JONATHAN ELLIOT, ffl n,* i, N lUcOmoifg SSIItift. FKIPAY MORNING, NOV. l(h J326. Mr. Heed, a Senator or the United Suites from Missis* S'PPti has lately been classed by some papers, .among the oppose rs-of Mr. Adams's Administration. This statement is made in consequence of a Speech delivered by Mr. Heed, no occasion of a Public Dinner, with which ho was hon ored by his constituents, in which he expressed his friend ship for General Jackson, and declared his opinion in relation to him unchanged. But Mr. Reed, at the same time, remarked tiiat Mr. Adams hnd administered the Go vernment in a spirit of moderation, equity and impartial ity which meet hi$ approbation, a ml that lie would not consent to inflict incurable evils upon the Country, by pai.il^ zing ids wispst^uieasuns. I^ii the subject of the Panama Mission, the standard under which the whole op position and Jackson men rallied, Mr. Reed remarked that he “was called to give his suffrage upon a measure deemed as important as any which Ims illustrated the annals of Republics, ancient or modern. The justice of piovideucc and the routine of War, had thrown oil the shackles of royalty and feudality, throughout almost the whole extent of the American hemisphere. Republics had i* coupon our neighbours in the place of vire-tcgal Colonies. A measure was proposed, at the invitation of those Repub lics, by the President of the United States, to consolidate iheii liberty, and to consecrate our own, upon a basis as durable as comports with the frailly of human institutions. 1 his measure, moreover, proposed to rc-cAgt, in the mould of modern civilization utid humanity, the code which re gulates the intercourse of nations with each other, and to prevent the farther propagation of Kutopean opinions, and hums of Government upon this continent, destined as I hope it is, to lie the cradle of Republics, as it lias been the grave of Monaichies. I find this nicasuic, so grand in its conception, and so congenial to our feelings, in favor o| liberty,opposed by a powerful party in the Senate, by arguments urged tatliei upon our fears, than addressed to the understanding. In this critical position, it is known to my constituents in wlini manner I acted, and l trust my conduct will meet the approbation ofevery considerateper son. I could have but one rule-for the guidance of my conduct in the Senate, and that was the light nf my own judgment, and the interests <d my state and our common country.*’ If after the avowal of these liberal sentiment.-, Mr I Reed can he ranked as the opponent of the Administra linn* | ive should like to know in what his opposition consists, or ! what arc the reasons fm it. The Danville Telegraph, in giving a view »f the predj- ' lections ofjjrc riifibrentstates, ns lizards Mr. Adams, and ‘ Gen. Jackson, says—North Carolina ami Virginia have 1 lo express an opinion: the Jailor, wo are inclined to think, ' will support Mr. Adams: a I though many of the acts of the f present administration are condemned;' yet whether she. t “will turn out’’the present incumbent tor a new head, of ( whose qualifications superior evidence have not liocn al- I forded, is doubtful.

North .lmcriran Review, (No. '. 53, October 1826, pa. ‘289.) under the article “Matkkiai.s i * »«R Americas History.” The same article has been I ‘ Philadelphia National (lazclte. and j re-puhlished in the Literary Register of the 26th of Orioher, 1826; and pro-| hably id other papers, and doubtless, will find a place in! every periodical work in the United States, which has any j pretensions to literature, “Another desideratum nfimmense impoitanre in a histo rical collection, is a perfect body of the statutes of all the Colonies and States, down to the forma lion of the federal ; constitution. The various editions of revised laws are! not enough; for it will often happen, that a law which has !

At ' I the period of the Revolution, particularly, the laws, which ! illustrated most strikingly the state and sp'uit of the times, . were the very ones soonest out of date.

It was printed at the charge of ihc Commonwealth, and we presume at a ransiderable pecu niary saciifTce, for it is sold nl a price hardly adequate to the cost. The project was designed f<>r public benefit, i and in attaining this end, it has been successful.—The pro- I feedings of the.

From thr Now Vork Post. j Tin: GREEK FRIGATES, j A pamphlet has just heen published, entitled a ‘‘He- i ! port of the Evidence and Reasons of the Award be tween Johannis Orlandos and Andreas Ltti iftttis, Greek Deputies, of the one part, and Ec Roy, Bayard fc Co. and (i. G. & S. Howland, of the other part.” This: pamphlet is signed by the arbitrators, and is elaborately written; but in (be perusal wc have given it, we do not see that any of the material allegations advanced in the pamphlets of Mr. Sed wick and Mr. Gontostavlos are denied. It is admitted that seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars were remitted to this country by Ibe deputies, for building two or more vessels of war, and Ibat by the award the Greeks received for (bis1 stun bnl one fiigate. wuith pcihaps, two hundred anti ; thirty three thousand dollars, but which cost-Ibe whole ! $7fttV»0t).

The reasons by which the arbitrators seek to justify themselves in making these allowances, it will be seen by Mr. Sedgwick’s pledge in to-dav’s paper, will be answered by him. In the mean time wc are glad that the matter is about to j undergo a thorough investigation, and that every thing i relative to it will probably be brought to light. It is J not one of those transactions of which the public ought : to be ignorant; it has an important bearing upon (lie I character of the community in which wc live, and | should not be huddled up and laid by among the c!J t-\re. 3 of z counting house.

Within the year past, the board have deemed it advisable and have accordingly had the upper room of the school house fitted up for a female school, entirely sepante and distinct from the male de- i partir.cnt. The great iinpoitancc of this step need only to be suggested to convince every reflecting mind of its utility and expediency; and were any comment necessary, it ni.iy lie found in stronger language Ilian the committee can urge, by a visit to the female school, in whose benches, instead of from 15 to 25 little chil dren, learning the merest elements of language, there will be found now from CO to 100 neat, cleanly dressed, orderly little misses of the usual ages, assiduously em ployed in learning' all the branches of an elcinenlarv English education, together with plain ornamental nee dlework of every kind, necessary to be learnt. This tH-nm'hnril.n C..l...nl _..._.1-1- . ... ^ torod with peculiar care, and in (he impressive words of a former committee on this subject, “they deem it unnecessary to say any thing of the importance of dif fusing as widely as possible, the henefit of this institu tion among the female children of our citv; the friends of the institution are doubtless aware of the mighty in llueticc excited by females on domestic and social or der, virtue and happiness: (hey know, the world knows, the indispensable necessity of early instruction, to pre lerve from temptation and vice, those who arc ere long o become wives, and mothers, and to prepare them for j he arduous and Highly responsible duties, then to dc- ; 'iilr e on them.” \V e. woui I not liave occupied so much ! f this report with this branch of it. were we not en i ircly convinced, that the little additional expense of it, ' nil bean hundred 1'olJ repaid in process of time to the j oinmuniiy it is intended !o benefit, by the disseinma- j ion among the peojde at large, of those pure principles j ( virtue and intelligence, upon which, the basis of our i igbly favoured goveriuiicnt is enlirejy founded.
