The King appears anxious to do every thing to contribute to its prosperity, and he, as well as his family shew themselves much to the People, not in the Capital only, but in different parts of the country.
We have said, the papers contain no : thev do not at-
ford any. The following speculations, however, are interesting to us Americans, as shewing that the movements ot our Mediterranean squadron have no little consequence attributed to them, in the continental journals. The reader will of course put a just value upon the rumors and conjectures embodied in
these paragraphs. The ultimate destination of the United States frigate Brandy wine is said to be Constantinople. The Government of the United States has been much displeased by the refusal of the Forte to receive a diplomatic ag nt, resident in the capital of Turkey. It is said, that a demand is about to be made for the reception of an Envoy from the U. States, and that this demand will be supported by the presence of an American squadion in the Mediterranean, which is to be strengthened by the North Carolina ship of the line. It is also added that, in case of this demand being refused, the determination of the U. States to assist the Gcceks in establishing their independence, will be declared It is rumored, that the opposition of the Porte to the wishes of the Government of the United States is founded on a secret treaty, in which it has pledged itself to the British Govennment not to receive American official agents." .Vat.

Tennessee. At the late sc?sion of the Legislature of the State ol Tennessee, an act was passed, for allowing any person to enter any vacant and unappropriated land, lying East ol the Congressional Reservation Line, and noith ot Tennessee river, by paving one rent fit r acre tor every acte; Provided, that no person shall enter more than si:-l hunJt cd acres, nor less than twenty-five. Theru- is in that pait of the state a great quantity ol vacant land, some of it adapted to cultiva
tion, and the timber ofotlur portions ol it being valuable. This presents a fine opening for emigrants, who aic hot afra?d ol hard work and spare living for a time.

gers mourned,' yet it is haid lor mc to argue against the old saying, that " Republics are ungratclul," until the ashes ot him whosaifl Vc have met the enemy and they are nuts," rests in the bosom ol that land which he to nobly defended.'
"The point which the United States have selected for the formation of an cs tablishment in the Mcditei rancan is, it is said, the Isle of Milo, situated about sixty miles north of Candid. The port is one of the most beautiful and capacious in the Mcditert ancan. The entrance is
narrow, but then it presents a vast bay, of j of the
sufficient extent to contain the vvhoic ui the British navy." lb.
The noted William Cobctt takes the libcity at all times, to eulogize or to flout the American character, as best answers his purpose. Whenever the eye courses down the page I this writer, a;ul America becomes the object ol hisremaiks, we know not whether we are to mct with a
compliment or a sarcasm. In the present quotation, the former happens to he the ease. lie is now combatting the assertion, made somewhere, that the Ameri can character is distinguished for its rudeness. Bait, tinier. " Where are we to look for those m'arks of comparative rudeness ? Not in the speeches made in Congrcs, nr in the notes and oilier papers of their diplomatic ministers; for, as lo these latter, it makes one blush for one's country to view their vast superiority. Is it their friendly and dignified deportment towards foreign nations ; in the wisdom and gentle ness of their Government and laws ; in t ic peaceful behaviour of their citizens ; m the absence of crimes, and in the want of rotten boroughs and a kt new droi is it in any, or in all ol these, that we arc to look for the proofs of this alleged r::de7i ess ? , So far, sir, is it, from being it tic, that

Amendment of the Constitution. Extract to the Editor of the Baltimore Patriot, dMcd, Washington, Jan. 9. The committee of the Senate have this day concurred inareprt tube made on
the amendment of the Constitution, relative to the election of President and vicepresident of the United States. Each state is to be divided into Electoral Districts. The people to vote di rect for President and Vice-President. Each district to count as one vote, the same as if it had been the vote of an elector. The elections to be held on the day August. Congress to meet on the first Mcnduy of October of every fourth year. On counting the votes, if no one shall have a majority of the whole number, then The two higest on the list sh?ll be sent pack to the people, from which two the peope are to elect the President or the Vice-President, as the case may be. Jrkznsss Mr. Moore, MTDoria!d, and Magnes the Commissioners appointed to survey and mark out the route lor a road, in Arkansas Territory, from Little Kock to Cantonment Gibson, completed their labors early last month. The length of the road between the two extreme points, is about two hundred and eight miles. Mr.JawesS. Cnnwj, the Commissioner appointed for that purpose, has completed he nmning and mat king the line forming the eastc.n boundary of the land ceded to the Choctaw b di in Arkansas Territory- !t is itm.d b the Commissioner, that in Crav, ird (oomy, on the river Poteou, sixty o ei uv v-tui-Hes, and the greatest part ui ' Uc iniuibi tants of Miller a unty, ate icft on the vest side of the line.
