Nothing is unimportant which concerns such distinguished persons as Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Cambreleng. In our last we gave an account of, Mr. \ an B., with his hat on, and Mr Van §., with his hat off; of his age in truq time, and his “age in apparent time ajso the effect of “time and study” upon hif head : also of the “few hairs on his head,” and the effect of “frost” upon them. When the distin guished Senator mef*witli this accident of having.r]Jiis hair frostbitten, we have not learnod. We also described him as “un der the middlo size,” which is also said to peeping in at the window, to witness the interesting spectacle,) “for this reason, 5a id Mr. V. B.; a most exorbitant duty is laid on Foreign cheese, in order to pro mote the manufacture of the domestic ar ticle. Now I hold, that making cheese is a thing, which the States have reserved to themselves, over which Congress has no control, and I have determined to set my face aj ainst this constructive usurpation.” “By not setting your teeth into the domes tic article,” inti rrupted Mr. Cambreleng, with a laugh, in which the company hear tily joined. Catnbreleng, by the way, is the wag of the party. To this jesting remark of Mr, Cambre leng, Governor Burton, who was pres ent, said aside, “You’d have your match to set-your teeth in this, any how ; it is the real white oak.” Mr. Cambreleng caught the last words, and added, “You might have said live oak, Governor,” pointing, in fact, to some in dications of vitality. Another general laugh followed this sally. “Bur, joking apart,” said the venerable Macon, when the laughter had a little sub sided, “Mr. Van Bur ;n .is right. I should like to know, in what part of the Consti- j faculty to conceive of any indemnity which earthly honours or earthly wealth can of fer, for an act of treachery to be commit ted by a man who has grown grey in the service of his country—the place of his nativity, and from which he has received nothing but kindness and honours—Sus- friends enlisting under that standard.

Their usual mode of travelling was in the stage coach es, but wherever steam boat conveyance was to be had,they are understood to have preferred it,asjmore expeditious and econ omical—a pleasing proof of their attach ment to RepiAlican principles. Mr. Van B., however, 'ftvas observed to he very cautious how |!ie approached the boiler, and was once heard to observe, in the “most persuasive and insinuating manner,” that “there had lately been a most distres sing accident on board the Oliver Ells worth as she was coming down the river from Hartford.” We should not per haps, have policed this remark, had not Mr. Cambreleng followed it up with a look, full “of genius and application.” at the sound «f the word Hartford, which carried us back to the Convention and all its horrors.; Mr. Cambreleng said notb- ren, I thank you for vindicating ‘>hi-s re served right’ to the individual States.

This ! with the deepest sympathy and regret, he ing but plainly though' that the steamboats were a vorv unsafp conveyance, out of the patriot States. We have never seen a per son whose silence was so oracular as Mr. Cambreleng’s, Each of the gentlemen, is furnished With a large travelling coat, which, in cold or wet weather, or towards night-fall, he usually pu's on. In truth, we know nm how they couhl stand justified to their con sciences, should they, bv anv want of at tention to their health, deprive their coun try, at this crisis, of their valuable servi ces. In putting on their coats we were struck with strong macks of individuality of character. Mr. Y. B. held the collar of his with his right hand, thrust the lpft arm fully up the sleeve, as far as it would go, then liilf inclining his shouMers, that the light drop downwards, put his right lack to the right arm hole, and drew other sleeve with a grace and ad dressee have never seen equalled. We happened to have a second hand watch in oik fob, and can assure the public that one minute and thirteen seconds onlv elapsed from thr* time M r . V. B. commenced till be nfiished this operation. Mr. Cambre leng, on the other hand, with the readv careless manner ofa“well bred buckskin.” clapped bis bands in the two arm holes, and whisked his coat round,over his head, sailor fashion, in seven seconds. Mr. Y. B. looked at him archly, and said,“you are g n tting quite ad-oif, Cambreleng, in lint.” Mr. V. B..in this gentle hint about turning his coat, was supposed to allude to Mr. Cambreleng’s letter about ‘State Bights.’ written so soon after asserting the right of Congress to endow deaf and dumb hospitals, relieve the sufferers at Alexan dria, and carry the pension svstem to its full extent. To this sally of Mr. V. B., C unbreleng made no reply, but raised his eves towards him with a look that seemed to snv, •‘thank vnu for nothing.” Both the gentlemen’s coats were made loose and ea sy, the lining of as good quality as the ex terior, and capable of being shifted, and worn either side out, as may be most con venient. A most remarkable instance took place at Mr. Macon’s breakfast, of the insinua ting address of Mr. V. B., which, at the same time, gave Mr. Cambreleng an op portunity of shewing the reach of his “ge- i.ius and application ” We take the great est pleasure in living these interesting particulars before our readers. M*\ Ma con’s breakGst consisted of coffee, corn bread, i cliee.se sons never eats cheese, having a natural antipathy to it. Mr. Macon, in the true iniquitous tax was first imposed in 1790, and was then 4 cents per pound. It has since been raised to nine. For every pound of cheese, therefore, eaten in the country, the poor oppressed consumer pays to the pampered dairy interest nine cents It is computed, that the inhabitants of the United States eat, one with anoth er, three pounds of cheese, each, per an num. Taking our population at 12 millions this is 36 millions pounds. Nine cents a pound on this quantity gives the enormous sum of $3,230,000 annually paid to pam per the che'ese-makinginterest of the coun try. Again, but for this iniquitous tariff, 36 millions of pounds of cheese would be annually imported, at about 10 cents per pound, and principally, through the port of New York. Here is a .capital of millions of dollars, in the single article of cheese, withdrawn from commerce, and all to gratify the overweening avarice and monopol izing spirit of the cheese manufac turers. Such are the burdens laid upon us. It is therefore peculiarly gratifying that the Patriot States’ are awake to the common danger.” The company were astonished at this display of Mr.-Cambreleng’s “genius and application,” and congratulated each oth er that chance had brought these eminent travellers (whose object is health and rec reation, not politics,) to enligh'en the grat ified citizens af Warren, N. Carolina. Mr. V r an Buren, in rising from the ta ble, observed, that when he had finished “the improvement of the printing presses” of the country', he should goto work with the cheese presses; and he believed, for his own part, that if Mr. Clay had not thrown away the Colohial Trade,the Brit ish Government would have admitted our milk and cream into the West Indies, where we could have got bills of exchange to pay for imported Stilton and Glouces ter. This-conception of shipping cream to the tropics Was too much for Mr. Cam breleng, who looked reproachfully to Mr. Van Buren for invading his province. Mr. Van Buren however, returned him a wink, as much as to say, “I know my auditors;” and in fact the company broke up in the firm belief, that if Gen.” Jackson could be made President and Van Buren Secreta ry of State, we might ship cream to Bar- badoes and Antigua. DINNER AT ANNAPOLIS, Given to Mr. Barbour, Secretary of War. Our distinguished Guest Governor Bar bour, Secretary of War;—His faithful pub lic services entitle him to the gratitude and confidence of the American people. After the above toast was drunk, Mr. Barbour rose and delivered the following address. Fellow Citizens,*—! rise to thank you. Your most kind reception, and the favour able sentiment with which my name has been connected, and so flatteringly recei ved by the company, penetrate me with the profoundest gratitude. After a thirty years public service, during which it was mv lot to occupy stations of great respon sibility, the approbation of my country men is the highest reward—that vhich has been just expressed, by the highly respec table inhabitants of Annapolis, I shall treasure up among my most gratifying re collections. And although in the colour ing given to those services, I trace the hand of partiality and kindness, I will do sees prevailing elsewhere, famine or in testine confusion, or a more to be depre cated evil, the death like repose of despo tism, here he sees this country in the full fruition of every blessing consistent with man’s condition. Plenty in our dwellings —Tteace through all our borders—the law and the constitution sovereign over all— the government felt only in its beneficence —education encouraged—internal im provements every where progressing with an astonishing rapidity, creating new bonds of union, by conquering physical barriers of separation—the human mind disen thralled from ancient prejudices, is pro gressing with gigantic strides, and every day exhibiting trophies of the enlarge ment of its empire, either in a prodigy to excite admiration, or in some discovery to ameliorate the condition of man. And finall if true to ourselves, with the bles sings of Providence, we have a destiny before us, whose like no kindred tongue or language has seen, or even sketched in fancy. Let us then, with devout Jhnd grateful heaits, offer up our thanks to that Providence who has so mercifully {dis pensed to us tlmse unnumbered blessings. To murmur amidst their enjoyment, UFtO call down the avenging hand of God’as a punishment for our ingratitude—and we must differ, if that indeed be our ine vitable lot, let us differ as freemen—let us practice towards each other forjiea ance and respect—let us not drug the cup of social intercourse with abuse ancj un charitableness—but maintaining our opin ions with decency and fn*nness, refer the decision of the contest t*> the justice of Heaven, with an ardent prayer, that vie- tnrv mavhp tKnco | Marquis of Anglesca. | Duke- of Devonshire.

Permit me to conclude by offering you a sentiment: Annapolis.—Distinguished as the thea tre of one of the most important events in human annals. It is here that Wash ington completed his character as a patriot soldier, and gave to the world a rare and sublime example of the final triumph, in his own person, of the citizen o^erthe successful General The Opposition, which is boasted of being “organized” against this Adminis tration, so far as it disregards measurq$ial together, places its hostility on the as sumption of the existence of a bargain or intrigue connected with the late Presiden tial Election. myself the justice to say, that I at least ioae «'ake, boiled eggs, bacon and j endeavoured to justify tlie confidence with M -.

In mv present situation, and on an oc- mentmning as a reason, his natural dis- ask for myself and the distinguished citi like, he told Mr. Macon, in the most in sinuating and winning manner, that “lie did not eat cheese of kite.”—“And whv d>» ?” inquired the venerable Macon.— “Whv, for this reason,” said Mr. V. B. ; and here you should have seen him as we did (for the principal inhabitants of the place, ourselves among the number were zens with whom I am associated, is that reasonable share of confidence to which we are entitled for our past conduct, thro’ lives now nearly spent, and for the pledg es of fidelity which we offer by our share in those great interests involved in the faithful administration of the public af fairs, I thank God that I have not the Of any. such bargain wo have expressed utter disbelief, from the first amount that it was changed against the President and the Secretary of State. We thought, at the time, that Mr. Clay’s vote was such as he could not help giving without a forfeiture of all cheractar for political consistency, n^-t to speak of any persoual feeling which may or may not have entered into the matter. The pre tence of the existence of such a bargain, however has been gravely set up, and up on that ground the Combination, which has also been boasted of, denominated the present Admifiistration “the Coalition.” If there was any improper understands ing between these two high publiq officer the evidence ofit was the appointment of Mr. Clay to the office of Secretary of State. The barrier which the Constitu tion has erected against such coalitions is to be found in the power of the Senate of the Lnited States to control Executive appointments. The appointment of Mr. Clay was the consummation of the fraud bargain, or intrigue, (had it existed) which is now alleged as a reason for opposition to the present Administration, Tight or wrong. If there was evident wro4g in the appointment, there was certainly^collu sion on the part of those who gave it vali dity by confirming it. The" Delaware Journal furnishes, just now, quite apropos, a copy of the Yeas and Nays on that ap pointment; at which we confess we were surprized; for, although we published them at the time, it was before any “concen tration of sentiment” took place here, and of course before we thought ofthe alleged “ coalition” being made the ground of op position, much less of certain of our Lord High Admiral, Mastergeneral of theOrd- nance, Lord Chamberlain of the Household.

The acceptance, indeed, of the post of Lord Chamberlain by his Grace the Duke of Devonshire is ihe best proof of the in tended concurrence of the noble Marquis, and that of those moderate friends (to whom we yesterday alluded) who usually act with him.

Lord Lyndhurst, the new Lord Chan cellor, accompanied by the other Judges and Legal Dignitaries, &c. &c. walked in grand procession to Westminster-Hall, on the 2d nit. to open the commission, which attracted a large concourse of peo ple in Parliament-street. His Lordship was also attended by Mr. Canning, and all the leading members of the new Ministry. The oaths of Office were administered by Mr. Wilbraham. The King of England is stated to have presented the Earl of Eldon with an ele gant Gold Cup, in token of his Majesty’s sense of the able and faithful services of the Noble Lord.

Y. Courier. True religion gives an engaging delica cy to our manners, which education or na. ture may mimic, but can never attain t 0 . A sense of our infirmities and insufficiency makes us modest. A sense of divine prej. ence makes us decent and sincere. { sense of our corruptions makes us humble. A sense of divine goodness and mercy makes us obliging and compassionate, sense ofimmortality makes us cheerful and happy. True religion is a principle n f heavenly peace and light within us, which expands itself over the human frame and conduct, and sheds light and beauty on all around us. At ease within ourselves, w £ cannot give others trouble ; when the mas. ter is God, the servant is godlike, and f our conversation be on heaven, the graces of heaven will dwell on ourlips, and shine forth in our actions. Religion where it is sincerely embraced, gives contentment and patience to the sick, joy to the peni tent, strength to the weak, sight to the blind and life in death itself. AUGUSTA. THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1S27. (T?* The GEORGIA will be regularly issued on COURIER Mondays and some present purchases.” Paris, april 24. We have conversed with a gentleman who has recently returned from Constan tinople, whither he had proceeded in an official capacity. He intimates that pre vailing conjectures with respect to Greece are in a great measure erroneous, and that none of the European Governments have made use ofthe strong language imputed to them; their interferance has arisen from a wish to prevent a further effusion of blood, and restore tranquillity to tnat un fortunate country; but they have not man ifested any wish to aggrandise their terri tories at the expense of the Porte; they have not denied that Turkey is fully en titled to subdue her rebel subjects by force of arms, and as long as she will be able to send a sufficient force into Greece that may offer any chance of attaining the pro posed end, it will be utterly out of the power of any States of Europe to disre gard the principle which forms the basis of every civilized nation—namely a right to put down any attempts that may be made by their subjects to shake off. if you nlease to call it so, their yoke. The different Ambassadors have exerted every means in their power to induce the Turkish Min isters to come to some definitive arrange ment with the Hellenists; an arrangement that might prove beneficial to both pat ties; for instance, that Constitutions should be granted to them, guaranteed and T'hursdays, precisely at 2 o’clock, P. M. and it is hoped all Advertisements will be handed in, at least, by 12 o’clock on these days. The Hon. Daniel Webster is elected Senator in Congress from Massachusetts, for the ensuing six years. Mr. Clay, Secretary of State, has left Washington, for his domicil in Kentucky. Here is patronage.—Mr. Canning, as- Prime Minister of England, has at his dis posal, offices, whose salaries $800,000 per year. amount to Contrary to what we stated in a late paper, Mr. Canning’s birth and parentage are highly respectable. We have seen in the Savannah papers, a notice by Wm. C. Daniel, Commission er, for the enterprising mechanics whi may be disposed to engage in the con tracts for improving the entrance to the Citv of Savannah. These contracts, wo believe, are offered under the appropria tion, by the last Congress, of $50,000, for removing the obstructions in the river be low Savannah, which is proposed to fce effected by tho, fulfilment of three con- protected by the five principal Powers of I tracts : —The first requires a channel tube Three days later from, London. CHARLESTON, JUNE 18. We have been favored by Capt. Thompson, ofthe ship Fame, with Lon don papers of the 1st, 2d, and 3d May, being three days later than our advices via Liverpool. The news they contain from France, and the Debates in Parliament, at the opening of the Session, are interesting. A spirit of discontent against the King of France and his Ministry appears to be extending itself—at a review j n the Champ de Mars, on Sunday, 29th April, strong feelings were manifested by the National Guards, who uttered cries, not only a- gainst the Minister Villele, but against the Sovereign himself. The circumstance had produced much excitement in France. Discipline, (says the Etoile,) has re ceived a wound ; the father ofhis country should hear nothing but praises fjrom his children.” The detachments ofthe Na tional Guard on duty, had been replaced by other troops, and an Ordonnance had been published, but not executed, for dis banding the whole of that corps. A large portion of the paper ofthe 2d, is occupied with the Speeches of Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, and others, ofthe preceding evening. The Sun says that the Speech of Mr, Peel was distinguished by the dis- playof much talent, and that it had filled his admirers; with exultation and hope—- but they particularly call the attention of their readers to that of Mr. Canning, espe cially those who are interested in the Ca tholic Question. He does not make it a Cabinet Question, but, as he informs Par liament, the very fact ofhis being in office must promote its ultimate success. The House of Lords met on the 2d ult. when Lord Lindburst was introduced as Lord Chancellor, and took his seat on the Woolsack. The number of Peers pre sent is said to have been greater than ever before remembered. Immediately after the organization of the House for the despatch of business, the subject of the late change in the Min istry was brought up, when the Earl of Eldon, and the Duke of Wellington, ex- plaine tat length the causes which had in-, duced them to resign their respective of fices. They were followed by Earl Europe to whom any infraction in the treaty should be referred, and their de cision as arbitrators he deemed irrevoca ble. This plan mav be thought Utopi an, and the different States are aware that it will he a kind of humiliating r.ircnm- stancefnr Turkey; but there is no nthe» resource left, as all the Foreign Ambassa dors, with the exception of the Austrian, have declared, that as soon as Greece shall have expelled the armies which are still on her territory, the Powers w : ll then act as they have recently done with respect to the American States that belonged to Spain; enter mto a commercial treaty with them, and recognise their indenendance. The gentleman we have alluded to, states that the opinion ofseveral diplomatic per sonages in Constantinople is. that a terrific blow will he struck bv Lord Cochrane.— This enterprizing Nobleman had, it is as serted, two plan® In agitation, and one of which he is determined to effpet; the first would be to proceed with his fleet to the shores ofEgypf, where he would land, and lew contributions along the whole line of coast, and this he will be able to perform, on account of the facility afford ed him by his steam vessels; the Egypti an forces now in Greece would then be withdrawn. The second plan, which we think Lord Cochrane is more likely to pursue, is,tosail to Tenedos, pass the Dar danelles into the sea of Marmora, and then make a dash through, the Straits of Constantinople into the Black Sea. This may appear a bold undertaking, and a wild scheme, but let it be remembered, that many years ago Admiral Duckworth although having to contend against the the skill of General Sebastiani, and a number of French engineers and artillery officers, performed this feat, and why should not the hero ofthe Basque Roads, aided by the enthusiastic bravery of a people struggling for liberty, be able with his steam-boats, to compass the same ends? The shores of the Black Sea are rich, fer tile, aud unprotected; they will afford a a rich harvest, you may rely upon it to the brave crew ^hRt accompany Lord Cochrane. LONDON, APRIL 30. Gouging.—The most justifiable act of this kind of which we have heard is the following : A Kentuckian belonging to a surveying party, under an officer of U. S. Engineers, swimming in St. Johns River was seized by a large alligator and taken under water. In a short time the Kentuc kian "and the alligator rose to the surface, the latter having the right leg of 'he for mer in his mouth, and the former having his thumbs in the eyes ofhis antagonist. The officer immediately gave orders to his party, who were in a boat a few yards from the combatants, to go to the relief of their comrade, but the Kentuckian per emptorily forbade any interference, saying give the fellow fair play.” It is needless to add that the gougar obtained a com plete victory. Having taken out one of the eyes ofhis adversary, the latter, in made, 120 feet wide and 18j feet deep, up to the city; and the other two require two dams to be built, one between Hutch inson’s and Fig’s, and the other between Hutchinson’s and Argvle’s Islands. Sa vannah is becoming the concentrating point of a very strong public interest.— Every day gives us some neiv evidence of it. We see her rising from her late de pression with the vigorous bound ofyouth. The Savannah papers of the 11th, state that 51 vessels were then in her harbor, 26 of which were for foreign ports, princi pally Liverpool; and we have seen fre quent notices that large ships had sailed from northern ports to obtain freight in Savannafc. The exports of the last eight months, exceed the exports of the same period last year, 24,000 bales of Cotton, 2,464 tierces of Rice, and 86 hogsheads pfTobacco; and being an increase over those of the same period in 1^25, of 71,- i51 bales of Cotton, 5,427 rierces Rice, and 406 hogsheads Tobacco. The for eign exports of Cotton this season fall short of the last but 468 bales. We have been too unwell to ascertain this morning the amount shipped from Augusta to Sa vannah this season, but we stated on good authority in our last, that 20,619 bales went thither, from our enterprising little neighbor, Hamburg. Besides the dozen Steamboats, which now paddle between the cities of Savannah and Augusta prin cipally, a new one is building here, and in New-York, an elegant one is in prospect to ply by the side of the George Wash ington and Carolina, so as to give us a Steamboat passage up and down the river, every other day. • We remember, and the day has net long since passed by, when it took us four days to go to Savannah by the Stage. We now receive its papers three times per week, and the Washington goes down and comes up frequently withir. the week, having gone down in 24 hours, 17 hours 25 minutes running, and coice up in 35J hours, including all delays on the river. We might present several other interesting evidences of existing and prospective greatness for Savannah, such as the Ogechee Canal, and other contem plated internal improvements, which will operate principally on the prosperity of this point of our sea-coast; but we have said enough to show, how strongly the public attention is attracted to the great place bf ultimate deposit for ihe multipli ed products of the immense back country of Georgia, and the richest districts of South-Carolina, f 9 i
