NATIONAL ADVOCATE.” 4t is not that we think it at all in struct I a io our readers, to write any thing about the silly Journal above named, or its chamelion Editor; but as la* has been very busy with us and our name, it may be a minting to others, and, perhaps, instructive to him, to place him for a few.moments in the hand* of the “ little petulant Pe dagogue”—from whose grip he shall not soon escape, but a few re collections may be made upon his memory, which, though they may not new-model his mind, may at least improve his manners. Let us begin with an example of Mr. Noah'it poli tical knowledge. “ S''iith-Carolina , —*Tli« entiling elec tion itt llai slate letnrns members of the Statu Legislature, whose duty it w ill In to make choice of the elector* (hr President and Vi <!• Pi t ..ale -t of the I hided States.” fJV. i\ National .ddtmale, is'ep. 12. Here’s a discovery! This is the fruit of Ignorance married to Impu dence. A man of common modesty would have ask’d those better ac quainted than himself; and they would have told him that the next Legislature will cease its functions at the latter part of December 1823; and (hat the Legislators who are to elect electors will not sit or act until December 1824—the Legislature af ter the ensuing. So much for this Editor’s “ knowledge,” Now for an example of Mr. Noah's rnemory: “ Phis cm mn'tancc [prosumiupt that Ids fact” is truth] gives great in terest t» the election; and we hay e already hoard (lie names of several old and influ ential democrats, who will leave their retirement, nud by accepting scats in the Legislature • ndeuvov to rally the power and spirit of the party, and preserve the a- endency ol llutse valuable principles ftn.l political rights, which have, of late, tie u tot si unrighteously titfli-J with.” [lbid. In what instances “valuable prin ciples and political rights” nave “ been trifled with”—and that “ un righteously”—is a inattter of no con sequence. It must be taken as one of me many wandering imaginations, ol .Mr. Noah, without reading, or reflection, or enquiry, thinks he knows every thing. He dreams— nnd lo !it is reality.—•“ lie grasps a st teia by intuition.”—But now for I his went vy: Having the instant ! belore a *- rted that “great interest” i hud b en excited [from a cause which ’ did not exist any where but in Ids Ju fancy] he immediately ac cj'ivs South Caiolina of total apathy; ‘■No , <tr was more democratic than r-oa !\ Carolina, and is still so; hut when t'l tlhy ore rails, and these to whom arc nti'.isu 1 >ho power and will keep ttie • arty t T- t ier, cry out “cm of good t. uJ “ amal •unation,” nolhing ’•other I--:, tins than to gtcc up ait,us . - •• i ... ‘ Now, really, this inconsistent gab ble about what the Editor of the Ad vocate has no clear perception of, would by some people he considered insulting lo his readers. But of this 1 eetiug, he is totally unconscious; turn fulls to abusing “ the little petu- 1 lud ped igcguc” who now conducts 1 •lie ’’Lily Oazette —in a strain as logical as iv is courteous. We pro- 1 sent it as a speciinem of Mr. Noah's tat; “The pr ■■■• in that State lends no aid iu rally 1115 .he republican parly. The ■Ch-olesto .

Thus, there would not have existed so complete a contrast between us. The Editor of the Advocate may succeed by in trigue, by hardy assertions, and even by that, “ intrepid ignorance,” which it knows not where it treads. The Editor of the Gazette is content to go on, “ through good report and through evil report,” while he is conscious of being “ Pure in the last recesses of Id • mind.'’ Truth is strong, and must finally win the battle, maugre the schemes, and tetchesand devices of her anta gonist.-—Now for a specimen of Mr. JSoah's veracity. “ Vir.

Now this is not true. The state of Mr. Lowndes’health, (with deep regret we say it,) has tor some time i been such, that Ins name is not used for purposes of division. From pre sent appearances, the Democratic party in this state, on the presiden tial question, will with trifling excep tions, unite in favour of Mr. Cal houn. We believe the whole state will unite on that point.

So much for Air. Noah's essay on the stale of parties in South-Caroli na, and the character he is pleased to give of the City Gazette. We have no objection to his scribbling about the politics of this state. Our won der is, that ho has not yet written something about the state* of parties in Japan.—-W e have no objection to his occasional personalities —(’tis a mode of argument in wliich he best succeeds)—our only wonder is, that he has not described every branch of our household. Wc have no ob jection that he should assert we are utterly unacquainted with any re spectable Republicans—our only wonder is, how any respectable men can become his acquaintance, who thus asserts what he does not believe himself! Wo are not angry with Air.

NpV-YOIIK, OCTOBER 8. The regular trading ship Euphra tes, Captain Stoddard, arrived at this port last evening, in the short pas sage ot 26 days from Liverpool. By this vessel the Editors of the New- A ork Daily Advertiser leave received Eondod papers to the ytll, Lloyd's Lists to the 6th, and London tahip-1 ping Lists to 7th September, all in-1 elusive, smd Liverpool papers and Prices Current to the Jitli of Sep tember. We have selected the most interesting articles for this days pa per. LIVERPOOL MUtKf.TS, SEPT. 10. I Cotton —The attention ofthe trade has again been directed to the public sales, to whioli holders continue to have recourse. On Friday near 1)000 bags were brought forward, princi pally American descriptions. Row eds went off very briskly, and ob-J taint'd generally an advance of I-del per Id. Orleans and Tennes sees also experienced ready sale, at I lull previous rates. Oilier descrip-j lions sold rather heavily, particularly Dcmararas, at a reduction of I- ld per lb. Sugars, Are.—There has been a very limited request for British plan tation sugar. I obacco—The export demand re maiffs suspended, and the business doing for the home trade is too insig nificant to particularise. LONDON,SEPT. S. The Traveller says—“ It is stated in wellinfornicd circles, that Earl Bathurst takes the foreign secretary ship; Mr. Robinson the colonial de partment; that Mr. Ilushisson js to < succeed Mr. Robmscfh as treasurer of the navy and president of the i board of trade; and that Mr. Croker ; goes from the admiralty, and suc i coeds Mr. Huskisson as surveyor-ge neral of woods and forests. iMr. j Croker is to take a more active part than heretolbre in the House of Com mons. The leadership , it is said, has been offered to Mr. Peel, who has declined it,” On the other hand, the Courier asserts that no definitive . arrangement has yet taken place. ( Amidst the contradictory accounts I from Greece, given in the Continental j journals, strong expectations are held | out that the truth will be found on the side of those which assert that j Chourschid Pacha was ultimately de feated with immense loss at the pass | of Thermopylae. | Nothing decisive (says the Eng ' lishman) has yet transpired respect j'mg the new Ministers, and nothing '| has, we believe, been definitely set • lied. The negotiations for the re i turn of Mr. Canning to office as For i eign Secretary continue, but neither : the objections of hi/: Majesty, nor ol i the Lord Chancellor, arc yet sur- II mounted. On this appointment the I! rest w ill of course depend. That ad justed, the subordinate changes, if a ny, will be easily completed ; while , a delay in the nomination of the For eign Minister will suspend every o ’ iher. Lord Bathurst at present holds, <*./ interim, the seals of the Foreign Office. The Duke of Wellington, who had a severe bilious attack on Tuesday, and was cupped on the following day, is recovering, we understand, from 1 his indisposition, and his departure 1 for Vienna, to attend the Congress, stands fixed for Tuesday. A London mail arrived yesterday . with letters and papers to the 251 h , nit. inclusive. The troops, known , by the last mail to have been ember i ked for Bahia, remained on board, where they ba ! continued, « levon . ‘days, and were still without orders . for preceding to their destination.— It was inferred from thence by some, . that the object of the expedition was , about to be abandoned ; but the tone t of the Ministry, who were constantly , urging decisive measures, furnished, , with others, a conclusive argument . against that supposition, and led to I the belief that the delay arose solely . b’oin (ho intention of strengthening , the armament. On the l?th there was read in the Cortes, a letter from , the Minister for Foreign Affairs, con . tabling a note from the British Charge , d’ A flairs demanding the suspension , ut (he additional duty of 15 per cent, I on British woollens. It was referred to the Special committee on that ! Subject. French papers arrived yesterday to ( the sth inst. They are almost totally occupied with reports of the trials going on at Paris and Poictiers, of the persons charged with conspiring a gainst the state. From the nature of the evidence brought forward on Gen. Burton's trial it is evident that the object of the prosecution is rather to implicate La Fayette, Benjamin Constant, and the other leaders of the Liberals in the conspiracy, than to punish those who now charged with being its autiiors. Count Montmo rency goes as French Ambassador to the Congress at Verona. Lord Burgherst, British Minister to the Court of Florence, arrived at Paris on the Ist, from London, and it is said is to proceed to the Congress.— Sir W. A’Court, the Ambassador to Spain, is also at Paris on his way to Madrid, ihe Constitutionel, on the authority of German reports, gives the following summary of the propo sitions to be submitted at the Con gress of Vienna: 1. To declare firmly and openly against revolutions lof every kind. 2. To intrust the j guarantee ot Italy and Germany to j Austria, 3. To agree to a secret ; article relative to Spain. 4. To re -1 new t!. ‘ guarantees given to the other states ol Luropc. 5. To declare a j neutrality, at least ostensibly, with respect to the affairs of Turkey. 6. 1 o invite the different Powers to ab stain from open war with Spain.' J. I o agree to repressive and general measures with respect to the press.” A letter from Moldavia states, that the Janissaries again set fire to Jassy on the UUi and 12 th of August.— Two thousand houses were destryeel, and the conflagration had not termi nated when the post left Jassy. 1 An application has been made to | Government, by the merchants tra-j ding to Bahia, for the protection of a British ship of war, in the event of its becoming necessary, on account j pf the impending struggle for inde pendence in that province, to ship off the English residents and their pro perty. No answer has hitherto, we understand, been returned to the ap plication. 1 he Liverpool Courier of tiie 1 1th of September, states that Griffifth's Patent land Carriage will be worked by an engine of seven horse power, and transport six tons at an average rate of five miles an hour. Lawless depredations are com mencing again in Ireland. Mr. Livingston made an ascension | ic a Balloon from Preston cn the 9th ■ September. The ascension was ex-j tremely magnificent. He descended j • in about 25 minutes in the neighbor - hood of Blackburn. LONDON, SEPT. 9- • The conflagration of Jassy in Mol-; t davia, is fully confirmed. The ap -1 pointment of a new Hospodar, and , the apparent settlement ol all existing 3 diffei cnees, had induced many of the , Boyars to return to their possessions e in that principality; trade revived, j anJ all announced peace and pros •s j perity, when in the night of the 10th d 'of August, the streets suddenly re d 1 sounded with furious yells, and every 15 1 house was forced open and plundered it 1 by the Janissaries, who had marched back unknown to the inhabitants.— s In a short time they proceeded from pillage and its concomitant excesses '* to wanton destruction, and the town [ " presented one universal blaze. At g the departure of the courier, the number of houses destroyed by the ! * conflagration was estimated at twenty '* thousand !—lt w-is feared that those r who had hitherto escaped would d share the same fate. This intelli ": gence is, unfortunately, official, and e we expect more detailed particulars '■ i every moment. Till then we are h ; lost in conjectures respecting so sur -0 prising and so deplorable a catas ' i trophe. '* j Accounts from Madrid to the 27th ult, informs us, that the Duke del 11 ; Inf.mtado, the Marquis of Las Ama rablas, the Archbishop of Saragossa, and the Bishops of Malaga and Ceuta ’ have been banished. The garrison ’ of Madrid is paid to have been re -11 duced to 800 »ien, so that the milita e; ry duly was done almost entirely by ! ’ the National Guards. The report of | the defeat of the Tranpiste is con- Y ' firmed, and he is said to have joined 1 Quesado with his remaining fol -11 j lowers. AUGSBURG, AUG. 25- ’; Chourschid Pacha had really pass -11 ed the Thermopylae with only a part 3 of his army, and he had proceeded with the rther part towards Salona to ’ reach Lepanto. At first he really 3 obtained some advantages, which in e duced the Greeks to take-the prudent e resolution to occupy a stronger posi (ion on the lake or river Sperchios, 1 , (now Alammann.) There the Greeks :) came into the rear of the Turks on v all sides, and completely defeated 3 them. L? TRIESTE, AUR. 18. 1 A letter from Durazzo, in Turkish Albania, says li The Greeks gained 15 a great victory near Thermopylae, 1 on the 18ih of July.

Matters lately terminated very dis , asfrously for the Greeks. They have J 1 been (bur or five times bt?aten in re p gular battles, without being able to j make any stand \ and now the Turks . are pouring in troops from the North r j in large quantities. Hitherto an ar , I my has been kept in reserve, to act , i if necessary against Russia, but now , it lias been determined to bring it in , to active service against the unfor tunate Greeks, who are massacred , without mercy, no quarter being al- II lowed.” , | Another letter, same date—“ We ,! have no particulars, but the captains , of severely small vessels report and are believed, that the Greeks are re , tiring, or have been driven in all ( quarters.” ; Corfu, JULY 25. > The accounts from the Continent . of the iGth of this month, informs us . that a post of 30 Franks, encamped ; in the village ol’Pcra, near Arta, was i surprised and surrounded by the ■ Turks. They were taken to Arta i where the barbarians cut ofi’their ears ; and noses,and put out their eyes, and . sent them back in this condition to the • camp of the Greeks; who, inflamed i with anger at this sight, fell upon the i Mahometans, and retaliated, by cut ting in pieces 340 prisnoers who fell in . their hands. While these scenes of horror were passing in the south of Epirus, Mark Botzaris, issuing from the mountains ofSuli, penetrated by the plateau of Joannina, and over-ran the part of Catzana-Choria, from which he drove the Turks, who escaped only by em barking on the Lake to return to the port of Joannina. No reliance is now placed in Greece on the assistance of Russia, to which, as Chourschid Pacha has publicly announced ‘ the Porte had deigned to grant peabe, since it has abandoned the cause of its Greeks fellow-Chri# Bans, and recognised the pre-eminence of the Crescent above the standard of the Cross.’ Though this is merely the boasting of a barbarian, it is not easy to discribe the sinister impression which it has made on the minds of the Chris tians. After the taking of Athens, the Greeks, having learnt the massacres reta l‘ ate d by massacreing all the 1 urks. Iwo I rench vessels suc ceeded in saving about 300 Mussel | man woman. It is afflicting that a ! midst so many instances of invincible valor and perseverance ; religion and ■ humanity should have to deplore ex j cesses, of which Christian soldiers should never he guilty. ■' It is affirmed that in the famous bailie of Thermopylae, the Greeks , were aided by the consuls of a foreign .

PROPOSALS , For publishing in .Milledgeville, Georgia , An Independent Republican paper, 1 TO EE ENTITLED, TH E Georgia Patriot. BY COSAM EMIR BARTLET. SINCE the first establishment of ; our national government, true repub lican principles, and the solid inter ests of our country, have never need ed more honest friends or holder ad : vocates. The corrupting influence ' °f individual ambition has insinua ted itself into the most confidential de -1 P art ments of government, and threa ■ tens the sacrifice of all that is sacred i m principle, or venerable in practice, | on the altar of self-aggrandizcniont. 1 Uur statesmen have overlooked the ■ high interests of their country, in 1 their struggles of personal interest ■ and profit. On the eve of a great election, is the nation presented with i the degrading spectacle of the burli est officers under the Executive, for -1 getful of the confidence reposed in them, and endeavoring bv every art of intrigue and invention, to thwart I the measures of their patron, in order to thrust themselves in his place. Ocr country is torn by factions, created solely by those whp expect to profit by the divisions of the peo ple. Candidates neither distinguish ed for their talents or their public services, are clamorously held forth tor the highest office in the gift of the people, and unblushingly recommend ed upon the sole ground, that such candidates will remember men as well a*principles, and who will reward those who support them. ; It needs not the spirit of prophe cy to foretell, that when the Presi- ■ dential Chair shall have been filled upon such principles, and by such i men, the institutions of our country i will stand upon a frail foundation, - and little will be wanting lo produce 1 | * political earthquake, which shall 1 j bur y our free governments in irre- l trievable ruin. ] , t.HE cry of economy, of reforma- ( tion and retrenchment, has also been i raised to farther the views of faction; i and many of our most valuable tablishments, and useful institution are in danger of being lopped away through a mistaken zeal f or econo my. The cry of economy and retre nc h inent is always popular with the com munity ; and well is it, for the Puri ? v ‘ lor our government, that it j s S J But a wise people will always distin guish between economy and Parsi * mony; between that spirit which su* permtends with vigilance every de" parturient, to check frauds and pre ' vent waste; and that sordid temper" which withholds from government the funds necessary for its liberal ad' ministration. It is an axiom * anc ’ tioned by the authority of manyaV that in times of peace we should ore’ pare for war. If any proof of i ts correctness were wanting, it might be found in the situation of our country during the last contest with England The present administration, profit ing by the lessons of experience* have commenced a plan of defence’ which shall render us invulnerable to all the world. Our little Navy which has shown itself worthy of ourp ro . tection, has been fostered and in' creased. A line of fortifications has been projected, which shall place our sea-board in safety and security Are the people of this country prepared to join in that cry of econo my and retrenchment, which shall sacrifice our Navy to the ambition of any aspiring candidate, and frustrate those great plans of national defence and security, so wisely projected, and so prosperously commenced ? With these facts before us it seems to be the duty of every citizen who reveres the sacred principles of Washington and Jefferson, to rally round the national administration and give their support to those mea sures which promise the prosperity of our country, and those true repub. ‘lean principles, which have aheady advanced the glory of the nation, and are the pledge of its future great ness and perpetuity. With regard to the local politics of the state, the Editor would ob serve, that he will wed himself to no faction; nor be governed in his course by any set or body of men, flie Georgia Patriot shall be an independent Press, published upon free and liberal principles, and will advocate measures and not men. The doctrines which it will inculcate, shall be such as the Editor conceives, will promote the true interests of the state, and the happiness of thepeo pie. Ip all matters of general inter est, the Editor will endeavor to give the truth, the whole truth, and no thing but the truth, to the public, without fear, favor or affection; ac companied with such free and libe ral remarks, as the occasion may seem to demand. In tht discharge of this imperious duty, the Editor will neither bp restrained by motives of self-interest or personal conveni ence. It is a duty which the public have a right to demand of every con ductor of the Press. It is not only incumbent on an Editor to refrain from making false statements, but it is also his duty to give the whole truth. Because the (ruth half told, does all the mischief of direct false hood. It will be the object, as well as the duty of the Editor of the Georgia Patriot, to support and defend the constitution and government of his state; and discountenance all cabals and factions, whose tendency and aim may be, to corrupt the republi can simplicity of our manners, and destroy our free constitution. And also, to protect the officers of govern ment in the honest and upright dis charge of their duty, and in the full exercise ol all their rights, The E ditor is no advocate for arbitrary power; if any officer in the exer cise of his duties, over-leaps thegreat land-marks of the constitution, —let the constitutional corrective be calm ly and dispassionately applied. It docs not become the dignity of a great people, proud of their intelli gonce and patriotism, to suffer them seivcs to be wrought up to a state of phrenzied excitement by a few am bitious demagogues, for a supposed affront offered to our laws ; because, were the injury real, the power of re dress remains in the hands of the people, and may always Lje applied without force and without wrong. As far as the abilities of the Edi tor can go, and the contributions o: his friends will enable him, the para mount interests of literature and nic rality. shall find a hearty encourage ment in the columns of (he Georgia Patriot. No free government can flourish, unless the people, (whence all power and authority emanates) are enlightened in their perceptions; capable of judging between right ard wrong, between aristocratic and de mocratic principles; and of pure manners,—a proof to bribery and corruption. It should be the policy therefore, of every free government, to encourage the dissemination of li terature and knowledge, by every li beral provision consistent with their other duties. Wise plans of internal improvement should likewise be pro moted. They encourage intercom - *'
