L* Strickland, Clerk Superior Court ; John Jolly, Sheriff. No opinion has yet been delivered in the Circuit Court for the District ofCo*‘ lurnbia (now in session in this city) in the case >f Dr. Watkins. The reason pro bably is, that Chief Justice Cranch has been engaged, every since Sunday, with the Executive officers, in examining tes timony in relation to the late disastrous fire in the Treasury Department.— Nat. Intel. We learn from the Richmond Whig, of the 28th ult. that Jonh Randolph ad dressed the people of Cumberland county n a the 25th (it being Court day )in his usual eccentric style. He spoke against the Proclamation-- scouted the Tariff Bill ; and said tiie late Message reiterated the . fiumeuts of the Proclamation. His .: h whs very feeble. He said in con jfsion. that injustice to hinifelf;and con sents, he could not be considered a liate for Congress—-for he was pre . •s. For a sea voyage. Some of his ' it friends insisted that a poll should i for him, which will no doubt be CHOLERA AT HAVANNA. v Havanna, March 23, 1833. The Cboiera is making such ravages among our population that business is al most en irely suspended aod 'he Clerks in Corameicial Houses, Brokers, Car* men, launchmeß and day laborers are un willing to work. Our daily Im publicly known, fall not far short of 500, but it is supposed that the number is greater. Strangers are not permitted to go ouiside the walls, lest they should dis cover the mortality. One individual has lost 50 out of 200 slaves, and nearly the whole black popu lation has been attacked. Travelling will be all the rage this summer. Last year the cholera fixed peo ple in particular spots—-now they will break loose. Many young men of fash ion in lha Atlantic cities intend to visit Paris, climb the Alps,breathe the breezes of Italy, and come home with lofty no tions. A party of coloured emigrants left Lou isville, Ky. on the 22d ult. for Liberia. It numbered one hundred and six per sons, ninety six of whom were manumit ted in Kentucky, lour were from east Tennessee, and the others were free. Among the latter is an emigrant from Brown County, Ohio, who goes out rs a representati'.e of three hundred peisoDS in that county who contemplate emigrat ing to Liberia pfovidedjhis report be fa vourable. The emigrants left Louisville in high spirits, being liberally provided with money and provisions by the people of Kentucky.—They were to be convey ed to New-Orleans, free of expense, in the elegant steamboat Mediterranean, ac companied by (he Secretary of the Ken tucky Colonization Society. At Now* Orleans (he charge of the emigrants will be assumed by Mr. Savage, of Ohio, who will accompany them to Libetia. ALABAMA—SLAVES. We extract from the fluntsviile (Alab*) Advocate, the following article, by which it appears that all restrictions to the intro duction of slaves into that State were re moved by tha last Legislature. Introduction of Slaves— Frequent in quiries having been made upon this sub ject, we think proper to state that the flrsi, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventy eighth, twentieth and twenty-first sec tions of the Act to prevent the introduc tion of slaves into Alabama, and for other purposes, were repealed at the last sea son of the Legislature. These sections prevented the introduction of slaves for sale—defined the circumstances under which, aud the persons by whom they might be introduced— prescribed tho course to be pursued by the persons bring ing them—imposed disabilities under their sale or hire within a limited time, and penalties for the infraction of the law.— So that, now, all restrictions are removed. A NEW CONTINENT!—The Lon don Literary Gazette, of Feb. 23d, says': “A whaler has fallen in with a Continent iu the Antarctic Seas: tis as the discovery is small, the owners have endeavored to con ceal it,tilltb(By cau bring offsnrae cargoes of oil and seal The log of the vessel is rather confused; but still there seems to be no doubt of the fact, that an immense tract of land has been found about the lat itude 67 degress, and in longitude lying nearly due South of the Cape of Good Hope. PUTREFACTION. Extract of a letter from Dr. Waterhouse published in the Boston Courier. How many of us, blind mortals, aro led by the nose into error! It is a common opinion that putrefaction, and the bad smell thence arising, will iufallibly gen erate contagious or infectious distempers. If this were actually the case, what would become of tanners, curriers, butchers, glue and cat-gut makers—not to mention sur geomt The putrefaction of animal sub stances is less dangerous to human life than confined air, or the effluvium of any ODe body whatever; whether the body be a rose, a pink, a lily, or dead rat* The nose is a faithful sentinel to the outpost of life; but neither that nor the other ones, the eye, and the tongue, are infallible guards. I had rather sleep, after all, to the leeward of S-——B famous piggery, than iu a canopied aud curtained room, in which were placed pots full of the most beautiful and sweet smelling flowers our finest gardens afford. They have an ef fluvia, especially the yellow ones, perni cious to health and dangerous *o life- Nor would I sleep in a close room, with sev eral dishes of chlorides or chlorine ; be cause, if it chase away 3 stencil, it may leave behind a poison. Auraria. —The Village of Auraria, is situated on the ridge dividing the waters of the Chestatee and Etoatr Rivets, on lot number six hundred and sixty-four, in the twelfth district, and first section, of originally Cherokee, now Lumpkin coun ty ; and supposed to be immediately in the most valuable part of the Gold Re gion. Its locality, justly entitles it to the name which it bears ; being one as we conceive; of melodious sound, accompan ied with classic taste, and appropriate derivation, and as we at all times take pleasure in awarding merit, to whom it is due, we give rlie name of the late Vice- President, John C. Calhoun, as the au thur of this admirable selection, from the catalogue af names, which he suggested for this place, when at his mines in this neighborhood last November. The first Cabin was erected here about the first June last, by Wm. Dean, Esq. who was shortly followed by Nathaniel Nuckolls, Esq. who opened a house of Entertainment far the accommodation of those disposed to make examinations for gold iu the surrounding country ; and the consequence was, that his house was ins mediately crowded with the most respec table, Bod no tor prising pail of-the c«m munity from this, Btul oilier Stales. Iho successful effect of the first adventurer’s being seen made known, its maguetic powers upon the wants of the poor, as well as the avaricious cravings of the rich, immediately drew together a population composed of all classes and conditions ol the human family, from the most indigent beggar, to the wealthy nabob* The Lot on which Auraria stands, hay ing been drawn by orphans sometime in January last, and they having at that time no Guardian to act for them, the growth of the place was greatly retarded fr<>m that period, until a few days since. The Guardian of the Orphans has just left here, after making satisfactory arrange ments with the citizens for the present year, aud the state of improvement is now going on in a manner we will venture to say, unpiecedented in any back country village in the Southern States. There is now on this Forty Acre Lot of Land, one Hundred Family dwellings; eighteen or twenty Stores; twelve or fif teen Law Offices ; lour or five Taverns, &C. (fee. The,Towo Population is estimated at one thousand, and that of the county, at tea thousand, and constantly increasing, with a rapidity almost too incredible to relate. The Indian population is small ; their right of occupancy to the soil, having in most cases, been extinguished previous to the survey'and distribution of the country The mines already drawn in this vicin ity, (’not involved in litigation) are yield ing to the proprietors in rich abundance, the anticipated fruits of die most sanguine speculator. —Auraria Herald. LAW OF LOUISIANA. AN ACT Amending the acts now io torce relative to the introduction of slaves. Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Loutsiana , in General Assembly conve ned, That from and after the passage of this act, that portion of the second sec lion of iho act to amend the act eutiiled “an act relative to the introduction of slaves,” which includes the Slates of Ken tucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, amongst those Slates and Territories from whom slaves should not be iuiroduced, be and the same is hereby repealed. Sec. 2. Be it enacted Spc., That so much of the first section ol the said act entitled “au act to amend the act eutiiled ae act relative to the introduction of slaves,” which requires the agent employ ed to be a freeholder of the Parish in which the slaves are to be introduced, be aud is hereby so amended as to make it only ne cessary hereafter that the said agent be a qualified voter and land owner residing in the judicial district in which the slaves are to be introduced: Provided, That aH other restriction and qualiflcations oow re quired by the existing laws from agents shall remain the same. Sec. S. Bo it enactedSpc, That from the passage of this act, it will be lawful for fathers or mothers of families or other descendants, who under the provisions of this act or in virtue of any other acts re specting iho introduction of slaves in his State, should have purchased some slaves in conformity to the said former laws, that the said fathers 01 mothers of families, have the right to give or otherwise dis pose of any of those said slaves so pur chased or introduced to and in favor of their children, grand children, sons in-law, or step-daughters, as a part of (heir in heritance or any other ways ; Provided, That those said children, grand children, sens-in-law, or step-daughters shall con form themselves to the prevision and re strictions of these said laws, as if they had been the original purchasers of said slaves. From the N. York Journal of Commerce, AprilQ- Evening Edition, I o’clock, P. M. Nine days later from. France. Four days later from England. We have received from our news schr. Journal of Commerce, Havre papers to the evening of March 2nd, containing Paris dates to the evening of the Ist, and- London to the evening of February 27th. They were brought by the packet ship Louisa, Capt. Wood. Paris, February 25 On Friday 22d Feb. at half past five o’clock, P. M. Madame the Duchess de Berri sent to General Bugeand, Coin-- mander of the citadel of' Biaye, the fol lowing Declaration: “ Under the ptessure of circumstances, and influenced by the measures of the government, although I had the most ur gent reasons for keeping my marriage se cret, I think it due to myself, as well ns to my children, to declare that I was se cretly married during my residence in Italy. Citadel of Biaye, 22 d Feb. 1833. (Signed) MARI E-CAROLINE.” The declaration having been transmit ted by Gen. Bugeand to the President of the Council, the Minister of War, was immediately deposited among the ar chives of the chancery of France. Paris, Feb. 26.—The declaration of the Duchess de Berri gives a death blow to the legiiimatist party in France. Eve ry one is thinking what reprobation will be excited throughout Europe by the mar riage of Marie Carolina to Count Neiperg We are curious to see what language the ! organs of legitimacy will now adopt. Since the announcement of the mar riage of the Duchess de Berri, we have seen several persons known tu belong to the iegitimatist party. They appear to be much cast down by the news, as it is contrary to all the principles of legitima cy that the mother es an heir apparent to the throne of Fiance should be married a second time. Paris , Marcl} I.—The Duchess de Berri sent tho declaration inserted in the Moniteur, to Bordeaux. M. de Brissac left Bordeaux on tho morning ofthe2stb, to return to Prague. Liberty has been promised to the Duchess, who has an nounced her willingness to retire to Naples, and trust her children to what ever fortune may await them. —Gazette de France. It is difficult to comprehend, says the Courier Francais, how the Duchess de Berri, who has no communication with any one, could have made known her intentions relalivo to her retirement and the tutorage of her children. Paris, Feb. 2b.—On Saturday eve- • ning General Lafayette Called at the resi- j dence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, j where his presence surprised mote than one member of the diplomatic corps. The General came to intercede with the Minister for some Polish refugees, and to propose to him to subscribe to a bill which the Polish Committee of Paris give on Saturday next for the relief of the unforiunate families thrown upon their charge by the disaster of Warsaw. Paris, Feb. 23. The Government has just purchased the library of the late Baron Cuvier for 72,00a. and the Egyptian manuscripts of M. Cbampollion, J un*|for 50,000. HOLLAND & BELGIUM. The following intelligence from the Hague, is dated the 18(h jnst, “A courier extraordinary reached the English Charge’d Affaires at the Hague yesterday, from -London, with despatches, which, were no sooner opened and read than he Went to the Minister for Foreign Affaiis and communicated their contents; they consisted of a hole signed by Prince Tal leyrand and Lord Palmerston, and dated 10th insf; which, after recapitulating the negotiations entered into since the cap ture of the Citadel of Antwerp, contains the following important articles: Art. I—Aftet having exhausted every means of conciliation, in order to effect an amicable arrangement between the ttoo powers (Holland and Belgium,) his Britannic Majesty iu concert with the King of the Netherlands does now trans mil to the Foreign Office a note, expli citly setting forth the principal bases tip on which *o found a treaty of commerce between the two belligerent powers. The French Atmy, supportedTjy an English squadron, will again pass into the Belgian teritory, and this time will not retire uu til the treaty of tha 15th November, 1831, be fully accomplished. Ar'. 2—The embargo upon the ships of war and merchant vessels of Holland will be maintained, both in France and England, until the execution of.the above mentioned treaty. Art. 3—France and England, previous to having recoorse to coercive measures, demand of the Dutch government the ab olition of the toll receutly established. Art. 4 —The governments of France and England, desirous of establishing the commercial bases of two governments whose relations should henceforth be com. ptetely amicable, and not wishing that the treaty which is to be made should be bur densome either to the one or the other power, will labor to conciliate the inter ests of the two belligerent powers in such a manner that the treaty may he signed and ratified at the Hague and at Brus sels in the course of the said month of March of the present year. Art. s—The undersigned representa tives of France and England conclude by repeating to die Dutch government what is set forth in the first article of this noie, and hope that his Dutch Majesty, per ceiving the real necessity of terminating a question that keeps tue commerce of all Europe in suspense, will cut the Gordian knot and transmit us admissible proposi tions.” ENGLAND. London, Feb. 25. The reports of dissections in the Cabi net have latterly gained more credit. It is said that two of t.lO Ministers of great est influence ate engaged in an intrigue, the tesuli es which will be a rupture with the leaders of the Whig Party, and an al liance with the Tories. It is asserted that seveml members of the Cabinet, with Lord Grey at their head,have threat ened to hand in their resignations, if such a slate of things continues. Nothing certain is known as to the re sult.. of the communication made to the Dutch Government on the part of Lord Palmerston and Prince Talleyrand. Iu the mean time, the despatches of the Brit ish Charge d’Affairs to Brussels are of a nature to bring about a solution of tha questions pending, for they confirm the reports which have been in circulation of the disappointment ud discouragement to which the King of Holland finds him self reduced. Our diplomatic Ageut as serts lhtt many of the most influentia. persons in Holland begin to perceive he folly of a longer resistance, Sc advise King William to yield. London Feb. 27. Wo learn that the Envoy Extraord na ry of Holland, M. Van Zulen, has been recalled from London by his government. As yet it is not known who is to be bis successor. —London Courier. The House of Commons assemble dai ly at noon , agreeable to the new regula tions, in order to receive petitions, and attend to business of a private nature. — The Speaker takes the Chair as soon as 20 members are assembled* If to many are not present by a quarter past 12, he adjourns the House till 5 o’clock.— ldem. The letters received from Lisbon this morning concur in representing the army of Don Miguel as in such a sickly and disorganized state, that it is genetally sup posed the siege of Oporto will soon be raised. Wagons for transporting the sick were arriviog from every direction. It is asserted that the Forts and advanced woiks were about to be constructed in the environs of Lisbon, in the anticipation that the army of Don Pedro would march upon the Capital. Globe. His Majesty’s Ministers will take into immediate consideration the affairs of the East Indies. It is said -riie commerce with China will bo made free,—ldem. TURKEY AND EGYPT. Paris Eeb. 22 ; The Augsburg Gazette of the 18th in-, stant brings us intelligence of iho 13th from Vienna. Accounts had boen re» ceived there by an express from Constan tinople, to January 31, from which it ap pears that the agents dispatched by the. French Charge d’Affatrs at Constantino ple, and by the Russian General MuYa -1 wief, to the head quarters of Ibrahim Pa cha, to open negotiations, have returned I to Constantinople without accomplishing the object of their mission, A kind of armistice had, it is true, been concluded, but the term of it had nearly expired at the time of tho Courier from Constanti nople. The representatives of the Eu ropean Powers are said to bo highly dis satisfied with the state of affairs, as they [expected a more favorable result from their proposals to Ibrahim Pacha. It was thought at Constantinople that if an ar rangement between Turkey and Egypt should not be effected soon, Fiance would take an active part in the affairs of ihe East. The above accounts add that the army of Ibrahim Pacha is suffering from want of provisions, and regular pay. The discontented soldiers receive nothing but promises. Paris, Feb. 23. The Augsburg Gazette, of 19th insl. states that the Turkish fleet bad entered the Port of Constantinople, and that the Persiau Envoy has frequent conferences with the Reis Effendi. From the Havre Journal, 2nd Feb. Vienna, Feb. 20. —8 yan extraordina ry conveyance wo have received news from Constantinople that Ibrahim Pacha is continuing his march, and that the main body of his army has arrived at Aksche bir, and his advanced guard to Kulahia. He declined entering into any negocia tion, and would not suspend his military operations except on positive orders from his father. Under these circumstance* the Sulian bad recourse to the Russian Ambassador, who immediately sent or ders to Sebastopol, fur a Russian squad ron to join tho Turkish fleet in (he Bos phorus. The Sultan likewise asked stir a body of Russian soldiery, which had arrived at the Danube, but this aid the Ambassador refused. Every thing is perfectly tranquil at Constantinople, and it is generally believed that Mehemet Ali will accapt the propositions which the two Plenitentiaries of Russia andTur key have gone to Alexandria to submit to him. AUGUSTA. MONDAY, APRIL, 15. We notice a shipment of Cotton in the Orphe us to St. Petersburg from Charleston. We regret to iuforin our friends at a distance that the Merchants and Planters Bank of this City stopped payment on Saturday last.— A notice in relation to the Bank will be found in our advertising columns. A law of the last Session requires the Banks of this State to make quarterly reports. We are requested to ask, “If tbev have been made, wliy have they not been published 1” . Upwards of 2000 U. S. Bank Shares were sold at New York on the 29th ult. at from 1 JOj to 110 J. It is stated in a Philadelphia paper, that Washington Irving is preparing anew Sketch Book, the result of his personal observation of scenes and characters in the West. Such have been the destructive effects of the recent floods iu Pedee and Wnteree, that we learn tire Planters hesitate whethes.or not they will Ire able to plant their Cotton crops in time to reward them for the cultivation. A Dinner is proposed to tie given at a conve nient time by our Citizens, to the Hon. John Forsyth, in approbation of his public conduct. We are glad to find Mr Forsyth’s triends have determiued to meet with spir it the vile denunci ations, which a few disappointed Nullifiers in Georgia are ringing thro’ the State, as the voice of her people Nothing ever was more false and malignant. Forsyth and Wayne never stood higher—never as high as they now do in the es timation of the »reat mass of our Union-loving people. Try it, who will—the test shall verify what we say; so; we only speak the public voice as it reaches us from every quarter of the State. From Returns already received, we have no dauht, that there will be a majority of Adminis tration and Forsyth men, alias Union men, in ttie Reduction Convention, nearlv two to one. the "Bloody Bill' 1 to the contrary notwith standing Our readers, many of whom we presume are intereste ’ : n one way or another, will find the Sheriff '8 in the Counties composing Chert ktt Circuit in our paper to-day. We shall regu larly copy them. Mr. Randolph having no opposition, may be fairly pre-umed to be elected to Congress, not - withstanding his bad health and inlended sea - voyage. He will be worse, than Cobbett in the House of Representatives—with all his itl-na ture and not more than half his common sense. Why is our Market like a love-letter? One says, because it contains tender lints, and anoth er because it begins dear. “ April Showers.” Instead of gentle distilla - tions from the clouds, with accompanying sun shine as is usual, this April we have floods from the Heavens, and of course floods below. It rained all last night, part of yesterday afternoon’ and this morning till 10 o’clock. The aspect of the Heavens indicates a countinuance, although the temperature yesterday and to-day has res tored the winter vestments., which had been par tially laid off The bill tu provide for the laying off a town at S t. Marks, has become a Taw.— Floridian. An ingenious Frenchman has that a young lady who attends th,e Parisian saloons regularly dances 400 miles in the course of n season ; and that a modest mtftron, in waltzing, turns around as often as the wheels of a steam boat in the trip between Dover and Calais. Pennsylvania Senator. —A further attempt was made by the Legislature of Pennsylvania on Tuesday Lst (say# the N. Y. Journal of Com merce of sth inst.) to elect a Senator to Coir gress, in the place of Mr. Dallas, whose term of service expired on the third of March last.— Three balloting# took place, as we learn from the Philadelphia Sentinel, with the following re sulU: Ist 2d 3»1 Samuel McKean, 46 44 46 Richard -Rush, 43 44 43 John Sergeant, ™ 16 13 George M. Dallas, 13 21 82 Henry A. Muhlenberg, 1) 33 The Convention adjourned sine die by a vole of 84 to 43. Thus ends the struggles for the pre sent — the Legislature being unable to effect a choice. The elections in Charlotte county look place last Monday. We learn ihat Judge Thomas T. Bouldin was eleoied to ihe House of Delegates, without opposition— that Col. Josefh Wyatt received 2 to 1 over Henry E. Watkins for the Stato Senate, and that there was no opposition to Mr. Randolph for Congress.—//. Vir ginian. Holt's Hotel, New York —lt is said that the proprietor of this immense establish*' mem, which has not been opened more than a month, dines at its ordinaiy, 200 gentlemen, aod at least 2000 in its various I‘uoms daily; that to supply his table, K sides all other ptovisions, be provides n fat bullock every morning; that he toasts 700 lbs of meat at IT time, tho spit for which, is worked by a steam engine.
