If 4 fWarott ■Baa—I — FOREIGN. 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. (Has, — Norfolk, September 13. 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.” MACON. 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. F. Tattall. The following gentlemen are can didates: For Governor, EDWARD F. TATTNALL, JOHN FORSYTH. For Representative in Congress, THOMAS U. P. CHARLTON, GEORGE R. GILMER. And to represent Bibb county in the Georgia Legislature: For the Senate, ROBERT COLEMAN, AMBROSE BABER, For the Lower House, RICE DURRETT, HENRY G. LAMAR. 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. a favorite theme of our late most l and lamented Freeman Walker; of Clark is the cause of the peopled •* l< genuine, friejid of the people's rightsS' qv; sentiments I have heard him repeat w' i, light and emphasis. And his pure S ouU ' hove disguise. He venerated the cause If'? people and always gloried in protecting i. “ . But ask youreives on the other hand I Georgia ever presented such a scene oft,,’ 71 Well may Georgia be clothed in the habili ments of wo ! 1 “ How aro tho mighty fallen!” 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. * Don't give up tho Ship."

Sweet cake is now plenti- or than corn bread: In consequence of which, it is said, several hungry Troupers, returning lately from a Talbot barbecue, where their consciences .would not permit them to taste of the abominated fare prepared for tho friends of Talbot and Charlton, so surfeited them- selves with this delicious manna, as to bring on cholera morbus, gastrodynia and pseudo- blepsis; from which it ia feared they will not sufficiently recover ’to bo able to attend the polls. As It is expected this regenerating pastry, this radical ambrosia, will be dog cheap during the present canvass, we would hero give a word of caution to the unwary—not to tho Talbot or Tattnall men, who have attended barbecues and feasted on the fat things of foe earth—but to foe conscience bound fasting Trouper, whose jejune bowels have yearned for buttaited none of these good things, Rest he overload tho gastric organ, in honor of Forsyth and Forsyth men, and cause sickness and perhaps death thereby.

Fellow Citizens !— 1 Tho first Monday in October, while it awakens your proudest rec ollections, should arouse you to the most sol emn and serious reflection on your rights and privileges.. This day you are called to exer cise those rights and privileges obtained by the hardy toils and the sacred blood of your fath ers. The right to select your own rulers and lawgivers, was that right for which Washing ton fought and your fathera died. Look to cause and effect, and say whence arise your misfortunes, and what is the source of your prosperity ! Ask yourselves then this question. It is not tho wish of foe friends of the peo ple to throw foe election of Governor into the Legislature. T bey have bees toiling for yean Georgia, till the four last years, pros perousand happy!

And why did men er. their administration produce such happy results! Because they respected the constitution and laws of your country, and foe sacred princi ples upon which they were founded. Because th»y looked to the good of the state, and not to their own interest—because they loved the Union, and exerted themselves to protect it— because they wore the advocates pf* tho peo ple s rights.
