opposes this measure and advocates The
doctrine, that our State las right TO a
share Of the proceeds Of these lands, after
paying the debt contracted by the waste
ful extravaganza of Mr.. Van Buren,. For
this, the editor charges him with being
in favor Of squandering the proceeds Of
the public lands, to have pretcxt for an
other high Tariff what man OF logic
Another charge made against him is,
that he voted ''for an appropriation OF near
SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS to furnish more

state Of ruin and dilapidalion. The state

Another grave charge preferred against

crime Of murder, and sentenced to be hung on FIJI
day. the 26th day of February next.
The trial excited an extraordinary degree Of in
terest and although the roads leading to town
almost impossible, vast numbers from the county
were present. all day, in the Court Hall, which
crowded to OVERLOOKING, and thus remained until

THE CAROLINE AFF4IR.

However ambiguous the language of Mr.. Fox
IN his first letter to Mr.. Forsyth, demanding the re-
lease OF Mcleod may have been considered, he has
now " defined his position ia a manner that does
not admit OF TWO constructions. From the cores
Poudence submitted to lie House Of Representa-
yves on Monday 4th instant, it will be seen that
the British Minister juttihes the colonial authoi
les In giving orde.s 10 destroy ;he Caroline within
the territory OF the United States In his first let
ter he merely said that the destruction of the
steamboat Caroline was public act of persons in
her Aelestys service, obeyng tho ordes of their SUI
Peror authorities, without stating whether he con-
sIdered such orders lustihible or not; but in his
'econd letter he feels " bound to record" his opn.
ION, that the conduct OF the marau lecs Vas proper

oline' as piratical' vessel, and amusingly
enough seems TO claim credit for its DESTRUCTION as
friendly act TO the Government of The United
States, innsmuch the said government chad been
deprived, through oveIbearing piratcal violence of
he use OF ITS proper authority that portion Of
territory"
In the meantime Mcleod, probably under instrrc.
'ons from his . superior authorities" has we IN.

SPECIE PAYMENTS.

Tomorrow (the l5th) is the day on which the
Philadelphia Banks are, by law, to resume specie
payments. The reader will also recollect that the
that point, for resumption. If il is done, without
an occasional crash, it will be very gratifying though
a matter of some surprise. The tone Of several Of
the Baltimore and other city papers, indicates that
the measure will be fraught with difficulties, if not
actual danger. meeting has been called of the
merchants and traders of Baltimore to consider the
propiety of resumption by their Banks, which will
doubtless memorialize the Maryland Legislature to
extend the time for resuming. The Philadelphia
papers avow the ability of their Banks to resume
and continue paying specie.

SETTLEMENT or THE EASTERN QUESTION:
From Alexandria we have received letters by The
Oriental. up to the 26th Of November.
On the 2lst, Commodore Nopier's broad pennant
appeared among the sqadfon, aud on the 22d, Cap
tain Maunsel, Of the Rodney, landed with Gag Of
truce and letter from the Commodore to the
Pasha. informing him that the Sultan had been pre-
vailed upon to restore to him the Pashac of Egypt
en- heredne, il he Immediately Withdrew his troops
from Syria, and restored tho fleet. Capt. Maunse
hadthree interviews with the Pasho and returned
to the squadron with the Pashs's answer on the
night oil the twenty-third.
i he result OF Theses negotiations is said to be
convention, by which the Pasha promises to eyacu-
ale Syria, recall Ibrahim, and deliver up the Turk

possession of Egypt.
DISASTER AT ACRE.
A terrible disaster occurred at Aero on the 9th Of
November, three days after the capture Of that
place, by the explosion of another powder maga-
zine within the fortress. The number of killed and
wounded amounted to $50. The sufferers were
chiefly natives, including women and children but
there were also about twenty British seamen and
marines killed, and sever al Officers and men wound
ed. Amongst the latter are Brigader Sir Charles
Smith, commanding the land forces Capt. Collirr,
of the Castor; Lieut.. Johnson, and the Rev. Mr..
kinton, of the Princess Charlotte. No light had
been thrown the immediate cause of this calam

We learn from the last Staunton Spectator, that
the officers of the State Institution for the educa
ton of the deaf and dumb and the blind AZ that
place, have resolved upon visiting Richmond and
some of the larger towns of the State, with num-
her of the pupils under their charge, in order
hibit the progress they ho.o made, since the com
mencement of the Institution, to the Legislature
and the public. 1t is also designed to give concerts
and exhibitions their journey, in order to pur-
chase with the proceeds, musical instruments and
other apparatus necessary to the improvement and
instruction of the pupils well to reduce their
expenses.
The excursion will, doubtless, be highly crafty
ing to those concerned, and it is hoped, will meet
with hearty response and proper sympathy from
the pbilanthropic and humane in those parts of the
State, through Which it is to be made. The lnsti-
tuition has been in operation something more than a
year, aud readers will recollrct visited last
summer by Governor G;lmer, and fayorably noticed

With regard TO the cabinet, am inclined to

his talents the duties Of that position, could
fail TO render him universally acceptable the Lon

plausible objection to his appointment, which arises
from the place of his residence. 1t is conceded
that two ofthe cabinet officers will be chosen from
Western Safes viz: Mr.. Critendcn, from Ken
lucky, and Mr.. Ewng, from Ohio. If another
should be selected from Tennessee, some might BE-
disposed to complain that too much of Western in

be an objection, however, to none but very narrow
minds.
