Thus also they talk of the great day when Fer dinand is to return —a day when torrents of blood will flow in the streets of Madrid.” Letters by the Hunter, from Liver pool, state that a most extensive tire took place on the night of the 21st of Get. All the fine ware Houses in Wapping were burnt down to the ground, and a vast amount of property therein destroyed. They were lull of Corn.—Courier. Accounts by a later arrfval inform us that— The King of Spain is pursuing with (lie utmost recklesness his plans of vengeance. It is calculated that 15,- 000 persons will be banished from Madrid under his decrees, and a vast number of persons be obliged to leave Spain. Most of the banished take re fuge in France. Mina is said to have issued a proclamation, declaring that the King has been guilty of per jury, and that he is wholly unfit to govern the country. The London Morning Chronicle says, it was well known in Paris on the 16th Oct. that Prance, Spain and Portugal had concluded a treaty for the restoration of the American Co lonies to the legitimate sway of the two latter powers. SIERRA LEONE. Portsmouth , Eng. Oct. 9.—Arri ved his Majesty’s gun brig Snap per, from the coast ot Afiica, where she had been employed upwards of three years in the suppression of slave trading. She left Sierra Le one on the Ist Septemher, and on the 2d, Lieut. T. H. Rothery, her commander died. The most im portant article of information bro’t by the Snapper is, that the Ashan tees were approaching Cape Coast in considerable numbers, with the intention of making an attack on and plundering the colony. The private and public property there is very considerable. Sir Charles M’Carthy was about to leave Sier ra Leone for Cape Coast, to direct the operations. Captain Laing, of the Royal African corps, had collected a force of 7,000 men (principally natives) to resist the Ashantees. Com. Sir Robert Mends was at Cape Coast, with the Owen Glendower and Driver, for the purpose of affording all possi ble aid to the military forces. The Ashantees were said to have arri ved within nine miles of the col ony. We are happy to hear that the Owen Glendower, had captur ed in the river Bonny, two Spanish schrs. with 260 slaves on board ; bu’ though the French have had a squadron of five vessels of war at Goree the last 12 months, four of them were about to returu to France, (having been relieved; without having made a slave cap ture : a recent arrival from the river Seslos stated that the traffic in slaves is carried on w ith redoub led energy by the subjects of the Kings of France and Spain, at the Galinas, and on the coast of Cape Palmas. It appears that revolu tion and legitimate claims are as much the political feelings of the day in Africa as in Europe. Al manv Abdtilkadue has been recal led to the throne of the Foulahs and Boukari Alfia has been sent to private life. In the Madingo Country, Fatimaha Mordie has been deposed, because, contrary to ancient usage, he had determined on palaver without the consent of the other Chiefs ; he was moreover not allied to the principal families in the Madingo Country hut was a new raised Chief! It will be lier.rd with pleasure that the gum trade with the Moors at Portendic, which was long lost, having taken anew channel,had since its re-open ing become verry flourishing.— Three ships employed in this trade had lately left Sierra Leone, for Portendic. We are happy to state that the rainy season had set in at Sierra Leone, without any por tentous omen of unusual sickness. Slave Trade.— The Captain of the brig Alexander, lately arrived at Holmes Hole from Africa, states, that during the last vear not one vessel engaged in the Slave Trade appeared on the coast of Africa south of the Equator, while heretofore he has never seen less than 10 or 12 vessels engaged in that disgraceful trade. ill A c 6lt : WEDNESDAY, DEC. 10. A bill incorporating the town of M ACON lias passed both houses of the Legislature. We have not seen the net, but understand the ex tent embraced in it, is—the town plot on the West hunk of the Okmulgee, heretofore known as Macon, and the village on the East side, known as New town. In consequence of the above mentioned act of incorporation, we have altered the name of our place of location from “Fort Hawkius” to “Macon:” As the Fort Hawkins Post Office w ill he most convenient to us, correspondents mid printers are requested to direct their favors as usual, until further notice is given. It may not he altogether unnecessary, for the information of people at a distance, to give a sketch of the situation of Macon, Newtown, and Fort Hawkins, as we are aware that many who have not visited them, are misinformed with regard to it. The scite of Fort Hawkins is about half n mile from tbe Okmulgee, on a hill, and the buildings formerly attached to it are occupied by several families. Near them is the tavern of Messrs. Bullock fc Wells, at which the Post Office is kept. On a level, at the foot of the hill, and about two hundred yards from the ferry is the village of Newtown, but generally known us a part of Fort Hawkins. On the western bank is the tow n laid out in February last, extending one mile on the river and 3-4 of a mile buck. Here a Post Office has also been established. The two latter places now constitute the incorporated town of Macon. CONGRESS.. The first session of the eighteenth Congress, convened in Washington on the Ist hist. We shall probably obtain the President's Message in time for our next. FINANCES OF THE STATE. It was stated in our paper a week or two since on authority of the Milledgeville papers, and common report, that there was in the pub lic Treasury of this Stute, surplus funds to the amount of $425,775. —But it now appears by a note from the Treasurer, that instead of the State’s being burtlienal with lands, there is an actual balance against it of $45,297 45. We regret that we are unable to give the Treasur er’s communication this week—it shall appear in our next. This information we presume will spoil many goWen dreams ofapublic Loan Office. A New-York paper says, “ We hear, in a manner that induces us to believe, that infor mation actually reached this city some days since, aud lias probably been made known to our government, that almost the first act ot King Ferdinand, after his liberation, was to sign a treaty ceiling the island of Cuba to France.'’ In the Legislature of Tennessee, resolutions have been adopted against tbe nomination of President by a Congressional Caucus. The principles laid down are argued at considerable length, commencing as follows: The General Assembly of the state of Tennessee has taken into considera tion the practice which on former oc casions lias prevailed at the city of Washington, of members of the Con gress of the United States, meeting in Caucus, and nominating persons to be voted for as President and Vice- President of the U. S. and upon the best view of the subject, which this General Assembly has been enabled to take, it is believed that the practice of Congressional nominations is a vio lation of the spirit of the Constitution of the U. S. After going through with the subject, the ar. guments are thus summed up: Ist. A caucus nomination is against the spirit of the Constitution. 2d. It is both inexpedient anti impolitic. 3d. Members of CoHgress may become the final electors, and therefore ought not to prejudge the case by pledging them selves previously to support particular candidates.—4. It violates the equali ty intended to be secured by the Con stitution to the weaker states. 5. Cau cus nominations may in time (if the practice is not effectually prevented by the interference of the States) acquire the force of precedents, and become authoritative, and thereby endanger the liberties of the American people. This General Assembly, believing that the true spirit of the constitution will be best preserved bv leaving the election of president and Vice Presi dent to the people themselves, through the medium of electors chosen by them uninfluenced by any previous nomina tion made by members of Congress, have adopted thefollowingrasolutions: Ist. Resolved, That the Senators in Congress from this State be instruct ed, and our Representatives be re quested to use their exertions to pre vent a nomination being mailt, during the next session of Congress by the members thereof, in caucus of persons to fill the offices of President and Vice-President of the U. S. 2d. Resolved—That this General Assembly will, at its present session, divide the state into as many districts in convenient form, as this state is en titled to electoral votes, for the pur pose of choosing an elector in each, to vote for President and Vice-President of the U. S. 3d. Resolved—That the Governor of this state transmit a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions to the executive of each of the U. States, with a request that the same he laid before each of their respective Legis latures. 4th. Resolved—That the Governor transmit a copy to each of the Senators and Reprerentatives in Congress,from this State. Estate ILr&islatuve* IN SENATE. Tuesday, Dec. 2.

Statue of Washington. —A model in plaster of an Equestrian Statue ot Washington, is now exhibited at the City Theatre, W arren street executed by signor Causici, an Italian artist and pupil of|Canova, which is pronoun ced by good judges to be as fine a piece ol statuary as any to be seen in Eu rope. Signor C. was induced to de vote his attention to production of this specimen of the arts in conse quence of understanding that the cit i7.ens ol New-York were desirous of having a statute erected to the mem ory of their immortal chief. That which he has modelled is about 13 feet in height, and is remarkable for its* correct likeness of Washington, and the spirit displayed throughout the whole. The fiery steed on which the hero is mounted, bears as close a res emblance to life as any Equestrian Statue we ever beheld. We are in formed that the Corporation on Sat urday last visited the exhibition and were highly delighted with the spir it, taste and eftect which the artist had infused into the execution, and that they have since intimated to Signor Causici their intention to pat ronize his efforts, by calling on the public to furnish the means of rearing a marble or bronze statue, after the model he has constructed. The ex pense of the former will be about g 50,- 000 of the latter g 60,000. Pronze has decidedly the preference : it lasts for ages ; while the latter is extremely subject to decaf, especially by expos ure. A meeting was held at Colombia, S. 1. on the 22d ult. for the purpose of preparing a petition to Congress to reject the biil imposing protecting du ties for home manufactures. The Committee appointed by the meeting, for drafting this petition, were also directed to open a communication on the subject with the different sections of the state.

His object, more particularly, is to explore the interior, so as to be able to ascertain the face of the country, and the character of the soil ; and also to assist the com missioners infixing upon a proper, scite for the seat of the Territorial Government.
