L ECTION OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES.

With respect to those who will probably he candidate* for the
high office of !'resident of the United States, we believe the eke-
tiun will lie entirtly between General Jackson and Mr Adams.
with respect to General Jackson's public conduct, we hive been

and if the old hero should still continue to be the en .11 we hare al-

The Harlequin sloop of war, arrived at Port Royal on Tuesday
evening corn Citagres, last Carthagena, three daya. Me. Dawkins,
the liri:dh Commiasioner, arrived in health. The Congress had
broken up at Panama on the 211 of July. to re-assemble in the
city of Mexico. The American !Madder, Mr. Anderson, died on
his pas-age to Panama.
In con.q.plence of scme suspicions created by false rumours. of
an intended insurrection of na tant,. several respectable
had been arreteed anti imprisoned, and martial law proclaimed, and
continued fur five days ; it baring, on investigation, been found.
that the rumours wrre unfounded, the parties were librated, and
every thing was quiet, by the last accounts received from Panama
at Chagas.

Auc trr 12:

By letter' from Panama, down to the 24. h Olt.,vreferrnihat
the Genend Congress of America, after having executed various of
the Acts wilLin the ranee of its attributes, resolved, on the ground
of C.llllllOll utility, to remove to Facubaya, wan in the United
Stat..:S of Mexico ; each legation having commissioned one of their
members kr their respective Governments, to inform them of the
fact, and obtain their corresponding approbation. The 24th was
the day appointed for the departure of those who were to proceed to
Facubaya.
• By the 4me conveyance we are assured, that the Liberator Boli•
var would, without any doubt, be in Colombia in all this month ;
and that the mute of martial law in the Isthmus had di.appeared
and it had speedily been restored to its antecedent state. A vaga-
bond, says the letter, in order to prolong for a few days his ex-
istence, which he was about to terminate upon the gallows, an-
trounced to the Liberator, a very extensive conspiracy the Isth-
-11111%, comprehending matte persons of character, and of which he
was himself the centre. The Liberator communic.sted this to the
Chief of the Province, who proceeded as prudence requited on such
a subject, and in the mad ascertained that it was an atrocious ca-
lumny, suggested, as has been *heady mentioned, by the base soul
of a malefactor, with a view to the preservation of his life fur a shor
time longer.
