Pert Monroe at Key facaa. Capt. F.
made the first settlement at the west end of Key Vftcas, (which he called Port i Monroe) on the 1 9th November last, having two vessels, the Polly & Comet, un
der his orders for the purpose. Since which time, they and their crewg have been employed in wrecking along that coast. The soil of the island is represented to be tolerably good, and it is covered with a thick growth of wood. The climate throughout the winter, has been mild and pleasant, and seed put into the ground w hen they first lauded had nearly com to maturity. It is situated in lat. 24, 42, by observation, and is laid down in the charts to be in long. 8 I, 2. It lies N. E. from Key West, distant about 40 miles. There is 18 feet water at the entrance of the hat but-) and there is fine anchorage inside in four fathom water. The main object in establishing this settlement w as to afford assistance to vessels wrecked on the coast, oi in distiess; to aid in the pieservation of lives and property ; and several instances have already occurred in which tlie hard) settlers have been instrumental in doing so. Vessels appearing off the port, and in want of assistance, or of a pilot, may btain either by shewing a signal. The settlement will be readily distinguished by a flat; staff, on which a flag is displayed whenever a vessel apptais in view, and by the huts which have been erected there. Charleston Cornier. From the HarrUburh (Pa.) Commonwealth. Presidential Electn. Wc feel much satisfaction in lay ingLlje lore our readers the following letter ivJh the u Hero of New Orleans," in answer to one addrt ssed to l.im by the committce. appointed to draught an addiess to the people of the Union, on the subject of the next presidential election, appointed at a meeting of the citizens of this county, held on the 2 1st of January last NASHVILLE, Feb. 23. Gentlemen Your letter of the 3d inst. with the Harrisburg paper, entitled the " Commonwealth" containing the address voti have alluded to, has been this day received The complimentary manner in which my fellow citizens of Pennsylvania have been pleased to notice my military services, and ther voluntary expressions of respect and confidence in me, has excited on my part, a proper sense of gratitude As a committee, appointed to draft an addrtas to the people of the linked States, on the subject of the next presidential election, you ask to be informed u whether I can, or do approve of my name being used at this time as a candidate for the presidency of the United Stales!" 1 should have consulted my own feelings b continuing to avoid speaking on the subject ; but the respectable source trom w hence the inquiry emanates, prohibits any but a candid notice of your communication. My undeviating rule cf conduct thro life, and which I have and ever shall deem as congenial with the true republican principles of our government, Iras been, neither to seek or decline public invitations to office. For the services which I may hae rendered, and which have, it is hoped, proved in a degree beneficial to my country, 1 have nothing to ask. They are rickly repaid with the confidence and good opinion of the virtuous and well deserving part cf the community I have only essayed to discharge a debt which every man owes his country when her rights arc invaded; and if twelve years exposure to fatigue and numerous privations, can warrant the assertion, 1 mav ventmre to assert, that my portion of public service has been performed ; and that, with this impression, I have retired from the busy scenes of public life, with a de sire to be a spectator merely of passing events. The office of Chief Magistrateof the Union, is one of great responsibility..-. As it should not be sought by anyOdivV dual of the republic, so it cannot, with propriety, be declined, when offereJ by those who have the pow er of selection. It is inteiesting to the American people alone, and ir. the election, they should exercise their free and unbiassed judgment. It was with these impressions, I presume and without any consultation with me, that the members of the Legislature of the tate of Tennessee, as an additional testimony of their confidence in me, thought proper to present my name to ;ho American community. My political
creed prompts me to leare the affair uninfluenced by any expression on my part, and to the free will of those who have alone the right to decide. Your obedient, Sic. ANDREW JACKSON. To the Committee of Daufihin county. FROM COLOMBIA. Unexpected Int exigence. After the accounts we have had of Mic prospect of a speedy termination of the war on the southern continent, we were surpiizedas well as giicvedat the following information yesterday received by the way of Charleston. From the Charleston City Gazette. The Havana Noticioso" of the 7lh inst. contains the following intelligence, which, if true, extends the termination ot the war on the Spanish Main, to a period much more distant than had been anticipated. e doubt the news, however, but should it prove corn ct, Morales must ft lially yield to numbers united in the cause of liberty, notwithstanding his courage, his ciuelty, his skill and pet si veranct. Havana, March 7, 1823 A person on whose information and veracity we depend, has communicated to us the following important intelligence : On the 23d Ftbiuaty, arrived at the port of Ho guin, capt. D. Manuel Carmona, w ho lelt Maracaiho on the 13th of said month, and positively announced that gen. Morales entered Caraccas with his army ; a deputation had previously salli cd out of the city to welcome I im, and had met him at the distance of 10 It agues. Our informant further says, that the ship San Fable had arrived at Fcurto Cabello, with troops and money, and that a circular order had b.en sent to the respective commandants ot Und fotcts, that ad stan gers who should be taken in arms, should be put to death within three hours after their capture. FHOM LIH k RIO t ANEIIIO. B alti.mwkk, March 28 The elegant brig lUriiot, capt Mathc Kelly- from Lima, and 43 days from Rio Janeiro, arrived belovf last night. Capt. K who came up in the steam boat Maryland, has politely communicated for the American the following interesting intelligence. A revolution had taken place in Chili, and an army was on its march from Conception against Santiago. The crops in Chili were good; American flour wa3 ptohibitcd and 80 percent, duty charged on all imports from the U. States The lirazillian congress ha 1 noc assembled, and it was doubtful if they ever would. Some of the provinces refused
to send deputies. Pctnanibuco had declared for a republic From the Baltimore Morning Chronicle thk holy alliance Of the holy alliance is it not an indisputable fact, that the members resort to their cannon, when they arc much more unpopular than they bavc ever been. Louis, while sitting on his o wn tomb, instead of the throne of his ancestors, declares war against Spain for the preservation of his dynas'y. He .does this at the very moment when all discontented and disaffected Frenchmen are turning their eyes to the young Honip"itVfs the legal proprietor of the crown. The emperor of (Jermany enters France as a friend indeed, but is there nothing to fear from such friendship; that he may advocate the pretensions of his own grandson to the crown of France, and take advantage of the turbulence excited by his own arrival. Mas not Louis much moic to leur from the emperor of Germany than he crn
possibly have fiom the Spanned; ? II Matia Louisa hou d appe.r n: Fails vuh the son of Napoleon in her tim. at the

- j dcr should be a part. u such a mc, to put an end to the Bull b-n dviyty altogether, as the only nu de that could be adopted to quiet the disaffected F' encn, and id pisserve the monarchy in France ? Maiia Louisa was present at congtess cf Verona, and is there anying incredible that such an alliance between Russia and Germany might have bc'ehnful at that place Does any one who has witnessed the sort of frenzy that has pervaded the debates of the French legislature for a longtime past believe, that the son of the exiled emperor is doomed to lead the life of an harmless Sc inoffensive private roan? In the midst of all these ominous appear anres, Louis admits German troops into France, to the pilpable and manifest d.v ger of his dynasty. He cumplaina of uic
turbulcnt and disaffected of his own subjects, at the very moment that he is making a turnpike way for the voting Napoleon to tne throne of Fruoce This change would pacify all the fiicnds of Bonapartethey would rejoice in a revolution, by which such an cveni might be brought about, and they look upon the young Napoleon as the rightful inheritor of the crown Now , let the question be put to any statesman to determine, w hether the gouty Louis is in more danger fiotn Ferdinand, than he is from the son of the ex-e nperor ; whether G ununyis not a far more dangerous ncii y than Spain vvhctlu r discontented Fienchmen would not triumphantly i.ad the animal t f Francis Indeed, that Louis should t vcr have dreamed of foreign war tor the pieservation of his crown, seems little short of downright madness. His obvious policy was peace to hate been mild Sc merciful, to have suffered things to have settled down into quiet and repose by that genth and imperceptible descent, w hi h justice aid clemency will do to have rultivated the a ts of peace leaving his successor to the crown, to draw tig ter the reigns of the monarchy, lie should have remembered, a d have shuddered at the remmbtancc of the vast t xpenditure of blood and treasure, and by whyt strong confederated foreign assistance this change wUs brought about it as his ob vius policy -oobiivia'c the memory of the past Hut the introduction of foi ?gn armies into tVinre for tne thiid time, to prest rye the crown on the l ead of Louis, wil bring frish to t e minds of Fienchmen the remembranbe of all tlu it gloiies and all their clef ats ; the former they place to the account if N.ipo'eon, and the latter to that of Lou Just ot unjust, such has been the prpo.br feelii g f n m the day that Napoleon was di iv n fiom the throne and tho only way in hichthe Bourbon dynasty rou d Lave been pt served, was to have extinguished snuh impressions. It opposition to such "ious policy, Louis is kindling upon his tomb the torch of civil war. for the consumption of his own dynasty. In remarking on some speculations in the American papers relative to the c ccupation by the English, of the island of Cuba, the London Courier, says, V arc, however, certain that our government will never permit Cuba to pass into the possession of the United States, who arc already masters of the Florida; while on the other hand, the scuiity of our commerce, menaced by the pnates who find refuge & pt otcction along the shores of this island, may son render some de
cisive measures of defence necessaty.'

It has travelled the round of the literary cir- ( clc of this place for the last four ot fivo days, and it still remains a mystery ! The characters in which it i written are unknown ; they arc neither Hebrew, Gictk, nor Saxon, and the only parts of it hitherto intelligible, are a few Latin quotations.
