Extract from the Circular Address Of the Hon.
DUxcAN McARrHcR, OF Ohio, to his consti-
tuents:-
"The presidential subject continues TO occu.
BY large share Of public attention. The firm,
independent and dignifed course ever pursued
by MIR. Clay, with so much ability and eloquence
in support Of internal improvements. American
manufactures and the agricultural interests Of
the country. has gained him many friends He
will no doubt be supported BY the states of
Kentucky, Ohio, indiana, Illinois, Louisiana and
Missouri; and recent information from the state
of New Jersey, and the western parts OF Mary
land and Pennsylvania, seem to favor his pros
poets 1t is admitted, however, that much VIII
depend upon the state Of New York, where
undoubtedly Mr. Clay has many friends. Should
Mr.. Crawford, from i'll health, or any other
cause, decline being Candidate, there is
good reason to believe that Virginia viii sup
port Mr.. Clay, The nomination OF president
ADD vice president, made by a minority ct the
members Of Congress, does not appear to have
had the intended effect or to have promoted
the interest Of the persons nominated. From
the number Of candidates before the people, It
is not thought probable. that any one OF them
viii receive majority of the electoral votes,
or be elected by the colleges. Such AN event

volve upon the House Of Representatives, and

CAPTURE OF PIRATES.

BALTIMoRa 5, july e7.-Captain Az
LEN of the schooner Elizabeth, arrived
here this morning, in 10 days from Ma
tanzas, informs that they came out Of
that place on the / 18th inst under convoy
Of the United States schooner Terrier,
to the mouth of the harbor, where they
fell in with the U. $. ship John Adams,
bound to New York, and parted with her
of Abaco. About two days previous to
the sailing of the Elizabeth, accounts
were received of two American vessels
being taken off the harbor, carried toSea-
wapa Bay, and their masts cut away
no account had been received of their
crew. The words New York; ha2
been seen on their sterns. On the 10th.
near Matanzas, a Columbian privateer
schooner, EARNED with one long gun,)
fell in with fleet of pirates; the same
that have been committed the late law
less depredations of Matanzas; they con-
sisted of two small schooners and ielu-
che, and, by '-use, the Columbian schoo-
ner brought them into action at close
quarters; when, after desperate ac-
ton, killing many, she succeeded in cap
turing the two schooners. The feluche
made her escape with sweeps, and came
into Matanzas, when they were taken
up and imprisoned by the authorities Of
that place. Their confinement was sup
posed sham. The Pirates reported
that the Columbian shot eight of them
on deck of the first schooner taken, af-
ter ascertaining their characters.
Piracg.-The schr. Mercator, which
left New York on the third of June, for
Havana, with valuable cargo, was cap
tured on the sdinstant, near Matanzas,
by piratical schooner, and carried to
Iagua La Grande. A passenger NAM
ed Jose Manuel Rey, after being bound
and hoisted by the neck to extort infor-
nation as to money, was set on shore at
Matanzas. He could give no account
of the crew, having been confined for
three days alone in the cabin, whence
he was taken by four armed men, and
put ashore on the beach. 1t was rutnor-
ed ',ayana that the Mercator had been
re-taken by U. ;. schooner, but it was
subsequently ascertained there was no
foundation for this report.
The above information. which has
Just been published at New York, excl
ted great sensation there. The anxi.
ETY. of friends of the crew was extreme.
and it is ascertamed that upwards of ffig
thousand dollars was insured in New
York on the cargo.
The following singular example of.
strength of resolution and force Of
nerve, has been given by young SUR
geon of Paris. Having for long time
suffered the most acute pains from stone
in The bladder, he at length resolved to.
resort to the dangerous operation of
cutting for it, and at the same time took
the extraordinary resolution of being
the operator himself upon himself Ills
difficult, perious, and painful operation
he accomplished without any assistance.
1t is now three days since the operation,
md the patient is so well, that he hopes
in eight oyten days to resume his usua,

Wilcox of London, and nine weeks from
Cape Ceasi Castle, and received let

nation that the natives (Ashantees)

that the cause of the disturbances was
the issuing Of orders by the Governor,

military discipline, which orders they
refused to obey. Sir. Charles imme-

Having matured his plans, and made ar

the signal was given to carry his plans
OF determination into effect. A day was
fixed for this purpose, and several pat
riots were massacred in different places
but owing TO want of concert, or, prob
ably, to precipitancy, on the part of the
satellites OF the monarchy, the blood
thirsty project was not so fully consuul-
mated as had been intended. Never
