MR, ~L IV i NGS TON AN D THE
FRENCH BILL.
A splendid dinner wasgi ven on Thurs- I
dav a week ago at the City Hotel ot New '
Yo.k, in honorto Mr. Livingston.
The fourth toast was in honor of their ,
glleS :
• Edward Livingston: Asa patriot and ;
Statesman, he belongs to America; as aj
Jurist and Philosopher, to the world. His
exposition ofthe 25th April, embodies the
sentiments of his Countrymen, and stands
a text Book for American Diplomatists.”
Mr. Livingston rose to reply, amidst the
acclamations of the Company. His exor
dium was peculiarly fine:
“ I had arranged some phrases which
1 thought might suit the occasion. But
they are driven from my mind by the im
pulse which the scene around me natur
ally produces. I find them tame, fiat,
powerless, to express the feelings by
which I am excited—agitated —almost
overpowered.”
His whole address was very eloquent
and happy—When became to touch on
the French Affairs, he showed the great
<1 fficultit s which he had experienced in
his Mission: (‘Gentlemen, (says he,) 1
must not be misunderstood I speak ofan
opposition couq osed ofthemost heterogen
eous materials—Ultra Royalists, ultra Li
berals,Republicans, and other malcontents
who have united on using the most untir
ing efforts to break the faith of the nation
solemnly pledged, and embroil two coun- 1
tries having every motive of interest and
honorto unite,and notone to divide them,
I do not speak of the administration nor
ofthe King. Ou the contrary, 1 seize this
public occasion to declare that I never
doubted the sincere desire of his Majesty
faithfully to perform the treaty he had
made, and to preserve the most amica
ble relalio.is with the United States, and
that if be had been seconded by all
his ministers with the same zeal which
distinguished the Minister for foreign
affairs the rejection of 1834 would not
have taken place.”—He thus concluded:
“This adhesion to the amendment of Gen.
Valze as:onishtd and grieved.me. [strove
to counteract its effects by the note, gen- I
tiemen, which you have seen, and which |
since its approval by the President, I hope j
may remove this difficulty. Should this
fail—should one word of additional ex
planation be required—the good intelli
gence between the two countries is at once
interrupted and destroyed.
The voice of the country,thankGod is de .
cided on that subject—[Cheers]—The dig
nity of the country must, all hazards, be
preserved. The great scourges of nat ons
are succeeded generally by the remedies
which a benignant Providence has ordain
ed for them. Peace effaces the ravages
of War—Nature repairs the destruction of
pestilence; and years of abundance console
us for the privations of famine, but the pro
trated dignity of a country can never be j
restored.
“The wounds of honor (says the poet,)
never close,” or if they should be cicatriz
ed, they remain an opprobrious stigma on
the body politic for ever. Let us take
are. then, that no such brand of infamy
by affixed to the character of our country,
to make our posterity blush for the subser
viency of their fathers.—[Enthusiastic
cheers]
“Igive yon, gent’emen,
“National Honor—Received untarn
ishedfrom our ancestors —it must be trans
milled to our posterity without a spot.”
A Great Speculation.— A gentleman
of the bar in a neighboring county, in ea
sy circumstances and pretty good practice
had rendered himself somewhat remarka
ble by his attempts ia the way of matrimo
nial speculation. A maiden, rather advan
ced in years, residing some miles distant
in the neighborhood, hearing of the law
yers speculating propensity—that his
character was unexceptionable, and his
situation in life tolerably good—resolved
upon m iking him her husband. She hit i
upon the following expedient: she pretend
ed suddenly to he taken very ill, and sent
and procured the man of the law to draw
her will. By her will she devised SIOO,-
000 in Bank stock, to he divided among
her three cousins—some thousands in
bonds and notes to a niece—and a vast es
tate to a favorite nephew. The will being
finished, she gave the lawyer i very lib
eral fee, and enjoined secrecy upon him
for pretended purposes—thus precluding
him from any enquiry into her real cir
cumstances. —Need I mention the resul?
Ina fortnight the lady thought proper to
be again restored to health.
'l’he lawyer called to congratulate her
on her restoration —begged permission to :
visither, which was politely given. After'
a short courtship the desired offer was
made. The bargain was concluded, and
ratified by the priest. The lawyer’s :
whole estate by his wife, consists of an \
annuity of sixty five dollars.— Western

We have lost another Washington.
The man v. ho most resembled the Father
of bis Country, in all that distinguishes !
the great and the good, is no more. Their
history, their characters, their lives, and i
their deaths are, alike. They were the
Men of the Revolution—the Men ofaaoth- i
er World. August and simple and plain ;
hearted, they stand forth from the dead
level of th. ir day and country, like Pyra
mids. From the first, they were of the
few’ that bear sway over the understand
ings of a peep e—and now that they are
j gone forever, we look about us with a
I steadily growing apprehension —with a
feeling of dismay—afraid to ask ourselves
where the next bolt may fall; afraid to turn
our eyes upon the record ot that unchan
geable decree which fixes the ageeven of
such men, however terrible a calamity
therdeath may be, and however impossi
ble it may be [bund to supply their p aces,
at three score years and ten. Fewer and
farther apart aie they, and after a few
more’years, they will all be gathered to
their fathers —and to Our Father. And
then—whither shall we betake ourselves,
whither shall we turn our eytS lor living
and breathing examples, of what men
should be at tie 1 irth of a Great Repub
lic.
Were this a proper time, we should try
to run a parallel between George Wash
ington and John Marshall. It would
sanctify the boasting of a Nation —the sor
row of a whole people. It would solmen
ize the worst apprehensions that are now
enteitained, and more or less openly avow’
ed by every great anti good man of the
country, whatever may be his politics or
his religion.

MILCH COWS.
In answer to queries put by the Agricul
; lural Society of Lower Canada to Sir
John Sinclair.
Cows sprung from the same parents,
and reared and fed together, will often va
ry considerably in the quantity of milk
they yield—cows give less milk when
young, or when too old, than they do from
four to eignt years of age. Cows that are
lean give Less milk, and that ofan inferi
or quality’, than the same cows will give
whtn they are in good habit of body.
- ows generally give more milk for two
or three months after calving, than they do
afterwards.
'1 he quantity ofbulter yielded by cows,
depends more on the food given them,
t tan on any particularity of the breed < f
I cattle, and the quality of the butter is
I greatly influenced by the mode of feeding,
i and still more by’ the m inner in which the
bu.ter is manufactured. Cows that bronze
cn natural pasture, or what is culled old
turf, do not yield so much milk as the
same cows would give when ft don clover,
turnips, cabbages, and new herbage, but
the milk ofthe firmer is of Utter quality, i
and yields more of richer butter, from any
given quantity of milk, than that of cows
fed on clover, &.C. Some individual cows
of every breid give richer milk and of
course more butter in proportion to their
milk, than the cows ot the same breed,
; and when reared and fed in the same
! maimer. Milk as it comes from the cows
consists of oily matter, from which butter
I is made, lactic matter, which forms che. se
'and serum, or whey; and the milk of par
. ticular cows of every breed differs consid
' erably in the propo.tmn it contains of these
respective subs'ancis.—But it is doubtful
| if any particular breed can be pointed out,
! which uniformly yields more butter than
any of the other breeds, except in so far
' as th< y yield more milk, or are influenced
. by’ climate, the mode of feeding, &c.—
j Much butter, and that of a superior qual
| ity, is made in Holland, and particularly
,in the Province of Freiseland. This
: seems to proceed from the catjle being fed
on meadows where herbage is of natural
: growth, and very rich. The cows of Hol
i land give less milk in proportion to their
j size, than the generality ol the Scotch dai
j ry cows; but the milk of the Dutch cows
is richer than the other. In Holland the
. milk is not allowed to stand more than 18
to 24 hours to cast up cream, while in
i Scotland it stands double those periods,
j The consequence is, that nothing but
■ the richest and best cream, which always
: rises first, is made into butter in Hol-
I land; while in Scotland, the inferior cream
i which makes inferior butter, is collect*d
•nd churned with the other. And, above
all things, the great attention paid to clean
liness in Holland has a powerful effect
upon the quality in their butter.
A cow, kept by Win. Cramp, of Lewis,
in the county of Sussex, is mentioned in
the fifth and six volumesofthe communi
cations to the Board of Agriculture, as
ha'ing yielded, in the year 1805, 540
pounds of butter, in 1807 she gave G 75
pounds, an J in 1808 the same cow gave 1
4*56 pounds, avoirdupois of butter. The 1
bee rotary to the Board of Agriculture
mentioned a cow kept by the Rev. Mr. ■
Hacket. of Beckingham, near Newark, '
that yielded nineteen pounds, avoirdupois,
of butter in one week. But he added,
that six. seven, or eight pounds per week’
were the common returns ofthe cows in
that part ol England-— Quebeck Mercury. !
A Difficult Retreat.— Monsieur de
Malsaingnes was a determined duellist. !
Having q uarrelled with a brother officer
they agreed to fight out the dispute in the
very room where it bad taken place:
when M. de Malsaignes s advereary man
aged to run him through the body and I
nail him against the door. “It is all very
well sir,” said the transfixed duellist, with
singular sa/qg/roid, “but pray how are!
you to get out?
Incendiary P ablicalioas — TheUniled i
States mail, brought yesterday, by the
Steam packet Columbia, from New York,!
came to hand, filled with incendiaty pa- !
pers and tracts, intended for circulation I
throughout the Southern and Western
sections of the Union. It is certainly a
monstrous abuse oftl.is national conven-:
ience, that it should beconveiled into an !
instrument or means of assault on South-. 1
ern Institutions; and a repetition of it will
in ail probability, so influence public in
dignation, as to render the United States
mail unsafe, at least in this quarter. If no !
measure of prevention be within the com- j
potency ofthe Post Office authorities, a[
remedy may nevertheless, be found among
ourselves, in the refusal of those, to whom
these incendiary publications come ad
dressed,to aid in their circulation. We un
derstand that the South Carolina Associa
tion had a Meeting yesterday in reference
io this subject, and have issued a Circu
lar to the Post Masters, to the South, and
South West, apprising them in anticipa
tion ofthe incendiary stuffof which they
are to be made the official dispensers.—

“Talk of the slavery in the South?
Would that our free negroes were hafi
as -well off- —as comfortably clothed ai d
f d—as well taken care of, and provided
for in sickness and cal unity. It is the
■name of slavery, not the reality. Here
we have slavery, white and black— there
is liberty under the name of slavery. A
field negro has his cottage, his wife and
his children, his easy task, his little patch
of corn and potatoes, his garden and fruit,
which are his revenue and property. The
house servant has handsome clothing,his
luxurious mea’s, his admitted privileges,a
kind master, and indulgent mistress. In
the South we see nothing of the poverty,
crime, and abandonment ot the blacks that'
we have at the North. L*t fanatics rave!
—let false philosophy have sway—this is
the truth ofthe picture, and men of sense
must admit it.”— Evening Star.
SENTENCE OF CAPT. READ. I
Capt. Read, of the Navy, was tried up- '
on five distinct charges, each having three I
specifications.
Charge first. — Conduct unbecoming!
an officer and a gentleman.

conduct unb. coming an officer, but not
guilty of that part which charges him
with conduct unbecoming a gentleman.”
The court also found him eu lty of the
secant and fifth, charges: guilt v of all the!
specifications ofthe Z/tirr/nnd fourth char- I
ges, but not guilty of the charges them- '
selves. Upon this finding, the court do

1 have not much to say ofthis place. Cue i
hears a good deal about it every where on :
the route, chiefly, however, because it is
a part and point of the route, I’m sure; for .
to be candid, it is certainly one of the most
disagreeable holes it was ever my misfor- I
tuneto be caught in. The citizens, if they '
see the compliments I pay them, will, I !
hope at least, give mecredit for honesty, i
which is all 1 ask; nor have 1 any against 1
them —only against, or about, the place it I
is their pleasure to live in. 'They will, !
moreover, permit me to offer them a bit of j
advice —in consideration for the eold-eof- '
fee, without milk even, which the worthy I
host sold me for breakfast al the moderate
price ol fifty cents, 1 should advise them
then, simply, to tear the town down, in
the first place, and in the second, just to
build it up again—two most moderate re
quests, which, in courtesy, of course, they
won’t do less than grant. 1 assure them
there is no other way of curing the cancer
than of cutting it out—and it is as I re
marked before, just about the cursedest
looking place on the face of the Globe—
nothing else will express my meaning.
And this 1 say more freely because it
seems many respectable people live here,
who must have themselves the sense to see
and the candor to confess. Why will
they not be at more pains to please, not my
eyes, but their own? Why not keep their
Imuses clean and neat—and plant treis —
and tear down the tumble-down buildings
and drain out the mud—and encourage
a houre for travellers, where the necessa
ries of life may be had? However, I ac
knowledge I ma little outof humor, and
th* r for*, ’sthephilosophersoothed himself

upon about as indifferent a subject. I mean
the country I have passed through
from St. Mary’s. lam not so great a fool
as to abuse th whole country, and much
less the people (like a genuine John Bull)
on account ofthe roads or the sides of
them. But a less attractive region than
this low land of Georgia, 1 derire not to
see—all sand, and"swamp, and woods with
inequalities to see from, and nothing to
see if there were—is the sum and substance
of the story. Yet Ido not extend my re
marks any more than my vision, beyond
the sides ofthe. way,

LATE FROM ENGLAND.
The packet ship Caledonia, Captain
Graham has arrivtd bringing us copious
files of London and Liverpool papers to her
day ofsailing, the 16th ultimo. The most
interest intelligence is that which relates
to the indemnity due by France to this
country. The London Morning Herald
ofthe fifteenth says: “'The domestick news
given by the Paris papers is highly inter
es.ing. The Chamber ol Peers passed
the American Indemnity Treaty Bill on
Friday last by a large majority (125 a
gainst 22,) in the shape in which it had
been brought up from the Chamber of
Deputies; thus defeating all the specula
tion that the clause introduced into it in
the latter mentioned Chamber on motion
of Gen. Valaze, and which it wusthoughl
would give offence to America, would be
omitted?’--A r . Y. Post.
Another late arrival from Europe pre
sefTsus with European advices to the mid
dle of last month. 'The American Indem
nity Bill passed the French House of
Peers by a majority of 103: this bill ’ con
tains the clause requiring an apology for
language ofthe President’s Message. As
the whole tenor and bearing of thiZmatter
has been laid before the French Nation
in the excellent letter of Mr. Livingston,
they must be content with the explanation
there given, or seek satisfaction in the us
ual way.
A large Belgian force was about enter
ing Spain in aid ofthe Queen, which, with
the army nearly ready to embark from
England, will soon restore tranquillity to
that country, annihilate the prospects and
hopes of Carlos.
An unexpected change in the Portu
guese Ministry seems to have been caused
by the predilections of the young Queen
fortheson ofthe King of France, for
whom she bad taken a fancy in a visit to
Paris some time since. A majority of the
old ministry, including several of the
Queen’s nearest relations, having other
objects in view, opposed the union, but
the Queen remained inflexible and com
pelled the Ministry to give place to those
more favorable to her wishes.— Baltimore

We cannot disguise the conviction, that our |
opponents would rejoice at the partial success j
at least ofthe Aboli ion fanatics, provided they 1
could wield the political influence attempted to
be established by their conduct. Look at the
matter dispassionately, if we cannot. Now, we
are not going to disci -s the question the Aboli
tionists present, nor should it be allowed to be
discussed in this community, or even alluded
to, in the manner it has been. It is not debate
able. We will not waste words on a subject,
that stands as prominent among our rights in
the great chart of our political immunities as
the Declaration of Independence itself does in
our history. Debate would tacitly hnplj’ un
certainty. We stand, in the open day, in
the constitutional possession of a right which
none, who question, will be answered with
words. We are compelled to make these
remarks, by the evident design of our op
ponents, for a long time manifest to every one,
who had common discernment. We are driv
en to this dilemma by them: If we notice the
falsehoods and scandalous publications, which
the}’ circulate in their papers, under l\\epretence
. of abusing their authors, their object of a pub
lic discussion and public exciiement i« ob
tained ; and if, yielding to a sense of its im
propriety, or in the sternness of an indig
nant independence, relying on the good sense
of our fellow-citizens, we treat these prudent
an.l consistent conservators of the public peace
and safety, with silent contempt or heartfelt ex
ecration, they turn immediately round and
charge us with friendly views towards the
, schemes of these Northern intruders. Their
aim is plainly, some of them avow it, to blow
up an excitement on this subject, to render un
closeable the breach which they have already
effected, by other means, in the affections of the
two great portions of our Cosntry; and if their
designs are not exposed and blasted at once, they
may succeed in their efforts to lay the whole
odium of this movement at the door of the Union
Party, who, they would fain persuade the world,
were, very lukewarm in their opposition to the
projects, against which they vociferate with
such thundering eloquence. The very neces
sity’ of silence on this subject, from the Union
press, favors their design, and wecandidh - con
fess, ihat all that has appeared in this paper, on
; that subject, has been more with, a view to give
I the lie to their insinuations, than from a sense
of the propriety of noticing such a topic in
this community.
Wesaid to the people, look at this matter dis
passionately, if we cannot, engaged as we are
daily in a heated political c.miest, and often
j excited by the course of the opposition to say
j more than prudence, under the government of
i self-interest merely, wouldjustify. Look at the
! facts. Every incident, that can he bent to the
( semblance of any thing favoring their designs,
I is tortured into some dire! 1 evidence of threat
ening mischief. Look at the meeting trumpeted
, to the world in the last Chronicle, and which, no
doubt, every Nullification Press will copy
throughout the Union. We were authorized,
ia our last, by the Mayor, and the Members of
Council concerned, and by the Chief Police
Officer to say, that, so far from the truth was the
Chronicle's representation, that the meeting, al
| ludedto, was authorized, for religious purposes,
i by a member of the City Council —that the
meeting, as it had habitually been, was under
I the eye of the officers of the Police and other
! persons detailed for the same object, and that
j the Chronicle’s “ near two hundred negroes”
■ did not actually exceed sixty or seventy indi
viduals! To have come even that near the
! truth, is, however, matter for some hope of re
formation in that quarter. Whence, too, come
j these tracts, against which they show such pa
! triotic indignation 1 Do you imagine that they
! all come from the fanatics? Fel'ow-citizens,
j enquire, if these fanatics are not secretly insti
l gated by some of the very men, who are thus
! attempting to excite you to your ruin—if they,
■ not the mischievous authors of these publica
, lions, do notsend them to our citizens and Pos
t! Masters. Why do those, who receive them,
I keep, and show them, appaiently, it is acknow
| ledged, with the greatest reluctance ? They'
I are respectable men—show them secretly—
I don’t intend any breach of the public statute,
; either in letter or spirit!—We ask, fellow-citi-
nens, why are they not given to be burnt by the
public hangman ? Point us to a single Union
man, or Union Post-Master, who has received a
copy of these infamous publications. We have
investigated this matter,and with a single excep
tion, in this county, have found those, receiving
them, all Sullificrs. Think you, the fanatics
would send these publications to those, who, be
i fore the public, appear their most inveterate
enemies, swearing against them vengeance
here and damnation hereafter? No; if the
fanatics sent them, they would have directed
j them to those, who, these Nullifiers would per
j suade the public to believe, were at least conni
! ring at their schemes. Does not this fact speak
! volumes? Can a stronger inference be drawn
! from any train of circumstantial evidence?
1 These reckless agitators would stake their
hope of Heaven for power, and we must be al
lowed to add, that those, who would thusaceom-
I plish their purpose, deserve the eternal conse
! quences of such a venture. We speak plain,
! but under the serious conviction, that, though
. in so general an accusation we certainly' do the
great bodyofour opponents injustice; yetsomuch
truth is believed to have b;en spoken of some of
! the leaders and those leader’s tools, that it be
j comes them, as a party, to disabuse the public
mind, and disavow all countenance of such
workers of evil, here or elsewhere. If any are
thus guilty, let them be denounced, and the
whole party unite with us in finding and drag
ging the culprits to justice. We assure them we
are not the only’ one entertaining the suspicions
to which we have given utterance; it has be
come a subject of serious consideration, and
circumstances give too deep a coloring to the
accusation, to be longei Jneglccted.

“We heard,” says the Sentinel of this morn
ing, “ the desire expressed by several of our
readers, to see the proceedings of the meeting
j in N. York, &c. and we, therefore, give them”
: &c. If that meeting’s result had been different,
; would the Sentinel have required the expression
of such a modest desire, on the part of any of
i its readers, before the proceedings would have
been trumpeted to the world ? We see it is
wonderfully cautionus itself this morning—can
it receive such a compliment for its correspon
dents ?

The Chronicle wonders, if the Col. Foster
who addressed the N. York meeting of South
i erners was the “Col. Foster of Greene.” Now
we would say, from the good sense which dis
tinguishes his speech, it was our friend, Col.
> 'l'homas Flournoy Foster, of Greene. He “de
fied the fanatics,” because he knew, if they were
not “addle-headed fools” as Col. Knapp of Bos-
1 ton called ihem, they were at least a contempti
’ ble, —not minority,—but handfull, compared
with the solid mass of sound population of the
Northern States, and would not, by countenanc
ing the projects proposed at that meeting, mis
take a mole hill for a mountain.
5 COAL AND RAIL ROADS.
, A correspondent at Campbell’s Station, Tenn.
informs us, that vast quantities of Coal are
I found, where the Tennessee River breaks
, through the Cumberland mountain, at the Suck,
and intimates the great importance of this fact
tn connexion with the extension of the Uwion
Rail Road towards that quarter. Reconsiders
certain, and that at no distant day, the construc
, lion of Rail Roads, one from N. Orleans to the
. Tennesse River above the Muscle Shoals, and
, another from Mobile to the same point; and
, that these roads will’be some where connected
( with the one, now being constructed from this
City to Athens,if extended as some contemplate.
, He suggests the importance of this communi
cation, in case of a maratime war,sforming the
means of intercourse between Louisiana and
( the Chesapeake Bay, and considers this Coal
an important article of trade for New Orleans,
( Mobile and this City, forming for the cars their
, principal back-loading, during the comparative
, commercial leisure ol the summer season. We
1 take this opportunity of thanking our Corres
pondent for his communication.

Judge PitKETTof Alabamaspoke as follows:
The state of his health and a want of prepa
ration should i he said) admonish him of the im
’ proprietyt.f saying any thing. He arrived here
but yesterday, and was not apprised until a
, day or two since ofthe proposed call. He con
sidered it altogether unnecessary and prema-
I tore, and had he been here at the assembly
> which originated this meeting, he should have
’ opposed it. lie came here now, more to allay
» excitement than to discuss the question,— to pour
I oil upon the already too much troubled waters
: rather than increase the agitation. He was
: decidedly in favor of striking out the resolution
- introduced by the Committee. He saw no oc
, casion to give such importance, (as the
> resolution contemplated,) to the efforts of
- those deluded men, (the Abolitionists.) He
- had spent the last six weeks in the Eastern
I States, and had conversed freely’ with many of
’ the intelligent gentlemen in the country, had
been pleased to learn that the great bulk of the
■ people were utterly ojtposed to agitating or in
termeddling with this matter. They considered
it a local question, which the Constitution,as well
as every sentiment of humanity, forbade them to
■ touch. Why then recommend a call of a con
vention ofthe Southern States? It would not
only tend to foment jealousies between the North'
and South, but it would be giving an importance
to the efforts of the Abolitionists, which circum
stances do not justfy. Judge P. said he had an a-
! biding confidence in the intelligence and frater
nal feeling of his Northern brethren on this im
portant question, and viewing it in this light, he
■ was in favor of striking out the original resolu
! tion for the purpose of adopting the substitute.
Augusta, July 31, 1835.
Mr. Editor:— ln a letter received from the
North tha writer says, “I am sorry to hear that
there is more sickness both at Savannah and
Augusta, than there has been for many years
past.” I have remained here through the sum
mer for the past 8 years, except the last season,
and can say, that this summer has, so far, been
the most healthy and pleasant of them all. We
have fine cooling showers every week, and not
musquetoes enough to require pavillions. I
know of no one sick, scarcely of anv one com
plaining. The doctors say, it i dull times in
deed—the people are dreadfully healthy. The
letter writers from this quarter must want some
thing to fill out with. Let them, then, describe
the fine growing crops, both corn and cotton
write, that, instead of late crops, we shall have
new cotton here earlier than usual, andin great
er quantity than last season—that corn is mow
87j cents and will be much less soon—that the
new cotton will bring 18 cents—perhaps more
at first—that, although groceries are high at
the North, the high price of the Southern staple
will enable the planter to pay the corresponding
advance here for his fall supplies—and that
monev is plenty. Let them tell their Southern
friends at the North, to buy their goods for
cash, and give their notes here to the BanJcs
for discount, and get theii checks, which they
are glad to give, at par on the North, Charles
ton and Savannah—a new era, by the hye in
