TRoUP AND ANDREws.-Since Gov. Troup
has "broken off all further iEtercourse''
with Maj. Andrews, correspondence has
been published which took place between
them, relative to the suspension of Col.
Crowell. In Maj. Andrews concluding
letter, which is dispassionate and dignifed
document, he justifes the course he has
pursued, andthe letter which gave so
much offence to Gov. Troup, and concludes
as follows:-
"Your Excellency informs me {" that if the
letter is authentic'' ! am TO consider all in
tercourse between your government and my
selfas suspended" Be it so, know of no
intercourse between your government and
myself which is at all necessary, which is not
on your part perfectly voluntary and agreea-
BILE. Being AN officer of the general govern
ment, | can go on TO discharge my duties.
tearlessly, according TO the dictates of nv
conscience and to the best of my judgment !:
and, if am to be added to the list of the
prescribed, for interposing the shield of my
government, to prevent the destruction of
of a man doomed TO be condemned without
a hearing or trial, wish that suspension not
only continued, but made absolute and per-
manent.
"As your Excelency has thought il your du-
ty to address me your letter of the 29th June,
| have felt il my right to reply to it, and to
inform you, that can now. see, SO far as the
examinations have progressed, and they have
been both numerous and important, no cause

By the Nantucket Inquirer is appears that
paper has but about 200 subscribers in Nam
tucket, containing population of between
seven and eight thousand souls. This is con
temptible. The s. eouf'* e off here.n man
age these things much better. In this town.
with population, according to the last cen.
sus, Of only about 29oO, there are from $50
to 400 subscribers to the papers published in
the place, and more than 100 to the Boston
papers.
The Editor must have a rare faculty for mon
ey making to support his paper from such linn
tied means, and we envy him the possession
of nothing else SO much, except his talents
for writing. The whole income from 200 sub.
scrlbers would not amount to one half of wba,
we pay for the labour alone on our paper. and
that OF 500 is requisite tc pay for the paper we
use. The Inquirer is deserving of liberal
support, and we hope that its patronage NAV
increase till it is proportIoned to the ability
with which it is conducted, which is all that
the editor need to desire.
sour Nantucket friends will understand
this term.

On the 3lst ult. the dead body of man
was found in a lot near the turnpike gate, in
the vicinity of the Long Pond in this town. in
a state of putrefaction. From the testimony
of the neighbors, it appears that the same man,
who was apparently transient person, was
seen in the vicinity on the 10th ult. 1t ap-
pears that he had bad rupture-having on
a double truss-which, with his exposure to
the heatO was unquestionably the cause of his
death.
The deceased appeared 10 be about 10
years old, had on green flannel round about
jacket, tied with strings, blue mix'd satinett
pantaloons, and black fur hat. few rods
from him was found red flannel shirt and
pair ofshoes. Some of his apparel was mark
ed with the initials S. E.
The testimony and circumstances in the
case were SO satisfactory TO the mind of the
Coroner, that he did not deem it necessary to
hold an inquest on the body. We regret,
however, that this wholesome requisition of
the laws should have been dispensed with, as
we learn that reports are abroad, tending to
create a belief that the death was occasioned
by violence.
