MARYLAND LEGISLATURES.

Extract of letter, dated 60 ANNAPOLIS, Dec 70
communication was received from the ex-
ecntive to-day, accompanied by n preamble
and resolutions from the legislature of Ten
nesSee, disappearing Of a congressional caucus
for the president and vice president of the u
States.
An adherence TO the congressional caucus
sy stem beyond the period of its usefulness, is
likely to produce much confusion and; distrac-
ton. Mr. Semmes, of Prince Georges, has sub
mrted preamble and resolutions, r,probating
congressional caucus, 10 strong but temper
ate language. MIR. Bowie, senator from
the same county, has also submitted resolu-
tions on the same subject to the senate, IL is
thought by many that his course is not sufici-
emily deciSiye-therefore ihey will not be APP
proved Of by some. Mr.. Pitt, from Dorchester
county, oday gave us another preamble, fol-
lowed by similar resolutions
The resolutions from Tennessee are ordered
to be printed, aud referred to a committee of
FIVE On this motion discussion took place,
when we bad an opportunity Of discovering the
sentiments of several ofthe gentlemen. Every
congressional caucus man voted against the
printing; as also many othsrs Who are directly
oppo1ed to the congressional caucus tystsm,
but deemed the printing unnecssssry-and
Notwithstanding this, the motion was carried
by large majority. The resolutions will Ger
tainly pass by large majority in some shape.
In the senate, Mr. Winder presented the
memorial Of a committee Of the state Of Mary
land, appointed On pursuance of the resolution
OF general convention Of delegates, from the
states Of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mary
land and the District Of Columbia, held in the
city of Washington on the 6tn of Nov. 1929
:" to prepare and present in behalf of said con
yeniion memorial TO the general assembly OF
Maryland, requesting their concurrence 10 the
incorporation OF company to form counec-
ton of the Atlantic aud western waters by a
canal; and their cooperation If necessary in
the subscription of funds for the completion OF
said canaf'-in the manner and on the plan
proposed in the general resolutions adopted by
thai assembly The memorial was read anC
laid Oh the table"

upon that elrand. On the first alarm
nine tenths of the inhabitants removed
to Mannheim leaving behind them about
20 people among whom was poor
peasant, who besides being brave fell
low, was a man of humour. This peas
ant in good time fastened the gates, let
down the draw bridge and made great
show Of resistance. A trumpeter sum-
moned the place in form, upon which
the few inhabitants that remained made
their escape thro' postern gate, leav-
ing only behind the peasant and his wife.
This unaccountable fellow in the style
of the representative eta garrison, gave
audience from the walls to the military
herald, and made his terms of capitula-
ton inch by inch, contracting at the
same time for the preservation of the
State and the free exercise of the prot
estant religion. Judge therefore what
surprise the Spaniards felt when they
entered the village and found him alone
in it. Yet the droll preserved the mus
cles of his countenance inflexibie and
some weeks afterwards, when his wife
lay in, he desired the great GonsalOo to
be sponsor, which honour the pompous
Castilan could not decline, and even
sent her some very handsome presents
This account the historian(F. Spanheim,
mem de Elect. PaIat.) says might appear
to posterity Il little romantic, if the no.
toriety Of it had not been circumstance
indisputable at the time it happened"

THE GREEK CAUSE.

Great enthusiasm, in favour of the oppres-
sed Greeks, appears to be felt throughout
many parts of the country. Every paper we
take up, contains accounts of the calling and
holding of meetings for their aid, and of dona-
tons to the committees, appointed for that
purpose. Some give money, some land, and
one person gave half a dozen iron shovels and
one patent balance, with the wish, that the
Turks may kick the beam, and that despot-
ism, every where, weighed in the balance Of
liberty, may be found wanting" In New
York, this spirit appears most active. Here
Balls and Concerts are given, the Theatres,
Circus, Shows and Exhibitions, all give the
Greeks benefit. In fine, almost every kind
of business and recreation, is made, in some
way, subservient to that end. Should the
same feeling pervade the whole country. large
sums will be collected, and it may produce an
effect, even beyond the hopes of those, who
first engaged in the work. We have present.
ed our readers, this day, with the proceedings
of the meeting in Boston, and accounts o
some donations made in other places.

FOREIGN NEWS

1t will be seen, under our foreign bead, that
London dates have been received, two days
later than were given last week. The onlv
articles of particular consequence in the pa
pers, are those relative to South American af-
fairs, one of which we have republished.
They generally agree, that the course adopted
by the British government, will be similar to
that recommended by the President in his Mes
Sage, viz. TO leave the contest between Spain
and her cideuant colonies, to be determined
between themselves, and to allow no inter-
ference Of OTHER Powers. Should Great Bri-
tain and this Country unite in adopting this
course, it will in our opinion, settlethe ques-
ton of South American independence. 1t
cannot be supposed that Spain, poor and en-
feebled as she now is, could, with her utmost
efforts, subdue even one of those Powers
alone, much less, that she could make any Sc
rious impression on them all united And, it
is very unlikely, that the Continental Powers
will again embroil, not only Europe, but
America also, in war for the, at best,
doubtful chance of restoring to Spain, her
American possessions.
Accounts from Washington say, that imme.
diately on the receipt of dispatches from our
Minister at London, an extraordinary meet
ing Of the Committee of Foreign Relations was
called. This, combined with our accounts
direct from London, goes far to confirm the
report in our last, relative to the proposition,
said to be made by the British Cabinet to
ours, relative to the interference of the Allied
Powers in the affairs of South America.
