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

The private letters from St. Petersburgh. this

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

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.”

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE—March 30.
Our market is very scantily supplied w ith Eng

about 2s per quarter on the prices since this day

in tire value of the middling and inferior qualities,
nor could the stands he cleared of this description.
No alteration in the price of flour. We have had
a considerable quantity of barley fresh up from
Norfolk and Suffolk, which caused extremely dull
sales this morning at an abatement of full Is per
quarter on the best, and more vn the second qual
ities, and even at this reduction the greater part
of the arrival is leftover the day. Beans of both

REMARKS.
Cotton.— Since our last report there has been
a fair demand for Uplands, at a trifling advance
upon last week’s prices, no doubt occasioned by
the decline of Freights to Liverpool, and the ad
vance of sterling currency in New York. The
sales of the week will probably reach 2500 bales,
at from 6 to 0 1-2 cents, and in some instances
0 3-4 a 10 has been obtained for strictly prime
Principal sales at from 8 3-8 to 9 1-4 cents. Sea
Islands of the middling qualities have been in good
request, and considerable sales have been made at
from 19 to 22 cents, and upwards for fine brands.
Rice. —There has been a fair business done in
this article since our last, ancf considerable sales
have been made at from $2 to 25-3, and in some
instances $2 3-4 has been obtained for prime.
Groceries —The demand for Groceries is very
limited ut last week’s quotations.
F, .our —ls retailing, in small lots, at $7 1-2.
Corn—Cargo sales 43 cents; retail 50 cents,
and in good demand.
Freights.— -To Liverpool l-2d. To France
