tO office, who must necessarily return home disappointed, because unrewarded, and dis satisfied OfcOurse. The situation of the Pres ident elect himself is far from being enviable. Tn fact, until things settle down into quiet and regular train, his elevated station can be to him but splendid misery. exposed as he must be, to fruitIess solicitations in every va rietv OfforM, which it is painful to rejcct, ,and impossible to grant.-Nnt.

 The Alexandria Gazette says it 'speaks knowingly" when it states that Gen. Jackson is decidedly opposed to Mir. CalhOun's plans of future elevation. ''Gen. JacksOn's ap- pointments to office, and all his measures which can have bearing upon the case, will be made with view to bring MT. Tan Burem before the people in preference to MT. Calhoun" !"
 The duel between Crockett and Lee, two Congressional bull dogs, has happily evapOra- ted in a long w;nded communication from MT. Pryor Lea, of three columns. Ifany one has sufficient time to throw away upon such folly, we would thank him to read it and tell us what it is about, The last line of Mr.Pry- or, trusts that he has made out his justiica- ton ito the entire satisfaction of impartiali- ty." It is some comfort to find that members of Congress are getting more addicted to u- sing pens than pistols in their duellos. It is better to throw dirt than lead.-R. I. Am.
 NORFOLK, Feb. Central nAmerica.-We learn from Mr.Lam- son. who arrived here on Tuesday last, in the sloop Congress, that the civil war which for these six years past has been raging in this republic, continued. In the province of Nic- aragua, a counter revolution had broken out. Gen. Serda, and most of the officers com manding, had been arrested and shot in Nic- aragua city. The Grenadians had taken ad- vantage of this state of affairs, and marched against the city,whlch had quietly surrender ed. On the other hand, Leon had revolted from the league with Grenada and Nicara- qua. The most oppressive system had been adopted towards foreigners. whether residents or not; compelling them tO pay the most c. nOrmous contributions. even by force ofarms. The whole country was in the most wretch ed condition imaginable, and no prospect whatever remained of a speedy adjustment of the difficulties. None appeared to know the cause of the present revolutionary state ofthe country, except disposition to subvert all order, and encourage system of robbery and plumber. In fine, the country was re- garded as on the eve of still more sanguin- ary and terrible revolution. The commerce of the country was annihilated, Indigo plan tations destroyed, and one continued scene of plunder and distress presented itself to the observer.
 The war between San Salvador and Gua- tamaa continued. A courier arrived at Me naqua, bringing dates to Jan. lst from Guata- mala, stating that important advantages had been gained over the San SalvadOreans, and that they had been compelled to retreat.
 France aud Hayti.-The inability of Hayti 1 to fulfil her pecuniary engagements to France, as it becomes more manifest, leads different members of the French ministry to adopt diff ferent sentiments concerning the proper 1 course to pursue. While some appear bent on requiring her to perform her stipuations to the very last sous. others insist tha; policy and the necessities of the case point out more lenient course. It could not he an un- expected state of things, for the agents of France must undoubtedly have made proper representations to their governments con- cerning the state and prospects of the Hayti- an treasury, foT the last three or four years; :; and the ministry. as Paris paper remarks, cannot have been ignorant, that to demand of Hayti four or five millions year, till the pc ''ON tuO ot'N thO acoh oiVupu both be liquidated, would be like expecting more than eight hundred millions year of France for twenty years. The more mod crate party therefore are in favor of accept ing the terms of compromise offered by Hay Ii, as the utmost that appears to be in her power-the payment of 100 millions. l We observe that the principal ground on which this proposition is urged, is the danger that Hayti might be driven to desperation by the rejection of her proposals, and even by the very irksome state of uncertainty, in which she has been for some time past. Ap- prehensiOns are expressed, lest she should be ] driven to throw herselfinto the arms of Fog land or the United States, (of the latter there is broadly no danger to free herself from the hopeless bankruptcy which must inevitably betide her. if held to her engagements. In such case the French cannot hut foresee that they have still much to lose--not only the sum now offered her, but the prospect of 1 the commerce of that fine Island, which would then be transferred to another power.-N Y.

 Algiers.-A report was recently current in France. that powerful attempt against AL giers was mediated by the government, and that preparations were making for the des- patch of squadron in the spring. It was stated, (although ofcOurse in no official man. ner,) that the ministry had in consideration a nlor oF nd, ovuadsf:nn fo .fforot,H
