^appropriating this week ft large Spate to

This o??y wiUfftliaiy evory one that it is
* subject (/nut iutpoitance to the union?
and Cow will doubt that U U ouo of peculi
ar interest to the*slave-holding state*.
Tills territory ought to have been acquir
ed by Mr. Adams in the Florida treaty of
1819. It wm known then, u it in known
now, that Mr. Adams, then Mr. Moo toe's
Secretary of State, suffered himself to be
?*ovefc*cvMhed" by the Chevalier Do*
O*t?,wfco manage* the negotiation for the
txmtoa.ilt tho Florida and the settlement
oi the western botiysry, on the part of
Spain. We hafehgw for a twelvo-mouth
before us a copy of tho negociation upon
theso subjoin, transmitted to Congress by
Mr. Mpiuoe In December 1810; and we had
frequently thought of bringing tho subject
before ^r readers, with a view of illustrat
ing several facts connected with tho trans
action. Wo are glad that it has Men done
by a head and hand so much abler than
our own, and wo are uko glad to bclLve
that li will receivo proper attention from
the high authorities of tho government.
Wo bavo said that Mr. Jdum* tuffered
himtlf to be overreached: tho proof is con
tained in the document* themselves. He
was either cheated for wan? of common sa
gacity, or ho voluntarily and designedly
yielded up tho interests of the union for
purposes w'hich can easily bo imagined.
Wo incline to tho lattor opinion and wo ex
press it now;, not from any disposition to
pursuo the Ex-President in tho spirit of
(rvrsocution to tho haunt* of his profound
retirement, nor from any desire to borrow
up tho frightful spectres of the Missouri
Question; but because wo believe what we
say to bo a substantial fact, spread upon
Iho public records of tho country by tho
hand of Mr. Adams himself, and a fact
?trikingly illustrative of tentorial hostility
which was ever carried into tho councils of
4ho nation by Ruvuk Kino and John
i^ciscY Adams. Wo bcliovc that the
unlmllowod spirit lives to this day?that it
has oxpanded beyond tho Ohio and west of
tho Allfghcnics?that its standard-hearer
(Iuxry Clay. Wc havo not tho sha
dow of a doubt, that it is ho?tlltttj to tlave

Such a basin of representation in tho Hen

There is no branch ofscience, it appears
to us, more capable of great improvements
than that of the Law. Under the present
forms of its administration it is utterly un
intelligible to the great body of the people;
and tho voluminous enuctnients of the
Legislature confine a knowledge of them
to the profession only, whiUt they manifest
the dissatisfaction which is frit towards the
Common Law. A Journal devoted to
discussions of these and kindred topics,
promises to do much towards enlightening
tho people and tho Bar as to what /? the
Law, and may bo rendered extremely use
ful iu preparing the minds of Legislators,
thro' able and temperate discussions in the
recess of the legislature, as to what
t j be the LaW. Our legislative session is
too short to answer, in many cases, the
purposo of profound investigation and full
knowledge, upon poiuu of novelty to a
largo majority, but of paramount Impor
tance to tho public. A medium of previous
deliberate communication cannot fail to
remedy in a great degree this serious in
convenience.
We need not speak of the professional
standing of the editors: They aro known

Thus It is that the minister* of itauoio*
take pains to hold op to public view, a vll
linn and a murderer, as a saint qualified for
eternal happiness and glory, after an hours
clerical Instruction at the close of a long
life of Infamy and crime. Tbleman JWear
Ingen was the deliberate, inhuman mur
derer of his own wile, with circumstance*
of great cruelty. The?e pursons hold up
to the public, u momentary death-bed re
pentance, as sufficients wipe atopy all pre

man murder. Sin away then: commit crimes
with impunity, ye fortunate followers of the
white washing Clergy! The greater the
shmer, the greater the saint! An hour's

ble life, Is enough with the aid of two or
three parsons, to *?imI you full of hope and
comfort, and joy to Heaven!
Are these clergymen Rood Citizens? Ik j
this the doctrine that is to deter from crime,
and make moral, honest and worthy mem
hern of society?
Are not these comforters, and applauders
of Swciiringed, as had as Swcaringco liirtrt
selP Arc these the purposes for which,
thin class of men are to be supported. Is it
not high time tor $bc people to rotislder, and
reflect, whether this counterac ti?n to tudutx

hired and paid Priest- hood thus acting, be
not a public and deplorable evil? An evil,
that deserves, not merely discountenance,
but that ought to be put down, as we would
put down crime itself? Surely we do not
subscribe to the support of these men, to
enable them to counterac tihe salutary pun
ishments fqf crjmc, or to send off an infa

From the London Courier, Sr/it. 5,
Despatches were received this morning
at the Foreign Office from the Hon. Hubert
Gordon, dnted Constantinople, August 13,
fair days later than th> former} and
from Lord Cowley, at Vienna, dated Au
gust 37.
At the time when the courier quitted
Constantinople, notwithstanding the asser
tions of tile French Papers, it appears that
nothing had been yet definitely settled re
specting the Greek question; but Ae nego
tiations were still going on. Great exer
tions were making to raise new levie* of
troons, but they had not been attended with
much success, and H was not expected that
Adt ianople could resist the atuck of the
Kussiau army, nlthough It wa* believed thit
General Diebltsch could not bring more
than 33,000 troops against it. The Com
mander *as understood to have stopped
his advance, in. order to endeavour to in
tercept the Grand Viaier before his arrival
at Adrianuple, having heard that he had
quitted Chnumto for that city. As late a?
the 13th ult. no negoeiator had been sent
from Constantinople to the Russian head

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 10. ?
The Uels EfTcndi, when he intimated to
the English and Preach Ambaitadon that
Commlssoner* were tubeaentfrom Choumln
to tin- Russian head quarters, is wild also to
have expensed that, by IWt. ^Gordon's in
tervention, an armistice might be concluded;
l>ut that the Aml?a*ad? r did not seem au
thorised to assent to the wishes of the Rein
Effendl on this point, and requested him to
address himself to the Prussian General,
Baron Eon Muffling, who was sent by his
court on in extraordinary mission relative
to the relations between the Porta ami Ru*l
kin. Gen, Muffling is still til, and It Is not
hnown whether the Turkish Minister h*?
followed the advice of Mr. Gordon not.
Meantime great measures of defeat* Jg* ?
proclaim* d, and a firman calls on the whole
population of the capital to march against
the enemy. Hitherto it saems to produce
DO effect, and the vaiuntcrrs m\y be soon
ciainted tint repair to K&mts TcfcHHtV
where the S titan now htm his hesdquar
t?r*. The Saltan tfiooght, by his appear
anco in person, to incline the minds of the
people In his favor, but the manner in which
the Sacred Standard has been conveyed
from Terania to Itamls TchWlk has Incens
ed all the Mussulinen. The Saltan rode hi
a carriage; and bad the Standard of the
Prophet carried upon it. This Is an un
heard of, and, In the eyes of the faithful,
indecorous innovation, which, at this mo
ment, looks like presumption. People hi
the streets were heard to say, "it would
he better he should go on toot to the army,
than let himself he rocked at ease here.**?
This temper of the people cannot he un
known to the Sultan, and he was very ftiotv
my on the way. .The salutes of the Eng
lish men of warfa the bay of Bojukdcre,
fired in his honor, seemed to cheer hint u
little, and he immediately ordered thu
Captain Pacha to go on board the English
ship* and thank them for thl* compli
ment* ?
The account* from the army, or rather
from Adrianople, (lor there i* no Turkish
army any where together,) are very unfa
vorable. It is feared that the Grand Visler
U closely shut up in ChautnU, and that the
place will surrender. Urgent orders have
been sent to Hussein Pacha at Rudsehuck,
to relieve the Gtand Vi*ler at Cboumla,
if tt is stilt time. Jamboli is taken by the
ttussian?, rtnd Osman Pacha is now maroi
