In the Legislature ofI.entucky, on Mon
day the The 4.tl iaei. an amendment WAS a
dopted ioahseonyentions reported by Mr.
Clay ON the subject Of The kentucky oceu-
pant Laws, and Virginia claims, requiring
Virginia TO gnarntce the Submission OF
nan.residenis TO the decision of the con
templated Board Of Commissioners if't he
in favor OF Kentucky, aud offering STINT
lar guarantee Under reverse OF c'rcum
Stances" This amendment, which, If adj
hered to, would have been equivalent 10 Il
r. lection Of the Conventions entered into
by Messrs Clay and Leigh, was afterwards
reconsidefed, aud negotired by a large ma
iority. The state OF kentucky having con-
scented TO the appointment OF Board oil
Commissioners il now only rests with Vlr-
einia 10 aecede TO lhe proposition aud We
have 40 doubt that she will do 40.
The louisville thy.) Advrrtiscry In alln'
sion 10 nm article from our pen, which APP
pearcd in the Yirginian of the 27th Sep
tember, says, that altho' we may be correct
in SAYING that Maine viii support Mr..
Crawford for the next Presidency, we are
IN error IN surprising that gentlenan's
friends 10 he lords of the ascendant" in
Pennsylvania. We spoke altogether from
appearances, aud not from any knoWedgt
we possessed on the subject. The most
influential republican presses in that state
have sent in their adhesion 10 the Secreta-
ny of the Treasury, and we know of no
more certain index of the public sentiments
Mr.. Adams entered into public service
al the age Of eleven years, ms Secretary To
one Of our Foreign Anhassadors-Si
which time, he has been almost constantly
In employment. The Petersburg Inteii-
goncer, noticing the leag,h Of time which
be has devoted TO the service Of the gov
eminent, remarks, that il is nj leest an eyi-
dence of great pliaacy in thai gentleman.
W. think il an evidence Of substantial me.
.rii. We do DOT believe that Mr.. Albums
has ever acted in contradiction to princi-
piles, which he deemed essential 10 the IN
terests or TO the welrbeing of the govern
ment. We are strengthened In this opln-
ion by fact, upon record, which oEtws isns
a whole host Of supPJSitioaS. In the year
1907 I'VE think il wasl question arose in
the Senate of the United States lof which
Mr.. A. was then membcr,) on PROPOSE
ton submitted by Mr.. Jefferson, the then
President, on which much division of sem
Siment existed. Mr.. Adams WAS instruc-
ted by the Legislature of Massachusetts 10
oppose the proposition. This being CON
trary to mis- opinion, hr refused 10 obey the
Instruction, and resigned his ~at, that his
constituents might have au opportunity of
sending SOME person in his place whose o.
pnion conceded with thrir own. We
would ask the lnlclligencer, whether this
was an evidence of Piiancl or of indPea-

.Naro!.-ltis stated in the New York
Mercantile Advertiser, that orders have
been transmitted fro n the Navy Depart
nent To our cruiZers IN the West India
Seas, IN future To avoid going into sickly
ports except in cases OF necessity, aud IN
such cases to remain bu, short period
This measure has probably been taken in
consequence of the great mortality that has
occurred the past season among the crews
Of our vessels of war; and il ia hoped will
have the elect uf preventing the like evil in
future. The British vessels of war on the
same station have sua, red much less by
sickness than our own; the cause has been
Justly attributed to the fart that they have
been much more cautious in their inter
course with slckly places.
tits als1 stated that tie Congress FRI
gate, captain Blddle, has special orders in
regard to the Porto Rieo pr,yateers, which
it is hoped will have tie eject To render our
commerce with the Main less hazardous
than at present.
The Editor of the National Advocate,
who is well acquainted with the rights aud
duties appertaning 10 the Mediterranean
consus, sdyertug to the incident OF our
' ice Consul at Algiers having Withdrawn
himself from his post, in consequence of a
difference with the Dev, says, " In our
eontests with the Barbary States we nave
always put them in the wrong. But, in
this instance, the Dey was right. No Con-
sui should leave his house without his Dro-
goman-the guard appointed BY the Dey.
