Ap-il that the Courts Of Austria and Prussia had re-
solved to accede to the Treaty Of the 9th Of July,
and to press upon the Porte the acceptance OF the
conditions proposed in it. The Courier says, eve

her present system would certainly expose her. !"

Strong Sign. At meeting OF tho friends
Of the Administration of the General Govern
ment held at NASHVILLE, Tennessee on the
goth April, WILKINS TANNEHILL, Esq. was
appointed Chairman and JOHN p. EawIN,
Post Master of that city, Secretary. The
following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That it is the privilege OF. free
men, in a Government like ours, to assemble
themselves together, for the purpose Of freely
expressing their opinions, in relation TO the
concerns ofthe great national family, oil which
they are members, and that it is also right and
proper, pending any great political contest
for those who concur in opinion, to mIngle
their reflect ions and unite their efforts, for the
promotion Of the cause they approve.
Resoiced, That we view the leading meas-
ures Of the present Administration OF the Gen
c-al Government, as dictated by sound wisdom
and pure patriotism, and calculated, in an en-
inent degree, to advance the interests OF our
common country.
Resolved, Thsk We view the nspcrsions
character of JoHN Quincy ADAMS and
Henry CLAY, the prominent members Of
the present Administration, as grounJess and
uniourdcd the result Cf disappointed hopes,
and mortified ambition.
Resolved, That, in order 10 afford TO that
portion of our fellow citizens who concur with
ns in supporting JoHN Quincy ADAMS for
the office Of President oC the United states, and
RICHARD RUsu for Vice President, ali oppor-
tuniiy of mariiesiing their preference at the
ensuing election, il is proper and cXpedlent,
that some suitable person should be nomina =
ted as Ecctor, for the District composed Of
the Counties OF williamson, Rutherford and
Davidson.
Resoiccd, That it be recommended to the
friends of Mr.. ADAMS, in said District, to
appoint delegates from each Of said Counties,
TO assemble at Nashville, on the 26lh day Of
May next, for the purpose of nominating such
Elccto,, and for other purposes.
ResOiped, That the Chairman appoint six
persons as delegates, on the part Of this meet
ing, to meet such as may be appointed by the
Counties of Williamson and Rutherford.
The above meeting was numerously aiten-
ded by the most respectable citizens of Nash
Vile. Delegates to the Convention, cores
ponding committees, &c. SC, were appointed.
1t will be recollectcd that Nashville is the
residence of GENERAL JACKSON, the head
quarters of the White Washing Committee and
the place from which the most vic denuncia-
tions have been sent forth against Mr.. Adams
and his Cabinet. This is a sign indeed.

IMPRovEMENTs.-Wit the last year,
ton Manuflctory, operated by n fifty horse
power, steam Engine, and when completed,
will contain five thousand spndles beside looms
Sc.-two machine shops two furnaces and a
number Of dwelling houses. The Cotton Fac
tory, when completed, will probably be the
largest building in New England, and will af-
ford employment to two or three hundred jnd-
viduals. 1t was put in operation about six or
eight days ago, and ere the approach of Au-
tumn, will be in the full tido Of successful ex-
pertinent. The propretors are SAMUEL
SLATER, Esq. the father of American Manu-
factures s-Mcssrs BENJAMIN AND CHARLES
DYER, DAVID WILKINSON, OLNEY DYER,
& Son, and GEORGE ToMpKINs: The en-
ginc is fed entirely with coal, and though the
expense of this mode Of operating spindes
is not small item, the proprictors ofthc fac
tory, are Of opinion, that the disparity Of eN.
pense between water and steam power will be
more han balanced in favor Of steam by the
amount saved in the expense of transporta ton.
As this is tho only manufactory in New Eng
land, Of any magnitude, that is operated by
steam, the manufa cturer entertains some CO.
licitude for the result Of the experiment. We
| cannot but believe, and hope that it will be
found entirely productive, and that its worthy
propristors will be amply re narded for the risk
they have assumed, in commencing so laud-
able an enterprise. The establishment is
under the management Of John H. Clarke,

shall insert with great pleasure, though we are
inclined to doubt the originality Of the produc-
ton. 1t will Of course be inserted as original,
but should it prove otherwise, our Young

pect another favor at our hands. We are led
to these observations, from the circumst ance,
that one Of our town cotemporaries, has within

thoroughly cultivated.

Boston Gazette and Mr.. Webster. The
editor Of the Boston Gazette has attacked
Mr. Webster with much severity for his vote
of disregarding the interest Of his constituents
and Of the grosscst inconsistency. The last
charge comes with an i'll grace from the editor,
who was a few months ago, a s,rong champ
ion Of the Am crican System, and real stark
mad writer IN favor Of protecting the manufac-
turing interest. Mr.. Webster voted not only
for the interest Of his constituents. but for the
interest ofthe country at large, and deserves
tho thanks Of tho people, for his excr,ions and
vote.

ADDENDA.-In noticing the occurrence of
an unpleasant affair few d,v~ since, wo had
no other object in view, than that Of honestly
endcavoring to allay a fcverish excitement,
which for tho moment existed, and which we
are happy to say, has been mcasurably sup
pressed. But those, who are fond Of gossip,
and ure always ready to misrepresent one S
language, and TO place a malignant construc-
ton on words uttered, and such as they will
not bear, have taken some pains TO impose n
belief, that in writing the article to which we
now alludc, we w5le urged by malignant
disposition, and by propensity to exult over
the misfortuncs Of others. Indeed, il has been
said, that we strove to wound the feelings of a
lady and those Of her offspring, who lad Just
experienced a dreadful transition, and been
reduced from aflluence to its opposite extreme
by the occurrence Of misfortunes. neither an
ticipated or forscen.
Conscious Of the rec,iude Of our course, and
satisfied Of the purity Of our intentions, we care
but little, about the free circulation Of the i'm.
putatons which have been cast at us, since al
who know us, know that we are incapable o
laughing at the sorrows Of others. We have nc
apology to offer for any thing we said-ws
stated facts and facts only, and were induced
to do SO, from an honest opinion that the,
might tend TO diminish popular excitement
and further than this, we were induced to say
what we did say, by the respect VIC have al
ways entertained for the unfortunate individua
and his family, who was the subject of our re
| marks.
