The few days which intervened between the publication in the Richmond Enquirer and that in the Kentucky Gazette, and the distance between the places at which these were severally made, leave no room for suspicion that the editor of one of those papers was indebted to the editor of the other for any hints or suggestions in the case.

Philad. U. S. Gaz. We are sincerely glad that the east room is about to be furnished, as it was always designed that it should be.

We annex the three following paragraphs, in perpetuam rei memoriam. Extract of a letter, January 1st, 1827, to the editors of the Richmond Enquirer "This being a day on which the presi dent's house is thrown open to all visiters, I went, among others, to pay my respects to him or rather, I should fairly confess, I went to see the east room, foir the furnishing of which we had voted twenty-five thousand dollars at the last session of Congress. I was anxious to see how that a-motint of furniture could be stowed away in a single room, and my curiosity was fully satisfied. It was truly a gorgeous sight to behold, but had too much the look of regal magnificence to be perfectly agreeable to my old republican feelings." Richmond inquirer, Jan. 4, 1727.

It was immediately known that this whole paragraph ws false from beginning to ending, and that "1" had been guilty of wilful lying but it was about four months after the date of this coinage, that the Enquirer excused itself by tamely saying "The account to which the writer refers, respecting the east room was forwarded to us, as it purports, by one of the most intelligent and distinguished members of con gress, --fiichmond inquirer, Jlpru 27,1 827. And it remained for the editor of the U. S. Telegraph, on the 1st August, 1829, to cap the story as follows "It is well known that through Jilr. Adam's aristocratic pride, this elegant room (i.

e. the east room) in the President's house, was left unfurnished," And so stands the affair between the Enquirer, the distinguished member of congress, and the editor of the Telegraph. ifofttijn. Capitulation of Tampico. A slip from the office of the Baltimore American furnishes an authentic copy of the articles of capitulation agreed on between the commanders of the Spanish and Mexican forces at Tampico for the surrender of the former to the latter.

The terms are substantially as have been before reported. The safety of the lives and private property of evrey indi vidual ot the invading division is solemnly guaranteed by the Mexican army, and the division ot ueneral isarradas solemnly prom ise never to return, nor to take up arms against tne Mexican republic. Libera. Unpleasant news from the Western Coast of Africa has been received at Philadelphia. The black Prince Abduhl Rahman, for whose benefit the A-merican people were laid under contributions about a year ago, is dead, together with about thi'rty of the colonists, who last departed from Norfolk.

The yellow fever has raged with great violence at Sierra Leone, destroying so many of the inhabitants as to render it questionable, whether it may not be entirely abandoned by the British Government. The slave trade is still carried on with great activity. The writer of the letter from which the information is obtained, saw 6 or eight slavers waiting fora cargo the part of them Baltimore built vessels under Spanish colors. FRANCE. It would seem, by the accounts which have been coming from France for some time past, both directly, as well as by the way of England, that the government of that country is in a very critical condition.

The popular mind seems to have chafed till it has become very irritable, and the symptoms appear to be quite revolutionary. The ministry, with Prince Polignac at the head, is spoken of in many quarters in terms both of contempt and indignation contempt for their alledged imbecility, and indignation for their supposed subserviency to the British Cabinet, as well as the arbitrary tone of their administration. The press has been vexed and persecuted for the freedom with which it has commented on the acts and policy of the ministry, and still it does not seem disposed to succumb, or to lower its tone. Then again, the petulance which the government has manifested toward La Fayette, is a sign that the legitimates, the lovers and abettors of arbitrary power, are not only conscious of entertaining unconstitutional desires and schemes, but feel that he is right in their way, too faithful to his principles to be corrupted, too firm and brave in spirit to be too much beloved and confided in by the people to be openly sacrificed. The people, moreover, understand all this, and take but little pains to conceal their disrelish of the administration and we are inclined to believe that, at this very moment, La Fayette could, if he should set about it in earnest, produce a revolution in the French goverment, and shake the feeble Bourbon from the throne.

The old patriot has been continualy growing in the esteem and confidence, not only of the French people generally, but of the more gifted sa-gacious'among the leading advocates of liberal principles in France, as well as the friends of regulated liberty every where; and'Ve think it is not too much to say that he is the center and representative of more moral power than any one man in France perhaps, than any single individual now alive. He has no sceptre in his hand, and no sword upon his thigh; and, though, while the times continue tranquil and the ordinary functions of government are permitted to remain undisturbed, the existing authorities may appear all powerful, yet let commotion begin and the people be obliged to take sides, and it would soon be manifest that there are looking toward him and confiding in him, those opinions and sentiments which make sceptres strong and swords slurp.

It is an unquestionable fact, that the last vessels from Europe, did not brinsr out the latest "novelties in gentleman, dresses." No one can account lor the singular omission. The exquisites who parade Broadway lounge in the saloons, or enact Adonis, at the private masquerades, are in that state of "betweenity," to use the language of a famous New-York Senator, which is horrible to be borne.

Not a soul knows what to appear in whether check shirts ought to be countenanced, or the coat flaps elongated or whether black cravats ought to ter minate in a rosette or not. The news of the fall of Andrianople, is not half as important as the intelligence of the decline of the hat, or the widening of the pantaloons. There is not an exquisite, at the present moment, that does not creep into his coat and pantaloons with perfect fear and trembling.

Oct. 28. Shocking Accident. Last Thursday forenoon, a most distressing accident occurred in the carding room of Messrs. Higgin- bottom Co's Factorv.

i tKiQ villnrro. A lad named Peter Ward, about 16 years of age, wnose Dusiness was tending the carding machines, seeing a leather band displaced from one of the drums, and wind itself round an iron shaft, attempted to unwind it while the machine was in full operation. It appeared he siczed hold of the belt, which was hanging down a few inches, and instead of its unwinding, he was instantly drawn up between the drum and the ceiling and his right arm wound two or three times round the horizontal shaft. The first no-ticp given in the factory was the screaming of females, when one of the workmen discovering the cause, instanly ran below, and closing the gate, stopped the wheel; an interval of nearly a minute is said to have elapsed, from the time of his being drawn up, to the stoping of the machinery, during which time there must have been fifteen or twenty revolutions of the body over the drum, and each time dashing it against the floor above, as tho quantity of blood on the timbers plainly exhibit. We saw the little sufferer but a few moments after he was taken to his father's house, near by, and a more afflicting sight we have never witnessed, covered was with blood, and black with bruises; his right arm was mangled and wounded in a shocking manner, and broken at the CReturns from tbirty-five towns in the fifth Congressional district, give Gen.

Editor In these days of nominal reform, when the faith of many honest men begins to be staggered in the favorite doctrine of the nation the people's adequacy to selfgovernment: when the friends of the present method of administering the free institutions of a free people, are disposed to characterise their doings, or rather their misdoings, with the cry of reform reform and to screen themselves, or attempt defence behind the rampart of Thomas Jefferson's example, it may not be amiss to present your readers with an original, and 1 presume hitherto unpublished letter, from President Jefferson, to the late Gov. Hall. This letter is, as the letter itslf shows, a reply sundry citizens of this State, who had addressed the President, praying the removal of Col.

M'Lane from the office of Collector of the port of Wilmington. The friends of President Jackson and the existing Administration, may here learn Thomas Jefferson's method with apolitical opponent in office. His fixed determination not to exercise the power of removal, except in cases of incompetency or unfaithfulness. The sequel of this letter will probably explain the reasons, why it has not before been made public. But Thomas Jefferson the then President of the United Statec, David Hall the then Governor of the State of Delaware, and Allen McLane the then Collector of Wilmington, being all dee'd.

and the circumstances which form the rea sons of request, that the letter should not be made public having ceased to exist, it will not be thought out of order we hope, that the whole letter be published verbatim. Such letters begin now to be looked upon as the precious relics of old times, and in these times of trial, when so many extraordinary political doctrines are taught, any thing from the pen of Thomas Jefferson, in relation to public offices, should certainly not be withheld from the public. The letter is in Mr. Jefferson's hand writing, and is word for word as follows Del. Journal.

Washington, July 6, 1802. Sir I received in due time your favors of May 31st, and June 9, the former covering an address from a democratic republican meeting at Dover, the latter one from the grand and general juries of the Circuit Court of the United States, held at Dover, both of them praying a removal of Allen McLane from the office of collector of the customs at Wilmington. When I first came into the administration, complaints were exhibited against Col. McLane, and an inquiry immediately directed to be made into his" conduct. Every opportunity which could be desired was given, on both sides, to the producing of testimony and on a very full inveit igation, he was finally acquitted.

He had a right to consider that acquittal as a bar to every thing anterior; and certainly according to sound principles it must be so considered. I am persuaded that the Republican citizens who have concurred in these addresses, would be as incapable of wishing me to do any thing which should bring a just censure on the administration, as I should be from yielding to such a wish. We have no interests nor passions different from those of-our fellow citizens. We have the same object, the success of representative government. Nor are we acting for ourselves alone, but for the whole human race.

The event of our experiment is to show whether man can be trusted with self government. The eyes of suffering humanity are fixed on us with anxiety as their only hope, and on such a theatre and for such a cause, we must suppress all smaller passions and local considerations. The leaders of federalism say, that man cannot be trusted with his own government. We must do no act which shall replace them in the direction of the experiment. We must, nnt hv ano itmurf.

ure from principle, dishearten the mass of our leuow citizens who Have confided to us this interesting cause. If, since the date ottne acquittal, Col. McLane has done any new act inconsistent with his duty as an officer, or as an agent of the adm'nistration, this would be legitimate ground for new inquiry, into which I should consider myself as free to enter. No particular fact of this kind is cliarged in the addresses but only that he is disagreeable to the citizens of the place, this would be among the proper considerations on the appointment of an officer, and ought, before appointment, to have weight, but after many years possession of an office, and an exact discharge of its duties, removal for this reason would not be approved by those beyond the pale of his unpopularity. Our opponents are so disposed to make a malignant use of whatever comes from me, to torture every word into meanings never intended, in order to veil their own passions and principles, that I must ask the favor of you to communicate verbally the sentiments of this letter, to those who forwarded their addresses through you, not permitting the letter or-any copy to so out.

Berkshire American. Stage Accident. A friend has politely favored us with a letter from Mr. Sam'l S. Howe, (recently of Shoreham) giving an account of a most dangerous and disastrous stage accident, which occurred near Royalton, on the morning of the 7th inst.

The stage (for Hanover) had passed Royalton scarcely a mile and a half, when the horses took fright and precipitated the coach down an almost perpendicular descent of 50 or 60 feet. Of the five passengers, Judge Dana of Cabot had three ribs broken and was otherwise hurt, so that his life is despaired of; a Miss Porter of Hanover, was severely bruised, though not so much as to endanger her life; while Mr. Howe and the other gentleman, providentially escaped with but slight contusions. The accident occured about four o'clock in the morning, and the safety of a single passenger, seems to us almost a miracle. The driver and horses were not injured as the fore wheels were somehow separated from the coach, in its descent.

We do not understand that any blame attaches to the driver. Vermont American. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. The taste of Philadelphians is not only strange, but passing strange. Let a man of ordinarily humane feelings attend the Arch-street Theatre of a night when Mr.

Peters and his two infant daughters perform upon the tight rope, and he will be shocked and horrified at the savage exhibition. To hink of paying half a dollar to see a girl ten years old pushing a wheel-barrow up a rope, from the stage to the gallery, a height of something like forty or fifty feet above the pit It is a monstrous perversion of the common feelings of our nature to countenance such an exhibition worse, absolutely, than the bull-baits of Spain. This strange feat was performed several times at the above-named Theatre during the last week, and generally to crowded houses. We suppose our citizens attend from nearly the same motives which influence them in attending an execution. Mr.

Peters and his two daughters appeared upon the stage, each having a fantastically ornamented wheel-barrow. Three tight ropes were stretched from the stage to the gallery, over the heads of that part of the audience in the pit, and on which the three performers commenced propelling each a wheel-barrow. With breathless anxiety tne entire audience witnessed their process They started, and reached the middle tf the ropes in safety, suspended fifty feet from the pit. Every bosom throbbed with the most intense interest, fearful that the very next step might plunge them from the dizzy height. One of the ropes on which the daughter stood became too slack.

The eldest girl, ten years old, felt the rope to slacken under her feet, and knowing that her lite depended on its being kept tight, her frame was convulsed with fear she trembled like an aspen-leaf the big drops ot inward anguish ran down her cheeks, and to save herself, she placed one foot up on the rope which supported her father. In this awful situation, the audience were mute and silent as the srrave. Many turned away their heads, or covered their eyes with Handkerchiefs, to shun the horrid sight. The feelings of the beholders were painful beyond description. Many were truly sor ry they Ind ever placed themselves in the way of witnessing the heart breaking ex hibition, and resolved to shun it, or any thing like it, forever afterwards.

But the struggle between life and death was soon over. The three miracuously descended to the stage, on reaching which, the audience broke out into loud applauses, more from real joy at seeing the two charminir girls again on tera firma, than from any pleasure they had derived from the feat. By all tho tender feelings of our nature by all the love we bear our children by all that we consider gentle and humane, we solemnly protest against this most unnatural species of amusement.
