by The way OF Ancona, and also of Marseilies,
which may be considered decisive of the fate of
that most valuable portion of the globe. A let

ter, Petro6ey to his son in Zante and by the
way of Marseilles, the advices from the Morea
are dated on the 10th December. These coUmu-
ncations agree in confirming the accounts pre-
yonsy published in the Chronicle of the defeat
of the Captain Pacha by the Christianheet. near
the Island Skiathe. In the action the Barbara
ans suffered the loss of ten ships sunk. twelve
burned, and eight captured. They also state
that the Capt. Chief, Magrocordato, in his pas
sage with fourteen ships for the relief of Misso-
longhI, fell III with the Algerine fleet off Patras,
| that severe engagement Immediately ensued,
and the result was the capture of one frigate and
one brig. Five other Algerine vessels were
sunk during this battle, and the remainder ofthe
plratical feet escaped.

vested Missolongh, was informed of these disas-
ters, sotOe qmpeH, IN imitation of higher autho-

Gus bodies OF them seized every description OF

of escaping from their enemies, however. was

treat, suffered considerable loss. Mayrocordato

that Larissa, the capital of Thessaly, was block

before the adjournment of Congress.
The motion 10 take up the resolutions prevailed.
MIR. King, of New York, then moved for the indeh-
mite postponcmcnt of the whole subject. This mo-
ton gave rise to considerable discussion, in which
Mcssrs. King ofN. York, Haync. Van Buren,, Low
rie, Lloyd of Maryland, Mills, Holmes of Maine,
Bell, and Dickerson, participated. 1t was conten-
dcd, on the Que hand, that it could be expected
by the members of the Senate, that any one of the
different propositions could be adopted at the pre-
sent session-that there was much other business,
more immediately Important to be acted upon as
the amendment, if adopted at all, could not be- a
dopted in season to operate upon the election

much agitotcd on the subject of an election, at

as there might be some parts OF the country which
were yet waiting, III vain expectation that
mcndDent would be adopted al the pres ent session,

might see fit to pursue, i'll regard the next elect-
In the course of this debate, Mr. Van Buren, said,
he hoped the motion made by his colleague, for i'll
definite postponemcnt, would not prevail. There
was not, i'll his judgment, any reason why the Sc
nate could not act upon the subject now, as ell
as at any other time. If the state Of feeling on
the part of the members of the Senate, could
possibly be supposed to create objection to
Ing upon the matter at this session, it to he
regretted that that consideration had not had an
earlier influence. We had commenced this busi-
ness under circumstances peculiarly auspcious the
various propositions submitted had been referred to
a committee of high responsibility, who had, with
great unaninity, reported proposition. He thot
there was adequate time to act upon the rcpor-
ted. He differed from his colleague in his impress
sion that there was any portion OF the Union which
expected that the Constitution would be amended
III season Tor the next election. That was rendered
impossible by the necessary process thraush which
the amendments proposed must pass, and such, he
was satisfied the understanding Of and there
was, therefore, reason arising from that .onsde-
ration which would render it proper stop now, af
ter so much progress had already been made i'll the
subject.
Without taking the question on the motion to
postpone,
The Senate adjourned till tomorrow.

admit this to be the true state of things so that
whether the Legislature retain the power of ap-
pointing Electors in their own hands, or restore
1T to the people, to whom only it legitimatcly be-
longs, the result will be equally destructive to
the hopes of the Caucus candidate. Seeing and
Knowing this to be the fact, it may be asked,
why have not his friends the magnanimity to gra-
tty the wishes of the people, by repeating the
electoral! law of the State The answer to this
| IS, that nadS'adniputy does not enter into the
scheme of Caucus eiectioneering that by restor-
ing to the people the right of election they des-
try even the slight hope which rests upon remote
conttngen s,-while by retaining it, sickness or
death may reduce the majority of Mr.. Adams,
and intrigue, corruption and bribery, NAV add
