the House Of Commons by Mr.. Canning, on the lst

leave the chair, a long debate ensued and an
mendment was moved, that whenever the average
price OF wheat made up and published in manner
required by law, shall be CAS-. and 65s the quarter

F.cTs.-A single mercantile house, on Long
wharf. Boston, has sold. since the first Of January
last, Muy-seuen Thousand barrels of Genaessce
flour of which less than 500 barrels have been dis
passed Of stwise the remainder has been sold to
country traders and chiefly to those in the manu-.
featuring villages.
Another house has paid, since the first of April,
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for Americma
wool, purchased of farmers and wool growers be.
longing to the New England states and New York,
and sold out again to the manufacturers of New
England.

THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.
Extract of letter dated Opelousas, Louisiana

August27.
We had an administration meeting here on the
goth. About 500 people attended; and it is now
ascertaned that there are only 40 or SO Jackson
ties in the county consequently the Adams tucked
will obtain a majority of about 450 votes. All the
French and creoes together with four iifths Of the
American population in the parishes of St. Mary.
|St. Martins, and Lafayette, are decidedly with the
administration. Be assured Connecticut itselts nor
more certain for Adams than Louisiana.
Extract of a letter from Cincinnati. dated Sep. IT,
8 Ohio will 20 almost unanimous for the admins.
Itraton. Indeed, believe we shall have majority
in Cincinnati, the very hot-bed of Jacksonsm IN
this State.
We had an administration meeting yesterday az
the Circus. 1t was the largest and most respectable
meeting every held IN this city-Major William
Rufin, late high sheriff of this county, was called
to the chair, and Benjamin Drake, ESQ. and Smith
Crossin Esq were appointed secretaries. General
Harrison, our Senator in Congress, delivered avery
able and eloquent address TO the meeting.
The meeting was also addressed by Samuel W.
Davies, Esq. Charles Hammond, Esq. and many
other of our old and respectable citizens The
General dwelt long on the policy and the measures
| of the existing government-spoke freely of the
woolen's bill-explalned why it was rejected, Sc
Sc 1t was indeed the most powerful address ever
heard from him. This meeting will help our cause
very much. The district has always been consider

been made by some of the opposition papers, (the
Telegraph acting as bell-weather.) "to reconcile
the statement Of MIR. Buchanan with that of Gen.

(says he) that is irreconcable." We call on the

all his hope Of political salvation, to come forward
and defend his own revised opinions and not to
suffer himself to be thus pricked by hobnail.'

that 6 ,,iae-tenhs of the American people were to
