post on the road at Eski Stamboul.
The hidleiiti of the 7th says, that although the
entrenchments are within reach of the Tin lush can

they have not as much spirit as in former times.
The garrison of Varna has made several strong
lint unsuccessful sallies ; and Gen. Ruchtelen has
established his position, and is joined by I.ieut. Ucn.
Anchacoff. The bulletin of the Oth says Prince

states that Ibrahim lias received supplies from Al

press and types have been sent from France to print
the Courier d'Orient, which will be edited by Col.

From the Baltimore Patriot.
MR. SPEAKER STEVENSON—This gentle
man i- destined to cut an enviable figure among the
Kretners and other prominent Jacksonites of the
Ho has of late been dealing out, with no
day.
.sparing hand, the exploded charge of " bargain"
between Mr. Adams and Mr.Clay, although he had
often declared his entire disbelief of the story some
time after the election by the House. The follow
ing letter trom Mr. Sloane, a member of Congress
from Ohio, elucidates Mr. Stevenson's horror ot
bargains, and tiirni-hes another evidence of the
fact, that whatever bargains and propositions, in
trigue and management, there may have been in
Congress or out of it, was confined to the Jackson
party exclusively.—As to Mr. Stevenson, if he real
ly believed in the ei islcnce of corruption, it is clear
that he intended to have his share ot the advan
tage ot it.—Mr. Sloan's character for veracity,
stands as high as does that of Mr Stevenson, or
any other gentleman on the floor of Congress, and
-therefore the most implicit confidence may he pla
ced in his statement, which is as follows, address
ed to the Editors ot the Richmond Whig.—
Wooster, Uhio, Ang. 28th, 1828.
Dr. Sir, I have just read the letter of the lion.
Andrew Stevenson, giving the reasons which indu
ced him to oppose! the present Administration, and
advocate the election of General Jackson.—it is
not my intention at present, to animadvert upon that
letter", although l consider it extremely vulnerable:
my object is to put the public in possession of a
fact which may tend to elucidate the origin of Mr.
Stevenson's opposition to the Administration of Mr.
Adams. During the last Presidential canvass, Mr.
1
Stevenson was vehement in his opposition to Gene
ral Jackson and, as was understood, on account of
certain conduct, and alleged traits of character,
which subsequent investigation has undeniably
tablished. Previous to the first session ol'Congress
after Mr. Adams' election, it was known, that of
the four gentlemen who were candidates, Mr. Stev
enson preferred Mr. Adams next to Mr. Crawford,
who was his favorite.
o—
A few days after the elec
tion ol President hy the House of Representatives,
in February, 1825, 1 was approached by Mr. Stev
son in the House of Representatives, when he
pro
cecded to make certain enquiries, and observations,,
relative to the election of Speaker at the ensuing!
session He observed, that he had been informed,
that'it "was the*intention of the friends of Mr. Clay,
to vote for Mr. M'Lane of Delaware, and express
io voie lui i
ee,
son

"
I . e i l I,,,
Lku me Speaker and
G — d I'll sustain the Administration. I
This observation of Mr. Stevenson, made a deep im- j c
pression on my mind : not that i lull any particu-,
lar interest in the course which Mr. Stevenson
might think proper to pursue, but from the nature j
of the proposition itself, and the manner ot making
it. At that time Iliad no intimation that Mr. Ste
venson had any idea of joining in the support of
Gen. Jackson. I mentioned the subject of our con
versation, and related all the particulars to my friend
Mr. Whittlesy, immediately alter the adjournment
.of the House. As Mr. Stevenson has thought pro
per to denounce the measures of the present Admin*
istration, in broad and general terms, I think it but |
just, that the public should know, that there mix a
time , long after l\Ir. Mams had in his inaugural
address developed the policy he intended to pursue,
when Mr. Stevenson did not consider the Adminis
tration unworthy of support.
You will please insert this in your paper.

a man of Mr. M'Lane's politics. I answered his

same subject.
" At the commencement of the session of Con

Fi.oun—.The recent information touching the crops
in England, has had a tendency to reduce the price
of flour in this market to Sfifl 25 a $(i 75. The re
sults of our own harvests render it probable, that no
further reduction will take place immediately.
In New York, flour is quoted at S-> fi2 a 7, hold
ers are firm in anticipation of a short crop in the
country. Western wheat and corn it t 50.
From Maryland, we learn that flour is held gti,
and is still advancing.
In Baltimore on Saturday, flour was S5 75 a 6,
from the wagons, and SA a G 25 from stores. It
comes-in slowly from the country, not faster than to
supply ordinary demaluls. The last week 11,587
bbls. and 596'half bids, were inspected. White
wheat is qmiteil at g 1 25 a 1 80 ; Red wheat 112.

MAGNITUDE OF THE STAKE. I
From the Albany Chronicle.. ?
The great question of the protection of Ameri- I
can Industry and American prosperity is staked I
upon the contest. Already lias the New-York I
Evening Post, one of the must able as well as one of j
the moat devoted of the Combination prints, pro- f
claimed; "that Gen. Jackson is lo he supported j
on account of his HOSTILITY TO THE AMERI- I
CAN SYSTEM :
and the affiliated presses not
only in the city of New-York, but throughout the
Union, either honestly speak the same undisguised
language, ur they conceal and cloak their actual hos
tility to that system under a (logged and ominous
-ilence. There is not one of Hum of any note or
influence from Georgia to Maine, that vpenly and
actively advocates and supports that system. This
tact, with the open opposition to the Tariff of the
Jacksonians at the South, and the actual though
nlten silent, hostility of nine-tenths of the Jackso
oiaiis at the North, leave not a doubt upon the sub
ject. II the Combination triumph, the American
-ysteni is sacrificed ; the interests and the prosper!*
ly ut die farmer and the manufacturer are prostra
ted ; anil the real independence of the people of the
United States is put into the power and entrusted
to the mercy ami loving kindness of our ancient
enemy ami tyrant England—made to depend on the
legislation of a British Parliament, and held at the
rapt ice or made subservient to the interests of the
man:.factum's of Birmingham and Manchester. It
is evident therefore that no Hue friend to the real
interests of his country, in this state, can lack mo
tives, anil powerful ones, to exert himself for Uie
success nl the cause in which he is engaged.
Curious Ancient Manuscripts.
jun. who
having in.spei ted a valuable c ollection of ancient
manuscripts in the. possession of M. ballier, an in
habitant of Aix, has discovered two rolls of papyrus
M. Champollion,
about to embark at Marseilles for Egypt,
\
'
two papyrus
relating " The History anil wars of the Reign of
•Sesostris the great." These manuscripts are dated
the ninth year of that Monarch's reign. Sesostris
Rliaini'S or the Great, according to the calculations j
ol the German chronologies, lived in the time of
Aloses, anil wn« the sun. as is supposed, of the i'ha
roah, who perished in the Red Sea, while pursuing
the Israelii»,.
This reiiiiiUiille ihictirnenl, which, altera lapse
of more than time thousand years, M. Uhnmpollion
miracle, may contain details
the interest ot winch will be. readily imagined, on
some of the grandest incidents of Sacred History.
On the 2d inst. the Academical Society of Aix re
ceived the report of 5k Rallier relative to this dis
covery. A third roll lias also been found, treating
either on astronomy or astrology,but more probably
on both these sciences combined. It has not yet
been opened ; hut it is hoped that it will throw
some additional light upon the conceptions of the
heavenly system entertained by the Egyptians and
Chaldeans, the first people who devoted themselves
to that study .—Paris i'aper.
A SIGN IN BERKS COUNTY PENN.
We are authorised to state that Peter Adams, Esq.
of Berks county, one of the Jackson electors for
Pennsylvania in 1824,feeling as an A mericun ought
to feel, has abandoned the cause of the " Tennessee
Farmer" alias the " Military Chieftain" alias " the
Anti-tariff candidate" and now is otic of the most
efficient promoters of the election of Mr. Adams and
Mr- Rush.
Among the numerous instances with which we are
daily favored, in A irginiu, of the abandonment of
Jackson, in support of the principles oi the present
wise and able Administration, it gives us great
pleasure to place the name of Joshua (Jsburn, Esq.
a worthy and intelligent representative in the State
Senate. At the last election, Mr. O. was the Jack
son candidate for Elector in this District. Sat
isfied with the measures of Government, he sees
no reason for withholding liis support, and accords
it from a sense of duty to his country. ^
