I Jfr. Editor:
| /hivebeen highly gratified in observing the
■ fear?® you have pursued in regard to the Steven-
I ton eieitement; it will most certainly meet the
■ approbationthe candid and disinterested.— De-
I prcatinnr, on tlie one hand, the violent infringe-
I pent ofour laws; and on the other, that injudi
■ ({U s eicitnnent which would punish illegally and
I gently those who had been guilty of the trans-
I jrwion This would have been increasing the
I ffil complained of; and correcting one outrage of
I he law with another still more systematically out-
I •oeeous. Though the beat feelings of our nature
I were naturally against the abductors of Stevenson
I _vet the excitement raised against them had ma-
I av artificial stimulants , the nature and operation
I of which, voor sagacity cannot have failed to de.
I tect. To such an extent was this excitement car-
I fied. that at one moment, the project of raising a
I posse to burn the pilot-boat which carried off Ste-
I ?enon. and to execute summary vengeance on
I every participator in the outrage on his person,
fas erwly u k**l of. Thi*, certainly, could
jot have healed our broken law*; hut would have
iffixed aiother stain upon our character. Indeed
lam of opinion that popular fermentations are
always improper and unjust They tend to im
pede the just administration o 1 ’the laws, and often
work oppression upon individuals. Crimes and
misdemeanors are passed upon by a jury, yet this
jury being apart of the community, must partake
of the popular excitement —What probability,
then, is there of their being able to give an unbi
assed decision.
it seems to me, therefore, that an independent
Rditoiofa free press, should always rather at
tempt to allay popular feeling, than ‘join in the
hue and cry against an individual charged with an
ifence, t f * the puni htnent of which, the law is
fily adequate. Public clamor has a tendency to
f-restal public opinion, and to warp the decisions
ot a jury; which ought always to be carefully
guarded agaipst.
•Now. in regard to the abduction of Stevenson,
t<?( p,s !° we that ihe case ought to he left to the !
?>iiet decision of the law. Any attempt to excite
lie cofninisse ration or sympathy in his behalf,)
r| ” Asperate 4 he public mind against those
*■lo took him away, must tend inevitably to de- ;
fed the ends of justice—viz. a fair and impartial ’
l it!. Much has been said in our papers about the j
•tmeity of this transaction A notorious swindler
‘ “ cen B hv!ed the il unfortunate Stevenson." — ,
10 s,Ue - cr hne is always unfortunate; but it is !
1 that kind of misfortune which calls for public
•apathy The wre<ch who expiates his trans- j
j! Ss * n n* on the gallows, is certainly unfortunate
0 “as Stevenson, in the same sense, unfortunate ?

ttdue Ins been dealt to him. That it could not

,ist ' ce , must abide the consequences of their
fodiness.

I which he stands charged. The English press, as
well as our own, is-fmd o f go&sipingp for the ptrr- 1
pose, we presume, of gratifying that morbid taste
| which is so fond of the marvellous.
From the conflicting statements which have
been made, it would be impossible for individuals,
f>o remote from the scene of action as we are, to I
form a correct opinion in relation to the real me
rits of the case. It is enough for us to say that
• Stephenson, in all probability, will soon be deliv
j ered over to the laws of his country. That he, as
well as his abductors, will be dealt w ith according
I to his and their innocence or guilt, is all that we
desire.
j •
Russia and the Porte. —Vast preparations are
j niaking by those twm great powers for the open
ing ot the Spring campaign. There seems to be
a fixed and vigorous determination on the part of
the Ottoman', to give his invader a sanguinary re
ception, and drive him back to his frigid and in
hospitable clime. That he will be able to effect
this, we have every reason to believe. The little
progress made by Russia, during the prosecution
of the Winter campaign, does not augur well for
her success in the ensuing one. We have observ
ed that her troops w ? ere not as able as the Turks
to withstand the inclemency of the season, al*
though natives of a colder region. This fact may,
probably, be accounted for on moral principles:
the Turk, animated by a devotional feeling for hia
home and his altars, we may suppose that the ne
cessity of their preservation imparted lohisphysi
cal energies, a wurmth of patiiotism which the
“rugged Russ” is incapable of feeling. If, howe
ver, the checks which threw Russia back in the
first campaign, operated to her discomfiture, as
w T e have no doubt they did, she will find more for
midable ones to oppose in the prosecution of the
Spring campaign. The ardent and fiery tempa
rament of the Turk ivill then be in its element,
and w ill rise in proportion to the depression of hi g
phlegmatic assailant. The constitutional incapa
city of the Russians to endure heat is w ell known
—they will therefore have to encounter, not only
the swords of the Turks, but an enemy equally
dangerous and destructive.
By the sloop John Denison , Capt. Fitch,
arrived yesterday afternoon from Key West,
we received, (says the Charleston Courier,
of Tuesday last,) a file of the Register , of
that place, to the sth inst. inclusive.
Col. Brooks, appointed by the United
States to select a site fora military depot at
Key West, arrived on the 6th inst.
The U S. sloop of war Erie, Captain
Turner, sailed from Key West on the Ist
: nst. on a cruise, in search of the pirates
•vho captured the brig Attentive and who
ire supposed to have murdered the crew of
the brig New Priscilla, Capt. Hart, from
this port, bound to Havana, an account of
which was given iu the Courier, on the 9lh
instant.
The same paper informs us, that a fire
occurred about 7 o’clock on Monday even
ing last, upon the premises occupied by
Messrs. Cutting and Whittemore, soap and,
candle manufacturers, in St. Philip
above the Orphan House—one or two small
out buildings were destroyed: but the ex
ertions ol the firemen, aided by a heavy
rain, which had fallen just previously, pre
vented tl>e flames from extending to the
Manufactory, a large wooden building,
which, with two or three adjoining dwelling
houses, were fortunately preserved. The
buildings burned were the property of Mr,
Alex 13. Wilson
-- ,
We are authorised to state (says
rnond Compiler ,) that in consequence of ill
health, Mr. Randolph, declines being a
candidate at the ensuing Congressional
election.
A letter from ‘• ashington, says:—“The
Polar expedition is wrecked It will cost
j a little corn to support the Peacock, and
;so the Senate have determined to wring
her neck, and pull out her tail, to plume the
head of the uext administration.”
Washington, March 10.
Some other nominations were made yes
terday, but they were of lesser magnitude,
and vre are not able to state them, except
that ol John Pope, of Kentucky, to be
j Governor of the Territory of Arkansas,
which was confirmed.
In addition to the appointments hereto
fore announced, it ought to be stated, that
John W. Campbell, has been appointed
Diet riot Judge of the United States, for
the Dictrict of Ohio; ami that Mr. Harper;
has been appointed District Judge, and Mr.
Slidell, Attorney of the Uuited States, for
the District of Louisiana.
General Peter B. Porter, late Secretary
of War and his family, left this City yes
terday, for their residence in New York,
carrying with them toe respect and good
wishes of all who have enjoyed the pleasure
of their acquaintance.
Match 12
The Senat.‘ of the United Stales still
remains in session, passing upon such ap
pointments as are laid before it.
Os the pi iucipal appointments which have
en confirmed by that body, we have al
eadv fom time to time given our readers
* account.
In addition to those already stated, we
•urn that the following nominations, by the
1’ sident or the United States, have been
oufinued by the Senate.

SAVANNAH, THURSDAY MORNING , MARCH 26, 1829.
James N. Barker, to be Collector of the
Customs for the Port of Philadelphia,
j I* rancis Baylies, (late Representative
io Congress,) to be Collector of the Cus
, toms for the Port of New Bedford.
I John Chandler, (late to be

the Customs for the Port of Plymouth, in
Massachusetts
—— Ellis, to be Collector of the Customs
for the Port of New Haven.
Joshua Prentiss, to be Surveyor of the
Revenue for the Port of Marblehead.
Several other appointments have been
made, the particulars of which have hot
reached us. No nominations of Ministers
to Foreign Powers have yet been made,
though several are confidently reported to
be in contemplation. *
Among the present visiters to the City,
we observe Major Gen. Gaines, of the Ar
my of the United State*.
Major Gen. Scott, also, is still here.
Hagerstown, March 5.
The lion. Henry Clay, has accepted an
invitation to partake of a public dinner in
Hagerstown, on his return to his residence
in Kentucky. He will leave Washington
between the lOih and 20th of the present
month. Due notice of the day on which
he may be expected will hereafter be given
to bis friends throughout the country.
The friends of this great statesman wish
it to be distictly understood that this pro*
ceeding is not to he construed as evidence
of a feeling, on their part, hostile to the ex
isting Administration of the General Gov
eminent; but as a deserved mark of respect
for the character and important public ser
vices, and as a token ot undiminished con
fidence in the patriotism aud integrity of
Mr. Clay. ‘
We understand that Mr. C. has also ac
pected a similar invitation from his friends
in Frederick.— Torch Light .
Key West, Feb. 26.
By the arrival of the sclir. Good Intent,
Gibbons, from Nassau, New-Providence,
we are politely furnished with files of the i
Royal Gazette, up to the 18th inst. They s
contain ni'thing, however, of importance.—
Spoke on the 24ih inst. off Viper Ke y in- j
side the reef, brig CreoLe, W. Loring, 1
master, hid received no damage, and had *
great hopes of getting off without assistance, i
She was bound from N. Orleans to Boston. /
Information is received from Tampico, up j
to the Ist Jan. The Mexican government/
had settled down under Guerrero—the ac
counts of murder and pillage had been much (
exaggerated. The Congress was in session, J
and a bill was under discussion for the ex- j
pulsion of all Spaniards^—the only difference ,
of opinion was whether they should have %
or 6 months time to leave the country.
March 5.
We understand that a few days sincea,
large number of American Merchantmen i
left Havana, convoyed by two Spauish men |
of war, which would afford them protection •
beyond the limits frequented by pirates.— 1
This proteciion, so promptly afforded by
Admiral Laborde, is a circumstance which
entitles this officer to the regard of the na
tion.
Nantucket, Feb. 28.
M tlancholy Shipwreck. —The brig Ann :
Eliza, of Topsham, [Me.] from Palermo,;
with a cargo of wine, &c. bound to Boston,
fell in with Fr. brig L'Aimable Elizabeth, :
Guillebert, lat. 42 lon 39, in a wrecked
conditition, took the capt. and crew of the
Fr brig on board, and proceeded to Fayal,
at which place the crew of the brig swam
ashore, the capt. and mate continuing on
board the Ann Eliza, which sailed from
Fayal Dec. 28, and during ihe following!
night the capt. VVm. P. Barstow, of Boston, *
was lost overboard. On the 21st instant,;
while in Boston B iy, the late severe storm
commenced, blew away the sails, and drove j
the Eliza Ann to sea, and she was driven •
ashore on the west end of Nantucket, on
Thursday night, at 8 o’clock, soon bilged
and filled with water. Capt. E. M. Rip*
ley [formerly mate of the Ann Eliza,] the
capi. and mate of the Fr. brig, and the
crew belonging to the Ann Eliza saved,
except one man.
Foreign Intelligence.
EXTRACTS FROM a LATE LIVERPOOL PAPER.
Suspected Murder. —A few days ago, in
Dublin, a coroner’s inquest was held on the
body of the Rc*v. Edward Sweeny, a Ca
tholic priest, which was found in a partly
decomposed state, lying in the mud, off the
pier, at low water. The Rev. Gentleman
arrived a few days previously from America,
and it was supposed that he had in his pos
session a large sum of money, which he
had brought with him from America—the
contribution of several friends of Ireland,
at Savannah, towards the Catholic rent.—
It was supposed that the deceased had been
robbed of the money, and then murdered
After a long and patient investigation, the
jury returned a verdict of found drowned .
Russia ond Turkey . —The severity of
the weather appears to have put a stop to
hostilities, both on the part of the Russians
and the Turks. An article from Constan
tinople of the Bth of December, states, that
no official intelligence from the army of the
Grand Vizer had been received, but that it
appeared to have been prevented doing any
thing by the dreadful severity of the wea*
iher. The report of several Russian ships
having been driven ashore at Bdigas, am.
fitst, with a great quantity of military store*
and the cannon taken at Varna, has greatly
encouraged the Turks, and the Mufti ha>
represented the loss of the vessels and
stores as the presage of future victories.—
The Petersburg!] accounts in the German
papers, state, that the Emperor Nicholas is
still anxious for peace, but ou the basis of
the declaration issued by him previous to
the war. No doubt his Imperial Majesty
is very anxious to obtain, without further
expense of money or men, that which will
otherwise cost, in all probability, a lavish
expenditure of both; but such a pacific
anxiety as this is not likely to lead to peace.
The war is said to be still extremely popu
lar in Russia, notwithstanding the check
received in the last campaign.
The St. Petersburg!] papers of the 23d
December, contain news from the Russian
army in Asia, from which it appears that
the advanced corps of that force, after hav
ing for some lime acted on the defensive,
has retreated In Asia, as well as the East
of Europe, the the winter is said to be very
severe, and a cessation of hostilities is
reckoned on. The Russians appear to
have maintained their more important con
quests, and congratulate themselves on
having been able to do so in spite of the
incessant attacks of the Turks. The ex
pectations entertained in the early part of
the campaign, that General Paskenitsch
would be able speedily to reach Eizeroum, !
have been thus as little verified as the ex
pectations that General Wittgenstein would
have been able to pass the Balkan. The
result, both iu Europe and Asia, after both
parties have recruited their forces during
the winter, will bo anxiously looked for.
A great number of vessels, laden with all
sorts of provisions, are said to have arrived
at Constantinople, notwithstanding the
blockade.
The Berlin papers of the Ist es Januarj, i
say that General Roth, before the army left j
the environs of Schoumla, united under bis
command all the troops of the 6th and 7th
corps that have remained in Bulgaria, and *
has posted them in Varna, Para/adt, Cos-
Londschi, and Bazarjik; and it seems that,
in case of an attack, which is improbable,
he has sufficient force to repel it
A letter from Odessa puts beyond all
doubt the reported loss of the Russian ves
sel Maria, with 200 sick and wounded on
board, as well as twelve cannon, intended
for Warsaw, and other military trophies,
taken at Varna. This ship, one of the
largest and best of her class in the Russian
navy, appears to have in a manner sunk
immediately under another vessel anchored
in the bay ofßourgas.
Greece. —The Allgemeine 2eirtung of
the sth January, contains an article from
Ancona upon the proposed limits if Greece
to the Morea and the Cyclades, which as
might be expected, cannot please all con
cerned. The Greeks themselves wish to
have room and verge enough, in which
they are seconded by the French; but the
English Government probably from motives
of prudence, is anxious to restrict the boun- •
daries of the new state, urging as a reason,
that the consent of the Porte thereto will
be more easily obtained.
An account from Toulin of the Ist Jan.
states that the preparations for another ma- <
ratime expedition are in a state of great
forwardness. It is not known whether its
destination is the Morea or Algiers.
Portugal. —The first division of the
Portagttese emigrants, consisting of troop 9
of the line, 700 in number, sailed from !
Plymouth on the 6th of January. Their .
destination is nominally the Brazils, but, in j
the first instance, it is supposed they will j
call at the Azores. We understaud that j
upwards of a thousand copies of the account j
of the young Queen s reception at Windsor,
translated into Portuguese, have been prin
ted here, and sent to be distributed in Por
tugal
Fever at Gibraltar —The Gibraltar
paper of the 24th December, states, that
on that day three new cases of fever were
reported, and there were three deaths; the
wind at west; weather fine. The letters
received to the 25th are of a cheering des
cription; one extract will suffice:—Gibral
tar, 24th December.—The Fever is at length
leaving u*; there is joy beaming in every
countenance.
IRELAND.
Catholic Association . - At a meeting of
the Association on Tuesday the 6th Jan.
Mr. O’Connell read a letter from Liver
pool, enclosing £lO rent, in which he was
requested to draw up ao address to the
collectors and subscribers for their encour
agement; he signified his willingness to pre
pare the address, if sanctioned by the
! committee. A letfer<was read from Col.
L. Allan, K. B. of the 55th Regiment,
enclosing £lO rent and requesting that the
writer might be admited a member of the
Association. The gallant Colonel staled
that he pursued this course as a friend to
his country, and in consequence of the As
sociation having pledged itself to attend to
the advice of the Marquis of Anglesey.
DRUGS AND MEDICINES
DR. EDWARD OOPPEE has taken the store
in Marshall's building, corner of Broughton
and Barnard streets, near the Market, where eh
will keep constantly for sale a supply of fresh and
warranted Drugs and Medicines. Although prin
cipally engaged in professional pursuits, yet, his
office being at the same place, he will pay such
personal attention to the Drug Business that pur >
chasers may be assured of tne genuineness and
goodness of every article.
Persons wishing to consult Doctor Coppee will
find him at his office, as above, or at his dwelling
in Broughton street.

REMARKS
CoTToN.*-The past has been a very dull week
in Uplands, and the sales will not exceed 800 bales,
at from 8 a 9 1-4, and in some instances 9 1-2; the
demand principally for prime at 9 1-4 Cents. We
have Liverpool accounts te the 21th of January,
which are still more discouraging than those be
fore received, quoting Uplands at 5 l-4d. a 6 5-8d ,
but a small proportion reaching over 6 l-4d.
Since the receipt of these accounts, our market
has been completely at’ a stand, and we hate heard
of no transactions of any note-sales of one or two
ots of fully fair quality have been made at 8 1-8
Sea Islands have been quite dull the last week,
and the transactions limited. We quote 17 a 22.
cents, and upwards for fine brands; but as the ac
counts are also unfavorable for this article, a do
dine is looked for.
Rice.—The transactions in this article have
been very limited; seme sales have been made at
from $2 1-2 a 3, mostly at $2 5-8 a 2 3-4;
quote $2 1-2 a 3.
Groceries. —The sales made since our last re
port have been principally for town trade, at our
formei quotations.
Flour—The demand for this article is very
heavy; small sales to bakers have been made at
$8 1-2 a 8 3-4.
Corn.—The stock on hand is diminishing, and
the article is in limited demand; sales have been
made during the week at 58 cents by the quantity,
and by retau at 60 cents.
Freights—To Liverpool, 11-16d; to France, 1
3-8 a 1 1-2 cts to New York, $1 1-2 per bale; to
Providence, no vessel.
