, key west and com. porter.
Pensacola, July 20.
Com. Ridgely, the Commander of the West
India Squadron has sailed from Pensacola in
the Hornet. It was not known, until he was
under wary (savs the Gazette of 20rh July! »hat
he would leave this port for some time, and his
unexpected movement, .to Havana and Key
West, at this season, has set conjecture afloat
as to the object of his visit. An unusual num
ber of despatches were received by him from
Washington, by late mails, and it is understood
that the new sloop of war the “Natchez,” is to
meet him off Havana.
The late movements atKev West may require
1 the presence of the commander of our squad
ron. It was said, not long since, that a Cabil
(Jo had been held in Havana, to discuss the
propriety and expediency of attacking C om*
mod ore Porter within the harbor of Key West,
and, of course, within the jurisdiction of the
United States. It is reported that a majority
Avert in favor of the measure, but Vives,
the Captain General, tfnd Commodore La
borde, were opposed to it, being of opinion
that it would violate the neutrality ol the United
States. It isalso rumored that Com. Laborde,
commander ol the Spanish naval forces, has
made a complaint tolhe Collector at Key West
against the conduct of Com. Porter; and that
the Spanish authorities have also made formal
complaints to our Government ol the violation
of the neutrality on the part of the Mexican na
val forces. It is probable that C »m. Ridgely
.has been ordered there, to enquire into these
matters, to prevent abuses on either side; and
to protect the neutral character of the United
States.

PRESIDENT ADAMS.
Boston, August 6.— Before the annunciation
of his departure from Washington for Massa
ihuseits had reached us, we heard of Mr. Ad
mu being in the immediate vicinity of the
iome of his ancestors.* Me left ashington
in Tuesday the 31st uIt was iu Philadelphia
in Wednesday, in New York on Thursday,
s hich latter place he left on Friday in the steam
>oat Washington, in company with a large
lumber of passengers, for Providence, and
hence proceeded on Saturday by stage to
}uincv. We mention these circumstances to
ihcw as well with how much expedition the
-hief Magistrate of the republic travels from
he capitol to one of its distant sections,as with
vhat little pomp and ceremony his progress on
i journey of between four and five hundred
tides is marked.—Mr. Adams* visit to Massa

vhich he was named first executor.—Pat.
^ the Editor of the National Journal;
A paragraph has appeared in the Telegraph
aken from the Baltimore Republican, which
ontains, a> is usual with those papers, a palpa
ble falsehood.
v It is represented that Mr. Trimble, of Ken
ucky, on his way to Washington, during the
ill of 182*, as a Member of Congress from that
|fate, called at Richmond for the avowed pur
est of meeting the College of Electors of Yir
inu, with the view to induce chat body to vote
ft Mr. Clay; and urged as a reason, that even
pon the contingency of Mr. Crawford’s being
1 returned to the House of Representatives, he
(Mr. Crawford) could not be elected President
of the United States.
The writer of the paragraph knows very lit
tie of the Virginia character, if he supposes Mr
Trimble, or any other member of Congress,
could venture to tamper with the feelings of that
body, and completely is he ignorant of our cha
racter, if he imagines that gentleman would have
dared to bint the object of such a visit.
But how stands the fact? I happened to be in
Richmond the very afternoon of Mr. Trimble’s
arrival—put up at the came house with him,
(the Eagle tavern)—was instantly introduced
to him by Judge Hugh Holmes, of Virginia,
in the presence of Judge Johnson, and now
' Judge Hay, and Mr. Thompson, from Georgia
—spent the afternoon with him, the greater
part of the next forenoon, dined with him, and
i the evening of the same dav he left Richmond
for Washington. At that time the College had
! not assembled, nor did it meet for a fortnight
1 afterwards. I will venture, then, to say with
i perfect truth, that Mr. Trimble did not see a
single member of the Virginia College of Elec
tors, and that he would have left Richmond
early the next morning after his arrival, but for
. my solicitations to wail a few hours, that l
: might accompany him to Fredericksburg.
I As an avowed friend of Mr. Trimble, which
I shall not deny, and an open and stronger one
j of Mr. Clay, I make this statement, defying
the contradiction of the whole world.
The residue of the paragraph I pronounce
I equally false, and without the shadow of founda
tion. A VIRGINIAN.
August 10th 1827.
“STRIKE BUT HEAR.”
Everv eye is turned on Mr. Buctynan. Eve
ry man is speculating upon what his statement
will be—how* far ii will confum, and how far it
will contradict, that of General Jackson. In
dependent o! General Jackson having, without
permission, given up the name of Mr. Buchan
an as the bearer of a corrupt proposition, care j
is taken to let him and the public know, that
General Jackson has consulted with Major Ea
ten, and that so far as depends upon him the
| statement of General Jackson shall be corrobo- j
J rated.
Devoted as we know Mr. Buchanan was, and
is, to the cause of General Jackson, we cannot
but marvel at the disingenuousness with which,
to give color to the conversation, Gen. Jackson
takes occasion to say, that he understood Mr.
Buchanan “had always to that moment been on
familiar and friendly terms with tyr. Clay .”
We venture to affirm that there was no man at
Washington more intensely anxious to effect
the elevation of General Jackson to th^ Presi
dency than was Mr. Buchanan, and this fact
was well known and duly appreciated by Gen.
Jackson; yet, he would discolour the whole
1 communication by inducing the public to be
j lieve that Mr. Buchanan was on mote “familiar
j and friendly terms with Mr. Clay,” than l'e was
; with him, the General. \_Dcm. Pres4.
The address of Judge JDuer to thj unhappy
Strang, wtiich we copy below from thf Albany
1 papers, is powerful and eloquent, and cJlculat*
qd, if any human counsel can benefit him, to
move the heart of the convict:
Sentence of Strang.—The following is Judge
Duer’s address to Strang when he pronounced
the sentence of the law upon him. It had a per
ceptible effect upon the prisoner, and the whole
audience appeared dteply impressed with the
! awful solemnity of the occasion:
\ Jesse Strang! Hearken to what I shall say to
, vou. You have been indicted on the oaths of
j the Grand Inquest of the county of Albany, as a
| principal felon in tne qrurder of John Whipple,
to which indictment on your arraignment you
pleaded Sot Guilty, and for your deliverance put
yourself upon your country. The jury selected
from that country, for your trial, have found you
! Guilty, and it remains only for the court to pass
sememe of death against you. Have you aught
to say why the judgment of the law should not
hr pronounced upon you?
You say nothing. Nothing is to be said. The
crime for which you are 10 suffer is of the deep
est dye—the circumstances under which it was
1 commuted are of the most atrocious charac
ter, and your guilt has been most clearly esta
blished. By \our own confession, you planned
' and "xecuted the destruction ol the deceased,
with the most deliberate and perfidious cruelty.
Not with the ferocity of the tiger, hut with the
i cunning of the serpent and ihe malignity of a
fiend. Impelled by lust and avarice, you direct
. tu your subtle machinations to the possession
c.L. __s__ft:. ...j 1.
wi mr |)ci jii anvi i ui **n« j mmv* uw<
i»'g succeeded in one part of your design, you
pursued it with remorseless energy and unre
lenting perseverance until you had removed, as
you supposed, the sole obstacle to the accom
plishment of the other. You commenced by
seducing this weak, infatuated woman from her
allegiance to her husband—proceeding, beguil
ed her from her duty to society, her family, and
her God, and ended her ruin with the murder
of her husband; and had you escaped detection,
you would probably have realized the guilty ex
pectation that tempted you to these arts of com
plicated villany. But the murderer seldom
escapes detection, or lies for anv length of time
concealed. Even-handed justice sooner or later
is sure to overtake him; and a special Providence
seems frequently to discover him, when trusting
to his artifices, he thinks himself secure This
may have been the case with you. You proha-.
bly imagined that if vou could elude the vigi
lance of man, your guilt would continue unre
vealed; or even, that if you could escape punish
ment in this world, you wottld have nothing to
apprehend in that which is to come. But jus
tice has been swift to overtake you, and you now
stand convicted, trembling and weeping before
a tribunal of your fellow-men. How will vou
appear before your God? Perhaps you doubt;
that there is a God, and from the selfish ohdu- j
racy of your conduct, as well as from reports
founded on yourowu confessions, which though
not officially before us, have from their noto- J
riety reached our ears, we fear that your heart .
has been long since hardened, and your mind :
darkened into Atheism; that infidelity was the
source of an early rod intense depravity, and
th« ultimate cause of your last most aggravated
and heinous crime. You have indeed pursued
your career of blood, regardless of God or man.
You have defied the powers of earth, and set at
nought the vengeance of Heaven. Reckless of
your own fate, you have not\pupled to involve
in it, the temporal and eterinti doom of others.
You have sen! a confiding husband suddenly to
his account, and sought the destruction, body
and soul, of a treacherous and deluded wife.—
And you have done all this without provoca
tion, without resentment, without animosity,
without passion; but in *:old-blooded malignity,
and from heartless caleultftions of profit to
yourself. In contempt of the divine command,
you coveted your neighbor's house,and his wife,
and in order to obtain them, you have violated
without compunction, every remaining precept
of the moral law.
If you had no dread#of eternal consequences,
and deliberately resolved to hazard yoyr own
reputation, your peace of mind, and even your
mortal existence in the prosecution of your ne
I farious ends—had you no consideration, nor
remembrance of your friends? Did it never
cross your active, scheming, restless, mind,
that you had honest parents and other reputa
ble connexions, whose good name would be
tainished—whose peace would be injured,
whose lives might terminate in sorrow for
your crimes? If your heart were not of stone,
if it could have felt one touch of humanity, that
reflection would have staid your murderous
hands. If in the hardness and self sufficiency
of your heart, you forgot or despised them: yet,
will not ihis Court overlook their request, or
disregard their grief; but from respect to their
unmerited suffering, will spare thum the addi
tional pang of ordering your lifeless body for
dissection, and in the exercise of its discretion,
direct it to be delivered into their hands.
If V\t monitor within your breast, be not al
ready awakened, or you regard not w hat is said
to you, listenl charge you to the-Still small
voice of conscience. It can admonish you
more potently, and convince you more deeply,
than c an words from the lips of man. If you
have not already begun to feel that you owe
your bting to an Almighty and Eternal Author,
and that you ha«e offended, not merely against
human ordinances, but against the immutable
laws of the infinitely wise and righteous Ruler
of the Universe—If yon do not already believe
that your accountability is not confined to this
world, as sure us you still exist, you will one day
know if; and von will soon know thar without
the divine me^cy, you must meet eternal pun
ishment—as sure as there is a God.
Prepare then, to meet him face to fare.
Pray! if you ever have, or ever c>n, for his mer
cy; for that only car. avail you now Die you
must cn earth you can expect %o pardon—f*-om
Heaven alone, must you look for it; and there
mav be mercy there, e en for one so vile and
wretched as yourself. But it is to be obtained
only from the infinite mercy of God whom you
have denied; through the meriu«aed internes
sion of the Saviour you have despis+d; and '>y
the influence ot the Holy Spirit, whose aid you
have rejetted. —Full and unfeigned repentance,
is the onlv condition on which it ft vouchsafed
But your heart of stone must he eohyetied to a
Irart of flesh —you must be bro^jffit t*> fee'
abhor, as weH na-to aCknowedg* iyur guilf-IW
through penitence and contrition must your
soul be purified. Be not however deceived;
your only hope of pardon after death, depends
on the sincerity of your repentance before you
die. For in the grave there is neither repen
tancc nor forgiveness. Neither can man ven
ture to assure you of pardon: for God alone can
read yourhea t. Improve,tlv n the time afford
ed you. It will he long enough for every essen
tial purpose of prep..ra ion; but not for encour
aging vain and delusive1*' imaginations, or re
viving lingering regrets, or fallacious expecta
tions. From this instant, consider yourself cut
off from the world and all that therein is; look
only upon your entrance to the next. And at
your final departure, seek not the applause of
men, but humble yourself as it becomes you,
before an offended God AffeCt no1 *he char
acter of an heroic felon, but endeavor to be
have like a Christian; and however contrite and
penitent you may feel, be not deluded into sup
posing yourself a martyr or a saint, but re
member to the last moment of your life, that
you are a malefactor and a sinner.
The sentence of the law is, that you Jesse
Strar.g, otherwise called Joseph Orton,be taken
hence to the place from whence vou came, there
to remain in custody of the sheriff of the county
of Albany, until Friday the 24th day of August,
inst. on which day, between the hours of 12 at
noon and three thereafter, you are to be brought
forth bv the said sheriff to some proper place,
to be by him selected for the purpose, and there
hung by the neck until you aredead—And may
God have mercy on your immortal soul.
