NEW-VORKr SEPT, Is
ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE.
By (ho ship Hubert Wikon, C.ipt. Arnold,
\vhich arrived last evening from Liverpool,
vo have received London papers to the 14th
nit. and Liverpool to the Id h, inclusive.
The following items eonia.a all the additional
information of interest:
Under the head of Constantinople, July 10,
h appears from various circumstances that the
Divan is already informed that the Courts of
London, Paris and Petersburg!:, will shortly
take measures to enforce their intervention.
Under the head of Vienna, August 2, it is
stated that the surrender of Acropolis has
greuily discouraged tho Greeks. The con
fusion is greater than ever. Tho new Greek
government is daily expected at Napoli, whore
anarchy is at its height. But few villages on
the Peloponnesus have submitted to Ibraham.
The Egyptian fleet of sixty-eight sail, was
to sail from Alexandria abont the 10th of July,
for the More,t. In the mean time, tho com
munication was kept up by tho means of swift
silling ships of war.
Extract of a letter from Munich, Aug. 2d
—The report that lias been circulated here
for this momh past, of a meeting of the Mi
nisters of the Great Powers, in this Capital,
to form a Congress is not confirmed, but yot
wo have reason to believe that such a project
was in agitation at Vienna, but certain poli
tical events having taken place, prevented the
above meeting. Thoie is n great talk of an
interview hetweon the Emperor of Austria,
King of Prussia, end the Emperor Nicholas,
at Warsaw, at the period when Uo is to be
crowned King of Poland.
London, August 13.
Ministerial Arrangements.—The first step
taken by his Majesty, after the death of Mr.
Canning, may be regarded as eminent for
its kindness to tho memory of the deceased.
We tjludc to his sending for Lord Goderich
and Mr. Sturgcs Bourne, with a view to the
Ministry; the former of them, that colleague
whom Mr. Canning had placed next to him
self, as leader in the House of Lords; the lat
ter, the oldest personal frieud of Mr. Canning
In the Cabinet.-— Courier.
Tho imperial Russian fleet from Cronstadt,
bound to the Mediterranean, consisting of 8
ships of the line, 7 frigates, and a corvette, un
der bis excellency Admiral Siniavin, passed
tho back of the Goodwin Sands on the 7th of
August.
Accounts from Bucharest, in the French
papers, state the situation of Greece to bo very
deplorable, and that confidence in Lord Coch-
nno was much shaken; differences between
Sleschid Pacha and Ibrahim Pacha were also
said to exist.
Undordate of the Frontiers of Poland, July
72, it is said a report prevailed that the Per
sian army, under the command of Prince Ab
bas Mirsa, had been defeated in the neighbor
hood ofErivan.
LONDON, AUG. 14.—Spirit of the
public Journals.-—We havo nothing to add to
the statement which was first presented, that
Lord Goderich was first Lord of the Treasu
ry. The marquis of Lansdown acquiesces
readily and cordially in the appointment, and
of those who remained out of offko before,
but gave their independent support to Mr.
Canning's administration. Some will no duubl
be elected to fill the vaennt situations. A
heavy domestic affliction induces Lord Har
rowby to retire from the presidency of the
council. We know not what use it is endea
vored to make of this fact. Had the retire
ment taken place at tho beginning of Mr.
Canning's premiership it might have been
rpanifusted into a disapprobation of that gen
tleman's principles or advancement, at pre
sent it can be liable to no such construction,
lit* Lordship accords pci fcetly in tho promo
tion (if wo may uso that word) of Lord Godo
rich. Mr. Peel is said to have left town
for Mansfield on Saturday, tho day after we
nunoimced that Lord Goderich had been "sent
for” to Windsor. But a cotemporary Journal
mentions .a ridiculous circumstance with re
spect to a certain noble Lord, which is, that
on hoaring of Mr. Canning's death bo had
posted up to London, in tho hopes, perhaps
of filling tho vacant place. “This is too baa!’
Lord Liverpool would say, if ho could speak
Lord Cochrane.—Tho Gazette do France
contains the following account of Lord Coch
rane’s naval operations beforo Alexandria:
Alexandria, June 19.
In the afternoon of the 16th, Admiral Coch
tone, with twcuty-thrce vessels, appeared be
foro Alexandria, A Turkish brig which was
cruizing before the port attempted to euterpro
cipitately, but ran aground. A fire-ship whi
was seqt -against it having failed, it was soon
burnt by a second fiie-ship. On the morning of
- tliu 27th the Pachaput to sea with thirteen ships,
determined to bring on a decisive action, but
the Greeks wore out of sight Tho Pact^
who did not go more than a league or two re
turned into port, and soon after the Greeks a-
g dn appeared at some distance. Several of
theP sena's frigates and corvettes, which could
not get out on the 17th, had got ready to sail
on the 18ih in the morning. Twenty-three
(hips left the port to approach the Greek
squadron, which has disappeared. The Pa
cha hat returned; his fleet has orders to pur
sue the enemy as far Rhode.
Vienna, July 28.
Letters from Constantinople annocnce, that
intelligence of the defection of the Pacha of E-
K t has reached the Porte. A Tartar hat
n sent to Rescind Pacha, with despatches,
directing the Seraskier to observe any move
ments which Ibrabim Pacha might make, in
consequence of orders which ho may’have re
ceived from his father, the Viceroy of Egypt.
They expect at Constantinople the publication
of a Firman, which in declaring Mehemet Pa
cha a rebel to the Porte, will set a price upon
his head, and command the Pachas in his neigl
borhood to mako war.
Colbett.—Cobbett, we understand, has
actually a chance, after all, of getting into
Parliament.—Folkstone, will, in all probabili
ty, from the advanced age of his father, Lord
Radnor, bo called ero long to the House of
Peers, and in that case we have heard it is his
Lordship’s intention to seat his friend Cob-
bet for tho respectable borough of New Sa-
rum, which is his. Lord Folkstone, we believe
has. not opened his mouth in Parliament since
the change of the ministry, nor is the course
which ho will tako at present known,—Brigh.

IMPOHTANT FROM SO.UTII AMERICA.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman of the
first respectability and intelligence, received
at our News Room, per schr. Monroe, dated
“Laocira, 22<1 Ado. 1827.—This depart
ment since the depar ture of Bolivar, on the
6th of last month, for Bogota, via Carthegena,
has remained entirely quiet; yet eierv dispo
sition is evinced of hostility, by words only,
against the Liberator and his decrees, while
exercising the extraordinary powers assumed
under the constitution in calming the distur
bance* of Venezuela.
“We have news up to the 10th July from
Bogota, which states that tho extraordinary
powers of Bolivar have been revoked and e-
very disposition to resist the Bolivian party,
if hostile to the Constitution.—Bolivar from
tho last accounts, was at Carthegena with
6,090 troops, and Urdanita from Maracaibo at
Cucuta, with 2,000 more. I cannot believe
there is a disposition to create an internal war,
yet by many it is believed that Bolivar’s views
have been to subvert the Constitution and es
tablish a Government of more consolidated
powers. This department appears to be de
cidedly for a confederacy of states upon the
principle of the United States.
“Congress have fixed the calling of a gene
ral Convention for March next, to endeavour,
if an open rupture should not previously take
place, to settle all the differences of the coun
try, Report lays that the Liberator is much
displeased at the Congress, and was deter
mined to march against it, in consequence of
their order to tho citizens of Columbia not to
obey any other authority than the orders and
laws of Congress. A proclamation to this ef
fect has been made in Maracaibo. I cannot
believe that Bolivar, with hostile intentions,
will oppose the Congress. Various reports
forsomo months have been in circulation of
the supposed or intended interference of
Great Britain in the political affairs of this
country. I must confess, suspicions are pret
ty strong, yet if it is so it is confined to diplo
matic circles. Many circumstances would in
duce a belief that she wished a controlling in
fluence on the Main, and the position of her
Island settlements and tho immense fortifica-
cations now building upon the Island of Cura-
con, supposed to be done by Britsh funds and
under British orders, squints a little towards
one or other saying to tho inhabitants of the
Main, you must only, by my permission, cul
tivate tho earth, or spread your canvass upon
these seas.”

Monday, October 1821.
• Our Country—•tor sriult Country.'
THIS DAY, being the first Monday in
October, is the day fixed by the Constitution
for the Electiou, throughout tho State, of Go
vernor, Members of the Legislature, and a Rep
resentative to fill the vacancy in the next Con
gress occasioned by the resignation of Hon. E.

to give it to the people. Having succeeded
in this, they nre willing that the people should
decide the contest. In this wo disagree with
our friend of the Statesman & Patriot. We
may lose our Governor—We have lost the
best man in Georgia—Let the people decide
and submit to the decrees of Providence.—
Truth will eventually prevail. If it be the
will of the people, (since death has deprived
them of their choice,) to throw the contest into
the Legislature, be it so.

Well may Georgia be clothed in the habili

Tho earth was scarcely dry on tho grave of
Dooly—the knell which sounded the melan
choly departure of the venerated Patriot of
Wilkes was still ringing in our ears, whon we
are again called on to behold, with sensations
of the deepest sorrow, the extinction of another
of the brightest luminaries of our juridical and
political constellation 1 The Hon. FREEMAN
WALKER is no more!!! Virtue, Honor,
Famo and Science, bring your ensigns, end
plant them on the grave of your votary ! The
hearts of an afflicted family arc left desolate—
the bosom erf friendship feels a void which time
cannot fill—and Georgia mourns the loss of
her brightest and noblest ornament 1 The de<
cease of such a man as Freeman Walker calls
forth the deepest pang of public and private
grief; and at such a moment his loss is not to
bo estimated. We shall notice his character
more at largo hereafter; and cannot restrain
our anxious desire, that the citizens of this soc
lion of Georgia will notice, in a becoming
ner, the exit of such man as Dooly,
and Walker 1
do.
TALBOT TICKET.
The Mexicans and Indians,—We learn
from a source to be relied on, that Cols. Rob
bins and Burkham, Officers in the Mexican ser
vice on the south aide of Red river, opposite
Miller county, have recently dopartod from
that quarter, for the west, with a body of about
50 armed men, on a plundering expedition a-
;gainst tho Camancho and Pawnee Indians. It
s understood that they have carried witli them
large surplus of arms and munitions of war,
from which it is presumed they expect to be
joined by other recruits, in tho courso of their
march—but whether by Indians or not is un
certain.
Tho leaders of this party were lately citizens
of Miller county, in this Territory, and it is
probable that their follower* are principally
composed of persons who havo likewise emi
grated from the United States, and who have
sut recently changod their allegiance. From
tho intercourse which has heretofore existed
between tho citizens of Miller county and their
Indian neighbors, tho former have generally
became known to the 1 itter—but whether they
were or not, any ono acquainted with the In
dian character must know, that any hostile act
committed by a party of whites speaking our
language, would bo retaliated by the Indians
on the first party or settlement of whites they
might meet with, without regard to the couu
try in which they Kved or owed their allegiance.
Thus it is to bo presumed, that the hostile acts
of the party above alluded to, against the Indians
will induce the latter to make inroads on eur
frontier settlements, and take vengeance on
our citizens for the dopredatiuns committed on
them by our Mexican neighbor*. This they
will naturally do, from the circumstance of the
hostile party having collected m a section of
country heretofore attached to Miller county,
end over which our courts havo hitherto exer
cised jurisdiction. It is probable, we under
stand, that it will fall within the territory of
Mexico, whenever the boundary line between
that country and the United States shall be run
nnd distinctly defined by Commissioners ap'
pointed by tho two governments. But, until
that line shall be established, and a sufficient
Mexican force permanently located there to
preserve order and tegularity among the inha
bitants, we think that the peace and safety of
our citizens imperiously require that our gov
ornmont should hold possession of, and excr>
cise civil and military jurisdiction over, the
country on the south side of Red river, and im
mediately contiguous to this Territory.
The Governor of this Torritory, we under
stand, has sometime since written to the Secre
tary of War on this subject, and it is to bo
hoped that he will be authorized, and the Com
mandant* of our Military Posts on Red river,
&C. instructed, to take such ateps, as shall
seem to them proper, to suppress such excur
sions against the Indians in future, unless our
Mexican neighbor* can find some more justiffa,
ble cause for hostilities than we believe they
possess on the present occasion.—Little Rock
(Arkansas) Gazette.
Mr. HOUSTON has been elected Go
vernor of Teoeesea by a Urge majority.
We understand several non subscribers of
the Telegraph grumbled loudly last week,
that our paper was not issued so early as u-
sual! And even the Messenger gets angry, be-
causo, in putting our sheet to press, wo did not
consult its convenience instead of our own 1
However, that our neighbors and their corres
pondents may no more complain of us, we
have endeavored this week to issue the Tele
graph sooner than usual; for we really feel
for them. Lika a brainless Reviewer, they
aro compelled to wait for something to go up
on, before they can say a word. They remind
us of a little fellow in a country school, who
had acquired great reputation as a grammarian,
for being always very pert in givitig the exam
ple, after the master had repeated the rule to
him:
Master. What Is a verb?
Roy. A verb—a verb—
Master. A verb Is a word whlcb signifies to be, to
». ortosafler.
Boy. Oh yes, sir—as, Ian, I sleep, l sit!
We would therefore suggest to them anoth
er very excellent “Rule for Editors'’ to wit:
Whenever you live in a place where anoth
er paper is printed, always so arrange your day
of publication, that you may have your neigh
bor's ideas to help you out. It saves much
hard thinking to dull pates, and is a most ex
cellent substitute for a deficiency of brains I
Another very good rule is, that when you
wish to asperse the character of a good and
great man, you have only to apologise by say
ing, “that the use of his name is in connection
with party purposes,"—and this will sanctify
the slander, though in the next column you may
praise him to the skies.
Another very good rule is, to let your parti-
zans know, by showing tho cloven foot, that in
irder to succeed yon and they must lie through
thick and tkin. And if you should slander the
character of a venerable patriot, like Captain
Talbot, whose “ death would at any time havo
been lamented by liberal and enlightened men
of all parties as a public loss,” it is vory easy
in conformity with the foregoing rule, to call
him “ one of the most amiable, upright, and
honorable of men.”
This is the only way to support a rotten
cause.
