POLITICAL DISCLOSURES.

Considerable sensation has been produced,
in some places, by the publication of certain
documents, condensed view of which, is all
we now have room for On the lIth ut Judge
Stuart Of Virginia, addressed letter to Thorn
as Jefferson Randolph, grandson and executor
of Thomas Jefferson, saying that he was in
formed there was, in his possession, letter
written by his grandfather, " indicating MIR.
Adamss political course, in the support which
he gave to his administration, and the reasons
which entitled him to so large a share Of his
confidence" and requesting copy of the same
for publication. To this he replied, commune
eating the copy of letter written to VIM. b.
Giles, the Governor of Virginia, dated Deem
Der 25, 1925. 1t was in reply to one from
Giles, requesting statement of the facts re-
lating to an alleged Intervention of the latter,
between Adams and Jefferson, on the subject of
the embargo. He declares that not the slight
est recollection Of any such Intervention re-
mains on his mind. Yet, he says,
"Irecollect the interview with Mr.. Adams,
to which the previous communications
which had passed between him and your
SELF were probably and naturally the pre-
liminary. That interview remember well
not, indeed,i the very words which passed
between us, but in their substance, which
was of character too awful, too deeply en-
graved in my mind, and influencing too
materially the course had to pursue, ever
to be forgotten. Mr.. Adams called on me
pending the embargo, and while endeavors
were making to obtain its repeal. lie made
some apologies for the call, on the ground
of our not being then in the habit of conf
dental communications, but that which he
had then to make, involved too seriously the
interests of our country not to override all
other considerations with him, and make it
his duty to reveal it to myself particularly.
| assured him there was no occasion for an
apology for his visit, that on the contrary
his communications would be thankfully re-
ceved and would add confirmation the
more to my entire confidence in the recti-
tude and patriotism of his conduct and prin-
cpes. He spoke then of the dissatisfaction
of the Eastern portion of our Confederacy
with the restraints of the embargo then ex-
listing, and their restessness under it. That
there was nothing which might not be at
tempted to rid themselves of it. That he
had information of the most unquestonable
certainty that certain citizens ofthe Eastern
States II think he named Massachusetts
particularly were in negotiation with the
agents of the British Government the OBJ
iect of which was an agreement that the
New England States should take no further
part in the war then going on; that, without
formally declaring their separation from the
Union of the States, they should withdraw
from oil aid and obedience to them; that

FOREIGN NEWS.

From our files of English papers, received
yesterday, we have made number of in
teresting extracts:
The war on the frontiers of the Turkish
dominions, is, it will be seen, carried on with
spirit. The Russians have not, however,
obtained any decided advantages, and the
Turks defend themselves with great peril
macy. Gen. Geismar is formdably opposed
in the vicinity of Widen and Kalafas, and
the Turkish sorties are still kept up with
success. The Emperor Nicholas had, at
length, left Odessa, and it really seemed to
be requisite that he should do SO, if his
presence were to have favorable effect
upon the operations of his army. The vigor
with which the Turkish fortresses on the
Danube are defended, must retard the prog
ress of the army before Choumla, and it NAV
be presumed, cause the campaign to close
with the Balkans still in front Of the Rus
sian line. 1t is supposed that the reinforce
ments intended for the divisions beseging
Choumla, will from necessity be retained in
the rear to keep in check the garrisons of
Widen, Kalafas, and the other Turkish
posts. 1t is evident that Geismar and Lam
geron are scarcely strong enough 10 repel
the sorties OF the enemy. On the other
hand, the Turkish government are expedit-
ing reinforcements for Choumla and the
other posts, and the energies of the Sultan
do not slumber for a moment. An article
which we extract below, dated Berlin, 10th
September, expresses the disappointment
felt in the results, thus far, of the Russian
invasion.
The intelligence from Portugal is unim-
poitant. Don Miguel scareer oftyranny is
still uninterrupted.
A. document is published in the London
papers, pnrporting to he proclamation Of
the Emperor Pedro of Brazls in which he
complains that Miguel has been misled by
designing men, in usurping the crown, and
exhorts bin to reflect upon his conduct, and

ISAAC B. DESHA.

Extract of a letter from Thomas Nj. Duke,
Esq formerly of Washington, (Ky) and now
resident in'Texas
SAN FELIPE DE AUSTIN, July "a, 1928.
Isaac b. Desha, who was so long con-
fined in Kentucky, for the murder of Baker,
Is now IN confinement in this place on a
charge of the same kind the circumstances
are these. Last April Desha arrived here
on board the schr. Rights of Man, from
New Orleans, in company with a man hy
the name ofrhomas or John Early, of Brown
county, Ohio, who visited this country for
the purpose of removing his family here.
Desha passed by the name of John Parker ;
they arrived in this town early in May, and
remained only few days here, and left this
for San Antonio When they left here
Desha was without funds, and Early had a
pretty smart sum with him. Desha arrived
in San Antonio without EARLY, and spent
money freely. On his return to this place
had him arrested, and have sent out men to
day to examine for the body of said Early.
The evidence that l have been able to
collect as yet, is very strong against him,
and am very much afraid that he has muir
dered his companion. Yesterday he con-
tesSed to me, that he was Isaac B. Desha ;
but not until he had been indentified by IL
gentleman in this country. was satisfied
in my own mind that he was Desha, from
his family resemblance, and his breathing
through IA silver tube.-Kg. Rep.
So far, says the Frankfort Commentator
the statement given in the letter from Mr..
Duke is authentic. Other accounts, which
want confirmation, state the body of Early
had been found halfconsumed by fire; that
Desha had confessed the murder, and the
murder of Baker, and SAYS that these are
minor offences compared with some COM
mitted by him.

When Monsieur Louis, the French giant,
was exhibiting in the west of England, he
was one day visited by a very little, lively,
active naval officer. This giant, looking
down on the little fellow, asked him what
he could do to defend himself if he should
take it into his head to box with him p
What could do?" said the tar, putting
his dimnutive form into boxing attitude,
"you had better try me-" Monsieur step
ped back and playfully raised his huge
arms, as if to send the little man half way
to the moon, when the latter bobbing down,
pitched his head between the giants legs,
lifted him offthe ground land laughingly ask
ell the ponderous burthen on his shoulders,
whether he should send him out of the win
dow, which he swore he would do if he did
not admit he was vanquished. The admis-
sion was made, and the tar replaced him

ment of the spectators.
The different grades of Joy have perform
ed wonders in medicine. Many striking
instances are recorded Of its salutary effects
when it has operated in laughter. Chill
dren, it is said, have been cured by it of the
ricketts,. Voltaire relates a story Of lady,
who was supposed to be in the last state of
an accute disease. Her mother, who stood
weeping by her bedside, prayed for her life,
and offered to her Maker all her other chill
dren, if the sick one should be spared. a
son-in-law, who had married another Of her
daughters, and who sat by the bedside. very
gravely said, Il hope, madam, you mean Of
one sex only" meaning her female children.
The lady, who was i'll, was so struck with
this speech, that she burst into a fit of
laughter, and from that time recovered.
This gentle and pleasant emotion of the di-
aphragm and its contiguous muscles, pro-
dnced the same effect upon the Cardinal in
Rome, liz a similar situation laughter was
excited in him, while he lay in his he'd, by
seeing favorite monkey put on his pom

To FARMERS AND HoUsEKEEPERs. At
ter an experience of nearly half century,
it has been found that the Pocock, alias
Knickerbocker pickle for beef and pork, is
the best that has ever been used in any
country in preparing winter provisions
hundreds of housekeepers can attest to its
excellence. Some butchers last year pre-
pared their pork according to the Pocock
receipt, and readily sold their pork in mar
ket, at an advance Of one cent per pound,
though in fact the difference in expense in
preparing the Pocock ought not to raise the
price of the pork one quarter of cent on
the pound. If the farmers in this state
would adopt this pickle, and indicate by
brand mark show put up," their produce
would command preference in our mar
kets-and abroad, would give decided and
favorable character to the New York beef
and pork.
Receipt for picking 100 lbs. of Pork,
Hans, Beef, &c. Take 6 gallons of water.
lbs. salt, ] coarse, J fine, 3 lbs brown
sugar, quart of molasses, 3 ounces Of salt
petre, ] ounce potash-boil and skim them
well, and when cold, pour it on your beef,
rub your beef with fine salt. Put the above
ingredients into clean pot or kettle, and
let it boil, being careful TO take off all the
scum as it comes to the surface. When the
scum ceases to rise, take the liquor off and
let it stand until il is cold-then having put
the meat you want topreserve into the ves-
sci you intend to keep it IN, pour the liquor
over it and let it stand.

JAcKsoN's RESPECT FoR THE SABBATH.
Much has been said in the opposi ton pa
pers about Mr.. Adams's disregard OF the
Sabbath in riding IL miles out Of frovi-
dence after meeting on Sunday evening, to
avoid crowd in the city. The annexeL'
extracts show that General Jackson has
gone farther.

SABBATH BREAKING. Gen. Jackson and
suite passed through Uniontown and arriv-
ed at Brownsville (Pa.) on Sunday week. He
was escorted into town by a company Of so
or 60 troops, and by committee consisting
Of Maj. Kepps and Captain Gtesey. His
