J ldv. The DEATH OF THE' KING OF FRAJ7CE, was announced at Liverpool on the iCth, the day the James Crooper sailed. The previous accoursts stilted that the King was entirely helpless, and every prepanltion was making for his dis solution. “ It is not likely, says the Courier, that the demise of the King will occasion any change in the councils or in the policy of France. H e r present miDisters are said to possess the confi dence of the heir to the throne, who is also popular with the army, as *well as with the people.” ^ Considerable alarm existed in con sequence of a tarn otlt of the cotton spin ners In various parts of Lancashire and Scotland. The harvest B ^ r e a t Britain and Ire land, which very abundant, had been nearly Ireland conroued in a disturbed state. M r. Canning was on a visit to Ireland. SirWm. A’Coart, is appointed iVm- bassadorExtraordinary to Portugal. \ Gen. San Blartin had arrived in Lon don, and was to-embark in ittree vveeks for Colombia with his staff, taking will! him, a splendid miiifafy equipment. Geii. Alvarez and his staff, were ^so itbouf to sail for south America. ^ Mr. IN. liothschild has extracted for a loan to the. Neapolitan government to the amount o f about ten million dollars.— It was understood that Lord Cochrane would return to England in January. A new treaty for the occupation of Spain by French troops until January, is announced in the French government paper. We do not find any confirmation of the reported successes of the Greeks. “ C o n s t a n t i n o p l e , Aug. 10. ‘‘ T he Captain Pacha is preparing for tfie at tack of Samos, It wdsf to take' place after the_/ete of the Kourbatn Eairara— that is to say, between the 7th and 10th of this month, “ The Egyptian fleet has arrived olF the Island of Rhodes. “ The Turkish government, it is in sinuated, has a ■ project to carry atvay from the Morea the rebels of the Chris tian population and settle them in Egypt, and to bring Egyptians to inhabit that beautiful peninsula.

The Pirates. — T h e captain and crew of the brig' Henry, belonging to this city and lately captured by the pirates, reach ed their homes last Week. Although every arrival brings an account of new outrages committed by the buccaniers of the West Indies, j^et it is only when they are inflicted upon our near neigh bours. and personal acquaintances that it brings the subject home to our fBeliogs. It is with horror we .contemplate the narrow, hair breadtlt escape of Capt. Rhodes and his men, whp' were eyery rtian of them to liave been coolly murder ed the morning after they were rescued by Capt. Grakam, of the Rritish'&l.oop .of war. T h e s e men have ail of them their w'^es and children or parents and broth- ■^fe^and sisters in this city and neighbou'r- 'TOpJ- Gne of them: returned with Kls arm.broken by a blow with the back of a sword, another his cheek sliced down with a sabre, and al! emaciated by star vation and thirst. T h e account given of these pirates by Capt. Rhodes, is tru ly alarming to every one whose business may call him to adventure on those seas. They appear to be a well organized body of outlaws, countenanced, if not elided by the Spanish government. T h e port where they were carried to was within sixty miles of Havana. Besides, the characters of these pirates shows them to be inliabkants of fbe-UEtvaua,.a'nd to have associated with Vespectahle Society.— Nothing but their cruelty and mode of life distinguishes them from the first men of that city. 'Uiey are between twenty and thirty-five years of age, well dressed, temperate in drinking and not uncivil in their language. This is a de scription o / men not easily to be diverted from their money making trade. They are unlike those desperadoes whose in temperance and other vices- w’ould soon terminate^by death.. On the contrary they are men of resources, careful oflife, and when routed from one place can set tle down unmolested in another, and at any time find a refuge under the regular government of the Island.. While Cap- daip~|l,hqdq^.was unloading his mules, tkfefe came bn board daily one or more *m e n ^ p d rcbase who appeared like regu- Aa.c bred merchants or' planters. F rom.

A gentleman informed us yesterday that the stage overset on the dug way over “ Deep Hollow,” near Rochester, with 6 or 8 passengers.

The nomination of Mr. Ashley was made by the convention aud pub lished with the Ollier official proceedings; giving hot only the names of the presiding officers but the names of gentlemen fronj-the different towns who composed' the conven tion. A n d w e should have supposed th a t before you'consented to publish Mr. King’s nom ination as having- been m a d e by the con vention above referred to, you would at least have required the names of some geniiemen who were members of the convention to have gone forth in support of Mr. King’s claims— especially as j-ou had the official proceed ings before you, which are totally repugnant to any claim on the part of Mr. King. As the case now stands it would seem that any gentleman who has friends may claim a nomination from the convention. The man ner, in which you have treated Mr. King’s claims as made by his friends, and our offi cial proceedings, has induced us to state ful ly all the minute circumstances which took place at both meetings. At our first meeting there were nine towns represented by forty-seven delegates, (no person appearing to represent Hunter.) After three several iballotings for a member of Congress, Mr. King had five votes and Mr. Asbley four; when part of the delega tion from one towu declared that a ballot bad been given for Mr. King by one of ih^r delegates without the consent of the com mittee from their town—they being equally- divided, three for Mr. King and three for Mr. Ashley, and that Itie ballot from their town should have been hlanJc ; which pro- ducedcoDsiderabie excitement, aud induced the convention to postpone all nominations to a'talufe da 5 % in pursuance of which the convention adjourned to the,9th of October. So far as euc know ledge ex ten d s , and it is o u r belief, t h a t a l l M r. Eing-’& friends w e re present when the adjournment look place; a few of Mr. A shley’s friends were absent. At the-second meeting on the 9th inst. all the towns in the c q t^y were represented by forty-three delegateT^^ On the first balloting for member of Congress Mr. Ashley had eight voles, Mr. King one vote, and one blank ballot. On -motion to nominate Mr. Ashley it passed unanimously, not a dissent ing voice was heard—the .'friends of Mr. King apparently uniting in the nomination as cordially as any genlleman present. We have thus miatllely detailed the proceedings , of the convention at both m e e tings, and we are utterly at a loss to imagine wlio those friendsoi M r. K in g are, who claim a nom i nation for that gentlemen.^ We would call your attention to this fa c t; that those dele gates friendly to Mr. Ki.ug at the first meet ing, also attended the adjourned meeting, and took a part in all the deliberatiions, which is totglly repugnant to the idea tliat any such claim originates with them. We will only add, that, when.the coriveMion dis solved the utm o s t Ixarinony and good under standing prevailed.

The Cap tain replied, that the vessel had been des patched solely for the purpose of pro tecting French commerce on the coast, and that it was the sincere wish of the King to observe a perfect neatrality to wards the belligefent powers.

Steam Coach. — Mr, S. T. Conn, of Va. announces that he “ has made an im provement in-ffhe application of steam, which, from its small dimensions and the conceutrjition o f power in the generator, gives c e r^in assurance of enabling him to propel carriages on any turnpike or other road which has'no uncommon‘ob struction.”’ The views o f the inventor and the description, of his invention are thus given to the public :— T h e con struction of the generator is such, the water to be used in it so small quantity, and the fuel so little, that there Vs not the least danger from bursting. And. he has ascertained a method of guiding the car riage which obviates the necessity of rail-ways. This invention is equally ap plicable to. boats, to the fusion of rn'etals, and to machinery of every description, particularly to that which -appertains to mills, It is, however, the wish of Mr. Conn to exemplify the power of his stCaiB' generator, by an experiment at the metropolis of the union.

A DELEGATE. October 18, 1824.- M essrs . E ditors —Last week I commu nicated to the public some of the prominent facts whichAi-anspired. at the two conven tions recently held io ihis county, and which ultim a tely resulted in (w h a t is called) a nomination for Henry Ashley, as a candidate for G o n g ress. I thereby endeavoured to shew my fellow citizens, th a t Ju d g e K ing was the regularly Dominated candid'ate, and on every honest a n d fair principle e n titled to republican support. The friends of Mr. Ashley, in out-door conversation, contend that Mr. King-was not nominated at the first convention, inasmuch as one of the dele gates ffrom Greenville, after the ballot for Judge King was canvassed, declared that it was pot in, without his consent, and that as suming him to be -for Mr. Ashley the dele gates of Greenville were balanced between the two candidates, kn answer to that ab- legalihn, I positively assert, that the dele gate alluded to, did consent that the vote should be put in for Mr. King, and of which there is abundant evidence. What means were made use of, after the vote was receiv ed, to induce that delegate to express his ■ dissent, is best known to certain gentlemen in Catskill, and ther-eby “ hangs a tale.” .4gaiu ; Mr. Ashley’s friends say, that at the last convention, be obtained eight votes out of the ten taken. True, he did—and in what manner did he obtain them? At the first convention, after Judge Kipg obtained a fair nomination, fourteen of the forty-seven delegates, who attended that corivt-ution, and most of them the strong supporters of Judge King, left the conventioa for home ; after their departure the farce of an adjourn ment was got up, in order to defeat the de clared will of the convention. The resolu tion to adjourn was carried as staled in my former coimmiaication. Many of J-udg'e King’s friends, indignant at this dishonorable ireatmeaf, did not attend the second con vention. From Greenville, iwm of bis most prominent • pporters did not attend; from Lexington, but one delegate altended, who voted for Mr. Aahlejr, in. opposition to. Ih*- knoivu sentiments ol a majoiiiy of the dele gates from that town. But the solution this enigma may be found, in ihe fact, that the said one delegate’s brother was nomina ted, as a candidate for the Assembly, from the town of Hunter. As to the mode ia which the Hunter delegation was obtained, I am not disposed to speak, Jbut refer to those delegates for an answer. -Fellow citizens, y o u have the.facts before you; it remains for you to decide, whether you will support a nom ination obtained by intrigue and management, bargain and sale, o r w h e t b e r you w ilL s n p p o r t Ju d g e Iving, who was fairly and honorably nominated. Ju d g e .K ing is a ruodest, unassum ing m a n . Will you permit him to be abused and shut- fled out of a fair nomination, under the cir cumstances above detailed? Honesty aud fairness in political transactions, are quite as important as in private deal. VV. Lexington, Oct. 18, 1824. Apology f o r Mr. Oldwood.

His animadversions were by’ no means intended as an attack upon the worthy aod respectable gentlemen of any quarter of our country; they’were merely’ designed to put such men upon their guard agajiist support ing candidates who have no juSl claims and as little talen t to en title them to-any place of honour or eiiioluraent; and hAFas only to regret that, from information lately receiv ed, the salutary lessons he taught are likely to have no effect,, but from my bnowledgeof pharmacy^ J vv-as enabled to introtJuce a very con-viocing metaphor,, which J trust has bad a soothing effect upon his mind- •• D o not be dejected, said J, as the.most efflcient physic requires time to operate, so your political physic must needs be apparently inactive for a time before the wished for purgal^n caa be visible. Doctor, said he, Itial is a pleas ing consolation; do you-think it 'wifl^ope rate soon .? 1 replied that the whole system would be renovated by the first Monday of November, for the truth of which I offered to stake my whole case of dissecting instru ments, which made the good old man smile arnidsl his suffering. • UniritentionaHy, how ever, 1 happened (ogivethe old man almost deadly offence. I'said it w-ouid be impossi ble to gratify all office seekers, but that those who really at e genuine republicans and-hav-s done much foii the cause, ought to be sup ported as the, reward of their services. With a f a e e flushed w ith indignation and alm o st as much distorted as if; he had endured the- very achm e of th e g-out, be replied, 1 pre sume you too will be putting in yoiir claims for past services* D o .you-support th e de- moQPfftic parly for nc other purpose than to be rewarded by office If so, I hope, sir, you willbedisappointed. If republican principles he, as they certainly are, beneficial to socie ty, every individual member in that society reaps a direct benefit aud-sufficient reward for all bis support. A' man with goodiolea- tions but a very indifferent judgment, may be a warm supporter of democracy, but should he therefore* be made a legi-slator,'’ No : the man only who is the best qualified slionld be preferred. What are we to ex pect from a legislator with no experience and almost as little judgment.'’ What have we experienced but disgrace.arid dt^feat even in the b e s t concerted m e a s u res?' L e t us take heed too that the mao of our clioice should possess in teg r ity as w e ll , as good sense, then shall we hare, easier access to the bouse, nor need v.;e apprehepd being- jostled with the busy crowd of lobby inern- b e is, and all th e ingred ien ts-of co r n ip lio a w.illi w h ic h lobbies axe generaJly iDfested. Tfos, I repeat it, send men of tried iuiegrity whom the hope of -;d cannot-eoiTiH-t nor the frowns of a junto overawe* A t this mo ment he was attacked with a most severe fit of that enemy to good living, when be began, to imprecate the habits of the. west, and as I could-render him no relief I camel off, not however till I promised to make tljis hum ble apology.
