to day--probably we shall give them entire in our next. Judging, however, from the following sentence, we should presume the effects of the reports alluded to have not been yet felt to their extent: "It yet remains a matter of doubt whether the alarm was produced by the arrival of actual intelligence from Verona, or

was merely the effect of a stock-jabbing

speculation; but whatever may have been the cause, the result has been excessive ruin and distress" The shock was so great as to affect British funds nearly, 2 per cent. Consols having opened at 81, and in a few minutes fell to 79!

The subsequent brief summary is all that we perceive of the least interest Paris papers received at London on the 16th November, state that a report prevailed in the French Capitol, that the Duke D' Angouleme had set out to join

the army of observation but the Quito dienne places no faith in the rumor. The

RENTES at Paris had declined about half percent and lelt off at 88f. 20c The fall is ascribed to some failures which

had recently arisen out of the lat fluctu-

ations. Accounts from Madrid to the 8th Nov had reached London. Gen. Mina had followed up the capture of Castelfolit, by the defeat of Baron d'Erolies on the 26 ult. in the mountains near Augda. The rebels were dislodged from all their positions and driven back in great disorder in their direction of Seo d'Urgel. The Echo du Midi, of the 30th of October says, that Gen. Tortijos is dead of the wounds he received in the attack upon the fort of Castelfolit. The same paper mentions that the news of the capture of Corunna by the Royalists, daily acquired strength ; and that the military feats of Zaldivar, have struck terror into the hearts of the Descamisados of Andalusia " The Ex-Empress Maria Louisa, is, it seems one of the visitors at Verona. Advices have been received from Lisbon to the 31st ult, by way of Madrid. The Diario do Governo, of the 80th.'contains the following article : We have certain authority for assuring our readers, that the French
