win. As iI Is oi little consequence with which of these men the inquiry first begins, will propose few queries to your cor respondent relating particularly to the sub- ject which he appears to have under se- consideration and thereby, directing his attention to the precise point, will enable him to get along faster in his discussion- to preserve proper degree of consistency in his communcation, and at the same time do ample justice to this important sub ject.
 Was Mr. Sterling representative in Congress immediately prior to the election of MT. Merwin? Was Mir. Merwin mem- Der of the Legislature of this State when a caucus, composed of Legislative members, placed his name upon the congressional nomination? Was Mir. Sterling superseded by the nomination of Mir. Merwin! Did MT. Merwin personally solicit such nomi- nation at the expence of Mir. Sterling, or any other man? Did !le manage, and in- trigue, to obtain it! Did he assure any member, or number of members, of that caucus, that if he could be elected to Con- gress at that time, that he would be per- fectly satisfed-would never ask, or ex- pect, re-election-would never interfere any further claim upon his party, and would ever afier remain perfectly satisfied Did MT. Merwin have the delicacy to give this pledge personality Were any of the members of our last State caucus also mem- bers of that caucus that displaced MT. Ster- ling-and did it so happen that this pledge had been given them Did any of them at the last caucus vote for MT. Merwin, or did they consider MT. Merwin and his friends as playing a double game? Does Mir. Merwin and his friends wish to create scism and discord in the party to which he and they profess to belong? Does Mir. Merw;n expect that the stale cry of FAR MFRS aducrSus think the term is LAW YERs is to raise whirlwind upon which he is to ride, and from which he is to guide the storm?
 It is expected that your correspondent will truly answer the above questions; & in due time, if he wishes to pursue the in- vestigation, he may be furnished with a few more queries relating to the private as we'll as the political life of his friend, Mir. Merwin. And also, as profess to pre- serve strict neutrality between both these gentlemen, your correspondent may rest assured that when the investigation into Mir. Mcrwin's life is completed, we will take up that of Mir. Sterling, and ascertain, if possible, which is chaff and which wheat.

Mir. SMITH,,

MT. SMITH,
 Sir-I perceive by several communica- tions in your paper, that war has com menced between the friends eff MT. Mer- win and MT. Ansel Sterling. Now as it regards the political party to which these gentlemen belong, it is very much mat ter of indifference which of them is elected to the next Congress except in this one particular,- us have the one which is the most honest. Either of them know enough to discharge the ordinary duties that may devolve upon them but if either of them is knave, no one could repose a confidence in him. A writer in the Post of the 18th inst. has commenced person. al attack upon Mir. Sterling, and this, un- der all circumstances, is altogether proper. I trust he will fearlessly'' persue the course he has adopted-the community expect at his hands statement of facts susceptible of procf relative to both tho poe Iitical and private life of Mir. Sterling, which will eviuce to the public that he is unworthy their suhrages--display before us his vices, his private and political sins and foIlies-i. c. if he has been guilty of any. And it is expected also that this cor respondent of yours will pursue tue same impartial course with respect ,o Mr. Mer-

 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
 The advices from Odessa. relative to the War between Russia and Persia were increa:. sing in interest. The Russians had fought. several battles with the natives, but, although in all these engagements, the advantages were on the side of his Imperial Majesty. yet in each succeeding engagement the bravery of the Persians became more conspicuous, and the farther the invaders proceeded, the more certain was considered their ultimate de- struction.
 A very serious disturbance commenced in ConstantinOple on the 2Gd of October. The Grand Scignior, at whose court. it appears, the most accomplished diplomatists of Europe are at present assembled, began on the QQd, and up to the 26th, when the Maltese vessel sailed, he had put to death, or rather legitim- ateIy executed, upwards of 5000 of his sub jects. The shops of the Turks were general ly closed, and the most gloomy forebodings entertained by those whOleither actually then were, or hereafter might be, considered hos tile to his Sublime Highness.
 On the 9th of July fire broke out in Batavia, which destroyed one hundred and eighty houses, and property to asconsiderable amount.
 The news from Greece is generally of a more favorable aspect. A great number of the inhabitants of Romelia had rebelled a. gainst the Porte. Lord Cochrane has left Marseilles for Leglorn. His Lordship, tho distressed and irritated by the delays in the construction and equipment of the steam ves- sels. and all the fraudulent proceedings of in- dividuals with respect to the Greek loans, is still very far from despairing of the success of the Greek cause, ,er thinking that he cannot effectualy serve it.

.March 18th, 1927.
Sin scnd herewith. copy of the Presidents
frocla,naton, dated this day by the effect Of which
you will perceive that the trade between the Uni
ted States and certain colonial ports of Great
Britain, as opened by the act Of Congress, of the
first of March, 1923, entitled j" An act to regu-
late the commercial intercourse between the Uni
ted States and certain British colonial ports, is
closed and that the provisions of the act of A.
pril the eighteenth, 1918, entitled "An act con-
cerning Navigation,' and those of the act of May
the fifteenth, 1920, entitled an act, supplementary
to an act entitled An act concerning Navigation,'"
are in force. These several acts have heretofore
been transmitted to you at periods when their pro-
visions were in operation, but copies Of them are
again enclosed for your information and govern
ment.
AS British vessels from some of the colonial
ports specified in the first section of the act of the
first OF March, 1898, may now be within the United
States. and consequently, must have arrived ante
ror to the date of the Proclamation, the President
directs, that all such British vessels be allowed to
depart from our ports with their cargoes. As 9TH
ers may arrive between the date of the Proclama-
ton, and the time Of its reaching you, he also d-
rects, that, to these, the forfeitures and penal
ties of the aforesaid acts of April the 18th, 1878,
and May the 18th, 1920, be not enforced: but that
they. too, be permitted to depart. And if, after
you shall have received the Proclamation, British
vessels should arrive within the ports of the United
States from some one or more of the said British
Colonial ports, in ignorance of the existing prohi-
bition, which the laws impose to their entry, the
President further directs, that, in the case of all
British vessels arriving prior to the first day Of
July next, you cause notice to be given to them, as
soon as possible, of the prohibitions accompanied by
orders for their departure within twenty tour hours
without unlading; upon their failure to comply
with which orders, you will proceed to enforce
against them the provisions of the acts last rected.
In case Of all British vessels arriving within our
ports, from any Of the aforesaid British colonial
ports, after the first Of July, you will. forthwith
enforce against them the provisions Of those acts.

Ertract of letter to the Editors Of the Watchnun
dated in Susser County, DEL, March Is, 1897


The language which the Delaware Gazette
applies to the present Administration is disgusting
to nine tenths of its readers in this County 1t by
no means speaks the sentiments Of the party who
support that paper, the Federalists here, as well
as the Democrats, almost unanimously approve Of
the measures of government, and entertain just
displeasure at the groundless opposition which is
made to them by certain set of politicians. who,
it is feared have other object in view, than their
own interest and advancement to Offices. Ofseven
or eight of Mr.. Harker's subscribers in my mme-
diate neghborhood, not one of them is opposed to
Mr.. Adams, and they will do all in their power to
promote his reelection, and as most of them
of sound Judgment, good education, correct prnci
ples and strict integrity, and their opinions al
ways have great weight and influence, their efforts
will not be fruitless. You may rely upon it, that
Mr.. Harker, in endeavoring to produce an impress
sion that the Administration is unpopular in Sussex
is guilty of an attempt to deceive his readers Kent
County is also for Adams, 8 to 10.
We are aware that MIR. Harker labors ndefati-
gably to abuse Mr.. Adams-and we are also aware
that he once labored indefatigably to abuse Gen
eral jackson. and he has given such evidence Of
the unsettled state of his principles and the insta-
bility Of his opinions with regard to presidential af
fairs, that his labors to promote injure the
of any candidate for the chief magistracy, are but
Of little consequence"

The Unpriucipled Opposition. ."-We have al
ready published Mr.. Giles's famous resolutions Of
fered in the House of Delegates of Virginia, and
informed our readers Of their passage in that.body
They have also passed the Senate, in which body
Mr.. Cabell moved new resolution, as follows:
"rhat the Legislature of Virginia will sustain the Cen
era Government in the exercise Of its legitimate powers
The resolution was adopted 12 to 10. So it
seems that in the Senate of Virginia there are ten
men whose opposition to the present administration
is so unprincipled and rancorous, that they have
declared their determination not to support it even
in :" the exercise of its Legitimate powers."-
They have ayowed their intention to endeavor to
thwart every measure recommended by, or having
the sanction of, Mr.. Adams or his cabinet, though
their opposition should produce an irreparable in
Jury to the country.
The Administration and its friends have nothing
to fear from such opponents. On the contrary, a
course of conduct like that Of the ten Senators of
the s. Old Domininn,o will cause the friends of
the constitution, the lovers Of good order, the sup
porters Of Domestic Manufactures and Internal
improvements. to rally to the support ofan admin
,stration opposed by men of such stamp. tits

community can unite with those who will oppose
