This was the signal for attack. The Brit

placing her between the Turkish and f.

fire upon the former. The Egyptian Ad-

the settlers had accumulated handsome
fortunes, and all were far beyond the reach
OF want; nay, indulging themselves with
many OF the Injuries and elegancies of
fashionable life: and new houses were con.
tlnualy in the progress of binding. Nor
was the necessity Of d IT sung educo'i1n
overlooked: Coz Dr. u. informs Us. that. 50

pec,. that all their children Of sufficient
age, could at lcas, read and write. The
attachment Of the People at the Cape, TO
trade and commerce, had caused them to
neglect agriculture IN some degree. but
that important interest was successfully up
at the settlement Of ST. Paul's about s or
9 miles distant. In short, from the account

. Of,he votes put down as doubtful, the
three in Missouri will probably be for Ad.
ans. New.York will be divided. Not more,
we are confident, than ten of the votes Of
that state will be for Jackson. The re
maInder will be more than sufficient to !
iect Adams. without any others on the
doubtful list But the chance Of the vote
Of Virginia being given for Adams, is
greater than the probability of Jock ckson's
having more than ten votes in New York.
Under whatever aspect, therefore, We may
view it, there is sufficient reason for per.
severance, in the confident belief that the
good cause viii finally be crowned with
success. Mass. Spy.

The Delaware was launched from the

and has not, until the present time, been

constructor. The style in which she is Ct.

The Prcsiicncy.-Thc Jackson papers
are taking the advantage oi'tha partial sic.
cess they have met with IN New-f York, TO
creaio an impression that his election to
the Presidency is certain; hoping thereby
to divide the friends of the Administration
and To throw them into confusion. But, so
far from its producing such an effect, it
ought to incite them 10 greater union and
activity. The chances of success are de
cidedly in their favor, and by union anr
perseverance they may save the country
from the odium OF eievatIng nero militia
ry man to the highest civil Office in the
government. The papers from all parts o!
New. York assert, that the late election Is
not at all indicative Of the state of feclinl
on the Presidential question:; that, IN MANI
counties, the opinions of the members, who
are now claimed "a jackson men. were no
known previous To the election, and that 8
great majority Of the people are for the
Administration. In the city 1t is adm .'cd
that there is probably a majority for Jack
son.
Let rs then look little at the probabili-
ties. The only States which can be claim
ell for the respective candidates with any
considerable degree of certainty. with the
number of votes they give, are arranged IN

VILLAGE OF ROCHESTER,. We under
stand from private and authentic source
that the census lately or now taking OF the
inhabitants Of Rochester, gives warrant to
say that they will amount to about II, 900
souls. In the fall of 1875 this ilourishing
village contained 527l inhabitants. Such
an extraordinary growth of population and
wealth as Rochester presents is without a
parallel in any country. Nat. Adv

GREECE.--.At last the blow has been
struck, which is to give Independence to
Greece. With all Europe in array against
him, the Porte may struggle for awhile, but
in the end must submit to whatever terms
the allies shall choose to dictate We care
not here for the result of the contest, as it
respects the fate Of Turkey, or the disposition
ofconquercd provinces among the victorious
but we look with intense interest upon the
fortunes of Greece. When we remember
with what valor her SONS have fought-what
sufferings even the women and children upon
her bosom have endured and associate these
yecollec,ions with those of Thcrmopylm, Ma.
yathon and Platep, with the heroes who con.
quered and poets who sung, and artists who
Tecreated nature in the days Of her iormer
glory, our hearts beat high with the hope Of
her emancipation, and of the revival OF the
literature and arts for which she was ones

POLITICAL PRINCIPLES.

1t cannot be forgotten that, soon after
the election of the Hon. Martin Van Buren,
to the Senate of the United States, he did
attempt to introduce into that body his sys-
tenn of party discipline, and to procure the
rejection OF nominations, not upon the ques-
ton Of honesty or fitness for trust, but up
on the test OF persons having voted one
way or another at a preceding election
Still less can be forgotten the recorded at
tempt to bring down upon the executive of
the United States the "irrepressible ener-
gy'' Of his party in New York, because the
President had the assurance, the honora-
bic Senator's displeasure to the contrary
Notwithstanding, to appoint the gallant SOL
der Solomon Van Rensselaer, Whose body
was scanned with scars Of honorable wounds
during the late wary to be Postmaster for
the city of Albany. The appeal was not
responded to; the Senate of the United
States was not then in the humor to be
6 organic ed )" and the attempt to establish
Central Junta at Washington, to control
the regular operation of this Government,
by means of pentioned presses and affiliat-
ed clubs in the States, was p0StpoRed-not
relinquished as we have seen in the sequel.
How far the plans, laid during the last win
ter for effecting the same object viii be
successful, remains to be seen. The hopes
of the party rest on the ability of Mr.. v B.
to transfer to the caucus of next winter, the
Hirty-Sir shares of stock which he contract
ed to them; and, if the people of New
York submit to be sold and transferred like
lot of sheep or a drove of oxen, we do
not see what is to prevent his making
President, or-being made President HIM
self Stranger things than that have hap
pened in this best of all possible worlds.
The vote of New-York, however, sup
posing Mr.. Van Buren, to be able to con-
troll it, would be wholly inefficient for his
purposes, whatever they are, without re-
tanning also the southern votes. These,
from the absence of previous organization,
cannot be controlled or directed by mere
party terms and, to secure their co-ope-
ration, there must be some pretence or re-
gard to principle. Mr.. Van Buren, is too
skilful a navigator not to have discovered
this shoal, .on which his fortunes might be
wrecked and he has taken care, therefore,
in good time, to cast an anchor to wind
ward. An opportunity was afforded him
for doing so in his letter to the President
of the Senate Of New-York, accepting his
reelection to the Senate. Looking one
way and rowing another--his face towards
New FORK, his mind with Virginia, he says
to the Senate Of New-York--" 1t shall be
my constant and jealous endeavor to pro-
tect the remaining rights reserved to the
States by the Federal Constitution to re-
store those Of aslich they hare been dirested

PISA. APRIL H. 1896.

FISA, APRIL 10, 1870.
On the 9Th inst. Vettu1iaO was en-
gagged to take US from Genoa, to this place,
distance of something more than $50 Eng
lish miles, for sixty francs each, including
dinner and lodgings during the journey.
This is the ordinary mode of travelling in
Italy. The UetarrG is sort of public coach,
with two, and sometimes three or four hors-
es, generally owned by the driver, who per-
forms the whole route with the same team,
making long rests at the hotels, in the man.
ner Of private carriages. The road from
Genoa, to Pisa, like that between the for
mer place and Nice, traverses the shores of
the Mediterranean, crossing alternately
lofty ridges and deep Wales, springing from
the western declWides of the Apprentices,
and forming one of the most romantic dis
tricts imaginable.
We reached the little village of Borget-
to, and passed an hour not unpleasantly in
rambling upon the banks of the chrystal
stream, which hurries down from the APP
pennies, A singular costume was here for
the first time observed. The females wear
on the head white napkin folded square,
and projecting in front, to shade the face.
Here also the ancient mode of wrapping
children in swaddling clothes arrested our
attention. II gives them the appearance
of mummies, and must be extremely injuri-
rious to health, producing stagnation OF
blood, and preventing a natural develope-
ment of their limbs, The practice prevails
among all the lower classes in this part OF
Italy, and may be one cause of dwarhsh
population. These warm and rich valleys
extending far into the bosom Of the Appen-
ines, are chiefly appropriated to the culture
of corn, the olive and the vine. The mode
of cultivating the is peculiar, forming
striking feature of the landscape. II il
