Capt. Grandisox:
Dear Sir:—By publishing the following
Ticket for the ensuing Legislature, you will
oblige MANY VOTERS.
PEOPLE’S TICKET.

REPRESENTATIVES.
Major JONATH AN THOM AS.
Doctor JAMES HOLMES.
The Proceedings of the Anti-Tariff Meet
ing in Glynn County, came too late for pub
lication in this week’s Gazette. They shall
appear in our next.
TOTHS EDITOR OF THE DARIEN GAZETTE;
Sir:—When 1 consented that my name
should be announced as a Candidate for the
Legislature, it was ordy because 1 understood
that all parties would unite on the Ticket
first publishsd, and that the harmony of the
County would remain undisturbed.
In this I find I was deceived, and have
therefore to request that you will omit my
name in the list of Candidates. I am unwil
ling to be the cause of again producing that
state of excitement which has so lately sub
sided. Your obedient ser’vt.

[communicated.]
The undersigned conceives it due to his
constituents to inform them, that he is not a
candidate lor re-election as Representative
from Georgia to the 21st Congress of the U.
States. He justly appreciates the confidence
that has been reposed in him, and will che
rish in ietirement, the recollection ol the li
beral approbation that has been awarded to
him, for his efforts to discharge the duties
of a Citizen, in situations to which he has
been called in support of the interests of his
country —duties, that he will be always rea
dy to perform, according to his abilities,
whenever emergencies may require them.
JOHN FLOYD.
Bellevue Place, Aug, 8, 1828,
Mr, Editor.— Permit me to ask His Honor
the Mayor, pro tem. through the medium of
your paper, -whoseprovince it is to see that the
Street Committee perform the duties designed
them? My reason for asking the question, is
simply this:—Last Sunday, coming into town
with Squire Lackland and his lady, for the
purpose of attending Parson Dunham’s
Meeting, our horses were bewildered in a
forest of the Bailey Pea and. fimson Trees ,
near the Court House; and had it not been
for the sound of the Grand Organ m the
Trinity Church, informing us of our proxim
ity to that magnificent edifice, I know not
how long we might have remained there.—
It is really shameful that in so populous a
city as Darien, the weeds in the streets
should be owed to exclude the houses!
from the view of visiters. Major McFigiing !
and his daughter, Miss Belona, were both
thrown from their Gig, by driving over a
Cow that was concealed in the maze of those
noxious weeds.
Palmetto Grove, Jlug. 11, 1828.
The Mutiny at Rio Janeiro. —The Colossus
from Rio Janeiro, has reached Boston. Cap- j
tain Bessom informs that it is difficult to give I
an adequate description of the bloody scene j
which occurred on account of the mutiny.— j
Women and children were in the barracks
when the foreign troops there were fired |
upon. A passenger afterwards saw eighty j
dead bodies in one heap. The killed were i
Stripped, and thrown promiscuously into one
common grave. There were a great num j
ber of foreign troops in the city; and those
not in the barracks appear to have been j
armed, & to have made a desperate struggle, i
Eleven Days Later from Eng- \
land.
The last sailing ship Mary Catharine, ar- 1
rived at Charleston on the 6. h inst. in 38 days
from Liverpool, bringing files of London pa- j
pers to the 26th, and of Liverpool to the 27th 1
>f June, both inclusive—together with the
London Shipping Lists to the 24th.
We are aorrv to find that the Cotton Mar
ket had declined at Liverpool—the imports
it will be seen, were heavy, while the sales
were comparatively light.
A postscript of a letter, dated Liverpool, ’
2lst June, says. “A bill is now before Parlia-)
ment to admit all sorts of Cotton, coming
through British possessions at a du'Y of Is. :
percwt. There is no doubt it wil pass. 1.
presume it has been suggested by the new j
Tariff/ its operation will more particularly j
favor British shipping.”
The Russians had crossed the Danube, j
with very slight resistance from the Turks; i
and an invitation from the Porte has been ;
forwarded to the English and French Am- !
bassadors, inviting them to proceed immedi- j
ately to the Turkish capital to treat for
peace.
It was expected that Parliament would be
prorogued, by the King, in person, about the
22d July.
Mr. Monck had presented a petition to
Parliament from Moses Levi, praying that
further religious freed.>m might be extend
ed to Jews—and the Morning Herald ex
presses its satisfaction that this oppressed
people are beginning to stir in this matter.
Portugal appears to be in a wretched situ
ation. A rumor of the latest date from Lis
bon, received via Paris, state 9 that Don Mi
guel had dispersed the Constitutionslists at
Oporto, by merely present ing himself before
that place—this account was not, however,
credited in England.—Spam appears to be
alarmed at the state of affairs in the sister
Kingdom, the Constitutionalists in the for
mer country being ready to avail themselves
of any opportunity to raise the standard of
revolt.
Mr. lluine appears to be indefatigable in
his endeavors to induce Parliament to abol
ish imprisonment for debt in England.
A dreadful disaster had occurred in the
Parish Church at Kelcaldy, by the falling
down of one of the galleries, which buried in
its ruins the multitude beneath. The num
ber of sufferers is estimated at 150, many of
whom were killed. The accident is imputed
to the unusual concourse which had assem
bled on that occasion to hear the Rev. Mr.
Irving.
FnvNCE.—An ordinance of the King has
just been issued, placing eight establish
ments, containing nearly 3000 pupils, under
the regime of the University, and taking
them out of the hands of the Jesuits. This
decree has been wrung from the King, seve
ral of his ministers threatening to resign if
it were not promulgated, and it meant to ef
fect the suppression of the obnoxious order.
The law relative to the press has been
passed by a large majority,- it is more liberal
than any of its predecessors. A commission
has been appointed to take into considera
tion M. de Pompiere’s impeachment against
the late ministers. Six of tile members of
it are decided liberals.
Five frigates, two brigs, a bomb ketch,
and thirty transports, sailed from Foulon on
the lltii, but their destination was not
known. The large force accompanying the
transports precludes the idea that they were
bound to Cadiz for the purpose of receiving
the French troops.
Attempt on the King of France. —On the
18th inst. a man named Piiuel made repeated
attempts to be introduced into the presence
of the King at St. Cloud. Being afterwards
apprehended in consequence of the violence
of his language, two loaded pistols, and a
quantity of powder and ball, were found up
on him. ft seems that the man is insane.
London, June 10 —half past seven o'clock. —
Prince Lieven had a long conference this
morning with the Earl of Aberdeen, on the
subject of the despatches received yesterday
from Vienna and Corfu Nothing further
had transpired than the English and French
Ambassadors are on no account to renew
the negotiations as to the ftraty of the 6th
July, without the confcurrence of Russia,- but
it i9 expected that Some arrangement for
the evacuation of Greece, by the Egyptian
and Turkish forces, will be acceded to by the
Turks; and it is announced th.t the English
and French Cabinets require that evacuation
as the first step towards a renewal of the
negotiations.
There are no later accounts from Vienna
than those received yesterday by Rothschild.
Viscount Itabazana, the Brazilian Minister,
is acting lor the Marquis of Palmella in his
absence. The Viscount appears to be rather
anxious as to the result of the expedition,
on account of the blockade of Oporto. But
I find that the Marquis Pulmeila and his com
panions intend to effect, a landing on any
part of Portugal, which may seem, at the
time to offer the greatest facilities.
Russia ami Turkey —lntelligence from the
East has been received up to the 2d inst.;
at which period the siege of Brahilow which
commenced on the 24th ult. was proceeding
with all possible taoidity, file Emperor,
in person, surveyed me ___ ■
morning of the 24ih, upon which occasion
the Turks took an opportunity of saluting
him with a fire from the ramparts, and seve
ral balls fell at the foot of the hill upon which
the Emperor had taken Ins stand; but, for
tunately, without doing bnn any injury.—
Having ascertained that the siege was tnak
! ing tile utmost progress that circumstances
would permit, and being summoned back to
1 the frontiers by important affairs, his Majes
ty proceeded to Bender, where he arrived
on the 26th ult. Notwithstanding Brahilow
is surrounded by Russians, who have de
stroyed the suburbs, and made several
breeches in the fortress which it was ex
pected would soon be practicable, the gar
rison appear determined to defend the place
to the last extremity. By sea the Russians
are said to have gained an advantage of no
j trifling importance, on the 27th ult. before
I the fortress of Anapo, where a naval engage
i ment took place, in which the Turks were
! defeated with the loss of 1200 men taken
j prisoners, 6 standards, and the whole of their
| flotilla. Anapo had also been bombarded
i thirteen days when the last accounts lefl. —
Up to the 25th ult. the Russians were still
j detained on the left bank of the Danube,
waiting for the subsiding of the water, before
; they attempted to cross the river; every
| preparation, however, had been made to
pass it at three points at the same time
j The force appointed for this purpose is sta
! ted at 30,000 men. The Turks, on their
; part, are not inactive, but have furnished the
[ fortresses on the right of the Danube, as
j well as those in Servia, with a sufficiency of
supplies from Constantinople, to impede, if
not entirely to hinder the passage of the
Russians over the Danube. That the con
test, after the crossing of that river, will as
sume a more sanguinary nature, there can be
no doubt; but whether the resources of the
Turks will enable them to protract it, can
not, in the present posture of affairs, be fore
seen. In the mean time, the capital remains
in the most perfect tranquility, and every
measure is taken to insure the safety of the
Franks. Two Pachasare gone to Adriano
pie with fifteen generals, and the Captain
Pacha, with fifteen men of war, is stationed
at the north entrance of the Bosphorus, and
this force will, it is said, be joined by twelve
fire ships which are now fitting up. Not
withstanding all these warlike preparations,
it is the opinion of many persons in Constan
tinople, that the Porte will yet accept the
convention of the 6th July, from the convic
tion that no other method remains for re
storing the alliance of France and England.
Among the ridiculous spectacles exhibit
ed in the world, next to that of “a rod with
a worm at one end and a fool at the other,”
moved up and down the sunny brooks or
silver ponds, to beguile the giant minow or
the whalelike shiner of the stre.ms, is that
of a gun on the shoulders of a huge boy of
thirty, accompanied by a powder flask find a
shot pouch, destined for the slaughter of the
poor robin. Your sportsmen creeping thro’
| the gtas, skulking behind hush and tree,
I planning ambuscades fur some little bird, so
I confident in its innocence and insignificance,
as to come too near to be an honest mark
for a pebble, is a glorious ami sublime sub
ject for the painter The still and stealthy
pace of the magnanimous hunter, the cau
tious approacn of the fowling piece to the
head of some merry little blackbird, perched
on the bush, spreading out his glossy wings
in the sun beam, and pouring out the fulness
; of Ins heart in a merry gush of melody, the
j deadly airn along the tube, the vivid Hash,

The .Miser’s Pvat/er.— Among a variety of
curious papers, of John Ward, of Hackney,
Esq. M. P. (who being convicted of Forge
ry, was expelled the House, and in the year
172?, stood in the pillory) there was found,
a few days ago, a paper in his own hand
; w riling, which, we think, may be very pro
perly entitled the Miser’s Prayer:
“Oh Lord, thou knosest that 1 have nine
houses in the city of London, and likewise,
that I have lately purchased un estate in fee
simple, in the county of Essex; I beseecli
thee to preserve the two counties of Middle
sex and Essex from ire and earthquakes,
and as I have a mortgage in Hertfordshire, 1
beg thee likewise to have an eye of com
passion on that countv, and for the rest of
the counties thou mavpt deal with them as
thou art pleased! Oh ford, enable the Bank
to answer all their bills, and make all my
debtors good men. wive a prosperous voy
age and return to the Mermaid sloop, be
cause I have insured it; and, k.s thou hast
said that the days of the wicked are but
short, ! trust in thee that thou wilt not for
get thy promise, as I have purchased an es
tate in reversion, which will be mine on the
death of that profligate young man, Sir J
L, —. Keep my friends from sinking, and
l preserve me from thieves and house-break-
J ers, and make all my servants so honest and
■ faithful that they may attend to my interest
and never cheat me out of my property,
night nor day.”
Ward was suspected of joining in a con
veyance with Sir John Blunt, to secure fifty
i thousand pounds of that Director’s estate,
j forfeited to the Soutl Sea Company, The
i Company recovered the 50,000/. against Mr.
! Ward, but he set up prior conveyances of
| his estate to his brotker and son, and con
i’ cenled all his personals, which were suppos
ed to be one hundwafcttftd fifty thousand
j pounds. These cotiijqßhees being also set
aside by a bill in chancery, Ward was impri
soned for many years.
Woman.—lt is, perhaps, the privi
lege of woman only, to extract the sting
of grief from others, by the gentle pa
tience with which she is taught by na
ture, to set (he example of meek en
durance. Her first step in the career
of duty, is generally by the bed of sick
ness or of suffering. There she hush
es helpless infancy to repose; and to
the infi'-mity of age supplies the sweet
ness of cheerful patience. It is her
province to smooth the angry passions
to allay the violence of intemperate
tean, to divert or soothe the querulous
ness of peevish, fretful tempers. It is
hers, in fine, to be a peace maker on
earth; and let her not disdain this her
Ctmrtwu _. r C
it. It has not the promise of the world’s
beatitudes or glories, but it is blessed,
and it is glorious nevertheless; and oh!
above all, let not those who ought to
cherish and foster these gentle virtues,
endeavor to stifle or eradicate them, by
substituting in their place the excite
ments of frivolous vanities, and the
empty cares of dissipation.
[ From ffaslitt’s Life of Napoleon.]
“Buonaparte seldom entered into
long conversations with women; nor did
the severity of bis chaiacter easily de
scend to gallantry. There were some
to whom he took an aversion, occasion
ally with reason, and often with no oth
er reason than that they had displeased
him. H sometimes paid them awk
ward compliments on their dress or
their adventures; it was one way ofeen
suring their manners. There was now
and then a talk of his attachment to
some women of the court; but these
were caprices of the moment, & those
to whom he showed most partiality had
no influence over him, at least in state
affairs. He was really fond of no one
but Josephine, notwithstanding the dis
proportion of years between them.—
Towards her, he was now jealous and
severe, now tender and confiding. She
answered with her whole heait to the
fondness of her husband; she support
ed his humors patiently, but could nev
er reconcile herself to his infidelities.
On the whole, they lived very happily
together. He was persuaded that he
owed his happiness to her, and she (elt
in the same manner towards him. She
had gone to drink the waters of Plom
bieres in Mossidor, in the year X.; he
grew weary of her assence, and wrote
her the most affectionate letters.—
When she returned, be went part of
the way to meet her, loaded her with
caresses, and brought her back in tri
umph to Malrnaison.
“In courts governed by women, the
prevailing tone is to be htriguing, light
and vain. Something worse than all
this was to be found in the history of
the past. The greater part of those I
who formed the court of the First Con- I
sul not having been early fashioned in j
a frivolous school of manners, discov- ’
ered their natural disposition, which |
was moral and good. Bonaparte wish- 1
ed for a certain decorum and gravity? j
tempered with elegance, politeness and
grace. Madam Bonaparte set an ex
ample of all this. It was no longer the
custom for men to boast of their ex
cesses, or to hold up their vices to ad
miration, as models of courtly refine
ment and of the ravior vivre. The Re
volution had undoubtedly tended to im
prove the morals; hut should the pte
judiced nr ill-informed he disposed to
j dispute this, they cannot deny that at
least it had produced a greater defer
ence to public opinion and attention to
appearance*. The First CousiiTmore
than once carried his solicitude on this
point to sevetiiy. lie had no children
of his own, but showed evetymark of
attention and kindness to those of his
wife by her former marriage. They
justified his regard by their excellent
qualities and their attachment. Eu
gene Beauharnois was lull of honor,
faithful and brave; Ilortense was mild,
amiable, and affectionate. By uniting
hei in marriage to his brother Louis,
the First Consul thought to reconcile
his political views with the happiness
of his step daughter.
In the midst of the reveries which
floated his mind respecting the stabili
ty and foundation of his dynasty, he had
iit'ie hope of heirs direct, and this mar
riage promised to supply them colla
tei ally. Neither Lucier, nor Joseph
Bonapaite at all relished the mutch.—-
Hortense became the mother of a bov.
Rumours without any foundation, and
quite absurd to those who knew any
thing of the peisons, were spiead a
lm ad on this occasion. This child was
pointed out by public opinion as the
presumptive heir to the consular pow
er, but he tlied a few years after to the
great mortification and chagrin of Bo
naparte, who wished to adopt him as
his successor. In the course of these
pages vvill be seen his opinions and ar
guments on the subject of the law pro
posed respecting adoption, and the ex
travagance and almost frenzy to which
he worked himself up in endeavoring,
by a mere fiat of the will, to plate the
child of adoption in the same degree of
proximity as the child of the same
blood and bone, will prove to a demon
stration, io ali those w ho have the least
insight into character or human nature,
that he was not, as had been grossly
pretended, the father of the child by a
spurious connection.
“The Fiist Consul could not set up
pretensions to be a perfect equestrian,
though on horseback he was daring to
imprudence. Nor could it be said of
him, according to the poet, that he ex
celled in guiding a chariot to the goal.
One day he was resolved to display his
skill in the park at St. Cloud, by diiv
ing a calash four in hand, in which were
Madame Bonaparte, her d*UKhi>v Ma
dame Du roc, Joseph Bonaparte, and
uie cuiisuv'cvinbaceres. At the gate
which separates the gaiden from the
Paik, he strut k agomci a post, lost his
balance, and was thrown off to a con
siderable distance. He strove \o rise,
fell down again, and lost his reco/^ c .
tion. The horses, in the mean firm,
which had runaway with the carriage,
weres'opped, ard the ladies were lift
ed out almost ready to faint. With
some difficulty the First Consul came
to liimsell, and continued to ride, but
inside the carriage. He had received
a slight contusion on the chin, and the
In Senate, 19 th December, 18*5.
WHEREAS it appears that the act entitled an act, passed on th 9th December, i824,
to alter and amend an act to impose an additional tax on Pedlirg and Itinerant Tra
ders, passed the 9 h December, 1819, has been generally evaded by Fe tters nd lunersnt
Traders, and no tax has been paid to the state by a large portion of thoae persons, from
the want of information on the part of the Comptroller General—

right wrist hail been a little hurt. On
returning home, he said *1 believe eve*
ry one ought to krep to his own pro
fession.’ He had Laplace, Monge, and
Beithelot to dme with him. He con
versed with them the whole evening, as
if nothing hud happened. Neverthe
less, he owned that he neyer thought
himself so near death as at this mo
ment. Madame Binaparte continued
extremely ill, and said in the course of
the evening: “At the instant ol his fall,
Bona pat te had Ilia eyes turned inward,
and I thought he was dead. He has
promised never to run the same risk,
again He has often been blunted for
Ins extreme carelessness on horseback,
but frightens every one who accompa
nies him,—Corvisait has been called
in, he did not think it necessaiy to let
blood. The I'irst Consul wishes that
this accident should not be tatked of.’*
A like accident is related to have
happened to Oliver Cromwell. Ho
had received, as a present from a Ger
man Prince, a set of six horses, remar
kable for their beauty and swiftness.
Having gone with his secretary, Thur
loe, to take a ride in Hyde Park, in a
light carriage, drawn by these horses,
he took it into his head to drive them
himself, not thinking i: would be more
difficult to manage halt a dozen horses
than to govern three kingdoms. But
the horses, spirited and untractable un
der the hand of their new driver, grew
restive and ran away with the cauiage,
which was soon overtimed. In this
fall, a pistol which Cromwell had about
him. went off, without wounding him.
The Protector was taken up, stunned
and bruised with his tail, hut less hurt
than Thurloe. If this is any thing more
than a mere casual coincidence, it
might seem as if usurpers, or thoso
who seized the reigns of government
into their own hands, have an ambition
to be charioteers, where there is a sense
of power, and of difficulty and dexteri
ty in directing it. Legitimate rulers,
from Nimrod downwaids, huve been
remarked to have a passion for hunt
ing, where they are carried ulong by a
violent borrowed impulse, and seem
like the natural lords of the creation.”
