The Election of President of The United States

The Election Of President Of The United States.
has evenruated, on the first ballot in the choice OF
that able patriotic and experienced statesman John
Quincy adams. This early decision OF the House
OF Representatives, has prevented the uneasiness
and alarm 10 which protracted balloting would
necessarily have given rise.
The termination of this long pending, and eager
" agated contest in favor oil one OF the rival can
dldales must, in the nature Of things, produce dit
ferent emotions OF popular feeling-aI'd the dsap-
pontment of some, may equal the CALCULATIONS OF
others. Let US hope, however, that the opponents
of Mr.. ADAMS administ alton, will oppose it only
when il is wrong-and that they will support 1t
when it shall be right This, we believe, is all that
"a virtuous statesman would ask-it is as much
he is entitled 10 receive. Con6ding in the long
tiled devotion OF Mr. adams to the Cause of his
country, We fearlessly commit its destiny to that
benevolent Providence, that olesses the counses OF

Lake, having no outlet, and tina! il is fed
by Two large rivers, one OF which, the
Shary, flows from the same chain oil
mountains in which the branch OF the
Nile otherwise the White Nile) takes
its rise. The Shary, runs in direction
nearly due north from its source to the
lake; whilst it is ascertained tina, the
other river, called the Yao, enters the
lake on the n N. w. side, flowing from
the westward but it is not continual
ton of the Jolibar, or river Tombuctoo.
These travellers confirm the account OF
the Mahemmedan priest, that between
Cano and Nyffe there is no river commu-
nicalion. Cano is in lat. Is N. long. 9
E. and Succatoo, which our adventu-
rers subsequently, visited, is in IL. N. S
L. This town is the capital of great
nation, of which we appear to have had
no previous inform atom though the King
of the country (whose name is Belo)
was much pleased with the appearance
OF our countrymen, and, 10 their surprize,
they saw his house was furnished with
English crockery, which, it appeared,
he had obtained by way, of traffic, with
the inhabitants Of the Blight OF Benin.
He expressed hope that mode would
be found, by which his subjects could
trade with the English. His country APP
peared very productive, and abounsed
with cattle. 1t further appears, by the
information collected, by Messrs. Den
ham and Clapperton, that the Timbuctoo
River runs S. Z. to Nyffe, then south
erly, and empties itself into The Blight
of Benin; which ascertained fact is of
much importance as it opens commu-
nica,ion with the Atlantic, and will great
ly facilitate the object intended to be
pursued by Major LANG, in the course
Of The ensuing winter or the next spring.
Whilst crossing the Desert our travel
lers were much distressed for want of
provisions, yet they have happily arri-
we'd home in tolerable health, having
suffered less from the climate than any
of their predecessors in this srduous en-.
lerprize. They were every where well
received by the natives, who made them
various presents, which are on their way
10 Ehglan from Malta. Among
them are live ostriches and beautiful
horse for our king, presented to him by
one of the native princes.

EXPEDITION TO THE NIGER.

We have great pleasure IN learning
the arrival in England OF Major Denham
and Lieut.. Ciapperlon he latter Of the
ROYAL Marine forces who left this coun-
try in the year 1921, on an exploratory
iourney into the interior Of central Afri.
ca,connected with ascertaining the source,
course and termination of the river Nj
ger, has been an object OF geographical
research more than 200 years. Our il
lus,rious modern traveller, Mungo Park,
threw a more full and decisive light on
this subiec, than ever had been made 10
appear during this long period: after
penetrating through variety OF the
kingdoms of western and interior Africa,
he came at length to Sego, the capital of
Bambara, where he beheld "the long
sought majestic Niger glittering to the
morning sun, as broad as the Thames at
Westminster, and flowing slowly to the
eastward" He then traced its course
down to Silla, and upwards to Bamma-
koo, (about 1000 miles) where 1t hrs'
became navigable, to an extent OF 5000
niles. This, however, appeared TO be
on,v 2 commencement Of the career OF
this mighty stream, leaving its subse-
ouep, progress involved in increasing
mystery. Jackson, Hornemann, Tuck
ey Bowditch, Richie, Lyon, Laing, and
now Denham and Clapperton, have all

GOVERNOR TROUP.

From paragraph in the Georgia Pa.
triot, and from other Information, We
should conclude .ha, Governor Troup
left Milledgeville about the time Gene
raj Gaines was expected to arrive there.
We should hope that the Governor
would have had more regard to proprie-
ty and TO the dignity of the executive Of
flee, than to have left the seat of Govern
ment, in order TO avoid an interview with
the officers of the General Government.
Such step. however it might CRAFTY his
own feelings, would not, we should sup
pose, be approved of by any party. 1t
would, indeed, be strange sort Of COM
ment upon his own message, and would
seem to be practically saying, that shaw
ing exhausted the argument" gye will
take to our heels-a course which we
should suppose was not calculated to ia.

HAYTI.

The acknowledgment of the TndsderA
dence OF Hayti by the United States, is
admitted even at tho South, to be expe.
dent; and the only difficulty there ap.
pears to be, that in such case, the Re.
preventative and Consuls sent to the
United States, may be gentlemen with
black faces and wooley heads, and that
such men cannot be treated courieouslv.
II Nv far this ought to operate in favor OF
some regulation on the subject, remains
to be demonstrated. But as far as we
understand the morale Of the leading men
in. Hsyt, no black or colored man would
accep, an appointment of the kind, I'm.
less he could be.assured not only of le-
gal protection, but of courteous treat
ment; and Hayti has amongst her citi-
zens many white men, who would very
readily accept to represent Her sove-
reign'y and commerce The Haytiens
we'll know the prejudices which exist
against black and colored men, and that
only time and philosophy can eradicate
them. 1t ought to be borne in mind, that
the American exports to Hsyti have
amounted TO larger sum than those 10
Russia, Prussia, Sweden, Norway, Den
mark, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Malta
and 1t may also be added. that such has
been the economy and frugali,y of the
Hay,ien government, with very moderate
duties and taxes, it has been able to ac-
cumula,c funds amply sufficient to dis
charge the largess it has stipulated TO pay
to France, onerous as it appears to be.

metro, whence she sailed on the ID June.
The Brazilian expedition had sailed from
Rio for Mon'evideo. The whole of the
province of Banda Oriental was engaged
in the revolt. The government Of Buenos
Ayres had placed, as matter Of precau-
ton, force in the province Of Entire
Rios, and it is supposed it cannot avoid
fixing a more decided interest in the af-
FAIRS of that province.
The arrival of Sir Charles Stewart,

Extract of a letter from Trieste dated
June lOih
After the splendid naval victory which
the Greeks gained in the night oil the
18th of May, we could not expec, to sec
Navarin capitulate-yet this has hap
pencd, if we may believe letters from
Corfu, dated 3oth OF May. However il,
may be, the poss ession of the place can
be of no advantage to the Turks after
the loss Of their fleet and their situation
in the Morea is not the less critical.
Extract of private letter Of the 18Th
inst. from Leghorn.-" Several letters
have just reached US from Western
Greece. Two corps Of the Seraskier's
army, each consisting of S or 5000 men,
being continually harassed by the Greeks;
have marched one upon the road OF Lee
panto, before Missolonghi, and the other
upon that of Anglecastron, a few leagues
from Anatolicon. Up to the 18Th uit.
no action had taken place in these direc-
tions, except some skirmishes, in which
the Greeks had the advantage. Red
schid Pacha is entirely withou, siege ar
tillery, and part Of his field artillery, as
well as grea, number Of wagons which
followed his army, have heen captured
by the partizans Of the Greeks. The
whole population Of Missolonghi are
under arms and such 10 their confidence
of success, that no one has ye, entertain
cd an idea Of putting his family in place
of safety in any part Of the Merea. The
Greek naval station, which was off Pa
,ras. has established cruizers along the
coas, from E,olia to Cape Tornese, and
has itself sailed before Cape Papas. This
movement Of the division has been made
in consequence Of intelligence Of the

my instructions from the department oil
war endeavored 10 convince the council,
but without success, Of The fallacy of
their objections to the treaty; and TO dis
sipate their delusive hopes thai il can
ever be annulled; l have assured them,
that, in all our treaties with the powers
OF Europe, as well as with nearly fifty
Indian nations, there has not been one
instance, TO my knowledge, of a treaty
having been revoked or annulled, after
being duly ratified; except by the free
consent OF all the parties 10 it, or by war
/ yesterday met in council, near Joseph
Marshall's ferry, the chiefs of the McIn-
;osh party, and communicated 10 them the
proposition of the council at Broken Ar
row, 10 whic b they have acceded. They
promised to return to their homes as
soon as they are advised of the arrival
of the United States troops, ordered
frsm Louisiana and Pensacola, to the
Creek agency at Chaltahoochee. The
chiefs of both parties have distinctly and
solemnly assured me, that they will re-
main at peace with each other; and that
they will, in no case, raise an arm against
the citizens of the United States. Un-
der these circumstances, it is my duty TO
notify your cxcellency, that there will be
no occasion for calling into service any
part of the militia or volunteers OF the
state over which you preside. The GER

Ply, marked A, added to the declarations
OF the chiefs in council, of which Joseph
Marshall was the principal interpreter,
prove that your excellency, has been
greatly deceived in supposing that the
Mcintosh party ever consented to the
survey of the coded territory being COM
menced before the time set forth in the
treaty for their removal, This fact, Civ
ing altogether new aspect to the sub
ject Of the proposed survey Of the land,
added to strong conviction on my mind,
that the attempt TO make the surveys
would be positive violation Of the ,rea
ty, and will, under existing causes of ex-
element, be certain to produce acts oil
violence upon the persons or properly
of unofending Indians, who we are bound
to protect, it becomes my duty to remon-
s,rate against the surveys being com
menced until the Iadians shall have re
moved agreeably 10 the treaty. cannot
doubt that the facts disclosed by the &C
companying certificate, with the concur
rent testimony of the chiefs in council,
will induce your excellency, withou, he
station, to abandon the projec, of survey
ing the land before the month of Sep.
