Tho whole sceno-^„ the peals of artillery, tho animating sounds of numerous‘^military hands, the presonca of the vast concourse ofFeoplef ahdlhe occasion that assembled them, altogether.produced emotions not easily described, hut which every American WiUrehdily conceive. '** (M teaching tho t^nk of the FotottiaC, near Vhcre the Mount Yernon steam vessel was in waiting, all the carriages in the procession, ex cept the General’s wheeled off, and the citizens in them assembled on foot around that of the General. The whole military body then pass ed'him in review, as he stood in the barouche of the Fresident, attended by the Secretar ies of State, of the Treasury, and of the Navy.— Aff er the review, the General proceeded to the steam vessel, under a salute of artillery, sur rounded by as many citizens, all eager to catch the last look, as could press on the large wharf; and».at four o’clock, this great, andl good extra- \ ordinary man, trod, for the last time, the soil of America, followed by the blessings of every pa- . ' triotic heart that lives in it. “ As the vessel moved off, and for a- short timc.aller, the deepest silence was observed by the whole of the vast multitude that lined the shore. The feeling that peryaded them was that of children bidding a drial farewell to a imnerated parent. The whole rethainc'd gazing after the retirir^ vessel, until she had passed Greenleaf s Point, where another salute repeat ed the valedictory sounds of respect, and these \again were not long after echoed by the heavy guns of fort Washington,’ and reminded us of the rapidity with which this benefactor and friend of our country Was bOnie from it. \ The General was accompanied to the Bran dywine by the Secretary of the Navy, the May ors of the three cities (jf the District, the Com- mander-in-Chief of the Army, the Generals of the Militia of the District, Com. Bainbridge, Mr. Custis of Arlington, and several other gentlemen.\ Singular and phasing coinciiUncc ,—^The fcrl- lowing is noted as a remarkahle incident in the chapter of chances, On the morning that Gen. Layfactte landed at Staten Island, from the Cadmus, in August, 1.826, a rainbow was ob served spanning the heavens, its bases resting oh Staten and Long Island, and arching the Narrows. This fact was observed at the time, and the circumstance made the subject of se veral paragraphs, in which the fancy ofthe edi torial corps converted the appearance of the Heavens into a celestial welcoming of the cham pion of freedom in two hemispheres. Their imagination has now received matter ibr -more ample indulgence; and the remarkable coinci dence related in the Washington papers, at tending the departure ofthe Brandywine, seems to give confirmation and stability to the crea tions of fancy. When the *Brandywlinc put out to sea, the day which had been cloudy and rai ny was cleared up, and a rainbow enclosed the heavens, beneath the centre of which the ship went gallantly out, freighted with more than Caesar’s fortunes. Thus the Iris of the skies— the beautiful messenger of heaven— added her congratulations and her adieus to those of ten millions of freemen, joining with them to “ wel come the coming, speed the parting guest.” jV. y. spectator. FOREIGN. 1 ’Srom the JV. Y. American. 'rhe arrivals of the John Wells and Crisis, the former from Liverpool, the latter from Lon don, bring our dates to the 10th and 12th August. By them it appears, that the affairs of Greece arc in siaHi quo. Missolonghi still holds out, though closely blockaded. The Government of Greece has declared a blockade of the Gulf of Corinth, and proclaimed a general amnesty to all convicted of popular offences. A Turkish si.xty-six-gun ship, a frigate and a corvette, have been burned by the Greek fire ships, and six or eight transports taken. Odys seus, in attempting to escape from the citadel of Athens where he was confined, fell from the wail and was killed. The Greek accounts, which are the only ones of much interest, seem to be involved! iiwgreat confusion ,* and we confess ourselves unable *to discover, however much we desire it, that the Greeks were making successful headway, On the water they are always triumphant, but the land seems less propitious to them. Nothing very decisive, however, for either party has re cently occurred. We observe with regret, not less atthe6vent, than at the manner of it that the heroine Bohaliiia had perished %an inglori ous feud. Her brother, itTs sa^yi|ad by his conduct to a young girl, provoked|j|B relatives, who were making a clamor arounePthe house, when Bobalina made a sortie upon them, and was shot through the head by an unknown hand. Spain is disturbed as heretofore. The King hesitating between two Cabinet Ministers; the one supported by the reasonable portion of the natibn, the other representing the cleir^ and fanatics generally, is, to compare great things with small, very much in the situation ofthe long-cared animal in the fable between two bundles of hay, O wing to the unqualified repeal ed the- combi nation laws last year, much riotous'and dange rous conduct has been adopted in England by lahourcrs of various crafts, to induce their em ployers to increase their wages. In some in stances, these tumultuous assembla^s have very seriously injured the interests ofthe mas- ters—a .-S a recent one at Sunderland, have heeuat -fid with^gnicIanGholy loss of hvas to tho deluded workmen. In this the seamen it appears employedrin the^ihersi or coal carrying, ships, thought they w^re enli- tled to more pay, and refused en masse t6 #b»k, unless their terms were granteii. Their 'em ployers, without making any discussion> went,to work, and procured seamen i?ohi-else- where r whereupon the union ?jVe?va8 the.y'c.slil themselves^ resolved to prevent the ers from havigat|hg the ships \vhich they had been aecustOton^ to 'sail in, and accordingly, actually boarded and forciWv defamed an out ward bound Vessel, The accom panied By a '^all detachmei^t of the military interfered) and after ineffectually Warning the mob to disperse, and undergoing from it much outrage, ordered the soldiers tp fire, when seven were killed^ arid many others wounded. Peace was.immediately restored, and tho vessels ready for sea were permitted to depart; ^TILL later from ENGLAND. The ship Florida arrived in New-York on the 13th, bringing Liverpool dates to tho 16.tiji,.and London papers to the 13th of August, both In clusive. We copy the following rbih the N» Y. Spectator; The fall in the price of cotton has produced great consternation amongst the dealers in that article in England, and has occasioned several extensive failures. The debts of tho first house which stopped payment in Liverpool, in conse quence of the cotton speculation, amount ta uxi- wards of 400,000 pounds sterling. G reece . —It is with the most undissemhied satisfaction that we are again enabled to an nounce, with much confidence, Intelligence from Greece ofthe most joyous, nay, glorious char acter. The dark cloud which lowered portefe- tously over the Morea, has, wc have reason to hope, been dispelled. The details of this in telligence will be found bcloiv. If true, the de feat ofthe Egyptians has been sigwil *,. and the success of the Greek arms elsewhere, must ter minate this fourth and most formidable cam paign. While indulging, however, in thc,?e ,e5c- pressions of exultation, we mu^t still .%i)ow room for disappointment, as the Austrian- Ob server ofthe 1st of August, contains an. article, said to Have been furnished by a person who v Jisited the fleet of the Captain Pacha, which re presents the Greeks to bo on the verge erfuin, and treats the accounts, unfavorable to tlm Turks, which have been published, as being, for the most part, mere delusions. Tho Cou rier speaks doubtingly, “ because, although the ' same facts are stated upon the authority of va rious persons awiving at Leghorn, from Hydra, Cyprus, &.C., yet there is a deficiency of dates and names of places- This, however,, (it is ve ry justly added) fo, not suflicient to throw dis credit upon the Concurrent accounts which have been received. A few days wMl proba bly determine the matter, by supplying us with theofliciai intelligence, if so great a victory has really been achieved.” A letter, moreover, from Constantinople, of July 10, appears alrea dy to anticipate the defeat. It says:—“ We generally suppose here, that Ibrahim Pacbfc must retreat from the interior of the Morea, as he has neither provisions nor ammunition ne cessary to maintain his advanced position, be sides his force, originally, never exceeded 14,- 000, an army by no means equal to the under taking.” : Speaking of the account of tlie overthrow and capture of Ibrahim Pacha, the Morning Herald remarks:— \• If this intelligence bo true, the Pacha be ing wounded and a prisoner, they have gained, a signal and decisive triumph- Had tfio Turk*- ish or Egyptian General penetrated and gained possession of the Alorca, reason and thOvbkpe- ricnce of past ages stages! strong grounds, for, apprehending the ruin of the Greeks- Greeks arc to the Turks at present, something like what the Athenians were to the Lacede monians in the memorobte PelojKmcsfan war. They have a great maritime superiority. With, this the Athenians protracted the war—one of the most sanguinary in history—^luring 26 yrs. but were at last reduced to extremity and ruin. It is to be feared the late of Greece would now again be determined by that of the Peloponp- sians, if the Pacha succeeded in his invasion. It was not even once, but'twice, that the desti nies of Greece were determined here. The capture of Corinth and the Isthmus alonp by Mummrns.the Roman general, made Greece a Roman province. It is rather an intenDStmg historical coincidence, that the same place, the Isthmus,, which was the scene of victory to the ancieat oppressor, is now, (supposing the aevys true) the scene of deteat to the •modern,\ this narrow tongue of land, Ibrahim Pacha is said to have been defeated, wounded, and'made a prisoner. Another curious hbtorical peeiili- ^ity is, thatthisis, we believe, the first instarice in which an Egyptian army has fought in Greece. It is supposed that Greece was first peopled from Phmnicia and Egypt; but this is the first time that Greeks and Egyptians hare been op posed to each other in arras. In the time of Pericles a di^strous expedition was sent to Egypt, but it was directed against the Per sians, whose, yoke the Egyptians were desirous to throw off. This inteUigence is not of a na ture to be implicitly believed. It rests on the authority of the Captaii^ of Austrian vessels, and though dated both from Legliorp. anJ Treiste, is traceable to acommbnsovircerfvv , FRANCE.^The rumors of a change of mini^' try are yet kept afloat, both of London and'Fa- ris papers, have the list cut and dried as fd|- low s G e n e ral Foy, the War Department i M.

The necessity of having experienced of ficers in thp corps which are going to America, has induced the Minister of War to employ a great number'belonging to the ancient army, who have not yet undergone any sentence of purification. *' ’ It is said that a battalion of the Sd Rcgt. of the Spanish Line has revolted at St. An^d, in consequence of their having received orders to- emhark for the Ilaranna.

M ixledgevilee , Aug. 29, 1826. ) Sia— \ have received your communicatioa, through Mr. Secretary Pierce, with two papers purporting to be copies of letters from your Ex cellency to tho President oLthe United States, heating date the 26th July and 6th Aug, where- ia, it appears you are pleased to write at me and of me, notwithstanding your avowed resolution not to write, io me. To tills iviso e.xpedicnt, to preserve the im mense weight of dignity under which your ex cellency la!)or.s, I can have no objection. I take this occasion before noticing your assumed facts and argument,*^ ta assure you, that I have no authority, whatever, from the Presi dent of the United States, or the Department of War,, to write or speak to you'upon any other than public and official subjects—such as I have with perfect frankness and cordiality, communi cated to you, previous to tlie receipt o f your letter of the n t h July. In that letter, you will recollect, you so far lost sight of your own proper sphere of action, as to attempt to give me what you term \ a gentle rebuke.’* You thus, then laid asieSe the wonted high themes of your br'iliiant pen— the'Federal Government, the Fed eral Judiciary, State rights, Yazoo claims, ^c. 4*c, —and leaving all these great matters to stand or move in tho separate and ffistinct orbits in which the federal and state constitutions and laws have wisely placed them, you have “ de scended,” rather hastily as it would seem, to unauthorised personal animadversion and \ re buke” touching certain official duties: confided to me. In repelling the personal censure and meilace contained in what you have termed your \ mild rebuke,” I Iiavo acted on my own individual responsibility, without any authority, save that which is implanted in the breast of every up right man, civil or‘savage, and which is known to the virtuous and the wise, as the first lavo of nature” —a law which authorises the free use of the bayonet agaim*t the highway robber of money ivho.se weapon is of a deadly hue, and the free use of the pen against the official robber of reputation, whose weapon is the pen. I have DO money, arid but little property-of any kind that ivm ^ command money—-and, therefore, ■ have no occasion to guard against the highway robber the little store of wealth ofwhkh I aia‘ master consists of an untasnished reputation, with some testimonials of applause generously and spontaneously bestowed on me, hy tfonaland some of the State Legislatures, of which Georgia is one; and hy which she and they have secured my lasting gratitude, aad strengtherihd the ties of friendly feeling and brotherly onion between us. 'jCnis little store is highly valued by me. It is my own—my all. it will be held intrust by me, for my chff- dren and my country; and it is therefore my right and bounden duty to preserve and defend ft! It would be criminal in me to neglect it I No earthly law can impair the higher law of self-defence and selfpreservatioa. My letters of the Hth, 16th,, and 22d June, and those of t i e 1st and 10th July, have con vinced my friends, whose good opinion I value .most highly of my uniform and earnest desire to abstain from collision with you; and, in my an swer to yours ofthe 17th July, it is kqown that your su^estion of the haste in which you wrote, induced me to decline a reply for a week; and until your letter made its appearance, a»usual, in a newspapn*', doubtless by your permission. If, in mine of the 28tb July, of which you com*, plain to the President, or ip my last, of the 16th of this month, it shonld appear that nature ot a defective education, should have implanted in me a little spice of that knight errantry for whfeh your Excellency is so much renowned, and that I should thereby have been tempted to a lance'mith you in something like your own style, I cannot but hcq>e that my iault, in this case, in following your example, and quoting your own expressions, (the only fault with which I can pQ/|siblf be charged) will be paBdnned by the I Tresident and people of the United States, of ,whose wisdom, and justice, and ms^animity, I have had the most undoubted proofr.

The Richmond Enquirer asserts that the. ! question o fthe interferenca of the Gnneroi Go vernment with the negro slavery of the South, ‘is \ presseffiday after day, in the Northern prints with increasing zeal and violence.” Not morn than two or three Northern prints ever meddle with the subject; and that but rarely and min- cingly. Such is the foundation for so broad an assertion ! The same paper adds— \ The day cannot be distant, when if the-ar- guraent on this subject has not ‘^been exhaust-' edf it must be taken up again and urged with the solemnity of a last appeal to right, and to- the love of Union.” Menaces of this kind, empty and ridiculous as they are ia'th.emselves, have become tire some. It is perfectly well known that the sou thern states are the least aide and would be the least inclmed to meet the extremities to which they referi The southern prints agitate? the question of negro slavery more than th«i northern; in pursuance of schemes of party-po litics and not from any real provocation given in the north. They mislead, and disturb the southern public by statements wholly false, or enormously exaggerated, it wilt h§ on tick heads that the blame must rest, if apy part of the evils which they affect id ^ e a d should bh experienced.— Jsat.
