It Would seem tint the apprehensions of
a pi'-at failure of crop* in Lapland had, in
a cioi|ider»bJe degree, subsided. The Cou
rier of TffHrsday eveniiip, Sept. 20th, says
ah fears, as to the the ports
f.r the importation of foreig i gra n, have,
we understand, nearly subsided. Ihe crops
in Scotland, we learn, are very pond. The
wheat is excellent, and the weather there
ha* been comparatively favourable. Hence, ,
it is not possible that the averages will allow
the p, rts to be opened in November, as the
tale of inferior corn must keep tin :n down ;
even should pood corn rise, w hich is not
likely, if the weather prove tolerable. We -

of the Governor when a ked if the report |
of the Bank shortly discounting at 4 per j

rate, was true. It is inferred this important j
measure is in contemplation, because had it j
been otherwise, a direct negative would
have been given.
[From the Los lon Courier of Sept. 19.]
“ City, 1 o'clock —The funds advanced this
morning suddenly a half per cent. ~ The rise
is attributed to the fine weather and the al- j
most certainty of good crops, and cause- j
quenl entire failure of the speculation of j
opening the port* for foreign corn. There
are also various rumours circulated of impor
tant news having reached London respect
ing Russia and Turkey. One report men
tions an express from Paris : another, that
the account comes from Petersburg. The
only thing known to a certainty in the city
from the latter, is, that there has been a great
rise in the Exchange; in one day the ad
vance was J-sJuds.
2 o’clock —lt is reported that an express
has this instant reached the city, with ac
counts from Constantinople of the ISth Aug.
The news is stated to be of tile highest im
p rtance, and to be of a decidedly pacific na

respectable source, and are given to under- i
stand the news is most favourable.”
The departure of his majesty for the con- J
tinent is no longer a matter of conjecture.—
The Gazette of last night contains the ap
pointment of the “ Lords Justices for the ad

clared, will only be “ for a short time.” The
| Lords Justices consists > f his royal highness

j remove Major-General S.r Robert W.lson
from his majesty’s service.” It is, of course,

i ceeding is in consequence of the political
I sentiments of Sir Robert Wilson, and be

A letter from Constantinople, dated Aug.

TOPOGRAPHY-
Opposite Pensacola, on what is called
Deer Point, there is a small cove called the
Careening Groiflxl, where vessels may lie
close t u shore, a- completely sheltered as in
a basin. Coder the British government,
two heaving down wharves were construct
ed, and at different times, vessels have been
repaired, and even built and launched there.
At present, there are scarcely any remains
of those work c . —This has been during the
summer, the quarantine ground. I here
were formerly some good five oak in the
neigh but hood, but it has been long since
destroyed. The place is well fortified bv
nature, having a lagoon in the rear, which
cuts it off trout the main land, leaving only
a high btuff, that commands every place a
rquntl it. On tlie other side of Deer Point,
is tin- Sound between the island of Sta. Rosa
and the peninsula, of which Deer Point is
the extremity. The sound is about forty
miles in length, by about two in width, and
receives at the upper end, tlie Choctaw ri
ver, or Ciiactahatchy, on which there is
much good land, and settlements rapidly
forming. Boats of all kinds pass throng’ll
it, and cross over to Pensacola, whose mar
ktt has already deiived considerable sup
plies from that quarter. The country lying
between the bay of Pensacola and the
sound, is in the shape of a triangle, and ve
ry abundantly supplied with stream s of wa
ter ; but the soil is of the same kind with
the pine woods in general, at least so far as
it lias been explored ; for I entertain no
doubt there are spots to be met with like
the Oazis, of Africa, as lcmarkable for their
fertility and beauty, as the surrounding
lands are dieary and barren. 'The island of
Sta. Rosa, is little more than a sand liar, with j
scattered shrubs, and here and there a solita- I
ry pine.
Between Pensacola and Barrancas, on this 1
side the bay there are several lagoons i f
considerable s ze, and as far as 1 have oh- |
served the soil in general very indifferent — j
six miles below, a point runs out and con- j
ceals the Barrancas, on this point a signal
staff’is placed and is visible from town with 1
the naked eye. Three miles below is tb<p
fort St. Carlos de Barrancas, situated upon ,
a high bluff - or cliff. The ground in the
rear consists of the most steril pine woods, I
and yet in the neighborhood of the fort,
g .rden vegetables appear to do well, and j
everything that is planted thrives. 'The !
ei’or,. ous live oak, between the village and !
the for , form an astonishing contrast to the
apparently wretched Soil that produces them. 1
I hi fii t is commanded by two pom s, one '
lower down on tlie bay, and the other di- I
rectly out about half a mile. On one of 5
t i -e, General Jackson, in 1818, mounted a
nine pounder, and with this formidable buttery, j
attacked the fort. On the other eminence, f
ns already stated, about half a m it- from tlie
bay, the troops are now employed in erect- ,
mg barracks, being within a short distance
of one oi those fine springs, for which Flo
rida is so justly celebrated. The part of j
the fort occupying the summit of the bluff,
is but small, by no means formidable, and
when delivered to our troops, was in very
bad repair. Ihe water battery is a much
lit' re considerable work—with the excep
tion of a few pieces, tlie artillery is of no j
value, and the carriages are so rot»cn, as to |
be entirely unfit for use—A bail can wi h j
ease be thrown across the point of the id
| and of Sta. Rosa, the distance not much ex
| ceeding a mile and an half. There Was for
merly a work of some importance on the
point, and it will be necessary to repair it,
I in order to render the entrance peifectly
inaccessible. A light house ought als >to
: be constructed, for at present, nolwithstand
j mg the facility of entering the harbor, the
’ masters of vessels not acquainted with the
coast, are apt to pass the place without know
j > n g it.
from the height of the Barrancas there
is a fine prospect, whose sublimity is heigh
tened by the swelling and roaring of the
surf mi the outside of St. Rose, llelow the
fort is what is called the Grand L, goon,l
j spoken of as the means of connecting the
: bay ol Pensacola with the Perdido. The
distance across, according to a late Spanish
survey, is two hundred perches, T.ie La
goon is an extensive sheet of water, but
there is a difference of opinion as to there
being a sufficient depth for the purpose of
navigation. No accurate and corrected sur
vey lias yet been made of this part of Flo
rida, anti in fact scarcely of any part, so that
no reliance is to be placed on ti e maps
The Perdido or lost river, is probably so '
called from the narrowness of its entrance,
which is by two channels, not exceeding
fifteen or twenty yards in width each, and so
| concealed by an island that a person may
| pass along the coast in a boat without disco
j veroig them. The Perdido soon widens in
j to w hat may he more properly called a large
i lagoon or lake, than a river, its shores re
j semblii.g those already described, with de
! sirablc situations on its borders. For about
twenty miles it pre serves the w idth of three
or four miles, in some places wider, and then
suddenly becomes an inconsiderable stream,
taking its source about fifty miles north of
tins place. A western branch of tlie lagoon
approaches within five and a half miles of
the bayou Bon Seeottr of Mobile Bay. The
bay of Pensacola might thus be connected
with that of Mobile by two short canals not
much exceeding a distance of six miles.
Whether there would be a sufficient object
to justify the making such a canal is perhaps
questionable, on account of the great width
of the bay of Mobile, which cannot with
safety he navigated by the river craft. No
obstacles could however be opposed by the
l nature of the country it would pass through.
The outlet of the Perdido is about ten miles ,
from the Barrancas, and has not more than
five feet water on the bar.
The pine woods on the w'est side of the
Pertlido are said to be of a superior quality.
As far as my observations enable me to
judge, it is extremely difficult to give any
general description of the country dis*ia- !
guished by this kind of growth tint can be j
relied on with safety, on account of the [
great variety in the quality of the soil. Ai I
most every mile square is of a different |
kind, and quality. The trict of country I
immediately in the rear of this place, lying j
between the Perdido and tin* Escan.bia ts a '
long narrow strip averaging ten miles in j
width by sixty in length, the road passing I
along the ridge which separates the waters ,
of these two streams. 4Ve find very extern I
sive fl its, but in general, the surface it a-I
greeabiy varied. Every few miles we meet;
with a pond of w .iter, filled with a close |
thicket of the shrubs of the southern re- j

This country has supported very large b.etds
of cattie, w hich in fact, has constuuted the
principal wealth of the inhabitants of Flo
rida, they have found the htninesggnore pro.
fitable than cultivation, requirolgSiess capi.
tal, and a f t*iidt-d with less care. The stocks
of cattle were very much diminished ilur
ing the Ind'an war, but are again lencrtash g
rapidly, as they are said to double every
three years. The country is also well a
dapted to sheep. At this season of the year
the appearance of the vegetation is almost
as gay as in the spring, the verdure is as
fresh, and the woods are filled with flowers,
so that whether in spring or autumn, the
name of Florida is equally appropriate.

By the communication of a writer or wri
ters in the Southern Patriot,Jfor it is signed #
“ few disinterested cifTzens,” it appears that
Augusta is threatened with a formidable ri
val in the new town of Hamburgh, on the
Carolina side of ttie Savannah. The writers
appear desirous to treat us with much deli
cacy ; but the fact of h>.?stirtg of the supe
rior rate of exchungvof South-Carolina notes
at the north, and the higher price com
manded by their cotton over ours* is hardly
consistent with their professions. ’I he ar
ticle is intended no doubt to draw custom to
the new town, and I du not blame the efforts
of its patrons to attain their object. As to
their cotton, it is not pretended that it is bet
ter than our own, though it is said to com
mand a higher price, “ under a confidence
j that it is better handled and more nicely
! put up.” Yet it is rather an unfortunate \
fact for them, that the comparative amount
of the exports of cotton from the two states
1 should not .variant the assertion of prefer
| once. That the difference in the rate of ex
l change at the north between the two states,
i (1-2 to 1 p. ct. generally) is to be attributed
to the superior credit of Charleston banks
or merchants, is denied. The difference
between notvs of the Charleston and Savan
’ milt banks in New-York, is at present half
1 per cent, in favour of the former; and if
i these writers would reflect one moment up
on the fluctuations of exchange, they would
he convinced that their assertion is not war
ranted by fact. In die summer season, the
notes of the Charleston banks are at the
! north, 3,4, 5,6, to 7 spd 8 per cent, be- I
low par, at the same time that Savannah
| notes are likewise low, but the cause is not
! want of credit; it is the rale of exchange
created by the demand fur cash in remit
tances to the north for the payment of notes,
I expenses of emigrants, &c. and which is I'ur
; ther increased by speculations upon their
bankbiils and drafts. To these causes, and
j not to any want of credit, it is that the rate
of exchange is against Savannah-
In making these remarks, I have no wish
to injure the new city. On the contrary, l
wish its projector every success, and a
long continuation of health and prosperity,
protected as it is '‘from the miasmata of
the Georgia swamps, by the houses and
smoke of Augusta.”

£j* .'inti Spasmodic. —M. Girard, a physi

| ammoniac (I’alcali voiaiil Huor) d filed with
| water, is a remarkable and spasmodic. He
has appif d it with success to the ca-.c of
(liiiiiki'iiiiess, which lie considers an affec
tion of, the nerves. Seven or eight drops
in a glass of water sufficed to edict a cure.
M. GhawoureHe, "ho presented the report
ol the discovery to tl.e Society of Medicine
in Paris, adds that it is not by the decompo
s.tion of the w iue that this remedy operates;
hut he tlni ks it is by modifying the XV nu
bility of the mucous membrane of the stom
ach, and acting- on the nerves distributed
over it, which convey to the brain the im
pression that they receive from it.
