ACCordlngto tne Natl0flal Johrhal, Conltnissoncfs
have been sent to our North East frontier to inquire
into the outrages which are said to have been com
mtted in that quarter, by persons assuming to act
under the authority ofBritsh Magistrates. lfthere
be any Just Of complaint, the President will
have the evidence to lay before Congress. 1t is not
snnposed that the British Government has authorised,
or will sanction. any acts of outrage committed by
It's subjects on American citizens and if such have
been committed, it is expected that that Govern
,nent will adopt such measures as will prevent
repetition, as soon as the proper testimony OF the
facts shall be produced.
On the 18th instant, the Hon. ". S. Bldckledgc
late member of Congress, was nominated as an
Adams Elector, at a very respectable meeting at
Newbern, ". Carolina. Among the Committee of
correspondence, we notice the names OF j. ii. Bry-
an at present member of Congress from ~ Caro-
lima. and q; Wm Castor, formerly one of the most
DISTINGUISHED members of the House Of Representa-
tyes which that State ever furnished. The pre-
sent occasion has called forth, in defence Of good
government, most of the distinguished andtruly res
pectable men in Virginia and, from present ap-
sister State, North Carolina. The Newbern meeting,
after expressing their confidence in the present hd-
ministraon, SC. sc. request the members OF their
Legislature now in Session, to aid in forming an anti
jackson Electoral Ticket throughout the State.
Since the above was written, we have noticed the
follow inc in the National lntelligencer.
