Legislative proceedings Of Saturday las, il will
he seen that another preamble and resolution
was introduced into the House Of Commons.
on that day, by Mr.. Iredell, disappearing and
protesting IN the name Of the LEGISLATURE
against cauchs nomination for President and
Wee President of the United States The
same fate however awaited this Prranbl. and
resolution, which experienced hy lis pre-
cursor. was indefinitely postponed, rs
votes to SO.
We presume il may now he clearly inferred:
from the decisions which have been made by
the House of Commons, that onrY Legislaiure
VIII neither interfere with the course hereto
fore pursued al Washington. in relation 10 n
nomination OF a candidate for the Presidency
nor with our present Electoral Law. And to
us, u as clearly appears that majority ofthe
Legislature are in favor of Mr. Crawford's
election to the Presidency. fReeiSfsr.
The account of a wonderful dispensati0n'
al Tampico, which is pretty generally circna-
ted 10 the greater part of our daily journals
may justly be considered as MISREPRESENTATION.
Captain Gregory Of the u. s. schooner Gram
pus, left Tampico on the 91st Of October. In
a sudden flaw Of wind from the northward. the
THERMOMETERS fell rapidly 30 degrees, and in
less than two hours 16 oftbe Grampus's crew
sickened. The Grampus soon left the port,
and when 90 Leagues from the land, found
new and reviving atmosphere, which restored
all the sick excepting Mr.. Somegby, the pur-
ser, who died two days after--thus much for
the story of an United States schooner having
lost g men. There is little doubt that the
story of 500 persons, having died ut Tampico,
is entitled to equal credit with that relating to
the GTampus, when it is known that the whole
population does not much exceed 1890 per-
sons, the most Of whom are accustomed To
similar sudden changes in the temperature Of
me climate. Bali. Fed. Goz.

FROM SMYRNA.

Papers to the l4th of August are re-
ceived at the American office, Baltimore.
by The brig Torpedo, Capt. Chandler.
Capt. L, states that the Greeks were
In entire possession of the Morea, ex-
ceptiny the strong fortress of pajras,
where there is al present numerous
Turkish fleet. The Greek fleets were
at lspara and Hydra--at this latter island
they were TO meet on the 22d August,
where great preparations were said 10
be making TO form desperate attack on
the Turkish ncei, and it was supposed
that great number OF boats were TO be
sent IN along with the fire ships. There
is no doubt that the Greeks are much
more forward in their cause than ever.
A few days before the Torpedo lef
Smyrna, there was report that a "a,
two irigates and sloop (English) had
arrived al Corfu with three 9th chic,
Greeks on board, from whence il is
said they were going up to the Turkish
fleet.
The papers contain advices from Con-
stanlinopc OF the 9Th August, which
say We continue to experience com
plete tranquility, Notwithstanding the
mutinous spirit which exists among a
certain class of Ja,issaries. But the
Aga OF the Janissaries, who having been
created Pacha with three tails, is con-
sequently invested with great power,
exercises most rigorous police; and

cuted he spreads salutary terror among
those who might be tempted to initiate
hem and take part in their sedilious
plots"
A Constanlinople date of July 81,
avs: " The adyces from the north are
more and more satisfactory. We are as
sured of speedy conc lusion of final
treaty of peace between the two imperial
courts"
"From several extracts from Bagdad
it would appear that the Turks have ia
ken Mendu Ii, and repulsed the Persians.
The latter, after an action in which the
former it is said had the advantage, were
compelled TO retreat several leagues.
We have witnessed the arrival of great
number of bags, filled with heads and
ears, Distressing, but too eloquent proofs
of the truth of this report"
The new Embassy from France was
announced for Oelober-great prepara-
tons were making al Constantinople for
its reception at the palace.
According TO The Smyrna papers,
great confusion prevailed among the
Greeks. They state that at the Isle Of
Hydra, the people have revcIted against
,be Primates. TIE slrolling govern
menl of Greece" as il is termed, has
been removed to NJ zere, and enjoys no
conslderation-its fairs are administer
ed by lew discon cated Greeks.
Leners from AltXandria state that
the plague had entirely subsidized, and
that the usual ommunieatons had been
opened.
Al Scio perfect tranquility was Ell joy-
ed.
