From the Savannah Republican, 21st last.
A friend has furnished us with the following
extract of a letter, dated
% Milledgeville, Nov. 15, 1820.
“A committee has been appointed to enquire
into the policy of the Penitentiary System, but it
is doubtful if any serious jittack is contemplated,
against it, as the Banks have principally claimed
attention. A resolution was passed a few days
since, giving to the committee on Banks power
to write to the presidents of the* different banks
iq the state, and obtain from themthe situation of
their respective institutions, and to advise with
them as to the means most expedient to enable
them to bear up against the influence of the Uni
ted States’ bank. On ihe next day,'the re-con
sideration of this resolution was proposed, and
the substitution for it of several otner resolutions
going tO specific points, directing the committee
to enquire into the manner in which the local
banks have been conducted, and authorising it to
send for the state directors and papers.—These
resolutions have been lying on the table for seve
ral days.” - ,

FROM THE PATRIOTS.
Extract of a letter to the editors of the Charleston City
. Gazette, dated
St. Thomas > October 26, 1820.
“I hasten t advise you that his Britannic ma
jesty’s ship Salisbury, touched off here on the
night of the 22d instant, with a Spanish schooner
under convoy, from La Guira, which seeing safe
ly into this port, she proceeded immediately to
join some other Spanish vessels, to which she
had given convoy from the aforesaid pert, and
was to accompany them to the northward of Poy
to Rico, on their voyage to Spain; the Salisbury
returned and anchored here yesterday;
By the arrival of the said vessels, letters have
been received from Caraccas and La Guira, to
the 15th instant, saying that geheral Bolivar has
addressed an official note, dated at “St. Christo

ing in substance that, “notwithstanding his first
communication to him, refusing to treat .upon
any other terms which might hot have for their
