FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. J
The Napoleon, which was announced
is being below yesterday, has arrived
with London papers to the 25t hos Aug.
and Liverpool to the 27th; both inclusive.
French Chums. — We understand that
our collector, M;ij. Swart wont, has re
ceived a letter from Mr. Ogden, Aineri-
can Consul at Liverpool, in wheh it is
stated that there is a strong probability u
that the new French government will spe
■llly come to an amicable settlement ol
the claims of the American Merchants j
for tlie spoliations of the Imperial gov
ernment upon our commerce. Such a
result we have eagerly been expecting
from tlie favorable crisis in French nll'airs,
and the great inlluence Lafayette now (
exercises in the French Councils. _
Tlie general aspect ofthe intelligence
by tliis arrival, is favorable to the cause
of freedom, and indicates very strongly
that the repose of Europe will not he dis-
turbed by the recent gbrious events '
France. Neither of the great powers of i
Eurojic, has yet formally recognized the
government of France, and indeed suffi
cient time has not yet elapsed for mutual (
consultations and explanations. Eng- j
land, however, receives the exiled mon- (
arch only as a private individual, and it
is reported is pressing her allies to join >
with her in tin* acknowledgement of !
“Tlie King of the French.” Tlieconduct
of Prussia is reserved hut through the
whole of Germany, the news from Franco
has been received with the same enthu- *
siastie joy by the people, with which it '
was hailed in England and the United
States. Even in Spain, the impressions
is such, that, to aveil an apprehended '
insurrection, it is reported the King is
preparing to concede a charter to his
people.
The Paris Correspondent tiflhe Morn
ing Chronicle says, it is gene/ally believ
ed that vesting the Committee of the
Chamber of Deputies witi executive
powers will occasion delay, that the in
vestigation will he a long one; and that
the actual government would he glad
to avoid condemnation ofthe ministers.
As Peers, they could onlyliave been ar
rested by the consent of t|ie Chambers;
and if they hud travelled! in their own
names, with proper passports, their ar
rest by any of the munleiial authorities
would have been void. 'lxe question of
the impeachment is lull of legal difficul
ties. .Moderate men dread tin- effusion
of blood, and are apprehensive that if the
examinations begin, they must go on to
a great extent. (Should llolignac be be
headed. the lives of several others nearly
as culpable will he demanded. (Some
persons have already required that .Mar
shal Honrmontshall have his baton taken
from him, or he tried for die Waterloo
affair. The government is anxious to u
vert tlie excitement such measures would
produce.
The Tri-Colour. —Many inquiries have
been made of late, as to the true origin
of the tri-colored flag, and of what is it
emblematical. Wo find the following
explanation in n paper before us: Before
tlie Revolution the City of Paris hud co
lors of its own —red and blue —the white
being the colour of the King and his ar
my. After the taking of the Hostile, the
armed bourgeoisof the city, leaving taken
tlie name of the National Guard, added
the white to the two previous colors of
Paris, for the purpose of indicating that
tlie King was no longer a separate estate,
and that, his power had passed into the
hands of the people. Thus the tri-colour '
became tlie national colour.
Gen. Randmud, mentioned in another
paragraph of this summary, as having
keen appointed by tlie king of tlie French
on a special mission to England, arrived
in London on (Saturday afternoon, Aug.
21st. The General proceeded to the
Foreign Office, and paid a visit to the
Earl of Aberdeen; from thence to the
residence of the duke of Wellington, in
Downing street; and afterwards to the
Colonial Office, where the General had
an interview with Sir G. Murray.

( II.V3IBEU OF PEEKS, Aug. SI.
The President informed the Chamber
that the Minister ofthe Interior had the
followjng letter forwarded to him from 1
Abe Prince de Polignac:—
SL Lo. August 17.—“31. le Baron.—
Having been arrested tit tlie moment of
flying from the late deplorable events, &
when 1 was endeavoring to emigrate in
to the island of Jersey,! surrendered to the
Provisional Committee of the Prefecture I
of Le 31 anclie, as the Charter did not al- i
low the Procurcur dulloiofthc Arron- i
dissement of’St.Lo. nor the Judge ofdTn- i
struction, to issue ti warrant against me.
Supposing that the Government has giv- •
on orders for my arrest, it must be re ■
inembered that the Chamber of Peers
alone, according to the now as well as I
the old Charter, lias a right to arrest a I
Peer of the realm. Ido not know what ’
the Chamber will do in that respect, 1
and if it will put to my account the i
untoward events, which 1 regret more i
than any one else; events which struck 1
us like a thunderbolt, that no one could
foresee and ave«)t; foVTn that terrible mo
ment it was impossible.to know who to ;
listen to, who to apply to, and alt we could i
do was to defend life. 1
“I should wish 31. le Baron, to retire to <
my own house, there to resume those (
peaceable habits w Inch coincide so muc h i
with my inclinations, from which I was ’
called against my own will as is well (
known by those who are acquainted with i
my character. Too ninny vicisitudes have ’
filled my life; too manymisfortunes have <
passed ovenny head in ikiy timiulluousea- I
reer. At least, ia the days of my prosper!- I
ty. no one can accuse m 3 ofhavingharbo- <
red any spirit of revenge against those i
who, perhaps,took ndvintage oftheirfor- i
tune to persecute me in lid versify, and, in- t
deed, 31. le Baron, what would he my fate. 1
if in the midst ofthe turbulent nge in which
we live, the political Opinions of those t
who are borne down by the tempest, arc s
considered as treason by those who cm s
brace the opinions of an opposing party? t
“Iff am not allowed to retire to my r
own estate, I should foe'desirous of going s
to a foreign country with iny wife and
children. If, after all, the Chamber of <]
Peers issues a warrant against me, 1 t
should wish to be imprisoned in the o
fort of Ham, in Pirardy, where I was ti
detained during the long captivity which
I supported in my youth, or in sonic spa- J
cions and convenient citadel. I prefer
Ham to any other, as being most favor
able to my bod state of health, not a little s
Ctyy nwltKt a»ii%r
ncreased by the late unfortunate events.
The misfortunes of an honest man are
entitled to some consideration in France;
but at any rate, 31. le Karon, it would be
inrbarous to drag me forth to the capi
tal at a moment when so many passions
ire in ferment against me, which time a
lone can appease.
“I have been long accustomed to see
all my designs construed into the most
odious colors. 1 have exposed to you
all my wishes, Monsieur le Karon; and 1
beg of you to communicate them to those
who ought to know them, and also to
believe me, &c.
((Signed) “Print/e de POLIGNAC.
“P. S. I beg of you to let me know
when you receive this letter.
The President. It appears to me that
on this occasion the Chamber ought to
nominate a commission which will bring
up this report at the first sitting.
The chamber unanimously decided
t iat a commission of seven members
should be chosen. Cots were imme
diately drawn by the President, and it
will make its report at the next sitting.
“ADDEST OF 31. DE POLIGNAC.
“Saint-Lo, Aug. 17.—The Marchioness
de St. Fargeau arrived at the house of
Piquemml, the principal innkeeper at
Granville, and during the 15th inst. she
was seen to go three times into a low
cabaret and speak to a man dressed bad
ly enough, but whose maimers possessed
too much ease for a livery servant, such
as he appeared to be. The suspicions
of some men of the N ational Guard were
excited 'at the circumstance. One of
them demanded of the stauger who he
was, and presenting a pistol at him forc
ed him to set down.
He was conducted before Mayor,
when alter some minutes spent in inter
rogating, he requested to sp<alt to the
Mayor in private. In his conversation
lie stipulated for personal protection,
and admitted himself to be prime Jules
ilc Polignac.
Alter a long examination ho wastrans
ferred, under a strong escort, from the
Prefecture to the prison, if the distance
had been long, the military forct) could
not have preserved him in their custody.

cried out, ‘(^ii’ or le pende ! ala gi lluline !

highly favorable diameter :
" Liverpool, Aug. 25th, 1830.
I have the great satisfaction to inform
yon that our negotiations with tins coun

manner. Mr. 31'Lunearrived here the
evening before the Inst, and forwards Ids
despatches by the Napoleon this niorn
mg. ilc informs methat the British Go

direct intercourse with the West Indies
upon the terms of the net of July, 1825.
The Proclamation of the President, mi
ller the late net of Congress, will be the
hrst step. Immediately thcreallcr, Great

Extract of a letter to (he Editorsof the

\ our 31 in is ter, to Ids great credit, lias
succeeded iu obtaining the consent of this
Government to open the intercourse be
tween the United States and the British
West India Colonies, and it is probable
that your President will, in a few days,
after this readies you, issue the procla
mation contemplated in Ids iMessage last
session ; a 3lessage which, you may re
member, I approved of at the time, be
cause it showed a disposition on your
side to remove every subject of difference
between the two countries. The Gov
ernment of this country has displayed e
qualgood feeling in meeting this disposi
tion, and 31r. 3leLane deserves the gra
titude of the American nation for Ids un
wearied labors, and the persevering skill
and intelligence which he has pul forth in
attaining this result.”

CUItIOSITY.
This country abounds with Lakes or
ponds from a few yards to a rMe in dia
meter—the banks arc sometimes sloping,
bat generally abrupt. The water is of
ten of great depth. A circumstance oe
curred a few days since which shows
the manner in which they are formed. —
This country is based on a porous shell
rock of the most recent, or tertiary for
mation, which is penetrated in every di
rection by streams of various magni
tudes, from the rivulet, to navigable riv
ers. The Wuncissa which rises in Jef
ferson county, is supposed to discharge a
larger volume of water than James Div
er at Didimond. The Wakulla is also n
considerable river at its first appearance.
It is supposed to discharge the waters of
Lake Jackson and the Inmonin. Be
tween the fountain of the Wakulla and
these lakes a number of smaller ones oc
cur at intervals. The water is deep and
transparent at all seasons, indicating n
constant supply and discharge by sub
terraneous channels. About four miles
South-West from this place, in their vi
cinity. a lake of about half an acre in ex
tent was formed last Friday night. We
are told that a party were fire hunting
deer, and had passnd the spot but a few
moments previously.—'Die earth, which
was covered with large trees, fell with
a tremendous crash, and the frightened
huntsmen lied in consternation. The
spot lias since been visited by some gen
tlemen from this place—they slate that
it is from forty to fifty feet from t lie sur
face to the water, the depth of which was
not ascertained. The hanks afe nearly
perpendicular. The sink is surrounded
by high sand ridges.
From the Richmond Enquirer, t«t instant.
On Monday Evening, the 20th ultimo,
the President reached Lexington, Va.—
The opposition Editorofthat town states,
that not only were the Jackson men
“ pointed in their attentions” to him, but
that “ all indiserimately, treated him with
the respect due to the first magistrate of
our country’’—that they found him “very
conversible on all subjects that arose in
the course of conversation,” and that “he
expressed himselfin some cases, with an
openness mid decision,” which seems to
have surprised the aforesaid Editor. He
also professes to give an account of the
President’s remarks on Internal Improve
ments ; in which the President is made to
say, that “tVi construction of military roads
by the general government, was the ut
most length he could go.”,
On Thursday Evening, the President
arrived at Orange Court House ; and
many of the Citizens of the village and
vicinity waited upon him, and were in
troduced to him by 3lnjor Donclson, lis
private Secretary. “The President (snys
the Deporter) was in line health, and -e
--nlized our most flalteringnnlicipationsof

FROM THE SOUTHERN PATRIOT.
As the probable extent of the present
cotton crop is n (natter of much conjec
ture, we have been favored with a copy
of the folio wing letter, in reply toacirl
cularsent from this city, which contain!
much information on the subject!—
A UGUSTA, 27(h Sept., 1830.
“Beliciing that it will be agreeable O
yon to receive any information on tl#
subject of the Cotton crop, which yon
do not possess, we respectfully offer W>
you the following statements: Our ii
fonnation from North and South Caroli
na corresponds with yours. From Vir
ginia, we are informed that though these
is consideruble increase of cultivation,
the ensuing crop, in consequence of very
unfavorable seasons, will not exceed the
last, which was about 40,000 bales. The
crop of Georgia will undoubtedly be short
of lust year at least 35 per cent; ami per
haps the mass of intelligent persons in the
country believe that the deficiency will
be even greater than one-fourth. From
Montgomery, (Alabama,) we art* inform
ed by an intelligent Merchant (who will
lot admit the Planters' estimate oft defi
; ciency.) that he verily believes there will
be a deficiency from the last crop of 1-sth.
In Cahawba and Tuscaloosa, we have
• information from two respectable indivi
s duals, of whom we asked, and they took
• a good deal of pains to acquire it, that
the crop of youth Alabama will be about
■ 2-sths short of what it was last year—all
- speaking of exports, and not of the crop a*
■ compared with expectations. From Madison
1 County, Alabama, we have information
i from a person just thence, that the usual
‘Stiniate of the crop there is about 400 lb.
■ o the acre—against the usual product of
• .000 lb. to’the same quantity of hind, &it
I fc the opinion of the informant, the other
1 ouuties of North Alabama have suffered
hr drought as much as Madison, From
■ 'Jennessee and Mississippi, we have no
hibernation on which we can fully rely,
tlough we expect it. Several reports
sty that these sections of country have
si fie red as much by drought as those*
previously referred to."
The following letter te the Editor of
this paper is from a merchant of high re
spectability and demands the most seri
ous attention of our readers. The last
hold of the Turifiites is the pretended redne
tionof prices upon imports burthened with
taxation. Mr. Clay clings to this false
and actually ridiculous idea with as much
perseverance as llezekiah Niles, though
we cannot think that there is a well-in
formed man in the republic who does
not know it he untrue and deceptive upon
general theoretical principles, ifpracticnl
knowledge were out ofthe question. For
proof upon this subject from undoubt
ed facts, our correspondent may be im
’ plieitly relied on. Ills advice to the
planters ofthis State is sufficient evidence
ofhis disinterested patriotism, when it is
remembered that his interest will not be
promoted by the practical execution ol
ids suggestion. Such demonstrations of
the effects of our prohibitory policy will
assuredly come home to the heart, and
the judgement of every reader, however
much he may have heretofore distrusted
our reasoning upon the subject of his un
just oppression. —Columbia Telescope.

Jl/y Dear Sir. —l think it my duty to

raise the prices of woollen goods manu
factured in this country—those surplus
stocks have in fact made goods decline
