 Clay In no other important act of his life has he manifested such fear. No distinguished individual in our country are bold to affirm, has been more regardless OfcOnsequences, or has set lighter bypubc opinion, when called upon to perform any important public service, than has Gen. Jackson. As leader of armies, arbter upon the lives of his fellow men, citizen, seeking his interest and prOs- periy, he has appeared to bid defiance to the good or bad opinion which others might form of him. A fear that his motives would be misconstrued if he opposed Mir. Clay not the principle which indu- ced him vote he did. If such the fact, he is in twofold unfit for the presidency. No, the truth s this friend of his who intimated to him that corrupt bargain going on between Mir. Adams and Mr. Clay, and advised him accept of certain tures and thus by corruption defeat corruption, supposed by him to speak without authority, and his dark nsinuations were consideredas the idle offspring of political jealousy, and of course disregarded; and we arc very much mistaken if the Geneaal does not soon learn that had been better for hi had he to this day manifested the same disregard to these groundless charges of corruption, instead of becoming himself the principal acccuser of his political oppo- nents.
 This letter is not in itself direct charge against Mr. Adams and Mir. Clay; it is however evidently the in- tention of the General that such charge should be understood as implied and it will be considered by ] the accused and coming it does from man claim ing for himself an uncommon share of stern integrity and Roman-like patriotism it will be investgated;- and ifthe General reaps any additional laurels by the investigation, and his opponents meet with an over- throw, it will be the first time that headsrong, ungov- l .l~l rl I dor, before an enlightened community.

 On the lst of June, Mir Canning, chancellor of the exchequer brought forward his budget which he explained in a clear and business hke-speech.-The deficiency in the income for the year, is about two millions sterling, nine millions of doars--a sum nearly equal whole ordinary annual expenditure,
 not including redemption of debt payment of inter- est This deficiency Mir. Canning proposed to remedy, by issue of exchequer bills, rather than by new loan. It that the exchequer bill of E10O, bear ing interest of only per cent is at premium in the market of Sos. or 1-2 per cent.

 Letters from Constantinople, of the 9th May state that the Turks were making great preparations for war, and would not listen to the European demands in favour of Greece. The reports of pacific arr rangement came by the way of Odessa, and were of old date. r# There rumors in circulation at Odessa on the 18th of May that Lord Cochrane had struck great blow. They were from accounts from Constantinopie giving neither time, place, nor circumstances and are therefore of suspicious character.
 PORTUGAL.--lt is stated in some of the English papers, it is said, good authority, that negotiation had been going for the evacuation of Spain by the French troops, and of Portugal by the British but broken off by the refusal of the French to quit Spain. This must lead to the augmentation of the British troops in Portugal the fate of that Kingdom must be left to the decision of the French and Span- sh armies All the late seem to agree in rep- resenting the affairs of Portugal in melancholy light.
