smx allots* THURSDAY MORYIXG, OCT. 22, 1523- Bv the Delight, Capt. Cooper, we received the Charleston City Gazette one day in anticipation -of the mail. {p-By the John Chevalier, Capt. Sisson, t hours from Charleston, we received the Charles ton Courier of yesterday morning. It i asked what benefit would the People of Georgia derive from the establishment of Manu factures among them ? . u We answer, it would benefit them in a variety of ways. Ist. Manufacturing Establishments, scattered through the State, would create a home market for corn, and ether heavy articles, the produce of the plantation, which will not bear transportation, and consequently raise the price of these articles. 2d. Manufacturing Establishments would raise the value of real estate in their neighborhood. 3d The money whien is sent out of the country, for the purchase of manufactured goods, would be retained at home, to answer the demands of our own circulation. The Establishment of Manufactures woulc 4t*i. Ine a k pur nun oi me cepuai, en terprise and industry of the country from the growing of cotton, which has been carried so far as to become a ruinous business; and thus leave those who continue it a chance of obtaining a bet ter price. ‘sth. Manufactures would add greatly to the po pulation of the State. It is estimated, says a northern paper, that the people of South Carolina consume Ale, Porter and Beer from the Northern states to the amount of $ SO,OOO annually. They are about to establish breweries in Charleston and to decline purchasing ‘those articles from the north. Interesting to the admirers of Music. —We learn that ayonng Italian lady, whose uncommon powers of voice and beautiful execution have cre ated a great sensation in Venice, and who has won the prize of vocal music at several of tho A eademie* of Italy, is soon expected in this countrv Her name is Giula Da Ponte.—.V. Y. Evening Post. Mr. Southey has in the Press, tho story of the “Cock and Hen ; a Spanish romance. Another volume of Mr. Buckingham’s Travels in.the East, and through regions of great general interest, is announced. The Newark, (N. J.) Intelligencer, says, “ our town is sickly, almost beyond example, and we have similar reports from the eountry around ” It is stated in a Fredericksburg paper, that sick ness p.-evails to an unusual degree in that part of the state of Virginia known as the Valley. The county of Shenandoah is said to be peculiarly af flicted. In the village of Luray and the extensive iron works in it3 vicinity, not more than 20 have escaped the attacks of disease, out of a population nf upwards of 700 souls. The violence of the fever, happily, is not commensurate with its ex tension. Os the number sick in the two places just mentioned, the deaths as yet have amounted tol9only. In the village of Strasburg, in the •arae county, the number of sick is reported to be 134. Mr. Southard, the Secretary of the Nary, with his family, left here this morning for Washington., We are gratified to learn that his health is suffi ciently improved to enable him to resume tho du ties of his otfice. — Balt. Pat. Oct. 9, Experience has shewn that marble is much tr.cre durable than granite Fragments of co- 1 lumns of beautiful granular raaible are found in Europe, which after two thousand years’ expo sure to the elements, retain all the brilliancy and fteshness of a specimen recently taken from a na tural quarry. A late Napsau paper says: “ From Havana we hear much of the extent to which the slave trade is still carried on there. It is said that one vessel lately landed upwards of nine hundred on the coast of Cuba, and that one now fitting out is of considerable force, and is intended to carry 1500 slaves—that some of these vessels overpower Por guese and other slave traders, and rob them of their slaves, on the coast of Africa, or when meet ing them on the passage to Brazil.” The northern ports of France have been open ed, and from the unfavorable reports of the crops in the interior, it is expected Marseilles will also be opened. French Wheat,, as well as foreign, in bond, have risen considerably. American Rice will probably be in demand, if the war should continue. Sumac has advanced and is in demand. Important !—The last London Gentlemen’s Magazine of Fashion says : A letter from a man of fashion, though it may be but a simple invita tion, is doubled and folded square, and is put un der cover. His pocketbook is the size of a duode cimo Volume, and is of purple morocco, with a gold clasp. When any one asks of him the time of day, he takes his watch out of one of his side “pockets; it has neither chain nor string.” Our exquisites will please to take notice, and act ac cordingly.—Alexandria Gazette. A Tumble. —On Wednesday night, one of our apprentice boys, 12 years old, took it into his head to tumble from the fourth story of the office thro* i a series of open trap door# to the first floor, j Strange as it may appear, not a bone was broken, * and although somewhat bruised, he is comfortable to-day. When he commenced his descent he fell head foremost, but he landed on his feet, and bounced up like a cork. In reply to ©no of ur (I nwus, ne said tnat when he found himself fall ing headforemost he was afraid he would be kill ed, and therefore he made a jump and caught the fall rope, which righted him. Let us hear no more of Sam Patch's jumping after this.—JV*. Y. i Morning Courier. From the Albany Advertiser. (iron Villainy. —The public know that the Derby Bank failed long ago. Yester day, in Pearl street, a countryman who hnd chesnuts to sell, was accosted by a sharper, and a bargain was struck for a dol lar s worth. Th sharper handed him a five dollar bill of the Derby bank, and the countryman, without examining it minute ly, took it and gave four dollars good mon ey in change. The fellow said he would send for the chesnuts in a few minutes, went off, and has not been seen since. The following is the form of the bill:— “The Detby Bank promises to pay at the ■Fulton Bank, in the city of New York, five dollars,” See. From the rqanner in which the words in italic #, are paraded, a person without close examination, would suppose that it was a bill of the Fulton Bank in New York, and thus the man who sold the chesnuts, was deceived. By thefiae sebr. Jane, at Charleston. Nw York, Oct. 14. Latest from Colombia. —Our Corres pondent at Garthagenia has furnished, us with the “Gaceta” t q the 14tli of Sept.; hnd we have been obliged to a friend for tbe loan of another to the same date, alio ceived by the brig Athenian. , The last number of this paper contains the Organic Decree of Bolivar, signed by him at Bogota, on the 27th of August, by which he invests himself with most of the powers heretofore assigned to the Congress, and thus secured to the people while the constitution was in existence. He makes provision for the calling of another conven tion, but .postpones it to the 2d oi January, TS3O, before which he may accomplish mighty projects lor himself, if, as it is feared, he entertains them. Not having room to insert this decree at full length, we shall give an abbreviate view of its important provisions. The preamble exhibits the following as the rea sons by which he has been actuated iu es tablishing this arbitrary government in a country recently under a republican sys tem. That a convention having been call ed by congress, in obedience to the general wish of the country, ana having declared, in conform!* v ve\tU public \ oice, the iricompeienCV ot the constitution, but hav ing dissolved without being able tt> effect the desired reformation; and whereas the reople have placed their oountry in his hands, that he might save it from anarchy, and whereas it is not lawful for him to abandon her; he has determined to exer cise the Supreme power as Liberator Pres ident, and publishes the Organic Decree. The Ist section relates to the “Supreme Power, 1 to whom it provides, shall belong; “Ist. To establish and preserve internal order and tranquility, and to secure the slate against external attack; 2d. To com mand the land and sea forces; 3d To di- rect diplomatic negotiations, to declare war, form treaties of peace and friendship, alli ance, neutrality, commerce, &c. with for eign governments; 4th Appoint to ail of ficers of the Republick, or to remove or snbstitute any officers at pleasure; sth. j To give necessary decrees and regulations of any nature whatever, and to al(er, re form, or abrogate established laws;” 6th. To provide for the execution of the law#; 7th, To c nduct with caie the revenue; Bth, To have justice administered; 9th,*To approve or alter the sentences of councils of war and courts martial in criminal causes against officers of the army and navv; 10th, To commute capital punishments, with the advice of the council of state ansltlm courts; lit!), To grant particular armistices and pardons, with the consent of the council of state; 12th, To grant letters of marque and reprisal ; 13th, 11 In short, *to do eve ry thing as the supreme power ; 14th, To preside in the council of state when he ploases; 13th, To be assisted by a council of ministers. i The 3d section relates to the Ministry of State, and the council of Ministers.-! The latter is to be composed of a Presi dent and the Ministers of State, who is dis tributed into the six departments of Gov ernment, Justice, War the Navy, Treasury and Foreign Relations, to be created, like ; every thing else hereafter in Colombia, ‘‘by a decree ” They are liable to be • judged, for failure in their duty, by a court “authorized by another decreo; 1 so that if Bolivar does not choose to punish those of his creatures who displease him, his other creatures will do it. ‘ The Council of State will consist of the President of the council of minister, the Secretaries of State, and at least one coun cilor for each existing department of the Republic. Its powers are confined to giving opinions, recommending officers, &c. Tlte 4th section divides the Republic into prefectures, under prefects the agents of the Supreme Power, with powers and duties like those of intendants. Intenden cies are suppressed, and Governors are to be appointed to the provinces. The sth section relates to courts; and j tlie 6ih, under “General Arrangements, 11 declares that all Colombians in the eye of the law are equally capable to serve in any office, fcc ; that individual liberty is guar anteed; but that the police may make ar rests for slate offices, fyc. without formality; that the liberty of the press is to be res trained only to prevent abuses; that prop erty is inviolable; no lawful business is for bidden to any; petitioning is allowed; and the Catholic Religion will be protected by the government The duties ofColom. bians are enumerated, almost as if in con tempt for the rights of self government, and creating their own officers, which have been thus sacrificed Their duties are comprised iD these few words: “To live subject to the government, and obey the laws, decrees, regulations and instructions ot the Supreme power, and see that they are obeyed; respect and obey the authori ties, contribute to public expences in proportion to their property, serve the country, and be ready to defend it, even o the sacrifice of repose, property, and life, if necessary.” Bolivar, in some degree, however, still professes something of his former feelings with regard to the supreme command. In a Proclamation he declares, (what we do not believe,) that he has been placed in this situation by the public wish ; arid, saying that he will secure public credit,concludes in these words : 44 Finally, I will hold the supreme power only until you order me to lay it down ; and jf you do not make other determinations sooner, within a year I will convoke the National Convention. Co lombians ! I will say nothing to you of li berty ; for if J accomplish my promises, you will be more than free; you will be respected ; besides, under a Dictatorship who can speak of Liberty ? Let us feel tor each other ; the people who obey, and the man who RULES ALONE Bogo ta, Aug. 27th, 1828. T .us new system of government was pro mulgated in artliagena • tlie 12th Sept. May it l)e as beneficial as Bolivar promises an d as short lived. He may yet, if he pleases, use his power for tho public good, and again renounce it ; we ardently wish it may be his intention. ------ There is nothing respecting the war with Tern, which had not -commenced* The tax on trading licences was sus pended, on the 20th of August, as far as it relates to wholesale dealers and some re tailers, who are to pay an alcabala of 4 per cfent. on sales and contracts. The Car tbagena paper predicts that this measure, so favorable to commerce, is it but an earnest of improvements to be effected in other departments. General Mdntilla has bofcn made Chief of the Departments of Zulin, Magdalena, and the Isthmus. We have before us in the Bogata Gaceta de Colombia , of the 26th July, a long man ifesto of the Government of Colombia, (that is Bolivar’s ) detailing the reasons of the Government for making war on Peru. It is far from being conclusive, and excites chiefly wonder or pity for the infatuation of the new States which waste their resour ces in bloody strife with each other, when every consideration of wisdom or safety points to uuionand harmony—when almost ’every thing remain* to bo done for their in ternal organization and health. The same paper contains an address of General San tander, in which he shews how little free dom of action or opinion was suffered in any member of the convention of Ocana. Nat. Gaz. Commercially Important. —A friend handed us for publication, the following letter from his correspondent, at Liver pool, from which it will be seen that the new Custom House Laws have gone into effect in England, and tho very serious in jury that will be jlone to our commerce with Great Britain, unless prompt meas ures are taken by our governmet to avoid the consequences. As the law now stands, it is an indirect violation of the existing treaties between the two Governments, which calls for immediate notice from our Cabinet. We can scarcely conceive it possible that the British Government in tended to give such an operation to the new law, and we have no doubt it will be modified on a proper representation. As the writer of the annexed letter very prop erly observes, there is an end to all com mercial intercourse between the two coun tries, if the law be not repealed.— New York Guze ls LrvFRPOOL, Sept, 8. Messrs. Paterson dp Smith. Gentlemen Since my letter of 24th ult. accompanying a collation of the du ties payable under the new act regulating the duties of Customs, upon goods impor ted from Lritish Possessions , and the du ties payable upon the same goods when imported direct from the place of produc tion, but in a ship of the countrv whence the goods are imported, one case has oc cured at this port, aad so far as that may be considered as authority, confirms the view I have taken of the new law. A British vessel arrived from Halifax, about ten days ago with 20 bales of cotJ ton on board, which was part of the cargo of the , bound from N. Orleans to this port, and cast away upon Sable Island, in —— last. There can lie no qnestion of the cotton being the growth of the United States. It was admitted to an entry here under the new law to “amend tho laws re lating to the Customs,“upon the payment of four pence per cwt. duty. Subsequent to to this entry the Silas Richards arrived from New York, with a lot of cotton as signed to some of m}’ friends. A tender was made under the stipulations of the Convention of Commerce, considered in a former letter, of an entry of this cotton at the Custom House at the same duty, 4d per cwt. as was paid upon the American Cotton imported via. Halifix,and refused by the collector upon the ground that it was not imported from a British possession, and therefore did not fall within tbe re quirements of the Statute. He remarked, that it was no part of his duty under the new law to inquire of what growth the cotton was. It was sufficient autlmritv for him to admit its entry at the reduced duty of 4d. per cwt. if it was imported into Liv erpool from British Possession. No doubt tbe collector was perfectly right according to that law. The cotton was entered and the old duty of six per cent, ad valorem, was paid. Although the decision of the collector of this port is just as I supposed it would be, I do not, by any means, regard it as the decision of Government A memorial will probably be sent up to the Lords of the Treasury, petitioning for a return of the extra duties beyond the 4d. per cwt, and a duplicate to the American Minister, Mr. Barbour. The question will thus come fairly before the Government to reverse or confirm the decision of the col lector. If the former, all is well, if the latter, there is an end to all commerce with this country instanter. Common sense and honest feeling will demand it. 1 hat the United States can ever consent that its own produce, under any circum stances, shall be imported into Great Britain at a less duty in a British ship, than m an Imerican ship, is utterly incredible Nor can I as yet believe that the Govern ment of this country sincerely intended any such thing, law does express it. The law altogether seems ill dijested, and to have been the work ofa right down theoretical bungler. I am therefore, looking with the deepest anxiety for explanation. Yours, truly, JAMES SMITH. New York, Oct. 11.— Meeting of the y Merchants. —Pursuant to public notice a meeting of Merchants opposed to the auc tion System was held last evening, at Ma sonic Hall—Henry J. VVyckoff in the chair. The Hall was crowded to excess. A com mittee, appointed last Spring, presented an elaborate report ; sundry spirited resolu tions were offered and adopted ; a Con eressional ticket was agreed upon ; and a memorial to Congress in favor of a duty on auction sales was adopted. It is supposed that the meeting comprised at least 2500 voters ; and the Congressional ticket adopt ed consists of Messrs Walter Lowne, D. B. Ogden, and Campbell P. White. New York , Oct. 14 —Serious dissen tions exist in England among the Method ists. The difficulty commenced at Leeds, j The members frequenting Chapel in that town determined to erect an which was objected to as a departure from the original simplicity of the doctrines and observances prescribed by the founder of their religion, John Wesley The dispute w£s laid before a conference in London, and a decision was made against having music Those desirous of having music have refused to abide by the decision, and are now building an organ. They have also formed themselves into a distinct re ligious body under the designation of the “Wesleyan Protestant Methodists.” Tbe seceders in Leeds afone amount to two thousand. On Saturday last, in the Circuit Court, the jury returned a verdict of guilty against Seth Hunt, in the case of Jonathan Rus sell. The charge made by Mr. Hunt *a gainst Mr. Russell, appeared in the States man in 1822, & was to the following effect; That while Mr Russell was at Ghent, ns onj of the American Commissioners, he entered nto a secret arrangement with a mercantile house in London, to furnish in* formation to enable that house to speculate on the probability of war or pea’be.

Several hundred tons of coal bavo now been raised from the mine near Worcester and even the most sceptical are said to be losing their doubts with re gard to its value. It burns well, as is proved by experiment ; and is expected to prove a valuable article for transporta tion. Buffalo Harbour has been rendered se cure against an accumulation of sand, by the partly completed works planned for that object. The plan is different from the former ones - cribs of 16 feet are filled with stone, as before, with piles on either side at intervals of seven feet. On the other side of the pier, a declining bank is made of loose stones, against which the waves roll, wasting their force and depositing sand in the mass. The bank is 14 feet higher than the towing path, and of course protects it. The length of the work will be 1500 feet ; 692 feet are fines, for 1200 plies have i been used, and nearly 25,000 feet of square i timber. The remainder of the work will be in deeper water. Late English papers inform us, that duke Bernard, of Saxe Weimar, has been ap pointed Governor General of the Dutch East India possessions. M. de Melay,: Governor General of the French East In- J dia possessions has sailed for India from Brest, in the corvette Zelia, of 18 guns. Accompanying the latter is a distinguished French Naturalist, charged by government with a scientific examination of tlie coun try, and the chain of mountains near Ma labar. Hayti Trade. —The Morning Courier publishes an extract of a letter dated Port au Prince, September 24th, which says a law has passed, by which all goods going to that country, after Ist Jannary, 1829, will be chargeable in account sales, with 17 1-2 per cent, import duty, instead fl 6 per cent, if foreign, and 8 1-2 if Haytien. Markets very dull for American produce. The Provision market at present offers but poor encouragement for shipments from the United States. The Dengue Fever is raging here, and seems to pervade every family. Another letter says, “ this law*is called the consignment duty, &c.; after the Ist January next, the duty will be 17 1-2 per cent, instead ol 16 per cent HOW EXTRAORDINARY! Mr. Ld tor : Please to inform your country friends, who are waiting to have the manufactures of England get lower before they start for the city, to make their Fall purchases, that Manchester printed and other goods, are as low as at this time last year . Scotch ditto, the same. Yorkshire cloths, <fce. rather lower than last seasou; indeed, as cheap as within two years past. BirmingJiam and Sheffield goods lower from 5 to 10 per cent, than last year. Staffordshire earthenware and glass wares, at least 5 per cent, less than last year. The market is getting full of these two leading articles. Am ] Spinning Jenny. Vandalia, (Illinois) Aug. 3. The town of Galena, at the Lead Mines in this State, was commenced in 1825. We learn from the Journal, printed at that place, that it now has a population of near seven hundred. There are forty two stores and warehouses; twenty two porter cellars and groceries; a goodly number of lawyers and physicians; and a general assortment of mechanics, &c. The number of dwelling houses and stores is 195, aud 46 new build ings are going up. There have been 75 steam boat and 33 keel boat arrived since the last of March. About eight million pounds of lead were exported during the year ending Ist of June last. The popu lation in the*neighborhood of the Mines is estimated at 10,000.
