SA KLYA'AU,
MONDAY MORNING, Dec. 8.
The members of the council of the city
of Charleston have resolved, that Thursday
next, the 11th instant, be set apart as a
Day of public Thanksgiving, Humiliation
•and Prayer, within their city, that they
may return their grateful thanks to Al
mighty God, the great physician of both
soul and body, for his merciful goodness in
withdrawing from amongst them his justly
merited afflicting hand, by restoring to the
inhabitants their ordinary state of health,
and blessing them with abundance: That
they may humble themselves in his sight,
with fervency in prayer, for his forgiveness
of the past, and preservation from future
offences: That they may benefit by his late
afflicting visitation upon them, and be
henceforth preserved under the influence
of his divine grace and almighty power.
Also resolved, that his honor the inten
dant be requested to notify the various
clergy of that city of the above, and re
quest their co-opcration, by having service
in their respective places of worship on
that day.
[We think it would be commendable if our
citv council would resolve upon a similar proc
lamation.]
MILLEDGEVJLLE, DEC. 2.
His excellency gov. Rabun laid before
the legislature the following communica
tions on yesterday.
Executive department, Milledgeville, Dec. 1.
To the Senate and House of Representatives :
During the last week I had the honor to
receive a communication from the secreta
ry of state of the United States, accompani
ed by a plat of the survey of the boundary
line designated by the treaty with the creek
indi ins, concluded on the 9th Aug. 1814.
By referring to the aforesaid plat, which
is now in this office, the legislature will per
ceive that the same difficulty relative to our
southern boundary which has heretofore
beer, the subject of complaint, still exists.
The resolution of the last legislature re
quiring the governor of this state to call on
the national executive, to cause the line be
tween this state and the province of East-
Florida, to he run and plainly marked, was
communicated by my predecessor on the
30th January last, to which no reply has
been received.
The legislature will therefore take such
further order respecting this important sub
ject, a= they in their wisdom may deem the
most conducive to the interest of the state.
Respectfully submitted,
Wm. Rabun.
7u His ErceHency the Governor of Georgia.
Stß—Understanding from rar. Crawford,
secretary of the treasury, that a plat of the
survey of the boundary line designated by
the t-vaty “ ;, :i the creek indians, conclud
ed the 9th of August, 1814, which was re
turned to this office by the commissioners
of the U. States, in conformity with a pro
vision iu the 2d section of the act of Con
gress, of the 3d March, 1815, would be in
teresting to your state, the legislature of
which is now in session, I take great plea
sure in forwarding herewith to your excel
lency, in separate packet, an accurate copy
trf the said plat.
I have Ihe honor to bp, with great esteem,
your ex’ 3 . obed’t servant,
Jno. Quincy Adams.

Diet”
From the National Intelligencer, Nov. 34.
By the President of the United
States. —Whereas by. an act of Congress
passed on the third day of March, one thous
and eight hundred and fifteen, entitled “an
act to provide for the ascertaining and sur
veying of the boundary lines fixed by the
treaty with the Creek Indians, and for oth
er purposes,” the President of the United
States is authorized to cause the lands aqui
red by the said Treaty to be offered for sale
when surveyed ; and whereas the lands
north of the Tennessee River have been
surveyed.
Therefore, I James Monroe, President of
the United States, in conformity with the
said act,do hereby declare and make known,
that public sales, for the disposal (agreeably
to law) of the lands in Alabama Territory,
north of the river Tennessee, shall be held
at Huntsville, in Madison county, in said
territory, viz, on the first Monday in Febru
ary next, for the lands contained in the ran
ges numbered, one, two, three, four, five and
six; and on the first Monday in March next,
for the remainder of the aforesaid lands ;
each sale shall remain open for three weeks
and no longer ; the sales shall commence
with the first section of the lowest numbers
of townships and ranges, and proceed in
regular numerical order.
Given under my hand at the City of
Washington, the twenty-first day of Nov.
one thousand eight hundred and seventeen.

Extract of a letter from Sidney, dated October
25th 1817.
“Sir. —The wreck of a vessel has been dis
covered within a few days past at Cape
North in this Island, she struck against the
perpendicular part of the Cape called the
Sugar Loaf, and must have sunk iinmedi-
O
ately with all her crew. Parts of (he ves
sel have coine on shore, the end of the fore
yard was above water, from the size of
which, together with other parts, it must be
a vessel of 150 tons and lost about a month
since. I beg you will have the goodness to
insert this in your paper in the hope that
it maybe some inducement to government
to erect a Light-house on St. Paul’s Island,
as there are seldom less than four or live
square rigged vessels cast away yearly
about tiie Cape that we hear of ; how ma
ny share the fate of this unfortunate vessel
and are never discovered I cannot say.”

BALTIMORE, NOVEMBER 27.
Messrs. Rodney, Graham, and Bland,
commissioners to South America, with mr.
Brackenridge, secretary to the mission, left
this city this morning in the steam boat
Virginia, for Norfolk, where they will em
bark on board the Congress frigate, captain
Sinclair, and proceed immediately to per
form the “duties of their appointment.
A general court martial,of which major
general Scott was president, was held at
West Point, on the 20th Oct. last, upon
captain Alden Partridge, of the corps of
engineers, on certain charges exhibited
against him. The court found him guilty of
part of the specifications; and sentenced
him to be cashiered. But in consideration
of the zeal and preserverance which the
prisoner had uniformly displayed in
in the discharge of his professional duties,
up to the period of August last, recommend
ed him to tlie clemency of the president of
the U. States, in the hope that the punish
ment above awarded might be remitted.
The president having taken this recommen
dation into consideration, remitted the
punishment, as recommended, and ordered
capt. Patridge to report himself to the sen
ior officer of Engineers. Ch. Courier.
Trade with America. —There have been
imported from the United S. of America,
in the course of the last twelve months,
above one million ot barrels of flour into
the different ports of the United Kingdom.
The town of Liverpool alone has imported
nearly 500,000 barrels. The average
price a barrel is about 60s. The amount paid
to America for this article by Great Brit
ain alone, may therefore be estimated at
three millions of pounds sterling—But be
sides this large suin from great Britain, the
bad harvests ot last year throughout a large
part of Europe, enabled America to levy
contributions from France, Spain and Por
tugal to a very considerable extent, for
flour; and the Americans appear to have
managed the business very skilfully—for,
when a demand was first expected from
Europe, it was universally given out that,
the United States could afford but a small
quantity of flour to Europe—some few hun
dred thousand barrels were talked of at
the utmost. In addition to this article,
Europe pays sums to tin* U. States for
tobacco, cotton, wool, pot and pearl ashes,
rice, flaxseed, (about 50,000 hogsheads of
seven bushels each, annually imported into
Ireland, value from Si to 51 a hogshead or
at an average 41 a hogshead, 200,0001) tur
pentine and staves. — London Paper.
From lady Morgan’s France.
French Peasantry. —The influence of the
toilette is universal in France, and it is far
from being exclusively an object of female
devotion, even among the peasantry. The
young farmer “ zui se fait brave,” is, in his
own estimation, as attractive as any mar
veilleux of the chausee D'Antin can sup
pose himself. His well powdered head and
massive quieu, his round hat, drawn up at
either side, “ pour faire le monsieur'’ his
larjre silver buckles, and silver watch, with
his smart white calico jacket and trowsers,
present an excellent exhibition of rural cox
combry, while the elders of the village set
off* their frieze coats with a fine flowered
linen waistcoat, whose redundancy ot flaps
renders the texture of the nether part of
their dress very unimportant.
But, however tasteless or coarse, howev
er simple or grotesque, the costume o( the
French peasantry may appear to the stran
ger’s eve, it. still is a costume! It is a re
finement. on necessity, and not the mere
and meagre covering of shivering nature.
It is always one, among many evidences,
that the people are not poor, lire not unci
vilized, that they require the decencies ot
life, and aie coiwpetent to purchase them.
Froth the Oswego Gazette.
Distressing Accident. —Yesterday morn
ing three men left the mill situated in the
middle of Oswego Falls in a skiff’, designing
to land some distance above, but the rapidi
ty and force of the current resisted all the
strength, which could be put against it, and
the skiff’was carried over the Falls. Two
of the inen, perceiving their danger, leaped
from the boat and by the most violent exer
tion obtained hold of the foundation of the
mill, where they with difficulty hung until
taken oft’, about an hour afterwards. The
other was precipitated over the falls, dash
ed against the rocks and drowned. He
batted the waters for a considerable time to
no effect, and every effort to sive him was
ineffectual. The dec’ll is mr. Silas Pierce,
stone-cutter, an industrious and worthy
man, and an excellent citizen. He is un
derstood to have left in Boston a numerous
family to lament his sudden departure.—
This is the second death which has been
caused by the erection of a saw mill in the
most dangerous situation conceivable at
the Foot of Oswego Falls, in the centre of
the river,in open defiance of the states, and
in wanton exposure of the lives of those
whose business may call them to it.
CALCUTTA, APRIL 4.
Horrid Superstition. —On Wednesday
last, a Suttee, or female sacrifice, by burn
ing, took place at Kanli Gnaut.
april 21. — A devotee, who pes formed
the diabolical ceremony of swinging, during
the last Churruck Pooja, fell from the hook
by which he was suspended, pitched upon
his head, and expired on the spot.
