MONDAY MORNING, NOV. 17, IS2B. FROM MILLEDGEVILLE. Notice was given in the House of Representa •.iveson the 4th, that the appointment of a com mittee would be moved for, to prepare and report a bill to reduce the fees of the public officers of this state. r i his is a standing motion—a kind of popularity t rap—made at least as oilen as once every ses sion—and the bill, when reported, generally ex tends to the reduction of the fees of the justice of the peace, some six and a quarter cents, for an affidavit, &c.—to the great saving of the state and the exultation of the people. The bill is al ways defeated, however, by the proposition of some downright patriot, to include a reduction of the pay of the members themselves, with that of the other officers. As the economy of the reform ers does not extend to an interference with their qvvn interests, the important measure is abandon ed. One great end, however, is obtained. The active mover of the economical bill has gained a strong ground to electioneer upon at the nex campaign. Notice has also been given for the appointment of a committee to leport a bill to repeal the penal ‘ code, so far as relates to penitentiary confinement’ ! There is a very extensive prejudice against the ‘ whole penitentiary system, among the people of the state, and we believe the dislike towards it is increasing amrtialfy. Indeed such is the state of public opinion, that it seems evident the system must be radically reformed or abandoned. Under its present operation, it is urged, that the insti-i titution is a heavy tax on the state ; that it has entirely failed as a means of reforming criminals ; ‘ i but, on the contrary, that it is rather a school of vice and infamy ; a place where individuals re- ; ceive new lessons in crime, and become hardened ; in the ways of iniquity, and that the supposed hu manity of the system is but a poor recompenco for these positive evils. Indeed, it is urged that the humanity of the sys tem is rather seeming than real. The feelings of the community revolt at tire idea of corporal punishment. And vve substitute penitentiary con finement for whippings and brandings. But what is the consequence. The convict is sent to the penitentiary—placed in the power of petty ty rants, whoaie peimitted by law’ to flog them with the cow kin on the nacked hack, every hour in the da . if in their discretion, or their passion, the miserable wretch should chance to deserve it.— Such discipline is not of rare occurrence. Con victs have been cnppled for life by the severity of their punishments. The humanity of the penitentiary system is al together in thw uaiuo. There is nothing of tin kind in the operation of it, as organised in this stale. Rv the ship HHenr i Capt. Moofiv, we have re ceived the New York papers of the 10th. The information in regard to the election is in definite. Tlie Mercantile Advertiser says, “The actual returns have yet been received from but 15 or 10 of the districts These, with partial re turns from 6 or 7 other districts, render it doubt ful in the opinion of gentlemen, on both sides of the question, which of the parties have obtained the majority”. The New-York Enquirer, (which, by the way, we do not consider the best authority in matters of fact) says: “We subjoin election returns and extracts of letters, from which, it will be observed, that Jack son lias a majority ot votes. We say, has a majo- j rity, because from tho returns already received, j v/o have sixteen electoral votes, and we have yet to hear from eight or ten districts, which undoubt ed! v will give us tho twenty votes claimed—pro bably more. “ The returns from some of the districts, wo Confess, have disappointed us. Some that wo be lieved were doubtful, have gone for us; others, that we considered as decided for Jacksou, have ; gone against us. ! “On Saturday, the A darns men were in high spirits at the partial returns, and there were ru mors that the Anti-masonic party had joined the I administration, and that Van Buren was running • heavily, and other discouraging accounts, which , the news of yesterday's mail entirely altered.” From Colombia.—The Mercantile Advertiser ‘ of the 10th contains the following from Colombia. . The packet brig Tampico, arrived at this port: oa Saturday, from Carthagcna, having sailed on the 18th ult.

Wc arc indebted to Mr. Burrows, owner of the packet, for a Bogota paper containing the particu lars of this occurrence. I The private letters assert, that Santander and Padilla were at the head of the conspiracy—that their object, besides the death of Bolivar, was the rclcvation of the former to the Presidency. A j great many arrests, and some executions had al- | cadv taken place. A letter from Carthagena of the 13th ult says, tt x \ f ew persons here have been arrested and im prisoned on suspicion of having been concerned in the conspiracy ” Avery respectable foreigner at Bogota, writes, under date of Sept. 28th “I am afraid the party against the government is very numerous and in creasin'* throughout the country.

Our dispositions to receive our implacable enemies were the best pos sible, but they did not disembark in front of the city. They landed in Manchico, 25 miles from the citv, a place commanded by major Brito and major Salgado, who both sold themsolves to the rebels. r I hey marched immediately upon the city, and those that were able to reach the Eng lish man ot were the only persons who es caped. Tho new Governor is the tyrant Jose Maria Monterio, and the new magistrates have commenced their w T ork of destruction.

The Baron ae St. Denis, agent of France to the Greek Govern ment, arrived at Egina on tho l()th August.” The young Queen of Portugal is said to be a remarkably well-informed child.

By the Biitanuiwo received die For eign Quarterly Review, No. IV. for Sep tember 1< 28. In contains, among other interesting matter, an article under the ge fipr il title of “ Bw At^ gives a interesting account of the state •f the countries, particularly in relation to the war now carrying on between them. The author says, that he possesses some personal acquaintance with European Tur key, and the character of the Moslem? ; and his object is to consider the subject ns it regards the probable issue of the war— the consequences which may result from it —and the policy which the other European States, particularly France and England, would be warranted in adopting. Under the first head, Lo says, the mili tary strength of Russia has been estimated at from 800,000 to 1,000,000 men Both are too large. A gentleman who has served many years in their armies has informed I him, that 600,000 is ihe full amount. There I are, however, materials among ihe peasants, and in the military colonies, for a much larger force. . Os ihose 600,000, so many are necessary j for tho defence of their extended frontier, j that two thirds are not available at anv one time for foreign service. At present, between 2 0,000 and 300,000, are said to be onttth# theatieof war What has Tur key to oppose to it I The reviewer says, it has been the fash ion lately to underrate the military strength of tl e Ottomans; this be considers as com ing from the partizms of Greece, and Rus sia the.supposed champion of Gr ciau in dependence :—of course such statements are to be received with caution Before the present war broke out, it was confident ly asserted that, after providing fol the gar risons in Syria, Asia Minor, and Constan tinople, the disposable force to meet the Russians would not exceed 30,000 men. The fact, however, is, that they have near ly four times that number in the fortresses north of the Balkan mountains; and he says, from personal observation, he knows that about 200,000 are training in the capi tal, and at Adt ianople, besides numbers on their way to Constantinople from Syria and Asia Minor. He concludes, upon file whole, that the whole force may he estimated at 350,000. Should the Russians penetrate to the capital, they will be opposed by a countless multitude, headed by the Sultan in person, and under the sacred standard of Mahomet. But though the belligerents are so nearly j balanced in numbers the advantages of material,and discipline, are greatly on the ] side of the Russians. At the same time, the Turks are as brave as any people on the earth, and are animated by patriotism, religions fervour, ari invincible belief in predestination and the promised paradise; ind yet, when contrasted with the disciplin ed soldiers of Russia, they are mere school boy learners in the Christian’s mode of fighting. The reviewer considers it a great misfor tune to the Grand Seignior, that he has been compelled to draw the sword, before le had sufficient time to carry his great dans into effect. If he could have re mained at peace a few years longer, disci lin and his troops, augmented his artillery, *nd procured another fleet, all the power of Russia rouid not have been able to shake iie stability of his throne The principal obstacle of an invading niy in the reviewer’s opinion is the range of mountains* which divide Bulgaria from Rumelia, called the Balkau Mountain.— Beyond this theßussians have not been able hitherto to pass. These mountain vary from 30 to ninety miles in breadth through which there are only three passes at all calculated for tire passage of an army.—- Each of these presents the greatest difficul ties to the transportation of artillery and commissary supplies. Os these he has traversed only one, and that leads from Si lisljffii, through Shumia and Carnahat, to Atftianople. The distance from Shumia tW Carnahat is about 75 miles, and is a series of obstacle-*, where a handful of men may very greatly annoy an invading enemy. Pmm Carnahat to Adrlanople, about 70 miles, the country presents many points of defence Bad as the roads are through these defiles, light artillery may be carried over them in time of peace,—the Sultan having transported two hundred pieces for the de fence of Shumia, before hostilities com menced. In time of war, it would be e tremely d'.flerent, as the progress of the in vading troops would be disputed at every turn, precipice, and pass, by the defenders of the Moslem throne. Il Russia sends heavy cannon to batter Constantinople, they must go by water to Varna, and from thence to the capital. Although Shumia is not strong like some modern fortresses, it has thus far been suffi cient to check the progress of their enemies from that quarter. The character of the Turk is in nothing more remarkable, than the courage, skill, and success with which they defeud their fortresses and camps.— In addition to minor difficulties, Nicholas has before him the Balkan, Shu la, and Varna Shumia is the land, and Varna the sea key of Rmneha, After having occu pied Bulgaria for six or seven years, in 1810 they attacked Shumia, from which they precipitately retreated beyond the Danube, the Pacha wrote to the Sublime Porte, that he had cut off as many Russian heads, as would form a bridge to the moon. Varna, though not naturally so well situat ed, is artificially stronger than Shumia, and cannot be taken without a combined attack both by sea and land. Should the Russians gain the strong pla ces north of the Balkan, they will probably penetrate in three divisions bv the passes mentioned. This movement from Varna, Shumia, and ’Zernova, on Adiiaffiople, could not, from the natute of the country, be ac eonndished in less than a lortmgn*, and from the determined opposition of the Turks, would probably occupy a longer period of arduous struggle ; yet they may eventually carry every height, and rush down on Ru melia. From such considerations the reviewer thinks, that unless the Russians speedily obtain possesion of the Balkan, they will not attempt to penetrate the mountains this campaign. Holding the keys during tho winter, they will be able to augment their forces and supplies, and prepare for anew campaign. From the N. Y. Daily Advertiser. It would seem, if the rumours in Lon don were to be relied upon, that the com plicated system of measures adopted and pursued by the allied powers in relation to Greece and Turkey,.had begun to disclose some pretty serious difficulties, The Al lies, acting together under the treaty of July 6di, 1827, having for its sole object the adjustment of the controversy between Turkey and Greece, of course could take no hostile part in tlie war between Russia and Turkey. Tbis placed the two latter powers in a singular, and embarrassing situation. On the side next the Mediter ranean, Russia could only act in conjunc tion with England and France, whose op erations must of course be confined to the single object of the treaty, viz: the settle ment of the affairs of Greece. The Grand Seignior, having therefore nothing to fear from the hostility of Russia on that side, Ins been at liberty to withdraw from that quarter just as much of his military force as he chose, and semi it to the opposite side of his territory, to aid in repelling the Russian invasion, where the two powers are carrying on the war single handed. A division on the Mediterranean quarter would be of great service to Russia, by ob* liging Turkey to divide the forces, and de fend herself on both borders. Hence, it is said, Russia has made application to the governments of Great Britain and France, to consent to her attacking Turkey from the Mediterranean, in order to force her to withdraw part of her troops from the opposite quarter, and thus enable Russia to make great headway in her attempts to ad vance against Constantinople* from Bulga ria If a proposition of this sort has, as is reported, been formally made, it is very easv to perceive it will place the British and French cabinets in a perplexing situa tion By assenting to it, they would imme diately become parties to the war, and thus be involved in all its consequences. By joining Russia* it is to be presumed, they would force Austria to take sides with the Turks; and thus the very evil which the allied powers have all along professed not merely a disposition, but a fixed determi nation to avoid, would be brought upon them—viz: a general war. If they perse vere as we presume they will in executing the treaty of July, and in that alone, it is apparent that Russia will have a more serious task on her hands than was at first supposed. The Tuiks have made a firm stand at the Balkan Mountains, and in the fortress of (if Ghuiimla they cei Tandy eeicod themselves with great resolution. T;.e Russians, in their two last wars w.jh Tur key, vreie not able to pass beyond this place. In 1812 they made peace, to re sist Bonapart s invasion of iher ten dory on the opposite side of the empire. The place is stroug, and the passes of the moun tain* are extremely difficult We have very little expectation that this all impor tant object will be accomplished the pre sent campaign Both parties will ruve the winter to recruit, and to strengthen them selves, and if the war is prosecut and the next season, it will doubtless he one of a desperate and sanguinary character. Morality of Manufactories. —It has bees urged with much warmth bj some, as a stroug objection to the encourageno nt of qtanufactring establishments, that their ine/ituble tendency is to corrupt the mor als of those employed in or connected with them. Our personal acquaintance with the con dition and character of those engaged in manufacturing establishments, is not very extensive ; but so far as it and es reach, it is not by any me•%os calculated u> fill ihe mind of the good man with alarm, or to justify the objection alluded to. For the present, we will only say a few wo.ds respecting the manufactories on the Brandywine and o* ther in this neighbourhood, many ol winch vve have frequently visited. So far as we have had opportunity to obseive, the per sons employed in these establishments are well satisfied with their condition. They have plenty to eat and to wear; are well housed and partake of many of the bla-ssings and comforts of life, to which thou sands in similar stations in foreign countnes are strangers; and in every sense of tho word, their condition is far preferable to that of multitudes of idL and half starved persons who are an intolerable burthen to our cities and towns They are amply provided with the means of moral and religious instruction, and we aver, without fear if that their morality would not suffer by the com parison, if placed side by side with that of those who have been reared and live where every square contains a church, and were fashion and lefmeioent present at thous • id temptations unknown at our munufucui mg establishments.

Ancient Coin. —An ancient colonial cine of Massachusetts, was some time since brought to a store in this city by u Negro, who offered it in payment for an arMcb , and from whom it was obtained for a tnfle. It is of the size of a shilling piece and is of copper, thinly washed with silver. It is much worn by use and contains ihe da ? e of 1652 with the No. of the coin, thus iii the centre, 1652 XII The name of Massachusetts on the edge is spelt MASATHUS! TS. The reverse, exhibits the remains of some device, so much defaced” that it can no longer be made out. It bears some resemblance to a tree which appears to be crossed by an arrow, the head of which alone is visible.
