On our first page will be found a f able, which
we copied from the Charleston Courier, shew*
in"- at one new, the price of Cotton for each
week during the last ten rears. To those
who are Interested in the Cotton Market,
this table will be a valuable and interesting
record, particularly as the price is given, as it
rxisttd, at one of the largest Sea-Ports in the
Southern States.
The abundance of our Miscellaneous, Con
gressional and Foreign Articles in this days
paper, will plead our excuse for omitting
many articles which we ourselves, had pre
pared.
\Vc do not altogether agree with Ralphc ir.
his observations about “Troup and conscience”
We believe, that if his Excellency could dis
pose of all the sins of his Oubernation, with
the same ease that he can with those of ap
proving the law, “to lay off the State into
Congressional Districts,” and of approving
the luiv “ repealing the same,” that he would
be comparatively cleanly in his political char
acter. Neither of the laws were unconstitu
tional, therefore, it was a matter of duty and
policy, to approve them.

Capt. Solomon Betton, and Col. Linah
Mims, Commissioners appointed by the U. S.
Government, to value the indian improve
ments in the territory lately acquired from
the Creek nation, have completed their labo
rious and fatigueing duties, and returned to
this place. We understand that Capt. Bet
ton proceeds in the Stage this day to Wash
ington to make their report to the War De
partment.
The Indians improvements are valued at
$53,960, including 6037 acres of improved
land.

TROUP AND CONSCIENCE.
' * Tis strange how some men’s tempers suit,
• Like bawd and brandy,) with dispute,
That keep their consciences in cases,
As fiddlers do their cords and bases ;
Ne’er to be used, but when they’re bent,
To play a fit for argument.— ltudibras.
Troup, in his Message, says, “ the govern
ment of either State, is to he considered an
independent moral agent, having a conscience
es its own, the arbiter within itself of right
and wrong, to be influenced and controlled
cniy by Divine authority, and toe conscience
es this government has already passed defi
nitively on the Treaty of the Indian Springs.”
This is all well enough, and right religious ;
•or rather right hypocritical, as the talks of
this kight of the whisker are wont to be,
when a political object is to be thereby effect
ed, or the popularity of himself and his party
to be increased, however he may at other
times charge the followers of St. Peter with
uniting with Kings to impose the chains of
slavery upon mankind, when he may think it
would round off a period in an Orutiim. It
would appear, however, that the government
of this State, so Tar as Troup is concerned,
lias not only “a conscience of its own,” but
also a conscience of its own kind, what a
technical would call sui generis. Troup’s
conscience twelve months ago “ passed defini
* tively” upon the law, laying oft'the State into
Congressional Districts, and upon his oath of
office he sanctioned it; at the late Session,
this same conscience of his has again “passed
definitively” upon this same law, and he has
sanctioned the repeal of that law, upon the
same oath of office ! ! Was it “ Divine
authority that influenced and controlled ”
his conscience both times and both ways ?
If so, “ Divine authority” must be a more
tickle authoriry than I had heretofore supposed.
Is this liberty of conscience which he La*
carped so much on of late ? I would suppose
flic word liberality of conscience, orjhnktfity
°f conscience, would he a more appropriate
’erm ; at all events, it is a very convenient
ti nd accommoelating conscience.

We said, in our last, that the Bank
rupt Bill was defeated : and so it was
lr > the universal opinion, as well as
m our belief, by the solemn vote ot
rejection, in the Senate. By the
process of reconsideration of that
v °tc, however, the biil has been re
suscitated, perhaps only to a brief
oxistance, but possibly to a different
destiny. It was reconsidered yes
terday, with the avowed purpose,
will be probably carried into ef
'oct, ol striking out the 93d section,
"hich authorizes others than traders 1
u 'th their own consent, but not other
’V|se, to become bankrupts under
rhe provisions of the law. This pro
vision was inserted, to conciliate the
' *vor of the agricultural and other
interests, not including in the bank
rupt system as it exists in other coun
|ries. Without having this effect to
an y important extent, however, the
■insertion of that provision determin
ed several votes against the bill which
■"'fjld otherwise hare been in favor
of it—a sufficient number, it is sup
posed, to have decided the fate of
the bill, as it was actually determin
ed by the vote of Wednesday. The
question now presented, is, whether
the 93d section shall be expunged ;
and, if it he expunged, whether the
bill shall, pass' as a system of bank
ruptcy adapted to merchants and tra
ders only.
The whole country looks with
great interest, to the result of this
great question ; it being morally cer
tain, that, if it fail now, it fail for the
present generation. It is not con
sidered of so much consequence,
however great the consequence may
be, in what manner this question is
decided, as that it should be put
finally to rest.
HAVRE, Dec. 21.
The packet ship Canada, Capi.
Rogers, from New York, was seized
at Liverpool, with all her cargo.—
During the discharging of the ves
sel, the custom House Officers on
looking over one hogshead of hark,
discovered only three inches of bark
all round, the interior of the hogs
head being all tobacco; 11 other
hogsheads were found to be of the
■ame description. It is not known
who committed the fraud, the 12
hogsheads being shipped to order,
consignees stand too high to be sus
pected. The Captain affirms he was
ignorant of their contents.
FROM HAVRE.
. Charleston Feb. 2, 1827.
We are indebted to Captain Grea
ton, of the ship Chehca, arrived yes
terday, for paris Papers to the 20th,
and Havre Papers the 23d of De
cember, both inclusive.
In adddition to these papers, from
which we make copious selections,
we have been favored with a copy
of (he speech of the Baron DE Da
mas, Minister of Foreign Relations
in the Chamber of Deputies, a trans
lation of which will be found below;
from which will be seen that France
unequivocally disavows all partici
pation in the war between Spain and
Portugal, and leaves Spain to extri
cate herself from her difficulties as
she can. The French troops too, ii
would appear, arc to be immediate
ly with drawn from Spain, with the
exception of the garrison of Ca
diz.
The receipt of the French Minis
ters Speech at Havre, which was
consul, red as rendering certain the
continuance of Peace, had an imme
diate effect upon the the market,
which remained much depressed,
when the Chelsea sailed.
Captain Easton, of the schr. Ann,
of Newport, (R I ) arrived here
yesterday in the schr. Saluda , from
Havana, has furnished us with the
following particulars of the loss of
his vessel! and the conduct of Pira
tes on that coast:—
The Ann, on her passage from
Newport (R. I.) for New-Orleans,
was lost on Key Cruizdel Padra on
the 20th January The vessel struck
at 8 in the evening, knocked off her
rudder, and by day light noxt morn
ing had bilged. The capt and crew
abandoned the vessel in their boats,
at half past 7, A. M. inconsequence
of the approach of pirates; they pro
ceeded in the boats for Havana, and
when within 8 leagues of the port,
fell in with a Spanish drogger. The
wind blowing strong ahead, and fall
ing to leeward, they had to make the
best bargain they could for a pas
sage, which resalted in giving their
boats in payment. They arrived in
Havana on the 25th of January, H
B. M Sloop of war Beagle boarded
the schr. they day after Capt. Eas
ton left her, and took her masts out
every thing else had been taken by
pirates; and the officers of the Bea
gle, .supposed, all hands were mur
dered, until on her arrival at Havana
they learned they had arrived there.
The Beagle reported the capture by
pirates of a British brig bound for
Jamaica, which was taken into a har
bor a few miles distant from where
the Ann was wrecked. The pira
tes murdered two of the crew, and
wounded the captain; capt. and mate
were confined ashore in separate
rooms of a hut. The brig was also
plundered, but the timely arrival of
tbc Beagl- prevented tho pirates car
rying off many of her articles —those
obtained bv the Beagle were placed
on board the brig, and with her as
sistance sails were bent, a crew put
on buard, av.d with the capt. and
mate she sailed for Matanzas.

ceived from other persons. In ad
dition to a full use of these paper.-,
which are now at Mount Vernon, Mr.
Sparks will profit by a mass of mate
rials for Revolutionary History,
which he has gathered by a person

offices in the old States, as well as
from various private sources. The
records, correspondence, and other
papers of the old Congress, are pre
served in the Department of State, to

With these advantages and i*»r

a national interest, and constitute a
most valuable addition to our polit

Anecdote ok Dr. Franklin.
The Doctor was walking one day
on Front-street, near Chesnut-street,
in the city of Philadelphia, at the
dawn ot our Revolution, when he
was thus accosted by a Tar :
“Is your name Ben Franklin?” Yes
“Are you the man who invented the
saw-dust pudding?” Yes, replied the
Doctor. “ Then” said the sailor,
“for God’s sake don’t give the receipt
tojmake it to old F * * * * *, our
merchant, as he willfeedall h,s crews
on it ”
The story ofthe saw-dust pudding
aiiter dictum, wheat bran pudding,
arose irv--this manner. The Doctor
had conducted an independent pa
per in Philadelphia, which gave of
fence to a class who wanted to rule
every body in their own way , and
the heads of this party, some fifteen
or twenty, informed the Doctor that
they would frown him down, unless
he would submit to the curb The
Doctor proposed to explain, and fix
ed the time at his own house, where
the gentlemen were invited to dine.
He requested his lady to employ two
pence in the purchase of a peck of
wheat bran, and to make two pudd
ings of it—one for each end of the
table, as he was to have fifteen or
twenty friends to dine with him. —
The company met —the two pudd
ings were served on table, without
any other dishes—the company sat
down, and each friend was served
with his slice of pudding. Th< ir
curiosity led them to try it—they ex
amined each other’s countenances,
and at length were satiated with the
pudding. Friends, says the Doctor,
will you be helped to more ? No,
they all replied, we have enough of
your puJding, But what means
this ? Why, replied the Doctor, it
means to tel! von that these two
puddings cost (wo pence, and fifteen
friends say they have enough.—
Know then, that as long as Benja
min Franklin can satisfy fifteen
friends with two pence, he never
will sacrifice the independence of
his paper.
A cunning client. —Sixteen persons
at Gretna have been defrauded by a

The Editor of the Utica Sentinel
says, a respectable inhabitant of the
Town of Frankford, called at his
Office last week, and stated to him
the following facts :
As several laborers were working
in a field belonging to Mr. James
Browning, on tnrning up the earth
they discovered a large quantity of
fathers. On further examination
they found it to be a solid and com
pact bed of 14 feet long and 10 in
breadth, composed of nothing but
feathers, part of them somewhat de
cayed, but a considerable quantity
quite perfect and in a good state of
preservation. The depth of the bed
is not precisely ascertained, but it
has been found by digging to extend
as low as 4 feet. How they came
there is conjecture. The facts are
vouched for by several highly res
pectable men, and we leave the sub
ject to the speculations ofthe curious
in such matter?.

The same generous enthusiasm
prevails throughout Europe, in Lx -
half of the Greeks, that we have re

concert is advertised at which the
orchestra will consist of nearly five
hundred persons ! In Basle (Swit

BALTIMORE, Jan. 25.
Intelligence from Hayti received
by the editor of the Genius of Uni
versal Emancipation renders it high
ly probable that the concerns of the
Island will in a short time assume
a character of importance in the po
litical world. A letter of the 15th
December states that “The Govern
ment of Hayti has declined giving
France the advantage of half duties:
and it is conjectured, by some, that
Baron Makau will visit us with a for
midable force.”
It is probable that the fleet pre
paring at Brest, may have a destina
tion very different from that given to
it by the opposition prints in Paris,
which generally connected its equip
ment with the political disturbances
in Portugil, and omitted to mention
or seemed to forget that the Com
mercial regulations between France
and Hayti had not assumed a charac
ter quite as permanent as the French
diplomatists imagined.—We aem
ber that the Paris ministerial papers
claimed much credit for the Govern
ment in the great foresight and poli
tical sagacity evinced by the ministry
in its negotiations with Ilavti, sup
posing that cunning had accomplish
ed what force could not effect.

It is intended that the Hccla shall

th company, in two divisions, will
pursue the main objects of the entcr
prizc. with boats constructed for
the purpose. Capt. Parry and Lieut
Ross will proceed directly towards
the Pole, and get under it if possible
while Lieut. Foster, in command of
another party, will branch out in a
different course, to fiind out, if he
can, into what part of the northern
sens the whales, which of late years
have become scarce in those places
which they formerly frequented, have
now fixed their ahodi- At Spitz
bergen, the boats, will be placed up
on sledges, and drawn along by such
animals as may be met with (Shet
land ponies, as ws have before sta
ted, will probable be used in the
first instance,) and inctise of failure
of animals for the purpose the crew
will drag the boats until they come
to open water, when the barks will
be launched from their sledges and
rowed in their proper clement; and
thus alternately serve the purposes
of land carriages and aquatic barges.
When the respective parties have
made such observations and resear
ches as they may be enabled to ca
complished, they will return in a sim*
ilar manner to tho Hecla, and the
objects ot the Expedition being com

The House of Representatives of
Massachusetts have instructed a
committee to inquire into the expe
diency of supplying all the common
schools in the State with the Decla
ration of Independence, the Consti
tutions of the United States and Mas

well Address.
This plan we believe originated
in New Hampshire, and a most ex
cellent one it is. Too great care
cannot be taken to instruct the ri
sing generations in a knowledge of
their rights and theiP duties. Tho
torce of early impressions and of ear
ly principles is as generally acknowl
edged felt, a..d the almost sacred
excellence of the instruments above
alluded to, well entitle them to the
early and intimate acquaintance o
every American youth. A great
deal of time is, if not wasted, at least
turned to poor account, in most
schools, by the pupils reading as an
exercise, abstract, and to them un
interesting compilations The same
end would be as well uch ieved by
transferring their attention to the
history and constitutions of their
own State and Nation, in the sup
port and enforcing of wiiich they will
all have an important part to act.

Napoli di Romagna, 13th Oct. —
An English vessel arrived yesterday
from Constantinople, brought to the
Committee of the National Assem
bly a despatch from Mr. Stratford
Canning, in which that Minister
says: —
“That he had received the instruc
tions which he expected from bis
“Government concerning an arrange
“ment between the Turks anu
“Greeks, and that \ they contained
“precise directions ,to make to the
"Turkish Governments proposals
“founded upon t tip demands oi
“Greece; that the negotiations - be
tween Ru-sia and the Porte would
"close on the 7th Oct. and that he
"would apprize the M mbers of tin

"case of an amicable adjustment
"of the dilficuUica between tbetwo
Empires, the Russian Ambassado'
“would immediately go from Ack< t

•‘a close as soon as practicable th.
difficulties of Greece.”
The despatch was signed “your

Nothing appears to have trans
pired respecting the intentions ot
the French Government in regard to
the recent measures of the British
Government for supporting Portugal.
The French Cabinet held Jong ses
sions daily, and the stocks had fallen
about three per cent. The Etoile
published the whole details, and Mr.
Canning’s speech, without one word
of comment.
The letters from Havre stale that
no excitement had been produced
there by the intelligence from En
gland, as it was belived the proceed-
the British Government were
adopted with the knowledge and
sanction ol the French Cabinet.—
The Havre market was not affected
by the news.
On the ether hand, it is stated, or
intimated, in the Journal d'j Com
merce, that great dissensions exist
in the French Cabinet that the par
ty attached to the Jesuits is the
most powerful, and will not coincide
in the pacific designs of the Minister
Mr. Villele—and that war will
certainly ensue.
The same paper states, that 2000
stand of arms for the Royalists who
have entered Portugal, were furnish
ed from the French garrisons in Patn
peluna, and with the knowledge; of
the French Ambassador at Ma
drid.
There are no latter advices from
Portugal than were received from
England. The papers contains the
particulars of the capitulation of
Braganza to the Royalists, who act
in the name of Don Miguel
Don Miguel is said to have issued
a declaration, disavowing explicitly
the proclamation made in his name
by the Royalists when th. y entered
Portugal.
At Bayonne, Dec. 9, there was
much excitement in the Market, in

Salt. —From several experiments
made by Mr. Benuet, and detailed
at a late meeting of the Bath and
West of England Society, it appears
that salt is “not so valuable as a

dothat is, it is not a manure at
all, but merely a stimulant.
[ The contradictory opinions as to
the'ellicacy of salt on the soil, lead
to tho conclusion, that its utility can
not lie depended on ; and that the
prospect of benefit is not sufficient
to counterbalance the expense. ]

. ZEBULON, Feb. 4th 13*7.
Messrs. Editors, —
Since the Surveyors, west of the new
1 1 eaty line have been stopped, and their com*
■ sses taken from them, it has been industri
ously report- and that I instigated tlie Indians
to the commission of that act. The follow
ing facto—the most material of whieh caa be
establisned by the testimony of hundred* of
t..e citizens of Pike,—will demonstrate the
laisc and calumnious nature of this cliaree
and would cover with shame (were they ca
pable of any such sentiment) th miscreants
who have been instrumental in giving it ex
istence and circulation. At the close of the
Legislature, I left Milledgeville, and reached
home on the 24th of December, from which
time until the 3d, of January, it is well known
to all my neighbors in Zcbulon that I never
left the village. Now, the order of the Lit
tle Prince for stopping the Surveyors, is dated
the Ist day of January ; it is therefore morally
impassible that I couid have had any a-rency
in the production of said order. I left town
on the 3d instant,for my store on the Chatta
hoochie, 50 or 60 miles distance and arrived
on the sth. 1 was there informed that a party
of Indians were out for the purpose of stop
ping the surveyors, and that they had written
instructions to that effect—either from CoL
Crowel, or the Little Prince. I saw Mr.
Hendrick shortly afterwards, one of the
Surveyors, west of Brights, line who inform
ed me that oil the 26 or 29th December
lie was visited by the Indians and requested to
desist in miking any further surveys beyond
said line. He will also do me the justice to
say—that 1 advised him previously to his en
tering upon the duties of his appointment—in
case he should meet with any opposition— not
to desist from bin work, unless prevented by
force, or lus instruments were taken from him.
Myself and Mr. Joseph Williams, w hom I
believe to be a warm Troup man, met the
chiefs on their return from ttie Surveyors—
who informed us of what they had done. 1
asked them in the presence of said Williams
from whom they derived their authority whether
from the agent or the Little Prince ? They
replied from the latter, knit presented me hto
order. After I bud perused it, Island tho
interpretator enquired il they bad done right
or wrong. I toid him that as individuals
bound to execute the orders of their head
men they were not blumeablc and tint if
blame fell any where it must fall on those
under whose authority they ac«ed. One of
the chiefs then asked permission to leave tho
compasses at my Store, which I refused ; tel
ling him that I would not be in the least im
plicated in the transaction. The foregoing hi
in substance what passed between me and the
Indians relative to the stopping of the Sur
veyors, all of which transpired subsequently
to that event. Thus much I have deemed it
my duty to state to the public, and I presume
it will be sufficient to convince every honest
unprejudiced mind, that the report in circula
tion against me is a base and malicious false
hood.
