j&abatmag: SATURDAY MORAWG, April 20. TOWN MEETING. / At an adjourned meeting of the citizens of Sa vannah, held yesterday at the Exchange, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propri ety of the city council assuming thevdebt due by the Poor House and Hospital, General Edward Harden, was called to the chair, and Samcel M. Bond, appointed secretary. The proceedings of the last meeting of the ci tizens on this subject, as published in the Gazettes of this city, having been read, the resolution -therein mentioned was again 1,-ought tothecon sideration of the public. Mr. Joseiii Gumming then rose and stated, that a report of a committee of the city council on the subject o’ the debts of the Hospital had been made to the corporation and moved that the same be read, which motion being seconded, was carried and the report refer red to, was accordingly read. After considerable debate on the propriety of assuming the bebt, and several resolutions and amendments being made, the following resolu tion was moved by Col. Steele White and car ried by a large majority. Resolved, That it is the opinion of the citizens cf Savannah assembled at the Exchange for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of the meeting held on Friday the 12th inst. that the Corporation of the City of Savannah should not assume the debt of due by the l’oor , House rnd Hospital. So the citizens assembled who were numer- j yes, decided that it was inexpedient for the city | to assume the debt of JS2I,OGO due by the Hos pital. The meeting then adjourned. EpwABD Harden, Chairman. S. M. Bond, Sec, ’ey. Ma. Eiiltor —You are requested to announce Hr. SI'EELB WHITE, tlie independent citi zen, as a candidate for the Senate, at the next October election. The Spirit of Savannah. We learn by the Jubilee, Capt. Hill, that the Spanish privateer Vanganza, of Id guns and 175 men, had an engagement of two hours and a half, with aA’atriot privateer, supposed to be the Centir.el, ot the Congress, of 14 or 16 guns.— The Vanganza lost 5 men killed, and IS wound ed. The loss on board the Patriot must have been very great. The Vanganza fell in with the schr. Execution, of Poston, loaded with beef, pork and beans ; had been taken by the pirates and carried into St. Mary’s Keys, where apart of the cargo had been landed. The Vanganza took on board as much as she could of the cargo, and burnt the schr.—,V T. Daily Aclv. 8/A inst. The mansion-house, of Major Ezekiel Noble, in Abbeville district, was destroyed bt fire on the 4th inst.—The greater part of the furniture in the house and out-buildings was also consum ed. FF. >.M OUR CORRESPONDENT. Office of the Chariefion Courier, > April 18.' — noon. 5 Late from I'ranpe The ship Richard Flasket, Capt. Stewart, in 43 davs from Havre, arrived this morning. We have been favored with the loan of a file of Par is gazettes to the 25th. and with Havre papers to the 27th of February. Havre Letters to the 37th, represent the Cot ton Market in a very depressed state, and with out anv prospect of amelioration—7ooo bales of, Georgia, and 8500 of New-Otleans, on hand—2Bj a.lo} sons for Uplands; Sea-Islands 48 sous. Alice is I® no demand, although, there had been no arrivals of the new crop. We learn, verbally, by the arrivalsfrom Havre, that there had been some improvement in the Cotton market in England, in consequence of the increased demand for Manufactured Goods. The same state of uncertainty continues as to a war between Russia and Turkey. England ap pears to be actively engaged in a correspon dence with the court of St. Petersburg, to ar-j rest sucb a result.—An article from Odessa, of j tnc 24th January, states, that hostilities still con-! turned between Persia and the Porte. The Chamber of Deputies is still engaged in’ debate upon a project of a law for the regulation! of the Journals. The French Chamber of Deputies at the last j dates, were discussing the financial appropria-’ tions and the penal code. Every here and there j m the debate, are warm and direct attacks on the Ministry, and the Government, by the speak ers ala gauche, for the opposition it seems sit on rke left of the chair. Two King’s Messengers passed through Brus sels on the morning of the 19th Feb. on their v ’ :, y from St. Petersburg to London. Letters from Naples of the 01st January, speak of some recent disturbances in Sicily—several j individuals of the first families at Palermo, had ! left Sicily, and retired to the continent. Nine persons had been shot at Palermo—among them the Abbe Villa, and a Notary Public. Several others were threatened with the same fate. The Lieut. Gen.Nunziante, is invested with extensive powers to maintain order. A number of tiiose engaged in the late con spiracy at Sunnier, were under trial on the 21st of February. They were mostly subaltern ofli oers or students in the Royal Military school at hauiner. The plot is stated to have had for its o‘ject to overturn the government, and excite a civil war. Letters from Madrid of the 12th Feb. mention t eat a plot ag-ainst the life of Hiego, had been ‘- Covered in time to prevent its execution.— f Spanish papers to the same date, contain nothing interesting. The population of Switzerland is found by a late census to be one million seven hundred and fifty thousand. The shock of an Earthquake was felt at Lyons at 8 o’clock in the morning of the 19th Feb.— the noise resembl ng that of a carriage passing over a bridge—the inhabitants remained foi some hours in the streets, and the tremulous mo tion of the houses, which continued for some time, was accompanied by a rumbling noise. A lyric poem on the death of Bonaparte, wor thy, as the Conatituuonel says of the subject, and of Pindar, has been published in Paris. The author is M. P. Lebrun, author of “Mary Stew art.” ‘ * Reflections on the means of preserving Con i stitutional order, and shewing the insufficiency i of the present institutions of France, for that end ’ have likewise been published in France. | The Duke of Luxemburg has presented a dia i i. ond ring to the German translator of the French work entitled A'etv Biography of the Great Alan j if the present day. I The Renegade, anew Novel by the Viscount D’Arlingcourt, author of the Recluse, has run through four editions in Paris, in the course of a month.

I From Vienna —The cornier, bearer cf [the answer of the cabinet of St. Peters i burgh, which has been some time expected, has not yet arrived ; but there is one arri ved from England, and a rumor lias since been circulated, that the Marquis of Lon donderry had addressed, in the name of his Majesty the King of England, a Note to the court id f!t. Petersburgh, in which he made very pressing representations in fa vor ol the preservation of peace ;yet, it is said, England has declared, at the same time, that, in case of a rupture between Russia and the Forte, she would observe \ the most strict neutrality, and content her- I self with sending a reinforcement of troops | and ships of war to the lonian Islands and Mediterranean sea. l eu thousand Neapolitan soldiers, of the [old army,are now assembling in the neigh iborhood ol Naples,and are to be incorpora j ted in the new regiments, which are now io-gar.iz.iiig. Some of these regiments are ! already formed, and arc to be sent to Ski -1 ly, to be completed there. London, Feb. 19—A public meeting of t e (’ itholics was held at Dublin on Tues day la-it, with the view of addiessing Far ! lia neu* for their emancipation. | Ihe cliaiactet of ilia disturbances in he- Ha.;;! is everv dav becoming more serious. —>> e do not see that any conspicuous I lislnnau takes pait in it. LONDON, FEB. 16. Wo wait with impatience the result of the deliberation <>f yesterday, which the Marquis of Londonderry is to propose to <’• ili iineuf, for the relief of agrictillaral distresses. M iih this exception, every o'her branch of public industry and reve nue, is in the most flourishing state—their products is continually increasing, and du ring the first five weeks of this year, it has surpassed the product of the same number of weeks in the last year Commerce, par tictlla• ly, is in a very flourishing state. The Minister has announced in his speech, ‘ j that the eductions proposed, will amount | altogether to two millions sterling. - The 15 i er cents w ill also be induced to 4 per I cents, which will make a further reduction f one million four huilied thousand pounds. The Minister terminated his speech, b stating that a comparative view of the fi nances of the country for the years 1821, & that proposed for 1822, would be submitt ed to Parliament. A long debate ensued, in which it was endeavoured tobe shewn to | the Ministers, that the reductions propos ed v.eie too trifling to afford any import | ant amelioration to the agricultural inter [e-tsofthe country; but the morion was [ finally adopted without a division. ODESSA, JAN. 24. It appears certain, that notwithstanding the death of the son of the King of Persia, which is now confirmed, war will continue) between the Turks and Persians; and that j the King of Persia has given an answer ve-! ry little satisfactory .to the. [impositions of mediation which have been made by the British Charge des Affaires at the Court. “HAVRE, Feb. 27. “By fresh arrivals from NOrleans, (two in port and one in the roa.l) the aggregate of imports j from the U. States since the beginning of the year is now as follows: <b COTTON. Rales. Redes. | Louisiana.

We leave you to judge of the results or such operations, in comparing this price with ours, and those and those of Liverpool.

By the British packet from Manchester, the Editors of the New-York Commercial Advertiser, have received from their attentive corn-spoil dent, London pappers to the 13th of Feb. and Shipping Lists io the 11th. On the 11th February the royal assent was given to the Irish insurrection bill, and the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act. The insurrection bill, says a London paper, gives to Magistrates a right to enter into the most retired and delicate part of any dwelling house, and if refused admittance, to force the chambers even of females ! By this Act, an y man found out ol his House between sun set and sun rise, any person found drinking in a public house in the same period, tvliether a traveller or not— any owner or occupier of a bouse, absent from home in the same period—any person in whose possession either arms or ummu nition are found—all these are liable to transportation for seven yeais ! 1 and this too without the mtei ference of a Grand Ju ry by Bill ! ! without the Petty Jury by their verdict, and without allowing the grieved oarty any satisfactory appeal! ! The King of England held a levee on the Bth of Feb at which the Ambassador of the l_ f . 8. was present. Bell’s Weekly Messenger of the 11th February, states, that “government have at length agreed with the country gentle men to borrow of the Bank four millions, and to distribute it among the Agricultural ists at a low tale ol interest, and upon easy security.” A Treasury Older has been issued per mitting the use of wheat in malting and distilling. The accounts received from Ireland du ring the proceeding week, are stated to be seriously alarming, and to almost excite an apprehension tiiat even the increasing rer uns of the law will be insufficient lor the accomplishment of an object so universally and fervently desired. The tinman Manufactures appear to be entirely into compe ition with those of England, by sending linens, and other goods of German Manufacture to the W'est-Jn tlies. Kussin and Turkey. —lt is now said on the autlimiy of a letter from Nurembuig, jdated tlie 27(h January, that, ‘on she 10th of December, the Reis ft lie ml i communica ted to the English and Austrian Ambassa dors the answer of the Ottoman Forte to ; the Russian Ultimatum, in which hi- sob j lime highness gave a general consent to tin- Russian Propositions, but that lie required them to be modified in several particulars.” In the Gazette de France, there are ac counts from Vienna of the 23d of January, in which it is said, that on that day the Go vernor and Directors of the Imperial Hank went to thank the Emperor Francis for (lie favor which he had granted Cos that estab lishment during the past year, on whirl! occasion his Majesty ob-erved to them, that lie calculated upon the preservation of peace in the east. London, Feb. 12. Last nigi.t Mr. Brougham made his pro mised motion on the Mate of the Country, in which he took a very able and compre hensive view of the actual situation of the agricultural and commetcial interests. lie shewed that the di-tress which existed was excessive taxation—that the only relief : was in a reduction of the public expendi ture. lie exposed, in many instances, the i wanton eitra-agance of Ministers* and how all their plans of economy and retrenchment had been. He declared, that it was only by retrenching, and that on such a scale, as would be effectual, that we could avoid the rock—the most dread ful on which a State could bt wrecked—! |national bankruptcy. Lite Mirnstergf he! [said, had but a choice of eviis between in solvency and efficient retrenchment. He I particularly cautioned the House against any plan of relief founded upon a shifting of the Taxes, or upon the renewal of the Property l'ax, well knowing fr< in little be ginnings, that Tax attained such an ett ir iiiou3 magnitude. The learned gentleman concluded an eloquent Speech, which oc cupied three hours anti a half, with moving! a resolution, “that it was the bounded du-j ty nftlie House to consider the distress un-i der which all classes of the community,| but particularly the laboui ing classes, sti ug-: gled; and to obtain for the suffering people of this realm such a reduction of taxation as would relieve the burdens by which they were at present borne dour.” The Marquis of Londonderry, the only Minister who spoke on the subject, acting on the general policy of the Administration i of which he forms so prominent a member, of deferring the evil day as long as possi ble, met the arguments of Mr. Broughinnn by moving the previous question and eii tieating the House lo wait until Friday, wljen it would be seen what his Mnj sly ’s Ministers intended (or them. His L-nl ship was particularly uneasy lest lie should disclose any pat t of hi- plan,'but linn: ith uanding his anxiety in this respect, he let out enough to shew that a rcduc'inti in tin- J taxation fm*ied no part of it. Whal thej grand specific may be, .ve know not bull as t! e House seemed willing to respite his Lordship until Fnriiv, we shall not enter, into any speculations, on the nVinis by | which Ministers propose so et>- fidentlv to| r e!ieyeThe enunriy without diminishing its buriiens. — Star.
