Thoce who recollect the probation through which Mr. Jefl'eison passed to the presidency, and the angry denunciations that followed his induction into office, must observe their striking parallel in the election of gen. Jack son, and the vindictive feelings that mark his adversaries up to this time. Throughout an inllamitory electioneering campaign, Mr Jefierson was assailed with the intolerant outpourings of a prostitute and licentious press so was gen. Jackson. Mr. Jcffesron was emphatically the candidate of the people so was gen. Jackson. Mr Jeffeison was proscribed by the aristocracy so was gen. Jackson. Mr. Jefierson was called the vulgar representative of a mob so was gen. Jacks m. Mr Jefferson was branded as a tyrant, jcobinical and sanguinary so was gen Jackson. Mr Jefferson was proclaimed a dangerous demagogue, who would subvert the liberties ol his country so was genl. Jackson. Mr. Jefierson ws stigmatised as polluted in morals and alien to all the obligations of Christianity so was gen. Jackson. All the base elements that belong to politicians by profession, and suborned stipendiaries in behalf ol insolent aristocracy, were brought to bear upon Mr Jefferson so were they towards gen. Jackson. All that longing after the diadem of power and the glare (if courts reared its proud crest against Mr Jefferson so it did against gen. Jackson. All the pettician blood of the land, inllatcd with the meagre icmnanls of primogeniture, looked with dis dain upon the plebian pretensions of Mr Jefierson so did it towards gen. Jackson. But Mr Jefferson was a favorite with those who constitute the only legitimate source of power tiic people ; and they placed him as their chesen sentinel on the great watch tower of liberty. The same power have done il,c same thing with gen. Jackson. The sequel proved that there was wisdom in the choice that was made of Jefferson ; and an auspicious probation is likely to do as much for ge neral Jackson.

i'he people, always clearsighted and tc-

Marseilles may have been pronortionably

short. The position occupied by the respective fleets at our last dates, and the excitement occasioned by the blockade, gives probability to the rumour. Bolivar. Letters from Bogota stale confidently that Boliv r was consented to be crowned, and that negotiations arc poinr on with the French government for sc tlinrlre succession on a Bourbon prince. The crbln ol Bolivar, it is said, is now preparing in Europe, and as the recent visit of the duke ol Orleans and his son, the prince dc Chartres, to England, is said to have had for its object an introduction to Donna Maria de Gloria, it is supposed the prince will become the em peror of the Brazils. Bolivar having in view he conquest o! Peru, it will suit his views to have his empire bounded by the Brazils, and to sec two crowns settled on his successor.

The following is com. Porter's account of his battle with banditti, when on his way from Vera Cruz to Mexico. Mexico, May 29. I have not yet had ;mCiitcvJew with the President, but shall to moLh hcn I shall settle all matter s v. ith theni aWiTTciurn home.

On my way here 1 had a most unpleasant and

extremely dangerous ad ventute, but my good genius piotecied me as it has done on many

ether occasions. Travelling with a friend,'

and having no apprehension ol danger, we were suddenly attacked by three banditti, being a part of a gang of seven, well mounted and well armed, with their faces blacked, and looking moieiike devils than human beings. We had merely time to foim a line on one side of the road while they formed on the other. The battle commenced by their captain discharging his pistol at me at the distance of a few paces, I then fired and should have killed him, had not his horse thrown up his head and received the bali in his neck. Jle in great rage fired again at me and missed me bv this time all the pistols ot the banditti were discharged as well as those of my ftiend; one ot my pistols was loaded, and I charged with my 1 1 lend in among the m, they lied and we pursued, w hen the captain suddenly wheeled his horse, passed my iiiend and came directly at me with his sabre to cut me down, I waited quietly until he came within six fectoi me, when 1 shot him thro' the body; he lell on the neck of his horse, and thev both came to the ground together. I lis companions se eing this became intimidated, but alter a liitle, seeing animr ution on their patt to charge against me, (my friend

being occupied in finishing the captain who

nacious of their rights, saw much in the pzst was not quite dead) I seized a small iowiing

to admonish them to guard the future ; rccol- j piece w inch w as in the hands of my servant,

lectiiur that nowcr once lost, was difficult to

be regained, they arrested the first dawn oi usurpation, and removed the hand that grasped at a " stronger executive power." Properly appreciating the purity of their elections and the simplicity of their institutions, they wisiied to select as their chief head, ore

whose professions and practice made him ho-

and compelled them torcticat: this lelt us

masters o I he field. We took posQssfotot ilu -captain's horse, arms, kc. and VHve-cd them to the aicade or magistrate of the next village the villagers tin ucd out aimed, and gave puisuit, when soon meeting five cf the gang they killed one ol them.

We learn from th5 Donaldson ville, (i.a ) July 25. owner of the French brig and schooner which p Texas Rio Granda del .With, cr Great arrived hereon Wednesday last, ftom Guad i Xorth river. Captain Austin has obtained a

i t? -i- I . r .

aloupc, that previous to their sailing, a ves

sel arrived at point Petrc in a very short passage from Marseilles, reported that some French & English merchant vessels attempting to pass the Russian fleet blockading the Dardanclls, were taken possession of by the Russian admiral ; whereupon the commanders of the French and British fleets made a demand for their restoration, which being refused, force was resorted to, and resulted in the destruction of the Russian fleet. We have not been able to learn the date of the sailingof the vessel from Marseilles, upon which rests the probability of the report hut as the above biig and schooner had only sixteen days passa ge from Goree (Africa) to

grant from each of the states through which this liver passes, securing to him the exclusive navigation of its waters, and i3 about to proceed on his first voyage, to ascend it bysteam as high as the Chihuahua, the capital of the state of that name, a distance of about 600 miles. A voyage from New Orleans to Matamores or Refugio, at the del Norte, can be made in three or four days, and thence by steam to Chihuahua in the same time. 'I he Ariel which has left New York, for this pur pose, has an engine of 36 horsepower, is a bout 100 tons burthen, moves at the rate of eleven miles and a half an hour, and draw s but three feet four inches water. At high

water she can get up to within 15 leagues of

Santa Fe, without bcine obstructed bv the ra

pids. Thus a journey which now occupies two months, may be performed in a fortnight, and the products of one of the richest and most delightful regions in the world be added to our imports. A rumour reached us by the last packet from Mexico, (the Vii ginia) that a company of British merchants had offered to advance 85,000,000 to the Mexican government, on the security of the Texas lands, on condition that the province of Texas should be placed under the protection of Great Britain. It was also said, that a proposition would be made, by the Mexican government, to put the Texas lands into our possession, on a loan of tho above sum. This would be in contemplation of a treaty of cession to the United States, by which the Rio del Norte will become our southern boundary, if the proposition should still be accepted. The t dents and experience of captain Austin render him every way qualified to the bold project lie has conceived, and we hope to sec him early crowned with success proportionate to his zeal and activity. Creole. ciierokee country. The territory now in possession of the Cherokees, but from which their removal is likely scon to take place, comprehends according to a Georgia paper, about one-seventh of the whole xra of that state, which is computed by the surveyor general, at 58,000 square miles, or 37,-

120,000 acres, an extent equal to that of some powerful kingdoms. The Cherokee country, therefore has about five and a half millions of acres. By the uniform report of travellers, the world does not contain a region more picturesque, beautiful or healthy, or more fertile by nature, than some parts of this distiict. Ibid. From the Ar:: Ytk Mercantile Jldverti&cr. The sloop Missouri, at this port, 15 days fiom New Iberia, icports. that when two days out, she spoke the ship Bingham, from Mexico, io New Oilcans 1 he Bingham was one ot the transports employed to convey troops in the expedition from Havana against Mexico, and it would seem, from the circumstance cf her being on the way to New Orleans, that the ticops had been landed; and that theie was no further need of the services of the tiansports. P S. By the Dromo, arrived last evening, w hich left Havana on the 25th July, we learn that another expedition, consisting of one 74, two li igalcs. several gun brigs, and a number of transports, with 4( 00 troops, was fitting out Vi be joined by other vessels fiom Trinidad and Porto Rico, to reinforce the expedition which sailed on the 6th for Mexico. A rumour was received that the latter had effected a landing, and taken possession of the city of Vera Cruz. Baltimore, August 1 1 By the biig Rolla, aiiiicd at this port on Sunday, in the short passage of six days from Havana, the editors of the American have received a letter from their correspondent there, under date of the 30th July, which says: "The only intelligence wc have Irom the expedition against Mexico, is brought by capt. Ray, of brig Bevan, from Vera Cruz, who saw the fleet on the lOthinst. 25 miles north of Sisal, steering west. Theie is in my mind no doubt that they godirectto Vera Cruz; and, if unsuccessful there, they return to Campcachy, and tako possession ol Yucatan. This impression is given me from a good source.

REFORM IN THE TREATMENT OF TURKISH ladiks Accounts fiom Constantinople, in the French papers, mention that the Sultan has achieved another triumph over Mussulman prejudice. He has dciei mined that the ladies of the empire shall adopt European customs. To set the example, the ladies of the imperial harem and the wives of the ministers have made their appearance in public, to the great astonishment of the Cnnstantir.opolitans, who could scarcely believe their eyes when they saw these hitherto invisible beauties promenading openly in all the finery of Parisian millinery. The alteration of tho rank of women in Turkey would no doubt effect an important change in all the relations of society there, but the Sultan must be a " bold man" to attempt it. -Var. Int.
