To lift the rye of faith to heaven.

Until the Chris)lan’s pious hope

We doubled the bend which Iho Ohio makes
at Marietta, Isle in the alternant), but with
•uffieiem light to got a good glimpse of the
town. Being prevented by the low stage of
water from making a landing at tlie loot of
the bluff, we run up alongside of a floating
wharf, moored on the edge of the channel!
While the steamer was shipping some goods,
a few of us slatted in the yawl fur shore, and
■found time for a tbroll thro' the principal part
-of lire town. Marietta is a beautiful place,
•both at to its location, its plan o> arrange
ment, and its public and private structures.
The streets am broad and regular, and the
‘pavements are edged with lung lines of trees,
whoso thick, green folia.o gives a cool and
refreshing aspect to the town, as, seen from
ihe river. The elevated bftrtV, on which the
ttuwu ia built,-commands a line view of the
■hroard bay, into which the Ohio expands as it
sweep* round before the town. The river
contracts again below Marietta, and is seen
tor many imlos pursuing a devious courso bo.
tween the forests which encompass it, until .1
•disappears from the sight by one of those
•harp curves, which characterise its course.
The Masking >w [toura its tributary waters
into the Ohio will) great violence, pushing its
course with much turbulence against the
downward current of the sovereign si ream,and
hurling logs and trees into the Ohio, some
thing after the boisterous manner of the Mis
souri, •• it enters the Mississippi.
Marietta is one of the oldest towns in Ohio,
being settled as far back as 1787, under the
auspices of General Putnam. It enjoys a
good location for trade, having access to a
neb back caunlry by the Muskingum, and to
the Southern and Northern marts by the
Ohio. It has progressed slowly, but is now
in an improving state. It lias s x churches, a
manual labor college, a female academy, two
newspaper establishments, a number ot foun
dries, steam mills and engine shops, aod a
bout forty stores. The population is about
£BOO. It lias Iho reputation of having a very
refined and moral society, exemplary cvideti
of which arc seen in its elegant churches, its
large public library, and the taste and beauty
of its private dwellings.
A few miles below Marietta wc passed
Dlenerhassct's Island. We run under the
lee of it, some distance, but the thirb xvo.t"? " n
the river obalruct any view of the interior.
We saw no traces of the beautiful mansion of
Olenerbastet, except a chimney at the north
end of the Island, which ia all (hat escaped
the fire, in which the dwelling was consum
ed. I learn, however, that the shrubbery still
lives on the Island, which was plaited by
Bienerhasset and that many of tlie walks
he laid out are yet open. Blcnorhaisot
waa one of the Irish patriots, who was
compelled to fleo from Ireland after their
attempt to liberate that country from the
thraldom of England. Hu was possessed of
a large amount of properly, the greater part
ot which ho waa fortunate enough to render
available iu money before hm departure.
Disgusted with the corruption of courts,and
the turmoils of political life, he sought retire
ment in the western wilderness, on a beauti
ful Island in the Ohio, then on tho borders of
civilisation. He built a princely mansion un
it, and embellished it in the most costly man
ner. Situated on tho boarders of Virginia,
Kentucky, and Ohio, ho had access to a very
refined and polite society, with which it was
his custom to constantly intermingle, and in
terchange civilties. His hospitality was un
bounded, and dealt out as it was, by his own
chivalric courtesy and'he grace ol his beau
tiful wile, Ins island became the place of gen
neral visit for the splendid revelries and en
tertainmenta of which it was the scene. Ulcu
erhasset was a lino sample of the polished
Irish gcnlleiTan, ami rendered himself a very
affectionate object of regard by tho amenity of
his msnners and disposition.
Hi* lady was a woman of rare beauty and
accomplishments, winch were much heighten
ed by a pure and unimpeachable character.
She reigned tho Queen of tho beautiful king
dom of taste and refinement, which Blotter
hasaet had created un the Ohio,and, according
to contemporary accounts, she deported her
self with a grace and dignity that might well
have become a throne. Shu was a woman of
high apiril and ambition and when Burr,aware
of her commanding influence over her hus
band, confidently entrusted her with his plans
of Mexican dominion, she was fired at the
boldness and intrepidity of his enterprise, and
immediately determined to engage iter hus
band as a confederate. Blenerhsssct was a
man of ductile temper, and was easily in
duced by the dazzling representations of
prospective glory and honor, which his ambi
tious wile set before him. to become a parti
cipant with Burr. He was moreover a liber
alist, of the French school, of which Burr was
veil aware. The gorgeous representation
which Burr held up to him, of Mexico, re
deemed from tyranny, by their united efforts,
fired bis soul and be entered with enthusiasm
into what lie believed an honorable and hu
mane undertaking.
When once pledged to Burr, under the
mastering genius ofTas wife, ho actively en
gaged in enlisting men,building boats and pre
paring the easentiala ol tlie expedition. Ma
ty ot the roost respectable citizens of tho—
neighboring country were connected with the
affair, and all deluded in the same manner
m Bienerhasset. The entertainments on the
Island were broken up, and its shores at night
•choed only to the muffled oar of the conspira
tors, os they crossed from the adjacent bank,
or to the silent tramp of bold adventurers, as
they congregated on the beach to resolve and
discus* their plans of Mexican redemption—
A large number of flat boats had been built oh
the Muskingum, and sent over to the Island,
and every wing was ripe for embarkation,
when the plot waa discovered to the civil au
thorities by one of the accomplices. Ble
oerbasset waa instantly deserted by his lol
towett, aid left alone to brunt the storm.
I Timothy Buct, commander of the mitiii.
with a small detachment, went over to arrest
Blenerhaaaet. He had hardly set foot on Un
u island before he was met by Mrs. Blenerhas
set, whose courage and spirit seemed to rise
with the increasing desperation of her for
tune*.—She had seen (lie party cmiimg, and
snatching up a pair of her btishsnd'e brass
pistols, she ran from (he house to meet them.
Just as the militia major stepped oat of the
boat, she seized him by the shoulder, a.id
thrusting him back, presented two formidable
pistols lull in his face, cocked and primed,
commanding him in the most positive tone
not to advance, —“one step forward, and I
will send you into eternity—it is vasie; lor
me to do than say it,” were her words, accord
ing to my narrator, who was one of the party.
Her splendid figure, drawn up to its full
height, .her eyes fixed with a stern and de
termined g*ac, her hands clenching firmly the
pistols, which she held out at arms length,
told the militia major, in language not to be
mistaken, the terms on which he might ad
vance. Tho old fellow quailed and trembled
before the courageous woman, and was f«rC‘
cd lo return without his victim,
Bienerhasset made hi* oaca, c and is now
living with his Wife in poverty in France. He
brought over to ll.is country a large amount
of money, part of which he invested in his Is
land, but much the greatest part he loaned
out to iifliividuals,living in the vic nitv. Being
forced to flee, without delay, from Ins conn-
Irs, to escape the indictments levied against
linn, had no time to collect his debts, lie left
large amounts in the hands of individuals who
have never returned him a cent, many men
near Marictte have grown rich own money bor
rowed of, but never repaid to Bienerhasset.
Would it not be an object of humanity and
charity fur Itlencrhassel’s debtors, now that
. they are made wealthy by his liberality, in Ins
f day of destitution and distress, to rebind his
money, and to raise him up from the want
g end wretchedness in which he is plunged, to
I, comfortable independence.

* DANK CONVENTION NOTICE.
I In compliance with a resolution of tho
’ Convention of Banks, field iu this place on
'j the first Monday of .September last,the Hecre
j tary has transmitted lo the several Boards of
1 Direction of the Banks in this State, a copy of
' the proceedings of the Convention; and an.
' notinccs the ratification of the same by the
; requisite majority of two-lhir ol the Banks.
According lo the terms of the said resolu
' lion, “mcaguies of the Convention are to he
considered, from this announcement, as in
1 actual operation."

! Milledgeville, October 27, 1827.
BANK CONVENTION.
At a Convention of Delegates of the sever
al Banks of this Htato, held in Milledgeville
| on the 4th and O' It of September, the pro
ceedings of which have since been ratified by
| two-thirds ol said Banks, the following reports
! were adopted, and regulations ns to mtercurse
, with each other, and extension of facilities to
the community recommended,
A commitco of seven, appointed to report
oh the condition us the Banks, as exhibited
by their reports, and also to recommend terms
of intercourse among themselves, submitted
| the following report, which was considered
and adopted:
Whereas, great ombaraasment has exist
ed in Iho moneyed operations of the citizens
of this Slate, and a consequent suspension of
specie payments taken place at most of her
chartered banks. And it being impracticable
lor those institutions to resume the payment
of specie in the pretent deranged statu of the
commerce of the country,our citizens are sub
jected to the evils of a depreciated currency ;
and. 1
Whereas, it has been found by the expori
, ence of the world, that a currency ol gold
and ailver, or of paper easily convertible into
these metals, is indispensable to the prosper!- 1
ly ot the people of every country; and, ,
Whereas, tho chartered banks of-icorgia,
acknowledged a deep rcsposibdily lor the re
sult of t!IC preaenl stale of things, and being i
* willing to give to the productive interest of
the country, and to the skill and enterprise
ol our citizens, a fair opportunity to recover
from Iho embarrassment which now surround
them (without lor a moment overlooking the
necessity of a speedy resumption of specie
, payments) —to give to our people a sound
currency—to foster our commerce—lo obtain
a fair value lor the productions ot the sod,and
. above all, to enable themselves to resume spe
, cie payments at tho earliest day—they enter
j. into the following arrangements :
First. They agree to limit their circulation
. to the amount of their capital paid in, togeth
er with specie they have on hand.
I Secoml, They will publish monthly, during
tha suspension of specie payments, a consoli
dated report of tho condition ot tho Banks
[ which may agree to the proceedings of this
, meeting.
Thiid. To enable themselves to do this,
each bank will send a statement of its coudi
| lion from lime lo time to the Central Bank.
Fourth. They will make settlements with
each other unco a month, and those against
! which balances may remain, shall pay inter
! ost at the rate of 0 per cent, per annum.
Fifth. Tho several Banks now hero rep
resented, and such others as limy come into
the monturcs of this Convention, will re
ceive in payment and on dejiosilo the notes
I ot each other so long as they coni nine in good
credit."
j- Tho following additional resolution was of
fered and adopiod;
j Resolved, That any bank, a parly to (his
agreement, that may issue post notes, shall,
in settlement with other banks, consider them
| as payabc on demand, and redeem them un
’ der the provision ro.ulatiug settlements among
tho banks; Provided, nothing herein contain
. cd shall bo construed into any obligation on
j the part of banks to receive post notes puya
t - ble alter date.
B A committee to consider the subject of resu
ming specie payments, ami of discounts by
g the several Banks ot this Stale, made the ful-
B lowing report, which was received and adopt-
J eJ -
Tho CommitlPo to whom was referred the
’ subjects ol resuming specie payments and
extending discounts, have agreed to the ful-
C lowing report, to which they respcctmlly
ask the concurrence ot Iho Convention.
Tho suspension of specie payments by the
* Banks of thu Slate ot Georgia, however ob
g jcctiunable the course may have been, was a
measure of necessity, and not of choice. Our
banking institutions were as competent as
those of any other State, to redeem their pa-
H per in terms ol their chartered conditions,
when circumstances over wh ch they had no
control, obliged them lo acquiesce, (hough
c with regret, m the measure ot suspension of
| specie payments. Not to have yielded lo the
* pressure of these circumstances, would have
* been in effect, lo waste their strength in vatu
and to have mvo vvd consequences calamitous
7 to every class of out fellow-citizens, who were
® under any pecuniary obligations. This Con
vention does not hesitate to express its con
viction of the ability of the banks represent
ed in it, to do ample justice to the bill holders
’ and depositors. It is the wish of this body
’’ to relieve tho community ot the embarrass
j ment occasioned by'he suspension, as early
as practicable—as evidence of which :
Ue it resolved. That (he banks in Georg is
I will resume specie payments so soon as the
condition ot foreign exchange shill authorize
it, and a general concurrence of the banks in
the tinned State* can be had.
I. Resolved further, That for the purpose of
obtaining this concurrence, this Convention
wi'l send three delegates to represent me ■
Banka of Georgia in the proposed Convcn- '
lion to be held in New York, in the latter end 1
of October ensuing—and that the said dele- 1
gates be instructed to urge upon that Cunven- 1
lion die simultaneous resumption of specie 1
payments by the first day of June n« x', or ear
lier, it practicable. (
Resolved, That the expenses ol said dele
gation lo the New-York Convention be paid j
by the Bmks in Gjorgia, in proportion to (
their cap tal paid in. ,
[ln cunnrxion wiih this branch of their re
port, hejcommillee ask leave lo make a circular t
from the Banks of tho city of New York in ,
relation to a convention, a part of their report ,
which Circular was published in the South- {
cm Recorder of the slh instant.] •
Resolved, That the banks in the Slate of
Georgia ought to consider it as obligatory up
on them to increase their loins for tlie pur
chase ofthe ensuing crop of cotton —and to
effect this object, (bat the several banks in this
State be requested to extend such accommo
dation to the community, as they can very
safely do, hq)d;r»g tncmselvcs able at any
moment to redeem their paper, and preserve
public confidence in such institutions.
The following resolution was proposed and
adopted:
Resolved, That Messrs. Fort, Dcaring, Ha
milton, and Hull, in behalf of this Convention,
prepare an sddreis to the public in relation to
the solvency and general condition of the
Banks of tins State—and give assurance of
I heir desire and intention, to resume specie
payments, whenever the Bunks in the United [
States generally resume.
On motion, tlie Convention proceeded to
appoint their Delegates to tho New-York
Convention, whereupon George Anderson,
Esq. of Savannah, Isaac Henry, Esq. of Au
gusta, and 11. K. Hines, Esq. of Milledgeville,
were appointed.
On motion, it was.
Resolved, That in case of any vacancy in i
the delegation, tlie President of this Conven
tion be authorized lo fill such vacancy.

with Paris journals to the 30lh of September. I
They add nothing of moment to our advices by i

sustained by tho Carlists, which were mentioned i
in the London papers ol the 30th, but which prove
to have been much more serious than was repre- i
settled in those journals. One was the affair of i
Iho 19th September, between Espartero and the j
rear-guard ot Don Carlos ; the other between a
division ol six thousand Carlists, and the force i
under General Oraa, on the 83d, in which the
former were put to the rout with a heavy loss,
i’he army of Don Curios was retreating in haste
and confusion.
Madrid was perfectly tranquil.
Ihe Carlist had been compelled lo evacuate
Valladolid, after a munlcroua engagement.

There is no business doing in the English-Stock

Enulisil Opinions or the Message.— We
confine our extracts from our English files, in this
day's Commercial, almost exclusively to the
comments of the Journals upon Mr. Van Uuron’s
manifest of Loco focoisin. It is evident that they
did not know exactly what to make of it. Still,
wu must do them tho justice to admit that some
of their remarks are shrewd and sensible enough.
The new President’s speech is, like those of
his predecessors in Iho chair, a long and laboictl
production. It is limited to one topic, the late
commercial distress, but, though tho topic is sin
gle, it is beaten out to the length and breadth of
a whole newspaper page, so that, however the
President may have dealt with tho commercial
interests ofhis country, he lias been, like Sir
Peter Teazle, no niggard of Ins advice. The
speech, we understand, lias afforded hut little
satisfaction lo the commercial body. '1 heir ex
pectation of some substantial measure, or at least
of some practical suggestion for the relief of theit
debtors in tho United States, has been answered
by vague theoris, ami, what is still worse, by an
avowed devotion on the part of the first executive
officer, to the principle of a metallic currency in
all its rigor. To enter into anything like a re
view of this speech, would engage us in all the
difficulties and perplexities of the manetary ques
tion. To give an abstract of its opinions and
i arguments would he a useless task, for those who
feel an interest in the subject will be satisfied with
nothing short of the original, and those who do
not feel an interest can never lie inveigled into
. the labyrinth, under the pretence of a short walk
|or an early extrication. The President assures!
j the creditors of his countrymen, that their dc-j
msos. wnl be liquidated in nine. This may he
•atulaclory to Home of ike parties; il may be, ami
no doubt it U, to a certain xtenl, true. But lie ,
•amc parties would rather see their any to some
distinct arrangement for the purpose, than depen'l
upon such general assurance* as the purity ot 1
American honor, and the extent of Americaii i
resource*. One of the curious facts coinmUiitta
ted in the speech, Is the disappearance of the ->ur
plus revenue. All the difficulties about its
disposal are, therefore, at an end. Ho we
suppose, will bo the boastings to which its
existence gator rise upon both sides of the
Atlantic. We conclude by referring to the
speech itself, for those particulars which com
mercial men will read with no small portion of
anxiety at the present time,and under the pecu
liar circumstances which operate upon the two
countries at the present moment.
From theCouncr ( Ministerial)
The message of the Fre.iJenl of the United
Stales to the Cong css, on the assembling of that
body, on the 4th instant, has reached London, and
will be found, like most of the “rC-LLdual messa
ges, 9 document of considerable interest. Il is
confined, however, exclusively to that one subject
•or which the Congress lias assembled, the stale
of the currency in all its bearings. The presi
dent enters into an examination of all the causes
of the late commercial convulsion, and probably
there are few persons who will not agree in the
majority of his views on that point. He gives to
the foreign creditors of the United Stales the con
soling and we believe correct assurance, that the
ultimate payment us their demands does not admit
of a doubt. “They are guaranteed,” he says, “by
the rcsouices of a country, the fruits of whose in
dustry afford ample means of liquidation, and by
the evident interest of every merchant to sustain
a credit hitherto high, by promptly applying these
means for its preservation.” The President nei
ther overrates the resources of his country, nor, we
lielleve, the integrity of her merchants; and, not
withstanding the unaxarnpled convulsion which
they have brought on themselves, they arc like
ly to come out of it without dishonor. The Pres
ident declares positively and distinctly against the
establishment us a national bank, and insists at
consibcrablc length on the propriety of conduct
ing all the trsnsacltons of the stale in the legal
currency. But wo will not give a farther desciip
tion of a document which is likely, wo believe, to
be read by every merchant and pol.tician in the
empire. •
From the Liverpool Chronicle.
In another column will lie found an abstract of
he President’s message, on the opening of anex
ra session of Congress. In the American pa
pers il occupies six folio columns of small print,
but the greater part is comparatively uninleretl
ing to European readers. We have given all that
the President says on the recent commercial dis
organization between England and the United
Htatcs—the causes of which he appears perfectly
conversant with, and they are depicted by him in
a forcible and impressive manner. The new Pre
sident is firm and decided in following out Gen.
Jackson’s policy. Like the old veteran he is re
solutely opposed to a national bank, ami abhors
paper money with as much intensity as his prede
cessor. dlis remarks on banking are distinguish
ed by comprehension and power, hut they will
evidently be unpopular with a great number of
his countrymen. It remains to bo seen whether
president Van liuren can sustain himself against
the storm which bis resolute policy will unques
tionably provoke. The present message will
draw more clearly tho lino of demarcation be
tween the two opposing parlies in America, al
ready fiercely arrayed against each other. The
presidents has been successful in his first divis
ion in the houso _of representatives; the speak
er of his choice having been elected by a small
majority. It is asserted, however, that ho will
bo outvoted in [that houso on the next trial of
strength.
From the Times. (The Chy article.)
Mr. Van Huron’s long expected message for
tho opening of tho extraordinary session of Con
gress, which appeared this morning, has occupied
the attention of men ofhusincss in the city more,
perhapa,than any document of the kind did before,
A belief prevails, but not among a very numer
ous parly, that the policy which il holds forth as
the future course of tho American Government,
may lire averted by a vote of Congress ; but
the mure general impression is, that he will sue
ceed in establishing it, in which case the most
important consequences ate expected to follow it.
As regards the banks in the United States, the
measure of conducting all Government business
through the medium of specie receipts and pay.
merits will compel all those banks who are really
solvent, to resort without delay to specie pay
ment, and all the rest to disappear entirely ; so
that n.Vdead of 700 banks, which was the number
in action infoughoitt the Union at tho breaking
out of the late crisis, roa y probably bo not
more than 100 which arc aM® 1° maintain them
selves under the new slate things. As the
hanks have been tho support ol speculation and
high prices *it is thought that they wi. 1 ' nuw range
generally at a much lower level, and tu ll “'is
must necessarily affect very materially our iff' - .”
trado with that country. It is conceived also
that it must tend, after n short time, to direct
specie thither. Whether it will improve the po
sition of those merchants who have failed through
their transactions with tho United States, and
whose creditors depend upon the returns from
thence, is a point much debuted. Mr Van llurcn
seems to hold out hopes of a complete solvency,
but this is spoken in a national sense, rather
than of individuals who have yielded to the cri
sis, and il is to ho feared therefore, that their
prospects cannot bo much mended hy the general
establishment of specie payments and low prices.
Another conclusion to which many have come
in considering this question is, that the banking
system throughout Europe must bo affected in a
greater or less degree by the example set in Ame
rica, and that those countries where tho sapor
system exists in full force, can only protect
themselves against its consequences hy guarding
with the most jealous care against any over issues

Tits Bank of Esotisn. — We stated some
lime since that tho Bank of England were about
to despatch ono or two gentlemen to tho United
States, for the purpose of co operating with the
three great American firms hero in the liquida
tion of fficro afiairs, and such was simply tho
truth; hut this was a measure, in tho adoption of
which the directors wore in|no way influenced by
the counsel of Captain Stockton. Tho suspended
houses have all of them reprcsclativcs in the
United Slates. Messrs. Shaw and Wilson, of
the firm of Thomas Wilson & Co.; Messrs.
Wilds and Pickcrsgill, of the firm of Thomas
Wilson & Co.; and Mr. Wiggin, a brother of tho
chief partner in that of Timothy Wiggin & Co.
are at the present time at New York; and as it
is of the utmost importance that these gentlemen
