Salt Munofioly. Considerable feeling seems to pervade the people in parts of this slate, in Ohio and Kentucky, upon the subject of the salt monopoly. The proceedings at one of meetings held in Kentucky, is published in this day's paper, for the purpose of shewing the sentiments and leelings of the people, where ever it has been agitated. How will it affect us? is not almost the whole supply of this necessary article furnished from Kenhawa, for the Wabash country ? I XT ERES TIXG . The utility and advantage that would result, at least to to the Editor of this paper, by the general adoption of the following, is so great, that he cannot help recommending its adoption to his subscribers. kbw fashion. It is said in the NcwHampshiie Statesman, that it is becoming fashionable in the country thereabout to pay the newspaper printers punctually Warm hopes arc entertained that this fashion will become universal. Washington' s birth n.tr At the dawning ot day, the national fl tg was hoisted, and a national salute fired; at 12 o'clock, a procession was formed, and marched to the court house, whete an excellent oration was cleliveied by A G

I write to you under the im prcssion that an inference may be drawn, unfavorable to the election of gen. Jacksou, from the fact that Virginia has not re-elected Mr. Randolph.

We believe, however, that 8 more may safely be claimed in that state, 7 in Maryland, 5 in Indiana, and 14 in Kentucky, which would give him 172 votes 40 more than will be necessary to elect him leaving Ohio and New Jersey doubtful If any of the friends of Mr. Adis. think he can be elected without the undivided support of New-York, (or even with it) we should be glad to know fiom whence the votes arc to be obtained.

The Liverpool Advertiser of the 2d of January, thus confidently speaks During the last week, the anxiety which has pervaded th country ever since the delivery of the king's message to parliament, has, in a great measure subsided, and has been succeeded by a strong and well lounded expectation that the peace of this country would not be permanently disturbed 1 he suspicious reserve ot the French government has been broken through by the speech of the minister of foreign affairs, in which the conduct of this count? y is highly applauded, and ttiat ot Spain most strongly censured; and there is reason to believe that the Spanish government, conscious of its own weakness, and deserted by France and the holy allies, has consented to recognize the constitutional government of Portugal, and to afford compensation and satisfaction for the injury which it has alieady done. This being the case, all seiious danger may be rousidei cd as past, and nothing remains foi this country besides suppressing the rebellion in Portugal a task which will be performed without much difficulty." .

learn that two fiigates and a gun bug, under Commodore Laborde, had returned to Havana from Cape Antonio, and commenced taking in water and provisions.

Immediately after the conference with Colonel Austin the Empresaro of the Al caldas of the same Distiict, Governor Saucedo, sent Commissioners to Nacogdoches, to treat with the insurgents, (or Frcedonians ! as they term themselves,) for a leconci iation. On the at rival of the Commissioners at Nocogdoches, the insurgents refused to hold a treaty upon any co- dition, unit ss the Mexican Government would at kn-w ledge them "Free and Independent !" when the commissionct s thought it time to be bunion, i c. be OPII. We have not been ab'c to ascertain what measnies the Governor would adopt. as our informants k it this District previous to the return of the commissioners The new Republicans, from all accounts, appear to be sanguine in their novel uudei taken, and tiom all appearance, bid fair to become rivals in fame at least, to Gulliver's Liliputians. Notwithstanding the absurdity of the attempt at treedoui, in the opinion of many, it will cost the Mexicans great trouble and a very heavy ex pence, to suppress the insurrection, and if the numerous nationsof Indians who inhabit the province, areas determined on keeping the country independent as represented, it will be a long and savage war; but in our opinion, they will be cventuallv exterminated, or drove to the Rocky Mountains, where they will be as free as air. The number of Indians in the province, is very laige ; it is said by some who have been among the Commanchas, that they have between five or six thousand warriors ; others estimate their numbers to be about tenor fifteen thousand. These Indians have been at war with the Spaniards ever since they have beuiinthe country ; but their warfare has been ot late, carri ed on by small pai ties, whose principal object is plunder There is fifteen or 20 other tribes, but their numbers are small.
