THK SAVANNAH MERC unit FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 15, IH2O-. To Correspondents- —“Common Sense,” in n ---j:\ver to Omega, came too late to be {W f in tvpe for this morning’s paper; it will be attended to to* irorrow. “Fair Flay” is also laid over for want of room By the John Chevalier, Capt. Sisson, we re ceived tho Charleston Southern Patriot of last Wednesday evening. INDEPENDENCE OF THE PRESS. Or ‘he Printer and his Patrons. As we sat turning over the loaves of our Sub scription List, the other morning, we looked up and saw our old friend Puffcndorfbefore us. “I see you have not yet. learnt all the secrets of your trade, (says he) and I have called to give you a little wholesome advice.” We have great pleasure in receiving advice— “And too little discretion in following it, (said he) —I see how it is; but no matter; I will open to you ” But here he was interrupted by a knocking at the door, and in a moment he sunk behind the screen, as our patron A entered. “I am very sorry (says Mr. A) that you came out with that piece this morning; it will play the very devil witli your concern. I have heard se veral people say that they mean to stop your pa per.” Can't help it; an Editor, you know, must speak his mind. “O certainly! I like to see Editors independent. But then it’s always best to be on the right side.— And to tell you the truth, I have no wish to sup port a paper which propagates sueh dangerous doctrines. I just give you a piece of my mind. — Good morning.” And he went out; but the door had scarcely closed, when in cams Mr. B. “That was a capital piece, this morning—(says . h e ) —j a st the thing. Put my name down as a sub scriber. I like to see Editors independent. Here's a long advertisement, keep it in a month.” But before we had time to congratulate our * selves on the event, Mr. C made his appearance. “Sir, (says he) 1 have called to tell you that vou mav stop my paper. I can never support, an Editor who entertains such absurd opinions.” Certainly, sir—shall we receipt your Bill? “Whv, as to that, another time will do as well. But I take the liberty of telling you that the Ta riff is ruinous to the country; and moreover dia bolical; and if you do not com® out against it, we ’Vill put you down —that's all. I like to see Edi terfe independent.” And he departed in high dudgeon. But in a -moment after, Mr. D came in. “Good morning, Mr. Editor, (says he) I have just callc- to let you know that my friend Mr. SpifHikins is about to start for Alderman, and I wish you to give him a lift in your paper.” Why, to be sure, (said we) Mr Spiffliking is a very decent man; but should suppose we might eclecet more useful Aldermen. “True, i must confess,* there arc smarter men than Mr. Spiffiikins; but then I have a reason for wishing him elected. And certainly you cannot refuse to support him, considering we have always supported you, and as we all agree in politics.” That, lobe sure, is a great matter; but, in the selection of public officers, we ought to look to tlre public good and not be governed by private feel ing. “Very well, sir, very well; my practice is to support those who support me. Just stop my paper. I am for an independent Editor, who will stick to his friends without regard to conse quences.” Add he turned on his heel in a great pet. But ’ out embarrassments w ere not yet at an end. Mr D's back was scarcely turned before in came Mr. E. “I understad (says he) that old Spiffiikins has been put up as a candidate for Alderman. Now I want yon to lay him out as cold as a wedge.— It may be done in three lines. And, do you hear? call him an old fool—an old dunderhead—and at! that kind of thing. Don't fear consequences! — J’here’s nothing like independence in an Editor.’’ “But consider Mr. E; there is something due to *he ieelings of a worthy old man, even though he be no Solomon. It is not every one for whom we ! cannot vote, that we feel free to arraign before the public. “What! you won’t write against him then!— j Just stop my paper. I won’t support an Editor who can’t be independent!” You see sir, (said we to our friend Puffendorf, who re joined us as the heavy tramp of our last angry visitor died away on the ear,) how im possible it is for an editor to please every body.— I hese are all equally friends; all equally admirers of the Independence of the Press. And yet either i ot tuem would in a moment sacrifice it to his own i Convenience; would trample it under foot, when- j it crossed his own path, or interfered with .*ns own particular feelings or prejudices. ‘ You cec that the same paragraph which excites the admiration of the one, will provoke the hostility 01 another And that in contested elections, the Editor is posted between two fires; he is sure to be scorched by one.,! perhaps by both. “You have found it out then, at last; (said our friend PufTendorf;) that is the very subject of, and concerning which, I wished to give yon a little eage adv ice. In tho first place, let me advise you. never to commit yourself on any subject. .If you *fmd it necessary to say any thing, speak very dubiously; first say a smart thing on this side, and then on that. If you speak out, you will most ‘-certainly interfere with some of the preconceived notions of some of your patrons, and then you will be sure to lose business. In all cases of contested elections, never support or oppose any candidate; * as you will certainly make an enemy of the party you ofrpose; and perhaps also, df the party whose interests you espouse. Because it is not often that a candidate will be content witli the measure of praise thabyou may be disposed to mete out. It he have no character of his own, he will expect you to give him one; and if your imagination be not very prolific, he will be disappointed in these just expectations. If he have pretensions, he will he convinced that you have not done him justice. It he* succeed, he will suspect that the public be •ieves he owes you an obligation; and he will therefore be your enemy. If he’lose his election, he will attribute his failure to your want of zeal, * ability in the management of hia cause; and he dislike you on that account, is always dangerous for an editor to oppose an individual; h.Js scarcely less so, to support him,” Why, according to your policy, an editor must just say nothing at all. “You have hit it very nearly. There arc very few topicsiio can approach and speak oat, without crossing the views of someone. Bui this simple maxim will carry you triumphantly through every difficulty. Whatever may be the subject, howe ver unimportant it may at the first view appear— never commit yourself. Let editorials be like Delphic oracles, every paragraph an enigma. Every reader will then interpret it so as to suit his own prejudices and opinions. .This is what has raised many an editor into popularitv, and ex tended his patronage This is w'bat they mean when they talk about the Independence of the Press.” Philadelphia, May 5. Infant Schools. —The first anniversary of the Northern Liberties’ Infant Schools was celebrated yesterday afternoon, at the Rev. Mr. Patterson’s church, corner of se cond and Coates’ streets. More than (300 children were arranged upon a temporary stage, under the direction of four principal, and four assistant teach ers The performances of the scholars were truly astonishing ; their ago and the time in which the schools have been in operation, considered. Questions from scripture were answered with promptness; hymns and primary arithmetical tables were repeated, and words defined, and their ipposites in signification named One class gave a pleasing evidence of its own proficiency, and its teacher’s patient industry, by an swering questions in geography. All gave evidence of the utility of the institution, the faithfulness of the instructors, and the pio priety of commencing with good, before e* vil has become habitual LATEST FROM ENGLAND. New York, May 5. The packet ship Columbia, Capt. De lano, arrived below yesterday afternoon from London. She sailed from Portsmouth on the Ist ult. and brings us pa;-rrs to the 31st March, from which we make the an nexed summary extracts : The Roman Catholic Relief Bill w is ta ken up, on the third reading, in the House of Commons, on the 30ih, and after a long and warm debate was passed by a vote of 320 to 142—majority, 178, and sent to the House of Lords fur concurrence. When the question was put for sending the ill up, there was very loud and general cheering. Several members approached Mr, Peel, with whom they* shook hands, and offered him their congratulations. The Irish Forty Shilling Freeholders’ Disfranchisement Bill was also read a third time and passed. The accounts from Smyrna arc to the 21st of February. Interviews continued to take place between M. Jmbertand the Re is Eflendi; but they were uninteresting, &, would continue so, till the return of the an swers from London and Paris. The Porte hoped that tho ministers of these powers would return to Constantinople, or some place in the vicinity, to come to a final ar rangement. It was supposed that Russia had agreed that the affairs of Greece should ho treated by two Plenipotentiaries, and that it had promised its assent to whatever might be done. When this arrangement is made, it would immediately lead to ation between the two belligerent powers. Meantime the preparations continued.— Troops were daily airiving from Asia, and great quantities of cannon and ammunition were embarked and sent to Rodosto, to for tify several points on the sea of Marmora; and on the side of Adrianople, corn was daily becoming more scarce and very dear. The Porte had however taken measures, by it was expected to relieve this scarcity Advices from Egina announces that two Russian .ships of ilie line and two frigates, had gone to cruise off Candia, Rhodes and Alexandria, to intercept all convoys from Egypt. According to the Algemeine Zeitung of the 21st, Sir F. Adams, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, had gone to Joanina, to visit the new Grand Vi zier, Redsciiid Pacha, before his departure for the Danube, to put himself at the head of the Ottoman armies. llis visit was sup posed to bo connected with the projected arrangements respecting Greece. Redsciiid Pacha being better able, to interfere effect ually iu the settlement of that important question On the coast of Candin, the Turks are said to have taken many vessels with fugitive Greek families, especially wo men, on hoard, and notwithstanding their supplications, to have thrown them into the sea, and sunk the vessels. * The Paris papers of the 26th, contain the two orders of the day issued by General Wittgenstein and Derhitsch, at Jassy, on tiie 27th Feh. the one in quitting, and the other in assuming the chief command of the Russian army Gen. Deibitsch’s first ope ration after his arrival, was to concentrate the var ious corps stationed on the left bank of the Danube, and to prepare fur the at tack ot Giurgevo, the only place occupied by the Turks on that hank That fortress once carried, it was intended to throw a bridge over the river, and proceed immedi ately with the siege of Hudsctmck, after which the army would advance to join the division cantoned at Varna and Privadi, & endeavor to force the passage of the Balk an, and penetrate to Constantinople. The London Courier of March SO, savs According to the Gazette de France of Saturday anew treaty has been concluded and signed between England, France and Russia, which relates to the settlement of | Greece and has been sent to Constantino ple to be notified to the Turkish govern jmem. Afier the engagements entered in to by the three courts in 1827, no new trea ty was necessary. Their object wasdefi- I ned, their determination clearly and firmly .expressed, and the steps since taken to car. ry it into effect have been equally public and decisive. YY r e are happy, however, to be able to confirm the statement of the Ga zette, that the most perfect harmony contin ues to exist between tho three poiveis. According to letters from Syrn, in the Algeiweiiie Zeitung, the Sultan would not accede to the proposals of Jaubert, and, in deed to nothing which came in the shape of proposals. The allies, it is said, “must act without him, and lie then will agree to what they have done* If they would positively and irrevocably recognise the independence of Greece, and declare that the Morea, the Cyclades, Attica, Livadia and Negropont, form a separate State, and that anv attempt of the Porte against it, will he considered as a declaration of war, the Porte must yield to necessity. The Sultan may con tradict the Divan by refusing to accede to the terms pioposed but will never venture against the will of the Divan to declare w'ar against France and England.” According to the London Courier of the 30th, the accounts from the frontiers of Ser via, say that the appointment of Redschid Pacha as Grand Vizier, will change the whole system of the war. The Turks have not heretofore act p d on any general plan, but each separate commander has followed his own views., or rather those to which cir cumstances g ive rise. Redschid, who has accquired considerable experience in -the Greek contest, is fully aware of the impor tance of combined operations, and has de termined to make every movement tend to oup great object. In order to confirm - the Governors of fortresses in the faithful dis charge of their duties, or rather to prevent the suriender of the remaining strong holds n the Danube till the very last extremity, commisioners have been £ent to each of them forming superior councils, by whom the conduct of the Governors is to be con trolled. The committeee of nine Gentlemen, ap pointed at the request of Dr. Knox, to in vestigate his conduct in re’ation to the pur chase of anatomical subjects from Burke and Hare, have made a full report excul pating him from any knowledge of the foul means used by them in obtaining the bodies but they censure him for buying uninter red bodies, without making the proper scrutiny. The T imes, states that a knot of black guard-, are in the habit of assembling about the Houses of Parliament, for the purpose of insulting the Duke of Wellington, and the other members of the Administration. The weavers in and around Glasgow, were in an increasing state of distress, and the magistrates found great difficulty in re pressing the excitement among them. The Chief B iron of the Exchequer has been raised to the peerage, with ;iie title of Marquis of Rockberton, County of Lime rick, and has vacated the bench. It is said that Lord Plunkett is to be appointed Chief Baron of the ExMi^quer. The London Morning Herald, of the 31st, says great surprise is beginning to be feh, at wo tidings haVing as yet arrived, of the place of retreat of the fugitive Stephen son. ‘[lf will not be long before tlie sur prise h at an end.] It was reported that there would be a diminution in the next quarter’s revenue, ending sth April, both in the customs and the excise. J The London Standard of the evening of the 31st, says—a King’s Mess* nger arriv ed at the Foreign Office, at a late hour last night, with despatches from Mr.. Stratford Canning, at Naples. It is st.ted that he is about to be relieved from the cares of his embassy, and f-bV he will De succeeded by Mr. Gordon, brother of Lord Aber deen.— It is probable Mr. Gordon will pro* ceed to Constantinople. The same paper observes—Ministers have been in active communication from an early hour this morning. The Duke of Wellington has, since his arrival from Windsor, been visited by most of his col-• leagues. The result of his interview with j his Majesty, has not of course transpired it is, however, confidently stated to have* been of a most interesting and vitally im portant nature. The Premier sent several messengers for the Lord President, to at tend him this morning, previous to that no- j ble Lord’s arrival at his office. ..Rumors are today even more prevalent than yes-j le relay. According to commercial letters fiem Constantinople, the Porte had allowed all vessels under the Austrian flag, laden with com, going from the Black Sea to the Me diterranean, a free passage to their destina tion, with two thirds of their cargoes, on condition that the other third should be left ■for the supply of Constantinople, where it should be paid for in ready money at a fix ed price. A piratical vessel had been captured and destroyed by a boat from the Biitish brig Alacrity, near Cassandto, in the Gulf of Salonica. A Lieutenant and five men wete wounded. The pirates attempted to make their escape by jumping into the sea, hut four were captured and carried into Malta. Accounts from Gibraltar to March 5. state that many merchants had left there, to establish themselves in Cadiz, in conse quence of the late declaration making it a free port. London. March 30.

A great addition of cavalry is going to be added to the Russian armies, and a vast quantity of new accoutrements, of the best qualities, have been pent to the head quarters ; a line of battle i&hip has been sent from Toulon to Naples to bo under ihe orders of Count Guilleminot, by which it is supposed he is going on board to proceed to Con stantinople Letters from Corfu, of the 4th of February, state, tho English Adrnir. 1 has given orders tj his ships in the Archipelago to return to Malta.

Baltimore, May 7. f I he Editor of the Gazette, acknow ledges the receipt of Valparaiso papers to the jih of February.— YVe copy the fol lowing items : The stil te of Chili is represented by the | editor of the South American Gazette, as more prosperous and tranquil than that of 0113’ other of the South American States, notwithstanding that there is even there a factious and perhaps powerful opposition existing against the general government. Among the recent measures which they have adopted, are those for the abolish ment of the Custom-House at Santiago, and for the formation of a carriage-road be tween that port and the province of Acon eagtie. A seminary of learning has also been instituted in Santiago, under the pat to nag e of the government, denominated he Lyceum of Chile ; they have subscribed lor 40 scholars, which are to be taken from the diffluent provinces, in due proportion according to the number of inhabitants.—• The Villctes de la Aduana , or govern ment bills have also been abolished, a mea sure than which nothing could hive been more popular as they were extremely odious to all classes, and the execution of them required considerable energy. It is by measures such as the above that the ad ministration will secure and retain the con fidence of the country. Extract of a letter to the Editor of the G i- j zette dated “Callao Harbor, Dec 24, 1823. “The armies of Colombia and Peru, are still augmenting their forces upon the con fines of their respective territories, should the negotiations for peace prove unsuccess ful, 1 suppose active hostilities will com mence with the more obstinacy, from the long increasing exasperations of mutual defiance. ‘ The army from Bolivia arrived in trans ports at this port a few days since, under convoy of an arnved schooner ; after remai ning over 48 hours they sailed for Payta, to reinforce Gen. La Mar; with the addition al drafts from this place, the whole number of troops may have amounted to 4,000 men, u.ider command of Gen. Gamarie, which will augment the power of Peru to 12,000 soldiers, some say 14,000. 4 The soldiers of Bolivia exhibit in their appearance rather u “ sorry sight,” their squallied and distressed looks give ihem the semblance of an army of convicts rather than the soldiers of a lepublic struggling for her political existence. 4 There is no other news of importance in this quarter. The moral condition of society in this neighborhood, is in the but stage of turpitude and depravity. No man thinks of travelling from Callao to Lima without being doubly armed with pistols iHc, cutlass.— Robberies are committed in the face of the sun, and a patrol of Clmssmirs is stationed at intervals on the road, to protect the throats of passengers. To such an ag gravation have those robberies arrived, as almost to stop communication between the two places.” COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Friday, March 27, 1829. The demand for Cotton has been extremely lim ited during the whole of the present week; and prices of American descriptions may be quoted at about l-Bth lower than this day fortnight; but there is no alteration in other sorts.
