From the Greensboro (Tenn.) Journal. The great advantages which would result to the United States as a nation, and to an imrfiense majority of the people as individuals, from Internal Improvements, are too obvious to be denied. They are accordingly admitted by all, whether advocates or opponents of-the system of Internal Improvement by the General Government. But a variety of opinions are professed in relation -to the extent of the Constitutional powers of that Government. While a vast majority,of the American People believe that, the united States, for the purposes bf military operations, transporting the mail, facilitating internal commerce amongst the States, and removing, the obstructions which nature has interposed to the union and prosperity of the different sections of the country, are authorized to make roads and canals, and to open and improve the navigation of \ rivers—a small minority insists that no such power exists to any extent, except qn tide water. Others assert that the power exists within certain limitations, as to the extent of wftteh they cannot agree. Both these latter description of persons insist that an amendment of tlie Constitution is either necessary or highly expedient. An amendment of the Constitution cannot be effected, without the assent of three-fourths of the States. Why then do not the States opposed to the power of Congress, propose and adopt such an amendment as will give them power necessary to the welfare bf the country, accompanied by such limitations and restrictions as will prevent the evils they apprehend? Do they think it the duty of two-thirds of the people, out of complaisance to their opinions, to propose an amendment, giving to Congress powers with which they believe themmlready invested, in order that such an amenqjpent qiav bo defeated by the refusal of oda-liird to adept it? Or is it not more reasonable that the minority should come forward with their offer of compromise, Which, if accepted, would terminate the oontest, and' secure the attainment of an object confessedly of incalculable importance to the welfare and prosperity of the country ? Surely the latter must be the correct course, unless indeed the modern disthat the minority have the right to govern, be the true and genuine republican doctrine. That internal improvements arc essential to the welfare and prosperity of the country is undeniable. That these improvements, to the extent required by the public .interest, never can and never will be made by the States, is obvious to every man who will reflect a moment on the subject. There are but two possible alternatives. The improvements must be made by the General Government, or the nation must do Without them. Which of< these alternative!!'* they prefer is the true question which the American People are now called up--n t • decide.

From the Illinois Gazette. DUTY ON SALT. The Indianapolis Democrat, a paper published in the state of Indiana, contains an article under this head. To every cousumer of a pound of salt, &c. it recommends the perusal of Senator Benton’s speech on the reduction of the duty on Salt, and further expresses a decided hostility to the continuance of that and other tariffs. Well may We exclaim ‘et tu Brute.' We did not think that any intelligent man in the West, and more especially the editor of a public journal, who has or ought to have; open to him the sources of information, would hold such language or harbor such principles. The speech, so strongly to be recommended to be read, goes the whole Tor a total repeal of the salt duty.—for the destruction of all the domestic manufactures of that article—and a perfect dependence on the generous and liberal policy of foreigners. In return for all this, a reduction of the price of salt is promised to the beef growers of Missouri! Yet the Democrat, ‘anxious for a change’ recommends to the unsuspecting farmers of the West this species of heterodoxy. It would have them, like the dog in the fable, to relinquish tho good in hand, for the purpose of grasping at the magnified shadow of it. The state of Indiana possesses resources for the manufacture of salt, more than adequate to supply its consumption. A few years of steady encouragement to such investments would render her independent, as to this necessary article. When it is too Ja(e, these facts will be understood and appreciated. When, as at the time of the last war, our farmers of the west will have to salt, they will have cuuso to lament their easy compliance with the reasonings intended for the destruction pfdomestic manufactures.

I The division of labor has ever been deemjcd essential to national prosperity. No for- ’ eign trade, however prosperompbaa supply j the deficiency of a home market to our ferI mors. That policy which has a tendency to diminish the number of artificers and 'manufacturers, thereby diminishing the homo market, the best of all maikels for the t rade produce of the soil, ‘will, (says a wrijter on political economy) be discouraging | thativgry species of industry it was intended j to promote.’ Admitting that a farmer could purchase Ills salt a few cents in the year cheaper, *f the duty were taken off, he would still be a great loser in the destruction of the home markots that would follow the overthrow of the salt manufactories.—But the former will not even receive this premium, and will evidently lose to a very serious extent, a home market tor his produce, should the salt duty be repealed, and our manufactories putdown.

FOREIGN. Important from Europe* New York, Nov. 24. The ship Minerva, Capt. Hussey* arrived here last night from Liverpool, whence she sailid on the 24th ultimo, in company with the parket ship York. The latter ship, has the packages of papers tor the New York Editors; and as Capt. H. brought none, we are indebted to the. politeness of some of 1 the passengers, who have furnished a Lon- 1 don Morning Herald, Saturday, Oct. 23d, i and Cobbett’s Weekly Register of the same date. The intelligence contained in these papenyvears an important and ominous as- 1 pect-fipirticularly from France. The span- ; ish Refugees have made their first demon- 1 stration, and have been signally defeated. Disturbances have broken out in Kent. But we will treat of these masters separately and in' detail/ And first of France. —The tone of the various letters 1 and other ad vices from Paris* is not exactly the samg3; but there is a general agree mont ■ as to the prominent facts, which renders it very evident that the present government treads a volcano. The latest Paris date is October 22; but there is in fact no later news than down to the evening of the 21st. Cobbett’s Register of the 23d, contains in a poet- 1 script, the following extract from a letter written by his son, in Paris, on the 21st:— i “Lafayette has lost his popularity and influence with the National Guards, [fudge!] who have the charge of the prisoners. These guards are demanding their elections of their officers, and, preparatory to the great office, they will make sure of the right men. Last night, at the Palais Royal, after the King came from Versailles, the people sang theMarseilloise Hymn, and called fog the King, when he came to the balcony, they cried ‘A mortles minis tres? After that they went to another place, where there are 1 chairs, and some of the best singers got upion them. They sung the Marseiiloise, 1 with their hats off, about fifty times, and after every time, cried i Mort aux Mimstres,' 1 —‘‘La lete deyPofcgnac et de Peyronnel aussi ,’ and kept up the concert till a late hour, That is‘Death to the Ministers!’ ‘The head of Polignac and Peyronnet also!’ Upon this letter Cobbett himself remarks: “I have no doubt at all, that if the ? government do not change its course quicky, it will be tumbled down. It is clear that the lives of these vagabonds [the Ex-Minis-ters,] i not all. The people are disconten--1 ted with the whole things. They find that they have accomplished no real change. 1 The cry for the heads of the tyrants is, in feet, a cry tor a republic. This is a plain truth; and. we are convinced of it the better.”

The Chamber of Deputies, which adjourned to the 10th of November, is convoked for the 3d, by letters addressed to each of the members at his own house.' The number and urgency of the afiuU's with which they will be occupied, render it .desirable that the recess should be as short as possible. Os the 140 elections, 120 will take place on the 21st and 28th of October, they will thus be terminated by the 3d of November, and the greater part of the new members will have arrived by this time. FROK THE MONITEUR, Oct. 21. After the disturbances of Mtinday night, 150 individuals were arrested and conducted to the Perfecture of the Police. Fortyseven have already been before the Procureur of the King. The interrogatories are beingcompleted. Colombia. New York, Nov. 23. By the brig William, we have received a Maracaibo letter of October 18th, containing intelligence from Bogota to Septembfer 16th, We have also Bogota papers to the 12th inclusive. On the 4th September an arrangement was agreed on between the Commissioners of President Mosquera and those of Col. Pincres, commander of the Callen battalion, which entered the Capital as conquerors on the 28th of August, repealing the condition embraced in the Articles of Capitulation, Which required certain individuals to depart Carthagena within three days. The individuals referred to are as follows: Manuel Antonio and Jual Manual Arrublas, Francisco and Jose Manuel Montoya, Yincente and Juan Nepomuceno Azuero, Ignacio Marquez, Gen. Jose Maria Mantilla, Cols. Francisco Barrigi, and Jose Maria Gaitan, and Dr, Juan Vargas. As the case stands at present, they are permitted to continue in Bogota, enjoying all the securities belonging to other citizens, provided they remain quiet in their occupations, and obedient to the public authorities; without giv-

ing just occasion tovuspect them at meditating or fomenting aksaction.' it appears from tye documents before us, that after the capitulation spoken of above, cmrnsnt, which theft passed provistonally into the hands'of Geji*. Rafael Urclaneta. This fair to permit the title of the CylomhiahTalleyrand, was formerly a.staunch.friend and Minister of Bolivar, —afterwards a jealous 'co-operator in the bloodless revolution which elevated Mosquera to the Presidency,—and now again ho becomes the instrument bf inviting the Liberator to re-assiimc the Administration. The following is a communication Which he addressed to that distinguished individual under date of September 7th: To His Excellency the Liberator Simon Bolivar. —The Acts which I have the honor to send you, jand which you will receive by the hands of Col. Vjcente Gutierez Pincres and Julian Santamiria will apprise you of the wish entertained by this capital and the surrounding population, that you would again assume the destinies of the country, — which is your owncreatipn, and which time, and a very short time too, has proved cannot exist without you. Anarchy, discord, and the most horrid crimes, have overwhelmed it during your separation from its control, and all reflecting persons who desire the felicity of Colomb i, look upon ypu, sir, and you only, as the i idiv jdual destined by Providence to cure tl 3 diseases of the body politic, to regenerat< this heroic nation, to restore its glory a/rd honor, and to give energy and power til the springs of moral action, which are n w lamentably disordered. Hence it is, th t the grito [shout] raised in the Province o; Bogota, has been immediately seconded >y those of Tunja, Socorro, and Marquita, md probably will be, by all the rest. /

I feive been charged, sir, in your absence, with the Executive power, and with the honorable commission of forwarding to you the above mentioned Acts, and entreating that you will listen to the demands of your fel-low-citizens, and accept in behalf of Colombia, the government of the same. I fulfil this duty, sir, with the greatest pleasure; and uniting my individual voice with that of the people, beseech you that you will not abandon us in this important crisis, nor hesitate a moment in adopting the course which is required by the welfare of the nation, its glory and your own. The Commissioners will inform you of the important events which occasioned the revolution that has taken place in this capital, sis well as the desires of alt good men, those who seek the public welfare, who love order and the stability of the nation, that you will yield to their entreaties. Be pleased, sir, to grant them hearing, and to give entire credit to all they may say in our behalf, especially their assurance of our feithful friendship, and constant adhesion to your ( person, and our ardent wishes for your happiness. Accept, sir, the sentiments of respect and cordial'esteem with which I am, sir, your obedient servant, RAFAEL URDANETA. Bogota, Sept. 7, 1830. The Proclamation of Bolivar, dated Carthagena, Sept, 18, which we published on the Ist instant, does not appear to be in reply to the abcjve, though it leaves no room to doubt that he will return a favorable answer.—Jour sal of Commerce.

From Cobbett’s Weekly Register. TO TALLEYRAND PERIGORD Once a Priest, then a Bishop, then a Layman ; once a Republican Legislator, then a Citizen Minister under the Republic, then a Prime Minister under Napoleon, then under the Bourbons, Louis and Charles, and the White Flag; and now a Prince Envoy from the “Citizen King” of a “Sovereign People,” who hoist the Tricoloured Flag. Kensington, 28th Sept. 1830. Talleyrand, For I know not how toaddress you, whether as priest, bishop, layman, citizen, or prinee, and therefore I take the one and only name of which you have never divested yourself, and which will stick to you as long as you shall exist either in person or in memory. I know more about you, than most other men, even of your own country. My register contains a the most important acts of your life, and of those I shall remind the public as the occasions arise. This letter is introduced as a mere salutation to you on your arrival fron the Court of the “Citizen King.” Future letters will 1 express to you the opinions of the people of England, and particularly my opinions as to the conduct of the French Government. In the meanwhile, lie assured, Talleyrand, that we have not forgotten what you said and wrote about the death of the Emperor Paul, and about the employers of Drake and Smith; and above all things be assured, that we see clearly all that is intended by your mission; and (hat we sec through and through the loan mongers and stock jobbers of Paris; that we did not fail to sec, that- the Dukb ttf Ortegas, when he almost feinted upon receiving the crown, fell into the arms of a Banker; that we know all that ypu and your co-operators intend to accomplish; and that we know that you will fail in all your intentions. It is now about 34 years since I saw you at the house of Mr. Korean de St Mery, at Philadelphia. The “Citizen King” and his two brothers were in that city about the same time. Os them I lost sight till the “Citizen Bourbon” popped out, all at once, ► the-other day,Rs if he hod dropped from I the clouds! Ah Talleyrand! we see it all!] We see all about the old priest, cannon, bar-] ron Louis* and the tender hearted Monsieur

Lafitte, who mingled his tears of joy with those of the “Roi Citoven.” Madame de Pompadour said, we were muddy headed; and wje may be sometimes; but we are at any rate clear sighted with regard to this matter. We were partly blind till you were appointed to this court. Some of us thought it very strtinjje, that there should be a king ready to feke Charles’s, place; very strange that the chamber or part of a chamber, should, of their own authority, take upon them to make anew King without having themselves been convoked; very strange we thought, that the banker, Perier, should be chosen president of tfiS Chamber, and that he having vacated his seat, another banker, Lafitte, should be chosen in hjs place, by almost acclamation; very stmge we thought, all these things; very strgnge rhat Charles should have 140,000 francs paid him out of the sweat of France as a compensation for causing the people of Paris to be slaughtered; very strange we thot’ all these wings; they made us rub our eyes; we could hardly think that our sight was clear, but the moment we heard of your appointment the dimness was removed, and we saw all as clearly as tins sun at noonday! I leave you now, Talleyrand, till next week, to enjoy yourself with the employers of Drake and Smith; and perhaps to enjoy the company of these personages themselves, and, in the meanwhile, remain, with sentiments such as a man like me ought to entertain towards a man like you. WM. COBBETT.

Causes of Disease. —Nothing,says an eld writer, pesters the pody and mind sooner than to be still fed, to eat and ingurgitate beyond all measure, as many (J®. By overmuch eating and continual feasts they stifle nature, and choke up themselves; which had they lived coarsely, or, like galley slaves, been tied to an oar, might have been happily prolonged many fair years. To the same effect is the language of a celebrated Lando* lecturer. 1 tell yon honesrijusavs he* who t I think ra tha cause of the complicated maladies of the human race; it is their gormandizing, and staffing, and stimulating digestive organs to an ex cess; thereby producing nervous disorders and irritation. The state of their minds is another grand cause; fidgetting and discontenting yourslves about that which cannot be helped; passions, of all kinds— ms lignant passions, and worldly cares passing upon the mind, disturb the action of the brain, and de a great deal of harm. Proper words in proper places ~ —A farmer lately wrote to a committee of one of the Eastern Agricultural Societies thus: “Gentlemen, you will have the goodness to eater me on your list of cattle for a bull." 1 Lucus a non Inuendo. —Sir Peter Laurie , being asked at the city election by a learned common councilman, what was the meaning of the word candidate? said, “It is a man who hates to be candid .” Some mischievous wags, one night, pulled down a Turner’s sign and put it over a lawyer’s door; in the morning it read, all sorts of Turning and Twisting done here.

FISH STORIES. “A bold Floridian, who would have thought it a trifle to take an alligator, being out fishing recently, discovered a shoal porpoises, equipped himself with a harpoon, the line of which he fastened around his person. Presently a stout one came near, and he “let drive”—the porpoise darted off like a shot, whirling the poor harpooner through the waves, and he was only, saved by the rope breaking. He should read “The Pilot,” aud take a few ideas from Long Tom Coffin.” The above remindes us of the exploits of two of our acquaintances in Savanah river: One of them was a great trout catcher, generally sitting and fishing on a rock in the river with half a dozes rods at a time. One day be fastened his handline (a large strong line, whose hook is thrown off 30 or 40 yards in the river,) to his leg finding the multiplicity of his tackle inconvenient to manage. A large catfish, weighing 48 pounds, seized the bait, and before our fisheman was well aware of the fact, he was posting down the river faster than a tow-boat astern of a steamer Luckily the cat-fish, as much alarmed as its follower, did not keep the deep channel, but attempted to pass a sandbar,, which nearly crossed the stream. Here our almost breathless acquaintance caught hold of something which brought the fish to a sudden halt, and the fisherman was enabled to avenge himself for his temporary discomfiture.—The other case occurred only a few miles above this city. The sturgeon in the heat of summer is very slugish, and will lie panting like a hog io the coolest parts of the stream, regardless almost of the approach of danger. Our friend found one of these animals 7* feet long in a shallow part of the river, and being “much of a mail,” thought he : could master him by jumping astride of j him, and at the same instant clapping his hands into hisgflls. He jnmped, and was successful in placing his Angers of both hands in the Ash's gills. Instantly the animal darted down the river like a racehorse, sometimes under the water, sometimes out. The rider could neither stop him. nor get his hands out of his gills, which clasped them like a vice. Fortunately the frightened animal, after a race of upwards of a~quarter of a mile, boltfd into one of our friend's own Ash traps, and there the spectators, who had pursued on the bank. Anally found him; swearing jp the taost positive manner it was the lost sturgeon he would ever ride/ Augusta Courier,

From the National Journal. Senatorial Sketches of the 21st CONGRESS. WILLIAM HENDRICKS, of Indiana. live in Congress frofn the State of Brit having been elected in December; 1814, in which month the State was admitted into tho Union. In December, 1822, Mr. Headricks resigned hia seat in the House of Representatives and was ttocceded by Jonathan Jennings. Mr, Hendricks was elected a member of she United States Senate, for the ’ term of six years, from the 4th of March. 1825. His present term of service will expire on the 3d of March, 1831, In attention to the interests of the State which he in part represents, in the Senate Mr. Hendricks stands, as far as l orn informed, by either report or observation, without impeachment. Easily accessible, he j g always ready to be the organ of communication between the people and the legislative branch to which he belongs, On all tfepse political questions whjch involve the gieat principles of a protective system and Internal Improvements, Mr. Hendricks lias voted with the friends of the late administration. But in reference to an executive' measure or during the last session, In is said to have been in opposition to the friends with whom he had previously acted. This circumstance appears to have an injurious effect on his present popularity, and has caused much speculation as to the probability of his re-election to the Senate. That he will continue to vote with the gentlemen who are in opposition to the present administration, there is no reason to doubt, the sentiment of his state being decidedly in harmony with the opinions of those who advocate the American system and Internal Improvement. Asa public speaker, Mr. Hendricks clear and intelligent. He appears to be indifferent to that reputation Which founded on parliamentary oratory, and to'limit his ambition to those labors which are productiv of practical utility. JAMES NOBLE, Os Indiana. Mr. Noble was elected a member of the United States Senate, in November, 1828, and has continued in that dignified and responsible situation to this day. His present term of service will expire on the 3d of March; 1833. This gedtlcman’s course is characterized by activity, application and a straight forward course which contrasts singularly e nough with the sinuous, mystified and intrie- , guing path which politicians too frequently delight to tread. Without splendid gifts, Mr. Noble has proved that the true value of intellect depends on its usefulness to univer sal, as well as individual man. Oh all occasions when Mr. Noble considers himself called on by the voice of public duty, or tl. ' desire of any of his constituent body, to en--1 ter the arena, lie renders a prompt obedience to the call, and evinces a ■ fortitude which enables him effectually to repel attack, and to sustain tho caftse in which ho embarks. There is a brasquerie about Mr* Noble’s style and manner of addressing himself to the distinguished body of which ho is a member, which, although it may bo displeasing to the fastidious taste, gives a peculiar pungency to the sentiments he utters, and enables him bv his home thrusts to confound the attempts of more subtle and scientific rhetoricians. The interests of hio State are secure in his hands; and his consistent and zealous attachment to those prin- • ciples on whieh the policy of the lastadininistration was founded, is evidence that his legislative course is promotive of his country’s welfare. Mr. Noble is well read in political history and is fully conversant with the legislative* history of the United States as well as that of those of other nations to which, in our legislative and judicial course, the institutions and decisions of our own country have had any reference, f ■- MR RANDOLPH.

The second is tbs .reply of Mr. Randolph, declining, on principle, ail govorment appointments, and closing with a declaration that nothing would induce him to accept the appointment, unless it were accompanied with permission to stay at St. Petersburg no longer than he should find it convenient; the other portions of time to be spent in the south bf Europe.
