- ; 61,S A M ERIC. f.V PAPERS. Ratarowitz, OCT. 19.—Our journals are teeming with the accounts of the King of England's corn manna with his visit to Ireland, with addresses, and festivals, and songs, and loyal toasts, and music and triumphal marches, and all that give bustle, and splendour, and pageantry to a spectacle se brillant, —What a contrast is flirnished on tl.is side of the Atlantic, in the Manguratioa of en American Pre sident! The Senate, after having counted the suf frages, proclaim the saccesshil candidate, who, on taking the constitutional oath required, is from that moment, and to all intents and purposes, the Chief Magistrate of the American republic. He may oc casionally visit his fellow-citizens in sonic remote part of the continent, omen he p uaakes of their hos pitality and departs W e may learn by the daily journals where the Chief' Magistrate is to be found, and even they, perhaps will not mention the fact, unless sonic special circumstances, worthy of atten tion, should occur in the course of his journey. —But where are his guards in the meantime?— He has none, he never dreams of having any ; and should be take such a precaution, he would be laughed at from use extremity of this continent to the other. He may probably devote a month or more to such a . jaunt, and (la his return to his home, he may be tiamil, inn the recess of Con gress, sitting quietly by his lire side, with his wife and children, or perhaps superilaending the mildew. tion of tobacco. Sarely it will be said, if' the Chief Magistrate of this republie can afford so much tin.c to his own enjoyment, the members of his cabinet must du a double duty. Here the foreign enquirer finds himself mistaken again ; he perhaps proceeds to Washington, in the expectation of meeting the heads of departments ; but what may be his surprise to learn that the President is in Virginia, the Secre tary of State in Nlassacliussets, the Secretary of the Treasury i.t Georgia, and the Secretary of the Navy in New 1 ork. lle will find, to ha sure, a few clerks in these respective offices, who are, of themselves competent to transact all the ordinary business during the recess. It eases demanding the presence of these olliairs occurs, they are notified by snail: they come, resolve, and again disperse to their families and to their homes. This is the distinctive line between republicanism and royalty—the Pre sident and all the heads of the departments are more than half of their time simple citizens, and scarcely contemplated by their relatives and friends in tiny other light. As an evidence of this sort of pervading equality, we were conversing with a Virginia planter some time since, who on some questions that occurred inn the course of his remarks, ebserved, that he derived his intelligence from the lips olCol Monroe. We for get what the information was, nor is it material to our present purpose: but this 4 , entletnan thought no more at that time of the President of the United States, than he did of Kii.g George, or the Empe ror Alexander. Now is there not a moral dignity in this, far superior to all the artificial splendour and glitter of a royal coronation ? Is there nut in this combination of the citizen and the magistrate, something superior to magnificent titles, to stars, and to garters man superintending the welfare of the United States, and employing his leisure mo ments, that no time may puss away unimproved, in the cultivation of his turn ? This shows us of what materials our magistrates are made : we are com pelled to rely on no legitimate stuck—to watch over nu infant's cradle, or to observe with anxious soli citude a legislator in his go cart, doomed whets u child to play with a Bina:penny whistle, and• when a man with crowns and :sceptres. It is the prevaleme of such ideas in the first set tlement of this country that has made. Americans what they are. We are now going track, we trust, to the simplicity of Ludy times. Awhile, the pomp of power, and the intoxicatiun of European victo ries, seentad to have seized upon our minds ; we waited every arrival with intense interest, to learn how many inett Were sacrificed at the shambles of human butchery ; how many cities were over. thrum' : how many towns and hamlets laid in ashes. But we have lived to witness, and partially to feel, the cunsequenta s of such ltAlitlasti:lg glory. We have livtal to ace intlay compterwa them selves compelled to fly the field before those armies that they had formerly vanquished, tiirced to lay down their crowns and sceptres; and to pantile of the plain and simple character of an American citi seta or to pine away the dregs of their existence, finally, to die on a barran rock, surrounded by the surges of the Atlantic—denied in the hear of death out only the presence of the Lords and Ladies Vi the Ct.aal, Lot likeivie the tears of sympathiz jag ti•aaals, wiare riot even t.tntittg:.l faith or filial s e asilanty Lt.tsitl mutsigla a pillow fa Ore head, or ions that eve WiIIINC IMIUUI4 once mode the wale derided 111/11;11/ LII.OIIC tremble Mid turn pale.

"/ THE NATIONAL REGISTER l'utuneLpitta, Ocr- 25.—T0 our great disap pointment, on applying last evening at the stage oflice fin. our usu.tl packets from New York, we found that nu mail bag had been received by the steam boat. The disappointment was greaLer, as it was known that the Berea/es (sailed the 17th Sept. from Liverpool) was below at New York, and that 119 less than six expresses had arrived here from that city in the courAu of Tuesday night ; the. first of which immediately started for the Brandy Mills and 13iltimore. The demand for flour in this city was so great at an early hour, that suspicion was imme diately excited, and but few sales were made; that commodity is now held :it about 10 dollars. Our information is, that owing to the failure of the crops in England, in txmsequence of the bud weather, bread stuffs laid risen from 20 to 30 per cent. The New York market was drained, by a passenger who lett the //creak: about 60 miles from the land, and was in New York the whole day incog,. Between two and three hundred persons left this city yesterday, for the purpose of buying up all the dour in the neighbouring counties. Accounts from New Orleans, to 26th September, by the mail, state, that information from every pout of the State, but particularly the interior, confirmed the statement that not more than half u crop of cot ton w , ,uld be made this season. (From the Battu* Columbian antind, October 27.) In a court held in Pensacola, Governor Jatkson made the following remark:—" I am clothed with powers that no one under a republic ought to pos sess, and which, I trust, will never again be given to any man—nothing will afford me more happiness than to learn that Congress in its wisdom shall have distributed them properly, and in such a manner as is consonant to our earliest and dearest impressions. Yet, as I hold those powers by the authority of an Act of Congress, and Commissions from the l'resi dent of the United States, it therefore becomes uty imperious duty to discharge the sacred trust reposed in me, according to my best abilities; even though the propt.r exercise of the }maws given might in volve me in heavy personal responsibilities. It has been my fortune to be thus circumstanced on other occasions, in my various relationships as a public servant, yet I never have, and never will, shrink from the discharge of my public duties, from any apprehension of personal responsibihiy." NEW-YORK, ()CT. 170—The editor of the Na lionalGazale has thought proper to notice the regrets we expressed at finding bins the " Apologist tin. the late conduct of Gen. Jackson at Pensacola."—" Our knowledge," he adds, •' of this case is, we appre hend more intimate than that of the New York editor. We rely txmlidently upon the results of a more full and dispassionate investigation. The first impulse of an American public writer, should Le towards his own countrymen and country ; both should always be presumed to lie in the night, on whatever occasion, until the contrary is estab lished by irrellagable evidence. When this secret intelligence, which at present is confined to the breast of Mr. Walsh, shall be com municated to the public, we shall be enabled to judge how far it may extenuate the conduct of Gen. Jackson We must, however, diller from the sen timents of the Philadelphia editor, in thu conclud hag paragraph we have quoted. Our " flist impulse" wall ever be towards truth and justice. Thu cause of General Jackson is nut at present the cause of our country, nor will it become such until the ad. ministration shall acknowledge and justify his mea sures. ‘Ve consider nothing inure unworthy or more dangerous, than the extension of that feeling which would excuse the periktration orviolelic and outrage in time of palm, because the, individual who committed it had been bold and successful in war, and this we have no doubt is the real opinion of Mr. IValsh. ( Esleact si r finals Balliature, Ocg. g 9.) " The brig. :Marylanu arrived in ti.is port -Yester day in 18 days from Curacoa. On the 29th Sept. tell in with the brig Boston of Selim, from St. Do mingo, with a cargo of mahogany ; the brig was up set in a squall, her masts were cut away, but the hull was water lugged.

Extract of a letter from St. John's, Oct. 10.-- The landing of the first native settleri in New Brunswick was celebrated here on the 4th instant. Three sr:lt:ions tables were laid out in the King's. square, and at one o'clock an fix was roasted whole, and each table supplied amidst the acclamations of the people. SLAVE TRADE.—On the coast of Guinea, an of_ ficer commanding a Danish settlement had eceasion recently to put in force the instructions received from his government ► with regard to the Slave Trade; having ti.ken prisoners the crew of a Por tuguese Slave ship, and sent them to Sierra Leone. It is gratifying to the friends of humanity, that f lit nations of the civilised world adhere with becomin g constancy to the agreements entered into Ly them with other powers, (who have basely abandon e d their sacred engagements) in the cause of the in. jored sons of Africa, England, Hol.and, the United States, and Denmark, have acted with firmness mil justice—.while France, Spain, and Portugal, have exhibited the most inhuman delinquency. 1.1 trade the two latter nations have always proved themselves cruel and rapacious, from the conquest of Peru by Pizarro, and that of the dominions of India, by the successors of Vasco de Gains, to the present day. 13ut fro:n France better conduct was to have been expected ; owing, as that government does, its present establishment in a great measure to England, it might be supposed that it would have contracted sonic of the humane kelings which actuate the conduct of that nation. DREODEN, Nov. 2.—lt is certain that the final ratification of the act of the free navigation of the Elbe will take place in the course of November; that it will begin to be in force on the Ist January, 1822; since the disputes respecting the duties of customs between Prussia and Anhalt seem to be ad• justed by reciprocal concessions. The only difficulty at the conclusion was u reservation on accouni , of the maritime rights of Hamburgh and Hanover, by which the must friendly understanding certainly cannot be further interrupted. The Austrian Com missioner, Baron V. Muuek, who lately received from Vienna the little cross of the highly honourable order of St. Stephen, as a testimony of his Majesty's satisfaction, is expected in a few days to complete the ratifica;:on, for which purpose several of the Deputies from distant parts have already sent their full powers to Members now here. The - Second lieport of the Lords, on the Silk and Wine Trude, bus been published. The former of these trades the Committee think deservirg the at tention of the Legislature, and in support of this opinion they state several interesting circumstances. The quantity ofsilk used in France, in which counts try the silk manufacture stood so high, was, up to 1812, under 2,00u,(Vollos. a year, while the quan tity pitying duty, used in England, averaged for the last three years more than that amount. On the subject of the wine trade, the Committee state, that a considerable diminution has taken place for some years past in the importation of hareign wines, but they do not venture to recommynd any material al teration in the present system of duties, until some disposition is evinced by the French thwernment to concede something in favour of llcitish nianufac tnres. Ctulman, the unfortunate young man who was executed with the other individuals on Wednesday morning last, was occupied fola length of time the night prior to his execution in writing a letter to his wife, who is now in the female side of the prison, Newgt.te. She is a fine-looking female, about 2d years a age. Ever since the fatal hour that robbed her of her husband tears have nut ceased to flow copiously, and she is in a most pitiable state. Her huslAntd requested the fitvour of Mr. Baker to deliver it soon after. It was couched in the must allixtionate terms, and the style and language of the composition reflected credit on the talents of tl.e writer. During the time she was reading it, we understand, she was frequently interrupted by cx. essive grief aid phrcnzy. ANCICNT COIN. —On Tuesday morning, while some workmen were excavating the fluor of a shop is the Overgate, Dundee, they found a number of crowns, halt-crowns, and shillings, of the reigns of Elizabeth, James, and Charles the First. The most of them are considerably corroded ; but upon some, the trove of the royal maid is plain ; and on others, the kingly pedant and his unfortunate successor arc represented_ upon horseback, wearing the diadem, and with a drawn falchion in their hands. The im pressions are well struck ; but the edges are extremely rugged. As the house in a hich they were found is of no antiquity. it is supposed that some cautious citizen may have deposited them under ground to save them from the grasp of Cromwell's saints, when their leaguer of Dundee terminated in the slaughter of many of her deli:talent, and the giving of her riches as a prey to the spoiler. p I nu ,
