SATURDAY MORNING, August 21 ,1819.
■■■ ■ ■ ——————————— ■ M^l
\Vc scarcely take up a paper from any part of
tlie country, that does not complain of the dull
ness of the times, and the dearth of news. In
deed, every part of our country, and the whole
norld, remains in such a state of profound tran
quility—that even Rumor, with her hundred
tongues, sits listless, and idle, for the want of
materials to spin her tales fiom. There is no
thing im the commercial line to awaken the en
terprize of the speculator. There is a total stag
nation of business. The political world is a dead
calm. The ambition of princes, or the crooked
policy of intriguing politicians, are not sufficient
ly powerful to disturb this death-like repose.—
That daring and ungovernable spirit of conten
tion—so inherent in human nature —and w hich
lias heretofore filled the earth with blood and vi
olence, now seems chained, as if touched with
the finger of death. There is an anxious pause
in the usual occurrence of events, dreadful and
ominous. And as the wondering spectator, ru
minates on scenes so new in the history of the
world, he can but ask, are things to remain in
this state forever ? Are the now blooming fields
of Europe never again to be moistened in blood,
nd are the widow and the orphan to weep no
more, over the ravages of war ? Is the reign of
rielonce at an end, and has ambition lost the
power of troubling the earth? Indeed the time
has been promised, when all this shall be. But
we are not of those who believe it has now
come —There is sometimes a deep but deceitful
tranquility, which only serves to usher in, and
render more dreadful, the approaching storm. —
The hostile elements of nature, which gathered
unnoticed and in silence, breast suddenly on the
astonished world. And is not the present peace,
which now prevails among the nations—omin
ous of some mighty explosion hereafter to take
place in the political world ? In the bosom of
this profound tranquility, may be gathering the
principles of future wars, more extensive and
bloody than those that have gone before them.
There is nothing in the present state of the
world, which proves a change in the temper or
dispositions of men. It only speaks of the ex
hausted power of nations.—Wearied with the
struggle of a twenty years war, the princes of
Europe gladly embraced the present moment,
to recover their strength. The current of blood,
which had so tong deluged those countries was
wasted.—And from a sta'e of high-wrought ex
citement, tiie world has sunk into a state of
lethargic repose. But the elements of hostility
remain unquenched, and will again break out.

Messrs Editors.
I have heard of frequent complaints as to the
price of Bread.—Now, gentlemen, to put a stop
to further complaints, let a BAKING Company
be established. Those who may not wish to in
vest their money in Bank Stock, would find that
it cannot be laid out to better advantage,than in a
Baking establishment There is one I under
stand in operation in Charleston.
Such an establishment will be the only means
to lower the price of bread—Oh ! appropos ! in
New-\ork Assize of Bread is for a 12J cents loaf
21b. 11 oz.; and by ours is 2 lb. 4 $ oz. making
a difference of 6 j oz —Bakers must grow rich
at this rate — i hese are only hints for others to
take up the subject.

A letter received in New-York on the 7th

now making ready to take possession of that
part of Red River, within the Spanish lines, (as
fixed by the late treaty) and which comes with

making up to take possession of St. Ar.toine,

Captain Lucas Minas, (of the sclir. Francisco,
condemned in this city for piratical practices)
•as been recently arrested in St. Augustine, on
* e c i |Ur gc of being concerned in the plunder of

J\oi th-Carolina Jiunks —We have to state,
(says the Petersburg Intelligencer of the 17th
inst.) on the authority of letters received from
Raleigh, that on Tuesday lasi, the State Bank of
North-Carolina resolved upon the entire suspen
sion of specie payments. From the same source
we learn, that several days previous, the bank
had been thronged with visitors, each waiting
his turn to demand specie or northern funds for
its notes. And we further understand, that a
gentleman of this town having been refused pay
ment, had a large amount protested on Tuesday,
w ith a determination to bring suit immediately.
We understand that Robert Brent, esq. lias
resigned the office of paymaster general of the
army. Our readers will be concerned to learn
that continued ill health is the cause of this va
cation of office. His successor is not yet named.
JVattonal Intelligencer, Aug 12.
The postscript to the last paper,which states the
return of the military expedition, is incorrect-
No part of it has returned. The steam boats,
however, get on slow ly, and with many stoppa-,
ges. The keel boats go on rapidly, and passed
St. Charles (18 miles from Belle Fontaine) tw o
days ahead of the former. The contents of the
steam boats will probably be transferred to keels
and barges. The river is in fine order ; the Ju
ly flood is coming down, and swelling the stream
with the last of the annual tributes. The fail
ore of the steam boats is attributable to the con
struction or management, and not to the rivers.

Governor Tompkins’ Account. —We understand
that all further proceedings towards a settle
ment between the state and its late chief magis
trate, have been suspended for the present, in
consequence of a determination of the comp
troller, communicated to the vice-president in
writing, not to settle upon principles which
were notoriously recognised by the legislature,
as a basis upon which a settlement should be
predicated. Ten or twelve of the most emi
nent counsellors in the state, of different politi
cal tenets, we understand, have concurred in a
written opinion, adverse to the comptroller’s
decision in the case. Argus.
