MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1827.
07* The GEORGIA COURIER
will be regularly issued on Mondays and
Thursdays, precisely at 2 o’clock, P. M.
and it is hoped all Advertisements will be
handed in, at least, by 12 o’clock on those
days.
We had the promise of our Warehouse friends
to furnish us with the amount of Cotton received
by them respectively for one year, ending the first
of the present month, with the quantity now on
hand^ but few have gives us the statements soli-
cited. We also i equested the agents and owners
of Steamboats, who have shipped to Charleston,
to give us the amount sent to their respective offi
ces ; but although we have been at great person

ers. The first thing heard in the morning
is the random firing of guns, scraping of
fiddles, and boisterous mirth and congrat
ulations amongst the young rustics. By
seven or eight o’clock, sometimes earlier,
the IJopsesa commences. 1 he following
is the process. Each tavern is provided
with one or more fiddlers. Each hand
with a sweetheart, a wife or locum tennis.
The dance is a three or a six handed reel.
\ gentleman asks two others to join him,
they pay the fiddler a or a “ levy,"
and go to work with most huidablo zeal
and industry. The fiddler pi lys as if Ins
life dopended upon dispatch, end accom
panies his elbow with his fort ii the most
audible raps upon the floor, by way of
keeping time, The dancers, it nv-iy bo

the next gentleman, who goes op to his
i> ropoait tlm ceremony. Thus
they drink and dance until -iuqraUiaH
number of tones are played, when a fresh
party takes the floor, and the dance con
tinues. This is one of the principal oc
cupations of the day,
Evefv man considers it his right, if not
his duty, to go where he pleases, do as he
pleases, and pay ns little attention as he
pleases ; lienee it is the work of a moment
to form a line; but generally toward ten
or eleven o’clock, after no little noise and
confusion, the several companies are
formed into what is called a line. And here
i view is presented worthy the pencil of
Hogarth- Some with sticks, others with
a stick stuck into the muzzle of an old pis
tol the length of one finger, to represent
fire arms. The variety of tates displayed
in the uniform of the officers, it is not the
least amusing part of the spectacle. Iu
due season, the order is given to march to
some neighboring field or common, where
tho line is again formed. A few evolu
tions are attempted ami performed, each
in his own time, and after his own manner.
The army is marched two or three times
round and across the field in a pot-hook
line, and then marched back into- town
and dismissed, each wonderfully edified
and improved in military discipline. The
real business of the day is now commenc
ing good earnest-Firing guns,routing, dan-
cine, courting, fighting, and drinking.—
Vnd that the three latter are effectively
performed, the Attorney General, in due
season, receives ample testimony. This
is a Battalion day—training according to
law.
Extract of a letter received at Charleston, S. C. dated Key
West, May 25.
“ It is not generally known that there
exists through this harbour an outlet from
the Florida Stream into the Bay Mexico,
through which vessels drawing 12 feet may
pass in safety at low water. This pas
sage is about six miles in extent, and ves
sels, by passing through it, save dangerand
and the delay of going ronnd the Dry Tor-
tngas. Good pilots can. be obtained it Key
West, to carry vessels through. Yester
day the brig Bravo, one of Commodore
Porter’s squadron, entered this harbour
through this channel: she draws 12 feet
water.
ANECDOTE.
In a time of much religious excitement
and consequent discussion, an honest old
Dutch iarmer,ofthe Mohawk, was asked
his opinion as to which denomination of
Christians were in the right way to Heav-
en ?—“Veil den, (said lie) veil we ride our
wheat to Albany, some say dis is de pest
road, and some say dat is de pest; but I
don’t tink it makes much tifference which
road we take; for when we get dare, dey
never ask us which way we come—and it
is none of deir business-—if our wheat
good.
For the last three nights, we have had not a
little reason to apprehend the appealance of
lrost, it has been so unseasonably cold. Nankeen
and the thinner articles of dress have disappear
ed from the streets, and our citizens are more
appropriately dressed for November than June.
We have heard of a heavy fall of Hail in Abbe
ville District, So. Ca., which has probably been
more extensive, and may be supposed to have
some connexion with the temperature of our
weather.
A doubtful report has heen brought fiom Ma
deira, of a declaration of War between Spain and
Portugal. The Spanish army has re-advanced
to the frontiers of Portugal, and the Spanish Go
vernment answers the inquiry of that of Portu
gal, as to the cause of this movement, by saying
P.at it was owing to the assembling the large
torce of English and Portuguese troops towards
Estremadiira- Portugal has ordered the imme-
diale enrolment ot 12,000 men, to act as an army
of defence in opposition to the Spanish cordon
of observation.
Our riven- not
me pleasure, as usual, of announcing the fre
quent arrivals and departures of our Steamboats.
H e are inclined to think our Steamboat friends
have not, this year, reaped the golden harvest,
which at former periods fed their hopes and ani
mated their exertions. Our reasons for this be
lief are grounded on the uncertain and low state
of the river, and from the greater number of Pole
Boats and Lighters than usual. The light craft
have affected the interest of the Steamboat own
ers in their freights up and down the river, low
ering them by competition, and from their being
able to run, when the Steamboats were obliged
to be idle, they have monopolized a great propor
tion of the freight during a particular season of
the year. Merchants, fearful of delay if they
shipped by Steamboats, have given extravagant
prices to have no delay in the delivery of their
goods by smaller boats. The latter, at present,
swarm on our river like fishing craft on the Banks
of Newfoundland. We have heard of a predic
tion, that we should have seven years of low riv
er, but we believe the public did not put much
confidence in the prophecy, till a number of Gun
Boats were launched, in almost as quick succes
sion as minute guns, just below the South Caroli-
end of the bridge. As the author of this predic
tion gave such practical evidence of his own be
lief in its truth, and as actions furnish more
convincing arguments than words, suddenly all,
who wished to make money by following the indi
cations of the times, commenced their operations
with swelling hopes, and the whole bank of our
river, for more than a mile, rang with a perpetual
rub a dub, like an extensive cooper’s shop.
Boats shot into the river from every Boatyard,
with such rapidity, and amidst such astounding
acclamations, that the fish, wondering at such
unusual aggression upon their domains, began
to doubt, whether they were really in their own
native element. Whether the great Magician,
whose example sat all this machinery in motion,
had any particular design in it, or whether he was
simply acting on his conviction that there would
be a continued low river, and was practising on
his favorite maxim, “ follow Nature,” he alone
can best tell. But this much is certain, the great
number of small boats, of light draft, have pro
duced a great revolution in the course of our
trade, and been the cause of a more natural dis
tribution of our staple article than has existed for
three or four years past. We consider Savannah
the natural place of deposit for our cotton, and
not Charleston, to which so large a portion of it
has gone for several years. It was shipped here
on board ol pole boats, lighters, and every kind
of raft that could carry a bale. Some few of
these met Steamboats down the river, but by far
the greater number passed on to Savannah' in
compliance with their shipping contract. Now
these kinds of boats could not go to Charleston,
and were obliged to unload in Savannah. Few
were inclined to re-ship for Charleston at increas
ed expense, without the prospect of reaching a
better market. But we must wait till we receive
tfie expected expositions from the Warehouses,
before we can say any thing more on this sub
ject

OR THE
SORCERESS OF MONTILLO:
A ROMANTIC TALE.
Sullen an'i sail to fancy’s frighted eye,
‘ Did shapes of dun ugd murky dew advance.
In train tumultuous, and of gesture strange,
And passing horrible! CHARACTACUS-
(CONTINUED.)
Ia the course of a conversation on the
ladies present at the Duke d’Atala’s en
tertainment of the preceding evening, the
subject of marriage was introduced. “And
now we are on the topic,” said the Count
to Algonah, “ let me introduce the Mar
quis Rondolos as an eligible son-in-law
for your daughter Amaranta !” In vain
did the Count urge the propriety and eli
gibility of such a a match.—The Don put
his haughty negative upon the proposal,
and declared that he had doomed her to a
more holy life in a convent. During what
passed on the Prada, the Marquis d’An-
tares hastened to the palace of the Count
de Bellara, where he found Lady Mara,
the Count’s sister, and Amaranta.—He
requested a moment’s audience of Lady
Amaranta in private, which Lady Mara
very willingly complied with; and added,
as she went out, “ I have been regretting
the want of some spirited and amiable
nobleman to make this fair creature his
wife, who, unless this happen, is likely to
be confined to a cloister for the whim of a
tyranical father !” “ When Lady Mara
had retired,” said the Marquis, “ f eager
ly enquired of Lady Amaranta, what fol
lowed Rondo’s visit to the castle, and if
Clementia had forgotten me !” “ No,”
replied Amaran’a, “ you are ever in her
memory.—But where is your friend Ma-
rano ?” “ I know not,” replied the Mar
quis, “ I have not heard from him for a
long time :—but I have another friend, to
whose merits I would wish you to do jus
tice.—Marano, my dear cousin, was not
exactly what you could have wished him
to be j” “ I understand who is your
friend,” said Amaranta; “I own my gra
titude to him—nay something more,—for
rescuing me from the flames.—I confess I
could have wished for such a brother to
share our confinement in the castle. But
now, Marquis, that is over,—and I am
condemned to a place more dreary than
the castle of Montillo—to the routine of a
convent; and that, of all convents, the
Dominician nuns ! Mv father’s rage daily
increases, and my sister’s life is even in
danger when I am away !” “ I swear
by every thing sacred,” said the Marquis,
“ I will protect her.—And,” he added,
as he took Amaranta’s hand, “let my
friend Olivaro Rondolos also protect you ;
his life is at your service.” “ Ah,” said
Amaranta, “ but Marano”—“ Cannot be
•your’s,” replied the Marquis; “ he was
always indifferent to you—but Olivaro’s
love is better than taking the veil.”
Our farther conversation was inter
rupted by the return of Lady Mara, who
announced that she expected her brother
every moment, the clock having struck
nine.—The Marquis immediately retired,
and in a few minutes the Count and Algo
nah entered. “ We have met with a lover
for you Amaranta,” said the Count, “ in
our walks ; he has made proposals to your
father not, a quarter of an hour ago.”—
“ vV hat signtly his prop^d* I” sa id Lady
Mara ; “ when we have had a more suc
cessful lover, who has but just departed.”
“ Indeed,” said Amaranta, “ he is no lov
er of mine.” “ Not the Marquis d’An-
tares !” vociferated Don Algonah; “Am
aranta, were not you aware of my utter
detestation of him ?—Hell and furies, is
he always to thwart me unrevenged ?—
Amaranta, for this you shall prepare for
the convent this very night!” He then
stalked about the room till his rage was
exhausted, and the evening terminated in
his usual gloominess, and the determina
tion that Amaranta should begin her novi
ciate on the following day.
Olivaro met D’Antares the same even
ing, and learned what had passed, after
which some future plans were discussed ;
and a serenade, given by the former, un
der the apartment of Amaranta, in the
palace’ of Count de Bellara, conclud
ed the night.—-The lady however did
not appear, and an elegant present of
fruit, which Olivaro sent to Algonah the
following morning remained equally un
noticed.
Early in the morning the Don conduct
ed his daughter to the convent of the Do
minician Nuns, where the severe Abbess
faithfully promised she should be invisible
to the eye of every inquirer except him
self.
The Abbess herself had been driven
from her lover to a convent when young,
and now vindictively retaliated upon the
unfortunate sisters the severity she had
experienced. Under such a superior,
Amaranta could expect no indulgence;
the gloom of the castle was more support
able than the religious routine of the con
vent. Amaranta sighed for a companion
with whom she could share the pleasures
of friendship.—She had placed her affec
tions on her cousin, Marano, not from any
comparative preference, but from his hav
ing been the only one with whom she had
been in any way familiar; and his cool
ness and indifference had increased that
preference.
Among the sisterhood Amaranta could
distinguish no friend, but amongst the
boarders was a young lady named Selina,
whose lively manners and innocent con
versation afforded her amusement and
pleasure. They read together, and ram
ble through the dreary gardens; but every
effort to shake off the monastic load was
unavailing. Amaranta could account for
the silence of Marano more readily thail
than that of the Marquis Rondolos, who
pretended to be so deeply enamoured.—
Ignorant that he used every ingenuity to
convey a few lines to her, which were al
ways interrupted by the sagacity of the
Abbess, Amaranta’s prospects of libera
tion began to be dimmed by the gloom
that enveloped them.
This hopeless objection was farther
heightened by the decline and death ot
ER/ J ^ 0UI1 £ f* r * en( l Selina, whose fine form
^ Mflder the altered mode of life to
whf liSh
he had been accustomed ; . she
threw herself on the corpse of the departed
saint, and could be scarcely torn from it,
till the efforts of Emelina withdrew her
from her friend, and, by her sharing her
grief, reconciled her sooner to the melan
choly loss. This young lady had been
received as a boarder but a few days be
fore Selina’s death : her consolatory visits
to Amaranta in the cell, and her interest
ing manner cemented a friendship between
them, and induced the latter to bless the
goodness of Providence which had replac
ed the friendship she had lost by another.
A solemn requiem was performed by torch
light to the remains of Selina, after which
she was consigned to the -burial vault of
the convent.
Amaranta had bidden her friend good
night, and was sitting in her cell, with her
lamp and crucifix before her, ruminating
on the awful ceremony of death, when she
thought she heard soft and solemn music
stealing upon her ear.—In a little time the
sou-id melted into words, and she heard
herself distinctly called. She started up,
and opened the door, but no one appear
ed ; the lamp in the mean while expired,
and amid the darkness a gradual light
shone into the chamber, increasing its
brightness, till a smiling and lovely angel
became visible, clad in robes of azure and
white, and crowned with a beaming radi
ance. It was Selina’s spirit, on which
Amaranta looked with astonishment and
delight.—The figure spoke smilingly :—
“ My friend, you will shurtly be with me!
In nine days you will go hence !” The
sptritthen retired with a look of delight,
and the lamp recovered its extinguished
brightness.
The more Amaranta mused upon the
words of the vision, the less able was she
to determine their purport, if they bore a
general or a literal signification. The
conversation of Emelina was formed to
relieve the mind from sadness. “ Would
you believe (said Emelina to Amaranta, on
the third evening after the funeral of Seli
na) that a convent is my aversion ? Much
less do you think that Olivaro Rondolos
is my cousin. I know also the Marquis
d’Antares, and the adventure which indu
ced him to your acquaintance.” Ama-
ranta eagerly enquired if she knew ihe
Marquis’s friend, the Count Marano de
Pinato.—Emelina sighed deeply, and said,
“ Yes, my friend, I do.—I think I may
trust you with a secret. The object of
your choice is the same : but he is per
haps forever lost.” “ What! is Marano
dead !” exclaimed Amaranta.—“ If such
be his fate, I am ready to take the vows
with you.”—“ Indeed’” replied Emelina,
“ this would not augment your happiness.
The Marquis Rondolas doats on you.—
Vour love for Marano is but of a weak
growth, cherished mostly by solitude,
while the affection of myself for Marano
has been considerable from infancy. To
an invisible eye, Rondolos is the prefera
ble lover of the two. When his generous
offers are contrasted with the unnatural
and tyranical conduct of your father, you
must be either more or less than a woman
to reject him.” Discourses like these
had their effect on the mind of Amaranta,
which naturally loved gaiety. On the
followhtg day Emelina was 'called to the
grate, and in half an hour returned wim
a letter for Amaranta from Olivaro. The
letter breathed the most ardent affection,
and pressed for a favorable reply. The
natural operation of the love of life, and
the little prospect of any return of affec
tion from Marino, added to the arguments
of Emelina, indued Amaranta to return a
kind of negative approbation of his suit.
Olivaro, on the evening following the
serenade, paid a visit to the Count de
Bellara, in the hope of being admitted in
to the company of Amaranta, and chang
ing the determination of Don Algonah,
who petrified him with the intelligence
that he had that morning immured her in
the convent.—From this unfavorable in
terview, Olivaro flew to his friend D’An
tares, to unbosom his grief. “ You come
very opportunely,” said the Marqnis, to
relieve me from the tortures of reflection.
This morning early I aWokc, and went
into my garden to enjoy its cooling shade.
In a few minutes I heard a rustling among
the laurels, and beheld a tall person,
shrouded in a black cloak, advance ; his
figure was the same with that I had accos
ted in the church at Calatr^va.—After
gazing upon me for a moment with the
malice of a fiend, he drew from his cioak
a letter sealed with black, and which bore
my father’s signet.—W hile I looked at
the well known hand-writing of my parent,
the strange messenger had departed. The
letter contained an injunction for roe in
stantly to repair to the mansion on the
banks of the Tagus, and not to undertake
the journey I had projected without his
permission.—After a pause of some min
utes, I was certain that the disguised
could be no other than Pedro, by
whom I suspected I had been deceiv
ed in the church; but how Algonah,
or his agent, could know my inten
tion of visiting the castle of Montillo, I
cannot imagine. However, I am resol
ved to comply w ith the order of the letter,
and I will go well armed, that I may know
whether I have to do with body or spirit.”
f(To be continued.)
said hfe spoke advisedly when hfe declar
ed he had good reason for beliving -that
that Right Hon. Gent, had proposed
(when he found that feelings of a hostile
nature existed in some quarters against
liimj to the King and Mr. Peel, that he
should be permitted to retire (so averse
was he that Mr. Peel should doso) pro r
vided the government could thereby be
kept together: but this proposition was of
no avail. His Majesty as well as the
country was alive to the services and mer
it ofMr. Canning, and the consequence
of such approval was his appointment at
the head of the government and a seces
sion of a majority of the Cabinet.

It is made of cloth, in the form of a clyn-

round the body. By means of a brass tube
with a stop, it may be inflated with air

The amount in the Ware-Houses- at present,
does not exceed 6500 bales, in Augusta and Ham
burg. Since the news brought by the Ship La

for Cotton may be considered as improved ^ cent.
It is certainly more steady.
By the Ship Lagoda, arrived at Savanah June 20.
Liverpool, 1st May.
We see no prospect of Cotton being better for
the present, or some months to come- Still if
the Import should fall off, and the present rate of
consumption continue, or should the demand for
goods continue, or sooner or later it must pro
duce an advance, but our fears lead us to look
more for the reverse.
Cottons do not come forward freely from the
Brazils, but from Egypt they begin to come, and
it is not likely there will be any lack from that
quarter, particularly if we judge from the opera

LIVERPOOL, 5th MAT.
The business in Cotton the past week was lar
ger than had been expected ; about 2000 bags,
mostly Americans, have been taken on specula
tion. The sales on the 38th ult to last evening,
were 18820 by private and 290 by Auction, viz ;
380 Sea Islands, 10 J a 17; 49 Stained do., 7 a
9 ; 9360 Uplands- 6 1-8 a 7 ; 4300 Orleans, 4250
at 6 a 8, and 50 at 8 1-2.
Upland Cottons have not been offered so free
ly, and the prices are fully supported, but Orleans
are so pressed upon the market, particularly the
lower qualities, that we consider them an 1-8 per
lb. lower than last week, and are even lower
than a corresponding quality o'. Uplands. The
sales to-day are estimated at about 1800 bags.
Liverpool, (Saturday,) 5th May.
Our Cotton market has continued very steady
this week ; the demand from the trade has been
good, and the business done is extensive. The
lower descriptions of Bowed have advanced
about l-8d. per! b-but there is no alteration in
other kinds.
There has been a limited demand for Tobacco
from the trade and foi Ireland at our quotations.
Only a few small sales have been made in Caro
lina Rice.
A postscript of the 7th, tefers for prices to the
Circular of the 5th, and says that though the im
ports continue heavy, it was thought they would
not affect prices.

7 inches high, stoutly built, might be termed black,
but has a slight tinge of brown, face somewhat

White of South Carolina. He will probably at r
tempt to get back. His clothing consisted of a
pair of Corduroy pantaloons, and one of blue

small brimmed black fur hat, much worn, Adv
