In this morning’s paper will be found the letter of Mr. Secretary Forsyth, to which we infite the careful investigation of our readers, and f.ve are tee more desirous fur their scrutiny, as we ;hail in a few days piesent to their consideration a review of this document, and unless we arc gieitiy de ceived in the good sense of the people of Georgia, wo will turn this dibit of the “place man ” to some good account. While on the subject of this letter, we cannot forego the opportunity to ask c; Corporal Mura,” why he withheld the letter of Lye Pope which was appended to this circular, by tl | Sccn tary, and which he desired should be regarded as a part of his communication ? Was it be Jr use he feared to insult the Catholics of this country, by the effort of Mr. Forsyth,to drag into the yU.itical contests of this country the head of the r*ancient church ? ; Reaction In Georgia. ; It will co doubt astonish the good citizens of Georgia to learn that a tremendous reaction is go ing on among them, in faverof the LocofoUo party. Strange as this may be, the Locofoco lettel writers £ arc busily engaged in communicating this import ant intelligence to the Northern Locofocur, for the purpose of effecting the elections there, j The friends of Reform at the North a: d Fast, need not be alarmed at this intelligence! there is about as ranch truth in it. as there was in*;he moon hoax. We in Georgia car not find out in {‘ hat sec tion this reaction is going on ; we aie,|however, advised of continued accessions to thej People’s candidate, and we arc a- caiTident of oorgia as w« are of Kentucky. | Troup County i’rect.

Two Jays later fron England. The transient ship A lex antler, Captain Copie. arrived this morning, from Liverpool, banging Liverpool papers to tiie Gth August- The intelligence from London is !wc Jars later. In the interim the Overland Mail had arrived tr®in India with advices from Bombay to the 23d of ; June. The Russian* had not obtained possession | of Khiva, and the British envoy in that country : had left for St. Petersburg on a mediatory miss ion. Tiie state ot affairs in Afghanistan was I rather unsalisfa; tory, Schah Sooja was closely pressed, and it was feared coula not tnaiatain i himselfon the throne of Cubul without British j assistance. j The Lord William Bcnttck, from London, and I the Lord Castlereagh, from Karrack, both with trooos on board, wetc wrecked off Bombay llar j bor, on the 17ih June. 28 of the and officers of j the former, 7 passengers out ol 11 , and 65 soldiers j were lost, and only 70 of the 200 persons were on board the Lord Casllereagh had been saved. The Circassians had obtained another victory over the Russian troops. The French embassy had left Ispahan on its way back to France having failed in the principal object of its mission— namely, the establishment of consuls in different parts of Persia, and ihe conclusion ct & com mercial treaty. The insurrection in Syria was at an end. A despatch from the Governor of Beyroot, dated the 12th ult. informed ‘.be viceroy of this fortunate event. The Druses and other insurgents had sent hostages to Damascus in return to propositions made by Mehemet All, granting them important concessions. Ihe Egyptian fleet had left Beyroot. and the Pasha’s forces were expected soon to return to Alexandria. | The King of Naples had published a decree, | announcing the conclusion of ail difficulties with England, in relation to the sulphur question. France.— Tne London Times of the 6th ot August says: “The latest information which has reached us ■ from the most trustworthy quarters in Pans, is | of a nature to strengthen our hope* of an arnica , hie arrangement of the affairs of the cast. The 1 orders which ha'C been transmitted to the French fleet, are understood to be by no means of an ; aggressive character. The army though consi i durable increased, will not be put on the full war establishment, and the government seem thor : oughly disposed to show as much discretion as j energy. Tne solution of of the question lies no longer in Paris or Loudon; and the parties on cither j side must be content to wait, though certainly \ not without great anxiety, the arrival of intelii- 1 | geuce from Alexandria. The nature of M.de j i Walewski’s mission to the Pacha hud not trans j pired, but the selection of that individual for *0 . j important a service has, excited the more atten tion from his natural hostility to and in j choosing a Polish agent, however illustrious hie origin in other respects, M. Thiers is thought to have given an additional proof of his anti Rus sian determinations. The decision of the Pacha will of course be influenced if not determined, by the hopes he may entertain of having France on : his side. But, whatever may be the policy 7 of ■ Fiance in the event of a settlement of the ques | lion by force, we may presume that she will not i j support or encourage the claims of the vassal, ! which she has herself proposed to circumscribe and control, against the rights of the Porte, which 1 she has pledged herself to maintain.” ■ It is pretty obvious that the strong Iceiing ’ | which suddenly pervaded the French communi | ty, impelling with equal vehemence the populace ; the pacific middle classes, and the highest ranks, | forced upon the king and the government the j adoption of a hold attitude towards England, j *So far compliance with the hasty impulse of the ( people was perhaps essentia! to the security of ' the throne, but it is no less essential to France and to every other country, that weapons of such weight and edge should be handled with very great caution. While the affair thus remains in abeyance, how ever, France appears to be vigorously preparing j for war. The London Times of the sth contains the following: The papers before us, and cur private letters j acquaint us, in audition, and as necessary accom { paniments, camp furniture and hospital maga j zines on a most extensive scale, had been order ■ ed. The Minister of War announced, on Satur- j ■ day, to the Committee of Artillery, that a sum j of 6.000,000 f. (240,000/) was employed in the purchase of horses and materia! for that depart ment. “ Already in the course of the dav,” says La Presse, saddlery to the amount of 1,700,0001. (£68,000) was ordered. General (not the Marshal) Gudinot is mention ed as destined to have an important command, j arising out of existing circumstances. In the ' navy, very extensive promotions and nominations and, it is aiso added, superunuatiens are irnmedi dlately to take place. All the offensive statements of the most ran -1 corous portion of the French props (we mean I 1 the legilimatist journals) arc copied into the min isterial and Justc-miheu papers. They recapit- J ulate the naval force of France already at sea in the Medeierranean (13 sail of the line, of which ' 3 are first rates, and may bo forthwith increased ! to 25 sail of the line.) and contend that by divi j ding the superbly disciplined crews of that fleet, “which the English themselves confess are the finest in the world,” with the new levies, they will form a perfectly efficient and adequate body j of seamen. j The rancor and animosity of the Paris press | are, however, benevolence and amity when com ! pared with the feelings expressed by the provin- j cial papers. Those of Bordeaux are in an espe- > i cia! manner distinguished by this course. The utmost possible anxielv prevailed in Paris , for the arrivals from London, Berlin, Vienna, and j i St. Pelersburgh with intelligence of the manner | ■ in which the new attitude of France should have been received in those capitals respectively. This j feeling added to the carrying out of the hostile preparatory system of M Thiers above referred to, produced at Torliui’s, on Sunday, a new fall in the funds. The three per cents opened at 8 If. 60c. fell to SOf. 80c. when our correspondent clo sed his letter. A private letter, dated Vienna, July 22J, in the •• Universal Gazette de Leipsic," states that it was j believed in the best informed circles that a se : crct treaty existed between Mehemet Ah and France. “ The fact likewise of an understanding I between Marshal Marmont and M. Thiers is con firmed.” says that paper, and it is understood that j the marshal is to be appointed governor of Alge | ria.” | From the Albany (N.

In my own judgment, : the detention is of no importance except so myself, a- I cannot presume that my presence or absence will in the slightest degree affect the opinions and actions of any Oi the person* who may compose t iat assem'dage. I regretit,nevertheless, as lam i deprived of an opportunity to meet valued friends and am unable to do that whuh others for whom j I enter ain a strong affection, and whose pru dence ar.d good sense gi .e weight to their recorn j meodations, have thought would be useful in the present agitated state of our country.

W ilf n the spirit of enquiry is awakened, the people a.e not to be turned from the pursuit oi tacts by pro cessions and parades, by travelling orators and bal lad singers, by fiddlings and revelries! A easeful j ■ investigation of those facts, and calm reflection upon thorr. : t homo, give to the humblest citizen i the power to decide wisely in whose hands the Chief Magistracy of the nation can be sulcly eu- j trusted for the preservation of external peace, and ■ a perpetuation of those domestic institutions with j ’ which are inseparably connected the harmony ot I the Union, and piosperitv,national and individual. ! These will be used, and being used, the result | will be right. If it were necessary or proper, I could bear my humble testimony to the fidelity with which the declared opinions of the present j incumbent have been acted upon. Necessary it is not. Trice the chief ground of objection to bi n i is. th it he has performed I*is engagements, and “followed in the footsteps of his predecessor.”— j Proper it will not be considered, as I have been in timately asso.ustcd with his administration, and identified in feeling and judgment h ifn the great measures of Us fiscal and foreign p iicy, and would be looked upon as a vo uniter and interested wit ness- Instead,therefore, of speaking what Iki ow i and believe to be just of Mr. Van Buren and of Gen. ; Harrison, I will the right of every member ot j ; the community, to refer to things of common noto riety, which will aid my fellow-citizens in Geor- j gia in discovering to which of these persons they ■ may safely confide tin? Executive power, a? it may ! influence or control the groat questions— Os a protective tariff; Os internal improvements; Os appropriation and expenditure ; Os the mode of keeping and disbursing tbe • public funds : _ Os slavery, as it exists fiom the northern con ! fines of Maryland to tire Sabine and Red Rivers. | (Questions of foreign jolicy are omitted, for, strange to say, they are not topics in the Prtsiden ' tial canvass, and on that subject the advoca es wf ; universal Reform intend to make no change.) On these questions the opinions of Mr. Van Bo ren and General Harrison have been in various forms and at different periods asked for. What their answers we:e, at what time and in what i manner gi\en, are well known facts. Aly feliow j citizens can readily d cide with the>e facts in j view, whi: h of these gentlemen agrees a ith them :on the*e important and vita! su jects. By com , paring the explicit, frank, prompt, public, and uni ; form communications of Mr. \ an Buren. given with ; like readiness to friend or f >e, with the- reluctant, | equivocal, and not inmcquent y contradictory giv ings out ol Gen. HairUon —sometimes by rcT'er ' ence to former declarations, sometimes by letters ; from friends and friendly committees ; again by I speeches at arranged meetings,and then by private letters for use but not publication —they can, w ith : out difficulty, determine which of them deserves their confidence. Should any doubt remain, alter this comparison, there aie two other facts not un worthy to be remembered in forming a correct j . judgment: Mr. Van 13uren has imputed to him by j | his advocates every where, the same opinions and 1 same principles ; the opinions and principles im puted to Gen. Harrison by his friends and suppor i ters aie variant and contrasted —ch.imtlioii-like, they lake their hues from tuc objects upon which j they rest w hile you are called upon to examine j them, and show a color to suit the region where ■ they are presented to view. Should the belief be entertained that the dcclar | aliens of the parties themselves, or those of friends anxious to promote then success, are not safe guides the motive to concealment, equivocation, or »le- t ception being so powerful, try the parties by the | experiment am cruris In various stations each has been before the pub lic for inoie taan thirty \ ears. Compare then pro fessions with their acts, and then the results of each comparison. If still nut salisned, there are other broad fact* that cannot fail to bring convic tion to the honestly inquiring mina. A belter judgement of the probable conduct of an adminis - tration in this country is to be formed by looking at the parties by whom its chief is brought for ward, and by whom he will be supported if they succeed, than by a scrutiny into the particular opine ns and political course of the person who is proposed for that station. Mr. Van Buren is the candidate of that party in a li. the States, who, under the lead of Gen. Jackson,arrested the gigan tic and mad scheme ol universal internal improve ment —who wrested the public money from the hands of irresponsible and doubtful corporations, and broke their power —who seek to reduce duties and taxes to the wants of the Government—and who believe that these warns admit of diminutions of the public expenditure ; of a party every wheie arrayed against Abolition, arid ready, at ail hazards and at all times, to see (hat the constitutional guaranty of Southern property is fairly and faith fully maintained. He is equally acccptah.e to that party in the Southern, Western, Eastern, and Mid die States —lias been f reed upon neither by com binations or irrigucs. General i lari Ron is ihe candidate of ail ti.e par ties in the I nited States who can be brought to act against the present Administration by tiie common ; instinct of hatred, tie was forced upon the sjuth -1 em portion cf these parties by the combination of Anti-masonry and Abolitionism. Not one Soulh | era vote was given to him in the Hanisburg Con vention. Among lus suppoi ters are ranked the high tariff and internal improvement men, under the banners of .Mr. Clay ; the high-toned politician of i the New Eng and states —who ccnstiue the Con stitution like the common law, which, contracted I as it may seem, expands indefinitely accoiding to he supposed exigency of the times—who believe I there i> no surety or prosperity without the agency ' ol a National bank to manage the fiscal concerns of the Government, and furnish a currency for the people —who opposed the late w ar, and established according to opinions expressed in the Biilish par liament, a sort of understood neutrality with the enemy during its continuance —who acknowledge as their leader and s'andard-bearcr, Mr. Webster, of boston; the Abolitionist*, ol all color*, under Slade of Vermont, Sew a. d and B radish.

On this there tan be no parley for it admits of no compromise. Those who agitate it. do evil, what | ever be their pretences or their motives. Those who a-wociate, combine, and net with those agita tes, must look to have tV linger of suspicion pointed at them. No Southern man,who will read dispassionately the address to the people of the slaveholding States, and tin accompanying evi dence, from the Dc-mecialic members cf Congress from those States, can have any excuse for mistak ing lus duty when he acts on tins question. To the imbodied evidence presented of the movements within the United States of the disturbers of South- , era repose, max be usefully a.iff d a refcrrcnce to I what is going on abroad. The Government of Great Britain, which lias always permitted the ; c'anadr.s to Lc the asylum of runaway slaves, has, within a few years converted all its West India possession* into places of refuge for them, and has formally decla:ed that no claim for them will be availing, although they reach their possessions by ; fraud or violence. The same Government has j been lately employing irscit as the volunteer cr ' selected agent of the Pope in presenting an apos i tolic letter on slavery to some of the Spanish j ; American States —a letter which it is not at all ( improbable was piepared under influences procetd i ing from the British Lies. j Under its convention with Spain respecting the j slave trade, it has commissioners in Havana scru j tiuizing into the oommeicial pursuits of nil nations, ! and marking all vessels, not British, bound to the i coast of Africa, as suspected of the slave trade, when loaded with cargoes which are lawful com- : i me ice in English vessels from Sierra Leone to any ' I rls of the slave coast from whence the slave far- j ; tories arc supplied with them, it has black iegi- i ments m its service in the Canadas and in tnc 1 West Indies. It is filling up the ranks of its | army by the enlistment of recaptured Africans. — ' Some of the statesmen and pamphleteers of Eng land are engaged, since the emancipation in the \\e-t Indies has diminished the productive value of their West India islands, in devising schemes to give a present preference in their markets to ; the productions of free labor, (like that in Bii- j ! tisb India') and gradually to exclude horn ■ i them ihe products of the labor of slaves. Os the j I temper and intentions of the agitators of the ques- , j lion of slavery, and the means to be employed, abundant evidences are afforded in the proceed- ' j ings of the “ World’s Convention.” which met in I j Lo; don on the 12th, and confirmed until the 23d | of last .Tune. Two resolutions w ere unanimously ! adopted, too significant to require much comment. Those resolutions denounce the removal of slaves from the old to the new States as an unrighteous t.aflic, of which eighty thousand are annually victims; as exciting detestation. Surprise ar.d abhorrence are acknowledged, that it should be protected and cherished by this Government. That it involves hardness of heart in the traders, and crnelly to the negroes, is asserted ; and that ef fectual means shotnd be immediately taken to re move this stain from the character cf this nation. Was there ever such a compound of ignorance, fol ly, and insolence ? The brutal O’Connell was quite at home in such a convention : and his insults to the representatives of a foreign government near his own, his vitupeiation of two of our eminent public men, were quite in harmony with the occa sion. The transportation of our property from Virginia to Louisiana, the i Vernal slave trade, mark you, is “ unrighteous,” and effectual means! ought to be taken in the United States forthwith to | remove the stain from the nation. What are these i means ? We can gue r s. First, prohibition by Con- I gross of the transportation of slaves by land or by I sea from one State to another; next, a prohibition ! of the sale of slaves by one man to another in the • same State ; and then we shall be ripe for either I the late Mr. Rufus King’s or Gen. Harrison’s plan j of gradual emancipation ; the government purchase i of the blacks by the proceeds of the public lands, or I by the use of the surplus revenue—taxes and du ties being pioper’.v increased to make that surplus large enough to effectuate the object. The shadows of troubles in store for us, at home and abroad, are darkening and stealing upon us.— 1 What note cf preparation is heard ? What measures : of precaution are required ? The gravest thought and most sp.xLous deliberation arc demanded, to meet the dangers which will sooner or later come. What others may persuade themselves should be done, I cannot tel! ; but no step would >eora to . e better adapted lo bring them upon us at an ear'y | day, and when we shall be utterly deslitue of pro- ; ' paialion, than placing the power of the general I I government in the hands of the heterogeneous coa lition that now seek to obtain it in the person of 1 one without the requisite qualifications for the Chief j i .Magistrate of a great republic,and who is accused, • ■ with too much appearance of truth, of having in aj public address, engaged if elected, not to thwart | Congress by tbe use of the veto power. T he veto power .' a portion of the authority giv- , eu to the Executive by the wise framers of our go- j vernment, which the incumbent of the Presidential j chaii ran neither suirender nor trammel himself ' in the exercise of, without personal dishonor and treachery to the constitution. The veto power ? the safeguard of the people against improvident le gislation, or Congressional encroachment on the rights of the States and of the co-ordinate branches oi the government. The veto power ! the ark of safety for the Southern States; used for them, it is impossible, while the equality of a senatorial rep resentation remains, and the present relative pro portion of the slave Stales is preserved, for the phrenzy of fanaticism and the recklessness of asso ciated party profligacy to disturb cur repose, or assail our fire-sides, under the sanction of Congres sional enactments. Mr. Van Buren is pledged to use it for that pur pose—Gen. Harrison is not. JOHN FORSYTH. APPENDIX. State of the Vote at tjlf.

Since then, true charity toward? all nun men is every where strongly iilculcatcd by the evangelical law, and Christ our Lord lias declared, that whatever kindness or mercy is rendered or de nied to the weak or indigent, he will consider as rendered or denied unto himself, it is Hear that not only should Christians regard their Chris ti.rn ser vants in the light of brothers, but also that they should humble themselves bcfcie those who are worthy to be free; which, indeed, Gregory Nv s senus indicates to have been customary, at first, upon the occasion of the solemnities <>f Easter, i Nor were those wanting, who, animated by a moie i a; lent charity, delivered themselves into bends that • they might redeem others; of whom the Apostle . testifies that he knew many, as also our pre ieccs j sor Clement I. of m st holy memory. Therefore, ; in the progress of time, when tiie darkness of hea ; thenish superstitions was entirely dissipated, and ; the manners of uncivilized races had been mollified ! by the beneficent influence of that faith which I worketh through love, for successive ages, no I slaves existed araong many Christian nations. Yet, iruiy, we are grieved to say that afterwards, even among the number of the faithful, there were those who, shamefully blinded by the lust of sordid lucre, in scattered and remote lands reduced Indians, ne groes, and other unfortunate beings, into slavery: or, the traffic in those vrho had been made captive by others having been commenced and augmented, did not hesitate to encouiagc er piofit by such un worthy actions. Several of the Homan pontiffs, 1 cur predecessor#, did not, indeed, fail to reprehend severely, by virtue of their office, the course of tiicse as noxious to their own salvation, and op probrious to the Christian name ; from which they beheld a? a consequence the nations of the unfaith ' ful confirmed in their animosity to our true roll ; gion. To which things relate the apasto’ic lettt r of Paul 111., given on the 29th of May, 1 >37. under the ring of the Fisherman, to the Caiuinal Arch bi-hop of Toledo; and another, and ampler, of Urban VIII., given on the 22d cf Apiil, 1659, to i the Collector of the Laws of the Apostolic Chamber ; in Portugal ; in which letters they are gravely re j buked by name, who reduce into slavery Western I or Southern Indians, who buy, sell, exchange, or I give them away, separate them from their wives | and children , despoil them of their good-; or p >s>e<- I sions, carry or send them to other regions, or tn any manner deprive them cf their liberty, retain them, in set vitude , or render counsel, favor , or as sistance to thus? who are guilty of such acts , under any pretext or color whatever ; or presume to teach or preach the same to be lawful , »r in any manner co-operate therewith These decrees of Pontiffs to be ever hel! in re membrance. benedict XIV. subsequently confirmed and renewed, in a new apostolical letter to the pre lates of Brazil and cenain other regions, given uu the 20th December, 1741, in which he stimulated their vigilant solicitude throughout the hounds of their ecclesiastical districts. Before this, howev er, a more ancient of our predecessors, Pius IL, when, in his day, lire power of the Portuguese was extended to Guinea, the region of tbs ncgioes, gave a letter on the 7th October, 14G2.t0 the bish op about to proceed thi;her, in which he not only granted to this prelate all the faculties oppoitnue I for the exercise of the holy m nisliy with greater I fruit, bat. on the same occasion, gravely rebuked 17 ~ those Christians who carried away converts inio i j slavery. And also, in our own times, Pius VJL, | impelled by ti e same spirit of religion and eha.ity i I which animated liis predecessors, employed his in . fluencc assiduously with the powerful, that the | traffic in negroes might, at length, altogether cease, : among Christians. These decrees and efforts of I our predecessors did, indeed, avail not a little, by ! tiie grace of God. in protecting the Indians, and | others referred to, from the cruelty cf invaders, or the < upidity cf Christian merchant* ; not so much, however, that this hoi}- see can rejoice in the fu: 1 accomplishment of its desires; since the traffic in negroes, although diminished in seme parts, is ■ still practiced by many Christians. Wherefore, : we, desiring to avert so great a reproach from ail the borders of Chiistianity, and the whole matter, a council of some of our venerable brethren the Cardinals being called, having been duly weighed, walking in the footsteps of our predecessors, by our apostolical authority, admonish and conjure, \ earnestly in ti e I ord, the faithful of Christ, of eve- I ry condition, that hereafter they do not unjustly I mo'est Indians, negroes, or any other race of Men, j nor spoil them of their goods, nor reduce them into | . slavery, nor render countenance or assistance to i 1 those guilty of such practices; nor carry on that ! inhuman commerce by which negroes, as though j they were not men, but mere brutes, held in any j manner of servitude, without distinction, again t i the laws of justice ana humanity, arc bought, sold, j and devoted to cruel and sometimes Intolerable la i bor ; and, moreover, through the love of gain held j out to the first possessors of the negroes, uisscn -1 tions and perpetual wars fomented throughout toe regions which they inhabit. Verily, all these pra- - tices, as altogether unworthy of the ChiUtian name, we reprobate by cur apostolical authority.; and by the same authority we strictly prohibit and interdict any ecclesiastic or layman from defending the traffic in negroes as lawful, under any pretence whatever, and from presura ng to preach, or in any wise teat h, in public or private, any thing at va.i ance with the admonitions contained in tffis apos tolical letter. And in order that this letter may be more readi ly Known to all, and that no man may plead ignor- ! ance of it. we decree and order that, as is the usage, it be published, and copies of it reman affix ed on the doors of the church of the Prince of the Apostles, and of the Apostoli ad Chamber, and of tiie General Court in Monte Cetataiio, kc.,by cue of our messengers. Given at Rome, ir. the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, under the ring of the Fisherman, on the 3d day of December, 1839, of our pontificate the ninth year. ALOISIUS CARD, LAMBRUSCHINI.
