THE WESTERN SUN.

riNCENKK St January 21) 1826.

To the politeness of our representatives, (Messrs. Beckcs Sc Moffett) I am indebted for the following intelligence The apportionment bill has occupied a good deal of time, but had not been finally acted upon up to the 9th inst. (the date of my letters) no material change will be made in the revenue law, if any it is believed some changes will be made in the times of holding courts, but no new Circuit will be made a bill has been reported for the survey of a canal route to connect the Wabash and the lakes, it is doubtful whether It will pass Isaiah Cooper, a Justice of the Peace in Owen county, and N. W. Marks, Sheriff of Rush county, have been impeached, and convicted : their trial has cost the stale

between two and three thousand dollars It is probable the legislature will adjourn on this day. The editor has received from a cor

respondent in Mississippi, the following price current, dalcd 22d Dec. and as its correctness may be depended on, he hastens to lay it before his readers. CO RjY is now selling rapidly at gl to SSI 50c. per barrel. It is generally thot this article will bear a good price during the ensuing season. FLOUR is now worth from &5 to g6 per barrel ; this article will, no doubt, as usual be low on the arrival of the spring supplies. PO R K brings from 12 to S5 per barrel ; many think this article will command a good price during the season there is little in market at this time. LARD is selling at '10 to 12c. per pound ; it is advisable to put this article tipvin kegs of from 20 to 50 pounds. POTATOES in demand at from two to g3 per barrel ; but few in market. BEEF on foot, gi 50c. to g6. in demand.

HOGS on foot, g6 to g8 per hundred but few in market. o : : : : - Illinois. T he bill apportioning the representation of the several counties in thi3 state, passed both houses on Tiies day last. Considering the various interests to be harmonized, this bill has passed with unusual uanimity indeed as much interest has not been excited as upon the passage of bills of an ordinary character. There was little opposition to it in the house of representatives, and in the senate without a dissenting voice. This is an evidence that the apportionment has been correctly made, and as it has met the views of all the representatives, it may reasonably bo inferred that the people will be satisfied with its provisions. The following is the representation as provided for by the bill. The counties of Clark and Edgar, two representatives ; Crawford, Lawrence, Wabash, Edwards, and Wayne, one representative each ; the counties of White and Gallatin, two representatives each ; Jackson, one; Franklin , one; Hamilton, one ; Jefferson, Marion and Clay, one ; Pope, one ; Johnson, Alexander and Union, two; R ndolph,

two; Monroe, one ; St. Clair, two; Madison, two ; Washington 5c Clinton, one ; Bond; Fayette and Montgomery, two ; Greene Sc Calhoun, two; Morgan, two; Sangamon, three ; Pike, Adams, Schuyler, Fulton and Peoria, one. The Semitoiial Districts are arranged as follows: the counties of Ctark St Edgar, one senator; Crawford Sc Lawrence, one ; Wabash, Edwards and Wayne, one; "White, one ; Gallatin, one; Hamilton, Jefferson, Marion and Clay, one ; Pope, one; Johnson, Alexander k Union, one ; Jackson and Franklin, one; Randolph, one; Monrone, Washington and Clinton, one; St. Clair, one; Madison, one; Greene and Calhoun, one ; Morgan, one ; Pike, Adams, Schuyler, Fulton'and Pco ria, one ; Sangamon, one ; Boyd, Fayette and Montgomery one. from nilks weekly register Siuin.

Mexico. Gov. Coppingcr, late of Florida, commanded at St Juan dc Ulloa, at the the time of its surre uler, and, certainly, held out as long as he could. Cats and rats had been eaten to prevent starvation, and so reduced was the means of subsistence, that cenlinels died at their posts while under arms! More than four fifths of the garrison perished bv the

scurvy. Yet it is probable that goy. Ccppinger will be afraid to meet the face of his magnanimous and 44 adored " king. Only 40 soldiers remained fit for duty. Peru.

belonging and navigated by Christians

be interesting to all those who desire the Independence of Mexico and South America. The Castle San Juan de Ulloa has capitulated. Out of 500 men who composed ihe garrison, 423 have died with the scurvy and starvation. The rest who survived, arrived here to-day in two Mexican vessels of war. "The late Governor of Castle came also, and although he defended the Castle to the last extremity, he was received with great coolness by the authorities of the Island. The Governor was Coppingeh, late of Florida. So dreadful was the state of the Castle, that they were obliged, lor two months previous to the capitulation, to eat rats for the maintenance of life ; and it was ascertained that many centincls died at their post while under arms."

The gentlemen summoned to attend

are aiding the Tuiks to butcher the j the court of Oyer and Terminer, held in

Greeks, it is very probable that the ac

counts are much exaggerated. A private letter from Tiicstc, dated 4th November, says Missdonghi sustains and defends itself valiantly. Several Aub

tnan vessels have been taken by

Greeks. The brig Severn, with thirty Turkish passengers, fell in with an armed Greek vessel. An engagement ensued, in which she was captured. the ciew put to the sword, and the in ig stink. Only three of the Turkish passengers were preserved, in the hopes of obtaing a large ransom for them.

East Indies A numerous party of armed natives having been collected at a place about 17 miles east at Samarang, a corps volunteer cavalry, supported by )0 seamen and some native troops, went out to disperse them. They weie found to be from 3 5,000 strongand attacked Sc surrounded the Europeans one hall ol the cavalry, (14,) were killed, and the rest of the party escaped onrV IK. the most astonishing exertions. T initiatives kept in the field, and all the citizens ol Batavia had been called upon to pci'fiorm

It is stated in the Chcraw Intclligen ccr, that the Jews of South Carolina positively refuse to pay lh? capitation tax imposed upon them by the 'Governor and Judge of Isrt al." Should the Jews in other quarters prove as refractory, the speculation will not turn out as profitable as was anticipated.

The nomination, of the President, to the Senate, of the Commissioners to lmanTa, puts an end to all rumor on the suUkct of those appointments. The nonunatiolhas not been acted upon by ttie Senate. There is some difference of opinion, we believe, as to the expediency of the Mission. If the opinion ol the Senate be favorable to
