AUGUST A HE HALL).
TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1831.
We have seen a gentleman (says the
Montgomery Republican of the SOth
ult.J who left Pensacola on the 17th
inst. who informs us that lie met Tien.
Jackson, on the same day, in company
with the fourth regiment, within fifteen
miles of the town, which he was to take
immediate possession of the commission
ers on the part of Spain having arrived,
in the Hornet, as noticed in our last.
No mention was made of Capt. Reads
health, which induces us to believe the
northern editors are under a mistake
on that subject.
The Directors of the Bank of the
United States, have declared a Divi
dend of one and a half per cent, for the
last six months.
No less than six editions of the works
of Voltaire and Rousseau are at this
time in course of publication in Paris
—and they are all attended by suc
cess.
The demand for books in Spain is i
prodigious, and has kept the presses
of Paris in unexampled activity for
some months past.
Mr. John Lewis Krimmel has been
employed by sundry gentlemen of Phila
delphia to execute an historical pointing
of the landing of William Penn and his
companions at New Castle, on the 24th !
of October, 1682. The artist is allow
ed eighteen months to finish the picture,
which is to be six feet in height an d
nine feet in breadth.
After an exhibition of the same six
months in the city of Philadelphia, for
the benefit of Mr. Krimmel, it is to be
presented by the subscribers to the ,
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
A Juror'j Excuse.— At the London
Sessions on the 4th Dec. on the names
of the gentlemen summoned to serve
on the Petit Jury being called over,
one claimed to be excused, on th e
ground that lie had only been married
the day before, and was by no means in
a fit condition to deliberate upon a jury.
The court seemed to be startled at this
novel objection ; but upon a moment’s
consideration, they allowed it to be a
good one, and excused the individual,
A Louisville Kentucky, paper of the
15th June says, that specie is selling in
that place at ah advance of from 45 to
46 per cent, and United States Bank
bills at 48 per cent, when payable in
Common wealth or Kentucky Bank
paper.
The Grocers of New-York have had
a meeting, and agreed to follow the
example of the Dry Goods and Ilard
f Ware Merchants, relative to purchas

OP BONAPARTE.
The last advices from St. Helena
were to the 31st of March. At that
time Bonaparte was indisposed ; but not
to such a degree as to cause the slightest
apprehension for his life.
In the case of the death of Bonaparte
at St. Helena, his body is to be embalm
ed, and sent to England, to satisfy the
world that no violence has been inflict
ed upon him. [Boston Centinel.
In NeW-England, they are bring
ing Judges to Judgment. A Judge of
Massachusetts was lately cashiered;
and a number of citizens of Grafton
county, New-Hampshire, have prayed
for the impeachment of their Judge of
Probate.—Their complaint is, that his
conduct is seriously alarming to all
« who have had the misfortune to live or
die within his jurisdiction."
Mew-Hampshire Salaries recently
fixed. —Governor, R 12,00. Secretary,

We observed, by an advertisement
in a Philadelphia paper that a company
is formed in that city by the title of
the“ East-Florida Coffee-land Associa
tion"; that most of the shares of their
stock are disposed of; and that tuev
will want a vessel from 45 to 50 tons,
and drawing not more than 6 feet water*
Horrid Murder !
About midnight ou Sunday last a
white man named Saunders, living 17
miles up the Augusta road, was shot
ueail in his house by a negro fellow sup
posed to belong to a Mr. Brown, in or
about Augusta, and known by the name
ol Essex. Mr. Saunders was called to
the back door by the fellow, and as he
opened it received the contents of a
musket or fowling piece into his head,
and dropped dead on the bed from
whence he had just risen, and where
lay his wife and three infant children.
On Mrs. Saunders screaming, the
fellow who had entered the house seiz
ed her by the throat, and seated her on
a bench, threatened that she should
share the fate of her husband if she
stirred or made the least noise, and in
this situation was she forced to remain
for a quarter of an hour while he was
searching for plunder. He first secur
ed well the outer door, opening into the
public road, then lit a fire from a smok
ing pot which was in the house aud with !
the greatest coolness and deliberation :
proceeded to his search for money.
Finding but two dollars, he became en
raged against the terrified woman and
threatened her with instant death, if
she did not discover more or tell him
where the pocket book was. He how- j
: ever found that empty, and then de- I
| manded “ the two watches” and with
these and the two dollars departed
| through the back door. The poor
woman whose agony for her hus
band's melancholy fate had been ab
sorbed in the terror that was incessant*
i ly excited for her own life and that of |
her sleeping children, Was now left a
prey to the dreadful feelings whicii the i
scene before her was calculated to in- |
spire.
The murderer is well known on the 1
| Augusta road, and it is believed will i
! soon be apprehended. The circum- i
, stances must stimulate to extraordina- j
I r J vigilance in pursuing him. He is a •
stout made man, and is supposed to be ■
i the same who knocked a black boy oft'
j his horse and l obbed him of his saddle
! bags the afternoon before. He is said
to have been recently employed on the
middle ground road of Effingham Couii-
I ty in erecting a house for Low, Wal- !
lace & Co. Fhe distressed widow says i
j that she had seen him before, and that !
i he stopped at her house not long since, j
i when she supposes he discovered the
watches hanging over the chimney
piece. j
So horrid a transaction has seldom
occurred in our community, and we sin- I
cercly hope that before this time the
murderer is in the hands of justice.
[Savannah Republican. |
Munh r ! —Early yesterday morning, !
a murder - was committed on Charles- j
ton Neck, on the King-street road,
a short distance above the lines, on the
person of Christian Clawson. —The
horrid deed was committed by a man
named Paul Lawrence, a Taylor by
trade, by stabbing the man with,a small
clasp knife, in the left breast, so as to
cause his instant, death, Os the cause
which led to this diabolical transac
tion, we are wholly uninformed.—The
| perpetrator of the deed was inline
i diatelv taken into custody, and com
mitted to prison, to await his trial at
the October Sessions.
[Charleston Courier, 7th inst.
MORE COUNTERFEITS.
Five several plates have recently
been engraved for a fellow calling him
self Doctor Charles Jas. Stewart, from
Lynchburgh, in Virginia, at the coun
terfeiting establishment in Canada;
four of which are of the following de
scription and denomination, viz:—a
850 bill on the Bank of Kentucky;
85 bill on the Bank, or State Bank of
Tennessee; one other bill, on the Sav
annah or Augusta Bank, the one how
ever, ot which Mr. Moore is cashier;
and 8100 on the Bank of Louisiana.—
This Uoctor Stewart has probably assu
med this name, among others. He is
supposed to be 35 to 40 years of age,
sandy hair almost red, round faced and
much freckled, blue eyes and rattier
round shouldered, sometimes well and
at other times meanly clad. Doctor
Stewart had with him, it is supposed, a
large amount of counterfeit notes on
other banks, and a rush is probably in
tended to be made in the southern and
western states with a new description
of counterfeit bills.
[Burlington, Vt. June 22.
CRUELTY.
A man was brought to the N. Y. po
lice office, who had a cow and a calf at
the Fly Market, for sale. Several of
our citizens observed that tile cow
apparently had a large bag of milk;
and, the calf not sucking, had the curi
osity to examine it, and discovered that
its tongue was tied at the roots, so as to
prevent its sucking,— The man, together
with the cow and calf, were brought to
the police, and the string was taken
from off the tongue of the calf. The
Iman was committed for maiming and
cruelly treating the beast, and for the
inteat to cheat and defraud.

The ship Atlantic, Capt. Matlock, arrived
here yesterday, s:ii!ed from Liverpool on the
30tli of Mat, and brings &c.
eight days later than per former Arrivals. —
The contents of these papers are quite un.
interesting ; hu' the editors of the Gazette
give from them, as well as from Prices Cur
ri’a’, such extracts a* are worthy of notice.
There had been only three arrivals at Liver
pool from the United States for a vyeek pre
vious to the departure Os the Atlantic, and
no sailings.
From the preparations which were mak- ]

to return to Vienna.
Private letters from 3p,»;n state, that the
priest Merino, who had raised an insurrec
