Of the votes for Lieutenant governor, I have only received returns from 32 counties, in which Pepper has a majority of 1089 Of the votes for, and against a convention, I have only received returns from 20 conn ties, St they exhibit a larg? majority against a convention The people would bo glad to see the vote of the state upon this question, will not one of the Printers at Incli mapolis furnuh it. The vote for Governor and Lieu tenant Governor, is looked for through the same channel Our electoral law requires amendment, it should be made the duty of the Sheriffs in the different counties to return the otes of their counties to Indianapolis, in person, or by deputy, by some certain day, under a pc nalty sufficiently heavy lor neglect, toinsutc its faithful performance. tn the 2d District, Jennings is re elected by a large majority In the third District. Test is elected by a majority ot 1200 as it is said by newspapers in his district.

This whole mineial country will no doubt before, the next winter be ceded t6 the Unit cd States, when it is anxiously desired thai congress will no longer overlook so important and useful an object." Extract of a letter to the editor of the St. Clairsvil'.t Gazette, from a highly respect able and veiy intelligent gentleman, dated Columbus, July 21, 1828 Sin I have been here five days attending the United States' Circuit Couit,and in that time had frequent meetings with our Jackson friends from different sections ol the state, for information and for counsel, and 1 can assure you, that the cause ol general Jackson in Ohio, is much stronger and his supporters more numerous than I had before expected. There is now no doubt, that with proper exertions, we shall be able to give the Old Heto our sixteen electotal votes, by a majority ol from SIX to EIGHT THOUSAND over Mr. Adams This information lias been obtained from persons of the highest credit and may be confided in " MEXICO A great drought ha prevailed in Mexico for some time past. Scarcely any rain fell at Mexico during the whole ol May, and at the close of that month the heat is said to have been more excessive than was

ever before known, being nearly as great as at Vera Cruz. 1 he lake of Tczcoco was almost dried up, and was no longer navigable. The mortality among the flies and insects was so great, that fears were entertained lest it should cause a pestilence. A public procession, and prayers to Our Lady of the Rc medics, the Mother o! God, were to be had.

A nevj and chtofi paint, wtore imfiervious to the us rat her than cumwjti ftaint. Take ot unslacked lime, a quantity sufficient to make two gallons ol whitewash, when slacked ; mix it with a due quantity of water, add to it 2 I 2 lbs of brown sugar, and about 3 oz of salt The exact propoition of each will be best ascertained by experiment. This, w hen applied as a paint, becomes pet feet ly hard and glossy. By mixing ivory black or lampblack with the ingredients, a beaulilul lead coinr may be. had; or a yellow, bv

mixing suitable ingredients. This paint is now most altogether used at the south for houses, fences. c Cow. It is stated in the Raton Rouge Gazette. u that the. steam boat Alas, bound to Louis ville, came to at 'hat place, and that she hud on board one bundled Germans, men, wo men and children, who were gojo to settle in the Western Country. I tie City Council of New-Oi leans have generously defrayed al! their expense j, or they must have remained in the city exposed to the epidemical diseases of the season." A paper printed in the S ;e of Alabama speaks of a most deplo;. c and alarming scarcity of young ladies Eveiy respectable female, native or stranger, found there, is ns soon as possible, hurticd to the hymeneal a tar The young men ate as 100 to one ol the y Ming ladies! Whether the Cottons or Mro.idctoths arc frowned upon or not, the ladies are always welcomed with smiles. ' .iey shall have protection forever. Singular Whim Some time ago, a Mr. Thorpe, ol Cornwall, advertised a toward of an annuity of sixty pounds a year for life, to a.i) one who wou'd undertake to live seven years under ground, without seeing anything human, and to let his hair and beard growdu'iog ths Hiolc time. Apartments w ere prepared under ground very commodious, with as many books as the occupier pleased, and provision served from Mr. Thorp's own table; whenever the recluse wanted convenience, lie was to ring a bell, and it was to be provided for him. Singular asthi residence may appear, an occupier of tered himself, and is now in the second year ol his probation. He is a laboring man, ami has a wife and a large family.

From tht Xorfjlk He aeon. Commodore Labordc left Havana on the 1st u It. with two ships of the line, one frigate and three brigs ; two of the latter having been ordered to cruise on the coast.

NEW YORK, AUG. 4. Destructive Eire About 12 o'clock last night a fire broke out in a cat peter's shop in the rear of No. 43 Woostcr street, between Broome and Grand streets. The flames

Paris, June 24 According to accounts Irom Smyrna, all the young men oi twenty five years ot age, and under, had received or ders to march to Constantinople. 1 he mass ot the population able to bear arms, it w as anticipated, would be called out. Every thing continued tranquil. A letter ot the 3th instant, from Florence, says: "Wc are assured thai the pope has positively refused to Austiia the occupation ot Ancona and several other ot his sttong towns. His Holiness deflated that he would remain upon the present fooling, and, that if necessary, he would call to lib succour a for midable power in the event of an attack upon

The Augsburg Gazette contains the following letter, dated Constantinople, May 31 : 'The troops which have leh the capital for the Danube were reviewed both by Hassein Pacha and the grand seignior himself, who caused presents to be disti buted to them, and said on leaving them, Conuuct yout selves bravely 1 shall follow ycu soon " The hopes of the porte repose on these noops. although it is well known that the active army of the Russians consists ot one hundied thousand men, and their reserve of sixty thou sand, while the I inks have scarcely eighty 'housand, including those in the eat 1 1 son Nevertheless, the Ottoman piide does not allow them to doubt of the victory for a mo nunt.

War in Scu'h America A letter to Mr Sandeisoii, ot the Met chants' t oftee House, fiom the editors of the New York Statesman, mentions that ik a letter from Cat tha gena, by the Bunker Hid, hi ings information I'll AT' PERU HAS DECLARED WAR AGAINST COLOMBIA, ami sent an army to invade its territory; and that Bolivar has issued a proclamation calling en all Bolivians to take up arms to repel the invasion. The New-Yoi k Journal of Commerce gives the following translation of Bolivar's proclamation : Proclamation of Simon Bolivar to the people of the South. Citizen Soldiers The perfidy of the people of Peru has passed all limits, and broken all the tights of the citizens of Bolivia and Colombia. After the thousand outiages, suffered with heroic patience, we have been obiiged to repel injustice with force. The Peruvian tioops have entered the centre ol Bolivia, without a previous declaration ol war, and without any cause for it ; such a bominable conduct serves to demonstrate to us, what we must expect from a government which does not recognize the law of nations, nor the gratitude which is due to friends and brothers. II teferredto, the catalo:ue of the crimes of the Peruvian government would be too much, and we could not hear it without a loud cry of revenge. But I do not wish to excite your indignation, nor renew the pain of your wounds. I invite you only to arouse against those wretches who already have vi olated the soil of the republic, and yet intend to profane the bosom of the mothers of heroes. Let the Colombians of the south be armed let them fly to the frontier of Peru, and there await the hour of retribution. My presence among you will be the token for combat.
