THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2, »827.
The President of the United left Washing
ton at noon on Tuesday last and passed through
Baltimore the same evening on his way to Mas
sachusetts. Mr. Clay is expected to arrive at
the Seat of Government this evening.
Such was the demand in Baltimore for Mr.
Cay’s speech delivered at Lexington, that not
withstanding its having been published in ere
ry paper of the eiiv, a pamphlet edition was
found to be wanted, and was accordingly issued
from the press of the Baltimore Patriot.
The Jackson papers in Pennsylvania admit
-hat there are a great many Administration
men in some parts of that state, but allege that
roost of them are federalists. Now it is a well
established fact that Jackson was brought for
ward in Pennsylvania exclusively by federalists
_by Ingham, Buchanan and others of the same
,,ll'ra st-mp. Adams and. Calhoun were the
Dcinoc.atic Candidates until Calhoun sold out
Jackson, and Jackson was nominated by the
Harrisburg Convention. Nine-tenths ol the
federalists voted for Jackson, but they are now
convinced of their error, and in common with
a large proportion of the Democrats are deter
mi. ed to confess it at the polls in 1828. E'e
iy day produces additional evidence that Penn
sylvania is irretrievably lost to the ‘‘Combina
tion" The Administration majority will be
immense. In many counties were Jackson re
ceived nearly a unanimous vote in 1824, it is
now demonstrable that Adams will beat him
by four to one in 1828.
At an adjourned meeting of the Freeholders
,r the Town and County of Alexandria, at the

WAR NEWS.
FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI.
Extract from a letter written by a house in St.
Louis, to a gentleman in this city, dated 12th
| July, 1827:
“We learn by the arrival of Governor Cass,
that the‘Winnebago Indians have commenced
hostilities at Prairie du Chein,and the mining
districts The citizens at Prairie were much
alarmed, had lefr their habitations, and taken
refuge in the fort, where they are making rxer
tions to defend themselves against an attack
We are also informed that the Miners in the
neighborhood of Fever liver were a good deal
alarmed.
“The Indians have been harassing them and a
boat, flther ascending or descending the river
had been completely riddled; two men on board
her were killed, and two badly wounded. A
inong the latter is the clerklof the steam boat
Mexico. On the arrival of this news, an ex
paeis was immediately sent to Gen. Atkinson,
lie arrived in town on Tuesday afternoon, and
held a consultation with Gen. Clark and Gov
ernor Cass, the result of which is, that six com
panies of the 1st, and the whole of the 6th Re
giment, all under the command of Gen. Atkin
son, will immediately proceed up the river —
The steam boats Indiana and General Hamil
toB are both engaged to convey the troops and
stores, and the river is in. fine order, it is hoped
an immediate check will be given to further
hostilities.”
uau.ivi ui .ticucruum iur. w. ivcvnmus, m major
Win. Burr of thi« city. St. Louis, July 12. i
In consequence of hostilities commenced by
the Winnebago Indians, the boats engaged to
transport your army stores, have been stopped.
The Keel Missouri was stopped at Prairie
des Chein, the caigo stored in the fort, (to
which the citizens had Heel) and the bout
sunk to protect her. The boats in which the
remainder is shipped, will stop at Rock Island.
It is impossible to proceed with the .tores until
some protection is procured, as men will not
proceed farther. Two boats telurning from St.
Peters were attacked, (one belonging to me)
and 'no men killed and two wounded. I shall
take proper methods to secure the cargo and
bouts so far as is in my power.
OTIS REYNOLDS.
Captain Wray, of steam boat Velocipede,
writes—‘‘I forward you a letter from Mr. Rey
nolds, advising you of the situation of the cargo
of the keels. He observed to me that it would
be impossible for him to proceed on, as the
men had deserted the boat, in consequence of
which I called on Gen Atkinson, at Jefferson
Barracks, and he told me he would stau with
a regiment on Sunday, 15th instant, and he
would see that it should he forwarded, if possi
ble by sending a detachment of troops with it.
Gov. Cass had ordered out the militia.— Gas.
TENERIFFE.
New York, July 30 —'We learn by theschr.
St Croix, which left Teneriffe 20th ultimo, that
there had been no rain at the Island since the
beginning of November, and the crops had fall
en short, in consequence, nearly one half. By
information from Madeira, that place was in
the same condition. At Gomara, a party of
troops, 60 in number, had robbed the churches
of plate, and some of the inhabitants of money;
from one individual they took 15,000 dollars
Thev then took possession of a small English
laltten schooner, and made their escape, after
wetting the powder, and spiking the guns of
the fort. Much discontent existed among the
troops at the Island, and a mutiny was daily ex
pected. General Morales had been appointed
Governor of the Canary Islands. It was re
ported'that he was on board an English schoo
ner at Cadiz, but dare not come out of the har
bor in consequence of a Colombian corvette
privateer being off the port, with the intention
of capturing him.
Nkw York, July 30.*-The trial of JESSE
STRANG charged with the murder «f John
Whipple, was finished on Fiiday. On Thurs
day, after all the circumstancial evidence had
been adduced to fix the crime upon the prison
er, thv counsel Tor the prosecutors offered to
prove his confessions. Io this his counsel ob
jected, alleging that whatever confessions he
might have made were drawn from him in an
improper manner, and ought not, therefore, to
go to the jury. This of course led into an ex
amination into the fact whether improper in
ducements had been held out lo the prisoner,
and several witnesses were examined to ascer
tain that fact. Judge Duer delivered a lucid
opinion, in which the circumstances under
which the confessions of a prisoner might be
offered to a jury as testimony against him were
ably discussed, and concluded by declaring
that those made by the prisoner at the bar did
not come under the rule laid down by his coun
sel, and must thetefore go to the jury. These
confessions were thereupon testified to by sev
eral witnesses, and the district attorney hcie
rested the cause. The counsel for the prisoner
were then called upon for the defence of the
prisoner, when Mr. Pepper rose and addressed
the court, saying that he, and his associate
counsel had done all that they felt it their duty
I to do in behalf of the prisoner, and were willing
that the case should be submitted to the jury
without fhrther delay.
The judge then delivered the charge to the
jury, who retired and in a few minutes brought
in a verdict of guihy.
The prisoner, throughout the trial, appeared
like one* who had made up his mind to meet an
inevitable, horrid fate, and when his doom was
pronounced by a jury of hi* country, scarcely a
muscle moved, or a change of countenance told
the workings of a mind that had led him on to
ruin. - , .. ,
The sheriff, and the officers under him, de
serve great credit for the prompt and efficient
manner in which they discharged their arduous
duty of preserving order in such a crowded as
semblage as attended the trial.
The trial of Mrs. Whipple, as an accomplice
in the murder of her husband, will commence
on Monday morning, at 10 o'clock; and till that
shall have been nnishe^^we shall studiously
avoid giving any of the testimony in the case of
Strang, pursuant to an order of the court/
