The Providence Literary {Subaltern of July 30ih
-has tbe following in reference to the letter of Mr.
Jefferson:
“The letter will be sent to Richmond, Va. in a few
days, at the instance of the editor of the Richmond
\y hig, that its genuineness may be tested, to the con
fusion of all those slanderers, who have endeavored
to dispute its authenticity ”
We shall lose no time on its reception, in inform
ing our readers of it, and submittuig it to the sever
est scrutiny.
LOUISIANA ELECTION
The returns from’ this State, as far as heard from,
are given in the New Orleans Mercantile of the 15th
' pit. The aggregate are as follows:
For Governor.—R man 318l>; Beauvais 1354;
Hamilton f834; Randall 475.
’General Thomas, the Clay candidate, has been
elected, in the 2d Congressional District, over Gen
eral Ripley, the Jackson candidate by 111 votes!
We find the following nuti* appended to an article
in Niles’ Register of Saturday, by which, it appears
that Mr Hamilton, and not Mr _ BeauvirtG' was the
Jackson candidate.
“From what we have seen 'hi' the party newspa
pers of Louisiana, we regard Mr Roman as the
‘Clay candidate.’and Mr. Hamdton as the ‘Jackson
candidate ’—We do not understand what ore the
politics of Messrs. Beauvais and Randall—but think
tbe first a friend of Mr. Clay, and the last of Presi
dent Jackson.”
Judge White,the anti-Jackson candidate for Rep
resentative to Congress from the Orleans District,
has been elected wrhout opposition In the third
District, the Parish of St Mary’s gives for Judge
Bullard, the Clay cundidate, 127—for P. A. Rost,
(Jackson) 80.
• Upwards of thirty millions of tho public debt were
paid off during the administration of Mr. Adams—
and a balance left in the Treasury at the close of it,
of more than five millions. Besides this large re
duction of the debt, more than a million of dollars
Was expended in enlarging and maintaining the light
house establishment—for the benefit of commerce;
half a million in completing the public buildings; two
millions in creating arsenals, barracks, and furnishing
the national armories; nearly the same amount in ad
ditions to the navai establishment; upwards of three
millious in fortifications on the sea coast, and more
than four millions for various purposes of internal im
provement Other sums, to the amount of more than
a million, were appropriated *.u objects of a-lasting
character, not belonging to the current expenses;
making altogether upwards of fourteen millions os
pended for the permanent benefit of tkc country du
ring this much abus- d administration.
Olden Times!—During the administration of Sir
Jefferson, (Hays tlie Winchester Republican! the fa
ther of republicanism, no man dared to raise ni9 voice
With impunity against what is now termed the A
tnericau System Those who are now in opposition to
it were then its strong advocates In an uddress is
sued at Richmond in 1808,signed by Win. H Cabell,
Wm Wirt, Win. Foushee, sen Peyton Randolph,
and Thomas Ritchie, the strongest arguments are
used to call the attention of the people of the State
to such a ystera of domestic manufacturers would
reader us independent of foreign nations. The ad
dress contains these words among others:—
“Perhaps it is no wild supposition to conceive, that
even if the present attacks on our trade should blow
over. Congress may adopt, the policy of encouraging
our own manufactures, by rather higher duties on the
imported, articles of Europe To keep ourselves
lVom being altog ther dependent on Europe for our
Clothing, Congress may adopt this course if they
should discover from the experience of the interme
diate time that we have really theviclination and the
f'Pirit to cloths ourselves.”
We omitted to notice a Dinner given on Saturday
last at Clark’s Spring, by tin* Richmond Lafayette
Artillery, to their late Commander Col John Ruth
r\ erfoord, on his recent promotion to which were in
vited the Commissioned and Non-Commissioned Offl
uers of the Dragoons and Bluea. and other guests.—
The Colonel was received hy the Artillery with mili
tary honors and warmly greeted by his old compan
ion* and comrades A sumptuous repast was parta
ken of by the company assembled and in reply to a
most complimentary toast given by the Committee of
Arrangements, the Colonel responded in a very ap
proprtate and eloquent speech & sentiment Com pit
mentary toasts passed between the Dragoons. Anil
lery and Blues—many others wer-- given, and though
many of them were of a political character, the ut
most harmony and good feeling prevailed.

Notwithstanding tne recon’ promise given by the
Editor of the Enquirer, that there would be no .“sta
tate of nullification,” and that in fact, the crisis had
passed, and S. Carolina would return to a constitu
tional course—th« symptoms appear as unfavorable
as before. The Mercury, the Tel 'scope and all. are
as busy 6inco the pompous annunciation of the E as
before Ii seems certain that intelligent and prudent
men apprehend the worst. A writer in the Charles
ton Courier of July 30th. animating the friends of
Union to make a stand at >he Polls in favor of their
principles, hoids the following language:
“Men whose views are sinister, cannot imagine
how a man can be an honest politician Againsi
Carolina, iodo d! Against our homes, our alia s,
thegraves ofour kindred—what folly! No, we area
• gainst nullifiers, disumonists; men who ihiisi lor blood,
mobs, bonfires of citizen's houses, und all the horrors
of a revolution If our citizens arc not active, our
pavements may be slippery with olood in less than
* six oiontiis. Already the Mile of property is almost
at an end. No man trusts his neighbor. These
who have money are placing it beyond the reach of
popular tutxnilt. Those who hove property tremble
for it. Desparadoes, men who can lose nothing, are
panting for the days of equality, when confiscation,
tiots and executions wrl bring about an infernal Sat^
urnalia. These men say they arc all for Carolina.
Has it come to this, that'he wise, the experienced,
the prudent, aye, and the brave, who dare to beard
these political ruffians, are to be denounced nsagaingl
Carolina? The Polls must answer; they Bpcak the
voice of the people.” A MAN.
To the Editoms of the Whig.
Gentlemen: Do me the favor and give the public
something to be amused at,| by republishing from
Tucsday’6 Enquirer, the following:
“Kor Brutus is an “honorable” man,
“And they are all, all “honorable” men.
‘'It is as we expected. There is not an atom of
Truth in the account ot Mr. Randolph’s arrogant de
portment towards Capt Perry. Tne Norfolk Her
ald upon the spot says it. The following communi
cation from an intelligent correspondent give us a
narrative of circumstances, which will interest the
;sadeg'e attention, and ydsaove every ddu&t Upon the
subject. Will not Mr. Walsh correct the misrepre
sentation? Will not the coalition prints do so much
justice to “Commodore Randolph.” as to disabuse
those readers whom they have deluded by the publi
cation ot “Appomatox?” And who is this Appo
matox? Will Mr Stone say? or if he will not ex
pose his correspondent, will he not compel him to
make the amende honorable 10 a calumniated politi
cian and to un abused Public? What is this “hon
or-ible source”—this “honorable ’ man, “who in
the brighter age of the Republic, stood high
in the confidence and councils of his country?”—
"Councils ot ms cuuniry! Who can tins be, that
I thus shows off bis own“worth,” and would give lus
tre “to tne brighter age of the Republic,” by either
calumniutiug an ubsout man or heedlessly circulating
misrepresentations about him for which he has no ad
equate foundation?”
That certainly Messrs. Editors, must be deemed
an odd trait of human' nature, winch makes it most
inexorable, where, a priori, we should expect it»to be
most lenient—namely, in cases where it has itself
sinned. IChe liar cannot excuse the liar—a onward
hates a coward— ne drupkard lias ilo charity what
soever, for another. . 'Your ‘learned cotemporary
is exceedingly indignant, nay in a very lowering p.is
Mon, at the “Coalition Prims,” for the publication of
a certain piece called Appomatox, charging the Rus
sian Plenipotentiary with a.-sinning to lake command
ot the Concord “Wno is tins Appomatox1* Will
Mr c>t ne (Editor of the N. Y. Commercial) say?”
Whewl Messrs. Editors—wtten 1 read me long string
ot questions winch follow these, ceriain others thut
I have heard asked a thousand times, forcibly occur
red to me. “Who is ihe author of the EAST
ftOOM LETTER? Will Mr. Ritclue say? Will
he? Will he tell the ‘ honourable source,” whence
that letter proceeded? The author of that letter, if
I am not mistaken, was announced to stand high also,
in the “councils’ of tliccoumry. ;
Appomatox may be false—n very possibly is so—
but for lienven’s sake, let not Mr. Ruclne be so hard
upon the publi.-hers of false news, or take bo much,
pains to degrude himself by fawning and cringing to
a man, who is known to entertain n<>d to express for
him. the must unqualified contempt—using him when
hi.- services, oi those ol his paper, are necessary to
him, and rewarding the most assiduous pains to ac- j
quire ihe honour of his notice alid approbation, with j
the most withering indifference Your fcJpamel how- j
ever after all, is the dog fer keeping fat—I do not in
the present case speak literally. * CLINTON.

‘*1 regie; to add, that dealn, in us most appalling
form, lias made its appearance m this town and vicin
ity. It seems to be confined to the laboring classes
in general, but more especially to the emigrants
working on the canal. Its approach seems to be pre
ceded by a species of wild delirium >n the subject,
which holds until Ui’e body sink> from «-xnaustion, &
atier a few hours continuance in tins condition, the
spirit depaits from ns mortal tenement; shortly after
death the corpse lakes a dark hue, and oecomes near
ly black. In the Roman Catholic graveyard, I huve
been informed ihai many as 14 have b'-en interred
in one day; ami a mourner of ihai denomination, was
told by one of the clergymen, that lie had visited,
within twenty four hours forty different prisons and
administered to each the comfort of religion, i'here
is another clergyman ot the same persuasion also in
constant attendance. The labourers are chiefly
members of that Church. The disea>e is not always
fatal; there have been several cases of recovery.

LA JEST FROM EUROPE
By the Formosa, Havre packet, and the York,
LtverpouJ packet, we nave received copious tiles or
Pari' and London papers to the date of 22d inclusive
from Paris, and 23d l om L<iidon.
Toe Piench papers an- filled with speculations on
me elections. The postponement by tire government
ol the period lor convening the electoral colleges in
19 departments is ascribed by the liberal journals to
toe wisii oi giving time for more efF c ually securing
the desire . result in those colleges The appeal
pending on behalt of many electors who had omitted
to huv.. their nuincs inscribed on the Hals at. the pro
per nme, is given as the ostensible reason for this
postpmii meni. The Court o; Cassation, however,
had already detenu nod in several cases uganist the
electors, on the ground thai neglect on their part
necessarily involved a suspension of their rigms un
til the new lists are made on,. This is done auiiual
ly. It is computed that about one thousand electors
will, b^lus decision, be shut oul trom the polls, and
these probabiy for the mo8t part liberal electors The
papers in that interest nevertheless claim with the
utmost confidence that a mujorny larger than ever
against the ministry will oc returned to Hie Chamber
of Deputies. Il so, the question which has almost
become Hint of the down! li of the throne, or at least
of the dynas'y, oi thai oi a constitutional and repro
8oni ive government, will assume a deeply interesting
character.
Tnere is nothiug later from Algiers; but some fur
ther details, which aro annexed. Ti e bay of 8idi
Ferusch, where t,be army disembarked, is about ten
miles west of Algiers, and is thu.- descrioed by Mr
Shuler.
The inarrabout of Sidi Ferasch, and the small cas
tie which protects it, stand upon a comparatively
high, rocky prcsqv'ile, which is susceptible «l being
fortified, anu rendered a secure military post. On
the beach contiguous to tins prcsrju'ite, there is a
well of good water, furnish' d with a stone reservoir
I for W„tering the flocks which feed in the neiglibor
! hood, of which wo saw several attended by Arabs,
j It is obvious that any lorcc whatever might be land
| od in the fine bay of Kadi Ferasch without opposi
| tion, whence by a single ma ch they might arrive '
i upon the heights which command the casile del Em
. perador, when, as nothing could prevent an approach
to the foot of its walls, i hoy might be either scaled
' or breached by a mine in a short time This position
, being mastered, batteries might bo established on a
; height commandmg the citadel, tvlnch is indicated by
: two cylindrical rums of windmills, and where are the
i nuns of a fortress which was called the Stau, which
| the jealous fears of this government caused to be de
ls' royed, for the reason here alledged, that it con -
| manded the citadel, and consequently the city. The
■ fleet which had landed the troops, would by this tim
r.apjJcat m tko bay f<J djfctrta tlieir ■atrs^tfeto, wV.co
Algiers raua| either surrender at discretion or be taken
by storm.
There can birno doubt, we apprehend, that the
capture of the city of Algiers very soon followed the
debarkation.- It is, by the by, evidence of the com
pleteness of th« preparation of this expedition, as
well as of great skill and tborough'disppline on the
part both of army and navy, that in Idfes than six
hours thirty tlJ/Kmfud men, with their equipments
and field,artiilerP1'were landed and organized cn a
hostile beaab. The debarkution commenced at four
o’clock ia the morning of the 14th June, and at ten
it was completed, a .d the batteries, undefended to be
sure, of tl*r enemy were taken possession of. It is j
also a remarkable incident that in ninety-six hours
the intelligence was conveyed from the coast of Af
rica to Parr, the vessel bearing the despatchoa hav
ing mndo a very quick run to Toulon, and ihencethe
news was transmitted by telegraphy
From Eng’nnd wo have nothing of especial inter
est. The Kk>g will not die, notwithstanding ihat
hosts <>f jpyqrhtUJfeottt, and expectant panegyrists,
hfvoHiad their mourning and their eulogies prepared
for a long time. The doctors are terribly at Fait;
and if there be any foundation for the annexed para
graph from the Lancet, the Duke .if Wellington is
as superior in the medical, as ha has proved himscll !
in the military and civil department*?, to all those who
surround him. A doctor’s diploma should be super- I

[f'rca the Lar.cet.]
Extraordinary as it may appear, when, m several
occasions, the physicians have betrayed thkgrea'CBt
alarm for the salety of the royal patient, tl£> noble
Premier haa calmed their apprehenstwns by aisuriim
them, with Ins cuaiacteriatic firmness, that th^-o ex
isted much validity and strength of system, and that
ho could perceive no immediate cause of danger, and l
when, at the beginning of the last Week, the nuble i
Duke was summoned in such exiremo haste to the !
palace about the time when the attendance of the
royal - undertakers” was demanded, ins Sruet ex
pressed much surprise at the “embarrassment” and
ularm exhibited by tbe medical attendants, and deda- I
red that he could peiceive no serious liberation inhiu ■
Majesty’s condition. The subsequent amendment!
of me King goes strongly to establish me noble Dale's'
mcdicai discrimination, it seems, indeed, to be an !
universally conceded point, thai his Majesty’s physi

Expedition to Aegiebs.—Paris, June 21.—The
government lias received letters to-night from Admi
ral Duperre.
On th< lCtn inst. the expedition left Parma (Ma-!
jorca,) and on ihe 12th presented ltaell ugain heiore
the coast ot Africa, and thnausdi) a -uooivd nme Ic-r-1,
ced u» to sea. On the 13th it arrived before Algiers, *
and having coasted along the forts und batieriesttfTut
into the bay ot Torre-Chica. The ion of this bay,
and the battery at the point, were abandoned by the
enemy, but the mortars and cannons which were ta
ken from them, were alterwards posted on tb neigh
boring heights
The sieainhoat Le Nageur compelled a battery con
sisting ot a mortar and »wo cannon to ho withdrawn.
A sailor of ihe ship Le Brcslaw was wounded. An
other sailor, belonging to ihe frigate La Surviellante,
had his leg taken oil by a cannon ball, h was too
late to attempt a debarkation, but all the arrange
mer.ts had been made to effect a landing.
i’liree light vessels were placed to the east of Torre
Chica, ns u battery in flank of the batteries of the en
emy, while two steam vessels were to protect the de
barkation on ihe w st.
On the 14tn,at half past 4 in the morning, the first
divison ol the army effected its landing, together with
eight pieces oi cannon.
Tins movement was succeeded at 6 o’clock by the
second divisen and the whole field artillery.
Ai halt past 6 o\ luck the general-in-chief landed,
and towards noon the rest of the troops, as well as
the munitions, piovisons, equipage, &c. the debarka
lion of which was carried forward wi h the greatest
activity. Two sailors jumped ashore and planted
the king’s flag on the fort and on the tower ol Turre
Clnca, wnere the hei*d quurtera of the army were fix
ed at 10 o’clock A M.
The following details respecting the expedition are
said to be derived from n source on which reliance
may be placed:—li is believed that the troops have
been flivded into three corps; one to remain at the
place where the land.ng was effected; another, to pro
ceed along the coast, and inke possession of the hat-!
teries that skin it; and the third, to march upon the
heights, in order to turn the town, and attack it on
the cast and south The walls on that side are said
to be in 6tich bad condition ns to require but a lew
vo.lies to make a breach; it is therefore considered
not unlikely that by this time the town is taken, anu
the expedition terminated. The roadstead of Tur
etta-Chiea le an jmoxpected safeguard to the expedi
tion and removes all anxiety. It is only to he wished
that there may be no need of cavalry, for, according
to accounts from Palma, almost all the horses perished
during a thirty days’ stay on board the vessels. The
17th regiment of chasseurs will make the campaign

the whole of the defences of Algiers arc carried by
our troops in flic course of the next fortnight are
wo to suffer the Charter to be taken by assaults, ami
leave onr liberties at the mercy of the assailants?
Shall the taking of Algiers lead to our own captivity?
No! never! — Let them publish on the morning of the
23d of June the Bulletin of the bombardment, and
every Constitutional Elector will exclaim when he is
going to vote, “What hove the bombs ro do with

not both go together. A similar appearance was

alarming than th*- present. The victory at. Navari
