FROM FRANCE.

BY the ship Draper, from Havre, we
have received from our correspondent a
file of Galigman's Paris Paper to Sd OF
May, the extracts from which, though
not of late date, are still of interest.
Nc.grohont, an important Island in the
Levant, has been taken by the Greeks,
after several hard fought battles, in
which they were assisted by the troops
of the Peloponnessus. A large sum oil
money sent by the Porte to Chourchid
Pacha has been intercepted by the in
habitants of Longonco.
The Greeks appear on all sides to be
gaining ground. The provisional go
yerpment is removed from Argos, to CO.
rihth and has issued declaration OF In
dependence, and promulgated new
Constitution. Corinth is the centre and
key of Greece.
The preparations for war between
Russia and Turkey are still vigorously
progressing, Europeans at Constantine
pls were gradually embarking.
At Constantinople an embargo has
been laid on all turkish vessels trading
to the mouth of the Danube.
The Russian 0otlla stationed in the
Danube had sailed from Ismael, and is
now al Rcni, at the confluence of the
Prnth and Danube. Russian Pontoons
transported by land, were daily arriv-

In Spain the Cortes has adopted the

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

Foreign Interference in our Elections.
If any man doubt the interference,
and dictation in our Congressional cleo
ton, by persons residing out of the state,
he may be fully satisfied of recent in
stance in this neighborhood, in the case
ola gentleman from Mary land, who left
Edwardsvilie, on the 4th inst. on his way
to Belleville. The fact can be establish
ed by a gentleman of as undoubted vera
city as any 10 the state, whose name is
left with the Editor of the Spectator.
The truth is that Mr.Cook by ferret
ing out abuses in the Treasury Depart
mem OF the United States by exposing
its mismanagement of the public fnan-
ces; its unauthorized and Illegal loans
q" in the shape of deposit" of the peoples
money, TO broken banks; and the I'M
mense losses that must result therefrom
has drawn down upon himself all the
vengeance of disappointed ambition
and hence it IS that he is to be prosecuted,
and hunted down by those very disinle-
rested foreigners, who have the impu-
dence to suppose they can dupe the free
men OF Illinois to their purposes.
His constituents however, are not
made Of such supple stuff, they are not
willing that their money should be il
legally squandered upon broken banks
they would not wish their representa-
tive to wink at such abuses, but would
rather applaud that firmness, which did
not permit him to shrink, even, from
taking ",he bull by the horns," as one
of the friends of the Secretary expressed
ii.
That those abuses had taken place is
incontestbly established by the docu-
mems printed at the last session Of Con-
greys. No one can justify them. Can
1t then be an objection to our representa-
tive that he endeavored to correct them !
And can any man who has the noble
pride OF freeman in him, regard this
presumptuous dictation, and offieious in
ternedding Of foreigners, as meriting
less than the most indignant contempt.
Let us manage our own affairs, in our
own way. We want no foreign guardians
to take charge of us--no emissaries to
direct us what to do. So, at least l
should think. A. B.

to them till this late period? The state
ment however, is neither true, nor is
there the least apology for its falshood.
The journal of the proceedings of the
House of Representatives upon that sub
lect so far from establishing the fact al
legged, actually shows Mr.. Cooks efforts
to obtain the best possible terms for his
constituents, as may be seen at the office
of the "Spectator. What can honest
men think of such means to obtain sue
cess
Hereafter it shall be proved by the
journal of the House of Representatives
that Mr.. Cook himself, moved TO reduce
the price of land from TWO DOLLARS to
ONE DOLLAR AND TWENTY-FIVE GENTS
per acre. VIVA, then, can this Shaw
neetown patriot say for himself! What
can bis friends say for him, to redeem
him from the indelible disgrace OF hav-
ing published wicked and malicious
ialshood ? a CITIZEN.

Of the Usage Nation of Indians having

Men, and Warriors of The Cherokee
Nation, to meet them at the United
States Garrison, at Belle Point, to hold
!, great Talk, for the purpose of bury
ing the lomahawt, and making firm
lad lasting treaty of peace and friend

Mn. PRINTER,

Mn. PRINTER,
observe in the !" Illinois Gazette" Of
the 22d June, an essay signed " Brutus,"
whose object would seem to be, to make
an unfayorabe impression on the minds
of the electors of this state towards our
present member of Congress.
That a man who has served us with
zeal and interest, for three sessions,
should have committed no kind or mis-
take, | shall not pretend TO say-and |
will ask the mighty 4" Brutus" who could
be found, in the bounds of this, or any
other state, to serve three years in Con-
gress, with any kind of activity, without
~ aking some enemies The man whom
this writer and his coadlutors mean to
support, in exclusion of Mr. Cook, served
but one session in Congress, and notwith-
standing that he never made a speech,
drafted bill. or was appointed on sin
gle committee--yet in consequence Of a
solitary vote which he gave in the house,
was hurled Indignantly from his seat,
and reduced to a private station How
much more apt would he have been to
fall considering his limited abilities) had
he have undertaken to advocate any mea.
sure, whether right or wrong!
l cannot agree with Mr.. Brutus,"
that young member ought to be silent,
and leave it to the old ones to STEAK. The
state of Illinois is entitled to but one
and she has great many rights 10 guard,
and interests to be secured. Are these
to be left to member who is incapable
or unwilling to speak? l presume not.
True, few members whom we have here
tofore sent, have Showed much zeal for
for any other interests than those of Mis-
souri, and the southern dynasty. Whe-
Their this was done by speaking or voting,
It amounts to the same thing. The in
tention was bad, and contrary to the good
of our own state. Then are we to dis
charge a, man from the councils of our
nation, merely because he takes too ac-
tive part for our benefit, and because a
few interested men assert that he is too
meddlespme in Congress What comes
before that body, is the business of every
member alike. Our state having but
one, that one would not act honestly to-
wards his constituents, did he not use all
the talents which nature has endowed
him With, to aid, not only the particular
interests of his own state, but those OF the
union at large. Were we entitled to as
many members as Ohio or Pennsylvania,

This place more resembled from

or fall. A great many have not closed

injured. Thus has terminated an affair
which has for months past occupied a
considerable portion of the public at
tention throughout the union, and which,
from the high standing oil the individuals,
has excited intense interest. All, VIC be-
lieve, have felt, that whichever might
escape from the contest, the public, in
the deprivation OF the talents Of either,
would be serious loser.

soon as they shall be informed of the
Cherokee chiefs agreeing TO the propo-
sitions submitted TO them upon the sub
lect of peace, TO despatch runners forth
with and recall all their war parties tn at

nation, and to instruct them not to pass

warriors bind themselves to send run
ners and have them recalled without de-
lay, and instructed not to pass beyond
the frontier limits of the Cherokee ma

against the Osages, unless they shall be
themselves attacked on their own
ground.
.4rt. A. If any mischief should be
done by either ofthe two contracting par
ties, TO this people of the other party, by
any party or parties that may, at this
time, be out to war, and before they
shall be recalled, (provided all due dill
genoe be made to recall them, if the
mischief should extend tc the taking C.
life, it is not to be so construed by either
party as to prevent the aforesaid meet
ing a; the Garrison, for the purpose Of
endeavoring to make treaty of peace
and friendship; if it should extend
merely to the taking of property of any
description, each nation respectively
pledges itself that such property shall
be returned to the party from which ii
was taken.
.Art 5. The great talk proposed to
be held at the Garrison, is to take place
with the least possible delay. The Usage
sub-agent is 10 allow the Usage chiefs
a reasonable time to get from their re-
speclive villages TO the Garrison and
he is to notify the Cherokee chiefs OF the
time the talk is TO be held.

parties should violate any Of the fore
going articles, they pledge themselves
to allow and permit the government OF
the United States to punish the agrees
sor in such manner as il shall deem pro-
per, without such act being considered
by the party SO violating these articles,
an act of hostility, or the least violation
Of the good faith and friendship which
at present exists between them, the L.
States and said party.

OH May, 1922, and is signed by l8

day of July next for the meeting in coun-
Gil of the Chiefs, SC. of the respective
nations, at For, Smith, aud the Sub
Agent has notified the Cherokees Of the
same.
This has indeed been troublesome
and yeXatious business to Mr.. Philbrook,
to whose interchangeable industry and per-
scvererce is all the credit due of con
Guiding tie foregoing Armis;Ice, which,
fer humanity's sake, We sincerely hope
will result in firm aud lasting peace
between the Two conlending parties.
