The Philadelphia papers informed US, few days

shortly in that city, for The period of month";
FROM the National Gazette We now learn that ali
expectations of visit TO that city by the corps are
at an end.
The negotiation with Signor Garcia, which has
been pending for some days, and of which favor
able termination was anticipated has altogether fall

come TO Philadelphia were made to Signor Garcia,
by some gentlemen: and Mr.. Warren. the manag-
er, always desirous to contribute to the amusement
OF the public, offered all the accommodations O! his
Theatre, tor less than one half OF the charges which
are paid in New York The basis of the arrange.
ments rendered to Signor Garcia was that he should
EXHIBIT operas here, for t9elue si.rteen nights,
and That the 1rhote erpenses attending them should
be guaranteed to him, while all the profits which
might be derived from them, should belong to him
eTctas'rpty. He was assured, by the opinions oi
those mos. competent 10 Judge Of the subject, that
those profits would exceed eight thousand dollars.
1t was understood that Sgnor Garcia was entirely
sansheo with those terms and measures were taken'

Some OF the opposition prints in New Jersey
complain that desire Is evinced by the friends Of
the administration to exclude its enemies from the
Sists Legislature. at the next election. We are not
disposed to mince this matter in the least. There
is a manifest improPrety in permitting our state
elections invariably to hinge on national questions
bur there are occasions. and the present is one of
them, IN which the character OF the state and its
true interests concerned in the exclusion Of the
traducers OF the benefactors of the nation and the
enemies Of lis tranquility. Most clearly those who
with tactous and interested views, oppose Just go
vernment, which is approved by vast mainry of
the people, and who only seek admission into the
councils ol the country TO thwart its lust policy and
viityits administration, ought not 10 receive the suf
frages oi generous and patriotic people. Shall
New Jersey send another Senator to Congress who
will oppose, regardless Of the sentiments Of the
stae whose sovereignty he represents, every useful
measure right or wrong--who will s quietly and
hear her most distinguished citizen, high in the con-
hdence OF the nation-lhe prize OF his s,ate--as
sailed by the most cslumnious aud disgusting Ian
guage-who VIII resist every plan which emahates
from his department, without disnctonT W. trust
not not for the honour of the state at least for
the service OF the public. And for this reason, we
trust the honest voters of the state will cone out in
their strength and vindicale New Jersey from the
opprobrlum OF lending herself as the tool of fac
''on, Wh'ch the public voice has already condemned
10 lniamy. We trust such men will be selected at
the county elections, who will feel convinced iha,
The intelligence, the moral character Of New Jersey.
require In her senator some regard for the decency,
order and dignity of the body in which he sits and
some disposition to frown on such scenes as during
last winter diseraced the floor on which they were
exh'blted-and who will yield, without bcraynp the
interests and policy Of his native slate an able and

The following statement from the Report OF The
Commissioners Of the Morris Canal. in New Jersey,
exhibits the advantages of Inclined Planes as sub
stitute ior Locks, as respects economy in time and
labor, both in the construction of the walk and in
overcoming the elevation.
"An inclined plane costing about S6500 will with
certainty and safety i boat and cargo up height
of SO feet in 2 minutes, while the opei alton
by lockage, would cost S22500, and occupy as mi
nues. Persons who doubt the strength OF chain
and materials, may satisfy themselves by sewiog
the Dry Dock, where vessels of 200 are carried
up plane less solid than ours, which never be
subjected to strain OF above so tons. The value
OF The improvement may be estimated by consider
ing, that, out Of 1850 feet of rise and a about 47O
will be upon Inclined planes, probably costing Sl84,
900. and requiring six hours to pass whereas a
lockage OF the same height wond cost 1862 600
and occupy nearly % hours, besides all annual ex.
pense ior extra lock keepers"

We observe in theINew Harmony Gazette an
Grafton delivered BY RoBERr OWEN, in the
Public Hall a: New Harmony, at the celebra
ton of the Fourth Of July, 1926 The Grafton
is conspio iously presented as containing"a dec
laratlon of Mental Independence" for which
the Grafton says the declaration of Political In
dependence happily led the way. This Dis
course strikes al the root Of all social institu-
tons, as al present organized, and denounces'
and proposes to rend asunder, some Of the ties
hitherto considered most sacred in civilized
Christian communities. The following extract
from the Grafton embraces, in brief space,
the sum Of the doctrines it inculcates:
81 now DECLARE, 10 you, and to the world,
that aan up to this hour, has been, in all parts OF
The earth, a Siqrs TO a TRINITY Of The most mon
sfrous e,dis that could be combined 10 intct mental

81 refer to Private, OR INDIVIDUAL PROPER
TY-ABsuRD AND IRRATIONAL SYSTEMS OF kELT'
eIoY-and MARRIAGE, FOUNDED ON INDIVIDUAL
PROPERTY COMBINED WITH SOME ONE OF THESE
IRRATIONAL SYSTEMS OF RELIGION"
1The Typographical style Of the above ex-
tract is that Of the original.
The destruction Of this "Hydra of Evils" is
earnestly incucated, ard il is denounced IN ev-
ery form of accusation, as being "the real and
only cause Of all the crime, and misery arising
from crime, which can be found in human soci-
ety." The Orator takes the broad ground, that
II 81 ould be reputable, and authorized By lar, TO
dissolve marriage, "when the esteem and affec-
ton canno, be retained for each oiher!

Consiantinople, May ls.-Wi:hin few days,
FIVE sacks have arrived in this capital lled with
heads and ears, sent from Missolonghl, with
several standards, sc. The arrival OF four
Greek captains, made prisoners, was also ex.
pected; but it is reported that they were rescued
on their route by band OF insurgents.
Ii is announced that the Captain Pacha has
been for three days in the Dardanelles, and that
he demands to be allowed to come and pass
few days at Constanineple. Yesterday the
large ships Of the squadron, armed during last
winter at Constantinople, set sail tor the OAR
danelles. This squadron is composed OF four
double decked ships of the line, 4 trigates, and
10 or - vessels carrying from 90 to % pieces
Of cannon. A first division has already gone TO
sea in April 1t is belle we'd that the Captain
Pacha, in concert with Ibrahim, will attempt
the reduction Of Hydra and Spezzla.
I, is reported that the government of Napo-
Ii ha, been transferred to Hydra, and that all
the Greek ships have been ordered to Egina,
to prepare for the attack, with which the insur-
gents suppose themselves to be menaced OH the
part Of the Ottoman fleet.
The entire corps Of artillery has received
considerable augmentation of pay. The mere
cannonicrs touch more than 100 pia0ters year,
and from grade TO grade this increase is car
ried to 100000 piasters, the pay OF the com
mander in chief.

Corfu, May 2o.--lbrahim continues to remain

the arrival OF the forces Of Ibrahim Bey from the
Dardanelles This circumstance is regarded
as proof of the extent Of his LOSSES before
Missolonghi, by which he is reduced to the de-
fensive Difficulties of serious nature are
said 10 exist between him and The Scraskier
Reschid Pacha.
The Greeks are taking advantage Of this In
action 10 provision Napoli di Romania, and 10
pu, il in a good state of defence The rumor
goes, that Miaulis had captured in the waters
of Hydra, convoy of IA Egyptian vessels
coming from Alexandria, laden with provisions
and ammunition, and had sent them into Napo-
Ii, to assist in provisioning the place. The
| Captain Pacaa had already arrived on the 10th
of May in the waters Of lpsara, TO render as
sistance to the expedition of I5rahim Bey.'
All is prepared also at Hydra 10 make firm
resistance.
If it is that the Captain Pacha had arrived on
the 10th May in the waters of HYDRA he must have set
sail from the Dardanelles before the date OF our intel
lirence from Constantinople. French Editor.

frankness that is creditable 10 him, gives his
opinion that the Administration ought-like
every administration which has preceded II,
and like every one that will follow ito
