The Annual Report of the Chesapeake and Del

zette OF Wednesday. Though the past winter prov
ed very unpropitous from the heavy and incessant
rams, on soil Astounding in springs, yet the work
is gradually advancing towards successful termi-
nation. The works at Delaware Harbour are in
good order, evincpg their entire stability and use
tulness. No additional wharf work has been order
ed there Tor the present. from opinion of the pro-
prlety Of first completing the line of canal, as an
object OF primary necessity. The wooden sluice on
the northern drain has been replaced by one of
stone masonry. The drain itself has never been en-
tIrely excavated. When finished, it will materially
promote the health and comfort of the neighbour

canal works Is not always as easy as it is important
considerable part of the unfinished guard bank
below the village of st. Georges, showing decided
tendency to sink, was abandoned. BY this crcum-
stance. between one and two hundred acres of wild
marsh land will be overhowed. The soil in this vi
entity is Of singular nmsy and unpropitous tex
ture.
The water has for several weeks been let into the
sections from one to four inclusive, and an active
business exists on the whole eastern division of the
canal, from Delaware City to the Company's wharf
near the Summit Bridge. Sloops, heavily laden,
ply there, and the Lady Clinton packet boat runs
daily on the same route. The eastern division is in

vsable the ensuing autumn. The slips and quick
sands appear at length to be suddued /; and the
stonlng OF the sides WILL it is thought ensure secu-

Chesapeake is to be laid out at Back Creek. The
supply of water is supposed to be sufficient and
the hscal concerns of the Company appear to pre-
sent no obstacle to the completion of the work.

the probable trade of this can that the quantity of
lumber and other produce which has descended the
Susquehanna this season, is said to be unparalleled in
value and extent, Notwithstanding the facility afford

Our readers will peruse with interest the cores
pondence which we this day present to them, between
Mr.. Secretary Clay and Baron DE krudener, by
which it will appear that the claims OF American
citizens, amounting to more than two hundred ana
fifty thousand roubles, originating as far back as
1907 have been finally quidated and paid by the
Russian Government 1t is circumstance of par
tcuIar qualification that this act Of justice springs
directly from the Emperor. who personally examln-
med the claims, and overruled the previous decision
Of his own tribunals against them. That examina-
tim he was induced to make in consequence OF re-
presentations made by Mr. Clay to the Baron De
Maltitz. and by MIR. Middleton to the Russian Min
istry, An arrangement was made between the late
Baron De Tuyll and Mr.. Clay, by which another
claim Of an American citizen, amounting to con-
siderable sum, was admitted and paid by the Russian
government We allude to the case OF the PEARL

GENERAL JACKSON IN l810--1l.

Of the circumstances we now state, we were to a
certain extent acquainted with we had frequently
heard them spoken of at the time they occurred land
with great severity against General Jackson. Not
long since the subject had been suggested to us as
proper to be laid before the public: but we could
not make ourselves acquainted with the facts, in
such clear and positive manner as to satisfy the
people as to the truth of what we might state
accident, however, has now brought the circum-
stances to light in such manner as toJustity the
publication of them. Of General Jacksons arbi-
trary disposition, the people have evidences enough
we should suppose, to satisfy his partisans that
majority must be opposed to his electlon-that ne
is entirely disqualified for the chief Magistrate of a
Republic. In order the better to understand the
character of the letters and documents subjoned,
we give a brief outline of their character.
| The people of this state had suffered many In
conyenences and lost number OF their slaves i'll
consequence of the wilderness state OF the country
at the time alluded to. The people and the e-
pislature had represented to the General Govern
ment the evils under which they were suffering :
their slaves were constantly making their way
through the wilderness to the upper States, and ma
nv under pretence of being servants were passed
Through the Indian nation, and sold IN Tennessee
and Kentucky in short, an illicit trade was thus
conducted by rascas living in the States and Terri
tories of the western country, to the great injury OF
their citizens.
Sometime between 1910 and l, Gen. Jackson,
then n private citizen of Tennessee, had planta-
lion and some negroes near Bayou, Pierre, and I'M
|dertook to move them from thence to Nashville,
without applying for pass port, agreeably to the
instructions issued by the Department of War.
David Holmes, then Governor of the Territory Of
Mississippi, especially urged General jackson not
to proceed without complying with the requls'ons
Delaware journal. [volume] (Wilmington [Del.]) 1827-1832, 1828-06-20
From the National Journal.

The following extract, from the Natchez Ariel
puts the character and conduct of General Jackson,
in carrying his negroes through the Indian Country
yithants oaAaa>e ui congress, IS more eScep-
tionable view than that even his celebrated Dnsmore
letter. Itclearly shows the determination OF Gen
eral Jackson to place his own will paramount to
the law of the land and to treat with the same
contempt the restraints imposed for the public ben
eft, and the inreates of private friendship, when
they oppose themselves to his arbitrary resolves
Bey ond this 1t displays that recklessness OF human
ife--that indifference to the consequences OF his
rash lawlessness, however serious--whch are con-
spicuous in some of the other acts recorded on the
page of bis biography. We will not attempt to give
TO conduct such as is ascribed to General Jackson
in this case, that designation which would be in
stanty given to it. by common CONSENT in any indl
vdual standing in a different situation before the
public. We content ourselves with laying the ex
tract itself before our readers, with recommends
ton to them to ponder we'll on the prospects which
the elevation of such man to the Presidential
seat would open to our common country.
