Constantinople was again acton fire on the 3.st July. The Greeks have obtained several small advantages in different quarters, and it is repeated that the Turks were severely defeated at Thernmpv ise, as heretofore stated, but we have not particulars. The following are given as the conditions on vhi.h the French were willing to withdraw their troops Sc conclude "peace : I.

A ivvv European congress, it is said, is to meet at Milan. A brother of the emperor of Austsia will probably succeed the late pope. FOIl THE WESTEKN SITU. Mr Xtauf It is very probable that in the estimation of the great men of our n c !v litt e state, I may be guiity of great presumption in daring to scratch a line relative to that subject on w hich all their can ul tions depend; and it is more than pioa ic, that in touching the pivot on which our patriots have suspended their political lives, their fortunes, and their saere ! honor Pshawtheir interest. I I htiz their pardon mav interfere with matt , rs, ol which my unilluminatcd mind cao t'ir .i no just conception. But notwithstanding, gentle printer, the spell is on m , an t cannot be resisted. oat the inhabitants of this country arc cxtri- nelv patiiotic, cannot be doubted V' arc presented with proof of this pro position continually. Not only on the day of t c general election, but at all times. For what motive, what indurcni: nt can act -i te our citizens in aspiring to office but patriotism. Not honor we have it n .:or ignominy k disgrace would long since, have driven many of our foremost c'u'uctei s in'o their native insignificance. N it profit the leprosy of povcrtv is up on us, and affects each tiling connected with us. Not the nature and fitness of things for what is more absurd, what m v.- incongruous than the claims of most of our candid itos. if the duties of the ofhVo. and the qualifications and abilities 'd tho candidates be regarded. And mori , M . P inter if perchance, once in a loni; Whj , ih - nature frncss of things has a jtis h fl u nee if, accident dly. notwi'n "tantling the jealousie of the ignc-iant,

Is he regarded witb kindness supported with justice or sustained by the gratitude of his fellows? No whither he be FenceViewer or Representative whither he adorns a Tipstaff, or whither he is one of; those on wnose protessional knowledge, official energy, and native integrity, the satety ol our property, persons and characters depend, it is oi no consequence. At once he becomes the mark at which Malignity casts its venom Jealousy hurls its slander and Detraction points its sting. The whole hive swarms and all throw in their mite, from the low base villain, who, contented to commit a petty larciny on goodness, whispers his falsehoods in the corner of a grog shop, up to the well dressed strutting scoundrel, who, perhaps boasting his acquaintance with the great men of the nation, and telling of Sidney, Russell and Locke mangles fact3, dresses his falsity in the garment of plausibility, and dares to publish it. Patriotism , gentle printer patri otism is the disease of our fellow citizens and, it is not matter of astonishment for so many have upborne the weight with which dulncss, and ignorance, and villany oppressed them, and have become, I wot not what that this Booby, and that Pil ferer this Detractor of innocence, and yonder malignant Demagogue, to whom the mere idea of wotth is gall whose only pleasure is to occasion pain whose only employment is to misrepresent the truth, and whose only object is self aggi adizement at the public expence all may hope to rise Their hobbies are Various some ride the Taxes, ft others Religion some talk loudly of Private Rights, and attempt to ride the interest of tneir neighbors some use the Constitution, and others wish to mount up on the Presidential question. ror myself, I care but little lor any o these matters but, Mr. Printer, 1 wish to let the scoundrels know that there is one among them who takes notes, and prints them one Who iovCa to shew things in their true colours, and hopes that accidentally, some may be touched with affright at the bideousness of their own characters, and may repent, and turn from the evilness of their ways. However, of the Presidential hobby, I will trouble you with my cogitations. For many months 1 have silently watched the progress of individual opinions, not only respecting the chiet magisttacy, but also touching the mode of electing electors ot President. Occasionally 1 have met with some persons whose opinions on these matters were not tffected by passion or interest, but appeared to be guided by a regard for the general welfare these persons were all in favor of electoral districts, as bringing the choice as near as possible to the people, and consequently as the most republican but these honest souls are scarcely heard in the clamour raised by our " dealers in office" all of whom are secretly for an election by the legislature, and professedly for an election by general ticket, and that " to give the state weight" that is, when translated i ito common language, that they may have something to baier for, with the wholesale hucksters ot the Metropolis. If the election is by districts, the sentiments of the people will be fairly expressed, and our great men will not have oc casion to display their management, and of course will not deserve a reward from their masters. But on the contrary, let the election be by the legislature, or even by a genet al ticker, and the result will be guided by the intrigue and management i of two or three of our political nabobs. ' five votes will be very welcome to any of the candidates the keeper of the Seals would express his gratitude, Sc make his pledge with all that elegance of diction, which a rhetorician so well knows to use. That pure republican of '98, the chief of the Treasury, is too well acquainted with i the value of political services, he has too i long dealt in othces, not to reward most ' amply the humble Iriena who supports ; him with five otcs. And the favorite of the V est, possesses so much amiableness ! of manner, and is so sensitive to all that ! "s kind and soft in nature, that without doubt he would welcome most warmly, Sc reward most generously, the noble minded patriot who points five votes the ptopcr way. Thus, Mr. Printer, should true republican principles prevail, should the electors be chosen by the people in districts, all these fine prospects will be olasted and hence the uproar for state weight state consequence, 8cc. It is most amusing to observe the conduct of the pattiots, and to trace the mo--iv s bv which they are actuated some .'-o in i i'uicv was nurtured on the lusci ous pumpkin and savoury onion, U were

Others, captivated by ihc glittering sweets of the Treasury, enraptured by the pomp of Southern aristocracy, and by j the splendour of the King people', or se-J duced by the great promises, by the good dinners, or perhaps by the firrs'jna) fa-' miliarity of the Metropolitan favorite, worship the substantial comforts of the Pecuniary Deity. And others again, seduced by the charms of a fine address, noble manners, and honeyed tongue that is to say, en chanted by the prospect of vouthern Em bassies, Road contracts, Canal jobs, and perhaps the whole patronage ot the Uni on, throw their anxious glances towards Lexington. With all these. Interest, naked and without disguise is the Polar Star of hope. But there are men here, and many too, who although restrained by the noisy de clamation of turbulent demagogues, and of patent patriots, induced by a regard for the general good, earnestly look for some man whose pure$ unspotted integrity, has shielded him from the contaminating touch not only ol private intrigue, but ot official trafiic. Whose mind, not accustomed to the contracting contemplation of Setf, can range beyond the confined interest of Distiict, State, or Section of the Union, and regard the welfare of the whole with equal eare and attention and whose life, disinterestedly spent in the public service, and marked throughout by the wisdom of his measures, the en ergy of his conduct, and the success of

his undertakings, afford the strongest (jwi subscription, headed by the conproot ot Ins ihoiouch devotion to InsLi;,- Kf n.,i .i,,.:,-

proot country's cause. Such a man might not be able to iip root the system of venality so rapid'y spreading throughout the nation. . Senators and Representatives might continue to traffic wuh offices the heads of de partmcms might continue their intrigues and the Clerks in the national offices might continue to drive their carriages at the national ex pence. But the very char acter of such a man would restrain all this. Viituc, political and private, mig''t again become tashionable Worth might again become the cri'erior of distinction and the offices of the country might a gain be given, the reward of merit to the welt deserving. 1 berefoic, Mr. Pi inter, in my opinion, it behoves every true American, every siucete renub.i an, to m m search diligently for such a man as I hav attempted to descube, and when discov ered, to suppor .him with their whole strength. For myself, after much cogi tation, and ma'.ute consideration, I have concluded that JACKSON approaches the man I want, more neaily than any of the Presidential candidaus and conse quently JACKSON is my man and more, he is the man of most ot WvCrirnds U:NTiS P.
