from the Staunton, Va. 1 armer. CARNOT. I have particularly known Carnot when he was a member ol the French government; my vocation called me every week near him.— I have, therefore, been able to judge him. I have seen him in his cabi net, form, direct, and conduct, four teen armies at once, amounting to about one million anda ball of men and traced the attacks and defen ces of each army. It is to him that France is indebted lor the organi zation of those armies which hava awed and conquered the despots ol Europe. I have seen Carnot a la borious, active, good, and bounti ful man, of easy access to every bo dy, without ostentation, without luxury. No man ever loved civil and religious liberty more than he did. He cherished his country; his only ambition was to render France free and happy ; had he chosen, he might many times have been what has since h en Bona parte ; but their views were very different; the one did all for him self and his family, the other all for his country. Ilis disinterested conduct contrasted strongly with that of those French bloodsuckers, who, under the cloak of Republi canism, have amassed great riches at the expense of the people, whom they have ruined and subjected. Carnot lived and died without fortune ; a great part of his income was emploved in acts of benevo-j lence, generally in favor of the de-’ fenders ofliis country. I tv">'e seen him give 25 Louis j ( $120) the only money he had at his disposal, to the widow of an officer who had been killed in the army of Sombre and Meuse, and I whom he had never known or seen.■ Ilis talents with regard to milita- j vy genius,his writings, his discour ses, his defence of Antwerp, need no eulogium ; posterity will appre ciate them ; the time will come when it will hardly he believed that Carnot died exiled by the govern ment of his country : and, notwith standing all his enemies, the ty rants of Europe and their satel lites have said of him, and may yet say, the vile conduct of his country men in Spain, who, after having a thousand times sworn to live free or die, now not only humble them selves under a tyrant, but moreo ver render themselves instruments of despotism in subjecting a nation who has not provoked them ; their conduct l say will prove to posteri ty whether they or Carnot were friends to mankind. The name of Carnot is, perhaps, the only French name which de serves to be ranked with those of the illustrious Romans and Ameri cans who have honored their coun trv by their talents and their patri otism. The enemies of Carnot will, per haps, accuse me of partiality or of animosity. But they must know that Carnot never did any thing for me ; that I never had any- busi ness with Bonaparte or the Bour bons ; that 1 am neither exiled nor proscribed : but that I came to this country to enjoy liberty, and that I am the bearer of the best testimo nies from ray counts men and from my government. It is true that I belonged to the armies of the French Republic till the moment when I saw their liberty annulled by an usurper. Mav they finally know that, thanks to God, I am not French. S. British Cotton Manufactures. — We lately gave an account from authentic documents of the wool en manufactures carried on in Great Britain. From the same source, we have ascertained that about 240,000 hands, or persons chiefly children, are employed in the spinning of cotton thread.— ‘i hese manufacture as much thread by power of water or steam, and the application of the new impro ved machinery, as could have been done by 28 millions eight hundred thousand persons bv the finger on lv. Comparatively there are hut few consumers of this immense production ia Great Britain. It is taken by about 100 millions, Rus sians, Poles, Germans and others, in thread, and by about 150 mill ions'of the inhabitants of North and South America, Asia, &c. be sides home use, and consumption of the colonies in every quater Cal culations have been made, by which it appears that the improved power of Mnchinarv in Great Britain alone, has in the last 40 years in creased to such a point that it now executes or produces as much of formed fashioned material, as could have been done formerly by mere manual labour of 250 millions of adult labourers, in the prepara tion of wool, cotton, silk lace, iron, copper, lead wood and other raw materials. N. 2 . Eve. Post. iNvdcu tuteUfflnuc* By arrivals at New York and Charleston, London dates to the evening of the 9th September in clusive, have been received. Paris papers of the 6th received in Lon don contained no advice of the an ticipated attack on Cadiz ; the gen eral opinion among the French offi cers appears to be that the capture of the place would not he that tri fling enterprise which they had re presented. One letter from an offi cer says : “ Gould we fight, victory is ours, hut the position of Cadiz is unassailable ; marshes and water surround it; we see no enemy; some wandering hands infest our flanks and rear, hover around, and cut off our stragglers, but retreat the moment our troops approach and only intercept our communica tions.”—Paris papers of the sth contain a dispatch from Gen Guil leminot giving an account of the preparations making to attack the Trocadero, and the papers of the 6th contain another received by Telegraph dated at Sante Marie, 31st Aug. giving an account of the fall of the Trocadero, and stating that the Spaniards had 150 killed and 250 wounded and lost 900 pri soners and more than 50 pieces ot cannon—Portugal is said to have joined the cause of the French and to have sent a naval force to assist in the siege of Cadiz Rear Ad miral Hamelin, had thrown up his command of the French blockading squadron without leave, and Rear Admiral Baron du Peeve had left Paris for the purpose of taking the command of it.—Nothing is said in any of the accounts respect ing Mina. Pampeluna and St. Se bastian still held out. Advices from Rante and Corfu, contained in letters from Trieste of the 21st ult mention that the Turkish fleet in that neighborhood was in a state of great insubordina tion, and that the plague prevailed onboard many' of the ships. That of the Greeks maintained a posi tion favorable for an attack, but their naval commander had deter mined to delay it, until disease and mutinous spirit of the sailors had weakened the Turkish fleet in a still greater degree. Freemasonry. —The following no tification has been issued by the Grand Lodge of Ireland, on the subject of the late Act of Parlia ment. “ l he Grand Lodge ot the An cient and Honorable Society of Free and Accepted Masons of Ire land, having taken int o its most se rious consideration the Act of Par liament recently passed and reflec ting that Freemasons have inva riable professed unbounded allegi ance to their Sovereign, fidelity to the Government, and obedience to the laws : and considering also that the strictness of Masonic Se crecy forbids the Members of our Order from giving publicity to any of our Usages, and consecjuenth that under the New Act, our Mem bers might possibly, if they contin ued to meef.be placed in the dis agreeable alternative of cither ap pearing contumacious to the Ma gistracy on the one hand, or guilty of a breach of Masonic duty on the other. The Grand Lodge, there fore, under the sanction, and with consent and approbation of his Grace the Duke ot Lei us er, Grand Master of Masons in Ireland, du ly considering the peculiar situa tion in which the Order is placed ; Orders and directs that after the expiration of 14 days Irom the pas sing of the said Act that is to sav, after the Ist day of August 1823, all Lodges and Assemblies of Free masons, in Ireland shall cease to meet as Freemasons, until again called together by the authority of the Grand Master, whenever the Legislature, in its wisdom, may think it expedient tn repeal said Act, or so to modify the same as I that the meeting of our ancient. Peaceful and Benevolent Institu tion in Ireland, may be placed un der similar circumstances as those of the Fremasons of England. — Signed by Order. J. WILLI AM HOUT. Sec. LATEST I KOM PERU. By an arrival at New-York., ac counts from Callao have been re ceived to the 19th of June. The royalist troops to tire number of 7000 men, under Canterac and Valdez, entered Lima the 18th June, without oppositton. The Patriots having retreated lor Cal lao with the most valuable part of their property, as soon as they as certained that Canterac was ap proaching the city. A demand was made hv the royalists on Lima, for 5300,000, a quantity of duck, cloth and arms for their troops ‘The money and clothing were furnish ed. On the 25th the Royalists made an attack on Callao, but were defeated with some loss. I he Congress of Peru was about leaving Callao for Huanchaco which place was to he considered the seat of the patriot government during the stav of the Spanish troops in Lima. The body had been in secret session some davs j when the Cora sailed, which caused great anxiety among the people. The Patriots were fitting out an other expedition to reinforce Gen. St. Cruz at Arica.—Gen. Sucre, of the Colombian service, had been appointed General in Chief at Cal lao during the absence of the Con gress. The Legislature of Tennessee have adopted a resolution, introduced by Mr. Grundy, instructing their Sena tors and Representatives in Conpress not to attend a Congressional Caucus for the purpose of nominating a can didate for the Presidency. T.te Cotton Market in New- 2~ork is still good—new’ is quoted at 184 a 19, with a diminished stock. Os Rice there was none in market; the ast sales were made at 475. Accounts from Mobile of the 16th ult. state that one third, at least of the Cotton in that state was de stroyed by rot. A vineyard of Mr. Eichelber ger, in York, Penn, contains 10 acres covered with vines of Lisbon, white and other grapes. He will make 40 barrels of wine this sea son, and he intends to extend his vineyard to 20 acres next year. A dud. —ln Charleston Harbour, at Fort Johnson, on Monday, Oc tober 6, at 12 o’clock precisely, a Duel was fought between Edward P. Simons, Esq. Warden of the city and Mr. Gilbert C. Geddes, son of the Intendant. Four shots were fired without effect. On the sth round, Mr. Geddes was slightly wounded in one thigh, and grazed on the other, and Mr. Simons shot through the abdomen, seriously, if not mortally, by Mr. Geddes, who had reserved his fire untd alter he was wounded himself. The whole was conducted according to estab lished usage, in presence of be tween a dozen and twenty persons in the enclosure ; and a number without—the printer’s boarding crews looking out and bringing up the news. The parties had return ed to town and lay weltering in the bed of honour. Commercial Advertiser.

On Thursday the 7tli inst. the Election look place at Milledgeville by both brandies of the Legislature for Governor for the next two years, and on counting oul the votes it apprur ed tii it Col. GEORGE M. TKOI i* was alerted hy it majority ol lour votes over t'apt. Mat thew Talbot. Much interest was lclt in this election, and we are sorrv to say that | ukkty feeling raped much higher than we had antici pated. We hope, however, thut the choice the legislature has made will fulfil the wishes of the people. As to the politieal course to be pursued by the Governor of Georgia, we doubt not it would have been the same il the election had terminated otherwise. This parly spirit, then, that is raging so high, being the offspring of prejudice ought to he abandoned on both sides. Before the present Governor’s term of office expires, we hope the Constitution uill have been so altered as to give ihe choice of his suc cessor to the people. Notices have been re ceived in both houses, of motions for commit tees to prepare a hill having that for itsol.jt ct; and it passed this session (as no doubt it will) let it be made the Shiboleth to a seat in either branch at the not election. W hen ever) thing else fails, this will probably have the desired ; effect. At 12 o'clock on Wednesday, the Governor transmitted to both houses the follovvtug Executive Department, Geo. £ Milledgeville, 3th Nov. 1523.} fellow Citizens of the StvSSt, and of the House of Representatives: The period has again arrived, when it becomes my duty, to lay before you, as the immediate representatives of the people,an account of the past year’s administration of the government,with such views of future measures, as I conceive would promote the prosperity of the state. As directed by the last Legislature their resolution of the 29th November, 1822, urging the dividing line between the state of Alabama and Georgia, to be run in compliance with the arti cles of agreement and cession of the 24th April, 1802, has been communi cated to tlte President of the United States, and to the Executive of the state of Alabama. Owing probably to the contemplated treaty with the Cherokee Indians not having been concluded as was then anticipated, no measures have been adopted bv the general government upon the subject; the proceedings of the Legislature of the state of Alabama respecting it, are herewith communicated. Upon application to the President, the commission for receiving the claims against the. Greek Nation o ’ Indians, under the treaty of 1821, w as kept open, under the syperintemlance of Stephen Pleasantson, Esq. till the first day of August last. The further sum of fifteen hundred and ninety - eight dollars lias been allowed the first and second instalments of which be ing S*39 20 lias been received, which, together with £35,495 44, previous ly received, amounts to £36,134 64, the whole amount received on account of the claims. Out of which the sum of £2B, 295 21 v has been paid to dif ferent claimants—leaving a balance of £7,839 43|, which is deposited in the Branch of the Darien Bank at this place, subject to tiie order of the Exe cutive. Besides these, other claims of the same description have been re cently allowed, amounting to the fur ther sum of £9,558 60, the two first instalments of which, amounting to £3,823 44, were yesterday received in a di aft on the Branch Bank of the U. S. at Savannah. Upon the application of the Legis lature of this state, an appropriation was made by Congress, at toe last ses sion, for the purchase of certain reser vations of land taken by heads of In dian families, under different treaties heretofore concluded with the Creek and Cherokee Nations of Ind ians. Duncan G. Campbell and James Meriwether, Esqs. commissioners ap pointed by the President to treat with the Cherokees for a cession of territo ry, were also instructed to negotiate the purchase of all reservations taken within the limits of Georgia. By the letter of the commissioners, which is now submitted to you, you will per ceive how far they have proceeded in the discharge of their duty. The ori ginal conveyances which they have ta ken, I transmit to the House of Itepre aentatives, they having reached me yesterday, I have not been able to have them copied. In relation to these, it is probable von may consider some le gislation necessary. I would suggest the propriety ot their being registered as original titles, a:.u of soi>.w .

Under an act of the Inst Legislature, . directing that the dividends upon tig bank stock heretofore set apart for tit endowment of County Academics, is well as all other monies in the Treat, ury, which have arisen from the sale of confiscated reverted property and escheated estates, should be divided among the several counties in the state, until each county should have received the sum of two thousat.ddol lars, including the amount alreadv received in cash or confiscated proper ty, at one eighth of the amount given for the same, 1 have cause*/ an esti mate to be made of the sums subject to distribution under this act, and of the amounts heretofore received bv several of the counties, and fimliag that the whole sum subject to distri bution at the time, would not give more than about five hundred dollffi to those that had received nothing,and make np that sum to those that had 1 received less than five hundred dol lars, I have drawn accordingly in their ’ lavor, as far as applications have heet • made for such sums as they v ere res pectively entitled to under the rule of distribution. The sum of twelve thousand dollars denominated the Poor school Fuud, directed by an act of the last session, tobe distributed among the different counties, in proportion to the number of poor children which should be re turned in conformity to the secoini section of the said net, lias not been touched in consequence of the returns of the number of children not having been made to the Executive, as requir ed by said act, for without, no jn? ! distribution could be made.
