THE WESTERN SUN. flXCEXXES, may 2TTT8257"

I have been requested to announce Henry D. Palmer, of Sullivan county, as a candidate for the Senate, in the District in which he resides, at the election in August next. FOIl THE VfESTKRN SUN. MR. stout Actuated by my veneration for truth, and operated upon by the impression that you feel a willingness to assist in correcting the unfounded aspersions against the character of any individual, I request you will insert the subjoined extract of gen John Gibson's letter to John Johnson, Esq. (now deed.) respecting John Black's damages, for the lus of his waggon, he in the year 1312. " The S260 was drawn to cover Tihck's damages, under the supposition tint proper vouchers would have b; en furnished by Lieut. Richardson, to authorise the payment of the money by my quarter master (Davis Fmyd) to Black but this not having been done, I directed the application of the money to other purposes, which were in my opinion, much better entitled to remuneration from the United States th in the claim of Black not that Black was not a real sufferer, but that Richards an was the person who should answer to him in damages, 1 have directed, Genl V. Johnston will, Sec." It is barely necessary to remark, that Black had then a suit depending against Richardson in the General court of Indiana for those damages, in which I was his attorney ; and knowing the insolvent situation of Richardson, I exerted myself towards gen. Gibson, to have Black paid from the yubUc funds but as the agent of Davis Floyd, I was under thv immedi ate direction and contronl of Gibson, who unequivocally states, u he directed the application of the money to other purpo- . scs. I am your's, And the publick's friend, g. w. joiins rox. Vincenncs, May 4, 1825. This letter is dated " JefTersonvillc, Vcb. 13, 181 4," and transmitted by Ho mcr Johnson, Esq. ar.d a cc.tiri:d copy of it i3 now in my hands. e. stout.

Appearances calculated to estrange - the mind from the common course of observation, arc always effectual in direc ting it to the source from whence they emanate It is admitted by all that the moon has her influence an 1 ton the sun lends her light; and that Venus is tl:c evening and morning star. These observations are made as introductory to what we are about to relate On Wednesday last (April 30.) a heavy sound similar to the discharge of artillery was heard, about 3 o'clock, m. apparently descending in a perpendicular direction from the Heavens this '-as followed by something like that of : msquctry firing in defile, and in regular succession. After a momentary intermission, the tent ruJ was heard d'mtinc t:; and as correct as if it had ben beaten on a drum accompanied with something like theru de joy. These sounds were heard in Shclbv:!le, Rushvillc and many other places, more than fifty miles distant from each other. Wc have a cloud of the most respectable - witnesses to testify to ihis statement, among wh.om is our present senator Col. James Gt cgcty. LATEST FROM FR NCE. New York, Aptil 23. The Packet hip Montano, Capt. Smith, furnishes Havre dates to the 23th, and Paris paper", to the 24lh ultimo, inclusive. Great preparations were making at Ilheims for the Coroaatum of King Charles; the expense of which is estimated at six or eight millions of dollars. Prince Mettcrmch wa to leave Pat is about the 1 th instant, to join the Emper .r of Austria at Milan. It was reported that Mr. Stratford

Canning was obliged to wait eight days aficr his arrival at St. Petersburg!!, before he could obtain a short audience of the Emperor. Mr Canning's misMm is sunosedto relate specially to the affairs of Greece. The St. Petersburg Journal contradicts the report of the secret treaty between Russia and Spain, and asscrfjthat the only existing treaty is that of M4. negotiated in concert with the whole of th. Allied Powers. Enters from Eeghorn, of March I 1th, cc- firm the the important news of the surrender of Patras to the Greeks, by canitulation, on the fth of February. On the22dof February, the King of

Naples decreed a general Amnesty, (with some exceptions,) for the political offences committed bv his subjects in August, 1820. Madrid, March 13. About 500 grenadiers have been selected from the provincial regiments to reinforce the Royal Guard. It is reported that the King (of Spain) has signed an Amnesty, which wiil bo published on the PJth inst. when the Court will remove to Aranjuez. A Courier has been despatched to London with the ultimatum of the Spanish government for a loan of 24 millions sterling, 25 pc- cent, of which is 10 be received in the bonds authorized by the Cortes. Nurcmburg, March 15. Private advices from Constantinople state that the Ottoman government had determined to introduce a better discipline among the janisaries, and remove from the capival and incorporate a pari of them with other divisions of the army. This plan having been divulged before it was quite ready for execution, great fears were entertained of a serious revolt. PERU. Proclam ation To the Soldiers nf the Aimy vsk't cnyuered at .Jyacucfii.

Sloat commanding Uohd States Schr. Grampus to the ScviL-i.uy ol the Navy, dated, St. i'iiomas, 5th A piil. 1825. ''Under date of the 1 9th March, had the honour to inform you that I h id visited St. Johns, Porto Rico, for the purpose of offering our testimony against the pirates that made their escape from the vessel on the south side of that Island, when the Captain General assuicd me that these miscreants should have summary justice. On my arrival at this place yesterday, I had the satisfaction to receive the in formation that all who made their escape from the vessel (eleven) were shot on Wednesday the 30th u.t! I hey all except one met their tale in the most hardened manner, the celebrated Cofhkcxnas refused to be blindfolded, saying that he himself had murde-ed ct loast : or
