THK XtISORIUTIKS, INCONKISTXSfIF.S, IN
SUFriCIfe.ICY AND FINAL BTRUtICILES OF
CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY. (No. 5.)
Paris, Oct. 2(i, 1830.
Tv the F.ilit'm nf thr New York Daily Express
Gentlemen, —'l'lioy are now establishing
in old Europe “ K octivo Monarchies”! 'lHns
ie an invention of (lie 19ih century. It lias at
least tlic merit of being new —but its novelty
is almost i ! s only recommendation. For tliesi
“ elective " innijarchics are also to bo hereditary!
The people may choose the first King—the
founder of the dynasty—but Ins successors,
are to be his offspring, or his next of kin, a«
the case may be; and no provision is inidc
•gainst the succession of some gouty old un
cle, or gome stupid young nephew, both equal
ly incompetent to the duties of ruling a free
and enlightened people. So, though the foun
der of the dynasty, chosen at least hy a por
tion of the people, or their representatives,
may he a very able, intrepid, and determined
Ilian, bis successor may bu soma ignorant,
cowardly, and imbecile prince.—Tims you
perceive, that the Europeans in question, have
gone but a very little way—taken but n very
short step, in the new system of “ Elective
Monarchic*,” and have framed a sort at “jus
le-mUieu” between Elective and Hereditary
Monarchies, which tallies with the rest of the
absurdities of constitutional governments!
Louis Philippe is an elected King —Leopold of
Belgium is an elected King—The Queen
Christiana is to he the elected regent by the
Cortes, under tho 188, 181),and 100th articles
of the Constitution ot 1812. Donna Maria
and Isabella 2nd arc both elected Queens —
for as to Donna Maria being Queen “depart"
because she was tho daughter of 1) n Pedro,
it is all nonsense —since ns I) in Pedro had
forfeited Ins right to the crown of Portugal by
accepting that of Brazil, his daughter could
not have greater inherent right under tho old
Portuguese laws and usages than her father,
frpm whom she must inherit them. Don Mi
pud though a tyrant, was the legitimate Sov
ereign of Portugal—but the people exercised
their undoubted rights, and elect d Donna
Maria ! And as some doubt was fell in Por
tugal, and us some discussions were kept up—
as to whether Dintis M iria rcignod hy right
divine,nr by the will of the people; why I lie
people have lately set this matter publicly at
rest, hy compelling her to swear fidelity to the
Constitution, not of Don Pedro, her father—
hnl to that of Portuguese—viz: the Constitu
tion of 1820! In like manner, the throne of
Donna Isabella 2nd, the “x-nj innocent’’
Qle en of Spain—is not an Hereditary bit
an elective Throne! Ferdinand 7th had no
more right to leave tlm throne of Spain to his
daughter, than the President nf tlio United
Stales of America, had to confer his office on
a succesior. I) m Carlos is tho “legitimate”
King of Spain—but then Don Carlos is ob
jectionable to tho Spaniards—for his love of
priestcraft—his attachment, to ahsoluti in and
absolutists—his affection for the governments
of tho north of Europe, and his aversion to
those European governments, whore liberty is
at any rate, ('hougb imperfectly,) at lea-t m isl
enjoyed—and his determination nut to make
any concessions lu popular opinion and to ihu
national will, havu divided the Spaniards, on
nd submitting to bis authority, and on not ac
knowledging him as King I Thus it is not
liie testament of Ferdinand Sovenih which
constitutes the title deeds either of Isabella
Fecund, or the rights of the Regency, but the
will of the Spanish people, and the elective
right* exercised by them.
Thus we have Franco, Spain, Belgium, and
Portugal, elective monarchies, to tho extent of
one degree of election—but still always sad
dled with the absurd and dangerous position
of all monarchies, viz : their hereditary char
ae.ter. Yet this is tho “ alia podrida" system
or cumnDuiiunui governments, wtilcti by en
deavoring to be all things to all men, is soon
er or later objected to by all—and is too much
ot a monarchy to satisfy the people—and is
not enough of a monarchy to please the Kings.
In my letter, No. 4, on this subject, to which
1 request your readers to have the goodness
to turn, before they continue tho perns il of
this communication, I promised to analyze the
new Constitutions of 1312 and 1820, & show
bow far more domocratical they are—and
how next to nothing monarchical they have
become, which yet had originally for their
models the constitutional monarchies and in
stitutions ot England and France.
Let us begin with the constitution of 1812,
which is at this moment so much the object
cf attack, on the part of nearly allilie crown d
heads of Europe. Nor do I wonder tint it
should be so,—for it ever a constitution was
• nll-uiunarebical, il is the one under discus
sion. Do 1 complain of this] No I DoF
rejoice at it ] Yes I But still tho fact in the
same—the truth is quite unquestionable—that
n Queen or a King, under tho constitution of
1812,18,(1 “puppet Queen,”or a “puppet King."
1 admit that it would bo quite as well to have
no Queen, or no King, at all; but us the Span
iards are resolved on malting “a puppet
Queen,” why let ns look a htllo at, their
to ule of proceeding, as developed by the con
stitution in question.
Now yon have often hoard nf making a Doll
—and making all il—of making a Ministry
—and even of a man “ making a fool of hint
self’’- but perhaps yen have never yet heard
of the “ patent'’ lor making a Queen ?
As this " patent” is about to be applied
by the Cortes of Spain in tlia caso of that
country, it may perhaps amuse you to know
a little about it, especially ns the United States
is n commercial and enterprising country, and
” patent Queens" may perchance in time
become as popular as “ patent axle trees’’ to
stage am mail coaches I
Well, first of all, us Mrs. (Ilasso tho cooko*
ryfbook woman says, “catch the—woman” out
of Which a Queen is to bo made. This is
by no means difficult. She need not bo vir
tuous, nor wise, neither faithful to her tins
hand, or to lha cause of the people. San is
not. compelled to speak the language of the
people over whom she is placed, nor To be like
them in tastes, habits, customs, predilections,
interests, or affections. There is no objec
tion to her being a Neapolitan, to govern the
Spanish—nor to her having been brought up
an ultra Royalist, to boa spendthrift, a jilt,
and a luxurious and profligate woman, llui
'yet she quite eligible to the post of a
“ poppet Queen.” As in Europe wo shall not
find it difficult to meet with many ladies ot
high and noble families, who slitter them
selves that they may lay claim to some, if not
nil, ol these distinguished m irks of merit, il is
highly consoling lor the Ir en Is of monarchy,
to know, that as the old-fashioned kings of
the absolute and domestic school, havo lost
all chances of remaining long in office, a sub
stitute has been found not which will answer
the same purpose—and that subs titute, we are
übout to examine, in the shape of a “ puppet
Qncen” or a “ puppet King” for the Kingdom
or Qnccndom ofSpain By the bye, I think
it a little hard (hat the word “ Queendom”
lias not yet been adopted: and with your
permission, as long as Spain shall be govern
ed by a Queen we will can it a “ Queendom."
Notwithstanding, when a woman is killed, by
an accident, it is styled, “ man slaughter.
When the excellent Mrs. Glasse, in her ad
mirable cookery bool:! gives direction for the
“ slewing if eels.” Sim says “first catch my
eel,”—a by no means unnecessary precaution.
So we will say, in order to make a “ puppet
Queen,”f r sl catch a princess or a woman”
who is willing to be made a Queen.
This ha* been done in the case ofSpain,
through the Journal devoted to her cause and
interests, the “ Espagnol,” has assured us
that Christina has “no ambUint”ll and
merely consents to become Regent in order
U* secure the happiness of all Spaniards. The
v fulsome complirtiotiUi—and tho debasing and
disgustingflatt Ty paid by this Journal {“The '
Espagnol") to the Queen RogeiP—must bo j
• too grossly sycophantic even to please a “pup
pet Queen."
us now look at the attributes and mis
*ion of this “ puppet Queen" —and “puppet
Regent”'—as conferred by the constitution of
g 1812.
« The second article declares, that the Span
t ish nation is free and independent—and is j
y not, andcanuot bo, the patrimony of any in
i' div idual. Tims, nf course, Ferdinand Seventh
'! had not the p over of changing the rights ot |
e -occessi in, or conferring the crown on his
'■ daughter/
» The third article declare*, iliut “ eovntt
-5 eiontv” belongs essentially to the nation,
- and that to it belongs exclusively ho r.ghl of
■ establishing its fundamental laws. Then of
; course, all the system of the royal council es
lablishcd by M. Zen, Bermudez, M'Ofalia, the
• Queen Regent, and Ferdinand Seventh, in
, the will of that monarch, is subverted by the
1 adoption of the constitution ofTBl2.
, The fourteenth article declares that tho
i Spanish nation is a limited and hereditary
: monarchy—“ limited” indeed, as wc shall see
I hereafter.
s The composition of the National Cortes is
- declared to belong exclusively to the nation.
’ Tho “ puppet Queen,” or King, has not tho
i right of convoking the electoral Juntas of tho
I parishes when he or she think fit—but tho
f constitu'ion convokes them on the first Snn
i day of tho month of October of the year pro
i ceding the convocation of the Cortes. The
i snine regulations are made as to tho aasom
! bliesofthe electoral Juntas of districts, as
- well ns those of the provinces. In the whole
' system of the t hree degrees of election, the
, puppet Queen, or King, lias nothing to do
1 but to look on—no orders to give—and no do
i crees to make.
I Tho Cortes, so constituted by tho nation, arc
I in like manner ordered to meet every year—their
session* arc fixed for at least three consecutive
months—and arc ordered to begin in the Ist of
. March. The “puppet Queen,” oi King, cannot
1 change the period of mooting—cannot delay or
abridge il—and only has the power of prolonging
the session ono month—which power is likewise
possessed by two thirds of the Deputies. In Eng
land, and in France, tho King can summon the
parliament when he will—prorogue, adjourn,
and fix its lime of meeting when ho will; hut in
Spain, the constitution governs the King, and not
the King the constitution—and the representa
tives of tho nation must meet in the end of Feb
ruary—must begin their session during at least
three consecutive months.
Tho oath to ho taken hy tho Deputies is not
to be an allegiance to tbn King, and of fidelity to
the royal family, as in Frame and England, but
of fidelity to (lie constitution of 1813!
The president of the Cortes is not to be approv
ed by the King or Queen, ns in England, and as
was tho case in France daring the icslnrution—
(the French Chamber of Deputies having then
only llm right of naming throe candidates, from
which the King selected one) —but the Cories
elect tlio president they prefer, without any inter
vention of the royal authority.
When the OorUs nro constituted and ready to
proceed to business, the King and Queen is to
bo apprized thereof: and hy tho “120th article of
(he constitution, the King is ordered to reply to
the communication in writing,” The presidciil
fixes the day of opening the business—and if the
King cannot bo present on that day, the spoiling
is to lake place without him, ns on no account ,
ia the day fixed by tho Cortes to bo changed hy (
the King. If present, tho King is ordered to pro- i
nounco a speech, and if not present, to send a .
written speech to the president, to be read by him -
to the assembly. Tho sumo formalities, in which
. the ” poppet King” or Queen merely figure ns
ciphers,’ arc directed to he observed on the clos
ing, as at the opening of the Cories.
Tho ministers ot tho King have a right to bo
present at the deliberations of tho Cortes—and
cannot be so, unless allowed by Ike Cories—and
never when the Cories proceed to vote 1 So that
there ia an end to all monarchical influence over
the decisions of the Coitcs, which nro to be a*
free ns air.
And in ordrr to render any royal influence
over the Deputies impassible, (bo 12Uth article of
the constitution declares—“that no Deputy, du
ring the time be is Deputy, to commence from tho
epoch of his nomination in the permanent depu
tation of the Cories, can accept for himself, or
solicit for others, any employment whatever in
the gift of the King, nor any advancement in the
army and navy, unless it be an advancement to
which they arc entitled on account of the length
of their prior services.”
And tho 130th article even goer further still,
to render any royal favor to be conferred on De
puties for their votes impossible / for it pre
scribes, that not only during tho lime they a-e
Deputies, but for a year afterwards, they cannot
obtain, or solicit lor themselves or others, any
“declaration” or order, which the King can con
fer. (t|\! what pains are taken in this “ monar
chical” ! charts, to guard against the deadly night
shade of royal and monarchical influeneo!!—
What can prove more strongly than such articles
as those, the progress of democracy ia Western ■
Europe !
Unt where is the Chamber of err;ns or prn
corcs t There is none! none whatever 1 In Eng
land, there is the hereditary House of Lords,
which William Fourth himself dare not touch,
so great a dread lias be of the aristocracy ! In
Franco there is the Chamber ol Peers, though re
duced, I admit, to a peerage for life 1 and in Spain
till la oly, there w as tinner the government of tho
virtuous 1 Christina—and the “ innocent” Isa
bella Second 1” a Chamber of Proceres ; —but
it exists not longer—and the Spanish Proceres
and Grandees nro reduced to a rank pf private
citizens 1 Is not this the progress of democracy ! '
By tho 131st article of the Constitution, ti;e
Cortes are ordered to propose, decree, interpret
and repeal laws—and to resolve all dj/culties of
law or fact as to the order of succession to l/ie 8
Throne, 8o that the will of Ferdinand VII. is 1
in consequence of this very article—a nullity— t
and the system of Government founded by him ,
is absurd.
The Cortes are also charged to eleet the re- 1
geney or the regent— and even to fix the limits 1
of the regency or regent, and to decide how ’
and to what extent, the royal authority is to be |
exercised.
The Cortes aic likewise to name the Guardian
of the Infant King or Queen ; so that lire “ pup
pet King” en “ Queen” cannot so much ns op- ‘
point the Guardian of their own child! Do 1 i
complain of this! No! Hut it shows at least :
the precautions taken by monarchic. Spain
against the influence and authority, intrigues and
example of her monarch* 1 Tins is but a poor t
compliment to monarch* and monarchical insti- .
tutions, ns paid by Spain—but it confirms my
assertion, that democracy is progressing and that 1
the Constitutions of Europe do not change from
being less, to becoming more monarchical—but
exactly the reverse.
But the Cortes are likewise to approve before
lb etr ratification, nil Treaties of offensive al- r
fiance—ot subsidies - and a!) commercial Trea- t
lies! This is a terrible infringement on the rights !1
ol Constitutional Kings—since in future it will -
be for Foreign Governments to treat “ really” r
with the Spanish Cortes—and only nominally
with the “puppet Queen”or King.
The Cortes are likewise *
Ist. To pertuil or prevent the admission of Fo- 1
reign troops,
BJI To regulate the charges of the Courts of ,v
Justice. v
3d To fix the Army and Navy. 0
4lh 'Pa make the rules and regulations for
the .Irmy, .Vary, and .National .Militia. 1
sth J o lix all die small as well as large ex- 13
pence* ol the public administration.
bth i o regulate the wei ftits and measures. •'
7lh To encourage industry mid remove all 1
obstacles to its progress. And v
Blh To approve of the plan to be followed )'
for the Education of the Heir or Heiress to the
Throne. j'
Thus not only do the Cortes not trust the
“ puppet King” or Queen with the duly or pri- *
vilege of naming a Guardian for the Heir to the./
Throne, but even his or her education ia to be
prescribed by the Cortes! What confidence
this show* on the part of the Cortes in the King.)
1 and Queen* of tdpain 1 Why, they do not even
| think them capable or worthy ol bringing up
(heir own children.
The Cortes are also to protect the liberty est
the press—lieeause, of course, tbc King W
Quean would not do soto take care that the
responsibility of Ministers and Government ag. oils
should lie a reality—because, of course, die King
or Queen would make it a fiction ; —and to give
; or refuse their consent, to all royal measures, as
i they might think fit! This is very much indeed
| like being (ho master.
Hut the “ puppet King” or Queen is to give
! bis or her “ sanction” to tlio law ! Ob, yes ! but
please to observe under what restrictions.
1. The King (or Queen) may in tbc first in
stance refuse tbeir sanction—and write on die
law —“sent buck to the Cortes,”
2. lie must give his reasons for doing so by
writing.
3. He must refuse bis assent within 30 days
after the Uw shall have passed the Cortes—or
his silence will amount to asset t.
4 The law if not sanctioned by the King the
.first ye,ar, may bo voted again by the Cortes the
next year, and may again bo refused by the
King.
6. But the third year, if the law be again pro
posed to, and adopted tiy the Cortes, the law is
boa law wilhout the consent of the King !! 8o
the laws voted three times by the Cories, may tic
laws without “ its formality!” ot the royal sanc
tion !! ff Ihi* bo not tbc progress of democracy
—then I should bo glad to know, what is ? By
the bye, this suggests a very useful hint to
English House of Commons. It would be o'
good plan to decide that if the House of Com
mons shall during three consecutive sessions vote
a law, —and if the King will assent to it,—that
the third lime it shall become a law without the
assent of the House of Lords.
The “ promulgation” of tbc law belongs to
the King—but so docs the promulgation of a
Mayor's orders belong to a bellman or town crier
—and tho parallel ia a good one.
Tlio tz.nth chapter of the Constitution is ono
of (he most important, Il re lates to what is ( ail
ed a “ pciisj.xnxr Dr.rcTATios” (or commis
sion) of the Cories. This tkii.xcanf.nt commis
sion is to consist of 7 members—three to belong
to Europe.—three to the .Spanish Colonies—ami
the seventh to be chosen by lot, between an Eu
ropean and a Colonial Deputy. There are also
to he supplementary Deputies, in ca.e of the
death of any of the seven. This zesxasp.xt
Deputation is to last from session to session,
and their duties are no less important than tho
following:
1. To watch that the Constitution and Laws
are observed, and to give an account to the next
Cories of any infraction ! !
There’s a pretty compliment to the “ puppet
Queen or King!!” and there's a proof of confi
dence in their Ministers !!
2. To convoke extraordinary Cortes, if neces
sary.
3. To act every year a* Provisional President,
Secretaries, tic. to the Cortes, until those for the
session arc elected. And
4. To give orders for election* of Deputies in
the place of dead or resigned ones, during the
absence of tba Cortes. .
Now.rcally what does this amount to, but sup
planting the King nr Queen altogether 1 Their
acts and those of their Ministers are to lie watch
ed and reported nn, during tbc absence of the
Cortes. Extraordinary session* of the Cortc* are
to bo convoked not by the King or Queen, as in
France, England, and Belgium ; but by tins per
manent Deputation—and even they are to fix,
without King or Queen, tbc day on which the
extraordinary Cortes are to meet. They are also
to ho judges, according to the 102 d article, when
tho King or Queen are incapable of governing
—and arc to receive their orders of abdication 1
when made ! The King is also to ask them to
convoke an extraordinary Cortc*, when he may
think such a measure ia necessary—but he is not 1
to (mvc the power of convoking extraordinary,
any more than the ordinary Cortes, himself!
Yet this is called a “ Constitutional MONAR
CHY ! It had much belter be calltd “ Consti
tutional nonskjhe!!”
But do I disapprove of those rules, restrictions,
and binding clause* ? Quite the contrary 1 only
I maintain that I am nt least proving two points,
viz.: Ist. That the tendency of Europe is to de
mocracy—and 2d. That Constitutional monarch
ies are absurd, inconsistent and inefficient.
My letter has already extended to such a length
that I must defer till my next the investigation of
the Royal powers vesiod in the King ly the de
mocratic*! Constitution of 1813.

Tii.' steamboat Champion. (.apt Murray,
brings (lie following good intelligence, deri
ved from passengers on board the cutter Jcf-
r er#on R‘ I’ensacola, three days from Tampa
Bay. The intelligence is that the celebrated
Indian, called Jumper, & the neijro Abraham,
have been ca: ttired ; and t at 0.-eola himself
barely made bis rs .ape; with only five follow- .
ers, in litc direction of the south. General Jos
ip was making every effort for the capture of .
the bold and persevering Chief.
The sloop of war Concord, with Commo
dore Dallas on hoard, was expected at Pensa
cola in about a week. The Vnndalla had ta
Iten tne place oftiie Concord at Tampa.
from the Mobil# Morning Chronicle, Feb. 2.
Mexico —The brig Lucy, Capt. Bell, from
Tampico, yesterday, report* that the Califor
nians had separated themselves from the gov
ernment of Mexico ; and that rumors were in
circulation to the purport that Corn. Kennedy
of the American squadron, had landed sever
al hundred men to assist them in the stand
thus taken.
We are inclined to give little credit to the
latter rumor, whatever we may think of the
firmer—in the present, and always distracted
state of the provinces of Mexico, nothing off
, .tins kind can astonish us. /
From the N. York Com. Advertiser, Fob. L
Shipwrecks —We have to day to record
tin loss of several vessels with their cargoes,
die. Tlie schr Harriet, arrived this morning,
brought in Captain Townsend, mate and
crew of the ship Newport, of Boston, which
were taken from the wreck ot that vessel on i
on the 2.‘M d iy of January, when in bit. .‘sl 10.
lon, 7215(5 ; then in a sinking condition hav
ing nine feet of water in tier hold. Capt. T.
informs ns that for eighteen days he had con
tinued westerly gales and during the whole of
that time the weather wis so tempestuous
lint ho could not carry sail on flieship more
than four hours at a time. The Newport
was hound for Savannah, and had been out
from Boston 24 days.
We learn from Capt. Toy, of the brig Cha
tham, arrived tins morning from Smyrna,
that on the 17th of January, when in lat 20,
2S bespoke the B itisli schooner Brilliant,
from Bermuda, for Charleston, out five days,
the master of which reported that the brig
Resolution, and schr , Booth, had put into
Bermuda in distress.
Thr Course of Exchange.— The price
of bills upon 1 Minion having advanced in the
course of the week to 10$ per cent, premium,
apprehensions began to bo felt that our specie
would soon he making return voyages to
Europe. Indeed two shipments were yester
day announced, the one of ton thousand five
Iranc pieces, and tho other ot Iho like number
of Mexican dollars—both special remittances
fur specific purposes. One of the morning
piper states that specie to the amount of 150,-
000 dollars will lie shipped in the various
duckets whir l* wete to sail to-d iy. We rather
think thero is a mistake in tins statement,
since, by inquiring in Wall street, of those who
would bo lively to know, the report was not
confirmed; and as there was a falling off in
b.ils yesterday, produced by tho salutary com
petition of tlie U. S. Bank Agency—the pri
ces having receded to 9 3 4 to 9 1-2, the ex
portation of specie will lie cheeked, even if it j
had seriously commenced. Still should tor- !
eign bills advance again to 10 1-2 and up
ward, and maintain that price, the effect will
ot course )>e the shipment of specie for the
ordinary purposes of commerce. Although
Gen 'Jackson can stop the action of the con
slitulion, he cannot stop that of the irresistible
laws of trade. It would lie a good subject
fora caricature, to see the General and'hisy
man Benton, engaged in attempts to stop tho
outward flow of the specie current, when bill*
upon London are at 10V premium.— lbid,
Piracy.—(’apt Chandler of tho schooner
Harriet arrived this morning from Hayti, re
ports that a number of piracies hud been com.
milted on American vessels along the const
01 dial island and it was rumored and believed I
tbai the crews bad in several instances been
murdered. A number of American vessels,
that ought to have arrived at various porta as ;

Mob;: Indian Hi;i'.ikiiatu>ts.—one man kill- 1
cd—house attacked—white man with tlie Indians 1
—“Mr. Rossau who arrived in this place to-day,
infoims us that on Tuesday, the 21th inst. Lieut. ,
J. M.Similey, of Capt. Reed’s company stationed j’
at (lie Mineral Springe was shot by a party i f In- !
dians near the house of Mr. Sykes his falbcr-in- 1
law, with whom he lived. Mr. Sykes residence is 1
five miles from the Springs, on the road leauing
to Levingston’s Ferry, on the Suwannee river. ,
Lt. Siiailey was about 150 yards from the j
house engag 'd in culling wood, when lie was shot. 1
Three bulls took effect—one in his body, one in j
Ids bead, and one in the arm. He was killed in- <
stantly and scalped. j j
Mr. Sykes was in the corn house ; hearing the .
. shots and yell of the Indians, he ran for ins house
1 am id a volley of show from the Indians. He closed
(1,.. door. The Indians made a furious abac ,
upon die house containing Mr. and Mrs. Sykes,
and Mrs. Smiley and child, and two or three ne
gro women. f.lr. Sykes defended the house by
keeping up a fire on tlie assailants, supposed to
he from 25 p*3o in number. The attack was
: commenced at half past 3 o’t'lock P M. and con
tinued till after dark. The house is literally cut
up with bullets.
After dark Mr. Sykes raised a plank from the
\ floor so ns to get out a negro woman whom he
sent to the Springs to notify the men there to
I come to his relief. She succeeded, and a party
I °f nine men reached the house by eleven o’clock. 1
j The Indians had retired. None of the inmates
of the house were wounded, although bullets
J passed through tlie clothes of come of them,
i Mr. Sykes is confident Ire wounded’or killed four.
; On examination next morning at tlie four spots
; pointed out by Mr. H. where he thought the In
| dians wore shot by him, blood was found, indi
| eating some execution was done—and one Indi
tan was found, shot through tho heart. Mr. 8.
! had seven guns in his house. He also states that
1 he is confident he saw a while man with tho In
dians—for he had so fair a view of him as to be
I able to note that he wore blue clothes and a
white hat. The trail of the Indians led into
a hammock near by. A small company had rid
den around it without finding a trail leading ont.
—When Mr. Rossau left tlie springs they were
raising a party strong cnough'to pursue The trail
into the hammock and secure tlie Indians if possi
f\ble.
The inhabitants who had returned to their
homes iu that section (Columbia county) are
agaia abandoning them.
Can it be that there is in existence an inhuman
Devil with the form and lineaments of a white
man, leading on the Indian* to murder his breth
ren and attack their dwellings! then ought the
incarnate fiend to be suspended between Earth
; and Heaven, there to hang till his flesh rots off,
ami his buries shiver in the winds, till blown joint
from point, and scattered over tho earth by the
whirlwind.

COTTON.—Tho constant bad weather that we have
had lately, has caused our receipts to be light, and the
deinivnd being small,makes ourmarket very dull. The
| only d seription that is much sought after is prime, and
j this quality is so scarce that it can only be picked up in
! small lots. Sales on Saturday, of prime, were made as
high as IS 3-4—we now quote 14 1-2 alB 3-4 cents, as the
extremes of the market.

CITY NEWS, Wednesday, P. M.
All the packets which were to sail to-day are de
tained by contrary winds—the weather, however,
has cleared olf this afternoon, and they will, no
doubt sail in the morning.
I here appears to bo some doubt among some of
the papers whether Specie has or liar not boon shipp
ed. W« have ascertained that there have been
shipped about one hundred and fifty thousand Mex
ican dollars, principally to London. Unless Ex
change should fall below ten per cent by the next
packet, there is no doubt considerable shipments
wil l be made. Offers were made to-day to sell Ex
change at 109 i per cent fer the next packet.
This being quarter day, and the usual day for
renting tenements, there is more than usual excite
ment on the subject. Dwellings are wanted, and
there appears to be a deficiency of them, and rents
have advanced. Os Stores there were perhaps a
a surplus built last year and rents have in some sec
tions fallen. Rates, however, are not established.
Stocks have improved again to-day, and Money
is getting easier. Nothing but the fear of Specie
going out of the country will probably effect the Mo
ney market.
Much has been said in relation to the Northern
and Central Bank of England. We give the follow
ing letter, which comes from a biglily respectable
source,
Manchester, 24th Dec. 1836.
We wrote you bv last packet, and since have
your favor of the 30th ult.
We congratulate you on having sold your North
ern and Central Bank shares before you left, as they
were yesterday sold at £2 JOs. discount per share.
Not five months since they could command £7 pre
mium. The reason is overtrading and bad manage
ment. They have had to apply fur aid to the Bank
of England, which on a second application insists
upon their affairs being forthwith wound np, and
which was agreed to by the deputation of directors.
One condition ol'the aid to be granted was that the
Bank of England was to be first paid off, but the
London and Westminister would not agree to this,
as they had a prior promise of security for her ad
vances 0f350,000. The aid is therefore withheld
until this point can be settled, and in the meantime,
the shares to-day have no purchasers at any price.
We fear much inconvenience will result to many
houses from it whs keep their accounts there, and
will now have to pay their balences at shtut notice.
Markets without much change.

Cotton. —Occasionally, since our last, there has
been a dullness in the market in the lower descrip
tions of cotton; but, during the w hole ol the week,
the better qualities have continued in demand. —
They are scarce and seem to he leading to improve
ment in prices. At some periods of the w eek there
were extensive transactions In the common qualities,
many of which have changed hands at prices somo
w hat lower than our quotations. The week, how
ever, has closed with a spirited demand at the figures
we have quoted below. The receipts have been
large, and the sales greater than w o are enuhled.to re

Cotton growth of the United States—ln
only four of the Stoles—Alabama, Mississippi, Lou
isiana, and Florida—has the cultivation of cotton in
creased. The crop m this stale, in the year 1834,
was nearly one third groiter than that of the pre
en ding year. The whole of the crop of the United
States in 1835, was estimated at 430,000,000 pounds
The number of field hands, as correctly as could ho
ascertained, was supposed to be 340,000 —valued at
SBOO each. The total capital invested in the growth
of cotton in the United States, was eslim ited at
sßt 0,000,000. The great increase in the demand ot
slaves, has enhanced their value crortnously, ami
therefore, the above may he considered as falling far
short of the actual value of property invested in the
cultivation of cotton.
