Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Loudoun
county, Virginia, to y friend in Washington.
The suggestion of al able and judi.
cious writer, in the Richmond Wing, of
the propriety ofthe people Of Virginia,

lectoral ticket, has attracted considera-

yond doubt, by the citizens of Loudoun;
and their example will certainly be i'm.
mediately followed by the citizens Of
Jefferson and Berkeley; all of these
counties, as you know, are amongst the
most populous in the State. The coun'
ty of Loudoun contains upwards Of 1000
freeholders. The most sanguine friend
of the General would not expect goo of
them ovote for him. MI. Adams's cha
racter as a mar and as a statesman is
held in great estimation in this county,
and his Cabinet is also highly APPROX
ed.
The vote of the State of Virginia, l
am convinced, will present a result very
different from the one wished by the po-
lliticians about Richmond, and so conf
IDENTITY calculated upon 10 their publica-
tons. The formation Of a respectable
IL ctorial ticketby individuals chosen BY
the people for that express purpose, and
Having no c%onnexicn with the intriguers
and combinations of the members of the
Assembly, will have a happy effect up
on their minds; and will, | confidently ex-
pect, yet enable them to throw the
weight Of our ancient and patriotic com-
monwea lth into the scale of civil virtue
and civil talents, against that of military
passion aud acknowledged civil incapa.

The letter Of Mr.. Buchanan has pro-
duced great effect, and the popularity
of Mr.. Clay is daily increasing. W. are,
here, strongly inclined to claim him as
a native of Virginia, and thus to increase
the glory of the "Old Dominion by
making her q sharer of the fame of his
eIoquence, his ability and his patriot.

There is to be a meeting in Loudoun
early in October, for the purpose of

talents and weight.
Commerce of the Mediterranean
The risks have become so great to
ships navigating the Mediterranean,
that the commaDdanl of the Cadiz sta
ton has placed a vessel off the entrance
ofthe Straits of Gibraltar to warn them
Iof their danger, and to recommend
waiting at Cadiz for a convoy. This
measure has been adopted in compli-
lance with a request from Vice Admiral
Jacob, Maratime Project at Toulon.
It is not stated from what source dan.
ger is apprehended; but it is to be pre-
sumed that the Algerines are the OBJ.
Ijeets of dread, who seem to distress the
commerce of France as much as the
Colombian p~rivateers do that OF
Spain. 1t is discreditable for one OF
the great powers of Europe to be SO
perplexed by a petty piratical state, ap
parently without the capacity to Sc
cure herself. -
