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.

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. It is nut
yet known that the pomession of fensatole is coo.
tentplated as a permanent medsure--all the local
authorities of that Ogee continue to be Spanish,
except the Commandant and Collector.

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.

who informed, that so far from leering etperienced anyre-•

flourishing condition. They had lately been reinforced by a
Sue brigade of artillery, composed entirely of British troops,
which rendezvoused at St. Thomas, in New Marta, in March

Camara with all the force he could get together, and

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.
