It is said that very serious affairs are under consideration. The Ministers of the Porte being infused of the motives which have compelled the Viceroy of.Ej'yptto affree to the convention relative to the Morea, appear, if they do not give it their approbation, at least not to impute it as crime to Mahomet Ali ; but it appears that all possible measures are adopted to remedy the evil caused by their speculations and it is intended to substitute as speedily as possible, other Ottoman troops for the Egyptians, who are tobe em barked.

Hamilton's statement. *• l recollect distinctly, that either at the first or second meeting which took place at General Hayne's lodgings, someone present observed, that a perse verance in the tariff policy, or prohibitory system, mu-t lead to a dissolution of the Union—greatly to itli universal b<* cleprecateti. »Inch ! believe met I asst*itr. This however led to a long and ardent coil ' ve| 'sation on the resources of the Slate to sustain j hersell. in which I substantially made the remarks which Mr. itchell has attributed to Geo.

But that these remarks were intended either to urge the necessity, or even to countenance the propriety, of a separation of the S ate-*. I positively deny.') COL DRAYTON'S STATEMENT. I make this statement, in consequence of having been requested by Gen. Hayne and Major Hamilton, to put in writing what was said or acquiesced in bv them, and myself, at two meetings of the Déléga tion of South Carolina, held at the lodgings of Gen - era ] Hayne, in the city of Washington, shortly af passage of the fate Tariff Act. . ,; ^ i , At these meetings the object of both «ff wh'ch was to consult as to tbe course which ought to he pursued by the Delegation of South Carolina, in con-equence of the passing of the Tariff Law refer r( >d f,,. p 0 propositions were directly or indirect! V submitted, excepting the following, which were ac qule.c.,1 *.„ XI», when the Delegates went home, they should, by letter, communicate to each other the feelings and sentiments of the people within tlieir Di-tricts, upon the subject of the Tariff; that the Delegates should make no attempt to increase the excitement, which it was anticipated the provisions of the law would oc casion ; and that they should endeavour to prevent public m-etings, and every expression of public opinion connected with the Tariff, until after the re sult of the Presidential election should be ascertain ed, it being declared, and apparently with the con currence of all who were present, that the election of Mr. Adams or of General Jackson, was a matter of little importanco compared with the existence or abolition of the restrictive system, 2d, That the Delegates should assemble at Columbia, at the com ft ; I ; ' j the 15U the mencementof the session of the legislature, not to H obtrude their advice upon it, but to give any infur ma tion respecting the l'arift', or any other Congres- IN proceedings which the members of that bodv l il P 0 , Tint as w |,./ Hi mi o nt see lit to K • .

M«. ■ j or Hamilton, after expressing great indignation at I t |, e passage of the Tariff Law, said, that in his opin- ■ t lie pro per Step for him to take, and he had re- I ,/ T, .. 1 , , ' ■ solved to take it, was to go home, as he could no ■ longer be of any service at Washington, to deliver I | lis comm j ss i on to the Speaker of the House of R e .

I ■ remarked, that I did not agree with . ajor Hamilton: I that a representative had no other power than to re- ■ present his constituents in the Federal Congress : I that he had no right to abandon his post ; and that I \\ t»»e people felt themselves aggrieved, it was tor I them to decide upon what the emergency required. I Gen. Hayne said, that he concurred with me, and I made some observations enforcing Ills opinion, which I I do not retain in my memory. There was a con- I ,• , , .1 m I versahon at one ot the mnetmgs, as to the effects I which would be produced by the dissolution ol the I Union. Upon the topic, I do not recollect that Gen. I Hayne Uttered a word.—Major Hamilton remarked, ■ that should South Carolina be driven from the Union I bv the restrictive policy, it would not be in the puw- I - ,, „ 1 . r .. >. ■ er ^ ie Government to etlfoice It; t lat the regular I army was too small to create any apprehensnmg ; ■ that our sister states ot Virginia anu .North Laruli- I na W uuld never suffer the Eastern or Northern mill- I ; t Blarch throu „ h their ten itories, for the nur- I f , • S " uth Caro l ina to subjection- and I PP se 01 retiucing oouin Garoniiu to suu|ceuon, anu | if they (ltd. we should be able, success! uly, to tie- I fend ourselves, home observations were then made I upon Major Hamilton's remarks, by one of the Del- I egation, but not by General Hayne. I stated, that I I regarded the Union to be of (immense importance ; I that much as I denrecated the restrictive system • I mai muen a» * aeprecatea ttie restrictive »ystein j | partial, oppressive and unconstitutional as 1 conceiv- ■ e d it to be, I should yet consider the dissolution of I die Union as a more serious calamity; and that I when two evils were presented to us, as statesmen I "J an< ). as citizens, we ought to choose the least of them, Before the separation of the Delegates, the mein id I ua | s who bail been deputed to communicate with the I Representatives of the Anti-Tariff States, reported, I that many of their Representatives had acquiesced in I the propriety of our course, but that many others thought it to be inexpedient, none of them therefore | | m( | been invited to a conference with out Del éga tiun. We then adjourned, finally, it having been previously declared that the agreement which had ol been entered into to assemble at Columbia at the. As commencement of the next session of our Legisla tore, should not be binding upon us, but should be a subject for further consideration, tobe decided up un alter we had returned to our Ivotnes.—The fore going, to the best of my memory, contains the sub stance of all that was said by General Hayne, Ma or jor Hamilton and tnyself, at these meetings, which were not conducted according to the forms of a de liberative body, it sometimes occurring, that whilst one was speaking, others were carrying on conver to sa tions together, lam positive, that nothing more was either proposed, or agreed to be done by our delegation at these meetings, than what I have men tioned. I do not introduce the remarks of any of the Delegates, nut because 1 suppuse-that those who made them, would be averse to my doing so ; but because I should regard it as a breach of propriety and of implicit confidence, to publish what fell from them, without their authority. I i WM, DRAYTON. WM, DRAYTON. From the Marylander. Hj . " We know not what line of policy General Jack son will adopt. We take it fur granted, however, that he will reward his friends, and punish his enc- HI emies." The. United States Telegraph, of Monday, the S i instant, contains the above paragraph. From it we ^H understand, that the Editor expects that all now in office under Mr. Adams, who oppossed the election of General Jackson, are to be turned out, and their places to be supplied by parti zans of the General.^» Now, it so happens, that there are two sides to eve ry question, and tin the friends of Mr. Jidams , will HI have the majority in the Senate of the United States Hj after the fourth of March next, the nation naturally turns with an eye of great anxiety to that enlighten ed body, with the expectation that it will save the H country from those ills which now threaten it. Tbe ■' constitution of the United Stales has, very wisely, Hj given to the Senate co ordinate powers with those B possessed by the President in the appointment of B most of the important officers of Government, and, B therefore it is, that the nation looks with so much B solicitude for it to exercise a judicious controliflg B influence over tire appointments of the nest Presi- B dent. It will he recollected, that notwithstanding H Mr. Buchanan, General Jackson's only witness, de clared in the most positive terms, that if there were any " bribery or corruption in the election of Mr. Adams, he kuerc nothing of it," the Jackson paper* and orators insisted most lustily, that because Mr. Clay had been appointed Secretary of State, and Mr. Cook had been sent on a secret mission to St. Jago de Cuba, and they had voted for Mr. Adams, these circumstances were to be taken as conclusive proofs of the existence of a corrupt bargain between Mr. Adams and those who supported him. To this po sition the advocates of General Jackson would take no denial. It is, therefore, but just and proper that we should mete out to those Simon Pures —these exclusive patriots, the measure of their own prescrip tion. They have no doubt, been contending for the cause of General Jackson, merely because it is thé cause of the people, and not because they wished of fice ; and as they have succeeded, it is but just, that their conduct should, like Caesar's wife, be placed beyond suspicion. This is due to such disinterest ed lovers of the people, God bless them ! We are serious : and we enjoin it upon the friends of the present Administration who may be called upon to vote on the nominations of President Jackson, not
