THE WESTERN T VINCENNES, January 5, 1828. By an advertisement ot the Post-Mas ter at this place, and which will be found in a subsequent column, it appears that both the Eastern and Western mails, will hereafter arrive and depart, three times each week a new route has been established between Evansville and TerreHautc. The mails on the above named routes are to be conveyed in four horse stages. I also learn that the Eastern mail will be but ten days in its passage from Washington City to this place. Who could have anticipated this ten years ago ? A good Wife. On Tuesday evining, the first day of the prsscnt year, a Mrs. Simpson, from Daviess county, whose husband was confined in the jail of this place, upon a charge of larcely, paid hirn a new year's visit and the jailor, good naturedly permitted her to remain in the jail with him overnight ; early the next morning she bid him an affectionate farewcl, and departed in tears ; some hours uf'er, however, the jailor discovered that he had departed, leaving her in his place, she having put on the breeches She was shortly afterwards discharged, and he has not since been heard from.

to tho propriety of fcducihg the whole body of our law to a written code. But his excellency has taken the matter out of my hands, and I am forced for the present to submit. Very respectfully, SAMUEL JUDAH. MH. E. STOUT. At a large and respectable meeting of the republican citizens ot Knox county, friendly to the present administration of the general government, at the coutt house in Vincennes, on the 29th instant, pursuant to public notice the hon. Hen ry Ruble was appointed chairman, and Isaac Blackford, secretary. The object of the meeting having been stated by the chairman, it was Resolved, That a committee be appointed to prepare the appropriate resolutions ; whereupon, William Polke, Hyacinthe Lasselle, Alfred G. Lagow, Thomas Bishop, Richard P. Price, Samuel Hill and Samuel Emison, were appointed that committee. The meeting was addressed in a forcible and eloquent manner by Moses Tabbs and John Law, esqrs. and the following resolutions, reported by the committee, were unanimously adopted.

Whereas, the crisis has arrived which

French, and Russian squadron ovCr the combined Turkish and Egyptian fleets. The battle was fought at anchor, and was necessarily bloody and destructive. The numerical superiority of the force was immense, but the result has been, we are pr ud to say, the destruction of the whole Turkish force. The following is a synopsis of the forces: The Allies had 10 line of battie ships, 10 frigates, 6 sloops The Turks had 3 line of battle ships, 19 frigates, 26 corvettes, and 10 sloops. Four of the frigates were, in fact, sixty four gun ships, and there were forty transports mooted behind the line of battle. The following is a statement of the late of the enemy's fleet : One Turkish line of battle ship burned ; two driven on shore, wrecks; 1 double frigate, sunk ; one on shore, ir wreck; two burned; 15 frigates burnt and sunk; three on shore, wrecks; one on shore, masts standing fifteen corvettes but ncd and sunk ; 1 on shore masts standing six fire ships destroyed St three transports Of the sixty-six vessels of war, only eip, lit are left afloat ; the most perfect victoiy ever achieved.

I have given apart of the President's message in this day's paper it shall be completed next week. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 19, 1827. Sir Since I informed you by the last mail of the success of the Wabash measures in the house of representatives, no progress has been made in any thing of importance to our part of the country. The canal bill was the order of the day, for this day in the senate, but was not reached. The Michi an road bill has been under consideration for the three last days in the house, without any result whatever; Lawrenceburgh, Madison, New Albany and Lcvcnworth, ate nearlyequal in strength. There is not any pros pect of success for any point whatever, south of Levenworth which is even now rather the weakest. Madison has had the most votes as yet. 'This bill is the order of the das to morrow in the senate ; of course for several days it will engross the attention of both house I send you a bill relative to limited partnerships, which I introduced under the protection of the Judiciary committee Some of its provisions, especially the 8th section, will be struck out in committee of the whole. It was the order of the day for Monday last, but its progtcss has been interrupted by the Michigan toad hill. It will pass the house of representatives, S; will succeed in the senate I think. 'The state uiil be greatly benefited in my opin ion by this bill, if adopted ; as it will en able capitalists to engage in manulacturing establishments, without ri-kiog their whole property. It will answer every useful and honest purpose of incorporations without any of their evils.

We have a bill authorising the Hoard of Justices, at their discretion, to sell the Poor house in our county, and in that case to apply to our county the provisions of the rreneral law relative to the poor. Mr. McClure and I were satisfied that a large portion of our constituents would pi t fera Bale of the Poor house, and a return to the ni l svstem : but we concluded to leave

the choice with the Board of Justices, as ,wc had no particular instructions upon the subject. As yet nothing has been done in relation to the Louisville ro d. That is a con

cern belonging to the Uoad committee upon which they have not vet reported Mr. McClure is a member of that com rnt'tce. and I am satisfied will attend to the business. There is a deficiency in the treasury; but I hope we shall get along without increasing the taxes ; however, many members speak of the necesity of adding 12 J cents to the roll tax for state purposes. If the attempt is made, I shall oppose it . The committee upon education have reported a bill to establish a college at Rloomington ; the bill has not been yet printed I cannot form an opinion of its merits. A committee in the senate reported this morning upon that part of the go - vernor's message relative to Rail roads ; they pronounce his project to be visionary, and I was told that their report excited some feeling A certain degree of courtesy is certainly due from the legislature to the governor of the state; even if in their opinion, his recommendations are improper. A joint resolution has been adopted in the house of representatives, and will pass the senate, requesting a removal of the Pension agency from Corvdon to this place. I intended to have introduced a resolution into the legislature, for an inquiry as

renders it necessary for the friends of the ttannet, where his Lordship was detained manufacturing interest, and of internal ; hY t,,e quarantine regulations ; but the au improvement, to unite in favor of. he prin- j pontics permitted the despatches to be

stration, which have been unih-rmly xerted" o devclope the resources, encourage the industry, and ensure the true independence of our country, therefore Resolved, That we have the fullest faith and confidence in the present udmi nistration of the general government ; St that their measures tend to promote, in the highest degree, the best interests of our common country. Resolved, That there is not the slightest evidence of coirup ion on the part of that distinguished individual Henry Clay;

that his conduct in the late presidential election, was prompted by the purest and

the Admit alty, vesterdny morning, and

were immediately sent off to His Majesty, at Windsor. Mercantile Advertiser.
