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.

Nat. Intel. Swedish and Norwegian Consulate, New-York, Nov. 27, 1816. $ Pursuant to the directions from the board of Trade, dated Stockholm, August 18th, 1817, notice is hereby given, that in obedience to an edict of his Swedish and Norwegian majesty, dated on the Gth of the same month, not only all vessels coming from the Mediterranean, or the coasts of Spain and Portugal, but also all vessels coming from the Levant, coasts of Barbary, the West-1 ndia Islands, and from North- America, for the present, be considered as suspected of infection, and must perforin quarantine atKANSO accordingly. HENRY GAHN. HALIFAX, NCV. 11. 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.” A Kingston.

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.
