to Mr.. S. by friend, said to be Zen. Eaton.
| To this note Mr. S. wrote an answer, ano hand.

because il was sealed:-and he had brought
an open note. Mr. S. remarked, that he had

and as he had declined to receive it,she would

he accordingly sent it,, On receiving this an.

most Of the remarks which have been made.
This reply Mr.. S. had shown to one or two
friends as matter of actual curiosity. Some
one OF Cen Jackson's friends having obtained
a rumor Of its contents, called on Mr.. S. and
requested him to show it to him; and upon pc
rusaI, requested further, as the friend Of Gen.

and it was Withdrawn accordingly. So goes
the tale.

HORRID OCCURRENCE.
Tuscaloosa, (a!ab. June 3o.-Some time du.
ring the last week one of those outrageous trans
actions-and we really think, disgraceful to the
character Of civilized man, took place near the
North East boundary line of Perry, adjoining
Bib and autauga counties. The circumstan-
ces, we are informed, by gentleman from that
county, are: shat Mr.. McNeily having lost
some clothing or some other property, Of no
great value, the slave Of neighboring planter
was charged with the theft McNeily in COM
pany with his brother, found the negro driving
his masters wagon they seized him, and either
did, or were about to chastise him. when the
negro stabbed McNeily, SO that he died IN an
hour afterwards--the negro was taken before
Justice Of the Peace, who, after serious delihera-
ton, waved his authority; perhaps through fear,
as the crowd Of persons from the above coun-
ties had collected to the number OF 70 or 80
near Mr.. Peoples (the jusiice) house. He act
ed as president Of the mob, and put the vote,
when it was decided he should be Immediately
executed by being burnt 10 deafh-,he sable cul-
prit was led to tree and tied TO It, and large
quantity OF pine knots collected, and placed a.
round him. and the fatal torch was applied to
the pile, even against the remonstrances OF Sc
veral gentlemen who were present; and the mi
serable being was in short time burnt TO ashes.
. An inquest was held over the remains, and
the sheriff Of Perry County, with accompany
of about twenty men, repaired 20 the neighbor-
hood where this barbarous act took place, to
secure those concerned, but with what success
we have not heard, but we hope he will succeed
in bringing the pei operators OF so high hande d
ameasure to account TO their country for their
conduct in this affair. This is the second ne

The Telegraph has told us-and as it as
sumes TO be the organ Of the Opposition, it
ought to speak advisedly-that Mr.. Marley is
the authority upon which Gen. Jackson found
ed his charge Of "bargain, intrigue. and man
agement" against Mr.. Clay and his friends.
The same organ has told US, and in the same
breath, that Mr.. Markley is destitute OF moral
principle, and unworthy OF credit. VIII II
explain to the public, how it happened that
General Jackson, man so emlnently enoow-
ed with wisdom, prudence and discretion,
should venture to make so serious charge,
upon authority so little entitled to confidence!
Or will it explain to us why, with the
Generals letter before is, it should take sueh
different ground from the General as to the sup
posed organ of Mr.. Clay's proposition!
Did General Green look little further into
the conse quences than General Jackson, and an
,icipating that Mr.. Markley would contradict
the calumny, as far as he was concerned, endea'
yor thus to discredit his testimony by deiaming
his character! Did General Green forget that
Mr.. Markley had voted for General JaefsonT-

London papers Of the 18th ult. have been
brought 10 New York, and we have received
Bells Weekly, Messenger Of 10th, from which
we shall extract several articles for our readers.
Bells editorial notice Of the business Of Parlia-
ment forms an instructive summary. On the
9th, in the House Of Commons, Mr.. Canning
said "that he did not doubt but that very short
ly the British troops would be recalled from
Portugal; but that it would be prudent and eco
nomicei 10 prolong their stay until the causes
which had called them there had disappeared"
Sir James Macintosh made speech on the
same subject, part of which is reported as
follows
"To protec, our ally against invasion was our
sole object, for which British troops were sent
10 Portugal. ifthey remained there one mo-
ment after they had performed their office,they
would BE- guilty Of wickedness, ana if they quit
ted Portugal one moment before they had ac-
complished their objects, they would be guilty
Of the crosses, pe:6dy. He thought the steps
adopted went 10 secure the preservation OF
peace. He hailed with great satisfaction the
probability Of speedy and amicabe ADJUST
ment, and he felt bound TO give his MaJes,y's
Ministers that degree Of support which the line
of policy thew adopted entitled them 10. He
(Sir ] Mackintosh) had no objection TO Goa.
liton which was formed on The principles OF
the present. J, was a coalition o. talent. He
agreed with DR. Johnson, on the meaning of
the words "Whig and Tory" the one incn-
ing to popular rights, and the other UNFOLDING
of the Monarchy. He gave his support from a
knowledge that the parties to whom it was Civ.
en- deserved it. He approved Of the Go.srn-
ment, because it was inclined TO meet the views
of the nation on civil and religious topics. He
admired the foreign policy which had been
most glorious during the last three years. he
was eager and joyful to support The Admins
tration, and challenged their opponents to
bring their opposition to a fair and speedy is.

We are indebted q hsSanderson, of the

of Bolivar, issued on his departure from Cara
cas-, for the capital OF Colombia, which strikes
us as pregnant with meaning, and Of which we
offer literal translation. The Liberator now
contracts himself into Tsne=uelian, and con-
templates private life on his natal soil as his
certain and best destiny! His intentions, when
he wrote the present promise, may have been
sincerely philosophical, but he is not master OF
his own fate; his career must depend upon e.
vents beyond his control; and, moreover, he
can never want pretexts for pursuing course
different from that here announced.
