SAV^WNAH. 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. TOR THE MUSEUM AMI) GAZETTE. 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. friend to moderate prices in the necessaries of life frEW-TOHX, AUGUST 10. By the ship Nimrod, captain Centre, arrived this morning in 49 days from Havre, we have received French papers to the 19th June inclu sive.

June 19, ship Mar cus. l or New-Orleans —The ship Minerva. A letter received in New-York on the 7th instant, from a Correspondent on Red sajs “ Two great expeditions are now under w ay for the Spanish country—3oo families are 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 in ten miles of my plantation. Another is also making up to take possession of St. Ar.toine, under the command of a general Long.” CHARLESTON, AUG. 18. 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 1 le on the Coast of Florida, and the murder of her crew. It was found, however, on xmimtion, that there were not sufficient ground* to convict him of the above charge. But it appearing that lie had taken a cargo of coffee and sugar from the above vessel, he has Been sentenced to ten day* imprisonment in the *bove place, and to defray the cost* of the mu it •Rending a prosecution, for not reporting the •rrnasdion on hi* arrival in thi* city, Fuliioi. 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. St. Louis Enquirer, July 9. ALBAXT, AUGUST 6. 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.
