FOR THE WKSTKRN SUN. TO THE PUBLIC, The following letters from Mr Hendricks and Mr. Jennings, arc so complete a refuta ticin of the charges circulated in the upper part of this district, as to col. Boon's oppo sition to the Wabash Canal Bill, that I will not insult your good sense by one single comment upon them, or upon the charges. S. Washington, March 31st, 1823

Dear 5? I have received your letter of

the ! 2th inst. in which you remark; that I will no doubt be surprised, when you tell mc,

that an honorable gentleman has stated in a

public speech, that you was opposed to, and

voted against the Wabash canal ; and request mc to give you such a statement of your course on that subject, as the facts may jus

tify In reply I have to state, that the gen tleman to whom you refer, has been greatly

misinformed. You was neither opposed to, nor did you vote against the Wabash canal

bill. The bill pivine: a similar errant of lands

to Illinois, was passed, upon ays and noes, and your vote stands recorded as voting in favor of the passage ot the bill. The bill giving lands to Indiana for the Wabash canal, passed immediately after the Illinois bill, but the ays and noes, were not required I recollect, that you several times expressed your anxiety for our canal, previous to the final determination of he subject, which took place on the 2d of March last, in the evening, vphen you were near me, and voted in favor of the passage of the bill to which I have referred. I am, respectfully, vour friend. See. Sec. JONATHAN JENNINGS. R. Boon, Eq Washington, April 3, 132S.

Fellow Citizens By the certificate of William B White, Clerk of Fountain coun ty, it appears that of the 225 votes said to have been given to col. Blake in Fountain county, in 1 826, twenty votes were not given in Fountain, but in Wabash, now V an en county, and that those 20 votes were not returned by any officer authorized by the law regulating general elections. Independent of ,thc?.e 20 voles, thus given, and thus rcturrud ; accoidii.gto the first and vgular certificate of the Clerk ol Sullivan

county, dated the lOih August, 1826, and which is the only certificate known to the law, I had a majority of env -otteoxcv col. Blake. But by a subsequent certificate of the Clerk of Sullivan county, ck.tcd the 26th August, sixteen days after his first certificate, t:uo additional votes are given to col. Blake, and the majority of one, is turned in his favor. It appears bv Mr. White's certificate, that

the Black Sea, and its establishments in the Crimea, had made her suspect projects calculated to distutb her. They are no longei doubtful, as the Roulan has ceased to serve as a barrier. Since the Russians have arriv ed at the sources of the Cyrus, and have solid, y established themselves beyond Mount Caucasus, they have become masters ol Georgia and the whole coast of the Caspian Sea, frbm the mouth of the Wolga to the Gulf of Ghilan. Ispahan has long wavered between the Russian and English inflencc. The Gazette de France furnishes accounts from Constantinople to March 26th. The Porte is said to have received from Alsxan dria the disagreeable new that the Pacha, urged by the menaces of the French and English Consuls, had sent orders to his son Ibtahim to evacuate the Morca. This has greatly irritated the Sultan." Eighty heads of the Greek rebels, sent by

Ibrahim, have been txposed at the Seraglio.

"Eveiy body hcie considers the war with

Turkey as entirely decided upon. The vessels freighted by our Government have sailed for the Crimea to take in troops and ammunition, and convey them to the mouth of the Danube. However, it was thought that the passage of the Prulh would not take place before the latter end of next month." Considerable alarm had been excited at Leeds by in Wnations that the landed interest was about i make a strenuous effort to obtain the imposition of a duty on foreign wool, for the protection of the home grower. The Manufacturers were extremely jealous of the overwhelming influence of the landed inter est of both houses of Parliament. CONSTANTINOPLE MAUClt 2G. The long dreaded news that Russia has dtclarcd war against the Porte was received here on the 24th, by the way of Odessa and

Bucharest. Though not official, the news is generally believed, and has caused great sensation. The people, of whom only a part yet know this circumstance, seem much excited, and believe themselves bound to take up arms The Sultan, and those about him, at e said to be tranquil, and almost indiffei cut. The Ratavh Journals state that a mountain near Oudcdardc had sunk, as was supposed, from the effects of an earthquake felt on the 22d Feb. 1827. The sinking took place on an extent of 250 mile in length, by 139 in breadth, at the distance of 60 ells from the ciiidel, though the fortifications had received no injury.

Through Holland, the dates from St. Petersburgh reach down to the 9th inst. up to which time the Emperor was still there, waiting with extreme anxiety the arrival of despatches from London and Paris. Of the postponement of hostilities against Turkey, there can be but little doubt entertained, more from the wetness of the season perhaps, than any other cause.
