PRESIDENTIAL.—The whole number of Electors is 261—necessary for a choice, 131. The friends of Mr. Adams consider him secure of the 51 votes given in New-England, 25 in New-York, 1 in Delaware and 3 in Maryland—making in all, 80. Gen. Jackson will receive the votes of Pennsylvania, New-Jersey, South-Carolina, Tennessee and 7 in Maryland; amounting in all, to 65—if to these be added the votes of North-Carolina, which he will probably obtain, his whole number will be 90. Mr. Crawford will receive the votes of Virginia and Georgia; 4 in New-York, 2 in Delaware and 1 in Maryland—making 40 in all. If he, instead of Jackson, should be supported by North-Carolina, his number will be increased to 55. Mr. Clay will probably receive the votes of Kentucky, Ohio, Louisiana and 7 in New-York—in all 42. The votes of Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama and Missouri, 19 in all, are uncertain. The friends of Mr. Clay claim them. Should he succeed in those states, his number of votes will be 61. The probability however is, that Adams and Jackson will each obtain a proportion of them.—

But judging from present appearances, we anticipate that Adams, Jackson and Clay will be presented to the House; and that the state of the votes as given by the College of Electors will be as follows :—

If this estimate be correct, Mr. Crawford, the caucus candidate, will not receive a sufficient number of votes to carry him into the House.

ADAMS,	80
JACKSON,	60
CLAY,	61
CRAWFORD,	40
	961
