Duncan majority Of at least 600 over Cook
The returns are not yet complete, and may differ
somewhat from the statement above, but we are
fully assured there is no doubt of Duncan's cleo
ton, and that his majority is even larger than we
have given it. Mr.. Turney was also candidate
Tor Congress, and as he and General Duncan are
both friends of Genl. Jackson, it is proper to add
the votes OF Mr. Il. to those of Duncan, which
VIII give majority against Cook, the Adams can
ddate, OF about 400, which is the most conclusive
evidence OF the popularity Of the Hero of New
Orleans in the State of Illinois. There never vas
more distinct expression of the public will nor
stronger and more honorable evidence of the virtu.

en- IN the congressional election of Illinois Mr.
Cook was in Office, which necessarily gave him
influence; 10 which may be added the influence of
his new friend, Senator Thomas, the patronage of
President Adams, and the power of every Press in
the state, which by means had all been secur-
eon the side OF the administration against the people,
who trlumphed over all unholy alliances and pros
trated their enemies in the dust. There were some
matters of minor Importance operated against Mr..
Cook; but the head and front of his offending, was
his hostility to Genl. jackson; the point upon
which the election turned so, that the political
character OF Illinois and Missouri, so far as il con-
Germs the next Presidential election, may now be
considered as settled, and those states ranked
among the decided friends of General Jackson.

CUBA.-A very short time will, in all

EST respecting the operations of the com
bned forces of the republics of South
America. All accounts agree that the
Island of Cuba, from its proximity TO
the republics and the resources which it
commands at all seasons TO inAict serious
injury to the prosperity of the free
States, is the meditated point of attack I;
and that the approaching summer cannot
pass without presenting the spectacle of
all the assailable points being in posses
sion of the republican arms. The fol-

subject not heretofore published

ROBBERY OF THE MAm-1'he great
mail, which left Philadelphia on the
28th uli. for the south, was robbed some
where between that city and Washing
ton. When the mail bag arrived ae
Washington on the 1st inst. il had the
appearance Of safety, but on opening it,,
the canvas bag, containing all the greae
mail from the East, had been cut near
ly from end to end, and the whole Mail
from Philadelphia and the East was
gone. On the 28th, Mr.. Allen, broker,
OF Philadelphia, enclosed considerable
amoInt in notes and drafts in a letter TO
a correspondent at the south, and on the
following morning, between 10 and half
past 10 o'clock, some of the identical
notes were offered at his office for sale.
MIR. A. Immediately forwarded TO his
correspondent in this city list of the
notes deposited in the post-ofiice, a copy
of which list was left with several of
the brokers in Wall-street, Just before
noon on Friday the Sd inst. About 12
O'Clock the same day some of the iden-
teal notes were offered at the office Of
Mr. X. L. Nevins for exchange, by
well dressed young man about 90 years
old, who calls his name Nichols. He
was Immediately arrested, and after I'M
dergoing an examination. committed TO
Brldewell. On his way to the Police
Office, he made several desperate at
tempts TO escape. A loaded pistol and
two knives or dirks, were found on his
person. The above mentioned letter of
Messrs. Aliens, contained 2314 dollars
in Bank Notes, 500 dollars in Post
Notes, and S1263 40 in drafts. We
understand the amount found upon
Nichols, was only about $500
NJ. L. Simpson, the Agent, for the
General Post-Office, in an advertisement
in the Philadelphia papers on the sub
Ject of The robbery, says, that no doubt
IS entertained that the person who rob-
bed the mail opened the lock Of the
portmantcau with key, and that suspi-
clon therefore aGghts on some one of
the drivers, under whose feet the port
manteau is placed. He also states that
three drivers had been arrested, and
that there is reason TO believe that only
two men were actively engaged IN the
robbery, which was done, with the con-
sent Of the driver, between Sorrel
Horse and Newport, Del. and that the
letters stolen must have been sccreted
between these places, equal 10 bulk to

mittee on Indian affairs, containing the out
lines of Bill &C for the preservation and civ

the history of that race of men who once oc-
cupied, in undisturbed sovereignty, the vast
region in which a remnant now exist only as
tenants at willard we are pleased to find
the feeling of sympathy which so generally
prevails respecting them, sanctioned by so
high authority. The Secretary embraces in
his view the period of the first settlement of
the country by Europeans, and disregardng
the pretence which has sometimes been main
tanned IN zeal TO save from reproach the
character of our ancestors, that nothing was
obtained from them but by fair and justifable
means, frankly avows the fact, that " they
brought with them their own maxims which
recognized power as the only standard of right,
