When he arrived at Washington, Ken. he would have been detained for a public dinner, but as he had not seen his family, a meeting of the people was held, and the following address presented to him, prefaced by some appropriate remarks by Mr. Beatty: Washington, May 24, 1825. To the hon. HENRY CLAY: SIR: The distinguished confidence which the people of Kentucky have uniformly reposed in your integrity, and devotion to the interests of the union from the moment of your first entrance into public life, would, on an ordinary occasion, have rendered it unnecessary for us, as the organs of the citizens of Washington, and its vicinity, to have tendered to you any evidence of their undiminished esteem and regard, or of their unlimited confidence in your integrity, talents and devotion to the best interests of the country: But the extraordinary and unparalleled manner in which you have been assailed, because, in the exercise of the constitutional duty which devolved upon you as one of the representatives of Kentucky, you dared independently to be governed by your own judg ment, in selecting from the candidates returned to the house of representatives the most suitable person to fill the high and dignified office of president of the United States, demands, in the opinion of the inhabitants of this town and its vicinity, the expression of the high sense they entertain of your public services, and their undiminished confidence in your The dinner at Frankfort seems to have been a splendid one, and the assembly was very numerous and respectable. Among the toasts given, was the following: Henry Clay-In giving him to the nation, Kentucky rejoices that she does not resign her claims on one who has so long, so faithfully, so satisfactorily, served her, and who, in devoting to the advancement of liberal principles, his splendid genius, has shed a lustre on her name. When the applause had subsided, Mr. Clay rose and thanked the company and his fellow-citizens of Kentucky, generally, for the confidence which they reposed in him, &c. His toast was-"The capitol: May it be rebuilt on its former site, by the only means compatible with the justice, with the honor and the dignity of the state." The president and ex-presidents of the United States were warmly remembered, and the memory of Washington, with the healths of Lafayette, Jackson, and Bolivar, were drank with acclamations. Some of the volunteers were very good, and others peculiariy adapted to the occasion: such as By judge Told-Independence, inflexible integrity and splendid talents-Whenever they are assailed, it is generally by ignorance or ambition, or some unworthy motive.

With pride and pleasure they have ever found you the faithful representative of Kentucky; the open, candid, liberal statesman, unfettered by local prejudice or sectional feeling-and, so far from their confidence having been diminished by the attempts which have been made to impeach your integrity, they consider your conduct in the late presidential election as affording a new and distinguished proof, that the confidence Kentucky has always reposed in your firm ness, talents and integrity, has not been misplaced. Permit us individually to assure you of our hearty concurrence in the sentiments we have expressed on behalf of our fellow-citizens, and to join with them in tendering you our best wishes for your health and happiness.

GENTLEMEN: I receive, with very great satisfaction, the kind congratulations of my fellow-citizas of this town, and neighborhood, communicated in your friendly address. If the recent attack upon me was without precedent and without principle, I have derived the greatest consolation from the generous support which I have received from all quarters. That of which you have been the organ, is the more acceptable, because it is rendered by citizens of my own state, many of whom have known me well and for a long series of years. You have stated the cause correctly, gentlemen; it was because I "dared independently to be governed by my own judgment," that some, who happened to think differently from me, have chosen to assail me with the most persevering malignity. They have furnished, however, an occasion for an exhibition of magnanimous sympathy and prompt justice, as creditable to the American people, as it is honorable and cheering to the grateful object of those noble sentiments. I pray you, gentlemen, respectively, to accept as surances of the high esteem and strong personal regard of Your faithful and obedient servant, H. CLAY. Messrs. John Chambers, &c. The Lexington Dinner-[From the Reporter.] The following is the note of the managers of the dinner to Mr. Clay, to which is annexed his reply. Lexington, May 28th, 1825. DEAR SIR: The undersigned, a committee on the part of the citizens of Lexington and Fayette county, are authorized to invite you to a public dinner, on Wednesday next, at Fowler's garden. It affords us peculiar pleasure, at this time, to offer you this public expression of our entire confidence in the able and impartial manner you have discharged your various publio duties. You became our representative at an important and critical juncture of our country; during the whole time, you have been the inflexible advocate of rational liberty, and the steady supporter of public justice.

With respect to his acceptance of secretary of state, he remarked, that all his friends, particularly his western friends, were of opinion that he ought not to decline it. Their pressing solicitude on the subject had great weight with him; it could not, indeed, under the circumstances in which he was placed, be disregarded. In accepting the appointment, therefore, he had yielded to a sense of duty, and the strong desire of the west to have a representative in the cabinet. He adverted to the harmony which prevailed between the president and all the members of the administration, their desire to promote alike the interests of every section of the union, and to administer the govern ment on fair and liberal republican principles. He was repeatedly cheered with great warmth; but the feeling manner in which he concluded his address, produced profound silence for some minutes, and excited the deepest sympathy in the hearts of all present. Loud and enthusiastic applause followed the annunciation of the succeeding toast.] derstood or misrepresented. Let demagogues listen.

I have never sought it by any mean compromises or unworthy arts. But I have desired the good opinion of no portion of the public more anxiously than that of my immediate constituents. Judge, then, gentlemen, what inexpressible gratification I derive from your assurances of the entire confidence which is reposed in me by my fellow citizens of Lexington and Fayette, who comprise, at the same time, my nearest and most intimate friends and neighbors, and a highly and respectable and considerable part of my constituents.

It will be recollected, that this stock amounted, in 1797, to eighteen millions and a half, at 5 per cent. interest; in 1802, sixteen millions were paid off, or rather exchanged for other descriptions of stock; subsequently, further arrangements were made, leaving about 600,000 pounds to be paid off now, or exchanged for consols, as we have before stated.

The trade of the united kingdom, with Turkey and Egypt, is rapidly increasing in importance. In 1822, the value, declared at the custom house, of goods exported, was 972,447.; in 1823, 1,274,2371.; in 1824, 1,397,5091.

The paddles fold up like a lady's fan, and with great facility. The twelve common law judges of England, have decided unanimously that a grandson, through a daughter, does not come within the description, "male lineal descent."

Great efforts are making in France to cultivate a good understanding with the pacha of Egypt, and a large monied capital has been subscribed to carry on an extensive trade with that country. Within the last 30 years, France has coined in gold and silver, to the value of 2,447,924,164 francs, or about 98 million pounds sterling.

In the house of representatives, on the 6th inst. Mr. Lumpkin, from the select committee, to whom was referred so much of the communication of the governor, as relates to the improper interference of the United States government, with our domestic affairs, presented the following report and resolutions: "The committee to whom was referred so much of the governor's message as relates to the disposition which has so often latterly unhappily evinced itself in the different branches of the general government to control the domestic affairs, and to entermeddle with and to endanger the peace, the repose and union of the southern states, after deliberating on this subject with the deepest feelings of sorrow and regret, have to proclaim, that the hour is come, or is rapidly approaching, when the states, from Virginia to Georgia, from Missouri to Louisiana, must confederate, and, as one man, say to the union-We will no longer submit our retained rights to the snivelling insinuations of bad men on the floor of congress-our constitutional rights to the dark and strained constructions of designed men upon judicial benches; that we protest the doctrine and disclaim the priciple of unlimited submission to the general government. The great objects of the American union were as simple in practice as beautiful in theory; they were as easily understood as they were important; the relations with foreign nations were confined to the united government. The powers necessary to the protection of the confederated states, from enemies without and from enemies within, alone were given.

The entire force collected by the royal general, Olaneta, in Upper Peru, has been killed or captured, except the general himself and one aid-de-camp. The gallant Sucre was again the victor-he is the right arm of his noble, generous and brave chief, Bolivar. It is now believed that general Rodil, the Spaniard who yet held the fortress of Callao, would give up and retire on board of the French squadron-leaving the garrison, which he has betrayed into acts that might justify very severe measures against them, to their fate. His escape, however, would not be easy he was blockaded by fourteen vessels, and the French, of whom Bolivar is rightfully jealous, were prohibited from having any intercourse with him. Guatimala. The intelligence from Guatimala are to the latter end of March, at which time the political affairs of this new republic were in a prosperous train, every thing quiet. When, from 1770 to 1776, the government of Britain was levying a war of restriction upon Boston and the north, no narrow feeling, no unworthy suspicions, no sectional jealousies were harbored in the bosoms of the men of the south, but, with one voice, and with simultaneous impulse, from Virginia to Georgia, they united their fate with their colonial brethren. When, from 1801 to 1911, the mighty powers of France and bined to drive from the seas of the world the ships and the commerce of the northern states, the men of the south did not meanly stoop to calculate the cost, but, resolving that the wrongs of a part were the wrongs of the whole American family, proclaimed defiance to both, and conquered, and won, on the mountain wave, and in the marshes of the west, the freedom of the trade of the world. These are the feelings we brought into the confederacy: with these we shall leave it, if unprincipled men prosper in the unholy work of demolishing the noble, the august, the splendid fabric of our union. The states of the south will convey the products of a fertile soil and genial clime to the markets of the world. The world will open wide its arms to receive them.
