“ Not for himself, but for his country.”
MONDAY Mar 17, 1824.

3 ht will be seen by this week’s psper that we
bave disposed of our Upseated Land advertise-
ments This, no doubt, will be very acceptable
information to many of our subscribers. We
shall endeavor to make up for the time and
space we were obliged to occupy in the publi-
cation of them, by crowding into the Patriot as
much information, both foreign and domestic,
as we conveniently can. We must, however,
reserve a corner lor the SHERIFF'S. And al
though there seems to be a pretly good num-
ber about to % enter the list” yet we think they
will not require so much room as the Treas:
urers Sales. We intend giving them all a fair
start, but who will prove himself the ¢Eclipse”
is left for time alone to determine. It 15 to
be hoped that those who « enter themselves”
will ncither get slame’ nor ¢* fly the course”
during the race.
Feel § Wr
We have commenced publishing some of the
more important laws enacted by the legisia-
ture of this state during the last session. Ia
the last page of this week's paper will be found
the law entitled © An act to provide more ef-
fectually for the education of the poor gratis, &
for laying the foundation for a general system
of education throughout this Commonwealth.”
We would recommend it to those who may feel
themselves interested in this law, particularly
schoolmusters, to preserve this paper.
tl § Qos
From the best information we can obtain
from different parts of the United States, little
doubt remains of the election of General Jack-
son to the Presidency and John C. Calhoun to
the Vice Presidency. Old Hickory’s move-
ments towards the Presidential Chair are al-
most as rapid as those he made against the
enemies of our country during the last war.
« Fortune favors the brave.”

The Tariff Bill was taken up by the Senate
of the United States on the 28th ult. After un-
dergoing some amendments of a trivial nature,
a motion was made to strike out the duty on
Iron, which was carried by a vote of 24 to 23
Apprehensions are entertained by the friends of
the Bill of its final failure in the Senate.

At the request of one of our readers we have
inserted the following poetical effusions of his
pericranium. We cannot recommend it to our
readers as any of the best of poetry, but the sub-
ject upon which it treats being somewhat in-
teresting at the present time, has induced us to
give this newly manufactured song a place in
our paper :
FOR THE PATRIOT.
A NEW SONG,
Zunes Hail to the Chief.
Hail to oLp HICKORY, the pride of the nation,
Honor’d aud loy’d by the whigs of the land,
VWho will place Aim in the President’s station,
With Joux C. Carnoun, that true honest map ?
Gods ! how he’ll turn about,
Turning the old laven out,
And making them walk to that shameful old
tune ;
Come then join in the throng
And let this be your song,
Huzza for Old Hickory & John C. Calhoun !
Sons of old Penn, you were first of the nation,
In bringing this Chieftain to public view,
With John C. Calhoun, you’ve taken a firm sta-
tion,
A Patriot try’d and found firm and true.
Pov’t fear the Crawford cor’s,
With negro’s blood through their por’s,
Nor be deceiv’d by their whining tune 3
Let them do their dirty best,
You stick firm to the zes?,
And Huzza for Old Hickory & John C. Calhoun
Hail to this CurerTaIN, whom we can rely on,
In peace or in war he’ll take a firm stand,
With John C. Calhoun, that noble statesman,
The pride of his country, the joy of the land,
Let then your voices raise,
Every man sound their praise,
With exclamations as high as the moon ;
Take then anoble stand,
And let every man
Huzza for Old Hickory & John C. Calhoun.

SER.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The British Packet Frolic, lieutenant Barron,
arrived at this port yesterday, im 30 days from
Falmouth, with despatches for the British
charge des affairs at Washington. The des-
patches were immediately forwarded by a spe
cial messenger. The presumption is, that
these despatches relate to the late negotiations
between the two governments, on the subject of
the slave trade. The Frolic, having been em-
ployed as a despatch vessel, did not hring the
mail, which we understand was to be forwarded
by the eclipse packet, to leave Falmouth on the
regular day. London papers, however, to the
evening of the Ist of April, have been received.

Mr. Peel has announced in the house of com-
moos, that the manuscript of Milton, recently
discovered, the nature of which is to furnish
proofs of the truth of the christian religion, was
about to be published under the auspices of the
king. : :
_ The slave-trade piracy bill was read a third
time in the house of commons on the 25th of
Mareh, and sent to the lords. Sir J. Mackin-
tosh expressed his entire concurrence in the
billy and hailed the auspicious treaty, entered
into with America, with the most heartfelt satis-
taction. Si
Another loar. bad rather unexpectedly 2p-
peared in the London market, of two >
and a baif sterling, for the service of the ancient
kingdem of Guatimala, or the united provinces
of Central America.
The Paris dates are to the 30th of March, and
Madrid to the 18th. It was rumoured that a
consultation of foreign ambassadors had been!
beld in Madrid, on the subject of establishing a
constitutional government. It was reported that
count Bourmont, the French commander in
chief, bad been asked whether he would be able
to support the plans proposed ; to which he re-
plied, that considering the spirit that predomi-
nated in the provinces, the forces under his com:
mand were insufficient ; and that he should re.
quire reinforcergents to the amount of 50 or
60,000 men to maintain order and tranquillity ;
to which it was added, that he should have
whatever force he desired. Something extraor-
dinary was expected to take place, and it ap-
pears certain that there had been a discussion
an the establishment of a government which was
not to the taste of the absolute party of the
monks. There were reports in circulation of
much dissatisfaction in several provinces, which
was chiefly ascribed to the violent conduct of
the royal volunteers. One account from: Mad.
rid states that an order has at length been pub-
lished, granting a general pardon to all the mili-
tary of the constitutional armies, with an excep-
tion that none of them are to reside at Madrid,
nor to inhabit the royal palaces. A civil am-
nesty was said to be under consideration.
Don Juan Martin, better known as the Em-
pecinado, has been murdered at Roa by a band
of ultras, in consequence of the refusal of the
ministers to put him upon his trial.
The Spaniards taken by the Algerines have
been given up, and were landed at Carthagena
by the frigate Hermoine, 44. The London pa-
pers give a report that this frigate had an action
with the Naiad, 38, one of the blockading squad-
ron off Algiers,and received a ¢ good drubbing.’
The Hermoine, it is said, was brought into ac-
tion in consequence of the captain not thinking
it necessary to hoist his colors as he passed the
blockading squadron. She suffered severely in
the loss of men, but was permitted to proceed as
soon as she acknowledged the country to which
she belonged, No interruption to the good un-
derstanding between I'rance and England, was
expected from this occurrence.
The Rockfort, 80 gun ship, had arrived in
England from the Mediterranean, with informa.
tion that the differences with Algiers were ami-
cably settled.
M. LAREVEILLERE LEPAUX, quondam mem-
ber of the national convention, director and
founder of the sect of theophilanthropists, died
in Paris March 28, aged 70.
It is said that the emperors of Russia & Aus.
tria have determined to effect a considerable
reduction of their armies.
All the Greeks who were in prison at Saloni-
cha have been released. They had made some
landing in Cassandra, but re-embarked without
any operation of consequence. They had tand-
ed supplies of arms at various points of Thes-
saly, In Macedonia all was tranquil.
It was stated that Coron surrendered to the
Greeks on the 18th of February. They bad al-
so succeeded in taking the outworks of Lepan-
to, on which occasion the English officers of
engineers, who were gone to the assistance of
the Greeks, particularly distinguished them-
selves. Lord Byron had returned from Trip
polizza to Missolonghi, and had been every
where received with great honor.
At Constantinople, February 24, extensive
preparations were going on for the campaign
against the Greeks. No progress had been
made in the negotiations with the new Russian
minister, and 1t is said a Turkish army was as-
sembling at Sophia to act agaist that power.
¥ Loxpon, April 1.
Owing to the information received this morn-
ing, that Ferdinand is determined not to sanc-
tion the old Spanish loan ; the Spanish bonds are
gradually sinking. They opened at 19 1.2 3-4,
and are gone down one per centum.
In the foreign market little bas been doing.

surance company, under the title of the ¢« Brit-
ish Assurance Company,” at the head of which
are inany of the principal bankers and merchants
in London, has been announced as forming.
Its objects are very extensive, and much anxie-
ty is expressed for the plan, which will shortly
be made public. :
Extract of a letter from Odessa, March |.
A ship which has arrived at Constantinople,
after an extremely short passage of only forty
hours, brings the important, and, for the Porte,
most alarming intelligence, that Mohamed Ali
Pacha, viceroy of Egypt, has at length thrown
aside the mesk and declared himself indepen-
dent. It waslong ago known in Constantinople
that he meditated great things, and the Porte
therefore tried every means to weaken him, and
ordered him to furnish 10,000 men to combat
the Greeks. Mohamed rescived, instead of
