FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 12, 1828.
Ihylned Flattery.—Mr. Calhoun, (who tho roadei
15aware) alter supporting and acting upon for twenM
years, as a member of Congress, and Secretary o
\y ar, tho most ultra Iatitudinarion construction o
file constitution, has of lute boroine*a convert to lim
if aririnism—and to make the change cl ill more flat
faring to Virginia (which State it is supposed m:n
ho necessary to his election as President) compliment.'
Mr. Tazewell with the credit of Jus conversion
How can \ irgiu’n resist so much condesconsicji?
Conjecture is busy at Washington, arranging Gen.
Jackson’s cabinet tor him. Tt seems understood that
I\Ir. \an Huron will by no means consent to place
himself within the “line of safe precedents,” by con
senting to be Secretary of State. Who then wiil the
Gfcneral select ? Livingston is perhaps better qualifi
ed than any other, but there is a rule of the Senate
prohibiting tho ratification of the nomination of a
public defaulter. Mr. Pazewoll’s acquirements and
experience run altogether in the lino of law and logic,
lie has neither diplomatic experience, any known in
timate acquaintance with foreign relations and the
lYlterual mechanism oi* European cabin; ts\ nor tact.
c imagine that the East liooifi business will place
Benton kors dr combat. We should adopt the opinion
that, the Post Master Genera! would be elevated to
-his responsible station, it t ho events <u the tour las^
jcara nan not uiteren the relationship m which the Sec
retary of State ivns formerly supposed lo bland to the
Presidency. Far from courting the position. Van Ka
ren has nianouvrod himself into a station which gives
Mm an apology for not accepting; and as Mr. M'Lcan
is now openly announced as n wooer of the Presiden
cy* thin!; Fiat. lie too will shrink from putting him
self “in t he line ofsafe precede nts." In thisexigenev,
Wu think the Hero will have to pul up with some «o
mnid rate man, unless Mr. Ritchie can be tolled from
the task of directing the destinies of Virginia to t ho
Fiy>erinteiidanco of those of tlie nation. We throw
o)it this hint fir tlie wisdom of (Jen. Jackson.

Speculation on the subject is however, idle. There
are materials enough for the formation of ail abl.
Cabinet —and as we have a President who spells with
great difficulty, and !:s too ignorant in Mr. RitchieV
opinion, “to in'erprrt the plain meaning of a single
Jaw,’ it must he confessed, that there was never
greater need for nil able cabinet.
The Hover nor in hi; letter to the int committee,
prays for the restoration of the reign of -‘pure, unadul
terated reason,” and good feelings. Auien! Ret us
sp.e who will best, observe the recommendation.
Iiis Excellency the Governor, seems to think, he
has lately passed through n severe ordeal, from the
party feelings of the d.13*. The reader will be editied

Would these good people h ive made had they caiurht

l’ROM HAVRE.
! „ Wv the arrival at this port of the brig Mary, captain
j Stiyduin, from Havre, Paris dates totlie 24tlx, and llu
ivretothe 25th Oct. have been received. We are
I indebted to Mr. Sanderson, of the Coffee House, for
• i file of the Journal Ju Havre, ftont which wo are
able to gather little of interest.
Wo find no confirmation of the full of Varna as
stated in a private letter from Hamburg.
1 he Journal of the Coth says—“L ulil the present
! time, those who had interpreted most unfavourably
I tor Russia the news from the theatre of war, < onsid
i.-red the fall pf Varna as inevitable; indeed, devoid of
tall fortification, pressed for many months by a numer
j o army, which was encouraged by the presence of
! t"- t,lis 1'hice appeared condemned to fall into
i ”le h:"V!s ot‘ ,ilc- bariegrers. Now, the deliverance of
I \ arna is at least proha hie.”
In another part of the letter to the editor of the
j Journal, from which wo extract the above, it is said
i\ar;n need net feur an attack; before ooouimr the
I breach (<>r entrance, it will be necessary lor tl»ritiis
^imisto disperse the thirty thousand meu of Umar
\ none—otherwise the combined attack of the besie
ger,, and the Turks ,m th,. outside, would threaten
; them with an almost inevitable ruin.
; H is mentioned as a matter worthy of notice, that
l.ue name of tlu; Emperor of Russia docs not once up
p-uw m tiie Russian bulletins. “Whs Nicholas,”
the Journal, “in the camp, or was he on his way
; to he capital?”
^ 1 he reports from Constantinople, represent the
'! urks ;IS excellent spirits. The Grand Scmnor
vviis at tan camp, with the standard of the Prophet;
all public officers are clothed in military costume.
i ne led < t>ns from the Turkish army, recount the
daily victories gained by Hasssein Pacha, under tiie
! ‘Utrenclnuents of Shumla, which are called the “<„m6
■'■J the infidels"
The Journal says the Emperor must have lost
eighty thonsaud men iu this cainpaigno. His armirs
.have been dccinntcd by the sickness resulting from
the climate.
J uu I runcn army nave suHered much by sickness
1 in tin? Morea.
\V«* havo given the opinions of the French writer,
touching . arna; but opmions go but. for little un-ainst
larts—and hence deference is due to the privatelctter
ron, Hamburg. The Havre paper quoted above,
• Inis the following paragraph
. “Letters from Amsterdam of the 20th October, an
1 nrjl!nJ-'e tIlf> fall ofVarna, after a frightful carnage, for
; Which the Courier Anglais of the 23d, is credited.”
I A number of persons connected with the Post Of
fice, hare been arrested in Paris, in consequence of u
j robbery committed in that department.

COTTON—So i.*u. lr neglected here lormerly, now ranks as
one of our staples, and has heroine an article of much interest to
j ot,r 'Merchants All that tl»«: planters bring to this city is itmiie
j iliately bought up, at prices certainly as high, we believe higher
than is given in any market Lc.twton Charleston and New York.
! It now commands 9i to lot cts. according to quality, and isiti
good demand. Planters would adviuice their own interest hv
j bringing their cotton to this market. They will find noadlfficulty
i in gPMi"S purchasers, and good prices in good money.
h LOUR. This article remains without alteration since hut
j week. Wo quote city mills $3, cunal $71—but the.-o prices are
I merely uo.ninal, few holder- being disposed to sell. The artlcjti
j continues income, in freely, and as there is little or none ahlp
I ping, the slock commues to increase. 25 to 30,000 Lbls. arp
, stored, waiting for higher prices.
j WHKAT—Which last week teemed to have settled clown at
: about £1 10, Las improved. Good merchantable* wheat now
J commands £1 50. This rise is attributable to competition
i iln,onS lhc millers. The season for bringing in wheat is nearly
over, and it comes in sparingly— chiefly in waggons, (rom N.
Carolina mid distant count.es, lioin which wc seldom receive
:U'y, except when the price is high, to enable them to pav the
heavy land carriage in getting it to market.
