The Hartford Mercury of Tuesday, say
nothing respecting the rumor ofthe stesm
boat Oliver Ellsworth's having burst he
boiler. II is undoubtedly without founda
ton.
The Susquehannah Democrat, an admins
tration print, in an article relating to th(
course pursued by the Jackson party, con
cludes with the following paragraph
awe wish it particularly understood ,ha
there is no disposition to find fault with thl
original Jackson men. We believe they sr,
actuated by motives far more honorable thar
those which govern their eterenth hour pre-
tended brethren, and know they are not the
instigators Of tho measures that so strongly
tend TO divide and distract the party. w
doubt not but they view the whiting meu
who compose the Faction as we view them
Eventually tho veil with which these Elev
enth hour men are covered will be fully seen
through and drawn aside, and the party will
again become united"
FROM sMYRNA.--The brig VIM. &
Henry, Wsdleigh, II days from Smyrna,
arrived at Boston on Tuesday last. Mr..
Clark, passenger in the w. g. II. commu-

the following:
"The Russian head quarters were all
Adrianople about Sept. / or l2 About
the 5th deputution was sent by the Sui
tan to the Russian head quarters with pro-
posals for peace; but the terms were con-
sidered inadmissable, on the par, of the
Turks-the preliminary articles being the
payment of $50, 100000 Of silver roubles, as
an indemnity for the expenses of the war.
1t was supposed that the Russian army
would enter Constantirople about the 18th,
and without any battle. In fact, the 6nan-
cial system of Turkey is so bad, and the
taxes upon tho people have been so bur-
thensome, that war with any powerful
nation could not be maintsined, nor could n
army now be raised to make any serious re-
sistance in any part ofTurkey. Since tho
passage Of the Balkan, all hope of defend
ing Turkey in Europe seems to have been
abandoned"
1t will be observed fsays the Boston Pa
triot of yesterday that the above furnish
es no later specific intelligence from the
sea, Of war, than that before received.
IMPEACHMENT Of Judge Williams. We
have al:aady twice had occasion Says tho
Boston Palladium to advert to the attempts
now making by the Legislature Of T'ennes.
zee, TO irnpeaoh Judge Williams, Of The
highest Court of that State. On closer
examination ofthe proceedings in thiscase.
we perceive, very clearly, that it is a sheer
piece of political persecution, to drive from
the Bench an opponent Of the present adj
minis.ration. Such is the spirit with which
the object is sought, as we learn from the
aole and temperate memorial Of the Judge.
that the committee was selected exclu-
sively from among his political and perso-
nal enemies. They, moreover, refused to
allow the Judge, either by himself or by
counsel, to be present during the examina-
tion Of witnesses. The names ofthe wit
nesses were denied to him, and likewise
the facts to which they testified. No op.
portunity, therefore, has thus far been al
lowed him TO cross examine witnesses--to
explain away, or rebut their testimony
er to discredi, them. This is worse than
the old Star Chamber proceedings.
Counferfsitsrs opprehcnded.--.We are
informed, says the Petersburg fntellgen.
Ger, that in consequence Of information
received from the city Of Washington.
where one of the gang had been taken
up, and made disclosures,) one or two per.
sons have been apprehended, and commit
ted to jail in this town. on a charge Of
making and Offering counterfeit money.
The combination appears TO be extensive;
spreading over large space, and embrac-
ing numerous individuals in the various
branches Of its operations, females as well
as males. The Police are still on the look
out; and We hope that none Of the Offend
ers will be able to elude their vigilance.
