.aaothsr d.sertion from Jacksonisn', The
Monroe Republican, published at BrockPort'
New.York, which has been hitherto decided
.unporter Of Gen. Jackson, has declared an inten-
ton Of supporting him no longer. The editor
savs sit has cost doubtful struggle with our
selves, TO come to the conclusion, which we here
announce, Of devoting our best energies to defeat
The election Of General Jackson second time
The danger Of delay in effecting insurance
upon property, is strikinsly exempllfed in the
following act Of negligence related in the George
town Gazette.
GEonesrowN, d. c. August g.
Fire-On Sunday night. just at IL o'clock,
our citizens were aroused BY that ever appalling
cry-FIRE! One Of the watchman IN ms ROUNDS
discovered the garrett Of the Union Hotel 70 De
on FIRE, and before assistance arrived the names
burst through the roof. The building was very
extensive, four stories high. aud lattery occupied
nv Mr.. Roach, and was for many years the iarg-
A., Hotel in the District. Before the fire cOoid
be subdued, nearly the whole Of the interior was
DESTROYED. No insurance on the house; the fur
niture was insured in Baltimore, TO the amount
of Sc, 900, but the greater part OF 1t was saved,
more or less injured BY removal, as will always
be the case.
The cause Of the fire has not been ascertained;
no one slept in any OF the garrett rooms, the SER
wants being provided with lodgings IN other parts
of the house.
We have another melancholy instance Of the
dangers Of delay in attending to that important
MISUNDERSTANDING. The propretors OF the UNI.
ON Hotel, which had for many years been insured
in Baltimore, applied in February last to the
Company in town for an insurance oil $4,000 on
the buildings; the terms were agreed upon;
and nothing was wanting but the payment OF the
premium. This was neglected, aud the conse-
quence is that the heavy loss dcyolves upon them
selves. Owners Of property, unless they are dc.
,ermined to be their own underwriters, should
not leave it uninsured one hour, or EVEN ONE
MOMENT. If once Insured, after the policy ex-
pmes. Let others take example by this warning.
In the British House of Lords, on the 18th uit
debate concerning Greece took place, in which
,hrfolosing historical remarks were made.
"The Earl of .4berdeen said-His Majesty s
late government had expressed decided opinion
sganst Prince Ohio Of Bavaria, who was then
onlv IA years of aye. They thought that the ap-
pointment of minor would naturally create that
interference which they regretted had ever taken
place, and which they were DESTROYS Ut terminal
,ng as speedily as possible. They thought that
his being Catholic would also be injurious, on.
BY One-tifth or one-sixth Of the population OF
Greece being Catholic, aud the spirit Of hostility
entertained by other Greeks against these unfor-
tunate Catholics being greater than the hostility
against Turks. or even against Jews. 1t was
felt that q sincere Catholic could not. without
endangering his salvation change his religion -
lie thought that the appointment Of Prince Ohio
would make necessary an Increased interference,
and perpetuate a system which could not be too
much deprecated upon this as upon every other
occasion
Earl Grey said he had not had time to look
at the whole of the correspondence on the ques-
ton alluded to by the noble lords opposite
Whenever the question of occupancy Of those
towns in the Mediterranean by France was be-
fore the house. it would then be time to enter
fully into the subject Of that occupation. With
the occupation by France of Algiers, he or the
present ministry had nothing to do; they were
no parties to il, nor consulted. As to any agree
ment or treaty with this country, on the part OF
France, that she should surrender up the posses
sion of Algers, he proessed he should be glad to
hear from the noble duke where such a stipula-
ton was to be found. He did certainly recollect
case somewhat IN point. however, as to the re-
lance this country ought TO have on the good
faith of France. 1t was the case Of the occupa-
ton of Belgium by powerful French army at
the time she was menaced by the King Of Hol-
land. and IL was then said by noble lords oppO-
site, let France once get an army into Belgium,
and then see how you will get her out again.
Hear, hear.) Yet, into Belgium the French
my did enter, at the solicitation of the King of
that country, aud when theObject for which that
force had entered it had been accomplished, the
French army with perfect good faith immedi.
ately withdrawn. Somuch for the value OF the po
liticai prophecies Of that periud. loud cheers
He had no more reason to distrust the good faith
Of the French with respect to the places now in
their occupation in the Mediterranean, or with
respect to the due performance of her engage
meRts.
"Thc Duke Of Wellington said there certain
~ were engagements which France had made
with respect to Algiers. which had not been ac-
NOmplished. Shortly after the announcement of
her capture of Aigiers, came the Intelligence OF
'he revolution of July. He did not say it would
