In th* early part of June the Editor \ intiettt&ed bi* purpose to retire from the * es'a'dvdirni nt cj the Nation- 1 Inte.lii- * g. nc/r. and ie ited the offeri of mdi- i vi mi Is deposed fo enter on itssup.r-j ir.tenilance. Hisprincrpal inducement, ' for taking this stepj was a regard to the general state Of his health, which had been, in no mail degree, effected ! j by the tion required by I I his situation. At the urn:- this purpose . aas ftynwM, it «... tnied fay a determination not to suffer the esta blishment, on any account whatever, to pass into !i tnds, either unfriendly to the great political principles tinitormly ad vocated by th i Intelligencer, of incompetent toits managem-rut. For although the period was, almost with* out a precedent, p aceiul and t.r ous, it was obvious that, as nil options are exposed to vicissitudes, a ftreloood calm Oiigbt be *Mi"rteed«rd in the politi cal, as k iY-<oi< ndy is in the physical world, by a storm that wool ; call for . the exerc's" of all the talei tsand vir tuosi f the fri nds r.f principles. Which s&em to be exclusively c/.tf. ied to the s-,fe Jfeeping of the Uurt«*d States. In advocating these principles o'i 1 de. fending those who hfrve '•• i n the most distinguished in -* 'h-tn, the i Editor lax s no dun to merit on the score of talent, H rtoew, howe lay claim to the virtu? of fidelity ; to a sincere bent i*p*h in the superiority and feasibility of republican govern* merit, and in a firm determination to contribute whatever l» in bis power to -1 wards its maintenshce. However weakly, therefore, he may defend, rt is Impossible for him to betray this great can But *». short time elapsed, fer, m the time of bis in >kiu;r kr.ov/n his purpose, before a totally ur.iooked for aggression on the iiHtiooai rights occurre<i, which thr*rateuetj to disturb the peace ot the country, and seemed not unlikely to be the prelude of tim I Hi which the sincerity of principle wouidlx* typoaed to an iinu»ually r.evf reord' 1 al, anti which would cl dm from every Citizen the b'"-t exertion of his faculties, 'i his in vigorated the resolution, origin diy formed, not to surrender the r«rabfi<di< m- nt into hands on whom the fullest re liance could not be placed. A considerable time has since passed without any offer b*ing marie, which has been considered satisfactory on this ground. The Editor, his, therefore, determined to continue to superintend th" National Intelligencer, In commu nicating this intention to the public, he h s only to observe that the same prin ciple**, which have hitherto guided the discharge of his Editorial duties, re main Unshaken, and from which it is his pride never to have swerved. Eve ry conviction of his understanding has increased his attachment to them ; and bis purpose to defend those measures which are the best calculated to pre serve them lUViolate. He conscienti ously believes »he existing dministra tion have uprightly and wisely discharg ed their duties. He is, theretort, the friend of th.t administration, anil what ever new dangers may environ them, fr im the injustice ol foreign powers, or ! from internal machinations, he shall view in the light of new motives to ex ertion. Looking forward to the ensuing ses sion of Congress as probably one of the most inter •~<h,g since the eta of the present government, he has exerted I himself in in kin;' arrangements, which he trusts will r nder the Nationallo telhgencer the toll and faithful organ :as well of the proceeding* if tin- go vrnment as ot the public sentiment, With this view, and 10 relieve himself (torn a burthen peculiarly cppresMv* when united with other duties, he has . r -<r,os of Mh.

For some time past, the Editor ! has had to ngretthe necessary use of an inferior paper, and of a press some what out of repair, from Ins inability immediately to retrieve nt the City of j Washington the disappointment expe rienced in t'neso respects. He has, however, entered into a new contract , for the supply of a better paper, and ' ! there arc already on the water on their j ; way from Philadelphia, a New Press ! i and fount of letter. He thus flatters : himself with being able to make the j National Intelligencer before the sitting lof Congress, not only worthy of the ; patronage which it now enjoys, but ld-ewise of an extended subscription. ! The great additional expences which ; witl bp incurred render it indispensi! le that Subscribers should be punctual m i j their payments. It is, therefore, ex- ; j pected that every new Subscriber ad- j vafice five dollars, the pi ice for a year, \ at the (. riod of subscription, and that I 1 the existing subscribers pay off thelrl , arrears and make the necss ry advance | '. before the opening of the fessioo. i ; Should this circumstance not be attend- j \ed to, the transmission of the p-vpers ; | roost he discontinued Subscribers will j i recollect that subscriptions cannot be I received for Its! than a year, ;mi>! that I the postage of letters must be paid. * August 27. !

Ihe Ik tit. j not finding the pilots disposed to com i ply, ordered his men to take possesstoa of the Thorn, and one of his men ac tually took bold of the helm, but Mr. Mitchell not being inclined to surrender without a struggle, knocked the man away from the helm and declared his determination to oppose what force be had to any outragnais attempt to take possession of his vessel.
