Before daring this communication I decov it proper to advert to another sab- Jjtct connected with invoices. According I to the collection law of 1799, invoices were to exhibjt the actual and real cost of the goods; but by the supplementary act of 20th April, 1818, they are to exhibit the tme value of the goods, in thair setup! state of manufacture, at the place from which the same were imported. The difference here alluded to, will be ohvjous from a comparison of the provi sions of the former, with the prolusions of the/atter law; nor can the object and po licy of thy Legislature, in making the alte ration, be misconceived. Under the old collection law, many impositions, it is apprehended, were prac tised on the revenue, by false invoices, predicated bn fictitious sales, See.; which impositions were the more readily carried into execution, from the circumstance that the. invoices were to exhibit the costs, and Hot the value, of the goods. > By a proper attention in ascertaining the state of foreign markets, and the gene ral prices given for articles, their true va lue can always be determined, and by that means a complete check will be afforded bv the supplementary collection law, in detecting fraudulent invoices. It is not the interest of the revenue alone, which will be subserved, by a care ful and vigilant execution of the duties of your offitto. in this respect. The interests , rcspcc of the. honest trader will thereby lie pro tccted, which, of itself, makes the subject of great importance, and will, I leel satis fied, continue to claim that attention from you which it deserves. Respectfully, JOSEPH ANDERSON. jt’ Washington, May 13. Tic correspondence between Lord Coc- ^ Inane and captain Biddle has been the Hs'ibjcct of some remarks iu the newspa- ^p.-rs, which might have been well spared, because nut less unjust than inconsiderate to the first place <he shape in,which we fiuff flie document; is at least questiona ble. They are translated fiom a Chilian paper; and they must have been translated ft oni the originals before they appeared there, as my Lard Cochrane has probably not been loug enough iu his new vocation fo write the language of the country un der whose banner he has enlisted; and it l-.e had, wo are sure captain B. did nut answer him iu any tongue but that his mo fher taught him. It is not very likely, af ter this translation from a translation, this double filtration, that the letters now pub lished retain much resemblau :e to the originals. Since the gallant admiral—for bravery has always been allowed him— fus, t > suit some purpose, caused this cor respondence to be published in Chili, and, mutilated as it is by toe inode ol its trans mission, it has found its wav into our pa pers. it would be well that the correspon dence, in its genuine shape, should be laid before the American people. Not that we suppose, from what has appeared, that any blame is imputable to captain U. upon the statement now presetted to us. Wr doubt not, he knows his duty; and knowing it, he would not have exhibited the character istic of our naval officers if he bad failed in its performance. Our officers are not sent atmarff to be schooled by the admirals or Lords of any nation on earth:—.Vat. InW'igcucer. •* fUliUC LANDS. Our attention has been attracted by the following pai sgraph,stating tart* entitled t,, ill • attention of one legislators, and highly disreputable to those whs have en gaged ir. the speculation it unfolds. The mode of disposing ol live national d imam is a subject to wliich the atteniion of the r.ciit congress cannot be refused; and these occ it ienci 5. serve to shew tout human vir tue most not He the basis e.l tbo system to be devised. It will also he an enquiry well worth the lime employed in it, win (h- str, lYuui various considerations nut liacts- r..ry to lie paiticulai .red, too public, land? ace not too indu»triou,ly forced into mar ket by acts of congress. The proposition, *<ritatcd at the last session, to change the i..o i: of disposing of tiie public larnls, has been noticed by several writers in the Vi.e»ieri! i ’.pr-s, of whom some approve an^/sji.ie condemn the proposed change. It appears to us, however, t int on tula question, among the writers in the news papers, the .lye* have it; and so w-e hope thev wifi in congress, when the question conies to be reconsidered there at the next .session.—t A. Claihohne, (Alabama.) April 9. A gentleman direct from (he laud sales at Cahaba,states that, in coasequeace of a combination of t!ie land speculators, the sales have been postponed. The company consisting of about -to. deposited one thousand dollars each, and agreed not to bid over two dollars per acre lor any land which might be offend. That two valua ble townships were bid oft' at that price, when the register oidered ihe sales to be postponed. These townships were then sold at auction by the company, and the net profit arising Jr«m the re-saic of land, nviounted to S>l9bO to each individual concerned. 'Ve presume that the gentle men speculators formed their plans oji the commonly received principle, that the pub lic is a goose, and that win Ic its enchanting plumage offered so many temptation* to pluck a few feathers, uo other danger was to be apprehended than that of being his sed at.' . L-J TEST FROM SP.l IY. NonvocK, liny 10 - We Save received from our Gibraltar correspondent communication of thi 1 date o’f March the lOtn, from which »c luve made the subjoined extracts, of no less intciest than many'a piragr-ipn winch Iu* gone the roun J of publication iu these dry times. “The post from Cadiz this morning in forms rot of the terrible consternation ul the people there in consequence oif receiv ing intelligence of the capture ®i the Spia- Mh frigate Maria Isabel, of 44 guns, with iattr transports, having nearly 20U0 troops on board, which sailed from Cadiz tor Lima, about eight montas ago (-Our cor- respondeatthe.'i giv-sthe Sptinisu account of the disaster," which is nearly the same as the one.which has been already publish ed, j •. < ‘•My friend adds, that the intelligence is confirmed by tne arrival of the Madrid mall, and that the sensation it produced .ra the metropolis was unexampled— it was the greatest damper ofjill the disasters since the commencement of the revolution. At the time of the arrival o( the news in Cadiz, another expedition for Lima, of 2000 men, under Convoy of the San Talmo, 74; Diana, 44, and 6 trans ports, was ready co saiipbut the panic crea ted by the loss of the first division was so great, that the proper authority deemed it eapedientto wait tlie further brrlers of the k'og, aficr the unfortuna e news should be made known to him. In consequence, his majesty lias directed the expedition to be delayed until the line of the battle ships Alexander 1st. and San Fernando, and the frigate Fereuba, and inure transports, can he wet ready—and when that will be, says my°eorrespondent, Heaven only knows.— ihe effect ol this intelligence, be further observes, will be a certain detention of the vrtntl expedition lor Buenos Ayres, lor a lung time, if not a total ubandoment ol it. “Fur any public purpose,you will please to pot this n.ourr.’ul tale in a dress more suitable to the solemn dignity of the sub j-ct than I have leisure to give it—fiutfor- •'ulting the profound respect which your duty, as caterers ol good news, obliges you to observe towards a nation in peace and arnitv wit i all the United States, (except Baltimore) and what your Christian char ities should cause you to leel for the mis fortunes of the augst protector of the inqui sition &c. Meanwhile I shall uot be un mindful ol duty, in giving you further accounts of the operations ol this intelli gence in Madrid and elsewhere, and real Fv expect that I shall somr have something to communicate which will shew m you. paper somewhat in the style ol former times, when it was so common with you to say, “We stop the press to announce, ij'c. fkc. “1 informed you in my list of the arri val of William D.

Experience has shewn that while that province was held by ano ing the sword of just vengeance against ther power,, we could never be secure a ihe oppressors of your country. Yes— .gainst Indian hostilities in their worst oar independence—an event evflr memo rial in the hi-t-irv of nation*. Tnis achiev ed, f twas neither consistant with b your own patriotic feelings, nor compatible with the wishes of agratefu! people, that you should retite to the peaceful shades of private Iile—ami from that period to the present, you have been constantly employed in the service of our beloied country. You have been indeed one of the latners of our re public—you have nursed it from infancy to manhood, and have protected its interest with u firmness and constancy which no difficulties could appal. It is not de^ii-d. necessary in the pre- sentaJdrt*. to advert to .he many impor tant occurrences which have distinguished your administration. But for tlie citizens of Georgia, not to mention tlie acquisition of the Fioridas, as an event cplcnlated to throw a lustra around it, would betray a destitution of judgment and a dereliction ofgfatefu. scnsiuility. Under tka genial in fluence of your mild and impartial admin istration, parly spirit; that tiaoe of oor tranquility, has been allayed—agricultuie, commerce and the arts, have been encou raged—and our country lidsbeen iu a state of progressive advancement in prospsrity and happiness. W'e should do injustice therefore, to our own feelings, if we were not to embrace thi* opportunity of ottering to vour acceptance the just, the .mail tri- outed of our unfeigned approbation. The lalu memorable conflict with Great Britain, which terminated iri the vindica tion of a nation’s rights, has illustrated tlie efficiency and stability ol our government, and placed it high on the rolls of kune. In this conflict too was afforded the stron gest possible evidence of the exalted valor, skill and good conduct of the army and navy of the United Slates, and if tne con stancy and patriotism of her citizens.— Yet nas it, nevertheless, proven how deffi- cientwe then were in the means ol defence; and how necessary it >vas that prompt and efficient measure* should be taken to re medy so great an evil. To plate our sea coast in an attitude ol defence, and to be prepared agaiust any future attempt at invasion, lias demanded much of your personal atteniion—and to mis may be ascribed tire journey which lias given Georgia the honor of your visit. Remote as we aie from the seat of tli* literal government—westill perceive that wc are not beyond the reach of its protec f»nn. and that our interior was exposed, more particularly the neighboring States, ; to'euf ry other species of annoyance, which could proceed from savage neighbors, li able to be practised no, and seduced, by indignent and grasping adventurers, from every country. Among the important con sequences attending this adjustment, it i- proper to nonce the security in which it places our peaceful relations with Spain, ' wnich were otherwise exposed to eminiii- eut danger. A general view of its advan tages, need not be given. They will be fully understood and duly appreciated by the public. On the continuance of my best exertions, to administer the government on its true principles, and thereby to strengthen aud support them, and to advance the prosper ity of my country, and the happienss of my fellow.citizens, you may confidently rely; seeking in return, only, such support in t(ic discharge of my duty, as the public inte rest may require, and such favorable opin ion, of my conduct and motives, on my re treat,.as I may merit. I will add, that on such sopjmtJ~5nd favorable opinion, I confidently rely.
