SATURDAY MOR.Yr.YG, JU.YE 23, lS
The foreign necvs furnished by the last mails,
possesses uncommon interest. There can no lon
ger be any doubt in regard to the views of Russia.
She has declared war against Turkey—her armies
are in motion —and are already pressing towards
Constantinople. And it is probabte that ere this,
the first blow will already have been struck. How j
far the other great powers of Europe may fee]
themselves interested in the contest between the
Muscovite and tho Ottoman, or what line of poli
cy they may adopt, is impossible yet to foresee. —
It can hardly be believed however, that they will
remain passive spectators of the approaching tra
gedy-
Yet whatever course may be pursued by the
other nations of Europe, there can be no doubt but j
the struggle between the Czar and the Pofte, will j
be a protracted and a bloody one. The physical
force of the Russian Empire is immense ; her peo-;
pie are brave and warlike, and her armies, at the
shortest notice, may be swelled to almost any mag
nitude. The resources of the Sultan on the other
hand, are scarcely inferior ; his Empire though ill
governed and badly organised, is vast, and embra
ces some of the finest portions of Europe, Asiaand
Africa. His forces are numerous and brave ; and
above all, there is that indomitable spirit of pride
and obstinacy about the Turk, that will call forth
all the skill and valor of the better disciplined
Russian to overcome. The Turk may fall, but he
will fall like the strong man armed, and after a
desperate struggle.
The Georgian is in error when it states that
the land in dispute between Georgia and the U
nited States, on the “ Florida line, has already
been granted to our citizens.” The line from Ln
dicot’s Mount to the Forks of the Flint and Cha
tahochie, as run by General Watson, forms the
boundary on the Florida side of the old counties o
Appling, If win and Early ; and the Georgia sur.
veyors did not cross this line in their surveys of
this territory. It is now insisted, on the part of
Georgia, that the true line should be run much to
the South of Endicot's Mount; which would leave
a strip of land between Florida and the present
Georgia limits, which has never yet been survey
ed by the State, nor granted to our citizens*-
The Editors of the Georgian will, doubtless, re
collect the Message of Gov. Forsyth, to the House
of Representatives, wherein he recommends the
passage of a law to prohibit any surveys in that
section of country round the head waters of the
the St Marvs, by individuals, under what are
termed head rights.
Some of our warm Jackson friends have found
fault with us, for stating in oar first number, our
candid impressions in regard to the “ bargain and
sale” story, which is so much harped upon by a
certain class of writers throughout the country.—
“It is (say they) greatly handled to their preju
dice.” Wow we know, and so does every intelli
gent man know, that this story is not believed by
any, except a few of the most uninformed ; —yet
will individuals, of high standing, lend themselves
to the circulation of what they know to be a base :
calumny, for fear that an independent expression
of sentiment, would injure them in some cf their
electioneering schemes! Wow the truth is, the
two great parties in this state, have taken it into
their heads to run a Jackson race ; and finding lit
tle else to differ about, they have settled down into
the most noble competion of striving to outdo each
other in clamoring for Jackson ! Wot they like
Jackson any better now than they formerly did .
but they imagine that as he is the favorite of the
people, so they can be floated into office on the
current of his popularity. “Hurra for Jackson,
(says B. the candidate,) I am one of his consistent
friends.” “ Hurra for Jackson (says A. his oppo
nent,) lam one of his true friends !” So they un
dertake to show the sincerity of their friendship
for Jackson, by heaping abuse upon Adams and
Clay. It is supposed that their willirignessto go
the whole amount for Jackson, will be received by
the people, as the criterion of their merits; and
whatever their fitness for office may be, the can
didates hope they may carry their point by bawl
ing loudly for Jackson. This is the true secret of
two-thirds of the clamor that is made about Jack
son in this State. The influence and exertions of
a few individuals, in order to put down another
great name, rendered Jackson popular with the
people ; and now these same individuals, and ma
ny others, who are looking for office, are obliged
to follow the current they can no longer control.
Our Jones county friend knows this as well as we
do ; and he ought to have known also, that as wc
are not candidates for office ourselves, so we are
not bound to suppress any of our opinions, for th e
sake of those who are ; and who hope to succeed
by disguising their own. We have our own rea
sons for the support we have yielded to the claims
of Gen. Jackson ; and that support, if it was not
important, was at least sincere ; we shall continue
to yield him all that confidence which his high
character deserves. But we’ shall not consent to
stand passive spectators and see an honest man
borne down by sheer falsehood and abuse, because
the mere expression of opinion on our part might
‘be handled to the prejudice of any of our
friends!’ We have as much regard for the
interests of our friends as other people ; but if they
are likely to suffer, by a candid expression of opi
nion, let them look to it; it is their business and
not ours.
Although many of our politicians are fond of
railing against the Tariff, we have not seen that
any of them have yet adopted in practice the retal
iatory measure ot dressing in homespun ; and in-’
deed we much doubt whether their ]>ublic spirit
or their patriotism will carry them so far. Wc
should like to see, just for the fun of the thing, some
of our bucks and sprigs,in “pepper & salt,*’or “cop.
peras stripes”—it would produce a happy effect;this
*,ve conceive, would be a very constitutional mod.; i
of resistance ; and one which instead of producing
any thing like a breach of the Union, would foster
|the resources of our state, without endangering
The peace of the country, and turn the tariff bill
into a blessing to our farmers, rather than an in
jury. Although oui motives may be somewhat
different, y#t we will go as far as the most violent
anti Tariff man, in recommending this measure.
And indeed, mere recommendation seems ttfbe all
that is expected.

FOR THE MERCURY.
Mr. Bartlett —Sir, Through the medium of your
useful paper. I would call the attention of the pro
per authorities, to a collection oi black .and some
tunes white boys in the market, every afternoon,
whose principal diversion is pitching cents and
as it is frequently in acts of gaming, disputes and
strife ensue, whicli cause considerable anoyance to
those who reside in the vicinity, which by no
means comports with our otherwise, well regulated
city. By giving the above a place in your paper
you will oblige
A friend to Peace and good Order.
for the mfrcurj.
Mr. Bartlett,
Over the signature of “ Montgomery,” a writer
in your paper has called the attention of your
readers to the Catholic Association of Ireland.—
Now, Sir, although there is little difference of opi
nion in the United States, as to what would be
justice on the part of the British Government, to
wards the Catholics of Ireland ; yet I would fain
know what we have to do with it ? The Irish Ca
tholic can conic to this country and enjoy his re
ligion without hindrance ; but, if chooses to
stay at home, it is evident, that his situation there
is not so intolerable as some eloquent declaimers,
on this side of the water, would have us believe.
Besides, any stir here, I think, would be likely to
excite the jealousy of a captious government, and
weaken its confidence in the loyalty of Gathojic
Ireland* and thereby retard, rather than forward
emancipation. It, perhaps, is not forgotten, that
about tho time Mr. Emmett was executed, that
such was the mistrust and jealousy of the British
Government towards this country, that it em
ployed confidential agents to sound Mr. King, our
then minister. The measures he took to declare
our neutrality in the affairs of Ireland, have been
censured by many an honest Irishman in this
country.
In the present instance, whilst the same govern
ment exists, no benefit, I think, is likely to result
to the cause of religious freedom in Ireland from
our sympathetic addresses, or even from pecuniary
aid, if you will have something more substantial
—but injury is almost certain. As to the mode
rate and firm measures of the Catholic Associa
tion, it would be difficult for “ Motgomery ” to tell
on what occasion that Association has been mode
rate ; for the truth is, that it is any thing than
moderate.* Let me ask “ Montgomery ” one sim
ple question, If such an address were either proper
for us, as Citizens of the United States, or could
be of advantage abroad, why has not the Hiber
nian Society of Savannah given the first impulse ?
And, with the same freedom with which I have
asked the question, I answer it, that the members
of that Society are too sensible men to be led
away by such wild chimeras.
It has become lately so fashionable to engage
in crusades, no matter how wild or foreign to our
national interest, that reason is regarded by these
foreign philanthropists as no other than an ice -
berg. The South Americans, the Heathens, the
Greeks, ihe French, the Indian Treaty, the Tariff,
and now the Catholic Association, either have
been, or are hobbies for desperate and design
ing men to ride themselves into public notice,
whilst the common charities of life are disregarded
in their intercourse with their fellow citizens.

RUSSIAN DECLARATION OF WAR.
The long threatened crisis has at length
arrived ; The die is cast ; and the Musco

The R ussian Declaration of War is re-J

acconipuwred, will be found below. We
have not tune to give the declaration, ex
tending to more than two columns. Witt

in Persia, is to advance through the south

only important operation with which the
war is expected io commence. The Rus
sians, it is said would cross the Danube a
hout the same time into Bulgaria, and push
forward as ra : idty as possible, supporting
their main army by a landing near the gulf
Vercna. The State Papers issued on this
occasion possess all that diplomatic tact for
which the Russian cabinet, under Count
Nesselrode, has been always distinguished.
Extraordinary Supplement to the Russian State
Gazette.
Berlin, May 4.
We have received to-day from St. Pe
teshurgh the following official documents:
Manifesto of his majesty the Emperor .
44 By the Grace of God, we Nicholas I., 1
Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias i
&e. &c. The Treaty of Bucharest, con
cluded in the year 1812 with the Ottoman
Porte, after having been for sixteen years
the subject of reiterated disputes, now no
longer subsists, in spi:e of all our exertions
to maintain it, and to preserve it from all
attacks. The Porte, not satisfied with
having destroyed the basis of that Treaty,
how defies'Russia, and prepares to wage
against it a Bcllum ad int/rnecionem ; it
summonses its people in a mass to arms—
accuses Russia of being its in econcilable
enemy, and tramples under foot the conven
tion Aker man, and with that all preced
ing Treaties.
“ Lastly, the Porte does not hesitate to
declare that it accepted the conditions of
•his peace only as a mask to conceal its in
dentions and its preparations for a ne\v war.
Scarcely is this remarkable corfession
made, when the rights of the Russian flag
are violated—-the vessels which it covers
detained—-and the cargoes made the prey
Vfa rapacious and arbitrary government
Our subjects found themselves compelled
to break their oa.h, or to leave without de
lay a hostile country. The Bosphoius is
closed-—our trade annihilated —our south
ern provinces deprived oi the only channel
for the exportation of their produce, are
threatened with incalculable injury. Nay
more! At the moment when the negotia
tions between Russia and Persia are near
ly concluded, a sudden change on the part
of the Persian Government, checks the
course of them. It soon appears that the
Ottoman Porte exert itself to make Persia
waver, by promissing powerful aid ; arm
ing in haste the troops in the adjoining pro
vinces, and preparing to suppoi tby a thre t
---ening attack, this treacherous hostile lan
guage. This is the series of injuries of
which Turkey has been guilty, from the
conclusion of the treaty of Akerman up to
this day, and this is unhappily the fruit ol
the sacrifices and the generous exertions
by which Russia has incessantly endeavor
ed to maintain peace with a neighboring na
tion.
“ But all patience lias its limit. The
honour <f the Russian name—the dignity
of the empire the inviolability of its
rights, and that of our national glory, have
prescribed to us the bounds of it.
“ It is not till after having weighed in
their fullest extent the duties imposed on us
by imperative necessity, and inspired with
the greatest confidence in the justice of our
cause, that we have ordered our army to
advance, under the divine protection, a
gai 11st an enemy who violates the most sa
cred obligations of the law of nations.
“ We are convinced that our faithful sub
jects will join with our prayers the most
ardent wishes, for the success of our enter
prise, and that they w:Il implore the Al
mighty to lend his support tooui brave sol
diers, and to shed his Divine blessing on
our arms, which are destined to defend our
liberty, religion and our beloved country
44 Given at St. Petersburg!!, the 14th
[26ih] April, in the year of our Lord, 1828,
and the third of our reign.
[Signed] ~ NICHOLAS,
[Countersigned the Vice Chancellor.]
COUNT NESSELRODE.”
The Declaration which follows the fore
going Manifesto, enters into a more ample
review of the conduct of the Porte. It re
proaches her with duplicity in signing the
Treaty of Ackerman, which she never in
tended to fulfil. It refers to her inti igues with
Persia—charges her with violating her
pledge to the Servians, and her guarantee to
the provinces of Moldavia &Wallachia. An
amnesty was to he granted so the Servians;
instead of which ihe Tu ks invaded their
territory, and made a dreadful massacre.
The privileges of the Principalities were to
be guaranteed ; instead of which a system
was established of the most sweeping plun
der. The incursions of the Turks inha
biting the left bank of the Kuban were en
couraged. Yet Russia, during all these pro
vocations, only desired to instil moderate
| and just principles into the conduct of the
Porte. She disapproved the enterprise of
Prince Ypsilanti, hut required that the in
nocent should not be confounded with the
guilty. These requisitions were rejected,
and the Christians were made tITe victims of
indiscriminate cruelty and rage.
The patience of the Emperor Alexan
der was weaned, and in October 1825 he
transmitted an energetic remonstrance to
the Porte. His lamented death did not
produce any difference in the moderate po
licy of Russia. His successor trod in the
samo steps ; and instead of taking advantage
of the revolt of the Greeks, endeavored to
mediate between them and the Porte. In
conjunction with his ally England, lie sign
ed the protocol of the 4th of April, and
subsequently in conjunction with England
and France the treaty of the 6th of.iuly
The Emperor appeals to the articles of
that treaty, in proof of the disinterested
nature of his intentions. He speaks of the
breach of faith by the Ottoman General,
which occasioned ihe affair of Navarino.—
His C ourt, even, did not induce him to
abandon his wish for peace. The Mani
testo of ihe 20th December was considered
by him as highly insulting. He therefore
declares war, and states its objects to he
To compel Turkey to pay all the expen
ces of the war, and indemnify his subjects
for all the losses they have sustained.
Ta enforce the due and effectual obser
vance of the treaties which Turkey has vi
olated
To secure the inviolable liberty of the
Black sea, and the free navigation of the
Bosphorus.
He disavows any ambitious design in go
ing to war, and declares his intention to
abide by the treaty of the 6lh July.
Such is the substance of this most im
portant state paper. But while the Em
peror is drawing the sword he points out
the means by which thePoite may yet avert
the blow.

Tuesday, May 13, 1823.
We have had only a moderate supply of ,
Grain from Ireland this week, and the deliveries
from our farmers are very trivial, but the market
has seldom been in a more depressed state, and
some decline upon almost every article in the
trade has been submitted to, since our last cur
rency. There has been a further considerable ar
rival of Flour from the Isle of Man. which conti
nues to depress the market for wheat; but as
these importations will be put a stop to in a few
days, and as our millers and dealers are very light
ly stocked, we mav reasonably expect an fmprov
ed demand.
From the 3d of October, 1826, to the 14th of
May, 181 /, there was imported from Ireland here,
—Wheat 156,846 qrs.; Oats 344.749 qrs.; Barley
19.446 qrs.; Malt 566 qrs.; Beans 2,291 qrs ;
