It is possible we may have judged too harshly of the transaction. But ot this, let the public judge. It is not our intention to do any injustice to Mr. Wilde; for we entertain no unfriendly feelinga towards him. If his conduct can be justified, let it be so. If it cannot, it ought, not to be overlooked because ho stands high* in the community. Mr. W r ildvi states in his memorial— “ That a vessel called the Antelope, or General Ramirez, together with a number of Africans on board, were captured by a Revenue Officer of the United State,*, and brought into the port of Savannah for adj udication. The vessel and car go being libelled, were claimed in behalf of Span ish and Portuguese owners, by the Consuls of their respective nations, and such proceedings had, that a large number of Africans were ulti mately adjudged to the United States to be dis posed of according to law, as may be seen by the record of the case in the Supreme Court remain ing, and the report thereof, iu the 10th, 11th; and 12*h vols. of Wheaton’s Reports. But it also appeal s thereby, that thirty-nine of the Africans therein mentioned were finally de creed to be slaves the property of the Spanish claimants, piratically taken from them on the high sons, by a pretended South American Privateer, and as such ordered :to be restored to them, they paying salvage to C;apt. Jackson, of fifty dollars per head, the charges of the Marshal for the main tenance, clothing, sale keeping &c. of the Africans amounting to six thou sand three hundred and forty seven dollars, the costa of Court and bills of Proc tors m the cause amounting to —; and more over giving bond with security, to export the said negroes out of the United States. That the said Africa! is having been in the State of Georgia, under th ’ charge of the Mar shal of that District; by order of the United States Circuit Court, for more than eight years, have formed connexions by marriage, and many of them have children, from -whom, if sent out of the country.they must be separated, as their wives and children are property 0 f other persons than the Spanish claimants. * That, in November, 1827., an Agent from the Spanish owners, ( uesta. Ma nzanal and Brother, arrived in Savannah, bearing full powers to a res pectable merchant of that city, to receive the said slaves for the said owners, pursuant to the Decree, paying the charges and giving the bonds aforesaid, and immediately to transport them to the Island of Cuba, the Agent being authorized to engage a ves.-el for that purpose. Your petitioner, tlieu in Savannah, being ap prized of the repugnance of tb e people to depart from a country, to the langu age and habits of which they were accustomed where easy labor v\as imposed and kind treatment received, and struck with the cruelty of seoa rating them from their wives and children, to sotul them into slave ry in a Spanish Colony, rc solved, if possible though with some risk and trouble to himself, to afford thorn a chance of becoming free, or at least of suffering servitude only iu t hat mitigated form already familiar to them, in a state of society to which they had become reconct’ed, and in the bo som of their families. For this purpose he became the purchaser of the Spanish interest, satisfied the Ma rshal’s bill and all other legal charges, as will appear by the prop er vouchers, and entered into the necessary bonds, to transport them out of the Unito 1 States within the * irne limited. lie has since, in order that they might be sent as free men to Liberia, made ail offer of the said Aincans, to the Colonization Soc iety, for the mo ney actually paid to him by tho Spanish owners and tho charges aforesaid, as tax* and by tho Circuit Court, without interest of any addition whatever, tor the troubie and expenses of ya ur petitioner in their behalf.” Mr. Wilde here holds out the idt a to Congress, that his sole object in making the purchase, was to prevent the Africans who had for med connec tions in this country, from being separated from their wives and children. The memo!rial was fa vorably received, and the bond, which had been given in conformity with the requisite ns of court, was cancelled. Now will Mr. Wildo step for ward, and tell candidly and frankly, wh at became of these Africans, and where they now are? Are they residing with their families as the memorial intends to convey an idea that they should in case the bond were cancelled? Or have not a part been sold and a part been removed to was not, indeed, Mr. Wilde in Florida, making arrangements for the settlement of these Africans there, at the very moment his memorial wan being read in Congress? If so, what became a f those tender ties, formed during a residence of eight years in Georgia? where the wives and children? do they not remain in Bryan county, and hav e not the husbands, the fathers, been carried to Florida? Among the tlfrty nine Africans awarded to the Spanish claimants, there was but one fern ale The balance were males; they had, according to Mr. Wilda’s account, married and got children; vet the wives and children remain with their for mer owners. There are other facts connected with the trans. action, which we shall take another opportunity of presenting to the public. From the facts which we presented to the pub lic in our last paper, we drew an inference unfa vorable to Mr. Wilde. The negroes were sold b/ the Spanish claimants for a small consideration. The bond requiring them to be conveyed beyond the limits of the United States, rendered them nearly valueless. Mr. Wilde became the purchas er ; and then, taking advantage of his official sta tion as a member of Congress, lie procured the passage of a law cancelling that bond. This ap peared to us to be a course to which a high-minded man would not have stooped. It was prostituting the dignity of public legislation, to the purposes of private thrift. And further, in order to induce Congress to cancel that bond, he pretended to be actuated by feelings of humanity ; when, in fict, his motives were altogether mercenary. He stated in his memorial, that his soie object in at iking the purchase, was, to prevent a separation of .these Africans from their wives and children , who.' l he had, at the same moment, already sepa parat >d them from their wives and children, and re mo* sd thorn to Florida, Having imposed upon THE ARCUS. SAVANNAH , THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2, 1823. Congress with the sweet sounding terms ofijbene volcnce, humanity, gen*os : fftCTavvTthe bond given to remove them out of the United States was cancelled j some of the Africans were sold to pay expenses, &c. and others were settled on the plantations of a convenient friend in Florida It was for the course Mr. Wilde chose to adopt in this transaction that we cousidered him amena- ! ble to the censure of the press. We have the facts from what we conceive to be good authority. We have never heard them denied. Will Mr Wilde’s friends undertake to justify them ? FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY.

The New-York City Inspector reports the deaths of 127 persons, for the week ending the 13th of which 24 were of consumption. Very little is known of the state of the Jews du ring some centuries after the destruction of Jeru salem.—The first body of them which drew any attention, was that which settled in Spain, from which all Jewish learning descends. The celebration of the two hundredth Anniver sary of the first settlement of Salem, Mass, took place on the 18th inst. A procession was formed headed by the Historical Society after which reli {rious ceremonies were held, and a Discourse de ivered by Judge Story. Canal. —The Erie canal is navigable clear through. On Saturday, there arrived at Albany 41 boats , and 30 cleared. The northern canal is not yet repaired. A wine merchant once left a suspected assistant in his cellar,and said to him,“Now jest you should drink the wine while I am away, I will chalk your mouth, so that I may know it He then rubbed his nails across the man’s lips, and pretended to leave the mark of the chalk on them. The man drank of the wine,and to be even with hi3 master chalked his mouth and thus discovered himself. A person who has been at the pains to ascertain the fact, states, that of the persons who entered a celebrated gin-shop in Westminister,within a giv en time, the women were in proportion of 19 to 1. Indigo. —lsaac Dunbar, a planter of Mississppi, has succeeded in cultivating the indigo plant to such an extent, that he has this year made 1000 of 1500 lbs. of Indigo equal to the Bengal. Shocking Accident.—On Saturday evening,29th ult. a man by tho name of David Hicks, aged a bout 40. and addicted to intemperance, retired to sleep on a haymow in the barn of Mr. Neri Rod gers of Auburn. In the morning he was found dead on the floor, having fallen from the mow and dashed in his skull ! The coroner’s jury who in vestigated the ease, returned a verdict of acciden tal death. The lion. War. C. Jarvis, late Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, has been appointed Inspector of the Customs for the District of Boston and Charlestown, in the place of Amasa Penniman, deceased. The London Morning Chronicle concludes an article on the subject of the peculations of a clerk in one of the Magistrates offices in that city, who 1 was badly paid, with the following paragraph: “The Americans pay their custom-house officers and tide waiters well, knowing that it requires very lit*] 3 casuisty to persuade a man who is not paid fairly to pay himself unfairly. There is. in this country but too strong a disposition to escape from tha responsibility of what is positively wrong by the subterfuge of personal ignorance ot it, tho’ such ignorance implies an opaqueness ct intellect seldom found where men have not an interest in shutting their eyes.” A distemper has just broke among the horses in Kings county, called the “blind staggers.” We are told though, we can hardly credit the report, that on Saturday no less than one hundred died in two townships. The same disease is said to have made its appearance cn Staten Island. If such a distemper should once seize upon the horses in this city, it would destroy a great amount of pro perty, and distress many who depend upon ahorse for their income. —Journal of Commerce. India Rubber. —This duiable and higly elastic material is now employed to a considerable extent in the sheathing of vessels. A thin lamina is stain ed over the surface of the wood, and effectually protects it from shell fish. The India rubber cot ton cloth has long been celebrated as an imper vious covering for roofs, awnings, and travelling cloaks. Sumac grows spontaneously in Virginia, and has been treated as a weed, but this year it has been collected by women and children, and sold for ’ use to dye “morocco leather.” The leaves sell | for from $1 to 2 per cwt.—and the season forgath • ering is long. Thousands of dollars have been j paid the past summer for the article.

They were found ; guilty by the jury, and both sentenced to death. It is said, in some of the London papers, that the !

Gallatin, one of the Commissioners of the Eastern Boundary, is now in this city. Judge Pmtbi.ls, our other Commissioner, it is probable, will also visit this city, and it is possible, perhaos that there may be a conference with the British Coimmissioners at the place. It would he a happy result if the affair could be settled without a voy age to Europe, and the submission of the subject to a sot eign umpire. If it takes the last course it is not likely the Commissioners can embark till the spring. j Anti-Unionists are in politicks what Atheists are in leligion-their object is destruction without offering & substitute for what they destroy, v [Mississippi Galaxy.

The trnißM'** doff® fn'Coiton la?.t wetk was etf tensive, amounting to wtVs of winch 19,- 000 w*ere American cotton. The import 2i,U00, of which 19,000 were from the United Slates.-- The demand however was lully met by tiie hol ders, and the prices could scarcely be said to be maintained. During the present week, the mar ket has been heavy and inactive, and wo mutt quote a decline of l-Bd, especially in the lower qualities of American cottons. The total sales are only 9780 bags, of which 9300 are American, while the import has been 11300, of which 9800 are from the United States. The total supply of American cotton into the kingdom, is now nearly 350,000 bags, and the deficiency as compared witr* that of last pear, will no doubt increase as the sea son proceeds, yet there has seemed latterly among the holders, a more general disposition to sell, ana this will perhaps continue to be the case, so long as the accounts from your side about the growing crop are so favourable. Flour has met with a more extensive sale again for export, chiefly to the West Indies, 25s has been obtained for Philadelphia, and 245. 9d. for New-York, and for the latter 3os. begins now ta be demanded, and will probably be obtained, if but little come in soon. Tho weather here ibr soma days past has assumed a more settled appearance, and at the present moment is very favourable for our harvest, which is now proceedieg rapidly in almost all parts of the country, but there is much at risk yet, and until the whole is completed v. a shall defer giving any decided opinion as to tho probable produce of our crops.
