Selection of the Vltinmtam of llie
London Conference.
London, Saturday evening, Sept. 22.—Very
little excitement has been produced an tft>e money
market bv the confirmation ol the rumours re
specting tin? note of the King**! Holland, though
in fact, to the general apprehension, it makes the
alternative of a war all but inevitable. This is
airing, probably, to the very contracted s'ate of
.business and the almost total extinction ot specu
lative transactions in the funds- Had similar
circumstances occurred a year or two back,
they could not have failed to produce very ma
terial fluctuations. Consols left off at 84 |, and
Exchequer Bills at 16 to 17 premium.
From the Sun, Evening oj Sept. 22.
The expectations which were entertained by
the Conference of a speedy and satisfactory ar
rangement of jhe Belgian question are at an end.
On Thursday evening a sealed note, iroiiVthe
King of Holland to the Conference, wags given to
Lord Palmerston bv the Dutch Ambassador, Ba
ron Von Zgylcn; and last night the members of
the Conference having all assembled the note
wu openod and read by them. Instead of find
ing as they had expected, an acknowledgement
of the readiness of the King of Holland to treat
with the King of Belgium, on the recommenda
tions of the Conference, and an appointment of
Baron Vdtf with full powers to treat w ith
M. Van de Weyer, the Conference to their aston
iahment, and to the real indignation of some, as
well as the avowed indignation o.* all, found a
long note without the slightest allusion to the
proposals of negotiations between M. Van de
Weyer and Baron Van Znylen, or to the sug
gestions of the Conference.
The note commences by an expression ofsur
prise on the part of the writer, M. de Verstolk,
in the name of the King, his master at the delay
which has attended the Belgian question since
the conditions on which the King was willing to
treat had been made known to the Conference
and to the Belgians, and then proceeds, in lan
gunge which is intended to be courteous, but
which is-jjot to be misunderstood, to complain of
tho support given by the Conference to revolu
tionary principles, and to declare that, whatever
may lie the conduct of the great powers, the
King of Holland, relying on the justice of his
cause, and on the support of Divine Providence,
will know how to maintain his honour without
tho necessity-of conceding points which arc of
vital importance to his country.
The note is of great length, but we have given
its chief Character. It is evidently intended only
for farther delay ; and, unless France and Eng.
land should act a decisive and manly part, that
object will be gained. Let us hope, however,
that the two cabinets will see their interest and
unite in a resolution to compel the King of Hoi
land to conclude a treaty with Belgium, on
terms which, without being dishonorable to him,
shall be fair.and liberal towards his former sub
jects.
The position of Leopold is now one of great
difficulty, but, as regards his country <ir France,
it is better than it was a few days ago. By ta
king upon himself to accept the proposals ot the
Conference, contrary to the declared wishes ot
his Chambers, and to dismiss a ministry acting
iu accordance with those bodies, he has shown
his desire for peace, and has now a direct claim
for sup ►port on the British and French cabine’s.
The King of Holland has re jected all overtures
for peace, except on his own terms; and if Bel
gium be abandoned by us and France, after the
concessions offered by her King at the risk of
his own popularity with his people, the two gov
ernments will, be guilty not only of meanness,
but of great injustice; and the next to be expect,
ed will be a dictation to England and France, on
matters directly concerning their own honour
mid safety, by some petty state, acting as the
puppit of Russia, Austria, or Prussia.
From the London Times of Sept. 22.
We haw learned with regret not unmixed
with astonishment and indignation, that his
Dutch majesty has refused to treat on tho rea
sonable modifications of the treaty of Nov. 16,
which wc mentioned yesterday, and which were
lately transmitted to the Hague, by the Presi
dent of the Conference on the part of Belgium.
Hk Majesty’s answer is at once insulting and
evasive—insulting to the Conference, and eva
sivc of thwqucstiou at issue—declining to make
any new proposition of his own, and taking no
notice of *tlic propositions made on the other
side. v . f
The extraordinary answer was yesterday de
livered to 'the Conference, specially convened to
deliberate upon its nature and contents. Os
course, «t'cannot be imagined that a final decit
aion was adopted on such momentous a subjec.
in the absence of the Chief English Ministers-
The Conference is to meet again to-day, but ov
ary reasonable man must now see that all hope
of bringing his Dutch majesty to his senses by I
proctocu's and peaceful representations must lie
abandoned. He is evidently determined to come
arrangement without being compelled by
wneiMir foree. Hais evidently resolved to cm
ploy every subterfuge—to practice every strat
agetn to gain time. His mind seems to be made
up to take - -advantage of tlie chapter of acci
dents—and rather to hazard the chances of war,
to recover'the whole of his former dominions,
than agree to terms of accommodation, by
which he may enjoy a part of them in security
and peace.
The (Conference, which has hem so grosdy
insulted,, .cannot permit this insidious game to he
pursued any (forther. It is evidently the inter.
e«t of Austria and Prussia that Belgic affairs
should bo settled : end i f is no less the interest
k
tliun the doty of Franca and England to be
come the instruments of such a salutary work.
His Dutch Majesty can place his only reliance
on the infamous government of Russia; which,
desirous of embroiling Western Europe, that it
may perpetrate unmolested all its intended bar
barities in Poland, has no doubt encouraged his
Dutch Majesty in his present dangerous course.
The conference can no longer trifle with the
peace of Europe and the rights of Belgium. If
they hove appointed themselves umpires, they
must enforce their award. After inducing the
new King of Belgium to descend from the lofty
position which he occupied on a treaty ratified
by all the Courts, and become the public law of
Europe—uftep leading him to believe that the re
served points 6f difference between him and his
neighbours might be arranged by mutual
concessions—after thus extracting from him
some reasonable proposals of modifications in
the treaty —after making him thus break through
the assurance which lie had given his chambers,
that he would never negociate with an enemy
in his territory—they have exposed his Belgic
Majesty to the dangerous chances of unpopular
ity, without securing any of the advantages of
peace. He is now, perhaps, without a Cabinet
—exposed to the attacks of the press, to the re
monstrances of the legislature, and even to the
suspicion of the more charitable and loyal por
tion of his subjects. His allies are bound to re
place him in the situation which he would have
occupied had he not trusted to their assurances
of that definitive arrangement, which, if obtain,
ed, would have constituted his best apology for
apjH.aring to have constituted his best apology
for appearing to have deserted his pledges.
Express from Paris.
London, Sept. 22, (Evening.)—An express
from Paris has arrived to-day, with the letters
of Thursday, and every thing indicates that
France is perfcctfully ready to second the deci
sion of the Conference by a movement against
Holland, should that step be deemed advisable.
Troops are collected on the frontier next Bel
gium, and could, It is conceived, be in Brussels
in a very short time. Tho Duke of Orleans
has left Paris for Brussels, m order, as it is sup.
posed, to convey to Leopold, the opinions of the
French ministry, and to explain the course
which is intended to be pursued in the event of
the King of Holland proving refractory. The
late communication from the Hague, which was
laid before the London Conference yesterday,
was not known in Paris, but every expectation
existed that it would turn out as unsatisfactory
as has really proved to be the case. It is per
fectly understood, however, that the French
troops will not move without the concurrence
of tho English ministry. The co-operation of
England, by sending a fleet into the Scheldt, is
desired by France, but, failing that, the consent
of the ministry- to the march of the French
troops into Belgium will be deemed sufficient.
The funds fell about one per cent, in Paris, on
Thursday, in consequence of the feeling that
an interference in behalf of Belgium had be
come all but inevitable.
Change in the Belgian ministry.
London, Sept. 21. —Despatches have been
received by M. Van de Weyer, the Belgian
minister, from General Goblet, announcing the
retirement of M. de Meulinaire, the Belgian
minister for Foreign Affairs, and the appoint
ment of Gen. Goblet to that post ad interim.
An entire change of the Belgian ministry is
announced, but it is not yet officially stated who
are to replace them. M. Van de Weyer has
received from General Goblet full powers to
treat with the Dutch minister, Baron Von Zuy
len, on the dispute between Holland and Bel
gium ; but up to the present time, Baron Von
Zuylcn has received no powers from his court
to treat with M. Van de Weyer on the subject ;
and it remains to be seen whether the King of
Holland will consent to such a mode of pro
ceeding, taking for the basis of it the recom
mendations of the Conference.
It is not true, as stated by some of our con.
temporaries, that Leopold has accepted certain
propositions from the Conference ; he has nei
ther accepted nor rejected any thing that has
been suggested to him from that quarter, and the
Conference have merely advised the course
which they wish him to follow. The retire
ment of M de Meulinaire and the other minis
ters, however, and the powers given to M. Van
de Weyer to negotiate with the Baron Von
Zuyien, are we think, strong indications of a
disposition, c:i the part of Leopold, to adopt
most, if not all, the suggestions of the Confer
enco.
London, Sept. 22d.—The Russian ambassa
dor, Count Malusavilch, has arrived in town to
day from Doncaster. He is supposed to have
been sent for by the Dutch minister, to strength
en his position with regard to the Conference of
the English ministry. The meeting of the Con-
Terence, which was to have taken place to-day,
has been put off till Monday, and it is believed
that Lord Grey has been sent for to assist at its
deliberations.
Os the foreign funds the chief fluctuations
to-day were in Dutch and Belgian, which have
both declined. ■ All the European securities are,
however, more or less affected hv the crisis
’ m/
which is believed to be impending.
Death of Ferdinand of Spain.
London, Saturday Evening, Sept. 22.—In
telligence has been received through France to
day, of the death of the King of Spain, which
there is no reason for doubting, though some
persons have declared themselves incredulous
on the subject. His health Has been declining
for some time past, and he has lately had a se
vere attack of the gout. The news, if confirm
ed, is expected to hasten the approach of the
crisis in Spain.
Don I*cdro’s Expedition.
There arc no later accounts from Portugal.
Reinforcements to aid the cause of Don Pedro
were continually departing.
London, Sept. 23.—The Lord Wellington
East-Indiaman, a large ship of upwards of 1400
tons burthen, has been lately purchased by the
agents of Don Pedro, after having made seve
ral voyages to the East Indies, and is now be
ing enlarged, altered, and repaired, at the ship
building yard of Messrs. Cox and “Curling, at
Limehouse. This fine vessel will be pierced
: lor sixty-guns, and will, in fact, be transformed
into a line-of-battle ship, sufficient to cope with
the largest man-of-war in Don Miguel’s service,
and will prove, when completed, a powerful re
inforcement to the fleet of Admiral Sartorius-
The Echo steamer, Lieut. Otway, sailed from
Falmouth on Tuesday, 18th, for Oporto, with
the Marquis Palmella, Senhor Barboza, his Se-
and suite ; Senhors Costa, Vasconcel

; FROM A LATE LONDON ?.VPEL
r THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Various reasons are assigned for the dcprccia
’ tion in the value of Bank stock within the last
I few days. Some accuse the Bank of having
I* paid aportion of its dividends out of itscapital,lhe
profits being unequal to the 8 per cent, so paid,
’ and hence the decline. Others ascribe the fall
I to the uncertainty as to whether the charter
‘ will be renewed.
Both parties are mistaken. 'I he Bank has
not paid any portion of the dividends out of the
capital, its profits being sufficient for that pur.
J pose, and actually yielding a surplus. As to
the renewal of the charter, the directors enter.
• *
tain no apprehensions on the subject. The
p committee which lately sat upon their affairs,
consisting of thirty-two members, and of which
1 Lord Althorp was chairman, were, with the ex
ception of Sir Henry Parnell, unanimous in fa
* vor of the renewal. These facts, and we know
them to be facts, 1 licit Tore, put an end to most
’ of the speculations.
The origin of the fall and of these appro
hensions, which have prevailed for some time, is
‘ this:—The committee appointed to inquire into
the management of the Bank was a sec ret com*
mittee. The directors were not bound to sub
mit their private correspondence to any commit
tee, but as this was a secret one, they laid be
• fore them without reserve every important docu
* ment, and made communications which they nc
t ver would have made had they imagined that
• these documents w ould be published. Certain it
■ is, however, that the committee iiave, without
■ the consent of the directors, ordered the evi
■ deuce taken before, and all the documents thus
1 submitted in a confidential manner to be printed !
1 In a few days, therefore, the public may be in
possession of secrets which have been carefully
■ confined to the breasts of the directory ior more
than thirty years.
This evidence, we understand, is of a most ex
‘ traordinary nature. The delusive system, or
* as it is called by a contempory, the “ blinding
i system,” carried on by the government for a
i long period, and of which the Bank was the a
gent, and often the reluctant agent, is fully ex
posed. The causes of the panic in 1825 form
an interesting chap ter in this evidence, and the
whole blame is thrown upon the government of
Lords Liverpool and Goderich, and which Sir
Robert Peel was a member. We beg leave,
therefore, to adve 1 1 to these briefly, leaving
other matters to a future opportunity.
It appears that in order to relieve the nation
al distress of 1822, ministers advised the Bank
to increase its issues, and raise prices by means
of a redundancy of paper money. Four mil
lions of bank-notes were consequently added to
the circulation. The Bank began to discount
liberally—it lent money upon various kinds of
security—encouraged the country bankers to do
the same—and by preventing forced sales of
corn and cattle, many a farmer from ruin,
and enabled landlords to receive rents which
they never otherwise could have received.
This issue of hank paper took place in 1823,
, so that 1824 was a prosperous year, and 1825,
; as Lord Goderich described it, one of the most
, prosperous periods in the annals of our history.
This last, however, in spite of Lord Goderich’s
boasted prosperity was the year of the panic.—
The rage for loolish. absurd, insane, & swind
ling speculations was at its height. Thejob
bers of London were reaping a rich harvest. —
• Almost every tradesman was n stockjobber—
chimney sweeps held shares in the patent brick
company—attorneys speculated in Alderney
cows; washerwomen bought largely in the dairy
company—and dairy maids trafficked in the
shares of the washing company. John
Bull and Mrs. Bull were gulled, robbed, pill
aged, and converted into monstrous jackasses
by tricksters, charlatans, and loan contractors,
¥ I' ’
congregated in London from all the known and
o ~
unknown parts of the world.
The const :quence was, that about the month
of September, 1825, the Bank directors saw their
former issues coming in upon them like shoals
of pilchards on a flood tide. The exchanges
had turned against England. The gold was fast
leaving the country; and it is a fact stated in
evidence before the commttee by a Bank direc
tor, that in this same month of September, the
whole amount of bullion in the Bank, includins
coined and uncoined gold and silver of all kinds,
did not exceed £1,300.000. What was then to
• be done / The directors saw that a run had
commenced under the form of an under current,
not visible to the public eye, but which was dra
ining them of their resources.—They had no
alternative, therefore, but to reduce their issues,
which they did by selling Exchequer bills to the
amount of at least six millions sterling.
This large sum was drawn from the trade and
business of the country. Merchants’ bill could
no longer be discounted— Country bankers could
no longer be accommodated.--building opera
tions, and every kind of speculation, had to be
suspended—credit was seized as if with an apo
plectic strokes ; and hence all the alarm, all the
terror, all the universal panic, the cry for gold,
1 the run upon the banks, the ruin and misery that
! ensued.
* It is clearly proved in evidence that the gov
‘ ernment were the sole authors of that panic.—.
They first compelled the Bank to increase its
issues ; and when the re-action caused by sud.
: den prosperity took place, the government left
the Bank to its fate, and refused to assist it in
so frightful an emergency. It is a fact—admitted
by the directors themselves —that but for the
i one pound notes they had in store, and which
they sent into circulation in the month of Do
, cember, when scarcely a sovereign was left in
) the coffers of the Bank, they would have been
, compelled to stop payment! The ministers of
the day were entirely to blame. Ever since
1797 the Bank has been the tool of the govern
’ ment. The directors were the passive agents
t of the ministry, without any mind of their own.
j As they were commanded, so they acted. —
] The} were told to establish branch banks, and
, they did so, previously to their own injury.
, They were desired to increase their issues in
. order to relieve the country, and they increased
them contrary to their own wishes, and at the
i hazard of bankruptcy. But no sooner did the
i evil that they foresaw make its appearance in
. the form of a run, a drain, and a panic, than
. these same ministers deserted them, left them
1 in the lurch their gold all gone, to sink or swim,
s as it might please Providence.
; These are extraordinary facts which will be
j further explained when the printed evidence is
> laid before the public. At the time of the panic
. and when the Bank was compelled to issue the
one pound notes, the whole amount of gold and
> silver coined and uncoined in its coffers did not
2 exceed one hundred thousand pound sterling !! !

PRESIDENTIAL, ELECTION.
From the best information, we are of the opinion that
the Jackson Ticket has succeeded in Pennsylvania by
a large majority, but as the accounts nre so conflicting
we forbear giving any returns until we can do so cor
rcctly.
By our last advices from New-York, the election was
progressing with great spirit on both sides—but have no
doubt that Jackson will succeed by a small majority.—
We hope to be able soon to lay before our readers the
official returns from both States, and feel confident ot
success.
THE CHOLERA.
We are glad to find that the Pestilence is yet confined
to Folly Island—and as, by the accounts of yesterday,
preparations are made for the removal from the Island
of all who are able to endure a voyage, we yet hope it
will spread no further.
The ravages in New-Orleans are awful, and for parti
culars, must refer our readers to the extracts in our co
lumns.

At 3 o'clock, this day, the members elected to the
Convention met; after some remarks from several mem.
hers, John Moore, Esq. delegate for Oglethorpe, w’as
proposed as chairman, as well as Dr. Reese, delegate
for Jasper. On a division, it appearing that 64 members
were in favour of Mr. Moore, and 63 in favor of Dr.
Reese, Mr. Moore was therefore chosen chairman. On
motion, Col. W. C. Dawson, was requested to act as
Secretary. The secretary then proceeded to call the
counties in alphabetical order, to ascertain the counties
represented, the names of the delegates, and the creden
tials they had of their election. Mr. Gordon, a delegate
for Putnam, introduced a resolution to proceed to the
choice of a President by ballot, which was adopted. The
meeting then proceeded to ballot for a President; and
on counting the votes, it appeared that George R. Gil.
mcr, Esq. delegate for Oglethorpe, had 70 votes, and
Dr. Reese 53 votes; upon which Mr. Gilmer was de
clared President of the convention. He was introduced
and took the chair, after a short address to the conven
tion. The convention made choice of Messrs. Hanscll,
Torrance and Moseley, as secretaries. Mr. Torrance in
troduced a resolution for the appointment of a committee,
to consist of 21 members, to report resolutions respect,
ing the object for which the convention met, the protcc.
tivc system, and what the convention should take into
consideration and deliberate upon. A motion to lay the
resolution on the table for the present, was lost. Mr.
Forsyth then moved to postpone the consideration of that
resolution. Upon this motion a considerable and inter
esting debate ensued; the principal speakers were
Messrs. Forsyth, Berrien, Gumming, Blackshear, Clay
ton and Spalding. The motion of Mr. Forsyth was re
jected, and the resolution introduced by Mr. Torrance
was adopted. The convention adjourned to 3 o'clock
to-morrow afternoon.

solved.that a committee of Election and Appointments
be now appointed, to inquire into the right of any mem.
ber to hold his seat, whenever the same shall be con

debate ensued, in which the principal speakers wers
Messrs. Forsyth, Torrance, Crews, Beall of Bibb, Gam
ble, Clayton, Alford, Berrien, Cuthbert, Clark, Lewis of
Jones, and others. The convention adjourned without
i ’
deciding the question before them. Previous to the ad

FOR THE GEORGIA CONSTITUTIONALIST.
With what anxiety must every lover of In*
country view the deliberations of the present
Anti-Tariff Convention at Milledgevillc. K m .
bodying as it does, the talents of the* Stale
whether for good or evil, it must have a great
weight and influence upon the future destinicsof J
our country. —They will be called on to decide j
whether our Institutions are to be preserved, or 1
whether we are to sacrifice at the shrine oft I
most unholy ambition, the Union and blessings
of these United States.
To excite in the minds of a multitude preju.
dices against any Government, is the workoj'a
Demagogue—but it has often been seen thate.t.
citementscan be gotten up by those least able to
control them, and who are found “to hide as
they see the danger approaching.” Nullifica.
tion as a “ natural right of revolution,'' 1 hav
never doubted ; but its probable consequences,
i must determine its expediency, and no man caa
but believe that it must either produce an aim
gation of the Tariff, a dissolution of the Union,
or the defeat and disgrace of the Party. If the
majority in Congress refuse the first; one of the
two last must follow, of consequence, and whoit
may be reasonably asked, is prepared for such
an event?
It has been said t hat we have nullified and are
still in the Union ; but suppose Mr. Clay elect,
cd President, and he persist in his policy, anJ
what then would be our situation ?
| We are told Nullification will he prospective,
| and that “we will give Congress a certain lime,"
I to repeal the Law, and after that time we will
resist, and if pushed out of the Union we will
, form a Southern Confederacy.
This last is doubtless the end and aim of some
who are foremost in the work, and it would be
well if such men could answer to their God and
posterity for the We look to the
patriotism and virtue of those who hold In their
hands the destinies of our common country,
trusting that thei r deliberations maybecharao.
tensed with “ wisdom and moderation,” and that
whatever may be done, shall be for the preset,
vation of this happy, this glorious Republic.

Non sibi sed Pairin.
On Thursday the Ist inst, n splendid collation
■was given to the citizens of Burke by their en
terprising and truly patriotic fellow-citizcn Maj'r
Gen’l David Taylor Jr. at hisrplantation (Arme
nia) near his newly established, Foundery,
which was attended by a large and respectable
number of citizens of the County and several
distinguished individuals from the adjoining conn
ties. It was not a littld gratifying to those who
as yet are unwilling to consider the compact
formed by our forefathers and which has been
for many years the wonder of the world ns n
“ rope of sand,” to observe the good feeling
which appeared generally to pervade the as
sembly. As the primary object of it was rather
a convivial meeting or an expression ot feelißt
from our worthy and respected host; not niuen
political speaking was expected, let so farrnn
opportunity was not entirely neglected, and after
a short address from General Taylor which f
him honor as a man, and a citizen of our republic
—the audience was addressed in rotation by the
following gentlemen with pointed and animated
speeches, Dr. J. W. Taylor, R. E. Burke, Esq-
Wm. Bennett, Esq. and in conclusion in a brief
but spirited address by Mulford Marsh, Esq.
The scene was no little enhanced £>y the p°r
trait of General Andrew Jackson, being suspend
ed at the head of the table, while the America*
flag floated upon the passing zephyr, and cous
in its folds the martial music that emenated fm®
its base. The guests consisting of between
five and six hundred persons seated themself
around the tables, and while delighted banqi®*
ling upon its viands the eye was no little arrest
ed by the neatness of preperations, and the e 3f
saluted bv a host of patriotic sentiments. Af' fr
partaking of the festivities of the day they rett
ed in that good order and harmony which is de
sirable on such an occasion.

The accounts from New-Orleans shew *

Our city is still devoted to pestilence.
though we have hospitals for the reccp' lo .
