THE WESTERN bUN.

yiXCEXXES, januaiiy 22, 1825. An clcciion for major general, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of major general H. Johnson, has been ordered on the 12th day of March next. George R. C. Sullivan, and col. Frederick Shuults, are candidates for the office. The Editors of the National Intelligencer in their paper of the 1 5th Dec. says: From Indiana, wc hear that, though Mr. Call has been returned as elected a Representative in Congress from that State, vice Mr. Prince, and has actually taken his seat, yet that T. II. Hlake, his opponent, claims the seat, and will attend here o prosecute the claim, on the ground that the Sheriff of one of the counties, which gave him a large n3jor ily of its votes, neglected or refund to return the votes." Where the worthy Editors of the Intelligencer received the above information from, I am at a loss to conceive while we here, nearly on the spot, have bcartl nothing of it. The National Journal of December 30, says, a message from the President, was received yesterday by the House oi Representatives, in compliance with a call for information relative to Com. Porter's visit to Eaxyardo. The President informs the House, that Com. Porter has been ordered to return without delay, that there may be a full investigation of, all the circumstances connected with the affair. A small island called Aruba, for many years a free port, about 1 5 miles from Curracoa, has been found to contain such immense quantities of gold, that the governor has deemed it quite inexpedient to continue it free any longer. Vet-sels have arrived at Curracoa from Aruba, having on board solid lumps of virgin o!d, from one to thirty pounds weight Commodore Rodorus resigned his commission as President of the Bard of Navy Commissioners on the 1 5th inst. and proceeded to Norfolk to hoist his hinad nendant on board the North Caro lina commander-in-chief ol the United States' Naval forces in the Meditcrtarw can. The fact has heretofore been notiredjbut in rather inaccurate terms. 0 Xat.

In. FORKIGN NF.WS Great Britianand Ireland. The Aurora and Fly frfgatcs, were hourly expected in England, from Peru and Brazil, with four millions of dollars. A late number of Cobbctt's Register, speaking of Great Britain, says'4 t housands upon thousands die from want every year in this kingdom. There is not a people upon earth who suffer so much from hunger as the people of this country. In no other country do the people die so quietly from the assults of hunger." Sfiain. It is staled that three-fourths of the French troops arc to be withdrawn from Spain. The fourth, which is to be stationed in the principal fortresses, a fourth is to bs left on the frontier, as an armv of observation; and the rest are to be Tisbanded. Germany. A canal is projected to unite the Danube with the Elbe, to be dug from Lintz to the river Mooldau. This would creue a direct communication from the north of Europe to Asia, by way of the Black sea! An idea is entertained of applying steam navigation on the Rhine. A cast iron huge, set in rnotion by an engine of a hundred horse power, will ascend the river as far as Cologne. The Greeks are said to have been aain triumphant. Dervish Pacha, with 15,000 men, had been repulsed at TherTuopylx. and forced to retreat to Larissa in contusion, with the loss ot fourteen stand ot colors; Odyssus had defeated a party of the Turks advancing from Neropont; and, in Western Greece, Omar Pacha's forces have been routed near Arta. Letters from the Ionian islands of the 20th, 27th Ssptcmbcr, and 2d ofOctober, confirms the defeat of the united Egyptian antl Turkish fleets. They state that their loss was very great, and that they had fled in all directions. Thus have the naval armaments from Constanfiooplc and Egypt been entirely depriv

ed of the power of doing mischief to the Greeks.

East Indies. The Brithh war with; the Burmese continues. A despatch' from Rangoon gives the particulars of an affair, in w hich eight hundred of the natives were left dead on the field, while the British loss, in killed and wounded, amounted only to four As the British are now on their first extensive enterprise against the Burmese, a great amount of spoil may be expected! Peru. We have an account of the complete defeat of Bolivar, and of the invasion of Colombia by Cantarac; but a comparison of dates leads us to believe that it is destitute of truth and, certainly, the story is very improbable! Canada. The Quebec papers inform that there arc now twenty-one ships, mostly of a large class, building in the vicinity of that port, and that a twin ship to the celebrated Columbus, is building on the island of Orleans, a few miles below the citv. Later from London fiaicrs of the 7th November. Great efforts were making in England to procure the pardon of Faunlleroy. The brig Griper has icturncd from the north west expedition, (having been unable to get into Kepuise hav ), exceedingly damaged, and w ith the loss of all her anchors, boats, &c Captain P?rry was proceeding on his voyage. The badness ot thp weather had rendered the whale fishery on the coast very unproductive There is nothing new from France or Spain. The fi: st appears to be quiet, and the latter is disturbed as usual, 2,000 Ftcnch soldiers arc to icmain to preserve the public tranquility. A new conspiracy is spoken of in Poitugal, to make the king lesigii in favor of his son Miguel The Tuiks made a second attempt on Samos. ''he Greeks dashed in to the midst of the fleet, and the barbarians fled to Mitylcnc. Canaris, with his fire ships, bearing the standard of the cross, followed them, and almost immediately five or six frigates were enveloped in flames; after which a great number of' transports and other vessels were destroyed. The capt. pacha escaped, and had anivrd at the DardenelleSiwith a dismasted ship of the line and one fiigalc. It is said that he would not have been permitted to escape, il the Greeks had not believed that he was blown up in one of the vessels which was destroyed. In this desperate affair, the Greeks had eight vessels damaged and 150 men killed and wounded. Tnerc appears to have been two or three butties atter this, with some parts of the hVeis, in all w hich the Greeks were huccestul The Pinks have offered 200, 000 Spanish dollars for the ransom of Ismael Pacha, who is a prisoner. The Greeks have been equally successful on the land, and it is more probable that they have gallantly terminated the war with the campaign which has just closed. They hourly acquire confidence and strength, and the I in ks ar e exceedingly horror-struck and weakened. Believed now from the barbarian fl . et, it is stated that the Greeks intended to make a grand attempt to expel their ecemies from Candia. Some of the proceeding notices are, no doubt, reiterations of former accounts J It appears that the Turks have attributed their naval defeats to a relaxed devotion in the males, and the improper dresses of ttic females! The following firman have been issued concerning the latter: Since the women must never, when they go out, deviate from the rules of decency and honor, it is especially nccesary to take care that none of their actions be contrary to the holy law. 14 An imperial firman has alrcrdy been published to hinder them from w earing embroidered ftredgea and improper colors. The duty of the officers, to whom that firman was add'esscd, was to see its execution. T hey have not done so. In these latter times, therefore, certain women have been seen to change the tone of decency and honor for manners least becoming Musselmans. They have not feared to wear embroidered ftredges, and condemnablc colors, and go the public walks with extraordinary veiis, which suffer their faces to be seen. uSuch conduct is equally contrary to the divine law; and to my supreme will. It is evident that the government must put a stop to such an irregularity, and that it is also the absolute duty of husbands, to take care that their wires do not go out in a dress which, being irrcconcilcable to decency and honor, cannot be suitable to Musselman women. "Henceforward, therefore, the women shall not wear embroidered feredgei, nor condemnablc colors, nor veils artfully contrived to show their faces; whoever be the husband or relations of those who may be seen in such a dross, they shall be

made answerable, and punished for the conduct of their women. ,lYou, my Cadi, will transmit the present order to all the Imans; to be published in all the quarters, and you will employ the greatest diligence to hinder the women from going out'in a costume w hich our imperial w ill has prohibited. "Given in the month of Muharrcn, the year 1240." (September, 1824) A letter yesterday received from the Territory ot Arkansas, announces the tact of vast importance to that lerrityry, atid even to the government, that the Commissioner appointed for that purpose, (Mr. Crittenden) has succeeded in making a Treaty with the Quapaw Indians, by which they relinquished to the United Stales all their lands in that territory. Vc learn further from Atkansas, that a good route has been found for a road from Memphis to Little Hock, making the distance of 140 miles between the two points 40 of which are through a prairie, t he cutting of this road w ill save 300 miles of the route he revere travelled between the scat of the g ual government and the capital of AiL.nsas. It is supposed that there w ill not be more that ten bridges on the road, and that from the natutc of the ground the road will be such tha' it maybe travelled at all seasons of the year. The construc'icn of this road. m connection with the Quapaw treaty, it is supposed will t;reatiy increase the value of the public lands, and contribute revenue to the treasury from the sale of them in that quarter. Nat. Int. Extract of a letter to a gentleman in Baltimore, dattd Porto Caiikllo, Nov. 18. I avail myselt of this early opportunity to inform you, as 1 am advised from an authentic source, that a Treat y is already, or will very shortly be concluded with our Minister Plenipotentiary! the Hon. R. C. Anderson, at Bogota, and the Government of Colombia, generally speaking, on the most satisft.ctory and honorable terms to both nations; and that the most cordial and amicable relations subsist between our aforesaid Plenipotentiary and the Executive in that capital. I may say with propriety, that much is due to the t;dents and political sagacity ot our Minister for the happy completion of this, the principal object ot his mission; and if we arc to judge from the results, we may say with equal certainty, that the Executive of the United States

could not have selected an individual better calculated to fulfil the wishes and hopes of the American government than the gentleman in question: who met its the consideration and esteem of his conn try for the sacrifices he lias sustained in the loss of a member of his lamily since his arrival in Colombia; and for the important Treaty which, I may congratulate you, he has concluded ere this. I am your very obedient servant, 1RANKLIN LITCHFIELD. Such is the state of the arts in Columbia, that a gentleman of Carr.ce.as, was recently obliged to send to Philadelphia, for an humble stone, with an insciipsion on it, to place over the grave of a deceased connexion. Neither Laguira nor Caraccas could produce this humble effort of mechanism. PAila. Gcz. When the Caroline, arrived at Philadelphia on Saturday, sailed from Per nam buco, Nov. 17. the citv was quiet, but turthcr disturbances were soon expected. A report was circulated, and believod to be correct, that a part of the troops at IJahia had revolted against the emperor, and retired to the interior, after having killed their general of arms. Patriot. Capt.

It is an interesting fact, says a New York paper, that the twenty thousand children, whose names have been registered on the books of the common or public schools of the state of New York, but one of them had been traced to a criminal court of justice, charged w ith an offence.
