SEMI-ANNUAL ELEcTIoN.-The

Our papers received from places where
La FAYETTE has visited, are literally
filled with accounts ofhis splendid recep-
ton. So general is the feeling excited
on this interesting and extraordinary oc-
casion, that all seem to be contending
which can d. him most honor, and ex-
press the most gratitude toward this ben
efactor of our country. We nave not
received the account of his reception in
Boston, but from the arrangements made
and published, it must do honor to them
selves and to the veteran hero whom they
thus delight to honor. 1t is probable
we shall he gratified by sight of the Ma
tion's uest, IN the course of the next
week, or the beginning of the week fol-
lowing, and although we cannot receive
him With SO much >piendor as in larger
cities, he will be welcomed with as sound
and grateful hearts, as beat in the bosoms
Of any of our country men.

FROM THE PACIFIC.

We have seen a latter received by gentle
man of this city from an officer of the u. S.
Navy. in the Pacific, dated at Valparaiso on
the LIST December last. The writer ia a gen
tleman Of intelligence and close observer OF
events in that quarter-and he writes that no
political occurrences have taken place. Hence
we are led to conclude that there is no foun-
dation whatever for the report, as stated in
letters received some days ago by " hale
ship at Newport, of the defeat and dispersion
of the Patriot army ofGeneral Santa Cruz, by
the Spanish army under the command Of the
Vice Roy of Peru and General Valdes. At
the date Of the letter, U. S ship Franklin and
her tender, the Dolphin, We're at Valparaiso

dlately for Lima. The latter we have alluded

Sloce,y cannot breathe In England"-An
interesting case has ust been tried in England,
IN the Court of Kings Bench, in which MIR.
Forbes, British merchant in the Spanish
provinces of East anG West Florida, sought
to recover from Sir A. Cochrane and Sir
George Cuckburn the sum of f3,80O, the
value of some slaves belonging TO the plaintiff,
and harboured by the defendants on board a
British vessel. Many minor questions arose
in the progress Of the inquiry, but the main
point was, whether the refuge voluntarily
sought and given 10 slaves, in an English ship
did not give the same right of freedom which
had been decreed To the children ofthe desert
eTthe moment he lands on the British shore.
The Judges, Bailey, Holroyd, aud Best, were
decidedly of opinion that the action was not
maintainable, as the plaintiff ceased to have
any right or title TO the slaves the moment
that they threw themselves upon the protee-
ton Of the British dag. " Y Com .Qdr.
In the late freshet, the waters ofthe Monon-
gaheia rose, at Brownsville to the height of
thirty or forty feet. Much damage was of
course done To the mills.

for Liverpool, carried out t,celre hundred let

A letter from New Orleans OF the Goth
February, states that there will be a material
