Frost the Nashville Clarion, June 30. The southern campaign has closed, and Major. General Andrew Jackson and :Mir arrived at Nash ville on Sunday evening, 28th in►t. So soon as it was known that the General was approaching the town, a large collection of the most respectable citizens in the place assembled mid met him about three miles from Nashville; Major•Generil Wm. Carroll, Major John 11. Eaton, and Thomas Clair borne, El. were appointed a deputation on the part of the citizens to meet the General and welcome his return. The General, with the whole of his staff, accom panied by the deputation, and followed by his life gored, proceeded forward and was soon after saint. ed by the citizens en kbilebliCk, Oioleine'd in 'cession in the te , ..tr of the . /(fit guard. and the w 'moved in regular order to the town. Preportal had been previously made by the citizen. ; and the General entered the public Square under a discharge or artillery. He then proceeded to the Nashville le,, where he was surrounded by a general con course of people, who came to greet the warrior's safe return." From the glow of animation diffused on every countenance, the General received the dearest owed of his great milita►y takdo, iu learning'from these 'unerring testimonials, that he enjoys the confidence and lives in the affections of 'h i s fellow-citizens. 74M YORK, Juty Don Dais has had an iuterview' with the Secre. tory of State, relative to the occupation of Pensa cola, the result cif Which has not transpired.

JULY 21. An impression has gone abroad, since the Presi dent's return oh Tuesday last, and the subsequent deliberations of the Cabinet on Gen Jackson's dis patches, that Pensacola will continue, for the present, to be held in the occupation of the Unittd States troops; that the General's movements in Florida were coiftidered as justifiable by the existing treaties, us well the critical circumstances which led him to attempt the extirpation or an inveterate enemy from our borders . ; and that affairs in this-quarter will probably renraint►t state quo till the subject is laid before Congress, if further provocation, in the mein time, does not demand more energetic thew. sures 'to secure frontier tranquillity.—( Walk. C. Gariqte.) JULY 23. I do repeat that the capture of Pensacola is not a declaration of war against Spain : that war was declared by the authorities of Pensacola, in arming the Indians against us, and we only retaliated, fit:grants bello. It Spain justifies the course pur sued by the colony; she then becomes a party concerned. If the tlovernor of Lower Canada equips an army of Indians at Montreal, who sally ' forth into our lines, burn our property and Massacre our inhabitants, are we not au thorised, when pursuing them, to march' to their lead-quarters, to which they ha►re retreated, and wrest it from them ? Mr. Coleman states, that iro war could be constitutional that is not declared by Congress. That ground he must abandon-, as war, darhig the recess of Congress, may be retaliatory, and constitutionally waged, as iu the present in stm►ce. Threkolke, Noloa, Joly 10.

Anxious to hear some fur. ther particulars of the defeat, or rather total disper sive of the Patriots, as reported in a letter received at Philadelphia, from St. Thomas, of June leth—and know. ing that the Congress must bring the latest advice, from the Main, we made particular inquiries of several of the gentlemen from the Congress upon the subject, who informed, that so far from leering etperienced anyre-• cent reveries, the affairs of the Patriots were never is a more flourishing condition.

WILMINGTON (DEL.), JULY 114. LIGHT IN THE SOUTH !--During the short but interesting conversations we have had with several gentlemen arrived in the Congress frigate. two facts have been mentioned which afford us the highest gratification. 1. The people of Buenos Ayres. especially. are directing the most diligent attention towards the establishment of a gctieral system of .~ 'edication. 4. They hart 'now in s train of trans* lotion, to be disseibitated 'generally, a selection of the'revolutionfiry and such other political writings of di:* country as may have a tendency to infuse tile spirit of the North Americans into the popular mind. This is a radical beginning—it spet;lts volumes, and is of itself inifficient to place the 'successful result of their struggle beyond all rstiolial doubt. also learn, that the people of that'cuutitry look up to the North Americans with the liveliest admiration and most ardent solicitude. That oar acknow ledged influence is such, that we cduld mould their character to the utmost of their susceptibility. What an irresistible call 'is this upon our energies and our magnanimity ! In our opiiii ~,,, it is now next to certain, that the report of the Commissioners must furnish the de siderata required by obr people and Government for the acknowledgment of the independence, at least of Buenos Ayres, Chili, hnd 'Venezuela. What in interesting season approaches for our Repre. sentatises ! tt'hat a distinguished and splendid era of history is at hand ! Next to the glory of the Congress of P 776, in signing oar own Declaration 'of Independence, will be that of the fifteenth Con gress, in embracing a first-born sister, and light. ning her path to the hippinesa which we have at tained. .111AMBURGH, MAT 18. We have received from Algiers the following in 'teresting and remarkable account : LETTER 'ROM ALGIERS, MARCH 5. The present Dry, floussin, is a good man ; he wits one of the four Ministers, Master of the Aortic, or, as They call him, " Chodgia de Cavallo. ;" and on thb death of the late tyrant, was elected by the Divan, which has not been the case for these twenty years, as the six Paellas before Aly," were murdered by the rebellious soldiery. This election, which took place in the most pekeefitl thornier, has been attended with no bloodshed, nor has any one been banished ; on the other hand, several indivi duals who were banished under Omar Packs, as dis turbers of the peace, are recalled, and ha►e ob- Wired important offices. Time mast skew whether these persons will take warning from the lesson , they have already received, or will set on foot new conspiracies. The Ist of Mardi, this year, the day of Aly Pacha's death, will be ever memorably in the an nals of Algiers. That tyrant had still many ruinous projects and cr'nelties in 'contemplation, which were to have been shortly carried into effect. Thus there was foetid in his pocket-book the following memorandum, written by himself; " roe daughter of the English Consul, a very pretty and sensible girl, fifteen years old, and the sister of the Dutch Consist, who is handsome and accomplished, shall he carried by force Out of theiehoinies, compelled to change their reli. glon, and to be the Dey's mistresses The daughter of the Spanish Consul, who is not so handsome, shall be watched and kept In reserve. The English Consul, the Spanish tort oni, and a Jew, named ilensamoo, who is under English pro tection, and w►o had been already compelled to assume the twins, shall be beheaded!' The day for the execution of this horrid plan was not vet fixed. The Day seemed to waver in his mind. and disposed to wait, till he saw whether the Consuls would submit to have their houses (which, according to the treaties, are to be consi dered as harems) broken into and plundered, or whether they would make any resistance; in this last case they were to be cut to• pieces. - iHetraw clearly that such cruelties would not pass, without notice, and said often- , -" The Christians will pro. bably come and bombard me N little, but I shall find means to make any peace." Aly was not destitute of talents; but he was some time like one raving, or like a famished tiger or li!arna; at an earlier period of his life. he had been confined in the mad-house in the city. If lie had continued to live, there is every appearance that all the foreign Consuls, and the few other Europeans resident here, would have been put to death. The plague still carries off between fifty and sixty persons daily. LETTER FROM ALGIERS. APRIL 6. Since the death of Aly, there Ims beers only one execution here; it was that of Isis brother-iu-law, an Arab i of the name of Hadgi Mustapha, and his brother, a youth of thirteen years of age; they were both tortured for fourteen days, in various ways, gut ao sleep, and Hadgi was most severely bastinadued. He received, first. 1,000 strokes, and after that. four or 500 daily. After he bad received 4,500 strokes, in this manner, lie was seut home, where he died two days after, and his brother, who was treated in the saute manner, shortly after. The Turks feared this family very much, and have therefore extirpated it. We daily see here drunken armed Turks, in troops of six or twelve men, roving about the city and the environs, to plunder the poor Arabs who are attacked by the plague. The plague has not increased here, but it has spread towards the west, and extended to the two large towns of Oran and Mascara. The whole ter ritory of Algiers suffers under this dreadful disease; there are plenty of lienple to be seen in the streets. Upon a little excursion which I made on horseback. I met with au incredible number of graves, both on the highways seed in the fields. In trio country houses next mine seventeen persons have died, and only three remain alive. It is uncertain whether the Algerine cors a i rs w ill go to sea or not ; people say no; howev‘r, the :` pipers requisite for a cruise have been demanded of the Conids. How little reliance can be placed nn Algeria! friendship appears from an official notice just pub. lished, according to which the Government has seized upon a Genoese brig that was lying in the harbour here, notwithstanding all the remonstrances of the Sardinian Vice-Consul. The brig ha. been sent to Alexandria with pilgrims, who are going to Mecca. THE BRITISH PIO!;S Si ~~~ LON DON. TUESDAY, SErremaez I, 181 t. TIIE QUEEN. Yesterday the report of her AlasEsnes was-- " The QEEN bat Dot bad a good tied, and 1. 110 ..) well as yesterday. •' Kew Palace, August 31." New York and other American Papers to the ilgth ult. have arrived at our Office. We looked to them with anxiety for some official intimation of the sentiments entertained by the Government of the United Stater, respecting the seizure of Pen sacola; but on this important point silence is care fully observed. The manifesto, which is to rival that written by GIBBON against France, has not yet made its appearance. If, however, we may he permitted to regard the tone of the greater pan of the American Papers, as an indication of the feel. logs of a considerable body of the inhabitants of the United States, there can be no doubt that General JACKSON'S exploits are highly popular among his fellow-citizens. The General himself has been received in Nashville and other towns, by the inhabitants, witb the most distinguishing marks of esteem, and from this and other means of esti mating the public minct, it is very evident that the conquest of the Florida, is an object so dear to the majority of the citizens of the Union, that they would feel but little delicacy about the means i f obtaining it. This principle, indeed, is openly avowed by several writers in the leading Print.,— They argue, that the United States, hong nlacial by any act in a state of war with Spoil', the mile consideration for their Government is to maintain the adVantsge which circumstances may have given them, without wasting oue thought upon the in justice or itnpohey of the original act. This in. tick of international law is quite consonant with tome others which, in the course of the late wars and the discussions preceding it, the American jurists thought proper to advance. The system of which it forms a part must prove extremely con venient for an aspiring ambitious State, that le solves to own no law but its own advancement, no principle but such as will suit the peculiat nature of its own concerns. It matters little whether it may have received the sanction of other States, or have been advocated by those dis tinguished writers, to whose opinions mankind in general bow in reverence and submission. Urged in presumption, it will, no doubt, be supported by obstinacy ; and violence will ever .be ready to pre serve. whattreachery has been active in acquiring. But although the Cabinet of Washington Ite hitherto declined a public expression of its sent. pleas respecting this affair, no one can reasonable entertain a doubt of the conquest's being accepto ble, while the' flag of the Union is permitted to float over the walls of Pensacola. This one eir• cumatance affords good presumptive evidence that General Jscasori had not ventured upon this Dq gression without the instructions of Lis own Govern ment. It is indeed pretended that the seizure of Pensacola was not an act of offensive war, but merely one of retaliation, and that the war had previously commenced by the outrages of tit? Indians against the citizens of the United States, and by the protection and assistance affinded to the Indian tribes by Spain. That disputer had existed between the native tribes and the intru sive settlers upon their lands—that outragi s had been committed by each upon the other—that mail:. lives had been lost both in open combat alai In assassination—and that these massacres had been accompanied by circumstances of great bar harii3, cannot, we fear, be denied. But who that knows am thing of the character of the American borderer•. will assert that they are less likely than their sato gonists to commit outrages, to plunder and mar. der, and even to tear from their victim the reeking scalp, and to exult in their savage triumph•' Who the first aggressors may have been in the affairs alluded to by the United States' Jour- Maa s we cannot pretend to say, because a , are not apprised of the perticalar period which they are disposed to examine the con duct of the two parties; but we catinot by ail-- taken in saying that they had mcst need of p'' tience and forbearance who were from time time driven from their native settlements, who se! , circumscribed by a more powerful neighbour I. their means of supporting exi•trnce, oils weic constantly betrayed and opprtsstil, ai..l in 'tar" lug to resent an injury, only afforded Hi' .s -cuse for being treated with Men ;lard fa ut,!o . • Thar.
