S&a&amtaf): SATURDAY MORNING, May 4. try A Charity Sermon will be preached by the Rev. Mr. Sixortnaiss, in the Independent Pres byteriann Church To-moarow, for the benefit of the Savannah Female Astylum. FROM LA (l UAYR A, —Our correspondent, under date of the 28th March, writes us nothing 1 particularly interesting. It probablv is already known to our readers, that captain Daniels has been appointed by the Vice-President of Colom bia (General Santander, acting as the first magis trate of tile republic) to be commander in chief’ of the naval forces of the same, with the rank of r Commodore. The governments of Peru, Chili; and Buenos Ayres proposed to that of Colombia! to make, constitute and appoint Lord Cochrane,! Admiral of all these Republics. It is supposed die proposition will be ckeerfuliy assented to by .the Libertator, Bolivar. Quere? Is not his Lordship a British subject— and can his practical warfare against the friends ’ and allies of George the 4th, be construed into any thing else, but a breach of the laws of na tions, by the government of Great Britain for winking at his acts? Char. City Gaz. Cotton Fraud. —A factor a few days since, in looking at a bale of Cotton consigned to him, was so much struck with the beauty of the ex terior sample, that he had the curiosity to seek further—-when he discovert*! that the inside of it was composed of filth and rottenness! Tills villainy may seldom occur, but whenever it docs, it stabs the character of our stale.— lbid. Kit West. —Certain Individuals from Mobile have gone to this Island, with the view, it would seem, oftaking possession ofit, as if it was at this moment unappropriated. It is proper that it should be known, to pre vent any trespass—which can be injurious to the | trespassers only in the result—that the said Island has been purchased by Gov. Geddcs, in this city, whose title has been recognized bv the Court of the United States in Past Florida, which Court has granted an injunction to stay waste against Mr. Simonton, a rival claimant, requiring of him and of his laborers and associates §20,000 secuti ty to abide by its decree. Any subsequent trespassers would of course be liable to the same penalties and ejectment. The slaves, mechanics and property on the Isl and, belonging to Gen. Geddes, are under the avowed protection of the Navy of the U. States. Charleston Courier. An amusing occurrence happened in tills town and its neighborhood, the other day. Four fel lows, belonging to the peculiar caste of gentle men; vulgarly known as vagabonds, were taken | vtp by our vigilant Marshal; but as it was appre hended that their detention in gaol might be more productive of expense to the Corporation than of benefit to either party, a compromise was made on the condition of their crossirigthc bridge —They however, ho sooner put feet on the S. Carolina shore, than the inhabitants of Hamburg again laid hold of them; coupled the unfortunate devils; and drove them back to Augusta, “two by two, one after another*” with a drum rolling behind them: “Where they have gone; and how they fare. Very few know .-—and very few care.” Augusta Chronicle, 25th u!t. “Ye black, and midnight hags, Wbat is it ye do.” The Police were called upon on Saturday af ternoon by a gentleman from Gold near Ueck man-street, to investigate a mysterious affair which had been the source of may “dark mus ings” in the neighborhood, through a good part of the winter. A light had been frequently seen at all hours of the night, in an uninhabited cellar thereabouts, and hearing sepulchral sounds pro ceeding from within la9t Saturday evening, a magistrate of the police, and two trusty officers, went down to explore the source of suspicion.— The first objects that seized their expecting gaze, when they had got down the stairs, was a monstrous heap of fresh earth, thrown up so as to half fill the cellar; a bible lying open, with something like a sword across it, and some long bright iron rods with other apparatus of wizzards and money diggers, lying here and there around —Advancing, they next discovered deep down in the pit from which the earth had been thrown a huge black being, whom men less resolute might perhaps, in such circumstances, have con cluded at once to be Old Nick himself. It was a stout, strapping nego, half frightened out of his vi.s, and with ever}’ feature distorted with ter ror, at the imposing array of his unexpected vis itors. His fright and curious tout ensemble, not a little heightened the scene. The magistrate soon ordered him up and ex amined him. lie said that a white man had put him there to dig lor buried money; and that all the apparatus they saw was employed on the ob ject. The long iron rods with bamboo cases 5 were intended to explore ahead, as he dug; the bible, with the sword across it pointing towards the hole, Was to keep the debbel off; but as to the singular figure of the hole, or any other mys teries about the matter, he could say nothing— fils business was to dig—to dig, “and beware the foul fiendthat he had already got down twelve or fifteen feet, and hope spoke “goldenly.”— There being now no object with the m n g>strate but to prevent the future annoyance ? ‘ the neighborhood; the poor negro was ordered,witli a threat of bridewell if he disobeyed, to have the whole pit filled up again in twenty-four hours;— end ts he ttruck another stroke with bis shovel to go deeppr, he was assured that the devil himself would come in good earnest, and carry him off j through an underground passage! The latter branch of the threat was most effectual; and the poor fellow, distilled to a jelly with fear, protest, ed solemnly that he had once already since he had been digging there, seen the devil or some other dreadful black creature, as big as a large cat, dart up by him out of the hole, and vanish in the air above. The white fellow who started Si carried on the operation; was not present, and is not known What numbers have had their brains turned, and wasted some little estates, through the infatuation of digging for Kid’s money. V. f. Com. Adv. 2 3d intt. [From the National Intelligencer, March 24] Latest from Mexico. —The Cortes of} ‘Mexico, our readers will recollect, was to} have been assembled on the 25th of Feb.} last, and did convene accordingly. A late ; Havana papei, received in this city, con i tains the Speech of the President, Iturbide.i |at ttie opining of the Cortes. A gentle man has politely favored us with a trans lation of extracts from the material parts ofit which are as follows : Extract from the address of the President at the Regency, (lturbide,) ©n the installation ol the Cortes in Mexico. He commences by congratulating the Cortes on the elevated position occupied by them as representatives of the people of Mexico, in full possession of all their i igh's, and called upon to fix the destiny of eight millions of people, and innumerable future generations. lie disclaims the vanity of arrogating to himself the title of Deliverer of his Coun try, and declares himself grateful to those citizens, who, by their valor, zeai, ami dis interestedness, co-operated with him in achieving i's independence. He declares his satisfaction iri having placed the Cortes, (which he call* your mi'jesty,) in a situation where they may en act the best laws, in perfect tranquility, free from enemies, without or xvitiitn the whole extent of this vast empire—for the SOU rash Spiiiiaid* who occupy the castle of St. Juan Ulloa, ought nut to be counted, nor the very few Mexicans, who from mis taken ideas, or from personal ambition might attempt any thing against ihetn He says, that the happiness of the country will depend on their labours, their virtues, and their wisdom ; that dangers threaten their tranquility, but ofily threaten it; that the spirit in ail the provinces is uniform; that they have voluntarily sanctioned the basis of their political regeneration, and of the constitution, which is to put the seal to their prosperity. That notwithstanding all tliis, there are turbulent men, who car ried away by the fury of their passions, en deavor to sow division among the people, and (o interrupt the tranquil and majestic march of liberty. lie asks who can, ci j who would dare altempt to restore the sys tem ol absolute dominion, either in one person, or in many ? Mho would be so rash as to pretend to reconcile them with the abhorred maxims of superstition.—** They speak however, they write they ex claim against serviiism, and place it in the most odious light; they point at its Bartiz an*, exaggerate their number, and their power, aud impudently assert that the gov ernment favors them. On the contrary, what invectives from others against exult ed liberalism 1 They aUack and libel each other, as if we were involved m ’he hor rors of a tumultuous democracy—as if there was no other lsw than the discordant opin ions of a blind and furious people. lie accuses these disturbers of the pub lic peace of sowing the seeds of discontent and disunion, oflighting the torch ofdis-l cord, encouraging animosities, fomenting factions, and seeking to involve the coun try in the horrors of anarchy. These are, lie says, the views of those miserble beings, whose fortune depends on tire destruction of the state, who, in the convulsions and confusion they may create, expect to obtain posts to which thei. virtues could never raise them. Who, under the pre tence of protecting the oppressed, would establish the most dreadful tyranny. He tells them to Le watchful, for that foreign nations observe them attentively, wailing to see whether these omens will be verified or not, and either to respect their wisdom or to profit by their folly.— But your majesty, superior to these insin uations and attempts of the wicked, will know how to unite the inhabitants of this vast empire; will establish perfect e qualitv in the administration of justice; will be the protector of our rights, mark ing the limits preset ibed to liberty by rea ion and justive, so as to prevent it from falling into despotism, or degenerating in to licentiousness, which would endanger the public security. Under the auspices of your majesty, justice will reign; merit & virtue be conspicuous ; agriculture, com merce, and industry, will receive new life ; the arts and sciences will flournish ; and, finally, this empire will be a region of delight a"nd abundance, the country of Christians, the refuge of the good and ra tional, the admiration ot the world, and an eternal monument of the glory of the first Mexican Congress; He states himself to be decided to main tain the authority of the Congress, because it will shut the door against impiety and superstition : against despotism and licen tiousness, and against caprice and discord. The Secretary of War has ordered as a mark of respect to the memory of the late Maj. Gen. Moses Porter, that the officers of the army wear crape on the hilt of their swords for the space of thirty days. WASHINGTON, APRIL 25. We are sorry to learn, that Mr Lownde9 is about to depart from this city on his return home, in consequence of continued ill health. We mentioned, the other day, a rumor [lien in circulation, that the point is dis pute between the U. S. and G. Britain, re -pecting the restoration of captured Slaves, I which had, according to the treaty, been ’ referred to the arbitration of the Emperor j of Russia, had been decided by him in fa vor of the claims of the U. S. This, we now understand, is incorrect. Thefactls that the last information from Sf. Peters-, burg was, that the discussion on the subject, by the Ministers of the the U. S. ami G. ‘Britain, had terminated, and that it was | finally placed before the Minister of For eign. A flairs, for theawaid of the Empe ror. The third bill of the Committee of Re trenchment, which was reported in the House of Representatives yesterday, pro poxes to reduce the compensation of the public officers, clerks, &c. generally to what it was eight or ten years ago, being a reduction from theii compensation of from 15 to 25 per centum on its present amount.
