FROM CONSTANTINOPLE.
From the Gazette tie France, A’or. 29.'
Tho Augsburgli Gazette, contains the follow
ing news, ditted Constantinople, Nov. 7.
“The Porte lias taken a very strong resolu
tion, nud has therefore put a stop to till the un
certainties that Imd agitated that capital for a
week,.pas'. Tite catastrophe at Navarin was
known'iu the Seraglio on the 29th, and so ex
asperated tite Sultan that nobody dared to go
near hint tor 12 hours. Tite Reis Effendi at
length on the 3d, sent for the Drogomuns of
the three powers, anil appeared in a state of
consternation which is not to ho described.—
Without speaking to them of the conseqcijces
ol tho afftir, he asked them the reason of-such
a breach of faith, and dismissed them, after giv
ing an evasive answer, with forced composure,
adding this remarkable dcclarat ion,—that the
Porto deeply regretted having listened for n
moment to the insinuations nud the.promises of
the three Ambassadors,—that theii presence at
Constantinople was indifferent to the Porte,—
that no advice would be given them cither to go
or stay,—they were at liberty to determinv
what they should do; lastly, that tho Sultan
had resolved to break off all intercourse with
them.
“Titus the Franks passed in the greatest^a-
larm the two days, durihg which the Mussu!
mans seemed to expect witlrimpatiencc tho re

The Committeo on Indian Affairs, to whom

instructing (hem “to inquire it any of the In

of any of the States, iiave organized an inde
pendent Government, with a view to a per

if they find that any attempt of the kind has
been made, to inquire into the expediency of
reporting to this House such measures ns they
may deem necessary to arrest such permanent
location, report:
That they have satisfactorily ascertained
that the Cherokee Indians have organized an
independent system of Government, with a
view (o' u permanent location in the States,
wherein they now reside. The Committeo
have seen tlioir Constitution in a printed form;
and, if that instrument is to bo relied on as
embracing tite views of the Cherokeo Indians,
no doubt can be entertained of their determi
nation to locale permanently in their present
abode. They declare, amongst other tilings,
that their present boundaries shall forever re

M ENKS IN WASHINGTON.
Extract.
Washington, January 2.
Yesterday "we'had a nitld sunny day. From
12 till the hour of 3, the I’rosidcm’.s Hoi* e was
crowded with friends Mid lot" 1 , high and low,
die polished and (ho vulgar. On New Year’s
Day it Is custo ntry for tlio I’rojdent to re
ceive all sorts of company. They walk up—
present themselves—if with ladies, also to Mrs.
Adams—stalk about through the numerous a-
partihents—try to catch the refreshments which
are scudding round on tho heads of the servants
and then go home ami tell what they heard, saw
and did. Mr. Adams was punished for more
than a couple of hours. Hu stood in the cen
tre of the cetitre room, and most pathetically
shook hands the whole'tinie. In the ladies’
corner it was till chat, flutter and graceful conges,
In the hall, which is quite roomy, a band was
planted, to keep the nerves of the company in
a proper degree of agitation. The corps di
plomatique appeared, pitch in their own nation
al costume. All the fashionables of course,
now resident in tlte city filled up the company.
Many sober citizens from die neighboring coun
try, showed themselves off in their native home
spun. They looked upon the gay creatures
before them, arrayed in all the brilliancy of co
lor, as so many visions of romance. To wan
der through the rooms was no easy matter. It
required nerve and perseverance. A crowd
rolls and heaves like the ocean. At one mo
ment a pair of epaulettes and a sword was pre
cipitated against a huge cottago bonnet, beneath
which some pretty face was almost hid. Then
group would press against group, so that for
several seconds it was a perfect stand still.—
Every one was perfectly nt easo as to manners.
Thu excruciating torture of two httndrod and
fifty pounds avordupois, upon an intermittent
corn, was received with a most woful smile,
and a “ No harm I thank you Sir.” The text
of holy writ was somewhat amended, without
either debate or a call for the yeas anti nays.—
It was not “eat, drink and bo merry;’’ but “eat
and drink” who over can catch it, and that was
no easy matter. Don't you think that both
sexes return to a state of nature in large parties?
They are absolutely ferocious. Their polite
ness on such an occasion is precisely of tho
same quality which Mephislopholos sports so
gentlemanly in the company of Faostns. There
has been a slight brush about tho Tariff. You
have seen the debate, and the imputations, nnd
insiuuatiuns cast upon the Jackson party. The
Adams men think the wot Id is wise enough—
that knowledgo covers tho earth as the watois

From the Carolina Observer.
By an arrangement with the widow and Itoirs
of tho late treasurer, which received the sanc
tion of the legislature, ail the bank stock own
ed by hint at his death, is to he received by the
state, at par, in payment of his deficiency. Also,
the negroes, (108 in number,) and all his real
estate which, agreeably to his will, can be con
veyed, are to be made over to the governor, for
the Use of the state, and sold on a credit of one,
two and three years, under the direction of tho
Treasurer, Attorney General, and Col. Joseph
Pickett. A suit is also to be instituted, to as
certain, judicially, the amount of the defalca
tion.
There is so much of mystery about tills <1e-
filcution, and the treasurer stood before the
world with so perfectly fair a character, that we,
in common with the whole people of the state,
have hoped that there was some mistake, which
would be discovered, and that it 'WOuld'fiiiully
appear that the treasurer was no defaulter.—
\Ve grieve to say, that no fact has been disclos
ed to place the matter in such a favorable light.
There is one circumstance, and we have no
pleasure in stating'"t, which proves conclusively,
we think, that the deficiency is of mote tli.ilt a
year’s standing. It is this:—That iu tlio annu
al treasury report rif 1826, it is stated that there
was deposited in two hanks at R leigh, the sum
of 8.4,248 dollars; and that there rent lined in
the treasury, to meet the current demands, the
sum of $84,220. This was shortly before the
meeting of the legislature; and it appears that
the treasurer, during that session, checked on
the hanks for the sunt of $34,455, being nearly
as much as the entire demands on the treasury
during the session. If the money had been in
the treasury, as reported, it would no doubt
have been applied to the purpose for which it
was said to ho retained. Tho inference is, we
think, evident, that it was not thete.
LOUISIANA.
This day twenty four years ago, Louisiana
became it part of the American republic. The
mind, in recurring to that part of our history,
is enraptured nnd astonished at the revolutions
a few years may bring forth. This seemingly
a few years ago, a Spanish hamlet, is to day a
powerful, opulent city ! The hovels of a for
mer age, tiro daily giving way to the more ele
gant structures of comirtoitie. Thero can be
seen no monument of Castilian despotism; no
thraldom of a rapacious clergy, and scarcely
n kindred tongue to speak Pizafro’s praise.—
The 'character of the city, hears no resem
blance to what it was.. It is America, ('always,
and every whore an honorable appellation)
in feeling, wealth, and freedom, witli an exten
sive and coittiimally increasing shipping; the
best of steam powder navigation; a growing
rich pppululiottt and the commerce of several
stutes actually centered here—all give promiso
that New Orleans, is destined to be one of the
first cities in the world.
