| fore the American people, the consciousness of
his violence made him outrageous and he des-
cended TO the laughablc expedicnt of Danish
Ing these dangerous men, who had the inso-
lence to appeal to the sense Of honor and JUS
tee of the people the U. States.
That the General did not consider their resi-
dence as oiotation fthe treaty. spropeG By the
fact that he had for months suffered them To
remain there, and to partake of the hospitality
of his oicn officers.
The only other ground Of such perempto-
ry order was, that they were encouraging dis
affection, and particularly by publishing their
view of the wrongs which their nation had
sustained. These two grounds should be
carefully kept distinct. If the residence of the
aides-dc-camp of Col. Callava was such vio-
lation OF the treaty as to authorize Gen. Jack
sou. torc1oty to remove them, it is one thing
but 1t is with submission very ridiculous pre-
tence. -
Blu; if as strangers, in profound peace, they
had as much right to reside here as any Brit
ish or French officer in service, then we are au-
| thorized TO inquire what authority exists in
| the United States to bGnish from our country,
without trial, any officers in Ureign service?
IT they were stirring up sediton, of which
no fruits have yet appeared, or il their state
ment of facts contained in Jacksons procla-
nation is libel, then like all other men en-
Toying our protection, they were entitled to a
| trict and could not lawfully be removed, till

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIoNs.-John Find
tag has been elected member of the Seven
tteenth Congress, from one of the districts of
Pennsylvania, by majority of ca votes over
4. tNia Iuf.,,
singular mistake ofthe Judges of election in
Cumberland, who, in their ioilicial report, sta
ted Mr.. F's poll in that county TO be fourteen
instead OfJourteen hundred, Mr. M'Culloh will
be returned as elected. That gentleman, how
ever, it is stated, will not attempt to take his
seat, and the erroneous return will, no doubt,
be promptly set aside by the House of Re
representatives..
| Col. Ddrid Chambers is elected member of
the nth Congress; from the 9Th district of o.
, mo, by large majority over lis opponent,
'tir. Patterson.
The seventh attempt has recently been
made, without effect, TO elect member of
Congress for the second district of the state of
Vermont, now vacant. In that state, as in
most of the eastern States majority OF the
whole number of votes AT all elections is ne
cessary to make an election. MAJ. Int.
EonifcGttons.-A late Louisiana Advertiser
contains letter, under date OF September
l0th, from Its correspondent at Washington
city, which, amongst 9th information, gives
| a report, that" the public works at Z oint Com
s. fort had hen entirely demolished, and the
" loss is estimated at 500 coo dollars" This
is very incorrect. We are happy TO state, that
the loss sustained by the important works on
| the Chesapeake, ut Old Point Comfort and
the Rip RaPs, by the hurricane of the Sd OF
September, was very trnng indeed. These
works stood the sea with perfect iirmness, aud
nothing more than few slight sheds were
thrown down. We are also glad to be able TO
state, that the works erecting OH the Gulf of
Mexico suffered but little damage from the vi
client gale which occurred in that quarter on
| the 9Th of September.
| Interior ComnrunicGtion.--It is stated i'm the
| Wheeling Gazette that sir hundred lCagonS
have arrived at that place alone, in the last six
| months, from the Atlantic country, loaded
with merchandise, &c. for our western fel-
low citizens.
This fact places il strong light the inn
mense utility which would flow from uniting
the waters of the Potomac, by a canal and
| short turnpike, with those of the Ohio. The
| ease with which this great work could he ac-
complished has been demonstrated by prac
| teal men. 1t has been demonstrated, also with
'"iiuhCIitdi uulil, lIidt lIle tApeIiSc Oh the
work would III ten years. BIZ reimbursed by the
mere saving on fuel, Exclusive of other pro-
Ducts which would be brought doicn the ca
nal TO this District, not reckoning the supplies
which would be consumed in other places on
the waters ofthe Chesapeake. How benefi-
al,then, and how great would be the profit OF
this communication, when we take into the
estimate the vast amount Of merchandise, of
every description, that would be annually
| transported on 1T from the east TO the west As
an object of lucrative investment, we DO not
know OF any so worthy the attention Ofmoney-
ed mcn-but to the patriot and philanthrOpist
1t presents considerations of still higher nte-
rest For ourselves, we cannot contemplate
without emotion, even through the vista DINA
ny years, an improvement, which will, by an
easy communication, bring the now widely Sc
parated parts of our country together, and as
it were, level the great mountains them
| selves, which seemed TO interpOsc an eternal
barrier between the east and the west. VIII
not some statesman be found, TO earn for him
self lasting hanor, by putting his shoulder
manfully to the wheel in this great work, anC
