The on of Tamerlane read, on the etc of a great battle, the chapter on victory twelve: times; and among the Ottomania number of officers are selected to recite ninety-two times a week the l-t chapter of the Alcoran. The dogma of fatality, which their religion leaches, is that which renders them so formidable in war. Mcimifou City Chronicle. INDIAN Ai'FAtRS. The great alarm lately created in the western part of Missouri, by a little rupture between the whites and Indians, appears to hay e subsided, without the teiious consequences at one time anticipated. The National Intelligencer says "The alarm on the Missouri frontier, concerning the Italians, is over. The unnecessary military force marched out on the occasiou has returned to camp, and the cloud of Militia has dispersed. The Governor himself has recalled his warlike orders, and it is acknowledged, on all hands, that they were from the beginning wholly uncalled for by the emergency. And it is somewhat curious to observe 1 how exactly we divined, when the news

first reached us, the true character of this afl'iaj, which was blazoned abroad as bloody "Indian Murders,'' and teriiblo "fndiarj Hostilities." Vesaid that, in all probability, and indeed partly from their own shewing, the blame lay on the tide cf the whiles. Now, look at llic accounts which we insetted today. Look, especially, at that w hich is taken f:cm the St. Louis Times, a new paper, believed to be friendly not only to the National but also to the State Administration. What says tins' print? The whites, as 4,an aru.ed force," found the Indians had moved out of their n aj , and thin fulLzccd than, and demanded ilitfulion (for alleged wrongs.) 1 e) their aiims: an d, to save their lives, winch were next endangered, the Indian?, who were thus required (and partly obeyed) to sacrifice one thing after another, at last stood on the defensive. They did not even then fire, if the reader will bear in mind the first account of the affair, hut virc Jircd vpun by the whites, and the survivors oi ly saved their own lives at the sacrifice of a dozen ol their number. In this aiTair, as we row have it upon authority, who irrrc the ur;rct?vrs i 11 ho arc rudty of the Hood hut :;? shed? We are almost ashamed to meet the question.

FALL OF S1L1STRIA, Intelligence of the capture of Silistria was transmitted by telegraph from Strashoirg to Paris on Friday night. The Aegsburgh Gazette, which reached m v:sterday, contains- the following Bulletii, dated Bucharest, July 2, received y express: 4kAt this moment a courier, sent oft from Silistria by Lieut. Geueral Krassowsky, has arrived with the inlelligcncc cf that place having fallen under the victorious attacks of tho Russians. "The Turkish garrison, who after an obstinate resistance bad been reduced to the last extremity, have surrendered themsclvc prisoners of war. i he gar rison consisted of 10,000 men, exclu sive of the n-.habitanls. In this number arc I lady Acbmct and Sert Mahomoud, both three-tailed Pachas, and many olh cr officers. The trophies of this victo ry arc 250 pieces of cannon, two horse tails, upwards of 100 stand of colors the flotilla of the Danube, and a grea quantity of ammunition and provisions." 1 he Berlin Stale Gazette gives the fol lowing version of this event: "The garrison consisting cf C000 men, and the inhabitants in arms, to the number of 10,000, are made prisoners of war The Grand Vizier io closely blockaded at Uioumla by lien. Uicbitsch. A let tcr o( the 1 1th inst. from Vicuna, says upon the same subject: w 4I hasten to inform you that we have just received advices of the capture o Silistria, which surrendered by capitu larion to the Russian army on the 301 of June. The surrendered" this fortress is an event of high inVrtance, as i will bxatcn, and render almost cerlaiu

the fall of Giurgevo and RouUhouk. Thus, with the exception of Widdin, against which undoubtedly frcbh efforts will be successfully directed, the whole line of the Danube is secured to the Russians as the basis of their future op ciations, and the war will, as it were, cease to have Bulgaria for its theatre. If it be continued then it will be carried into the heart of the Empire in Ilemciia. Choumla is not the only passage across the Balkin open to the Uussians." The Augsburgh Gazette contains the following intelligence, dated Conatan tinople, June 22: "The British and French Ambassadors have not yet had an ofiicial interview w ith the Beis Effendi, but have endeavored to have a confidential understanding with bim upon the object of their mission. It) this manner they have leaned that the Porte will not ncgociate upon the bases of the Protocol eigoed at London, and especially upon the article which requires the extension of the frontiers of Greece fiom the Gulf of Volo to that if Arta: so that they already foresee great difficulties in the way of execut ing their mission. The Grand Vizier is collecting all the troops be can at Choom'n and hopes to be able to assemble '10.000 men without weakening the garrison. All the men able to bear artrib have departed for the Balkan, the Turks admit that the number of men and the artillery lost by them in the bat tie of the 11th was veiy considerable.) Some persons still flatter themselves with the hope of peace, and speak of agents having been ient to the Russian ;anp.

Voca. The National Journal of the 22nd ult. contains a cauiinunication aiMrcs.TC.I h) John Jnckson. to tb: President of tho t'i:iitxi 5 lire H'n lriv.1 upvcr nt tr en nnv , . ' ' tnmg et n similar cnaracter. mat coaiu ne ermp uc l v.ith it for severity. It he it collected, that not long sip.ee, we an uounced the appointment cf John Jaekon. oi .North (.'ar ohn?, to be Consul cf the U" tilted Mate-; fur the Island ot Maitinioaie . On the day after that appointment was made, the President revoked it, and called back the coirni--n:i . One reason we h.'u e sren gien for this sudden change of mind, h, that it u ;is s'uppoi-od at the time of the appointment that Mr. Jackson had of course been a pelilical friend which was not the fact. I5ut as that fact was known to the many honorable gentlemen w ho recommended him, and knew his political sentiment?, it is more likely that the President was influenced by his special adiser,f. some of whom were warmly opposed to Mr. Jackson. We make a few extracts from Mr. Jack son's communication to the President "Allow me here to pause, and ask. eriously and anxiously, whether you, or their mighty highness, "the Central Committee," will the destinies of the American 1'cc-plc? Thatyou have acted in my case, as 1 Lave good reason to believe you have in others, agreeably to heir advice and dictation, is 1 think, in controvertible. I am told, by one who professes to be in the secret cf your Holy Inquisition, that, wh.cn your cmissa rics had disbuiihcr.ed their consciences to wit: by telling )ou that I had beer. an opponent that 1 had written and irculatcd political matter, Sec. &.c. that you rose in all your majesty, look ing them sternly in the face, and in an1 austere manner asked, il they, of their own knowledge, knew what they rela ted to be true; and that they answered in the affirmative. In doing to, they told that which was fiLc" "Men of superior talents, exalted vir lues, able, faithful, and efficient in the discharge of their public duties many of them sages and patriots of the Revoution of whom you were meanly iral ous.you have removed from oflice,tothe great injury of the country, whose only crime, if such by any abuse of language, itcan becalled,WHs inopposing your ele cvation to the presidency, for which the) conscientiously believed you unfit, and conseuucntly,in opposing you, discharg mg an imperious uuiy uicy did what . . ... . they had an unqualified Constitutional right to do; and you, in punishing them lor 11, nave violated the spirit of our institutions, arid outraged the trust con fided lo you, under your hypocritical masli ol relorm not content with depriving those removed, and their large and helpless families, of bread, but in sidious hints and innuendos are thrown out, calculated to blast their reputation. As an excuse for your outrageous ach1, in order to lull the people into a state f security, that opinion may be suspended till from lapse of time the) shall he forgotten, it is said that all that is done, is done for their good. But, sir, the veil is in part raised, and will ere long he torn off; when you will stand exposed in all your naked deform ity. You, sir, arc a living proof, that a-

midst a combination of fortuitous cir. cumstances political success ha9 been gained, and not by means of virtues, ta-' lents and qualifications, lefittirg the oflice. No sooner is a patriot turned out cf office to make room for brawling idtla. tors, than the whole pack of your pliatit tools let fly their anathemas to give him the finishing stroke. The cries of iu

jurcd innocence, wives, w idows, and or phans, are reverberated throughout the land. A tyrant rules, and a ration mourns." "If those who now profess to be your friends, who have bartered away their consciences for office and treasury pap, your Bentons, Ritcbies, Noahs, and others who once denounced you, be gcod authority, you were the last man in the United States that should have been placed where you are; for to them I was indebted for most of my unfavorableimpressioii3 towards you, until I had demonstrative proofs ol the bad qualities ofyour bead and heart. Your professing friends concede that you have been no better than you should he, to say the least, but contend that you have been converted, and, like your brother Amos, heaven-horn. I must confess I was startled when 1 heard these things, and began to cast about me for the evidences; but, alas! like an lgnus fatuus, they eluded my grasp." We see by the Kentucky papers, that Amos Kendall, the new ly appointed Fourth. Auditcr, is now on a visit to that State. Row the times have changed! Only about one )v.r ago, the Kentucky Argus, edited by this same Amos Kendall, was the loudest among the revikrs of Henry Clay, because he, after a cloe confinement to his arduous duties forome years, should dare lo visit, while he held a national ofhee, the land of his early adoption. We thir.k aswe then did, that it 13 no sin in a public ciTu-t r to vi?it, for short periods at a time, the home he feels attached to; but v.e coubi hardly have expected of Mr. Kendall, so early a proof ef his dishonesty ia abusing Mr. Clay for what he himself is now practicing. The crumple of the present Cabinet would justify Mr. Kendall's vi.-it, but how he. who appealed so solemnly to heaven for proof that oil his cpposilioa to Mr. Clay was founded on principle alone, can so soon conict himself cf falsehood, would really surprise us, if we had not met with the following sentence, taken from under the F.i'itorial head of one of the most respectable papers iu Ken. tucky. As a preface to that extract, we must observe, however, that Mr. Kendall has lain under the charge ef falsehood, fiver since his examination before the Senate of Kentucky, and always evaded the accusation by great pre tensions to huii(tv, morality, virtue, &-c. and frequent solemn appeals to heaven . For the latter he has now acquired the honorable distinction of 'heaven bom." but how he will sustain the otllcr properties ascribed to hin:self, re mir.s t be seen. If he fails to meet the charge we here copy, it must be conceded that hi p etciiiiuir to ood::c:s are sircrjer than his rir V. The Kentuckv Sentinel, of Aecust 22. says kln the Kentucky Reporter, of the lLMh inst. we observe under the Editorial I head, the following sentence 4Tid he not upon that occasion pretend that he hnd destroyed the letters of Mr. Clay, that he might with more security make insinuations against him: Did he not contradict himself bcfjic the Senate? And was he not publicly chared w ith pe ljury in giving his testimony, from which he has totally failed to vindicate himsell . tt c noiv repeat dc charg-c, and deliberately allege, that in testilying m thatinstar.ee he was guilty of rtr.jeav, and if he will institute un action against us we pledge curiclvci to sustain the charge."
