WILLIAM RABUN. AUGUSTA, NOV. IS.T From the following intelligence, it ap pears, that the pirates and banditti on Amelia Island are still endeavoring to entice into their service our unsuspect ing citizens. To seduce them from their honest & peaceable pursuits, they proffer them a visionary compensation wl«ch will never be realised. Let our countrymen beware of those false allurements.—The moment they embrace them they disfran chise themselves as American Citizens— they lose the protection and regard of their government—and by associating with the out-laws of nations, they throw themselves without the pale of civiliza tion, and become deprived even of the common benefit of brutes. The revolutionary authorities at Fer- Inandina have been contriving expedi ents to increase their military by offer ling 320 acres of land for six months’ [service of every volunteer—4Bo, for Inine months—Boo, for twelve months l-and 190 acres extra to be given to ■every volunteer who shall be in service, lit the fall of St. Augustine, The ap pointments of non-commissioned, com- Imssioned and field officers are specified land sufficiently liberal—but we decline linserting them—believing that not ma |sy men of honour or talents will, for Ithe sake of lucre, serve in the same ranks with the brigands who participated lift the honors of St. Domingo.

The writer is a very observing and sensible mart. It will be seen by the contents, that the United States are gaining upon the consideration of European statesmen and philosophers. These-facts are in teresting; they show thft our coun . try and its institutions, its products, and policy, are the themes of obser vation and contemplation amongst the learned men in the old world. While all who visit our country from Europ; ftie unremitting in their communica tions in relation to America—while these are made public, and contrl bute essentially to impress the mind of the several countries where publish ed-—it is proper that onr citizens, in turn, should give their speculations and remarks in the same way. We can profit by tbeir communications— and, I trust rejoice in a contrast with any 6thcr nation.—*V. l r .

Since my residence in Europe, nothing has struck me more ob viously than the increasing interest, with which every thing relating to America : is heard apd observed. A knowledge ' >f the nature of our country,of our insti tutions, inhabitants, manners, morals, & customs, frpm which the war secluded •he nations of Europe in a very consid erable degree, is spreading with a rapid ity proportionate to our increase. It is now Seen,(with what relish by kings and courts 1 leave you to judge,) that the day is not very distant in which our Republic will cease to occupy a second rank among the nations of the earth. Our short war has unfolded energies, which wcjwero not believed to possess— it has impressed information with a dia mond’s point, in characters which are indelible. ' The natural productions of the Uni ted States are sought for with avidity. Among other productions, I brought with me a piece of the block of Copper on the margin of Lake Superior. A part of it has been analyzed at the mint at U trecht, and is placed in the museum at Leyden-—another has a place at Gottin gen. The report of the analysis makes it (as you know it to be) more free from alloy as The wise ones are turning their attention to this subject, and you may expect voyagers, in the shape of philosophers, coming to make discoveries. “ Alter satisfying his first curiosity, an American seeks, if he does not sigh for, home. The wretchedness and mis ery of the lower classes, abates, his ad miration of the stupendous works of art which Europe presents. It should how - ever be added, that this has been a year of uncommon distress. And it may be also true, indeed I feel it to be so, that my curiosity, which never was extrava gant, is abated by years.' “ I know of nothing in the political world worth naming to you. The pie vailing opinion seems to be, that things cannot remain as they are, for any con siderable length of time. If you ask the reason of this opinion, you cannot re ceive a satisfactory answer. A few men in the green bag hold the secret, and as long as the green bag holds together, Europe, in my opinion, will hold as it is. Conjecture is vain, and he who ventures on it must be—*not a wise man.” Amsterdam, Sept. 20. •‘ Our cotton market is brisk, it is des titute of fine, and we have only inferior that sell heavily! fine Georgia commands 44 to 4(J groots, we quote prices 38 to 46 groots, and Sea-Island, 48 to 34 groots: prime and seconds wil* doubt less command high prices here and turn out lucratively, we shall have a regular vent for the same.

She bears the name of one of the greatest men that the sun ever shone upon. He found his country a pitiful province of Britain, and left her —Oh, glorious destiny!—an independent nation! Curious Typographical Erratum. The following singular blunder occurs in a late Philadelphia Gazette: The civil authority of the City of Washington has passed an edict against Dogs, and have ordered into immediate confinement the whole human race, un der pain of extermination.
