correspondents Of the New.Yo Mercantile
Advertiser informs US, that the ship Pacific had
lust arrived from Liverpool, bringing papers
10 the 9Th ul,imo, the contents of which had
not been ascertaineG. Paris papers to The 18th

containing, however, no news ofimportance-
A rumour had reached that city, that the House
of Commons was strongly in favor of Mr.. Can

The number Of persons attending, as stated in
private letters, was from 1900 TO 1000. The
Baltimore Patriot remarks, that the whole cha
rac,er of The meeting was highly satisfactory,
and afforded the strongest evidence that "the
bone and sinew" of Baltimore is IN favor Of the
present Administration and will give a tri-
umphant vote for the reelection Of John Quin-

The ,umultuary conduct Of the Hero's fol-
lowers, at the late election in Shenandoah couh
" Virginia, has drawn the following remarks
from The able editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette:
"Such scenes as these are new in our conn
,rv But it seems TO me that they are IN per-
s.c, consistency with, and the natural and OBJ
vious consequence Of, the course pursued oy
the supporters Of Gen. Jackson, and, indeed,by
the General him self"
"After the General had acquired his militia
nv celebrity, and before the Presidential can
vass COMMENCED, he was engaged IN con'ro'er-
~ with several distinguished individuals In
stead Of treating them with the respect anu
courtesy always observed by gentlemen towards
one another: instead Of observing those rules o.
ciyili,y & decency which ordinary good oreea-
ing requires all men to observe towards each
other, he adopted rude, haaghty, ana ins'i'
ing tone Of conduct, and employed much u
coarse epi,he, and vulgar abuse. Gov Naou"'
of Georgia, MIR. Crawford, Secretary OF war,
Gen. Affair, Gen Scott, and Judge Fromen'in'
are amongst The number OF gentlemen, thus
treated by Gen. Jackson. The language he
held in his correspondence with the three lat
ter, is such as the least intelligent individuals
in society employ, when enraeed' and prepared
for outrage and violence. When the Presiden-
ia, canvass opened, the example thus set by
,ho chief was followed by his adheren's."
"Eyery political man must remember the '0'-
rent, Of obIoquy poured out upon Mr. oraw'
lord. by the Jackson presses, durns the w'n'e'

have risen from the place of simple physician,
10 the endowment of an extraordinary influence,
which he has kept undiminished from the very
commencement OF the revolution?
The regular troops, now diminished to- a

learn that Miauls has gone on board and taken
her to Egina, where The National Assembly is
now sitting How she will be disposed Of,
know not yet; the general wish is, that she may
be commanded and manned by Americans
but this seems hardly probable. Government
have received letters from Cochrane, dated
Marscies, where he is making arrangements
withthe European committees, for the purchase
of large corvette of thirty-two guns, bull, for
the Pacha of Egypt, bu, which he has not the
means of paying for. Lord Cochrane's Expo
dition is the shee,-anchor Of Greece, and hope
brightens now into certainty. Something will
be done in the Spring, the Greeks have already
two of the most powerful vessels that swim, in
their service; speak of this one, and the six
ty-four gun ship More will probably arrive
this winter; and if they have been able, with
their little feet Of merchant briggs, to NEE, with
the Turkish line of battle ships, what may not
be hoped from an equal force. Give us the
sea, and Turkey may pour in upon US as many
hordes as ever did Persia, and Greece will be as
little harmed by them.
In my next hope to give you an account OF
the operations Of the National Assembly, which
have just been convened at Esina.
