MIR. Randolph believed he had offered
him, and thus made peace, his conduct

with the moral sense Of the people of

equivocal Reproduction Of the practice
Of duelling," which he could possibly
have penned in answer to the chal-
lenge.

The editors Of the Richmond Enqui-
rer pronounce the "Nashville letter." a
fabrication. In common with other
newspapers we have inserted it. We
did not note the paper from which it
was copied, nor have we heard its au-
thenticity questioned by any excepting
the Enquirer. If it be fabrication,
then have the same light that we have.
In their paper of the 22d ult. and in a
letter addressed by them to this place,
which we have seen, they more than
insinuate that the article in question
was an original communication in this
paper. We pronounce the suspicion
false.

An extract of letter from Will
mington, N. c. dated June 10, says
"There is reason to believe we have a
PIRATICAL VESSEL ON OUR
COAST, and the suspicion should be
made as public as possible. About 2
weeks since, four men were found on
the beach, about the latitude Of Wash
ington, their heads and hands cut off,
and apparently lately done. Captain
Gerard; of the sloop Guide, arrived
to-day, has just informed us that he saw
a suspicious looking schooner Of about
so tons on Thursday last, 80 miles S.
of Hatteras, full of men, say so or
60. She was apparently Baltimore
clipper built, carried fore and aft main
and foresail, maintopmast staysail, two
gaE topsails, and squaresail. She
was standing off shore when he last saw
her, which was at night"

FROM SMYRNA.

Arrived at Boston, brig Clio, Good
win, from Smyrna-sailed April y
The following was handed Captain
Goodwin, the day he sailed, by mer-
chant at Smyrna:
From our latest accounts from the
Morca, it appears the Egyptian expe-
dition had effected landing of about
$4,000 troops. Two actions had oc-
Cured before Navarin and Calamra, in
which the Greeks had been successful,
and had taken a great number Of pri-
soners. The Greek fleet had sailed
from Hydra to the amount Of about for
ty sail in quest of them, and it was ex-
pected an action between the two fleets
would soon occur. A brig of war, and
some other vessels had been taken by
the advanced ships of the Greek squad
ron. Patras was closely besieged by
land, and blockaded by sea. A French
ship of war, just arrived here, had been
ordered offby the Greek squadron, and
not allowed to enter. President Con-
duriotti was there in person. General
Colotroni and his party, suspected OF
treason, were closely confined at Hy-
dra to await their trial. The Samiats
have sent deputation to Hydra for
succor of some ships, as they expect
an attack from the Ottoman feet, which
was granted to them. The Ottoman
fleet have partly come out from Con-
stantinople. A squadron of the Alge-
rines are daily expected in the Archi-
pelago, against the Greeks. Great pre-
parations are making by the Turks to
enter the Morea at all points. The
Greeks were also making great prepa-
rations to meet them.
Capt. Goodwin passed the Greek fleet
off the Morca and Island of Glesego.

LITERARY.

In the number and excellence of hel
newspapers, those safeguards of Tree
dom, this country has exceiled all O.
theirs; and the time is close at hand
when we shall also be able to vie with
our European neighbors with respect
to the higher grade of periodical pub
LEGATIONS. The North American Re
view has long commanded the respect
of foreign literati; and more recently
Silliman's Journal, the Boston Journal
of Science and the Arts and the Z. 5
Literary Gazette have shown forth
with an enviable lustre. Still more
recently has been issued, at New-York
the first number of the Atheneum
Magazine, in style which would rem
der it an honor to any country. A new
star has also arisen in the horizon OF
the Literary Emporium, OF which we
have the best hopes that it will be
both brilliant and fixed. We allude to
the Boston Monthly Magazine, edited
by SAMUEL L. KNAPP, Esq. the first
number Of which was issued on Wed
nesday last. The plan Of the editor
is very good, and the execution OF IT.
we should judge from a cursory per
usal, unexceptionable. Col. KNAPP is
very happy, we think, in the biographi,
cal sketch of Bishop Cheverus; indeed
the biographical line is his forte. His
notices of new publications are Judic,
ious, instructive and amusing; and eve,
nv part of the work evinces talent
Judgment and good taste. We cheer.
fully recommend this work to our. rea.
ders, as deserving Of patronage and
encouragement.

PRICES OF PRODUCE
At Alexandria, June IS, 1925.

Our market has been entirely at stand for
the last eight or ten days, owing to the harvest
very little produce of any description is
coming, and still less going out from the want
of vessels. Flour is brisk at 81 2. The
last several cargoes of Corn yielded the aver
age price we quote-say 40. The price OF
Wheat is merely nominal, the old crop hav-
ing been exhausted and none of the new being
ready for market. Tobacco is in good de-
mand-but rhe prices vary so materially, say
from 50 to $50, and even to $40, that it would
be needless to attempt an accurate quotation,

NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.

The friends Of this truly national
work will be pleased to learn that it
continues to en- Joy the most hattering
success; and that the increase OF its
subscription during the past year has
been much greater than at any former
period. AS a proof of this fact, 1t
needs only to be stated, that the num-
Der for January last is already out OF
print, and that a new edition of 1t
is now in the press. There is, in
particular, growing demand for IT,
at the South and West. The orders
from England, too are much enlarg-
ed, and though it has been proscrlb-
ed by royal authority in France, and
is carefully sought and seized by the
police, on every frontier, still few
copies find their way regularly to
that country, and are not the less read
for being forbidden. Indeed, we hap
pen to know, that it is now so much
spread in Europe, that 1t deserves to
be considered as having an European
circulation. Werejoice at all this, be-
cause it is time we had work which
will fairly and fully represent the Ia
Tents and opinions of this country, and
the North American Review, which IS
constantly drawing its contributions
from a wider and wider circle, is alrea-
dy become nearly all we can desire
to have it, and promises soon to leave
no wish unaocomplished.

situated about II miles below the District OF
Columbia. This estate contains rather more
than 1000 acres of fine land, to which are at
tached several valuable fsheries.-600 acres
of this land is under q lease for life, and rents
for 81, 900 per annum; 40 acres are under
lease for term of years, and rents for 500;
the fisheries have rented for $1,000, and gene
rally for 400 to 500 per annum. In the event
of the completion OF the Ohio and Chesapeake
Canal they will be of incalculable value. The
arabic land produces fine crops of corn and
wheat; and the sources of improvement OF the
land from the fishing shores are inexhaustable.
Two thirds of the estate is in woods. A large
manufacturing mill is distant only two miles by
water, where all the crops can be readily sold
at the District of Columbia prices free of
freight-the navigation to the mills is sufficient
for vessels carrying 1900 bushels of wheat
