says" the people for war have acted
on illusions. They thought the mere
presence sof'100,0OO French troops in
Spain, would make the party of the
Cortes lay down their arms; they
thought that when we reached the Ebro.
we should have no occasion to go to
Madrid; that marching on Madrid, we
could dispense with proceeding to Sc
vile; and that at length masters of Sc
vile, we should not be under the neces-
sity of moving forward to Cadiz.
Speaking of Portugal the Morning
Chronicle says" 1t is evident that the
late reaction, there was arranged by the
Queen and her party, in direct opposi
ton to the King, whom the former would
gladly set aside, agreeably to an old
project, in order that the Queen NAV
be placed at the head of Regency.

and Molitor was evidently drawn bat
tle-a few such would destroy the hopes
of the French.
The following letters from Gibraltar,
published in the New York morning pa
pers, are introduced as coming from
gentlemen of the first responsibility,
well known ia that city, and who have
the best means Of knowing the true sit
uation of things.
GIBRALTAR, Aug. 9.-"The garrisons
of St. Sebaslians and Pampeluna, have,
it appears, made several successful sor-
ties, and obliged the French to raise
their camps. am encouraged to hope
from the tenor of my last accounts, that
Spain may yet be triumphant. The
French have been deceived.-lt will
take three years to do what they con-
hdently expected would be performed
in three months. A great number of
boats with wheat and all kinds of pro-
visions go from here daily. and all get
into Cadiz, through the Rio San Petre,
and provisions are plenty at Cadiz, and
by my last letter prices were falling"
/ "Things wear better aspect in Spain.
The assertion by the services. that Bal
lasteros had been corrupted, has been
thrown in the teeth of this vile SET
There does not appear the least founda-
ton for it. OF this you may RELY, that
generally, things look better for the
Constitutional cause.-the Spaniards
under Ballasteros, and the French under
Molitor, have had a most sarguinary
battle-botb parties claimed the victory,
but it is said that Ballasteros has taken
the French artiIlery.-Both parties have
suffered in a shocking manner, as the
French have acknowledged great
number of killed and wounded. A gal
liant Spanish officer, at Carthagena.
writes me that they will come off VIC
torious, and sooner than was expected
he expresses himself content with the
present aspect of affairs.
1.-THE gallant and lion hearted Nina
is in Barcelona, which is animated with
the best spirit. Cadiz appears deter
mined to hold out. One of your New
Workers is here, who says that there are
$4,000 elegant troops there, devoted TO
the right side. They have lately made
asortfe, and have beat the French"
A letter received in Philadelphia,
dated at Gibraltar the 9th ult mentions
that Cadiz would doubtless hold out, as
supplies of provisions were daily re-
ceived from that place. 1t also states
that frigate, which pursued the Span
ish boats too near the coast, was becalm-
ed within reach of the Guns of San Pc
dro, and captured. .....

THUNDER STORM.

On the oath ult the town of Wayne, Tusca-
rawas county, Ohio, was visited by a very extra
ordinary thunder and hail storm. large cloud
in the west portended its approaeh-the wind
blew--the thunder rolled the lightning flashed,
and dcluge of rain and hail succeeded. The
hail was the largest ever witnessed in that neigh
borhood, varying from the size of a hickory nat,
to that Of a small egg-and as hard as water fro
zen in some of our coolest winter days. During
the storm, a flash of lightning struck the house
of Mr.. Forgy Nagny, which instantly killed Mrs.
Nagny and materially injured one of her chill
dren. It appears that Mrs. Nagoy rose from her
seat for the purpose of covering looking glass,
and while in the act of putting up the cloth to
the glass, she was struck with the fatal flash.
The boy, who relates this circumstance, being
himself stunned with the shock, remembers moth
ing more than on the return of his senses he saw
his mother laid notoness on the floor, and his
little sister BY her side, attempting to raise her
self up-the iooking-giass was shattered to pie
ces. The boy gave the alarm to the neishbors,
but every spark of life ia the unfortunate woman
had become extinct

In each dis trict it appears three candidates
have been placed in nomination; it is certain
that but one can be chosen sit becomes the duty
therefore of every Elector to study the charac-
tiers Of the men, who are offered for his suffrage,
and select the one most qualified for-the station,
for which he is proposed.
In York two of the candidates are lawyers, the
other we hardly know what to call he has been
farmer, soldier, and is now we believe lum-
Der merchant. Of the two first MIR. Burleigh
was regularly nominated previous to the last trial
and received large number of votes, and is,
we are informed, well qualified. by talents and
general information, for the high Office Ifoth-
or things are equal in MIR. McIntire, still MIR.
Burleigh has the preference in these.
In Lincoln, we cannot hesitate to give a decid-
ed preference to the nomination Of the Hon.
JEREMIAH BAILEY he has been long
time in public life and has discharged the duties
of every Office to which he has been called with
singular promptness, fidelity and ability.
The other candidates, to be sure, come before
the public in noveistylet 70, hseastcrn country,
but with what advantage may admit Of question.
MIR. Herrick is ushered 10 BY an array of letters
recommendatory, from variety of gentlemen OF
high character; these things our colleges require
before they matriculate boy, and we all think
them necessary, previous to hiring servant; but
the very circumstance implies that the man
is unknown to his employers, and in the present
case, it implies that he is suspected Mr.. Hill
too, stimulated by the example of his rival, has
thought il proper to back his reputation. and no
less man than his cxcellency of Massachusetts,
Gov Eustis, is procured as an endorser for his
character. The last Bath paper contains let

and opinions are set forth " in good set terms

mendation of faithful services during two cop-
gressional terms, and may be supposed to possess
the advantage over his opponents which il con-
ferred BIZ this experience in public business.
