diaty wrthy the Chief Magistrate Of free Reppb-
nc. Among those introduced there was one. whose
address was as singular as MIR. Adams reply was
happy and appropriate. He observed--''Mr. Pres
adenf' Though Idi0er fromy you in opinion, am glad
10 tnd you an good healh." The President gave
him hearty shake of the hand, and replied-''Sir,
ION withoiM being eaemies.S This circumstance,

.qbridgcment of Scotl's Napoleon-An abridge-
ment of this youminous work has just been publish
ed in New York. 1t s comprised in closely pr,n-
ted octave volume of $50 pages. The plan adopt
ed by the editor has been to omit, in the first place.
the preliminary view ofthe French revolution, an
event in which Bonaparte had but little share, and
the account of which, in the pages of Scott mark
ed by some unfayorable statements against Lafay-
ette In the second place, he has excluded certain
irrelevant political d'squistioDs and narratives OF
events of collateral nature and not Immediately
connected with the life of Napoleon. In the third
place, two, and sometimes four chapters have been
united into one, and their headings abbreviated.
The editor observes that he has been studous to
tain all the facts which have an immediate connec-
tion with the Of Napoleon, and these are CIV
en- in the very language of the author Of Waverly.
From the Viiiage Record.
We publish Mr.. Eatons letter entire, not because
we see, in the greater part of it, any thing to
mand special attention. but because it has been long
and anxously looked for, and believe the reader
will like to the whole Of it, The public were led
to believe it would have important bearing upon
the Presidential question. To US appears to
tain very little. touching that matter merely. Two
things stated are. however, important. The avow-
al that Mr.. Eaton furnished the editor OF the Coum-
bian Observer fifteen hundred dollars! And the
declaration that Mr.. Buchanan proposed to fight
the opponents of General Jackson with their.own
weapons-that is. by intrigue, &c. This is denied.
and we cannot but believe, that Mr.. Eaton, in this
particular, msconceived Mr.. Buchanan--a7olt
will be remarked that the letter does not, in the
| smallest degree. go to raise a suspicion that Mr..
Clay made any proposition to General jackson
through Mr.. Buchanan ; and this, be it remembered
is the great question at issue between GEN. Jackson
and the public. --
| The editor oftbe Z" Courier published in Por-
tage, Ohio, says. We are well assured, that ut
least two-hrs of both branches of the next Legis-
laure of Ohio will be in favor of the reelection Of
Mr.. Adams. There seventeen members Of the
senate, whose term of service have not yet expred
tareLve ofwhom, and probably thirteen are admins
tration men. Of the nineteen districts from which
the senators are to be chosed at the approaching
election not less than twelve will give majortes in
favour of the administration. OF the representa-
tives to the next congress romthis stateeLeUea
in favour of the administration, and too opposed TO
it." So much for Ohio. q. S. Gazette.
