Resumption of Spedic Payments.
The Banks in this city have deletmined to re.
same ojj the Ist of August, notwithstanding all;
that has appeared to the contrary in the newspa- :
pers. This determination has given very gene
ral satisfaction to the business portion of the com
munity. who now believe that in a short time bu
~n e s. will again resume its wonted arti my.
| The Governor, as will he seen in u subsequent
: column, has issued a proclamation calling on the
; Hanks throughout the slate, to losutue by the
j 13th August next, so that had no previous at
j rangements been enlcieJ into lor this purpose,
| they would soon have been compelled to adopt
this course.
The following are extracts from Governor
Rimer's Message, requiring the Banks of Penn
sylvania to resume specie payments;
i therefore, by virtue of that enjoinment of
i the Constitution which requires the Governor of
I the fjlnle to lake care that the laws he faithfully
j execulej, and for the purposes aforesaid, do here
j by require all Banks in this Commonwealth, on
; or before the thirteenth day of August next en
suing the date hereof, to resume and continue
the redemption of their respective Notes, Bills,
and other obligations, in gold and silver coin, ac
cording to the true intent and meaning of their
charters. And, for the purpose of aiding those
institutions in the accomplishment of litis lauda
ble object, I deem it proper to stale, from the in
formation I have obtained, that their solvency I
and general condition is such as to entitle them
to the confidence of all who hold their notes,
their amount of specie on hand being largely
increased and of notes in circulation much di
minished, since the suspension of specie pay
ments in May, 1837.”
“And further, for the purpo-es and by virtue
of the enjoyment aforesaid, I do also hereby re
quire all persona of bodies corporate, who may
. have jydated the laws of (his-Stale, by the ends,
sion and circulation of notes of any denomina
tion under that of five dollars, commonly called
"Shin-plasters,” to lake instant measures for the
full and honest redemption of the same, in gold
and silver coin, or such other ample equivalent
as shall he satisfactory to the holders thereof,
under pain of the penalties, if this notice be
not complied with in a reasonable time, it will
he the duly of all good citizens to enforce.”
I his then, appears to place the great question
of resumption beyond a doubt.

Mu. Editor :—You will oblige the friends
of the Mercer University, by publishing the
report of the Board, who conducted the recent
examination, which elicited the approbation of a
large and respectable audience. H.
Hiving attended the examination of the stu
dents of the Mercer University, we take pleasure
in informing its patrons, friends, and the public,
of out satisfaction with the exhibition of capu.
hility and care on the part of the instructors, and
of studiotisness and improvement on that of the
students; Two days Were spent in the exami
nation, which was Close and thorough. The
Board were particularly pleased With (he mode
ol teaching the rudiments of the various branches
of study, and with the correct application of
their principles by the pupils. Greater progress
in study could not ho expected of any stu
dents, while their deportment was cicdilable
to them and gratifying to us.
We would conclude by remarking that the
improvement of (he students, afforded evidence
of lliCj practicability of uniting Manual Labor
with Literary pursuits. We cordially commend
this Institution to the notice of the public, as
one which now aflbrds superior advantages, and
promises to lie a rich blessing to the Slate.

TJie latest Yankee Trick.
Three French Officers and six men captured !nj
three American Tars.
The town was all agog the whole of yesterday
afternoon, in consequence of the arrival of the
schooner Lone, Capt. Clark, of this port, from
Matamoras, having on boaid, in appaiant cap
tivity, three French Naval officers and six men.
Every body we met had such a droll chuckle and
giin on his countenance, that it was some time
before we could understand what it all meant.—
However, we, went aboard, saw the mate and re
eeived from him the particulars ol the aflair as
follows:
7’he Lone left this city some time since with a
valuable cargo for Motamoras. She succeeded
in getting into port despite of the blockade; but
in attempting to return was captured by the boats
of a French brig of war—the four sailors and a
passenger were placed on hoard the U. S. sloop
of war Vandalia; and Capt. Clark, the mate and
steward were allowed to remain on board. A
prize crew took charge of her, consisting of a iicu-
I tenant, quarter master, captain of the foretop and
i six sailors, nine in all—and thus rigged out, the
prize was despatched to the French admiral at
Vera Cruz. This capture, &e., took place on the
25th or 28 h of June—the mate was not remem
ber which, as he had not the log convenient when
j we saw him.
After getting every thing in foadiness they
j proceeded on their way to Vera Cruz. The
I French were strangers, not acquainted with the
j currents, the coast, the Northers, &c, and the
t Yankee prisoners blarneyed them so, that they
I struck much farther to the eastward than was
j necessary, and actually made a mistake of three
| degrees in their reckoning. The Yankees, how.
j ever, knew where they were and what they were
I about, and kept dark.
j At length on the morning of the 4tU of July,
I about 4 o’clock, the three American tars com
j menced their celebration by a bold stroke for in
| dependence, when they were only 30 miles
j from Sacrifices, where the Fiench squadron lay.
| Capt. Clark, the mate and steward were all on
| deck. They first took the precaution to luck
i the door of the cabin, thus fastening in the lieu i
tenant commandant, and put the hatch over the !
forecastle—the captain then went up to the man
at the wheel, and placing his finger in cucii a
| way as to resemble a pictol, swore he would blow
j hL brains out if he did not instantly put the
J helm down. Tim fellow obeyed, ami was tied,
j 1 line others who were on deck, woio also “lit
j on." tied down and secured. The other four
I "ho were in Ihe forecastle, were ordered up, and
j as they came up one by one, they also were tied.
The tri-colored flag was taken down, the stars
and stripes were again hoisted, and Capt. ( dark,
alter thus so completely re-taking his vesoel
without bloodshed, with a force of three men
against nine, resumed the command end shaped
his course for this port, with his prisoners sliung
together like so many dried apples, where he
arrived yesterday at two o’clock.
These three gallant follows appear to have met
wi h hut little resistance. They were determin
ed to have possession of the vessel. This, wo
presume, the Frenchmen perceived at the com
mencement ol hostilities, and concluded that it
would he as well to submit with thcjjbcst grace
[ possible. The prize was worth about £25,000
! of which £15,009 was in specie and the remain
| der in hides. This was too paltry a matter to
j light for, and we think it was well enough that
I the hlockaders disdained to shed blood for such
a trifle.
The Lieut. Colhmandant, we understand, re
tained possession of the papers of the Lone, but
whether he has yet given them up to the Cus
tom House officers, we have not learned. At all
events, we cannot think that any national diffi
cully will grow out of the affair. Our French
friends should forget it all, or only laugh at it ns
acute trick—of a nature which lire Yankees arc
always up to. It is indeed a most laughable joke
to think of three men capturing nine!—JV. O.
Picayune.
Mexican blockade.
The French blockade of Mexico excites
jealousy in England. The London Courier
says;
England and the Uniled States arc equally
interested in looking at this alfair with some
jealousy. The trickery by vvhieh the Duke of
Wellington was imposed on, when a French
fleet was sent to Algiers to demand satisfaction
for an affront offered to a Consul, ollght Hot to
he forgotten. If the French obtain possession
of a stronghold oh the Mexicali toast, it will be
no easy matter to induce them 10 relinquish il ;
and wilh the half civilized Mexicans for their
neighbors, there will never boa difficulty in
finding pretexts for new demands Os satisfactions.
Mexico might then become as completely a
French possession as Algiers is now, for there
would be immediately a strong colonization parly
in the Chambers.
From the Southern Churchman.
I send you for publication in the Southern
Churchman, the subjoined extract from a dis
course lately preached in St. Paul’s church, Au
gusta, Georgia, by the Rev. Mr. Ford, the Rector,
Mr. Ford has been induced to permit mo to send
it to you lor publication, by the single consider
ation that the notice which it embodies of ihc la
mented IFoart, and the evidence which it con
tains of the respect and affection wilh which both
himself and his truly estimable companion was
regarded in this community, may furnish some
consolation Os his bereaved relatives, under their
heavy load of sorrow. The text of the discourse
is taken from Lamentations hi. 1)9, 40. “Where
fore, doth a living man complain, a man for the
punishment of his sinsl Let us search and try
our ways, and turn again unto the Lord.” At
ter discussing the subject under the three distinct
heads—of the impiety, the ingratitude, and the
unreasonableness of complaining, under the di
vine dispensations, the discourse concludes as fol
lows ;
“The lesson of humble submission to the afflic
tive dispensation of Divine Providence which our
text inculcates is a lesson which wo have need
well to ponder, in view of a recent calamity,
whose almost stunning effects have scarcely yet
had time to subside among us. Who is there of
us who upon the first announcement of that re
cent awful disaster on Ihc deep, by which nearly
one hundred ol our fellow beings, many of them
our acquaintances and friends, full of health, and
buoyant with spirits, and with hope, were hurried
into eternity, under circumstances so heart rend
ing to contemplate—who of us, I ask, was not
disposed, under the first impulse of feeling, upon
this said intelligence, to give vent to exclamations
which, like those of the Prophet, in the context,
approached 100 nearly, perhaps, to impious mur.
minings against the hand of that mysterious, yet
most righteous (iud, from whom it proceeded I
Such feelings and such expressions was that ca
lamity well calculated to produce. And yet less
tor ourselves, perhaps, speaking as a congregation,
than for others, over whom this dispensation has
passed witli a heavier hand; for while our com
munity generally has sulib od largely in this me
lancholy visitation, wo, as a congregation, have
certainly been dealt with in (his instance, in pe
culiar mercy. It would seem, indeed, as though
the destroying angel, in designating the victims
of this visitation, had pronounced of us, in consi
deration of our heavy participation in a similar
recent calamity—“lt is enough.”*
No seat within this, our house of prayer, has
been vacated by this visitation, as were several
by the other to which wo allude. A few hearts
among us, it is true, have been called to grief and
sadness over the fate of dear and valued friends—
and among these is ene, with respect to whom I
should do great injustice to -my own feelings,
and I am sure to those of many in the congrega
tion, were I to pass by his melancholy fate with
out a special notice, I allude to a Reverend and
much beloved brother in the ministry, whoso well
known, and doubtless well remeinben-1 voice lias
several times within the last three yews been
heard from the place which I now occupy. Ne
ver was that voice hoard by any of us without de
light; never without profit, I hope —never
so, I am sure, but from our own fault.
Rut never shall wc hoar that voice again;
Never more with its silver tones shall il proclaim
to our care, or to those of others, the blessed gos
pel of reconciliation. With the amiable com
panion of liis bosom, so well known by many
among os, and so much admired and loved—with
her, amid sufferings at tiie thought of which our
hearts sicken and swell almost to bursting with
pity—the gifted, the eloquent, the amiable, the
beloved IVonrtf has gone down into the caverns
of the deep! “They were lovely and pleasant
in their lives, and in death they were not divided.”
Still comparatively speaking, our bereavements
have been put partial, but although wo have
not much room to complain for ourselves, yet are
we perhaps but too prone to volunteer our mar
tourings for others, to whose bosoms ibis visita
tion has come nearer. In view of their case,
still we are too prone to exclaim against those
second, those human causes, which, whether with
or without foundation, arc represerned to have
led to this sad catastrophe; or perhaps with a
still less spacious and less disguised impiety, to
complain more immediately against divine provi.
dence, in view of the peculiarly distressing cir
cumstances attending it. “Alas!” we exclaim in
one case, “a whole family stricken at once into
eternity!” “Ah” say wo, in another, “this father
snatched away from a helpless family! this rno<,
! (her torn from her dependent children! these la
i ken away so unprepared! that community bereft
of its ornaments, its pillars! that congregation!
smitten and scattered as sheep without a shep-1
1 hcid' the* minister of Chris', 'ho so ably, so ;
movingly proclaimed tho message of salvation,

anguish overspreading no ninny families through
out our limit so many bosoms bereaved! so mjnv
hearts broken! so many buds of promise blighted!
so many hopes crushed! an many founlalhs of
tears opened!—Great tied! Mysterious, inscruta
ble Providence! Why—oh why !”
“Uut, my brethren, with tire Prophet in our
text, let us check these niurnmnugs—let us re
buke these rebellious complaints— lor why
should ;r living man compili n' We are men,
wc are human—and why should we complu n
n gainst our Mailer, who, as our Maker, lias a
sovereign right to do as he will with Ins own]!
As men too, we are short-sighted and ignorant,
and why should we complain against Him
whose all seeing glanca lakes in the hidden
connexions and the distant mid future conse
quences at events 1 Vea, more, wc are sin

mercy that wo are srdl “living men” and have
our day of probation still continued tons; Ev
ery pulse we to 1, every breath wo draw are so
ninny high and solemn claims upon onr grati
tude. Let us then, my brethren, in view of
this awful visitation which lias carried mourn -
ing m so many families in our land, repress all
murniurings against that mysterious, ybt ihost
righteous Providence, under whom it has oc
curred. While in view of Iho fate nf those
who have been so suddenly called by it into
eternity, tve devoutly pray to God that He
would so tench us to number our days, that we
may apply our hearts unto heavenly wisdom;
and while freely mingling the tears of our sym
pathy with those surviving relatives whom it
lias called to weep the sad tears of bereaved
affection, let us remember, withal, that the
Judge of all the earth shall do right, that God
doth not willingly grieve or atllict the children
of men, but rather for their profit, that they
may become partakers of hie holiness. For
them, therefore, let our prayers nsccud to the
Father of mercies, that in devout submission
to His holy will, searching and trying their
ways wherefore it is that God hath thus ulllic
ted them, they may, in faith and repentance,
turn unto Him; that tints their ollliction, which
though grievious, is yet hut tor a moment, may
under the Divine blessing, “work out for them
a far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory.”

Os the one hundred and sixty prisoners received

were married, I have never seen a stronger il
