late date
London, December 10--Replying to
an assertion of the Constitutionel, the min
isterial evening journal asserts, that in the
communications which passed at Washing
ton and Paris between the representatives
of the-French and American governments,
there was no talk of non-intercourse or
war ; all the difference, it says, at present
consists r As to the questions of riht,
which the two governments take in contrary
senses, that of ascertaining now far the
United States governnnnt is obliged to
rive explanations on the subject of the
President's Message. 2. As to a question
of fact, that of ascertaining whether the
explanation offered by VI r. Livingston
previous to the adoption of the law of 17th
June, was or was not of a nature to satisfy
the French Government.
Now (remarks the Petersburg Constel
lation)from this it appears, that the question
is to be re opened, as to whether the expla
nation of Mr Livingston was or was not
sufficient. The Chamber of Deputies de
cided that it was not. But ive learn no
that if General Jackson would declare in
his Message that he acknowledged and
adhered to the explanation given by Mr
Livingston, this wo'uld satisfy the French
government. It is on this, we understand,
that now rest the hope of an accommodation
entertained by the Cabinet of the Tuil
eries.
In giving the news by this arrival, the
Petersburg Constellation ft marks, that
"the most important item of intelligence, it
will be perceived, is from a London Jour
nal, given on the authority of the Paris
Constitutional, in these words : Tnat it
Gen Jackson would declare ii1 his Mes
sage that he acknowledged and adhered to
th ' explanat'on given by Mr. Livingston,
this would s itisfy the French Government
Our readers will all remember that ihe
President did fully endrose Mr. Livingston's
Letter to the Due de Brosr ie in his Last
M est age. For ourselves, we place very
lit'le reliance in the declaration o the
French Paper, although it is a Ministerial
one. We observe that the Washington
Globe publishes all the details without any
comment. Our Correspondent m that City
writes us after the receipt of the present in
telligence as follows: " Nothing farther
has transpired as to French affairs. A mes
senger was despatched to Fran e the early
part of the week with despatches to ensure
from all danger the Mediterranean Fleet,
&e. &c. We have now very little confi
dence in the prof ssions of the French liov
ernment, even when their assurances come
in an official shape ; but coming as we be
fore remarked, unofficially, they vi i 1 no:
throw the Administration, nor should they
throw the people off their guard.
Paris papers of Wednesday the 16th,
Miblish the account which appeared in a
ate number of the Aujrhurg Gazette, of a
proposition made by the United States for a
treaty of Commerce with the German Com
mercial Union. It creates considerable
sensation, and the Moniteur de Commerce
thinks the treaty very probable.
It will be recollected that there was a ru
mor a few weeks since, that Great Britain
had offered to mediate between France and
thi country this is now denied but it is
admitted that Lord Grenville offered the
good services of Great Britain for pacific
ends.
A r&f&t prevailed at Paris on Friday
that thj Duke de Brog.'ie was about to re
tire from the Ministry, " on account of his
opposition, says tne iriessager, to tlie pro-J
fosal of accepting the mediation of Eng
and in the difference of France and the
United States Th'e Duke de Broglie
maintains that France is sufficiently power
ful to regulate her own affairs, without the
mediation of any foreign State."

ILLINOIS SENATOR.
We learn trom ihe Washington Globe, that, on
the29ih ult. the legislature of Illinois elected
Gen W. L.D. Ewing, Senator in Congress from
that S:ate in place of Hon. E. it. Kane, dee'd.
Messrs Ewmg, Semple, Jenkins aud Young,
were candidates; the two latter having, alter
several ballotings, withdrawn from the contest
ou the 12in balloting, Ewmg received 40 and
Semple 37 votes. All four candidates were in
favor of the Administration aud the Baltimore
nominations.
Gen Ewings election is said to be highly gra
tifying to the friends of democracy, and particu
larly so to the Illinois delegation in the House ol
Representatives. So insignificant is the strength
of the allied whigs in Illinois, that they did not
venture to start a candidate for Senator.
HOtf IS THE FACT?
It seems as though the opposition would never
cease to charge the Jackson Van Buren oartv
in our Legislature with being influenced by par
tizan feehngin their selection of State officers
If a stranger were to judge from their wailings
on the subject, he might readily infer that not a
single whig nor nuliifier had been put in office
by the Jackson Van Buren Legislatures of 1S34
und 1835 Now, to correct any such erroneous
impressions, we will state the following facts :
At tbe session ot the General Assembly of 1834,
constituted of a decided majority ofjackson Van
Buren men. there were elected a Governor. Trea-.
surer, Comptroller Attorney General, and Pub
lic Printer; three whigs, and two democrats.
Does this Icok like proscription ?
At the session of 1835, at which there was
likewise a decided majority of Jackson Van Bu
ren members, there were elected a Governor,
Secretary of State, Treasurer, Comptroller, two
Judges, three Solicitors and a Public Printer ;
of these, four are Jackson Van Buren, aud SIX
whigs or nullifiers : And does this look like par
ty proscription?
Now, is there a single candid man of the op
position, who has auy doubt, if their party had
been in a majority, but what every Van Buren
man would have been excluded from office ?
The Fayetfeville Observer, aud others of the
whig preis, affect to be greatly shocked at our
declaration, that Judge Saunders' elecion was
a party triumph. We repeat, that it was a. sig
nal triumph, of merit over party ho.Mituy. Is
there an honest man in rbe opposition pany, ac
quainted with the qualifications of both Judge
Saunders and Mr. Alexander, who can say the
.former is not, in every respect, ihe best suited
to fill the station ? If .the former be a zealous
politician, so is the latter. And we know that
Judge Sauuders' election was resisted on party
grounds; and being therefore made a parly con
test by ihe opposition themselves, it was most as
suredly a party triumph, it may not have been
known to the Editor of the Observer, but such
was the fact, thai the nomination of Juoge
Saunders was met in the House of Commons by
violent denunciations. f We must be?u him,"
; his election will be as annoying to us, as that
of Van Buren himself," and such like expres
sions, escaped from the opposition ; and their
violent efforts to prejudice the.Judge's own party
against mm, correspona.-a wun tnese expres
sions. For our part, we think the Jacks n Van Bu
ren party are too liberal towards .heir political
opponents. Noihing can satisfy the whigs and
nullfiers short of the unconu oiled possession
of all the offices and patronage of the Govern
ment.
POLITICAL TRICKERY. It appears that
the White-whig members ot the Illinois Senate.
taking advautage of an accidental absence ot
several ot the Democratic members, got up re
solutions abusive ol Mr.. Van Buren, aud lamia
tory ot Judge White; aud hurried them through
that body, before the absent members had re
turned to their scats But it now appears by a
ietiei in the Globe, written from Vaudalia by a
member of the Legislature, tba; tne absent de
mocratic membeis having resumed tneir seats
were indignant at so low a trick ; and were deter
mined either to expunge Irom their journals a re-
soi u ion so unworthily passed by stealth ami
stratagem, or to introduce and pass a joint reso
lution to the contrary
This species of political craft, appears to be
charactei istic of modern whiggery. On the last
night of the session of our legislature, the same
game was attempted to be played off by that
party, in regard to their political laud scheme. A
considerable numbci oi the JJemocratic mem
bers having left the House, preparatory to de
parting for home next morning, ihe uhigsseized
the occasion to send out runners, and brmg in
their scattered forces ; and then moved and car
ried a le-consideration of ihe vote of the House
indefinitely postponing ihe whole subject. But
an adjournment having taken place until morn
ing, both parlies then rallied, the uhjgs still con
fident of succeeding in their designs. On the
yeas ami nays being called, however ihe whole
matter was again indefinitely postponed, ayes
54, noes 43
Such an elongation of whig phizes a3 were ex
hibited in :he Commons Hall, on the annuncia
tion of this vote, we never before saw! Their
landschtme, was their darlim; hobby of ihe csion.
It was the only one of ail the tratagemsby wnicii
they bad hoped to break in upon th rnks of the
Democracy, and deceive and estrange credulous
Republicans from their puncipiesau ! the rparty.

been chagrined and rhop-ia.ieu at thi- miserable
iailuieof iheir only remaining sch-me to sustain
themselves and their pic-buld party 's h pes, be

GOOD NEWS fm PENNSYLVANIA.
The following note, which we have re
ceived from a friend at Harrishurg, is an
earnest of a restoration of the democracy
of the great republican central common
wealth, to its wonted supremacy in the
State, and its just weight and influence
r.mong the States of the Union. The adop
tion, by the friends of General Muhlenburg,
of the electoral ticket nominated by those of
(jovernor Wolf, re-unttesthe strength of the
democracy, and renders it invincible- The
mvnoriiy Administration now holding the
reins of Government in the State, has its days
numbered, and the Baltimore nomination
carries with it, the whole moral influence
which the anticipated support of Pennsyl
vania necessarily confers.

failed to give any .portion of the speeches deliv

the meeting was edified by a harangue from the

able Patriot whom a grateful people have called
to the Chief Magistracy of the nation, that the
freemen of Orange county have a right to know
what their late representative did say, in order to
judge whether his language and seniimems at
Raleigh, accord with his declarations and pro
fessions of no-partyism at home. In the name of
the Republicans ot Orange county, then, we call
for Mr. Waddsll's speech- anA the WHOLE

and we presume intends publishing it ; and as
the, people of Orange want a faithful report, we
shall feel tempted to give our own three minutes
recollections, should the Editor of the Register see
fit to prune the speech ol its strong expressions
against Jackson and his Administration.
The Faytlteville Journal has been enlarged and
improved, and is now equal in size with any
paper in the Stale. The Journal is ably con
ducted, is staunchly democratic in its course, and
an efficient auxiliary in the Republican ranks

COUNCIL OE STATE
The Executive Council met in this City,
last week, in obedience to the r- quisition of
Gov. Spa. ght, to advise with him in rela
tion to a casus omissus in the Act of Assem
bly regulating the election of Public Trea
surer. That Act provides that the Trea
surer elect, "within fiflen d:iys after his
election, shall give duplicate bonds to the
Governor, with securieties to be approved,
&c." but "if any person elected Treasurer
shall fail to give such bond within the ;ime
prescribed, and the Legislature shall riot
the;i be in session, it shall be the duty ol
the Governor to call the Council of State,
and proceed to appoint some other person
Treasurer," &c.
Gen. Patterson, the Treasurer elect, is
from Wdkes county, whither his bonds
were sent for tho signature of his securi
ties, and, owing to some derangement of
the mail, they did not come to hand until
seven', een days had elapsed after his elec
tion by the Legislature. According to the
const; uction put upon the Act of Assembly,
by the Governor, and other legal gentle
men, it was not competent for the Gover
nor to receive his bonds, and the Council
were called together to remedy the defect in
the Act The Legislature evidently intend
ed to provide for cases only, in which an
individual might be elected who could not
give satisfactory bonds ; though the Act is
certainly loosely worded.
Only four of the Council attended, viz :
Daniel Turner, of Warren, Louis D; Hen
ry, of Fayettevil Ie, Georgt Williamson, of
Caswell and Allen Rogers, sen. of Wake.
Governor Spaight nominated for the ap
pointment the Treasurer elect, Gen. Pat

to you, that I coucluded a Treaty with the people
of the Cherokee Nation, in General Council as
sembled, at New Echota, Ga. Dec. 29:h, 1835.
Fhe Treaty provides for the removal of the In

peaceable enjoyment of their possessions during
this time. It also provides for tbe immediate
survey of the lands, and pre-emption rights to
such heads of Cherokee families as desire lo live
in the States of Alabama, Tennessee and North

members of Society. Ihe other provisions ol
the Treaty are not materially different fro.ri the
propositions drawn up at Washington last win

FLORIDA WAR. A letter to the Editor of
the Savannah Georgian, dated at Picolata, 7th
Jan. says the accounts are truly distressing
General Thompson, the Indian Agent, formerly a
member of Congress from thjp State, has been mur
dered by the Indians, being pierced by fifteen balls.
Lieut. Consiantine Smith oi ihe U.S. 'Army, and
E. Rogers, the Postmaster at the Agency, were
also victims of the surprise. ' The situation of the
country is such as to call tor prompt measures for
its defence.
Battle of Wtthlacochee.We find the following
additional particulars in the Savannah Georgian,
derived from unquestionable authority :
About the same time that the regular troops
crossed the river, three hundred ofthe militia
volunteers nnder Gen. Call crossed in the same
place the former were formed in order of battle
as fasi as they landed : the latter troops however,
were not displayed, but remained huddled to
gethe on the margin of the river about 300 yards
from "e scene of action. As soon as the first
shot t. as fired, ihe miltia were panic-struck and
fled precipitately over the river, one of their cap
tains leading the way and losing his musket in
the passage some twenty of the miliua remain
ed and fought gallantly. :0
During the action, which lasted one hour and
filieen minutes, the yelling ot the savages was
incessant, and somewhat appalling : ten times
their number of civilized enemies in an open
field would not have been so formidable The
regulars were compelledto watch their oppor
tunity ana tire Dy vollies whenever they saw a
flash from the thicket. Not a soldier engaged
left his ground, not even under the plea ot taking
away the wounded. The number of the enemy
killed and wounded was not ascertained. Our
killed were interred, and fires built over their
graves, so ihat the Indians obtained no scalps.
The action was a very severe one, as is evident,
from the tact that more than a quarter of the
whole command was killed or wounded, of the
latter, lour mortally. The horse of Col. Fannin
received two shots in his "body.
1 he following particulars are from a Volun
teer who was m the action.
Col. Fannin marched his men to the hammock,
and received a tremendous fire from the Indians.
Col. F returned the fire, and charged the
Hammock : by this time about 25 of the Volun
teers came up to the battle ground from the
river Lien, timcn men also came up, again
charged the Hammock, and the Indians were
dispersed. 14 dead Indians were discovered,
but no doubt many more, (supposed 50,) who
were removed, as the slaughter must have been
dreadful among them, the regulars having
fired 1000 rounds of ball and buck shot during
ihe action. A small party of Indian had fired
on the Volunteers on the banks of the With
lacoochee, which was returned, and 8 Indians
were found dead. The action between the Regu
lars lasted about 70 minutes, 4 Regulars killed,
56 wounded ; ot" Volunteers 4 wounded Gen.
Clinch received in his cap and clothing several
shots, and his horse received 2 shots. The bat
tle ground was peculiarly favorable for the In
dians.
Late in the day Gen. Clinch finding no good
ground for his camp, determined to recross tbe
river, and did so in good order, and reached
Fort Crane on the 2d January. All the Volun
t ers immediately returned home, their time ol
service "having expired.
Capt. W. M. Graham of the army was badly
wounded in the shoulder and leg. Lieut. Ridge,
ly received a wound in the arm. Lieut.
C Graham had command of his company, and,
after he fell, the command devolved upon the
first sergeant (there being no other commission
ed officer) who gallantly led the men t the
charge. Major Lytle, acting as aid to Gen.
Clinch, had his horse shot under him. Col. War
ren of the Volunteers, received a severe wound
in his breast, and his horse received several
shots. Dr. Clarke, also, had his horse shot un
der him.
