COTTON SEED GAS.

The important discovery, by Professor DIN.
stead, of Yale College, that the seed Of cotton
affords an abundant supply of Illuminating gas,
is noticed in complimentary manner, by the
English papers, and its due consequence ascri.
bed to it. 1t is little singular (remarks the
New York Times) that the great economy and
ease of procuring it,have not induced the com
panies engaged in the employment Of gas f5'
illumination, to repeat upon large scale the
experiment of Professor Olmstead. From per
sonal observation, we can bear testimony TO the
brilliancy of the light produced by this sas,and
cannot but think that ii may be advantageous
substituted for the more costly kind now IN
common use.
From remark in the Patriot Of last evening,
we are informed that the honor OF this disco

Extract Of letter from gentleman in Pennsylva-
mia TO q person in this City.
DEAR SIR: have just risen from a second
perusal of General Jackson's letter, lately pub
lshed, from the Kentucky Argus, and as you
seem desirous to know what think Of it, you
shall have an off hand, yet | hope it will be
thought an impartial opinion, OF that extraordi-
nary document.
do not recollect to have seen any produc-
ton Of the Generals pen that would very well
sustain criticism upon its style and arrange
ment; but this late letter of his appears to me
10 have more than usual share of defects in
these respects. | admit however, that private
and familiar letters 10 friends are not legitimate
subjects ofliterary criticism: and if thi, in ques-
ton be really one of that description, then even
its uncommon inaccuracy of style should per-
haps pass unnotlced
If this be indeed a letter that was not intend
ed by the writer Of it to meet the public eye,
what shall be thought Of the discretion OF the
person to whom 1t was intrusted! But wheth-
er designed or not for the public, it genuine,
which, could hope, for the credit OF the Cen
eral, it may prove not 10 be, we are come into
the posse ssion ofsentiments entert tanned by that
distinguished individual, which, must think,
it were better for him to have been forever bu-
ried in his own bosom. The General says:
when reflect upon the management and in
trigue which are operating abroad, the magni
tuGe OF the principles which they are endeavor-
ing to supplant, and the many means which
they can draw 10 their assistance, from the pat
ronage of the Government, feel it is not less
due to myself and to principle, than to the A
merican People, particularly so far as they have
sanctioned my political creed, to Steer clear OF
every conduct out Of which the idea might arise
that was manouvering fo- my own agSran-
dizement."
The sentiment, that person in General jack
sons present situation, candidate lor tne most
desirable station that could be conferred by man
should steer clear Of every sort OF conduct thai
m;oht occasion the slightest suspicion OF imam
,oempn,. % "in,rigue," and maneuyerlng," to
Accomplish the glorious dignity TO which he
asnires, is equally correct and honorable. But,
what is to be thought of the sincerity Of that
sentiment, in which he processes to hold himself
bonorably aloof from all suspicion Of election
eering designs, in one sentence, when, with the
next dash of his pen, he undertakes to decide,
although it is true, he does it alphabetically,
but still arguing upon it as an assumed fact,
that the President of the United States had
come into power contrary to the voice of the
People, and is now expecting, with the aid soi
his associates, s. by unworthy means, to mould
the public will so as to retain the power thus
unlawfully acquired. And explicitly putting
the question, Shall the Government or the Peo-
pie rule? Thus, in fact, appealing to the peo-
pie against the Government and the Constitu-

Article /. We agree to declare that not only,
as it is specified in the 4th article OF the above
mentioned treaty, the respective Consuls snail
enjoy, in both countries, as much in their per-
sons as for the exercise of their functions and
the protection they owe to their countrymen,
the same privileges which are or would be
granted to the Consuls Of the most favored ma
tions, but that these agents, shall be treated IN
all these respects, in both countries according
TO the principles of the strictest reciprocity.
Article2. We also declare that i'll greeting,
by the 18th article of the above treaty, that the
clause which requires the three-fourths OF the
crew of Brazilian ship to be Brazilians shall
| not be in force as long as the want of sailors
shall demand it; the parties herein concerned
do not intend to prolong the suspension of the
said clause beyond the six years already assign
ed as the term of many other stipulations Of
the treaty!
Article 8. Finally it is declared that the first
paragraph of the fourteenth article, which says
that, all the produce, merchandise, and arti-
cles OF whatever nature manufactured by the
subjects and in the territories of his most Chris
tian Majesty, shipped from the ports of France
for those Of Brazil, as well in French as in Bra
lillian vessels, and shipped for consumption,
that they shall pay, uniformly and generally,
the same duties which the subjects of the most
favored nations pay, or would pay; by this it is
to be understood, that the quantum Of duty is
! 5, per cent. on the value OF the goods, which
is to be determined according to the usual mode,
now established or 10 be established, and regu-
lated by the current price Of the day.
Article 4. These additional articles will be
as much in force, as If they had been inserted
in the treaty Of the 9Th Of January. 1926.
In consequence Of which, we the undersign-
ed, Plenipotentiaries of his most Christian Ma
jesty, and Of his Imperial Majesty, in virtue of
our full powers, have signed these articles, anG
have ordered the seals Of our arms to be affixed.
Given at Rio ne Janeiro, The 9TH of June, in

London, Dec. 23-The French papers of Tues
dav contain the answer of the Emperor Of Aus
tria TO the representatives of the Die, Of Hun
gary, Of which we some time ago gave an &C
count. The determined resolution and bold
language Of the Hungarian States have produ-
ced their proper effect at Vienna, and the Aus
trian Councillors of the King of Hungary have,
in consequence, thought it prudent TO remove
theiralarms by soothing explanations, or TO sa-
tisfy their wishes by timely concession. The
Emperor's address seems 10 increase in gentle
ness in proportion as his children aggravate
their complaints; and in the present rescript
he accumulates epithets of tenderness to make
them forget the reproofs of authority. "Vene-
rabe, worthy, llustrious excellent, distinguish
ed, and prudent, as well as very dear and faith
ful States General Of our kingdom Of Hungary"
is the mode in which he bespeaks indulgent at
tention to speech which may be considered as
an apology for his former menaces, or retrac-
ton of his former demands. He assures them
that he intended no attack on their constitution,
that he will certainly convoke Diet every three
years, and that even if they wish a meeting be-
fore the expiry of the first triennial term, he
will comply with their petition 10 that effect.
In conclusion, he begs them TO attend TO the
plies, which ihey had postponed till after the
adjustment Of their rights. AS the Emperor
could not condescend to soften his language with
out some pther ostensible reason than the def
ance Of IN subjects, he has found pre;ext for
The change in the mediating interference OF his
brother the Archduke Palatine. The States
General have voted thanks to his Imperial
Highness for his kind offices, but have not vo-
ted the mselves satisfied with the Emperor's ex-
plantations. 1t is said that they are now discus
sing another address with fresh demands.
What will Prince MeIternich say to this re-
iractory spirit among the Hungarian Aristo-
Gratis? They really seem more unmanageable
and dangerous than Italian Carbonari
The papers contain nothing further respect
ing the death Of the Emperor of Russia. II
will he observed that the notice Of this event in
the Hamburger papers is extremely meagre and
defective, neither stating the time, place, nor
circumstances in which it occurred. The fol-
lowing are extracts
