THE ELECTIONS.

Nothlng Is more interesting to free people
than the election Of their Chief Magistrate
Elected rs our President is for four years:-
clothed with immense powers of various de-
scriptiOns; conducting all our foreign relati
ons; revising the whole interior operation OF
our federal machinery; possessing a negative
over the acts of the Legislature, and charged
with the duty of. executing the laws; nves
ed with an inordinate power Of appointment
and removal, with all the patronage and influ-
ence which 1t confers; affecting the destiny
ana happiness ct the nation in SO MANY
ways is 1t surprising that the selection
Of Chief Magistrate should have occn.
Pned so deep al attention, and at the eve
of decision, should excite so profound an
interest? The results in the different States
constitute in fact the most prominent parts oil
the Intelligence OF the dsy-are anxiousiy de.
tailed in every paper, and eagerly perused by
every reader. Prompted by this considera.
ton, we lay over almost every other specula-
ton, and devote our Editorial head 10 the f.
lection of the day.
VIRGINIA.
The decision is made beyond the possibility
Of doubt. WIN. II. Crawford is the decIar.
ed favoriIe of our fellow-ctizens. The Go
vernour and Council this day issue their Pro-
clamatIon, declaring the electon of the Craw-
Ioru Eiec'ors, ana calling them to the Seat oil
Government to give in their votes. The
vote for Mr. Crawford is nearly three
times as great as the vote for the next high.
est candldate-and one or two thousand more
man all the other candidates put together
Decisive as this result is, il is very far short Of
the actual popularity of MIR. Crawford in Wiz.
ginia. Thousands Of his friends absentpd
themselves from the polls, because they were
secure OF his election. We know from all
quarters; from extracts in the newspapers
from private letters; from oral report. that
such is the fact; and that in Virginia Mr..
Crawford is infinitely stronger and more DO
pular than any of the other candidates. Let
the carplng prints of the day say what thew
please nothing but the grossest Ignorance
or the grossest disingenuousness would deny
the fact or its explanation. The state of the
polls, st present, stands thus:

tained IN the following private letter writer
w are assured, by men Der Of the chamber
of deputies, who has access to ministerial
Recommendations.
We give 1t however, without any Other
pledge Ofsits accuracy. Ii will be seen, that
the writer speaks off, communication having
been made to our cabinet Of the alleged ollie cl
Of the expedition and that we recognizing
the right which every country has, to recover
the possession of her re,oited colonies If il
can, interpOsed no obstacle. This Is not the
case. The only communication, we believe,
was to apprise his msjesiy's government Of
the sailing of fleet to relieve the French
Garisons 10 the West Indies.
The following is the letter
Soon after the dismissal of the Haytien
commissioners, sent Ia France to negotiate
the acknowledgment Of ST. Domingo as an in
dependent state, orders were given by the
French government to prepare an expedition
against the island, Four thousand men,
Turning part Of il, were ordered to Brest, and
there embarked on the 28th August. The ex-
petition then set sail TO Join admiral Duperre
On Martinique, where an additional number
Of troops, collected for several months past,
were to be taken on board, and the whole to
proceed to st. Domingo.
On arriving of the Island, it was not intend
ed 10 undertake any thing decisive in the first
instance, which, the smallness of the forces
would not admit OF, but to get possession Of
some strong places on the heaIthiest part of
Inc coast, throw up additional Notifications,
and then enter into negotiations with some Of
me chiefs, many Of whom are still attached To
France. Should these fail then strong rein
forcements would be sent from France, and
hostll!ties commence, whilst the fleet would
establish the strictest blockade before the pria-
cipal ports of the Island.
Communication respecting this armament
was, it is added, made several mnnths ago to
the British Cabinet, which acting upon the
principle that every nation has an undoubted
right to attempt TO recover her colonies started
no objection. The journey of a certain Lord
(H-by,; to Paris, some months ago, it is
even said was not altogether unconnected with
this object.
Spain, claiming part of Hispanolia, it is con-
iidentIy asserted, will act in concert with
France, and probably extend her views to the
Gulf of Mexico.

Gently received by naval officer in

could be thought of for the comfort and

provided by government. We have
complete fur dresses OF racoon skin;
bags about six feet long and sufficient

be inflated when necessary, to repose
on. These pillows are made OF duck

we'd in naptha, winch renders them air
tight, and the pillows are then formed.
There is stop cock at one corner,
through which they are inflated, and
when not used, the air is allowed to
escape. When empty, a pillow can
be folded up in a small compass, and
carried in the pocket. We have also
