Mr High F. Parker made a most successful
ascension in a balloon, on Saturday evening

ffouse in Washington. The balloon, the last

iv to find a much more formidable enemy to
her authority in her so much vaunted Constitu
tional Cortex than in the arms of her rival, Don
Carlos. Christine’s fate is hard enough. She,
it would seem, has no choice between a surren
der of her power to the Pretender and a tenure
of it under the full control and vigilant surveil
lance of the Chamber of Procuradores—-an al
ternative in which we surmise she has far too
much of the Bourbon leaven in her to telish.—
If she does not commit herself, she will do bet
ter than we expect from her. So truly has it
been said of Spain, that there should be no me
dium in its government, between absolute des
potism and ultra liberalism.
Translated from the Gazette <te France, Oct. 7.
li There has nut arrived to-day any news from
Naval re. The public await with anxiety the
result of the definitive vote of the Cortes, rela
tive to the loans. All the letters which arrived
yesterday, speak of the integral recognition by
the Cortes ol the three per cents, and the perpe
tual rent.
4* The friends of Christine are extremely un
easy about the conduct ol the Chamber of Pro
curadores, which is becoming more and more
hostile to the ministry, and which does not seem
at all disposed to content itself with judiciary
and administrative reforms.”

LIEU T E N A N T BABBITT.
Our readers are generally aware that a Na
val Court Martial assembled in this town last
week, for the trial of Lieut. Babbitt, on charges
preferred against him by Com. Elliott. Com.
Crane was President of the Board. The char
ges and specifications were of disobedience of
orders, neglect of duty, unofficer-like conduct,
and lastly the uttering of a “ wilful and mali
cious falsehood.” A number of witnesses were
examined in the case, for and against the accu
sed. among them the prosecutor himself.
On Wednesday la>t the defence of Lt. Babbit
was read to the Board, by his counsel, Charles
G. Lormg and Win. K. Grey, Es«|s. This do
cument was a clear and very forcible conside
ration of tie* case, and examination of the evi
dence. It was more powerful and convincing
Hun any similar document we remember ever
to have heard. In reference to the charges al
leged against Lieutenant Babbitt it was entire
ly conclusive, and showed that iw* had discharg
ed eve.'y duty in obedience to orders which had
b**t*n re/ularly given to him. and that his con
duct throughout had been more gentlemanly
and officer ’’ke than that of the prosecutor him
self
h considerate*on of the last charge, that of
tittering a “ wilfi.’l and malicious falsehood,”
the argument was not only conclusive to the m
JDcence of Lieut- Babbitt, but was severe, and
very much a<»;Jnst ‘he veracity of the prosecu
tor.’ It armeirs tn ’*• in ^ivin- *“ ,1|S testimony,
Capt. Elliott.* who haci* tllk™ un oath to tell the
truth, the whole truth, had lo.do so in se/
verui \>rv important instance*^ w^t;e ,n eat 1
instance the testimony n >l gieen l>y ,l>n ",l> en
tirely favorable to the accused. The testimony
B*o>nitteit was obtained from several witi*'‘s>e>,>
an I was that on which Lt. Babbitt mainly re"
lied to prove his innocence. 1
ts iotmt, by his counsel, demeo, mine
f'nir'hritic in inner, the design to impute to (. oin.
Elliott any intention to falsify or disiegard the
tenor of his oath. He would rather impute the
omission to forgetfulness, or any thing else, than
Wrke so serious a charge against any officer of
ta* navy, much less one holding the high rank
*!»•! station of Com. Elliott. The charge against
himself was repelled with force and feeling, in
dicating the high sense of honor of an officer and
of i gentleman. The defence was ahly drawn
UP- and undoubtedly had great weight on the
tttinJs of the Court. Com. Elliott seemed to
oear the force of the argument and the inflic
hon of the conclusions drawn out with great
firtituvle. The effect upon the spectators was
obvimis, and it was very evident to them that
the trial had gone more against the prosecutor
than the accused. The trial and defence, we
learn, will be printed. The decision of the
1 ourt has been forwarded to Washington, from
vherjce it will be made known.

GREAT JACK SON TRIUMPH IN NEW
YORK.
From the New York Commercial.
The defeat of the Constitutionalists is literal
ly overwhelming. With the single exception
of little Richmond, there is not a county be
tween New York and Oneida, which has not
been carried by the Regency, and with few ex
ceptions, by greatly increased majorities—far
outstripping the calculations of the Regency
leaders themselves. New York gives a Jackson
majority of 2337; Suffolk of 1124; Queens 139;
Westchester, 729; Putnam, probably 700; Or
ange, S73; Dutchess, 903; Greene, SOS; Colum
bia, 300; Albany, 100; Saratoga. 200; Renssa
lear, say 100; Ulster, 2100; Delaware, 1350;
Schenectady, 80; Montgomery, Schoharie, Her
kimer,&c., very great Jackson majorities. Thus
far. the Whigs have elected only one member
of Congress, Judge Hunt, of Rensalaer, over
Jot) Pierson.
Marcy will tie re-elected by more than 20,000
majority. Corruption wins more than honesty,
and gold has proved itself all powerful. The
Jackson fever has broken out anew, and has
swept the State like a whirlwind. Let those
who ride upon the tempest direct it.
It is very evident to our minds, that the peo
ple will not awake from their delusion until it is
too late. The scenes in this city during the two
last nights, and on several occasions before the
election, were such as to make the heart sick—
reminding us of the scenes in Paris, before tiie
sans culottes commenced the death-dance of re
volution.
