The South-Carolina sailed from Bordeaux River, on the 7th of August, but nothing important had occurred up to that time. Most of the Grapes had been destroyed, and very little wine would be made in France from the last crop—its rise in price may consequently be anticipated.

Mr. Piquet, Advocate General of the Royal Court at Caen, died in that city on the 17th inst. The last accounts from Algiers inform us, that the plague maxes dreadful rava ges in that city. July 25. Gen. Belair, who was arrested at the same time with Madame Lavalette, has been set at liberty. Lieut. Gen. Thievenot is no more; he died at Orly, near Paris, much esteemed and respected. The Minister of Marine and of the co lonies has announced to the public, that, conformably to ancient regulations, the vessels of France in Spanish ports, and those of Spain in the ports of France, are placed on an equal footing in regard to the payment of the tolls of navigation. A report is in circulation, that Ma dame, the Marquise de Lavelette, lately arrested in Paris, will be transfened to Lyons. Gen. Cerise, accused of being among the seditious, who lately disturbed the city of Liege, was arrested the day be fore yesterday, just as he arrived in Pa ris, and conducted to the Prefecture of Police. He exhibits evident signs of in sanity. An English frigate has. arrived at Leg horn, to take on board five millions of money, the sum due to England from the King of Sardania, towards the expenses of the war. The Duke de Duras presented to his Majesty, Joseph Capris, the sailor, whose singular adventures we have detailed in a former number, and who arrived at Calais in the Russian This man had been tatooed in the island of the Marquesas, where he resided so long; and his Majesty after examining this singular species of ornament, made him a present of 500 francs. It is said that the Council of State has formed the principal basis of the project of a law on the organization of Con ucils- Generai of the Departments, of councils of Arrondissements,and Councils Muni cipal, According to this project the Municional Councils will be nominated directly by the different communes, but the Members of the Councils of Arron dissements, and of Departments, will be nominated by the King, from a list pre sented him lor that purpose. This pro ject is to be submitted to the Chambers on their meeting. It is generally supposed that the E lectoral Colleges of the Seine, which will meet to renew a sth of the Chamber of Deputies this year, will be convoked during the first fortnight in September. (By the Ship South-Carolina. J Bordeaux, July 28. The demand for short staple cotton has been pretty brisk for some time past, and sales have been made at ad vantageous prices; the present rates for good qualities are 21 3 a 225 f—for infe rior 2(K) a 210 f. in bond. As the stock on hand is but trilling, about 1000 bales, prices are likely to hold, and perhaps advance, till the new crop comes to mar ket. The imports from the Ist January to the 50th June last, were 13482 bales —of which 4489 were from your port, 1295 from Savannah, and 3930 from N. Orleans.

It is impossible to say what price Rice will be next winter—the crops of bread stuffs are so abundant all over Europe, that I would not advise you to calculate on more than 30f. as the maximum—the last sale was at 48f. but at present there is no fixed price. 4 Government have made several pur chases of Tobacco this spring, and as for eign is now employed in the manufacto ries, there is no doubt they will continue to buy, which will tend to keep up the jirict'—Gt\od Carolina Tobacco Ts worth j,. : v f, * ), W ' * > 0 * V 95 a 105 f.

The Baroness de Stael expired yester day, a victim to the painful malady which so long occasioned the liveli est alarm among her numerous friends. She was 55 years of age. Madame tie Stael was the daughter of Neckar and of Susan Curchod, the object of the early, perhaps the only passion, of Gibbon, the historian of the Roman empire. The genius of this conspicuous and celebra ted woman was rather splendid than useful. Her writings, which are volum nious, may be considered as indicating more knowledge than they impart; her reasonings are ingenious and sometimes profound; her thoughts frequently ori ginal: her imagination, active, brilliant and profuse, now and then perplexes the subject, which it is the province of ima gination to illustrate. Her power of lu minous and eloquent expression, must give the works of Madame de Stael a passport to every cultivated circle: but they belong much more to the class of luxuries than of sound and healthful diet for the mind. Her moral system must he searched for among the folds of rich and volumptuous sensibility, with which she has invested it; and we are sure that it will always bear the light. Few peo ple, we are persuaded, have risen Irom ner compositions with their taste purifi ed; or their principles strengthened. The debt which the present generation owes to the alluring author of “ Del phine” and “ Cprinne,” bears some re semblance in character, though not in a mount, to that which was imposed upon the age preceding, by the sentiment and sophistry of Rousseau. Where she coun sels the reader to virtue, he does not feel more virtuously disposed; as, where she professes to treat of literature, she adds little to the common stock of learning. Madame de Stael was well known in England, where she mingled in the best ana highest classes of society, and where her tone of conversation; though some what restless and authoritative, was ad mired for its elegance, vivacity and power. new-york, September 5. We published yesterday a foreign ar ticle which stated, that the Emperor 0! Russia had agreed upon terms, to lend his assistance to the king of Spain, in sub duing the rebellious colonists in South America. These terms are stated to be —the cession of California and the Isl and of Minorca together with certain commercial priviledges not specified.— Notwithstanding the fact that the dis position of the emperor may be strongly m favor of an extension of his commerc ial concerns, we cannot but doubt the correctness of this intelligence. In the first place, the spot from whence it was received, does not appear much in its favor. It would be very* strange if an affair of so much moment to the con cerns both of Europe and America,should not reach Great Britain as early in a di rect channel from. Russia, as by the way of an inland town in Germany. The relations of the two nations are on so in timate a footing; that it scarcely can be imagined that the representative of the British government, at St. Petersburg, should not receive as early information with regard to so important an affair, and communicate it as seasonably to his cab inet, as it should find its way accross such a tract of country, by some acci dental hand. We can hardly be persuaded that the affairs of the Russian empire, its finahfces Sfc. have become so far restored, as to induce the emperor to engage in the ex penses of such a distant warefare as the one under consideration. At the close of the French revolution, Europe was ex hausted; and the a»oment the excitement derived from that great cause had ceas ed, the effect of that exhaustion was vis ible in every country. Russia felt its influence as well as other nations; and we can hardely believe, that her losses are yet entirely repaired, or her strength and force fully revived. Besides, when Russia shall be thoroughly prepared,.and resolved on war, we think her attention will be turned to objects nearer home, and more immediately beneficial to her interests, than any thing she -would be able to derive from the hands of Spain. There is a world of territory eastward of Russia, that we should imagine would be of more value to her than California, or even Minorca—though it is probable a foot-hold in the Mediterranean might be gratifying (o the emperor. It would seem impossible that Alexan der can want or war, aktUe present time.

From the'Charleston Patriot. DEL ANO’S VuYAGE. The native enlcrprze ami activity (i f our countrymen carry them to every part of the habitable globe, with a contempt of danger which nothing can surpass, and a spirit of curiosity almost u«Mliable,-~ No clime however inhospitJllf, or diffi cult of access, or trying to the human constitution, that is not familiar to their visits. The burning equator, and the freezing poles,equally witness their au dacity of enterprise—their boundless activity and delicacy of address, in sur mounting the dangers and difficulties which may happen to beset the route oc the hardy and adventurous Voyager.- Captain Delano, we do not think, lar be hind his countrymen in these qualities—. His book is the narrative of the adven' turesoi'a genuine New-England seaman —of a life of peril and of restless curi osity-pursued by one of ready resource and concious interpidity. His book,tho’ published not later than January, 1817,. professes to give an account of voyages undertaken between the years 1790 and 1810—the Journal of which, he has beerr advised to put into the hands of one more practiced iu composition than him self, that the public should not be de- . prived of the benefit of his observation and experience. He visited both the Northern and fiouthern hemispheres, and went on a voyage of survey and discov ery in the Pacific Ocean, and among the Oriental Islands. Now, we are of opi nion, that no one can object to the pub lication of captain Delano's Journal, on account of the distance of time to which it refers, as a part of his route in the In dian Ocean gave him, as he remarks, “opportunity for observation and discov ery,” and accordingly, both here, and in what he calls his “remarks upon the navi 'gathon along the coast of New Holland, Van Diemen’s Land, New Zealand, and round Cape Horn,” will be found inform ation to seamen, minute and practical, in the highest degree. Put every reader will object, and with reason, to the strong proofs of the mystery of book-making visible in the publication. Nothing, in fact, but the ingenious devices of this wonder working art could have eked out the matter of this volume to an actavo of six hundred pages, when the whole sum and substance of it could have been com pressed iu nearly one half the space.— His reflections, which do not possess the most original cast, and the oppressive fullness of his details, might have been oimitted without impairing the value or interest of the volume. Wc are, how ever, obliged to captain Delano for many particulars equally novel and interesting. We published tiie following extract from the work, relating to a singular occur rence, no doubt familiar to the recollec tion of our readers- The circumstances of the mutiny of the Bounty’s crew, and their settlement on an uninhabited Island (Pitcairn’s) in the Pacific Ocean, have been topics of much interest, and of fre quent remark. “I became acquainted with Captain Maybevv Folger, m the year 1800, atthl) island of Massafuero. We were then on voyages for seals, and had an opportuni ty to be together for many months. — His company was particularly agreeable to me, and we were often relating to each other our adventures. Among o ther topics of conversation- the ffite of the Bounty was several times introduc ed. 1 showed to him the copy of the Journal ot E'dwards,* which I had taken at Timor, and we were both much intere sted to know what ultimately became of Christian, (the chief mutineer) his ship and his party. It is not easy for lands men, who have never had personal eviier ience of the suffering of sailors at sea, and on savage coasts or desolate islands, to enter into their feelings with any thing like an adequate sympathy. We had both suffered many varieties of hardship and privation, and’our feelings wore per fectly alive to the anxieties and distres ses of a mind under the circumstances o' Christian’s, going IVomi all he had known * rj £3 % and loved, and seeking as his lasfcroiuye a spot unknown and uninhabited. The spirit of crime is only temporary in the human soul, but the spirit of sympathy is eternal. Repentance and virtue succeco to passion and misconduct, and while tlie public may continue to censure ami frown our hearts in secret plead for the return ing and unhappy transgressor. It w:.s with such a state'll mind that f olger an mysel f used to ♦ speak of the prospect* before the mutineers of the Bounty, v. hen she was last .seen steering to the norm west from Otaheite, on the open ocean-- not, to seek friends and home, I v.t a sou tary region, where no hitman f.ic?, besides •Captain Ed wards, our readers vviii re collect.
