Tuesday, Non. 2ft, \ft2ft. BY MYRON BARTLET. Yo\twn$ \ JVo. 5. •Si PROSPECTUS OF THE MACON TELfeGflAFH, A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER, PRINTED AT MAC ON, GA. THE local advantages of the town of Ma- L 0 n, as an emporium for Literature as well as Commerce,—situated as it is, almost in the fery centre of the State; at the head of Na vigation on a beautiful river; in the heart of r hew, fertile and healthy country,—were a- non" the inducements that led to the propos ed undertaking. The rapid strides this infant settlement has .nade, in the short space of four years; the Importance, in a commercial point of view, it lias already acquired; the attention, the in terest, it every where excites; the tide of business, of capital, of talent, so rapidly flow- in" there; already^direct the public miud to [lie high destiny which awaits it. Though there is already one neatly printed iaper in Macon, yet the peculiar situation of \hc times—the increasing business of the place -the intelligence, the public spirit of the com- aunity—the increasing population, wealth and importance of this section of the State,—call loudly for the assistance of another Press; vhich shall not only disseminate useful infor- nation, but advocate fearlessly, the rights OF THE PEOPLE ! With regard to the Political course intend ed to be pursued by the Editor, he presumes [ few remarks will suffice:—He pledges him- Eeif to no faction or cabal. Warmly devoted lo the cause the people, his constant en deavor will be to promote their interests—his (richest ambition lo merit their confidence.— Though lie does not deny a preference to the rinciples of one of the contending parties that agitate this State,—yet such measures, End such men, only, as to him may seem pest calculated to promote the public good, vill receive his support, without respect to the party which claims them, j The Editor sees with pain, the dilemma in Ivhich Georgia is placed, in regard toiler rela tions with the General Government, and the kwful crisis to which she is hastening. With out stopping to inquire, whether, in tho origin pf this dispute, she had justice on her side, he fcledges himself, to use his unwearied exertions Jo preserve the rights and dignity of the State, |nd to avert the evils that threaten to over whelm her. In supporting the rights of Geor- lia, he shall not feel himself bound to assail, with unmerited abuse, the Government of the Jnited States; or to ascribe to others, the e- lils which may have arisen from our own ini prudence. Wherever, in his opinion, censure pay be deserved, it shall not be withheld.— \sa Georgian, in feelings and interest, he vdl contend, strenuously, for every iota of her ights! As a descendant of the Martyrg^f the Involution, every attempt to weake« die Gov ernment of his Country, or sever the Union of these States, will meet with his utter abhor rence, and determined opposition.

BARTLET. 'FOREIGN/' uATE FROM ENGLAND. j Charleston, November 16 L. B >7 te ship Sarah & Caroline, Pritjce, ar- pivedmis forenoon, in thirty-one days n om Li- crp/ol, we have received our files of London pip/s to the 12th, Liverpool to tho 1-lth, and LW’d’s Lists to the 11th October. I * the London Stock Maiket underwent a de cision <>n the 12th October, in copswuence r dm falling oil’ of the last quarter’s tetenue. Lord Cochran was at Messina at ihq latest . A London paper says, “it was retorted on loniiay, but we do not vouch fol tho fact, Put the American minister [Mr. Galjitin] had Pceivcd despatches from his government, and pd proceeded to Paris, to confer ' ith Mr. fanning. 1 Tho French gen. Boyer has quit the t irvico of pacha of Egypt, in conscquenco if a con- |ant conflict of authority between hiu and tho •mister at war. ^ 1 The fever in Dublin still continue on the (crease. In September last, an offici J report lys 300 cases -existed—two thirds mjre than pd nver been known. I The continental meteorologists pr( lict that pc nppioaching winter will be as sevcip as that U812. A dreadful mortality continued to prevail i Groningen—the deaths during the wbek end* I? 5th ult. were 158; the week previous, 162. The number of sick was estimated at; nine or p thousand. . J I Sir Francis Burdett Was at Toupuse last fetes, [The health of the duke of York had so much proved, as to enable him to transact business ■ *jj s °wn house. I, , r ®de was improving at Manchester, Leeds, adtord, Wakefield, Macclesfield, Glasgow, etc. ■ T Liverpool, October 14. Ll hi - acco "nt of the quarter’s revenue, u I I bo seen from this, that in comparison with P corresponding quarter of last ycar^the fall- olf is above £800,000. I bis' is about the sum that it was expected T ,ev cnuc would be short. We have not PJb to make any remark, he presence of Canning, in Paris does not ** 10 * Javc given any now vivacity to poli tical speculation in the French capital, or to have had indeed any effect upon any depart ment of political business, except that it has a little increased the number of arrivals of cour iers and statu messengers in Paris, which the Parisian journals have had to announce. The intelligence from PortugqJ informs us of no fresh symptoms of insubordination to, or. discontent with, the present system. From Spain we learn nothing new, except an account of a trivial tumult at San Ildefouso. % The official notification of the concurrence of i-nho French government in tho changes that have been niade in Portugal has been given to the court of Madrid. Some changes jhave been projected, and are about being carricii-into effect, in regard to the organization of the Austrian army. As well as we comprehend them, these are to the end of placing tho army in such a condition that it may be more promptly called into action, in all its force, than it can now be. A new ministerial department has been or ganized in the court of St. Petersburg. Its duties seem to be those of a sort of courtly po lice. The grand duke Constantine has returned to Warsaw. We learn milling of the new war with Per sia. The London papers have published a state ment of the force of the Russian army, commu nicated to them by Dr. Lvall. It isj summed up in gross to tho number of 747,000 men.— But Dr. Lyall says, the effective force for prompt operations cannot be reckoned at more than 300,000 men. Under date of Naples, 23d ult. we arc in formed, on the authority of private letters, that lord Cochrane had been some time at Messina, under the name of Mr. Baring. The latitude of Sicily is conjectured to be that fixed on for the rendezvous of his force, if ever it is to be got afloat. “Tho differences and jealousies (it is said in that letter) arc so great among the Greek leaders, that no reliance can be placed on the hopo of their co-operation with lord Cochrane.’’ There has again been rather a dull week in business; the sales of cotton having only been 7500 bags; and of sugar 400 hogsheads, at somewhat lower prices for both articles. The following is (lie quantity of cotion im ported since our last: Alexandria (Egypt) 1(500 bales; Barbadoes, 453 bales; Bombay,‘710 Charleston, 799 bales and 2 half bales; New York, 780 bales; Philadelphia, 733 bales.— Total, 4975 bales and 2 half bales. The Commerce of Liverpool.—The annual finance accounts have just been published, by order of the House of Commons. By this do cument, it appears that tho whole export duties for Great Britain and Ireland, for the year end ing 5th January last, amounted to £125,072 19s 2d—thus showing an increase upon the a- mount of ihc preceding year. Of this sum, nearly #50,000, or the great proportion of two-fifths of the whole, was collected at Li verpool, whilst London contributed scarcely £30,000. London, October 3. A letter from Constantinople, dated the 7th ult. states the number of houses burnt during tlio late fire at 3,000, and that ,o( individuals who perished in the conflagration at 400, which was considered a miraculously small proportion. Most of tho educes consumed were of the nest order, and inhabited by tho higher classes.— They included many palaces and khans. The Austrian Observer of the 24th ultimo brought some interesting details of the tremen dous conflagration which has laid in rums the greater paid of the city of Constantinople.— The number of houses destroyed is raised to 6,000, forming nearly one eight of the whole capital. These nro not merely private resi dences, but public buildings, embracing the im mense magazines, known under the names of Khans, Bezetins, and Tschartschis, the hotels of almost all the ministers and great officers of the empirp, tho palace of tho grand visier, call ed tho Sublime Porte, that of the Armenian patriarch, with the patriarchal church, and ma ny other grand edifices. The loss of the gov ernment alone was estimated at more than six millions of piastres, and that of tho Turkisli and Armenian merchants at above fifty millions.— That the fire was not accidental, seems to-be proved by tho fact, that ilbroke out at once in very distant quarters where heither the direc tion nor the force of the wind could have carri ed it. Had not the most energetic and rapid measures been adopted by tho grand visier and the serasj<icr, it is probable that in tho midst of the tumu\t and confusion created by so dreadful an event' some serious attempts would have been raadl on tho lives of the sult?.n and his fa mily. TI prevent this, above eighty thousand troops am four brigades of field nrtillery were immediate y drawn up in order of battle in the interior c tho seraglio, and tho adjoining streets wc o occupied by soldiers, so that no body of r iters or conspirators ventured to show then elves. Meanwhile all the gates of the sultan’] pulaco wero thrown opon to re ceive die uilortunato families whoso houses and goods wereliurning, and thousands of women and childrci filled the places belonging to the government and standing beyond tho reach of tho flame. To the sufferers amplo pecuni ary relief hi) been afforded; a part of tho ma gazines was o be rebuilt at the expense of the government and tho new barracks for the troops were o lie discontinued, until tho edi fices indispc sablo to trade should ho restored. As die peon i ascribed this calamity to the w* vengeful spi; t of the Janissaries, they are bc- como real ol ects of universal oxecration. , Wc leart from London, that, on Tuesday last, the chat tellor of the exchequer made ra ther an impo :ant communication, in reply to aa npplicatio to take off the duty on printed goods. He said that ministers have resolved* in the next session of parliament, to introduce some measures for the .relief of the manufactur ing interest, but that to prevent any imoroper use being made of it, diey withheld all state ment of their views for the presont. It seems Sot improbable, however, that the duty on printed goods will be taken off, as it amounts to £1,500,000 annually, of which not much more than £400,000 reach the treasury, so cnot mously expensive is the the collection.—Ed inburgh Obscrrer. Michael Kelly.—We announced yesterday, the death of this amiable man, after a long and painful illness, which had deprived him of the use of his limbs for many years. London, October 4. We understand that the editor of the Glas- .trow Free Press.had an interview, yesterday, ^vith the chancellor of the exchequer, for the purpose of inquiring whether any, and what measures, were intended to bcftaHCri by gov ernment, to relieve the distresses of the manu facturing operatives of the west of Scotland.— Mr. Robinson, in the course of his remarks, paid a high compliment to the 'excellent con duct of the manufacturing population of Scot land, in the most of their privations; of which, he said, government was deeply sensible. Cer tain measures were in Contemplation for their relief: but it would bo improper and premature to meniion what those measures were, as in terested speculators might Lake advantage of their publicity. He allowed, that the average nett amount of the duty on printed goods was not more than £500,000; while the amount collected was upwards of £l,200,000. But he declined, for the reesms already mentioned, to state what were his intentions regarding this tax. The tenor, however, of his observations, was decidedly encouraging the manufactur ing interests. London, October 6. ' M. le compte d’Horeouit writes as follows, on the 27th July: “I arrived at Hvdra o» the 23d. The fleet set sail 'o tho‘ number of tven- ly-five brigs of war, besides smaller vcssclspun- dcr Sachturis, far Samos. Great energy and activity ore observable at .Hydra. A second division, nearly equal, remains under Miauls, intended for the attack of‘he Turkisli and I> gyptian fleets offCnron. The sailors being a. 1’raid of leaving dio/r wives and children bei hind fhein without protection, the chiefs re quested me to funvsli the pay of 1,800 .bravo fellows who iwrnpud from Mi'iSoWigVl’. I ac cordingly supplied thirty thousand francs, and have taken every means to prevent it from be ing turned from its proper destination. Yes terday I saw Nikitas; his flags, previous to his departure for the Morca, with 800 men, were blessed. Ho is an honest and disinterested man, who has the confidence of his troops. , In three days Kuriaskaki will set out with 2,000 men to assist Attica, and .vill bo. ircftiitod on the way with the like number; Mon aro want ing here loss than money. Rescind Pacha is at Lividin. He had led 40,000 men before Mis- solonghi, and scarcely seven thousand remains. He guards Romclia from Missolonghi to Ath ens. Fabvier is in Methnnu, opposite Etbin. He has provided for tho defence of the istbmus. A large steam vessel is expected in it, com manded by captain Rosting: it carries eight 46 pounders. Polamis is supplied .for two years; Corinth, Albeits, and Malvoista for a year. M. Bailley is very zealous, and renders groat ser vices to the Greeks.” Here follows an extract from a letter from all the administrative com missions of Greece to count d’Harcourt. In it they expressed the liveliest gratitude for tlio im portant and innumerable services which they had received from all the nations of Europe, and particularly from' France, t'rough tho means of she count. Whatever might be tho efforts of dieir enemies, they doubted not, by 'their assistance, shat Greece would triumph o- ver them all. . In a letter to M. Eynard, after thanking him for h.s zeal and activity, they an nounce the arrival of several caraocs of provi sions from France, Ger any and Switzerland. It adds that sieam vessels are inilispensible to continue the war, and prevent the supply of Ib rahim’s army, and which would end by exhaust% ing Greece. The Greek commit'ee, by the last Courier, has received nows from England, which give some hopes that the steqra vessel constructed at London may depart at tho be ginning of the next monili. , Extract of a private letter, from Algiers, dat ed September 9t “By the tinio you receive this, you will have heard of the depredations committed by the Algerind cruisers on the flags of powers tn amity with the regency. The fitst was upon a largo Dutch ship, laden with logwood, for English and American account, front Cumpeadiy, bound to Marseilles, and de tained for want of .a Mediterranean pass. No sooner had this vessel been released, through the united efforts of the Dutch, American and British consuls, than in comes an Ionian ship bound from Zatt'e to Leghorn, with a cargo of Valencia wool, etc. detained on the same cause, thus taking the bull by tho horns at once. Our active nnd excellent proconsul (R. M. Thomas) lost not a moment in making tho strongest re monstrances to tjio government, which, I am happy to acquaint you, wore productive of the desired effect, the dey having not only, ordered restoration of tho ship and Cargo, but indemni ty for tho demurrage, etc. terms to which his cars had never before been accustomed. In deed, tlio conduct of Mr. Thomas on this as on ovety, other occasion, wherein the honor of tfie English flag has been concerned, merits .the highest encomium, and will, no doubt, bo duly appreciated by their government at home.— Two Russian prizes have lately come in: one a very rich one, laden at Genoa for Civita Vccchi.n, supposed to he on Genocso account. It has, however, been sold, notwithstanding the remonstrances of tho Sardinian consul. We have heard from Tripoli, that a strong report- nay, almost an authentic one—had arrived there of poor major Laring, and all his party, hiiviii? been murdered by one of tho tribes in tlio de sert called Twarnies. Wliar a melancholy ca- trastrophe, if true! He married the consul’s (colonel Warrington’s) daughter, the day be fore he se't off on his expedition.” London, Octi^jer 7. Under the head of Vienna, September 25, we find the same news relative to tho capture ot Athens, and the route of the Greek troops in the neighborhood of that city, which we published several days ago. The result of this lamentable defeat is, that, with the exception of the Acropolis of Athens, the Ottomansttrenow masters of Eastern and Western Greece.— The inhabitants of the Motca and the islands alono continue the struggle. - ' • London, October 9. We have received the French papers of Friday', and the Etiole. dated Saturday: the fol lowing arc extracts: From the Etiole.—The Monitcur has pub lished the Treaty of Amity, Navigation, and Commerce, concluded and signed at Rio de Janeiro on the 8th of January, 1826, between the King and his Majesty tho Emperor of Brazil. We have received this morning, tho St. Pe tersburg Journal to tho 24lh of September.— The differences between Russia and Persia are not alluded to. The Emperor Nicholas has ordered the formation of a new Ministerial De partment ; it is to be called “the Ministry of the Imperial Court.” Princo Wolkonsky is appointed the head of tho new department.— lie is to receive orders from the Emperor alone, and to him only is he to render an account of his administration. Manchester—Wc are happy to say, that the general interests of trade hero continue ‘ in that progressive course of improvomcn?which we have adverted to for several weeks. Ad ditional factories have commenced working, and a number of power loomsare again put in motion which had for some time been disused. Of course, many more hands will, from these circumstances, be called to active employment; and thodgli in conscquenco of [Trices not hav ing yet risen adequately with the increasing de mand for manufactures, wages must, for h time, be unfairly low; yet wo trust that this evil, the effects of wlticlt are not confined to the indus trious workman, but are injurious in their bear ings upon all classes, from tho extent of claims which they cause upon benevolence, will, ero long, be diminished.—Manchester Chronicle. Glasgow.—The trado continues very steady ! hero. No advance has, as yet, taken place in wool. Sellers are holding in expectation of a rise. Some of the spinners aro shy, and are asking an advance on yarns. Manufactured and primed goods remain steady, and the hold- ors are not disposed to push sales at the present prices. We hear that a great many Bands have been taken on, and webs freely given out, but no advance in prices.—Glasgow Free Press. JLondon, October 12. It is out of our poworto make our postscript as complete this week, as we commonly en deavor to do, being by chance much pressed fpi; room in our paper. There is an article from Frankfort, publish ed in the London papers, in whiclt it is affirm ed that the Sultan, feeling in the present crisis of his empire the imperative necessity of peace, has sfent instructions to Akertpann, to withhold no longer the concessions necessary to effect an amicable arrangement of the relations between the Russian and itis own empire. Paris, October 7. “Several Journals announce the breaking off of the conferences at Akcrmann, and add that the army of Bessarabia, is concentrating; that it daily receives reinforcement, and that the Austrian army is about to be cousidcrably aug mented. “All those Papers have chosen their time badly, for endeavoring to disturb men’s minds respecting the negociations relative to the af fairs of the East. It is on this very day, the 7th October, that the time fixed hy Russiafor a definitive answer from the Divttn expires. It can then be of trifling importance, that the con ferences-at Akcrmann are suspended for want of sufficient instructions to the Turkish Com missioners from their government since a de finitive answer must bo given to the Russian Minister, at Constantinople,'on the only points which have raised any difficulty at Akcrmann. With respect to the army of Bessarabia all the world knows that it lias been concentrated for a considerable time. This pretended nows shews that the Journals which give it know nothing of what they talk about, and what they say, respect ing the augmentation^af the Austrian army, is a new proof of it. FROM AFRICA. The following letter, relating to tho Ameri can Colony of Free Blqcks,is copied from the Natioual Intelligencer. "Monrovia, August 3d, 1826.—On the 28th July, the packet brig John, Captain Clough, from Portland, and the “Bona,” a schooner from Baltimore, then laying in our Roads, were boarded from a piratical brig mounting 12 guns, and manned chiefly by Spaniards, and plundered to the amount—tho brig of 02,500 -—the schooner $2,862. Tho brig is discov ered to be a slaver—-and is a sample of nearly all tlio slavers at present to be found on the coast. Wobavo intelligence that not loss than eight of iheso vessels have combined thoir force for 28th July, was manned from this depot, for tho expedition. Tho/English cruisers capture sla vers, oil the presumption of their piratical char acter, with very little discrimination, and sel r doin fail to procure their speedy condemnation^ But what is to bp our situation, if the establish ment of tlio marauders at Trade Town is suf fered to take place and become permanent."- “Tho purchase of Factory Island was de finitely concluded early in July.” “TJte boats sent out by the Government pro mise to be of incstimablo utililty to the colony. Our establishment at the Gesters, although within fivo miles of Trado Town, is still sus tained. Cultivation, building and trade are carrying on there on a small scale; but for want of rainy scaso&Qfaft, little has been done to advance it since the month of May, Bam Factory is the source of vatuablo supplies to the colony. Wo keep up, at this inclement soason, an intercourse with this place along tho Beach, ttui the transportation of goods or pro** duce by this route is expensive and laborious) and there is a considerable amount of proper ty remaining there which we leave to tlio dry season. “I cannot well express to the Board die gen eral gratification felt hero in the establishment, at length, of a lino of packets between the U. States and this colony, in which it is bcltovod dependencies can be safely placed. Tho en tire cargo of the brig John, tho first of the line, which arrived July 22d, from Portland the 9th of April, was,instantly purchased, and another vessel is expoefed early in October.” “The great'work at tho moment in hand, and in which ivc have called upon all tlio colo nists to assist, is the construction of a Battery at Thomp.iontown, on a shelf 80 feet above tho water to overlook ‘and command our roads.— Wc arc transporting tho heaviest of our guns there, nnd erecting a roofed breastwork of turf ed mason work, which is intended to be shot proofl* Our bes.t-gunners say, that, from tho position chosen, the loug guns will hull a vessel lying at the customary anchorage, ‘oftonor than evory second shot; and from repeated trials, I 'do not doubt it.” AFFAIRS IN IIAYTI. A correspondent at Cape Haytien, under datcof October6th writes to us in.these tefmsr Paltry as tlio debt duo tg Franco is,or would be to any other government, these gentry aro reduced to the most miserable straits to meet the annual instalments of tho current year, and pay the troops. The only alternative, as the bank plan has failed, is to have recourse to the desperate expedient of issuing paper after hav ing called, I hear, on every merchant in Port au Prince, to whom a vessel was consigned, , requesting him to anticipate his duties, in order to alleviate tho distresses ofgovernment. The President has issued his proclamation, making it a legal tender in all transactions; and singu- l.ir enough, in a matter of so much importance, he has forgotten not only the usual form enjoin ed by the constitution, of having it counter signed by tho Secretary General, but lias made use of the regal appellation WE. I can ac count for it in no other way than fry giving ere* donee to a report circulated a short time since, that tho Senate, which are now setting, are a- bout not only investing themselves with that dignity for life, but also the President with 1 re gal powers. This report issomowhat strength ened by another, that this body (the Senate,) had advanced the pay of the First Magistrate to $100,000 per annum, in order that he might bettor support his dignity, or else like “my un do Thomas,” he chooses to exercise the pow ers of grand regulator, with privilege to regu lates nnd mfs-rcgulate^ at his pleasure, a Prag matic power ho has long exorcised. / “Thero aro strong symptoms of ti revolution ary spirit in this part of tlio island, and should the paper system he attempted to be introdu ced here, not, even tlio deserved popularity of General Macny will be able to buy all the cof- Tee that may arrive at market between this and the end of the year, the time when the inst il- ihcnt becomes due to Franee, it would .not pay half tlio amount, and they arc without any oth er resource. “Yesterday mprning. wo had reports in a creditable shape, of an actual insurrection in the north.”—Halt.
