those very masters and consignees, who are said to prefer such a mode of loading their vessels in Savannah, adopt the same method in the port of New York, we can hardly avoid the inference, that it is a matter of disagreeable necessity, of which “one interested'’ like a philosopher as he is, would fain make the best. In this we commend his spirit, and confess we might endeavor to imitate it were there proper occasion. It is well known that the loading of vessels in Savannah river, in fresh water and surrounded by marshes, is a great matter of dread and of danger to the master and sail ors of any vessel, from June to October, from its unavoidable exposure of their health, and it is also well known, that it has been found necessary to subject those vessels to: quarantine in Northern ports, to avoid the I possible contagioh of the fevers that may have 1 been contracted there. The fact, therefore, that there is no large fresh water river coming into the sea at Brunswick, is the very circum stance that will eventually give it the prefer-, ence to all Southern ports. There is no body j of fresh Water within twelve miles to engen der miasma and fever. There is no large riv- 1 er to bring down in its freshets masses of silt and mud from the interior to form shifting bars in its harbor, while at the same time it is suffi ciently near such a river to establish a com munication with it, and by means of it; with the interior of Georgia and with the West. But we find the most perfect answer to the advocate of the excellence of Savannah har bor, in the following advertisement of the ‘Pu laski,’ which we take from the very paper con , taining the communication of “one interested.” Pulaski. On account of ■upstate of the tide, the PULASKI lias been pibliged to drop down below the wrecks pre vious tq the time of her departure, but the steamboat Florida has been engaged to take her passengers down. She will leave Taylor’s wharf, precisely at six o’clock this morning, my 30 F. So tut el. We are bold to say that the “Steamer Pu laski,” to which we wish all success, and hope to see here some day, could leave the wharf at Brunswick at any stage of the tide, on any day of the year, and proceed to sea without diffi culty or delay. FROM WASHINGTON. Our latest dates are to the 29th ult. Dur ing the past week but little of interest has ta ken plaie at Washington, much of the time of Congress having been confined, in the tran saction of private business. We observe that on the 28th ult. three hundred bills fur the ad justment of private claims were transmitted from tie House to the Senate. The Naval Appropriation Bill lias finally passed the Sen ate, inchding the appropriation for the explor ing expedition, to defeat which great efforts have been made by senior naval officers, who were jealous that one of the rank of Lieuten ant Wilkes should have the command. It may now be considered as decided that this expedition will sail, and under its present or ganization, with an energetic and accomplish ed commander we entertain the strongest ex pectations of its success in enlarging our mar atirne discoveries and of affording valuable j contributions to science. Mr. Clay’s resolu tion that the Government should, iu payment of the public dues, receive the currency of the country and disburse it to such of its creditors j as were willing to receive it, has been lost by a vote of2B to 19. The Secretary of War re ported to the Senate that lie had received no answer to his communication to the Cherokee Delegation, (published in another part of this paper,) but that John Ross anil another chief had assented to its terms. In the House, a message was received from the President, acknowledging, that in some papers which he bad.transmitted to it, relating to the admission of foreign tampers, he had inadvertently included somqfery indecent flections upor. the Mayor/of the city of New York, published# 1 ' CiTe “Truth Teller”!! a low Van Buren, print. The papers in question were accordingly withdrawn. iTm Secretary of War reports to the House 'that he shall require one million and eighty thousand dollars to complete the arrangements j which he has negotiated with the Cherokee j delegation. This appropriation is now under consideratirn, and maybe expected to elicit; the most interesting debate. A correspond- j encc between the Secretary of State and the i British Minister was presented to the House. In this, the British Government were invited on its part to appoint Commissioners to run the line of tie North Eastern boundary, according to the terms of the treaty, as the State of Maine Inclined its assent to a conventional; line. the British Mifnstjw declined the ne gotiation proposed, before consulting his gov- j ernmeflt. Anti Slavery and Cherokee peti tions,mve been presented Ue past week as | Usual, and as usual laid upon tiii table. Caress has not yet determneil upon its j flay bf adjournment, which, liowivcr cannot well take place before the first week in July,! combing'he urgent business, rearing to 1 the appropriations and to the Cherokee: yet to ! be passed upon. Wf.st. The Mobile Examiner of wi o4‘i ; inst. says: “This morning, about 8 o’cloci { VV-M.IAM recently commu te; extensive forgeries in Baltimore, was ar rt,te<l by Marshal Cocke. He came to the cv in the steamboat Arkansas, under the as aimed name of B. Brown. ,Since his appre lcnsion he has avowed that his intention was o proceed to 1 cxa«. CHEROKEE REMOVAL W e mentioned, in our paper of last week, that developments had been made at Wash ington, by which, to the surprise of every Georgian, it appeared, that the removal of the Indians was to be delayed for two years. We I now give below the official documents, upon ; which those statements were founded. These j consist, Ist, of the Secretary of War’s letter to i the Cherokee Delegation, and 2d, of the same Secretary’s letter of instructions to General Scott. We have hardly as yet recovered from our astonishment at reading these documents.— Whatever the Secretary may say, and what ever the Globe may say, they prove conclu sively that the Government have, most un gracefully, backed off the high ground they had assumed in relation to the execution of this treaty. What now becomes of General Scott’s high-sounding address of May 10th, to the Cherokees, announcing to them that they must remove. This continuous removal for two years that is now talked of amounts only to an admission that the treaty is naught, or that the Government doubt their power to en force it. It still remains to be seen, whether Georgia will submit to this pusillanimous pol icy, and we trust an extra session of the Leg islature will be called, to express her opin ions in regard to it To Messrs. John Ross, Edward Gunter, R. Taylor, Jas. Brown, Samuel Gunter, Situ waher, Elijah Hicks, and White Bath, ('herokee Delegation. The undersigned has attentively considered tiie project of a treaty submitted by you, and, although equally desirous with yourselves to satisfy that portion of the nation that remain east of the Mississippi, and to offer them ev ery inducement to remove peaceably and con tentedly to their new homes in the West, and not unwilling to grant most of the terms pro posed by you, still, where the rights and just expectations of sovereign States are involved, it is deemed inexpedient, without tiieir con sent, to give to any stipulations which affect them the form of a solemn treaty. In the first article you desire to stipulate and agree that “the said Cherokee nation, par ty hereto, engages and stipulates to remove from all the lands now occupied by them east ward of Mississippi, and hereby renounces and relinquishes to the United States all claim of every description to such lands: such removal to be commenced at the earliest convenient period and to be fully completed within two years from this date; to be effected by the Cherokees themselves and by their agents, and the entire expenses of such removal to he de frayed out of the money to be paid by the U nited States, as hereinafter provided.” As has been before observed, the Government of the United States could not agree to this act without the consent of the States whose rights are involved, and whose interests may be af fected by this stipulation; but the Executive pledges itself to use its best efforts to induce them to abstain trim pressing their claims in a manner that would produce loss or inconve nience to the Cherokee people, and would be inconsistent with their being removed with ev ery reasonable comfort. From the well known humanity and generous character of the States of Georgia, Alabama, and North Caro lina, there can be no doubt of their granting every indulgence which the interests of hu manity require; and if two years are necessa ry for the comfortable removal of the nation, the undersigned will venture to assure the del egation that their request w ill be granted. If it be desired by the Cherokee nation that their own agents should have the charge of their emigration, their wishes will be compli ed with, and instructions be given to the com manding General in the Cherokee country to enter into arrangements with them to that ef fect. With regard to the expense of this op eration, which you ask may be defrayed by the United Stales, in the opinion of the under signal, the request ought to be granted, and an application for such further sum as may be re quired for this purpose shall be made to Con- gross. In the next article of your project, you pro pose that “the United States, on their part, stipulate and agree, in consideration of the premises, to perfect the title of the Cherokee nation to the lands and territory westward of the Mississippi, described, mentioned and de fined in and by the treaty of lrCi'J, between the United States and the Cherokees west of the Mississippi, and the privilege of outlet thereto annexed, and to issue a patent there for to the Cherokee nation in perpetuity; and further to pay the said chiefs and representa tives of the Cherokee nation east of the Mis sissippi, the sum of dollars, in manner and at the time hereinafter provided.” It was always the declared intention of the Government to perfect the title of this land to the Cherokee nation, and to issue a patent therefor, so soon as that portion of them now east of the Mississippi had emigrated west, granting the nation the privileges secured to them by former arrangements. Nor will it object to grant them in perpetuity, if Congress should think proper to do so on their recom mendation, under certain restrictions, to which the delegation have assented. As the delega gation expressed their fears that a form of Government might he imposed which they were neither prepared for nor desirous of, the assurance is hereby repeated, that no form of government will be imposed upon the Chero kees without the consent of the whole nation, given in council; nor shall their. country be created into a territory without such previous concurrence. With regard to the payment of a further sum of money by the United States, the nn l dersigned cannot Consent to recommend such a a measure to Congress. The Senate of the United States deliberately decided that five millions of dollars was’a full and sufficient indemnity to the Cherokees for the lands they relinquished on the east side of the Mississip pi; and it is understood that the members of that body see no reason at . present to alter that decision. i In the third article of your project you ask that “the said Cherokee nation, party hereto, | hrough, and by their acknowledged chiefs j auj officers, shall have the entire control, I [ matagement, and disposition, responsible only j to tii\j r own nation, of the funds to be paid j under\jiis treaty.” I The would very much prefer ' i making t\s disposition of the funds of the na ! tion, but ae the interests of those Cherokees BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. who have lately emigrated, are deeply involv ed in this proposition, the Executive cannot recoawiiend such an alternative without the prevTßs consent of all the parties concerned. The next article asks, “that in addition to the said sum mentioned in the foregoing sec ond article, the United States shall forthwith pay, or arrange to be paid to the Cherokee na tion, party hereto, the arrearages of the annu ities which were provided for in the treaty of 1819, up to this date, and shalb continue such annuities during the two years allowed for said removal.” The undersigned assures the delegation, that whatever arrearages of annuities are due to the Cherokee nation, under the treaty of 1819, shall be promptly paid up to this date, and a continuance of that annuity for two years longer shall be asked of Congress. The oth article requires “that inasmuch as the Cherokees contemplate removing as pro vided for in said first article, as rapidly as their numbers and engagements will permit, the United States stipulate and engage to pay to them, as such removal, and the nescssary preparations therefor progress, out of the mo ney mentioned in said second article, such sums as may from time to time be necessary to defray the expenses incident thereto.” Ali payments and necessary’ advances for the purpose herein set forth, will be liberally provided for in the contract which the com manding general will be authorized to make with the Cherokee agents, for the emigration of that portion of the nation east of the Mis sissippi. The (Ith article asks, “that during the period prescribed and allowed by this treaty’ for said removal, the United States stipulate and con tract to protect the persons and property of said Cherokees from all acts of encroachment and violence, and to furnish them, when re quired, with the necessary escort and protec tion during such removal until their arrival at their destination beyond the Mississippi.” The necessary escort and protection during the removal of the Cherokees until their arriv al at their destination beyond the Mississippi will be furnished, and the United States will protect the persons and property of the said Cherokees from all illegal acts of encroach ment and violence, and will use their best ef forts with the States interested to prevent their pressing the execution of their rights in a manner calculated to oppress or inconve nience any individual of the nation. In the Bth article the request is made,“That in addition to the moneys herein before stipulit ed to be paid by the United States, they fur ther agree to pay to the said Cherokee nation, party hereto, the gross sum of dollars, in full discharge of all claims upon the Unit ed States, under the stipulations of former treaties, for public and private property, spolia tions, indemnities, and other reclamations whether national or individual, and for re-iin bursement of expenses incurred in and about this arrangement.” Six hundred thousand dollars was set apart for this purpose by a vote of Congress, and to defray the expenses of the removal of the na tion to their new bi nes. But ns this sum proves to be inadequate for both objocts, the Executive will recommend to Congress to make a further appropriation, in order to satis fy them. The undersigned trusts that the Cherokee delegation will see in these liberal concessions the earnest desire of the President to recon cile the nation to the necessity of removing without any other delay than a due regard for their comfort and convenience demands; and in this conviction, confidently relies upon the cordial co-operation of the chiefs and head men to efieet this desirable object. On the part of the Government, copies o£ this document, with suitable applications to the States interested, will be immediately transmitted to the several Governors thereof; instructions will be sent to the commanding general to act in conformity with its isurunces and a communication be made to Congress, asking the consent of that body to the provi sions proposed for the benefit of the Cherokee nation. The undersigned, in closing this communi cation, which has been considered with great deliberation, and drawn with the utmost regard for the wishes of the delegation, desires it to ba distinctly understood that it contains the most liberal terms the Executive can grunt, with a due regard to the rights and interests of all the parties concerned ; and therefore presents it as the final determination of the Government, and the peremptory conclusion of the correspondence with the Cherokee dep utation on this subject. J. R. POINSETT. Depart:.!*: nt of War, May IS, lrißH. [oT-Ttri A!..] Com/ of a Idler from the Secret art/ of Hur lo .Major (lateral Scott , dated Department or War, May 23, I*:K Sin: You will receive, herewith, a co py of proposals made by the Department to the Cherokee delegation now in this city, which, it is believed, will be accept ed bv them. You are, therefore, hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with the agent of the nation for the re moval of their people. The expenses at tending the emigration of the Cherokees are now fullv ascertained bv past experi ence, and it is presumed you will litid no difficulty in making such an arrangement as, while it will i.ectire their comfortable removal in the manner most agreeable to their chiefs and head men, will effectual ly protect the interests of the United Stales, and prevent all unnecessary delay or useless expenditures. Whether the removal of this people is to be continued by the military force un der your command, or to be conducted by their own ngents, care must be taken that it be carried on continuously, and as speedily as may be consistent with their health and comfort. It must commence in that part of the territory which lias been granted or sold by the States to whose jurisdiction it belongs, in order that the several proprietors Tis the land may bcfmt in possession of their estates with as little delay as possible. These proposals have been laid before Congress for the purpose of*obtaining such legis lative provisions as they require; but it is not intended thereby to retard the execu tion ot the treaty, and you will pursue the measures you have already adopted, until the agents of the nation arc ready to take charge of the future emigration |of their people; nor will you then permit any unnecessary delay in their operations. Very respectfully, vour ob’t servant, J. R. POINSETT. Major General Winfield Scott, Athens, Tennessee. LATEST FROM THE CHEROKEE COUNTRY. We take the following from the Augusta Constitutionalist, which gives intelligence jlroin the Cherokee country to Monday, 28th ult. At that da.o it did not appear what course Gen. Scott would pursue on the receipt of his I letter of instructions from Washington : < Mi the 2(jth of last month—May—Gen Scott gave orders to commence the operations of gathering the Indians within the State of Georgia. In compliance with this order, up wards of2oo Indians were assembled at Eclio to at 10 o’clock, A. M., on the 27th. The same number were assembled at a post near Cass ville at noon ; 300 at the Sixes’, on the morn ing of the 28th ; and .'SOO at Fort Buffington, (5 miles east of Canton ;) and it is probable that upwards of 2000 were assembled at those places bv the night of the 28th. The Indians were collected by the troops—seemed reluc tant to leave their homes, but made no resis tance. It must be observed, however, that hut few young men, or warriors, were among those brought in. Gen. Scoti had given or ders to send the Indians immediately to the a gency at Calhoun’s, or Landing. CHEROKEES IN THE FAR WEST. We take the following extract, from a let ter of John Ridge, the Cherokee Chief, dated 7tii May last, as illustrative of the prosperous condition of the Cherokees who have emigrat ed to the West. South Lee, Berkshire Cos. .Muss. .Men/ 7, 1838. Mv Fkik.no: While 1 was in New York, I received your kind letter of 25th ultimo, in an swer to mine, for which 1 am greatly indebted to you. It was my desire to have visited Washington, in order to have the pleasure of a personal interview with you, and also to see the result of the great Indian hill, now in a course of discussion in the Senate; but the period I have set apart to return to mv coun try is the first of June, and I have but a short time to spend among my wife’s relations. I did not write as fully as the interesting subject oftlie Cherokee removal, anil the na ture of the country, demanded, as I then be lieved I should see you. Now you will allow me to relate my opinion of our country in the W est, and the situation of our people. The treaty is so liberal in its provisions for the comfortable removal of the Cherokees, that 1 have heard no complaints on that head, but the highest satisfaction. Those who went by w ater in steamboats in the spring of the year passed with so much despatch, that most ot them planted corn, and raised considerable crops. You know that good and exemplary Christian, Mr Charles Moore. He said that lie planted in the month of June, and raised a greater crop of beans, pumpkins and corn,than he ever did in Georgia under the most favora k»lo oiremnstaiices. He said that “the land in the West was so rich that he could compare it to nothing else than a fattened Jiog, which was so fat that he could not get up.” 1 have trav eled extensively in that country—once, from my residence, near the corner of Missouri and Arkansas, to Fort Smith, through Flint dis trict, w here I had the pleasure of beholding fine springs of water, excellent farms, and comfortable houses and mills, and mission I school.}, belongin'' to tho (Jhcrokeos, and ev ery evidence of prosperity and happiness was to be seen among the Cherokccs as a people. I saw a number who had previously arrived, and who arrived since 1 had, and I heard but one sentiment —that they were happy and con tented in their now country. Indeed, the soil is so exceedingly rich and well timbered, anil the navigation of the Arkansas river affords them superior commercial advantages to what they enjoyed in the East. I joked with the people, and asked them if they would return to Georgia, even if they could he re-establish ed in their ancient rights and location in tint I country? They invariably said, no, by no I means! Nothin:* would induce them to re ! turn. Hut they sincerely wished that the eyes |of their countrymen might he opened, and j break from the delusions of John itoss and ! his political tools, and escape to this good | land. Resumption of Kpf.cik Payments at the Son'll. On the 22d and 2Bd tilt, a con vention of the Hanks of South Carolina and Georgia was held at Charleston, at which near ly all the Banks of those States were repre sented. It was unanimously “Resolved, That the Banks represented in this Convention will resume the payment of their ifotes in specie, at or before the first day of January next.” We may therefore hope, by another season, to be freed from the curse of an irredeemable i paper currency. CHARLESTON EIRE. In the South Carolina Legislature a hill has been reported for authorising a loan of two millions of dollars on the faith of the State for the purpose of rebuilding the burnt district of ! Charleston. The proceeds of this loan are to jbe deposited in tho Bank of South Carolina ! and loaned to such applicants as will build in ; the burnt district. Wo are happy to learn j that this most liberal and judicious measure I will probably be carried into effect. By the Charleston Mercury of the 2d inst. we regret to perceive that incendiaries are at work. Deliberate attempts to fire the city were discovered on the night ot Friday last | and also on the previous night. Steamer Pulaski's Challenge. Weare happy to observe the course pursued bv the owners of this boat, which indeed entitles them to tho confidence of the public. While thev have passengers on board, they remember their duty' to the public, and will allow no rac ing. But thev now challenge the Georgia to a special race of eighty.miles, on any day the challenged may name, from tho Charleston bar to Tybee, for five thousand dollars a tide, which sum is staked by four of the Stock- holders of the Pulaski. They thus propose to test the relative speed of the boats, without danger or alarm to their passengers. FROM FLORIDA. The accounts from Florida, and the specu lations of the newspapers in regard to the war are so contradictory, that we can hardly an nounce that we have any thing new. On the one hand we hear that the Indians, as the sea son advances, are becoming bold and im pudent.—that the express riders from Tampa are always fired upon and frequently killed, — and then by the same mail we are informed that Alligator and 317 Indians have come in—that the war is over, and that all the rest of the Indians will come in in the course of the summer. In relation to this matter, we j are inclined to adopt the following opinions j which we copy from the St. Augustine Herald: “In the early part of the week, w'e under stand a letter was received from Tampa, stat ing that Alligator had returned to Pease Creek, with about 300 more Indians, and it > was expected that the number would be in- | creased 100 more in a short time. The war j was considered pretty well ended at Tampa, j nnd but few more Indians remain out. “In relation to the above, there are two or three facts which present themselves. “First—lt is said that a temporary peace has been negotiated with the Indians, and they have kindly consented to suffer our troops to retire into ‘summer quarters,’ and have magnanimously promised to remain peaceable and quiet south of a certain line. In view of this temporary arrangement, have not Alligator and his 300 Indians come in— to draw rations ? “Next—By the estimate of Lt. Harris, the Seminole nation consisted of about 3000 In dividuals. One half of these were consider ed hostile, mm could not possibly furnish a force of more than 300 warriors. But time lias proved that they were all hostile, and af ter more than two years fighting, ne cannot learn of more than about 1000 Indians having been captured, and shipped out of the Terri tory. How near is the war ended, when there yet remains 2000 Indians in the Territory ? “Again—The idea circulating at the pres ent time that the war is ended, is injurious. “The people receive false impressions from erroneous official statements. A iarge force is as necessary as ever for the protection and secur ity of the country; and under the idea that the ‘war is pretty well ended,’ they will return to their plantations at the risk of their lives.— This is no time to be harping upon the oft struck string, ‘the war is ended.’ Is tiiere no sinister design in thus setting afloat this dan gerous idea?” (T/*As an act of justice to the parties in terested, we publish the following note, in re lation to the record of the commitment of Charles L. Barritt, at Darien. The paper which wo inserted was in its nnliiro un official document, and as such we published it, dis claiming all knowledge of the circumstances to which it related: j “Vo the lid it or of the Darien Telegraph: 1 Dear Sir:—Having cecn a publication in the Brunswick Advocate, Savannah Georgian, land Republican, in which it is stated, that, the | decision w-aa “unanimous” concerning the case [of the State vs. Charles L. Barritt, I would 1 wish it to he understood, that I did not consent to such a publication—for I objected to Mr. Snow’s supplementary affidavit, unless Mr. Thomas Maguire was permitted to cross-ex amine him; 2d!y, I deny the right of the Court to decide the case manslaughter; 3d!v, I deny the right of the Court to compel Bar ritt to pay costs before trial; and 4thly, I could not. have sanctioned the publication, for it is well known that Barritt was to give security in the sum ot $2,500: and of seven securities named, six of whom signed in Court, and if each was hound in SSOO, us stated, the securi ty would be $3,500. I made these objections in mv place on the Bench, and it was not un til after the minutes were signed that 1 per ceived the word “unanimous” inserted therein. Rcspectfullv, A. li. I’OWELL, J. I.C. M. C.” OjT’We have the following from the cor resjMmdent of the Charleston Mercury who writes from Washington under the date of 29th ult. Many of these rumored changes are also reported by other authorities : It is now quite certain that Mr. Woodbury will leave the Treasury Department very soon, perhaps in a few days, and will be succeeded by Mr. Amos Kendall. Mr. K. will no doubt he an efficient officer, hut he is far from being popular. It would be quite impossible, how ever,'for the President to put any one in that office who would give less satisfaction to eith er party than Mr. Woodbury has done. Other changes are talked of. Mr. Poinsett, it is said, is to take the Navy, w hile the War Depart ment will be given to Mr. A. Stephenson.— Mr. Buchanan is talked of for the State De partment, in the room of Mr. Forsyth, who is to have a foreign mission. It is quite uncer tain who will have the General Post Office. Mr. Grundy is certainly very illy qualified for the station, and there are strong objections to Gov. Hill, who is also talked of for that office. Mr. John Y. Maun of Virginia, now a judge! in that State, and formerly a member of the House, is to be Attorney General in the place of Mr. Butler, who w ill resign very soon. Coronation Ceremonies. The ceremo nies of the approaching coronation of Queen Victoria, seem to attract the greatest attention, and many of our countrymen are crossing the Atlantic, to be present at the ceremony. It is said that more than two hundred have left New N or!: in the packets of the last month, with no other purpo^'v„;uid that many, more are yet to follow. We give below the ceremo ny of swearing allegiance, as practised at the last coronation. It*is said that the part of the form, which requires the kisses of five hundred peers, is not very agreeable to the young queen! Probably it is not, —a s many of them arc old and ugly. When the Lords Spiritual had perform ed homage, the Duke of Cumberland j ascended the stepS of the throne, and, kneeling before the king, pronounced forj 'himself and the other Dukes oftlie Blood Royal the words of homage:—“ I, Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, do become your ; liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship, and faith and truth I will bear unto you, to lire and die against all manner of folks. Sa belp me God.” The Duke of Cumberland then touched the Crown on his Majesty’s head, and kissed his Majesty’s left cheek; the rest ol the Dukes of the Blood Royal doing the like after him, and tfad^etiring. The Dukes and other Peers then observed the same ceremony— the senior of each degree pronouncing the words of homage, and the apst of the same degree successively touclmig his Majesty’s crown, and kissing his Majesty’s left cheek, and then retiring. The anointing is apart of the ceremony more recommended by antiquity than delicacy, and will probably be omitted altogether. , The Intelligencer (Washington) of Friday last says:—“We understand that j Gen. Hunt, the Envoy from Texas, left this city for Texas on Wednesday last, i without a purpose of immediate return. | Fairfax Catlett, Esq. has been left Charge j d’Affaires in the interim.” The same paper announces that—“ The j Prince de Joinviile, attended by several j French officers, arrived in this city yester j day afternoon, in the mai! steamer Syd -1 ney, by the way of Richmond, in Vir ginia &.C.” | Os tiie Prince the Madisonian observes: ; —“The young Prince, the third son, and I sixth child of Louis Philippe, King of the | French, was born 14th Oct. 1818, and is i therefore about the same age, his royal ! sire was, when (driven into exile by the French revolution) he landed on our | shores—but with what different feelings! | and with the perspective of what a differ j ent future' Truth is indeed strange — stranger than fiction.”—[Savannah Geor gian.
