Vo?;i the Ohio State Journal, FOR FIG N INTFLLIGFNCE. By tho arrival of the British ship Jean llastie. from tireenock, papers to the 13th of June have been received at New York; but their contents are more than usually uninteresting to the Amcri can reader. lib reported that the King had intimated his pleasure that the Duke of Cambridge should be appoint ed Commander in Chief; and that hi grace whs about to return to England, where a house was preparing for his fu lure lesidence. The n Chancellor udhnrst, is said to be extremely pop ul u with all pirtie-; and his removal is mentioned aa having been determined on. Sir Clmles Wethcrall is f-ro km of as hi? in'emled surrerr. It is d-o seated that Sir Inlin !!. kelt U to iv. i. Hie ;,pt-ointment of Speaker . the 1 1 of (nini and that Mr B. oughim is to s'liTfi d Sir Jolm Leach a Mr.t-rof the UolN. The Duke of llington'. ir tended i?it lo the sever al Continental Courts, is again re-as serted in the Iondcn journals; but the time fixed for his departure is not men tioned. With regard to the operations of the contending armies on the Turk ish frontiers, we have little or noaddi tional intelligence. Advices from Cou stantinople state that Persia was about to make common cause w ith the Sultan; and that the Russian General Pakewitch, having received large reinforce ments, wn about ti advance upon ErZ rum. The Turkish fleet, which had entered the Black Sea, is said to have hastened back to the Bosphorus, on learning that the Russian squadron had sailed io quest of it. Some further acrounts are given of the action which tok place near Pravade earlv in M av. in hich it appeal s that the Turks were the assailants, and wrre repabed afler sanguinary co te-.ia whirhthev are said to hav.- lost COOO men, lefi on the fi dd of battle. The Ru'ana on then put acknowledge the loss of 1000 in k Ib d aufl wourided. It i said thnt al' he money which the Emperor hud hi r l owed in order to enable him to cany on Mc war, wh3 spent; at.d that he hud opened nego'i tior for a new loruhoth with England nnd France, supposed to le for e lugrsuin than that of last ear. The iiegociations for peace. i der the mediation of Great Britair. ir s;id thae hern lenev.rd at Cono'.ai linople, with some prc.-pect of euccess. The Greeks have been remarkably ;uccesful, of late, in U eir contest wit! the Tutks, and instead of being hunted out like wild beasts upnn 1e me-untaine. have actually ussumid the otTe. ive. According to accounts from different places, they have, since the opening ef the prefent campaign, taken poe?on of S ilona, Eibadi a, Vuiiitza, the Paof I hcrmopy lie, Lenanto, the Cil oft Roumelia, and fir-famed MiHrcnTiie occupation of fej,,-4 fortri'Ssr the More by the French, leaves tl i firecks quite at liberty to por-ue theii ope'Utii ns le.where; and the prprtnt situation of the Sultan in regard to Ruia, rend t him unaMe to end any oniJeraM force to oppose thir pro gres.

Duff. Impossible; Mr. Van Buren, irnpootibh sir, I am not lo be changed. the PrttiHent is not to be changed, or if be 6hould be, he must t;ke the conseijuencr s. I will put him out, as I put him i'm. V. B aiide, (Insolent puppy!) I am hilly apprscd G- neral, of the vast in fluence of your Pres in bringing about the late hippy revolution, of the fa tal o.neqiences of ha abandoning the support of the Administration. It is for that reasor, and h -caue I know co well the tlatteriig deferenre who hour He ro pays to tour ad we, that I am so desirous of ctli'lieg jcu in aid my oJHdins. Cotil I we puni-n our enemies witlieafety lo ourselves, I should be the last man t.t stop the aiiii . puscnption. I ,im used to p? hti d in iifice; I have often sacrificed n f unds tq my advancement, and if I would now .-p.re the common enemv. it is fi the same motive. I much fear Gen. Green, that you are orging things 'm far and fas. I am afraid sir, of a reaction. The A nericans arc a generous people, and will re alt at the slaughter of the gairi son after the citadel has capi'ul.ited. Letters of remonstrai-ce are teaching me from all tpjaiters. The public print? are in arms, and our friends put on the defensive. Our friend Ritchie, in thu letter gives sac Counsel Duff. A fig f i Ritchie -he is a pi geot.

Cln' iricnd, very numerous in several D stiictsof the low country, ptepondf rating, above, ar making sirong impression by contrasting the indii live measures (as they call them) "f the Administration, rvith the acknowl dged magnanimity and generosity of his clnracter, and ot the late Adminiaira it u towards its enemies in office. 1 cannot ansicer for the Old Dominion if proscnptioH is nut suspended. I learn privately thai makes no secret of bis disgust to it, and it may irove a fortunate thing that he is not in the next Congress. The neutrals in he late contest are turning against us. The Coalition party in this State, pow. erful in talent and character", keep united, and every man lost to us, is a gain to Clay. God forbid that my presentiments come true But I fear my dear Van Buren, that Clay's popularity is returning with an overwhelming reflux. I hate that eloquent, patriotic, generous, splendid, perhaps I hate him beause I have injured him. Have you any experience to that effect? But like Dr. Fell's rhy mester, I hate him. And yet, my dear Van Burco, I moy be so circumstanced, as to be under the necessity of supporting him for the Presidency there moy be a majority for him, my dear Van Buren. But never until the last necessity comes, will I give up the dear hope of seeing you ucceed our noble Tennessee Farmer. I)ufT is actually said to have used this declaration in a conversation with the Collector of a certain port, not a thousand miles from Washington, who had so little 6elf respect as to intercede with him to save him (the Collector) from prescription.

Mr. Clay shall be kept down, if the Richmond Enquirer has any influence, and if there be any virtue in Mr. Walsh's wit of the table Orator,1 (very good isn't it?) which I am determined frequently to repeat. But to return to the subject of proscription. Let it be suspended if possible. It is ruinous policy depend upon it. If it cannot be suspended if our friends have made promises of ofike to useful persons in the late struggle, which cannot be redeemed but by turning out incumbents, let rne advise that it be carried on more slowly ; let one at a time be sacrificed. The public mind, after a certain time, gets tired of any subject, and in this way proscription will after a season, lose its interest, and you may then proceed with safety, to execute vengeance, and distribute ic waids. I recommend it to Gen. Green (to whom I request you to show thia) to a( company the uoticc of each removal, with an insinuation, that there was something "rotten in Denmark," which occasioned it; as, for example, "that the President did not act without consideration and motive," or "icAm the public come to learn the reason of the removal, Gen. Jackson will receive the applause of the people." Observation, such as these, go a great ways. There is a proneness in human nature, to think evil and to put the worst constructions. Insinuations of this nature induce the persuasion that the person removed has, played the rouc, and thus the Government 19 justified. Dr. Watkins1 case has been of the last service to us, and Ken1 dl is entitled to the thanks of the Re

publican party, for making the most of it. Without that case to point to, and to use as an argument for justifying other removals, I know not what we should have done. ' Ex use this hasty outpouring, my d'.ai Van Buren, 8c believe. Faithfully yours T. R." Duff. Ha! ha! upoa my word, 1 greatly admire our friend's sagacity. You have read; Mr. Van Buren. Our friend at Richmond has pointed out the mode by which it cannot only be justified to the people, but made the source of increased popularity to the hero. Hem tetigf.t acu I have anticipated his advice, the best argument for continuing proscription. I haze insinuated it, all the officers were logues, ar.d that they were removed because they nere rogues. Our pensioned editors havenobly seconded me. Hill has put the New Hampshire Patriot upon the scent Kendall keeps up a hot fire in the Argus Carr, at Boltimore, roundly aserts, in the words of Kflerson, ''tantararara, rogues all" Noah at Nt w York, kill- the reputation of ihe remoied with a joke our sagacious fiiend ut Richmond, copies all he see into the Enquirer & in short, the whole pack is in full cry after the poor devils. What is the effect? The hero instead of being taxd with CTuelty, in turning so many necessitous, and really deserving men adrift, is admired by the ignorant much the largernutnber for the stern ness with which he regards corruption, aud punishes defaulters. His popularity has advanced 50 percent. V. B. Well Gen. Green, I wish you may prove right, but I cannot a grec with you. The people of this country, cannot be made to swallow the absurdity, that because Watkins was a defaulter, therefore Upham, and Melville, Glentwortb,nnd Cutt?,and Slade, and Chew, and Washington, and hundreds of others, long and well known to the nation, some of them Revolutionary officers,' the personal friends of Washington, Madison nnd Monroe, that these are defaulters too. That argues a grossness of perception, which even my "huzza boys" are above. But I find you impracticable, and I will urge my opinions no farther. Can I see the President to day X Duff You cannot sir. He has given orders to admit none but Kendall. Lec and myself. Good morning Mr. Van Buren I must see our new Treasurer a moment. Exit the General. V. B Good morning, General Green. (Souls.) A fine market I have brought my pigs to! Outvoted on all occasions, in the cabinet; viewed with coldness and distrust by the President; bearded by Ingham, twitted by the block head Branch the credit of my name employed to advance Calhoun's interest,and all nround me openly working to defeat my hopes compelled to pay deference to tho desperate crew ofl IT III It'll - a I jvenaaus, inns anu ureens, who command the President's car, and distil into it poison against me and my views: my situation is one of trying embarrassment. If I retire, I incur the immedi ate denunciation of the Jackson party, and these scorpins instantly turn their stings upon me; if I remain, my credit with the nation will be turned against me, and I made to labor for the advancement of my rival!
