FroM the st. Louis Times, Of July 2

SENATOR BENTON AND PRESIDENT
JACKSON. 1t will be seen by the account
of the proceedings of the Senate, that
Col. Benton has, at last, peremptorily
disavewed the expressions, that have so
often been attributed to him, said to have
been uttered before the election Of Gen.
Jackson and when Col. Benton was the
adherent and supporter of Henry Clay,
in which he gave the probable character
of the present administration. The ex-
pressions imputed to the Colonel, as our
readers know, were, in substance, that if
General jackson should be made Presi-
dent, members of Congress would have
to legislate with pistols in their belts.-
These expressions with the imputed
authors name, have gone the rounds of
three fourths Of the newspapers in the
United States, but not until after they
had been heard and believed by half the
people Of the Senator's own State. A
few weeks since, Col. Lawless, friend
Of Mr.. Benton, appeared in newspaper
in this city, with an elaborate argument, +,
intended to prove by circumstances that
the charge of authorship was not JUST
the gentleman's argument was ingen-
ious, and did credit to his dialectic
powers, but unfortunately for its effect it
was only an argument on presumPtions
opposed to direct statements of fact
We did not think it necessary to take
notice Of Mr.. Lawsess's volunteer de-
fence Of the Senator; we waited for the
explicit denial of the principal.
Col. Benton has made that denial; AND
WE NOW OFFER TO PROVE, if the opportu-
nifty shall be afforded TO coerce the pro-
duction of testimony, that Thomns II
Benton, then and now Senator of Ms
souri,, did, some time IN The year / 823 and
1924, al different places and in he pres
ence Of many persons in the Stale Of Ms
souri,, say, IN substance, that IF General
Jackson should be elected President of The
United States that members Of Congress
,eould hare 10 legislate armed. We know
the names and the persons Of the witness
es, by whom the charge can, and in the
mode referred to, viii be ss,stained-
Our offer is, Of necessity, at this time
confined to the production of evidence in
the mode pointed out. The general re-
luctauce of private citizens to appear in
the public prints as witnesses is the only
cause that makes us thus guarded, but
it may, and we hope will be in our pow
er 10 dispense with the condition that we
are nov obliged to make. Our intention
is to fulfil our pledges at all times, and
therefore we give them warily.

The Teto Celebration. "A royal salute
Of 100 guns was fired last Saturday, by
the Jacksonites of Portsmouth,--and in
the evening Jefferson Hall was brilliant
ly iliuminated,-- some tar barrels
were stolen from the South Rope Walk,
and patrioticaHy burnt on the parade,--
all in honor of the Veto. The tar-barrel'
fire lasted till near / | o'clock at night
and the gentlemen who capered round it
"rnade the welkin ring'' with their shouts.
A correspondent says:--
CATER the first salvo was shot off, ono
of the persons who acted as artillery
men on the occasion, came into shop
near Merchants Row, and called for q
glass Of cider, saying how greatly ia
ltigued he was by reason of his patriotic
exertions. The shop keeper asked the
reason for such obstre porous rejoicing
"Oh!" said the Patriot, cit is because
Gen. Jackson has signed the BiH."--.
"Sisned the Bill! said he of the coun-
ter, "what Bill?" "Oh! don't Know
,chat Bill, but it is biIi;-and What is
more, Mr.. VETo HAS COME TO royvN; he
came in the stage this morning yoa kxor

turns Of the same counties in 1919. In

The New-York Election for Govern
or, Lieut.. Governor, Members of the
Assembly, Representatives to Congress,
and Electors Of President and Vice Pre-
sident, takes place on the 5th, 9th, and
7th Of November next. Active meas
ures of preparation are being commenced
by both political parties. We can have
but little if any doubt, but the opponents
of Jackson will carry their candidates by
handsome majorities. Indeed, many of
the Jackson men, who possess modera-
ton and candor are willing to admit that
the Hero's success in that State, to say
the least, is eriremely doubtful. Gran
gers prospects for Governor, are con-
sidcred very fair. He is man posses-
sing talents Of a high order, and very
popular among all the western people Of
the State.-[ Prorid. Journal.

General Election IN Rhode Island
An election is to be held in Rhode Is
land on Tuesday next, the 28th inst. for
the semi-annual choice Of Representa-
tives to the General Assembly; and for
the choice Of Governor, Lieut.. Govern.
or and Senators, three unsuccessful cleo
tons having been held for that purpose.
The importance Of the occasion we hope
will bring out the whole strength of the
National Republican party, and secure
the complete organization Of the govern
ment. The choice of Representatives
is particularly important, as on them will
devolve the choice Of Presidential EIec-
tors, in case there. shall be no choice BY
the people; as there is reason to appre :
hend there may not be from the division
Of tho people Of the State into three
political parties.

TuRKEv AHp Pr.-The accounts nom Saastatihople, which are to the l0lh September, inclusive, continue fo be uifayorabIe 10 the Porte. The last rcnpaIit of the Turkish army was de. leated at Bylau on the 26tb of August, and lbrahim occupied .sdana. In fact inc Sdltan's army is said 10 be entirely dissolved. It is believed therefore that the Sultan will be obliged to negotiate with Muhannned Ali, and it is even said that he has already shown himself prepared to do so. Whether it will be by direct negotiations betweenthe con- tending parties, or through the media ton of friendly power, is not known; the latter seems most probable.
 Letters from Alexa dria, dated the 10th August, state that naval action took place near Cyprus.and Rhodes, in the middle of August, between the Turks and the Egyptians, in which the Turks were defeated, with the loss oi one ship ofthe line, a frigate, two and three brigs.

ready to remove the buoys, and Gener- al Chase, sullingly sitting hy his his guns. The combined. fleet is destined for that river, and its first appearance there will be the signaIfor general war. It will be no tri1ing affair, as some of the gentle men of the Stock Exchange imagine. To blockade Holland is farce; this would only irjure the bloekading pow CTS, cost England the loss of some ol her best ships, interrupt tIe trade, and seriously affect the nanulactories of the country. No naval armament can drive Chase from the ciiidal of Antwerp; and the moment q French military force enters Belgium, the frussians, to the number oi 100000 men will do the same.
 But while these embarrassing move mehts are taking place from without, Belgium is distracted by intestine d. visions. The following whichsis repiete with interest, will speak for itself.-
 BRUSSELS, Oct. i6.-Yesterday the triumph of the Jesuit party was conso- lidated by the installation of NJ. Ger. laclle, as President of the Court of Gas sation. There was meeting of the bar in the morning, and it was resolved that they should not be present at the ceremony. 1t was agreed also that no advocate or ouoWe should plead orhave any transaction with the Court. in fine, that he should be sent to Conven- try. What situation for q country to be placed in-what dreadful respon- sibility now weighs on M. Raiken and his Catholic friends. Ii was found ne cessary 10 place three companies of in. iantry round the Palais de Justice dur ing the installation. The minister is openly accused of falsehood, and he has not the courage to resent it. As lie passes tie streets the finger. of scorn is pointed at him by old and young. He ilad tffle ilardihooi 10 venture avindi- cation in the Moniteur Beige few days since, but the dnpIicity and cunning evinced in the article enlY tended to lower him, if possible, in the eyes of the world.

reducing it at any time thereafter is at least questionable. He was pleased to hear the Chairman ofthe committee unequivocally dissent from this opinion. For himself, he was directly opposed both to the positive opinion, and the opinion not positive, but he did not rise 10 discuss the matter. His object was,to leave the way open fora future discus slon, unprejudiced by what should be done with this report.
 Upon this statement, then, he sub mitted to the committee. whether the publication of their report, with the letter ofthe Secretary, which although not adopted in terms by the language ofthe report, is yet yet referred to as q doc ument proper to be considered, and against the doctrines of which no ex, ception Is talen-he submitted to the Senate, whether the putting forth such a paper would not be likely to create the beliefthat the Secretary's argument and reasons were the foundation upon which the conclusion of. the committed rested. And whether, If the Senate were to vote its concurrence, it would not be received asan aequiescence with the opinions ofthe Secretary.
 As the actual state of opinion in the Senate was probably of q character quite opposed to such aequiescence, and as such an effect on public sent- ment was not designed or desired, he would propose what seemed to be the efectual means of preventing it. He therefore moved to lay the report with. the memorial on the table.
 The report was laid on the table ac- cordingly.
