An oration delivered by colonel Robert M

J-vani, at Evansville. on the 4ih of July last,

has been received, with a request mat it may be published. I regret that it is out of my power immediately to give it room - it shall however, shortly have a place. The last mVil brought a prospectus for another new papci, lobepiintcd in Lawrencehunrh, entitled the ' Laivrenceburgh Intel i:r.i:cr and Indiana Literary Garetie" by V. Dawson; he avows himself in favor of the present republican adrninistt . 'ion of the general jyvcrnmcnt. May he ieccivc such encouragement as honest printers merit. It has been hinted to jpc, that certain great : en arc to be at the head of the Jacksonian, about to be printed at Indianapolis ; as it is to be printed by Mr. Smith, for a company of gentlemen will Mr. Smith be so good as Jo iiviu: them If they have not independence enough to avow themselves before the people, they can have no just ckim to the name they assu ue, ami would injure the cause they profess to espouse.

m il'afkir.s On the IfUh Jul', the

jury brought in the following verdict against the prisioner - " Guilty of obtaining $750, money of the United States, in his official capacity, and of applying the same to his own private use." - There is another trial going on, on a charge against him of the fraudulent obtainment of three hundred dollars. Most of our readers will recollect, that before the election in Ohio, the hon. John Sloan,

that state. Among these was one against Messrs Looker Reynolds of the " Natinml Republican," damages laid at S5000. This suit was brought to a termination at the late term of the Supreme court for Hamilton county, and the ex hon'ble Mr Sloan's character was valued at $1, for which he had to pay the costs of suit, no inconsiderable sum, as the suit was appealed from the court of Common Pleas. Charles Hammond, editor of the " Cincinnati Gazette," about the same time brought a suit of the same kind, claiming the same amount of damages, against Moses Dawson editor of the 'Cincinnati Advertiser.' That suit after passing through the court of Common Pleas, was carried by Mr Hammond to the Supreme court, and withdrawn by him on the last day of the late term, he paying the costs It would seem from these cases, that the people of Ohio do not esteem the coaliti-

Sai.km. July 27. 7. On a review of the

i',' - t. the War Department has thought p; oer to ad -pt a diiVerent plan in expending thenvaev appropriated to the Cumberland re id t eruue;!: thi state, fi o!n the lit st instructions - iv into the Comuiisiioucrs. We have bteo la ;ed by c;cn Milroy, with a perusal of the late instructions, whi :h ditcet the openio;" of t'u road eighty feet wide, by icmoi.).; the limber from the whole width cuttinrthc slumps low, and dicing down the briks, vh -n neee-sary, to a moderate descent, 3t Uet wide in the centre, so as to make whit is ::cticrally called a good " neishborIhvmI roid," from the Ohio boundary line to ti.it of Illinois, making the road as good as the appropriation of . "0,000, will ndmitor

proposed by the Commissioners in their ad

vertisement. Mr. Milroy informs us that notice will be given, with as little delay as

possible of the manner and time of letting contracts under the new instructions. This

change appears to have been made in consequence of representations made to the De

partment, that it would more generally meet the views and wishes of the citizens of this state ; and we arc satisfied that it will do this. In thus acting with the wishes of the pco

pie, the present administration has shewn,

that it is desirous of benefitincr the power

which gave it existence, though we have no

doubt that fault will be found by the oppositionists for this very act. Jnnotator.

Sailing of the Expedition from Jlaz ar.c, The ship Lavinia, capt. Miner, arrived at New York on Friday, from New Orleans, spoke on the 10th July, a schooner two days from Havana for Charleston, which gave information that com. Labordc, with his squadron, consisting of one 74, two frigates, and two gun biigs, with five American vessels as transports, and 4,000 troops on board, sail ed two days before the schooner left, for some port in Mexico. It was supposed the first landing would be made at Campcachy. Journal of Commerce. Late Foreign A'eh's. The mot important feature in the aspect of affairs in France, is the discharging of some of the seamen from the naval service, and the probability that there will be no immediate draft oT men for the French army, both of which indicate a continu.ir.ee of the pacific iclations of France with other powers. The Journal des Debits, of the 1st June, contains an article dated Bucharest, 6th May, which states, that toe plague had made it ap pcarancc both a t at place and in the army Accounts from Odessa of the 8th May, were that the Tmks had attacked Baltschick and KaM in, but whether with disadvantage to the Russians was not known. Every thing

was said to be in the best condition at Varna and Sizepoli The latter had been strongly fortified by the Russians, and the heights which surround it had been strengthened by numerous batteries. Several hundred Bulgarians had taken refuge at Odessa from Sizepoli, in consequence of the country being devastated as far as Adrianople, so that the means of subsistence were cut off. The Russian fleet was said tn be in the bay of Sizepoli. It is stated under date of Vienna, 23d May, that prince Gustavus of Sweden, has consented to exchange his title for that

of prince of Yasa, only on the reserved con

dition that he shall

ly received at Vienna of battles between the Fur ks ami the Russians, in the neighborhood of Silistria, to the disadvantage of the Russians. One report was, that the Tutks had destroyed a body of 5000 Russians, including four generals, and captured the military chests, and 12 or 15 cannon. This account is said to be false, or at ;ny rate much exaggerated, but it was admitted that the Russians had, after ? bloody battle near Czcrno wodv, in w hich the loss w as r-rcat on both sides, retreated and entrenched themselves, wait ing for reinforcements to enable them to act on the oUensivc. The Gazette dc France of 31st May, says, it appears that the Russians would endeavor to pass the Balkan by Sizepoli, and debarking at Bourgas. Th'cy are now concentrating at Silistria and Rudschuck. The same paper states that letters from Trieste announced the continuance ol the blockade of Prcvisa by the Greeks. There were many British ships of war at Corfu, and more were expected. The same paper doubts the report that Missolonhi had been retaken by the Greeks. The Gazette dc France ol the 30th May, has the following : The Gazette of Eibcrfeldt publishes a letter from Berlin, which etuis in these words : "As to the fears, says the Prussian Correspondence, w hich arc expressed oi the hostile participation by England in the affairs of the East, the best informed think hern groundless No measure yet taken by E inland indicates a change of policy in re

Jy feelings of gratitude, and ardently devoted to promote your welfare. I feel an honest pride in avowing my obligations for the verdict returned, and feel conscious at the same time, that virtue, the love of country anil the unbiassed opinions of intelligent freemen, had in my case to cont.nd against party schemes and individual tergiversation. Such considerations materially enhance the importance of the decision, and it is to be hoped a few sinister intriguers can never prevail in accomplish;; their selfish views by the aid of this people. No, the honest yeomanry and me

chanics of Knox, both American and French, have patriotism to sustain their high chaiac tcr, and therefore they disregard ihe selfish schemes of any set of political partizans who shew no respect for the pubiic good. But the interests of my constituents shall never be affected in my estimation, by the conduct of a few interested miiitiuers. As

the agent of all, I shall seduously serve all, so far as may be in my power. Being elected without the aid ol self constituted leader in the late division of parties by freemen who were lately arrayed under different banners, without the aid of any excited paity feelings whatever, it shall be nw study to consult the public will. Such were the principles laid down in my public anrounciation, and the continued aid of the public voice will cause an adherence to them. A majority ot the county can direct my eflcrts, and I would on every interesting subject, solicit instiuc tion. My constituents have a knowledge of their wants, and they can command iry servi ces. I invi'c such pol tic and reasonable views as in?y be thought pi oner all such shall be Litblidly attended tc. With assurances of my individual regard, believe me to be, obediently, G. V.

land would take such a resolution only in the

last extremity ; that is, it the Russian armies should have already occupied the plcins of Adrhnoplc, and have menaced the capital of the Ottoman empire. Such an event, though not impossible, is yet buried in the purposes of Providence, the accomplishment of which it would not be prudent to expect before the dcvelopcment of a policy which, according to all appearances, would be the signal for a general war in Europe. Besides it appears to us that England has other motives f-.r weighing carefuily the consequences of her movement. Hanover, that ancient appendage of the royal house of England, and to which she appears to attach so high a price, Hanover will infal libly be lost to her, on the first signal for a general war.
