TO THE CITIZENS OF KNOX. Query Can a person, not a citizen of 'he state, consistently with the constitution be appointed to, and exercise the duties of 1 rustce to a county Seminary ? And, if lie can, is it expedient that he should? A CITIZL.V. Louisiana. The resolution inviting en. Jackson to participate in the celebration of the 8th of January, 1328, at New Orleans, has passed both houses of the Legislature ot Louisiana. It passed the Senate unanimously. In the House it was warmly contested on party grounds. The Iriends of the coalition were called Upon, by the "authoiiiy" presses of the city, to be punctual in their attendance they obeyed the call; U the consequence

was, that the number ol members present

was greater than it had been on any previous day of the session Attempts were made to invite other officers, us well as rcn. Jackson, but without success : and , it was ultimately contended, that the object of the friends of the resolution was, to obtain, (if not a direct,) an indirect cxpressionof the Legislatuie in favor of the

election of gen. Jackson, to the office of

President. The debate is said to have been quite animated, if not boisterous; but the resolution was finally adopted by a vote of two to one. The following is the Census of NewYork, taken in 1825. . IJesides valuable

The Duke of Wellington succeeds the Duke of York as Commander in Chief ol the British Army. He has declared his intention of retaining the whole of the Duke's official establishment. A small French squadron had arrived at Lisbon. It had excited much specula tion lor a few days. It soon, however, appeared its destination was the liraziis, with a minister lor that kingdom on beard, and also to reinforce the Ficnch squadron on that station. The British troops in Portugal already amounted to 6000 men. Many broils had occutred between them and the I'ottu guese Several of the former had been assassinated. It is supposed that the number of British troops is altogether inadequate to hold the country A letter Irom Lisbon, dated Jan. 12th, says, 4' We have no Spanish papers here, and the Government Office icveas noth

This righteous bill received its quietus, by adopting an amendment including the heirs and legal t epresentali ves of deceased officers and soViicrs thus loading the bill with an eooroious sum, nr fritting down the proposed appvopriaiiou to a miserable pittance.
