LAIE FHOIM FBAIVCE.
CDARtr»TON, March 13. -j (
The arrival of the ship Ihg*rth, Capt. AtiWi j
puts us in possession of files of Taris papers to (l
the 30th. and Havre to the 31sl January mclu- j,
hi»o. We have copied from thorn this morning (l
the most interesting ol their contents. i
There appears to have been up to our last
dates, a great degree of unoeminty as to the
final result of the differences between Holland j
and Belgium : and commercial men were con- .
soinienllv disposed loepcrate with great caution. ,
The Cfhofcrc soems still to bn on the decline )
in England. There were, however, additional
cases in Scotland, some having occured at Mus
selburgh, witliin 6 miles of Edinborough.
The ions items in the Reform Hill were
daily under consideration in llio House of Com
mons, hut no decisive question had as yot been
takenupon it.
A public Mooting was hold at Man hosier on
Sunday, sSid Januaiy, in St. tieorgo’s Fields—
-4,000 persons had assembled by I'd o’clock, and
1,500 of the mditary and police were assembled
to preserve tile peace. One object appears to
have been to petition bis Majesty to spare the
lives of the men condemned at B istid and Not
tmgbam—one of the speakets thought it would
be much better to hang Ihe Jrdof.s, than these
unfortunate individuals. Another object of the
meeting Was to petition for lleform, on the prin
ciples of a Mill prepared by the National Union,
which embraces vote by ballot, universal suf
frages, and annual Parliaments. The meeting
separated quietly.
Hrilish House of Lords. —A warm debate look
place in the House of I.O'ds, on tin; 20lh imnooy,
on a motion of Lord Ant:buki n for inhumation
in relation to the Belgian Negotiation*. The
motion was sustained by the mover, and by the
Duke of Wellington, bulb of whom deprecated
t'.o course pursued by thu ministry, in relation
to the subject.
Lord fiotiKßicii warmly opposed the motion,
and denied that the interests or honour of Eng
bind had in any instance been compromised by
the negotiations. He loudly maintained the
same views on the subject of llio Treaty of Vi
enna in refoienco to ilia free navigation of tint
livers asliis Noble Friend (<jiey,) and c.onctlld
ed by stating his readiness logo to a division,
with a consciousness that the conduct of Minis
teis throughout the most difiiciillcircumstances
in question, had not merited, and llieicfiiio
would not receive,the repudiation of that House.
Lord Akkhiik>.n, in reply, stud he was almost
hi doubt whether the Noble Earl had read the
treaty. If that treaty wore entered into to
morrow, ho defied the Noble Km I to see one half
of it executed. The Noble Karl culled it u do
velnpement of preceding engagements. li
seemed to him a dovelopement by contraction.
If the (hike of Nenniu s was to be rejected by
one parly, and the Duke of Leuchtenbeig by
uinilhor, what become of the independence and
of the undeniable rights of a country thus subject
to llio mlo of another slate? iiis ohjeciion to
llio treaty was, that it rendered it scarcely pus
slide to avoid war. ;Ho admitted that the (iuv
eminent had been somewhat embarrassed, but
assorted that it was but slight. He asserted
that with a view to the continuance of peace,
be hud the utmost reason to regret the retire
muni of the Hoke of Wellington, whose charm-,
tor and whose deeds inspired our allies with,
love, our enemies with fear; and never at uuy
moment did he do so with none success than
at the moment of hie retirement from office.—
After all that had been done, what del it amount
to? Why, that whether peace could he pro
served or not, depended on the question wheth
er one Paiis Banker or another gained the iq.
pur hand. On the whole, such was thu dispu
ted view ofthe subject taken by tin - Mmisteis,
that he could nut possibly uiideisliind tlio rea
son* by which they had been actuated.

COTTON MAR. El'S.
By the arrival of the ship Dover, at Boston,
we‘have advices from Liverpool of 21sl Janua
ry. The sales of Colton had been only to a mo
derate extent, amounting to 11 ,T>oo hales, of
| which 5410 wore Uplands, at 4Jd a 7d. New.
1 Uplands of fair ipiality commanded C£d. and
■ good fail ii\, Impoit 10,111*2 hales.
The trade in the Cotton manufacturing dis- j
trials in England, is represented as having un
| dergone a considerable change for the bettor.
The stocks of Yarns and Goods were much redu
ced, and the demand increasing, and prices ad
vancing.
The arrival of the ship Hogarth, at Charleston,
puls us in possession of advices from Havre of
. Ist of February. The sales of cotton had been
• extensive in that market, reaching72s2 bales at
84 a 871 c. some parcels of choice
commanded 89 a 90c. Import from the Uni

1 The Colton trade in France, and on he whole
( of the Cnntinent of Europe is gradually reviving
i from its long depressed stale. It is iow esti
mated hy tho best informed on this subnet, that
the wants of the whole Continent of Etroj.e for
, the present year, will exceed 2(30,000 lalos of
s American Cotton.
We lay bcfoie our readers the followng ex
-1 tract—
, “ The preliminary statements which we have
i received fiom France, show a consumption fully
J. equal to that of last year's, a circumstance which
t most agreeably surprises us, as wo were prepar
ed for a considerable falling off. Fiom the Con
-3 linent, generally, we learn that the stocks of
CotMn are every where so moderate, tiat if it
, we o not for the advanced state of the season,
t our exports would be continued with uiahated
1 activity. The ‘manufactories in Belgian arc
again in full employ, and it is to ho hop'd that
nothing will ocni to chock their industiy. In
’ Hnmliurif and Germany the business in Colton
r and Y'aius had been had and limited, on account
i of the war in Poland and the ptogress of tho
1 Cholera; the Saxon manufactories suffered nore
J particularly, and many were slopped untruly.
Since the month of October there has boon i fa
■ vo able change; activity prevails once m,;e,
and the storks being nearly exhausted in Hum-
I burg, an advance of IT pur lb. in the pricesof
Yam has taken ) lace.”
Wo have seen several statements this week,
made hy Me;chants in Savannah, estimating the
production of Cotton in this Stale in 1831, con
siderably larger than that of the previous year.
tl.s ( ,lvin;| it tiu their 0,.mi011, dial itiv Atlantic
Stales will export mure Colton in 1831-32, than
in 1830-31, and going even al.ll timber, and sta
ling that the exports from the On If of Mexico
mill, not be deficient in 1831-32 as compared with
1830-31. We have gioat confidence in the o.in
ion of the Merchants in Savannah, hut as it has
not been our custom to receive the sayings of any
mail, o; set of men. on any subject, as orthodox,
unless supported by fuels, so now, wo shall lake
some pains to collect fuels on which to base an
opinion for outsell’. Aflui wo shall have collect
ed all tltO'/bctt respecting the piobablu produc
tion of Cotton in Virginia, the Carolina*, and
Gctv-gin in 1831, wo will lay them before our
readers.
Respecting the production of Colton in those
States, it has boon, and still is on. opinion, that
it was deficient m 1831, as compared with the
production of 18310.
As to the exports from tho Gulf, we give
more credit to the o; inion of intelligent mer
clnuils residing at Ncw-4) leans, than we can
give to the opinion of our Savannah fiends,
highly «s we estimate their opinion.
Tlic follow ing are extracts froMl first rate sour
ce* —
“Wo shall ho more deceived, than wc ever
have been, if thorn is not a deficiency in the re.
cej IsofCutton here, (New-Orluans) as compar
ed with Inst year’s of 130 a 150,000 bales."
“ Tho crops on the Mississippi river will he
short. Last year <130,000 hales of Cotton were
received at New-Orleans, this year, 1 think,
300.000 hales will he the outside quantity, and
some go as low as 20 a 50,000 hales less.”
It appears from all the facts now before the
public, that the protlnclinniA' Cotton in the Uni
ted Stales in 18331 was lUfir.ient as compared
with that of 18310 about 150,000 bales. Now,
4ie production of Cotton in 18330 was 1,038,847

The actual consumption of Amo
sjeau Colton in (ireal-Biitain in 1831
was Clß.tills hales, and it is expected
that the consumption of the present
year vv ill exceed that of the past, we
will, however, estimate it the same, 018,008
Wants of the whole Continent of
Europe 200,000
The Committee at tho Tariff Con.
Vention in N.Vork (see Niles’Week
ly Register, No. 25, vol. s—foiutli
* * - , , ,
series) estimate the home consump
tion of Cotton tho present year at
100.0110.000 lbs. The number of
s| indies in operation last year was
1,240,503, and abopt 400,000 new
sj indies will come into operation this
Veai. If wc en in the estimate of
tbe borne consumption it shall be on
wbal is termed the safe side, wc will
therefore put it down at an/y 210,000 ‘
Wants of 1832, 1118,008 1
Thus it appears, that the mants of 1832 exceed i
tb e supply by 110,338 bales, and that the Stock 1
of American Colton at the close of this j ear will 1
not be sufficient for the facilities of trade. ]

The sales of Cotton, however, hud been re
spectable at former quotations, 8 a Hi. Tke

Our receipts of Cotton have been quite small

firmed hy bur enquiries.
The greater part of our receipts at this season
of the year, and during the summer months, has
been, heretofore, fiom the “ upper counties,”
where, we are credibly informed, the cotton crop
was r cry short. In someoflhc ‘‘upper counties”
the y ield did not exceed one half the Usual quail

The Rah. Roap. I have not been a very ft. m
hehevei in the success of the rail road now erect
ing between this city and Augusta, and a ilde on
it tho other day, about twelve miles—the dis
tance now in use, tho’ it is extended about two
miles farther—by no means tended to strengthen
that belief. That it will he constructed, through
otil, I have no doubt: for 1 piesumu there ii? no
insti-mountable difficulty in the way of that:
bm tlte question is, will it, upon tho present plan,
effect the object of if, when erected ? I think
not. Constructed, as it is, entirely of wood, ex
cept the sl.ips of iron over the rails on which
the cars run—the timbers light, and already in
clined to give way, even with the comparatively
light weight now passing over it—its tendency
to decay, the great expense of keeping it in re
pair, and tho liability ao danger in travelling on
it, must tend to impair ptvhlic confidence in it,
and to render its means of transmission, its pro
fits, and its permanency, somewhat doubtful.
It commences at the upper extremity us tho
city, about midway between King end Meeting
streets, under tho cover of a building, erected in
a large lot, containing a counting room, work
shops, room for cars, and lumber, &c. 2tc. For
five orsix miles out, its course is very indirect
winding first one.vvay and then the other, almost
contimiullv, and sometimes very suddenly, for
the purpose of taking such a route as could ho
obtained without purchase—the persons owning
the land in a direct course having refused to lot
the company pass through it gratis. In sonic
parts of the twelve miles I travelled on it, the
rising ground is cut through, fiom a foot to | er
haps eight or ten feet deep; and, in one place,
for some distance; while the excavation is so
narrow at bottom, without any drain on the sides
of the road, that tho water, in wet weather,
must often cover the limbers, which lie consul
etahly in the earth, and so collect and settle
about them, as to rot them very fust. The heijrlit
et the road from the ground, varies, in passing
liie several low places In the twelve miles, from
one foot to tkirUj. The dimensions of the road
are as follow : The piles, of hewed light wood
pine, vary in size from six to nine inches square,
and are five feet four incites apart, and in two
rows, five and a half feet apart, on the tops of
which rest the cross-pieces, one on each two of I
the piles; and the rail-pieces arc on top of tho 1
cross-pieces. The cross-pieces, of sawed ’urn- 6
her, are eight by nine inches thick, and eight r
feet long, extending abnut a fool past tho rad- d
pieces on each side. The rail-pieces, of sawed I
lumber, are seven by nine inches thick, from s
twenty lo fifty feet long, and four feet ten inches t
apart—running, of course, a little inwardly of li
the rows of piling, or about four inches narrower j o
on each side. On the top of the rail-pieces is an t
iron plate, two inches wide, and half an inch 8
thick, even with the inside of the rail-pieces, a- t
long which run tho wheels of the cars, which are a
of iron, thirty-four inches diameter, with rims, i a
one inch wide, projecting from the inner edge of 1 *
each wheel, which run inside of the iron plates t
on the rail-pieces, and keep the wheels in a line ! t
with the rails. Tim wheels- of the car which 11
carries the steam engine are five feet in diame- j i
ter the cur twenty-five feet long. In front and f
rear of tho engine-car, are two cars, which car- <
ry wood and water, each eleven feet long. ’lho I
car which carries the passengers, and which i
much resembles a Pedler’s wagon in shape and i
appearance, but larger, holding about fifteen or
twenty persons, is attached lo the above men- ( <
tioned cars, and in going out, follows them, but j
in returning, precedes them. The rate of tra- |
veiling is generally twelve miles an hour, and j
sometimes faster. We passed over the twenty- j
four miles, going and returning, in two hours,
exclusive of half an hour s delay, at the end ol
the route, and taking in water on the way back.
The Augusta, Columbia, and Savannah mails,
are all carried ontllio first twelve miles on the
Rail-road; hut the Savannah mail, I under
stand, will shortly toturn to the old road, the
Rail-road being too much out of the direct route.
A few miles out fiom the city, the main Rail
Road is intersected hy another, about a mile in
length, which runs from it at right atrglcs to tire
river, en tho left, and was constructed for the
purpose of bringing up lumber and other materi
als, for the road, and wood, &c. as freight, for
the city.
I noticed, in travelling over the road, that tbe
piling had given way, more or lass, almost every
few yards throughout, the cross pieces being
propped as often, evidently to prevent them
from sinking farther. And not only this, but the
ro’ad would seem, from tho considerable motion
of tho car (which is by no means usual on the
Baltimore and oilier Rail Roads, as wo leant
horn persons who have travelled bn them.) lo
he very uneven; and so far ns my eye would
serve me, at the rapid ralo wc travelled, 1
judged that the rail pieces wore not all as true
as they should ho. If tho piling should have
given way already, and with the comparatively
very light hit; then which has yet passed over it,
what can ho expected of it for any length of
lime, and after the immense loads of cotton, &c.
have been transported on it, which it is expect
ed lo hear ? And the unusual jati iug of the cars
will, of course, lend much to impair and destroy
it. Without knowing whether any other Rail
Road has ever been constructed entirely of wood
—though lam inclined to think none lias—l am
of the impression that such must ho 100 weak,
unstable, and liable to decay, to answer the
I urposes us the one in question. Tho piling, at
least, most soon rot in the ground; and when it
begins to decay, tho road must become very un
safe; for when one pile gives away, and in
creased weight is thrown on tho others, they
will he still more liable to do so, and two, three,
four, or more may yield, and down comes the
cars, engine, freight, passengers, and all, |>er
haps thirty or more feet—or as far as the height
in the highest places yet lo he made, and how
much more than thirty feet that will he, i have no
idea; hut, the highest places will doubtless be the
most liable to decay. Should an accident of this
I kind happen, it would, of course, causa serious
( inconvenience to the public, hy cutting off’, till it
could ho repaired, the ordinary mode of trans
portation.; and might perhaps turn much of tho
1 freight, and all tho passengers, into some other
’ channel of conveyance. All this and more
‘ which it is unnecessary to mention, considered,
f cannot but still think, as I have done hereto
fore, that the success of this enterprise is ex
ceedingly problematical.
1 have spoken thus freely of this Rail Road,
1 because of the interest felt on tho subject in our
• city, and the just apprehensions entertained hy
1 many of the inhabitants, of the injurious effects,
• which its success would have, upon the trade
1 and prosperity of Augusta—and because some
1 of the people of Georgia are rather disposed lo
■ move upon the subject of Rail Reads, and may
1 profit somewhat hy the expei ianoc of their neigh
bors of Carolina.
(Conclusion in our next.)
Savannah. March 12th, 1832.
So the supremo Court, in the plenitude of its
usurped power and authority, has decided
against the State of Georgia, in the case of the
Missionaries—thus declaring that the Btate has
not jurisdiction over the Chonkee lands, nor
power lo punish offences against its laws, com
mitted within its chartered limits. Monstrous!
Why this stiikes at the very toot of State sove
reignty, and if submitted to, would degrade the
Stale to the level of more colonies of the Federal I
Government. But it will not he submitted to. j
The State is solemnly pledged against it, hy an
act of the last Legislature, passed, I bo ievc, i
unanimously, protesting against any interference j
of the Supreme Court in the criminal jurisdic
tion ofthwSlatn, and charging the Governor to
resist any such interference, in the case of the
M ssionaiies, with all the force placed within his '
control, and every civil officer of the Slate lo
aid in such resistance. This was, of course;
approved hy the Governor; and his language, in
laying the citations of the Court hefote the Le
gislature., shews that he conceives it the dutv o'
the Slate and himself, to make such resistance,
if tho Court should assume jurisdiction and de
cide against the State. Hu staled it as his be
lief, that tho Court would not do so; hut de
clared that if it did, it would boa usurpation that
“would call for the most determined resistance." !
'lho State and the confederacy, then, are now !
decidedly at issue, in tho last resetr. Well, bo )
it so since they will have it so, whether or no.— |
We would fain have had it otherwise, and we
did hope that the Supreme Court would not have
been so infatuated in the cause of Federal Usur- i
pation as to make such a decision, with all the
consequences ] lainly before it. It has made it, 1
however, and the question now i c , will it attempt
>o enforce it!—or will it have the power to make
Buell an attempt, beyond u mere order
release of the Missionaries, or Writ of Ji 1B .
damns, or a Writ of Habeas Corpus'! Will an 1
Federal officer in the State, attempt to execuiCsS 1
sncli order, or Writs!—or, will Gon.
tile Court with the Military power? We u ■ WC
lie’ve that any citizen of Georgia, acting M B.'
officer of the Federal Court, rather than becom. | ,iß*j
the medium of enforcing its unjust and ucgrj ***
ding mandate against his own Stale, will at on Cl rißp
follow the noble example of Mr. H*bebsh w '
and indignantly return his commission. Ano vjijß
after what (Jen. Jackson has said and done r jHT
sanclirn of the jurisdiction of Georgia, over th ß
Cherokee Territory, one may hope, and believe ***
that he will not aid the court in contradiction jJ'
his own opinions. But, then, when wo rollon Bi

no more authorized by the constitution than this » r

TTXITKI) STATUS HANK—XO.H. i In
Has the United Stales Bank done any tiling, Ivl
more than all the Stale Banks do, to givo uiiitV.it. B

ofils branches tefuifo to receive the notes ofllm
mother hank and all the other branches on dope- I
sit ? Do they not reject them even in payment I
, for debts duo to the hank ? Does nut the biancli I *
in Now Yo.k, where in fact the greater part of
the revenue is collected, refuse lo receive them ■
from the stale hanks, in settlement so-their
notes icoeived in payment on account of duties'
Does not all the branches reject them in the like I
manner for claims of the same kind, as well ie I
every other? Has not the agent of the hank I
after discounting bills of exchange, added to llik
interest an half | er cent, for premium on Fnitefi
Stales hank notes? And are these ilm pracli-'i*
by which the unifu.m value is given lo the n lies
of the United States hank ! In a word, iu.wli.ii I
do the branches oT tho United States hank 1
differ, si* far as the public is concern'd, |
from so mny local hanks, without conucsiuii I
with each oliici ? Is nothing. Let Congress 1
rcve'.so iho picture and make the notes of the I
state hanks a legal lender, and i eject those of
the United Stales bank, in payment for duties
and lands, and then sue if this Uniterm value so
boasted of, would not be transferred to those of
stale banks. The government is necessary to
the hank, and not the hank to the government.
It is tho government which creates and main
tains the uniformity of its currency—in spite of
the ope. a'ions of the hank itself, which all tend
th establish a difference in it—for its ovyn purj o
s'os. The dircctois of the bank say it cannot rc
•ccive its own notes, hut at the point they arc
made payable ; that if compelled to do so, its
ruin must he the result. Are they not all local
hanks, then,hound together as a grand monopoly
(or all purposes of profit to itself, while as regard?
the public accommodation it is shorn of its nse-
Cuhi css? Why should such a monopoly or com
bination of local banks, hu prefeired lor the pe
culiar ami exclusive enjoyment of the patronage
of tho government ? Are the stock holders
more wo.thy, or bettm citizens? Have they
done more for the country ami liberties of the
people? Are they a more noble and supeiiw
race? Are they more intelligent or more hon
est? On Iho contrary, does not one fourth
the stock belong exclusively to foreigners, men
who are enemies in our prosperity—who have
been enemies when our comitiy was in danger,
and who on a like occasion would ho our eric
mies again! Is it not apparent on the face of
tiro returns made by the bank itself, that the
president and a majority of irs directors’ are ■
more trustees, to enable foreigners to evade the
laws of the states'—laws which all the states
■have deemed necessary and salutary.
That tho bank is eSnmniciit to the Secretary
| of the Treasury in the collodion of lie revenues
j ofthe government, nobody will deny. That it
is necessary sot that purpose, no rnau of veracity
i "’HI assert—because the fact that the collections
j were as safely and cheaply undo during several
j years when there was no such hank, stands
| ready In contradict him. The same a", cans,
j only increased in amplitude and security are
now (.limed for tho same purpose, gratis—nay,
, begged to be accepted—liy institutions as-sale

whole influence of Iho government nt its back,
though they have been thus robbed ofthe host
i half of their earnings—and if they have con
ducted so’well under the ban and tipprf'ssion of
the government which owes them a re election,
why may they not equally well or bettor, when
some o( its patronage is extended lo them, and
withheld from llitnr oppressors?
It the notes ot all tho stato banks, which paid
specie on demand, wore made receivable in
payments to the government, their value would
be as uniform, and they would answer all the
purposes of government equally as wf'ii or bet
