AUGUSTA HERALD." TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, ist7. EUROPEAN Intelligence of a late date reached us by the last mails, sUeh articles as we considered most interesting, we have selected for this day’s paper—our selections will be continued in a future Herald. The following gentlemen are appointed di rectors of the Branch Bank of the United States, to be established in this city : James Gardner, John M‘Kiune, John Cormick, Albert Brut, Alex. M‘K.enzie, Freeman Walker, Adam Hutcheson, Wil liam White, Peter Beunoch, Jess-e Watson, Fieldiug Bradford, Jacob Dauforth, Lewis C. Cautelou, K. Wilde, Cashier. From Amelia Island.— Latest. geni>emau who left Feruandiua on the 16tu lust, informs us, that the Florida Fat riots hid beeii in a stale of great confusion for some days before he left the Lslaud, and it was not expected that matters would be settled immediately. The French party, un der Commodore Ay uy, with his ***** troops, on one side ; and Governor sheriff Hue baud, with all the Americans, and the greatest part of the seamen, oil the other, are at opeu war; and it was the general ex pectation that blood would be shed before the commotiou ended. Such was the instabili ty of the government, that new Councils were formed every two or three days : On the 13th, an arrangement was entered into which excluded the Military entirely from po*|er; and there was no doubt that this Counuil would he overturned soon by the Military, who, in their turn, would exclude the civiliaus of this rising empire from all participation in the administration. For the last three days the parlies were actually in arms r,gainst each other ; and it is impossi ble, even on the spot, to conjecture what a week or a day may bring fn.th. Strong re inforcements were hourly expected by both sides ; and should Commodore Chimplain go in, who was off St. Mary’s Bar, with three or four sail of vessels, the American party expected to carry the day ; if not, Commodore Auay, with his veterans, will probably keep ihe upper hand. [Charleston Cour. From Amelia. We learn, that a disturbance of a very se rious uature has taken place between commo dore Aury and governor Hubbard—.the form er wishing to place his troops over the troops of Irwin, which would not tie allowed —in consequence of this, Aury has drawn up his troops and threatens to put his orders in to effect by force of arms—Colonel Irwin, it is said, will resist every tiling of the kind—lt is feared blood will lie spilt before the matter can be adjusted—Several prizes were off Amelia bar—business in consequence of (he difference between Aury and the governor and Colonel Irwin was completely at a stand. [Sur. Ftpublican. Latest from Amelia. We have seen a gentleman who left Ame lia Island on the 20th inst. who informs us that governor Hubbard died on Sunday last, of a fever, after a few days’ illness ; and that the greatest confusion reigned on the island. It was not known when our in formant left Amelia, who would succeed Hubbard, or how matters would be arrang ed. Two prizes and a privateer from the coast of Africa went into Amelia on Satur day last. Large quantities of prize goods were to have been sold last week; but in consequence of the disturbance between Aury and Irwin, the sale was put off. [lbid. The following proclamation of the Authori ties of Amelia, will no doubt be deemed important by the neighboring planters : Proclamation. It has been resolved by the Supreme Junta or Council of State— -Ist. That any person or persons who shall be convicted of persuading any slave or slaves to runaway from the United States, or any other place whatsoever, shall, on con viction of the same, forfeit and pay for the first offenee one hundred doll ars and be im prisoned for a term not exceeding thirty days; and for the second offence forfeit and pay three hundred dollars and be banished from the country. 2d. Resolved that any fugitive slave or slaves taken up shall be kept in jail until claimed by his, her or their owners. 3d. Resolved that all slaves coming to this city for employment, shall have a written permit from their owners. Government House , Ft -nandina, Oct. 8, 1817. (Signed) W. P. YONGE, Secretary. Gazette. A Steam-Boat has been launched at Que bec of 310 tons. Her engine is 28 horses power.—Another Steam-Boat was on the stocks nearly ready to be launched. The brig Salus. Penn, belonging to Liv erpool, took fire while Ijiug at the wharf at ■ Quebec, and burnt to the water’s edge, with about hall'her cargo of salt anu coal. The Steam-Boat Phoenix, upon Lake Champlain. met with an accident which will .detain her six or eight days—The force of Jlie Steam opened a crack in the boiler winch enlarged until the boiler was ealiaust xd of il* .water. ft \ It is a singular fact, that the trial by jury, i n civil actions, should nst have taken place in Scotland until the last year, the first in stance of the kind having occurred in Janua ry, 1816, at Edinburgh—lt is two centuries since the crowns of England and Scotland were united in James the Ist. and one centu ry sinee the complete political union of the kingdoms under one legislative as well as ex ecutive power—That so important a part of the English system, as the trial by jury, should not have found its way into Scotland uutil this late period, is truly extraordiuary. Ecclesiastical Promotion. Monsieur de Talleyrand, after hav ing rung all the changes in political music, and acted the part of Prime Minister to all or nearly all the different parties and factions ru France, through every stage of their bloody Revolution, from its early period, to its con summation by the downfai of the Grand Usur per and Tyrant, lias been appointed a Cardi nal ! It would be very amusing to see a cat alogue of his peculiar qualifications for this high station in the Catholic Church—ls his Holiness had demanded of him, when he was presented as a candidate, a history of his reli gious experiences, we think the narration, if honestly and faithfully made, would have been singular, and not a little entertaining Oue Apostolic practise he seems to have adopted, at least in his political career—he became all things to all men , not perhaps so much with the expectation of gaining some, as the hope of gaining something —As it can not, in the course of things, be a great while before the chair of the Holy-Sea must be come vacant, we presume this devout Minis ter of Religion will direct his unassuming views towards that elevated place—ln some points of view, he has strong inducements to this course, aside from the mere gratification of his ambition —As Pope, we presume he would he able to absolve eimple Mons. Peri gord from his frailties iu this wicked world —an affair of no small importance, we should think, to his eminence. [JV*. York ddv.
