riXCEXYIi! AUOUsT 25, 1627.

In Una day's paper, at the request of a friend, I have given a speech of Mr. Stewart's, in relation to the American System" and also, par tot a speech delivered by Mr. Uuchanan, in relation to the same subject the balance of Mr. Duehanan's speech shall appear next week. Those gentlemen differ in opinion upon the merits of the ,l Woollen bill' yet on the great question, cf American policy, they will be found to agree. The election for Representatives to Congress in Kentucky has t csuitcd in the election ot seven Jackson, and five ad ministration men. The Hon. John Sergeant, minister to Tacabaya, and Wm. B Reed, Iqr. his private Secretary, arrived at Philadelphia on the 28th July. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Fort Wayne, to his friend near this place, dated July 1 2th, 1827. fv I stopped with the Engineers who . were encamped at Sallimanna two weeks ago. They are extending a line of lev. w els down both sides of the Nabash to 'Tippecanoe will return to the fort and proceed in like manner, to the state line down the Maumce, should they not be requested to continue (although it is in Ohio) to Defiance ; after which, the chicl Engineer told mc he hoped he would have time to nuke the location across the summit, and a probdde estimate ol the whole cost this fall. Every step the survey progresses developes more and mote the practicability and ultima'e utility of the important stjte object." A valuable quarry of Clouded Mirble has recently been discovered in Paike, a few miles distant from the present scatul justice of tbat county. A speciminot this Matble has been left at Mr. Scott' store in this village ; which is said to bo of a very superior quality. Western Register. BALTIMOIIK, AN GUST 2. From France. L he E I ward Q.icsncl brings Paris files to the IGth ult inclusive, to the New-Y rk Auk rican. The latest accounts in these papers arc unfavorable to the Greeks who, according to the Augsburg letters, had been beaten with vrcat loss, and in a pitched battle under the walls of Athens. Our last accounts from there were of the 20th and 25lh of April the dates of Lard Cochrane and General Church' despatches. It would seem that another affair took place no the 27th, and the disastrous r-.es, as we is for, from collating several accounts, ou the "2d and 6th May'. The first rep u t maJe the result favorable to the Greeks, but sub sequent information gave an opposite and more melancholy view of it. Coming b the way of Augsburg, however an un friendly source, wc may hope thcdisairous intelligence is exaggerated. From the E Ale of 1 6 i June, received exclusively at the '.jjl c of the X. York American C o ic st a n t i n o r I. v. , M a y 2 j , H r cxi r r y . "j The Acropoiis is about to rail. Intelligence has been received here of the total failure of the attempt of Lord Cochrane and Gen Church, and Karaiskaki, to relieve this bulwark of Greece. Aftci several days combat, the Check- were entirely, bc-ten on the 6th of M a lost the flower of their troops, including near 3000 killed and wound; d. Anmug the dead arc eight chic's, and the biave Karaiskaki himself. The combat was desperate, end the Ispariotsnnd Missolonghi.ms, particularly distinguished themselves. All hope of saving the Acropolis being at an end, Lotd Cochrane requested the French Admiral de. Uigny, to propose a capitulation for the garrison to the Sctwskicr. Redsch'd Pacha was at firt unwilling, but finally consented, if the garrison would march out without arms. A flag was accordingly sent in to submit these terms ; but the heroic garrison, certain too of the fate that awaited them, refused to lay dow their arms, resolving rather to perish in the ruins f these last monuments of the glories of ancient Gteecc. The standard of the cross was, however, atill flying on the 1 6th, on the walls of the Acropolis. From the Journal du Commerce of llth June The Augsburg Gazette publishes two letters from Trieste of the 22d Mav, containing news from Syra of 19th May, very melancholy for the friends of the Greeks. They have no longer room to doubt that the Greeks have been beaten under the walls of Athens, and that the Acropolis was upon the point of surrendering. The o-arrison meditated the blowing on the fortress and burying themselves under its

ruins. The Seraakicr, mth his rcinfocc ments from Constantinople, hail sUTom ded the Greek army, who lost in thelat tie 35U0 men or, as some say, 3000' atnong them the biavc Kaiaiskaki. litg lish, French, and Austiian ships ol var were in sight of Athens, hoping to ineipose in faor ol the garrison Paris. June U We were unfiling to repeal the disastiousnews trom Athms, which the Augsburg Gazette gav on .he faith of letters from Syra, of the I9thmd 29th of May, received at Trieste on the 3d instant. We have been in the htbit of receiving with caution every thing which emanates from a city, whose official paper, under the influence of M. de Mettcrnich, often substitutes its wishes for the reality. In general, we should endeavor to be on our guard in receiving the various reports that are in circulation relative to the affair ot Greece. We thought that the Austrian Observer would furnish us to day with some particulars. We a iswer tor its willingness to confirm the loss ol the Acropolis, if, as is stated, it has vielded to the exertions of the Seiaakier, and if the brave Kara isk ki lias fillcn, with three thousand of his men under the walls of Athens. We have the Observer of the 5th before us, w hich is silent as to the' affairs of Grtece May not this silence auger well. The difference i the dates ot the two letters from S ra, tthe fust b,ieg of the 19th, and the second of ihc,29!h May) also excites some doubts as to the autl.cn ticily of its intelligence. The interval of ten days between the two lcttei s which an noiinced such important events, 5k w hich anived at the same moment at Tticsic, is not explained The following is another extract cf a letter fiotn Trieste, dated the 3d - f June : " t he Acropolis still held ut on the ' 6th of May, alter the sanguinary tie feat ot the Greek amiy It was repotted at Svra, that the Greek Admital de Ihgnv and Com. Hamilton had arrived at the Pin us for the purpose of obtaining an 'lonorablc capitulation for the brave defenders of the Acropolis, hut the Sciaskier, was not disposed to gi ant it No ciieumslantial details of the unfortunate ecnts which have taken place under the walls of Athens ate vet known ; it is only ascertained that the first a:tnek of the Greeks against the camp of tho Tut ks promised the most happy rer-tdl. !.u' tin Seraskier having, duiinr- tin- action, te ccivttla reinforcement of (K i t theit-nd

men, the Greek were competed to sot -t ender " Alas ! it is no Ine ( y possible for us to doubt the dt feat f the Gr-- k before Athens ; this sad news is con fumed from all quat tcrs It is affirmed, that the dn'atls given it Germany journals arc incorrect ; out it is too true that two thousand five hundred Greeks have peiished At the last advi ccs, thiec thousand Gieeks, node (it ner al Church, surrounded the hei hts of Phalores. On th 16-hof Mav, (ten days after the defeat of the Greeks) the Acropolis still held out. It was said that four ileiuand Greeks had marched towards Asoaiatn, to the north of the Pyrous, in otdcr p uttack the Tutks in the tear, whilst the other corps should attack them in t: oi t. On the 4 h K.i'. s';aki attacked the lurks and perished, together with three bundled of his men On he 6th, the action took place with he troops who had i fleeted a landing Eight thousand men, sent by R dschid Pucha, attacked their., ami the tie teat ol the Greeks was honible: of twenty two Philhcllcnes, 13 were killed. Lnul Cochrane t scaped with d tlicultv, by swimming to one of his vessels, and G octal Church, in rallying the Gi ccks, narrowly escaped capluie Phis disaster is the more fatal, as the (iteeks. had, by great cxei tions, emhai lied a loieccl ten thousand men to save A thcos; that thc expedition was well co -ducted, and that the Scraskicr shtuld have been a.tacked on bat ti titles at once. It was the I uikish cavaby tiiat threw the Gieek ranks in:o contusion. All the Gteek fleet assisted at the dUcmbat kation. A eiy honorable capitulation having been oflercd to the Greeks, who were shut up in the Acropolis, they replied that if the Pacha wanted their arms, he should come and take them ; but that they would only surrender the citadel with their lics. On the 13th Lord Cochrane was seeking reinforcements among the islands of the Archipelago. From the Aa:.onal Gazette.

It is not pictuukd that treaties of fotcign ministers are required in order to induce foreign nations to permit our merchants to tuinish a market for their productions. The object is to induce them to furnish a market for ours. The va'uc of diplomatic services then tore, in a commercial point of view, consists principally in ihc in creased facilities to imports. I hen to be sine commerce must be much indebted to diplomacy. The Piussian tttaty coat, (outfit to a minister 4500, one year's salary -1500, secretary 2000.)

We wait then to hear the claims to the gratitude, or the honors of 'he country which a minister to Russia may have. It vvr.uld be tedious to go through with the same comparisons in relation to our connections with other powers of Europe, but those with England cannot be omit ted. It is more than thirty years since wc have commenced to form a commercial treaty anil settle our boundaries with her ; every administration has attempted it and failed, and although Messrs Monroe, Pinckney. Clay , Adams, Rush, King and Gallatin have been our r.egociators, nothing has been effected and (excepting tht late war) there was perhaps never a ptri d in which the political and commercial
