For instance, the General is made to intimate that honest George Kremer's Letter was suppressed, and that it's suppression had some influence in defeating his election; in- deed. as the statement was understood by MT Sample, it would seem that to this suppress ion and it's influence in defeating his cleo ton was mainly attributed by the General.- Now, in the first place, MT. Kremer,s Letter was not suppressed at all. We declined, it is true, giving it whatever additional sanction it might receive from being first published in the National Intelligencer butit WAS pub ished, the very day after it was offered to us, in another journal in this city. and was univ ersaly read. lit was sometime afterwards published also by us, as belonging to the his- tory of the times In the next place, the publication or suppression of honest George Kremer.s letter could have had no possible in- fluence upon the result of the election in the House of Representatives. for that bears the date of SIXTEEN DAYS AFTER THAT FL FICTION!
 It appears, therefore, that honest George Kremer's letter was not suppressed: and sec- ondly if it were suppressed. it could have had no effect on an election which was over before it was written.

Thus has the attempt of handful of slaves to throw off their yoke led to conflict which can hardly fail to exercise highly important influence on the future af- fairs of Europe, since it calls the iealousies and feelings into such general and fearful col lisiOn.
 Instead of lamenting the blind policy com mencing at Laybach, and persevered in with fatal Pertinacity, in every succeeding year, shall call your attention to those facts which appear to ensure to Russia the easy ac- complishment ofall the objects, covert or a. vowed, proposed to herselfin the war.

The AwOrGs Bore0lisyin Hudson's Ban.
During our; stay in Hudson's Bay, and
upon our voyage home from thence, our
nights were constantly illuminated by the
NEST vivid and brilliant coruscations of the
Aurora BoreGIis. It, appearance was very
different from that which have seen in
more southern ATTITUDES, resembling con-
tinual jets OF meteoric FIRE from the northen
part of the horizon, which, after darling up
wards in long streaMers towards the zenith,
suddenly collapsed, and receded, falling
back in zig-zags serpentine lines, with d.
mihished splendour; and ultimately dying
away, and vanished from the sight, being
succeeded by other jets, as beautiful as the
first. The Greek Indians inhabiting Hud-
son'sBay, and indeed the European traders
maintain that, in the serene stiffness oftheir
severe winters, soft rushing noise con-
stantly accompanies these coruscation, like
that which is occasioned by the quiet wa,
wing of a fan, or ola soiDnow. The same
remarkable circumstance is mentoined by
He0rne, who bears positive testimony to the
fact. :" / can positively AFFIRM" says he,"
That in still nights have frequently heard
the northern lights make rustling and
cracking noise, like the waving Of a large
flag in a fresh gale of wind. This is not
peculiar to the place of which a,n now
writing (the Athapesco Lake, as I have
heard the same noise very plain at Chur-
chill River: and, in probability it is only
for want Of attention that it has not been
heard in.evory part Of tho northen Hemis-
phere, when theso lights have been known
to shine with. any considerable degree of
lnstre." " Fr0nkl;n's .Foar.
