see the end of the present affair have had several
calls from officials and private citizens Of Tangier,
(Moors,) all Of whom assure me that no difficulty
will be thrown in the way of my arrival and recep-

upon this head, as have oil along informed you,
but am anxious to bring it to close. have not
seen the first person yet Moor or Christian who does
not condemn in the loudest terms, the authorities
Of Tangier for their previous conduct towards me;
who has attached the slightest fault for the
committal of this wrong to my account. You do
not know how sad feel in this place, although the
guest of kind friends, who doing all they to
make us comfortable; still, the fact that have been
here two months without having visited my consul
late, and laboring under the excitement natural
upon my situation, brings feelings Of melancholy
and regret that disturb my rest But, as the Moors

disappointment and ills are of course all for the

This city was the scene Of a melancholy occur
renee last Friday evening. Mr.. Levi G. Frost, who
kept an eating cellar under the Franklin House. at
the junction Of Market square and College street,
shot himself with pistol. A young man, by the
name Of Aaron s. French, was at the time in the
cellar, and, short time before the report, saw the
pistol in the hands of the deceased who said, AZ he
looked into it, that it was loaded, and he could eco
the ball. Frost was man of steady habits, and
was cheerful when French went in To see him. On
his testimony, and that Of DR.. Rivers, who was
called to examine the wound, and Nathan Porter,
who from his store above, and saw the decsased
before he entirely dead, the coroner's inquese
found this verdict: "that the said Levi @. FfosE
came to his death by his own hands, against The
peace and dignity Of the State" s9se

LETTER FROM THE ARMY.
CAMP AT CoRPus CHRIsTI, TEXAS,
Santenoher o. 1SdE

CAMP AT CoRPus CHRIsTI, Texas,
September %, 1845.
We arrived here on the 9th ult, after very
pleasant march over certainly some of the fines
country in the world. Water, in some places, part
tculary west of the Colorado we found scarce; vet
did we have sufficient to answer all our purposes.
II is true; ice would have been vast improvement,
for it not unfrequently that used out of the
holes or lakes in the PRAIRIE where not even sin
gle shrub marked its margin, but fish seemed to be
the sole occupants, save and except an occasional
alligator, whose roar at night would make many
recruit sentinel wish he was at home again. We
frequently from these holes caught fine trout, which,
together with deer and turkey, furnished us ample
amusement and food. 1t was not unusual to see one
hundred deer in herd.
The mustang, or wild horses, we saw vast num-
bers of, and one of which was killed in my presence,
simply for its name and tail, from which the cavisa
or lasso is made. II seemed pity SO noble an an
mal should be killed; and yet they SO abundant
here, that you purchase them at five dollars; but
are rarely of much account when caught from the
prairie herds.
On our route we lost some eight orten men by the
effects of the sun, killed accidentally by shooting
himself, and one drowned. Our march was con-
Quoted by our gallant colonel in style which will
always reflect greatly TO his credit, having in addi-
ton to the seven companies of Dragons, a baggage
train of some seventy wagons--al of which had to
be crossed over the streams, and all under his own
observation, Tor no person would he permit to al
tend il. The distance marched, as measured by
ourselves, is $40 miles, accomplished in 80 days,
and each days march finished by 10 o'clock a. m
II is true, we started proportionaby earygeneraly

LET us UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER

We have seen well-written article in the Har-
risburg democratic Union," accompanied by
another able one from the ''Trenton Emporium, y
touching Pennsylvania and Mr., Buchanan. They
are opposed to his leaving the cabinet in order to
60 upon the bench. We are strongly tempted to
comment at some length upon parts Of the article
from the democratic Unions" but perhaps it is
best to confne ourselves to very short compass of
observation.
We are confident that the democratic Unionn
does not duly appreciate the article to which it
fers in ga leading paper in southern State"
We have no more doubt than we have Of our own
existence, that il from the pen of one who has
the most friendly feelings for Mr.. Buchanan, and
who wished to give him an opportunity of consult
ing his own wishes, if he should desire to 90 upon
the bench.
In connexion with this subject, we beg leave
to assure the democratic Union," as far as
we are advised, and as far as we dare to
speak for old Virginia now, that we certainly
know of no Virginian who desires to "occupy
Mr.. Buchanan's placer that we certainly desire
no change; and that its editor does not render
that justice to Virginia, which we know he has,
as friend to her character, rendered in all past
times, when he suspects her using Pennsylvania
'as warmingpan to heat the bed of State even for
the Old Dominion" We ask him, in the most re-
pectful and courteous terms can employ, wheth-
er this innuendo upon Virginia is worthy Of her or
worthy Of himself In the respectful spirit, we
protest against the declaration, that either 'Virgi
MIA or New York would have covered under the ter
rife influence" Of the Bank of the United States.
Claim all the merit you please for the Keystone
State. We give it to her freely. She deserves all
the honor which can possibly be claimed for her;
but why place the glorious wreath around her
honored brow, at the expense of any her dem
ocratic sisters2

But the objection to the present tariff, high as il

urged against the act Of 1923, that il was strictly,

tariff of 1928, Of very different character but,
however great and different il was probably not
less than that which attaches to the one of 1912
The tariff Of 1928, under the peculiar condition of

such is the infatuation of the monopolists--such
their unjust spirit of extortionthat tariff law un-
necessary, improper, and wrong, a measure of
financial necessity, is patronized and pressed upon
an unwilling and protesting portion of the republic

very frequently hereafter, we forbear at present to
add anything to these general reflections. The
reader will find himself amply rewarded in an APP

Extract Of letter from american citizen, dated
MARsEILLEs, (FRANcE,) Sept. 25, l845.

In foreign government you cannot imagine how
high my pulse beats to (and hear too) the ener-
| gy of the government on the Mexican question.
The President is gaining golden opinions here, by
his prompt and decisive action in ordering an eff
cient squadron to the Mexican gulf, and troops to
the frontiers of Texas.
| The French people wonder ut this but tell them
the President has the nerve, and the nation with
him. and that himself and ministers will be triumph
| antly sustained both in and out of Congress. The
"signs of the times" rely upon it, as well as their
tone and temper, evinced by some jealousy of the
French minister, show an increasing respect for us
as great, powerful, and growing nation. con-
graduate you on your position You have diff
cult part to play, but feel that you will sustain
the interests Of your country in every emergency.

pie, and her public officers ofmy own faith and my

BUENoS AYRES.

We have been favored with the perusal of pri-
vate letter. received in this city, from Buenos Ayres
under date of August 18th, which gives different
account of the state of affairs in the river La Plata
from that which we published on Saturday.
The letter says that French man-of-war arrived
that morning from Montevideo; the officers ofwhich
reported "that arrangements had been made with
Oribe, the besieging general, and that there would
be peace instead of war in the rgerr The letter
adds that in the event Of peace, there would be an
important change in the currency.

at Salem in day or two will either confirm or con.

Our latest advices from Buenos Ayres are to the
