On motion of Mr. Cleveland, whereas thy

the head or main source of the Chestatce
to the Unacoy road, forms part of the north
western boundary. From (hence the Blue
Ridge Tor the balance of said boundary be
tween the Cherokee Indians and "this state.
It therefore becotr.es necessary that there
should be a line run and plainly marked on
the summit of said ridge, meandering the
same until the line so run intersects the
line run by colonel James Blair, in March
last, which line when so run, shall form the
north-western boundary of the territory he->

Uitacoy road where the line terminated,

oi die honorable Wilson Lumpkin, and the
commissioner so appointed shall under his
superintendance, have said line run aud plain
ly marked on the top of tlie Blue Ridge,
meandering the same until it intersects the
line commonly called Blair's line.
" And it is further resolved, that, the com'
missicner. surveyor and axe and chain-men
as appointed by his excellency the govern
or, shall be entitled to receive for their ser
vices the same compensation as has been
allowed in former business of this kind;
and that his excellency the governor be, and
he is hereby authorized to draw upon the

— Washington City Gazelth, 21th ult.
By a letter from St. Thomas,-Nov. fith
we learn the following particulars of South
America:—
General Bolivar had dispatched general
Anquatugi with 2,500 men to fake Santa-
Mara. Bolivar is busily engaged in organ
izing the army lately raised An Netv-Grena-
da. The nuthber is said to be 8,000. A
portion of the moncytlmt was taken at Santa
Fee had-reached St. Atr-ustura, and some
of it had arrived at St. Thomas. The doub
loons of 1819 are unusually heavy. This
money has given new life to the Patriot
cause. Their army is in a plentiful coun
try and well supplied with provisions and
forage. It is the opinion of our correspon
dent, that if the Patriots do not quarrel, or if
strong reinforcements to the Royalists army
do not arrive from Spain, Moriilo and eve
ry hostile Spaniard will be forced to leave
Venezuela ih less than six months.
General Moriilo, at the latest dates, was
at Ttnaquillo, where he had entr enched him
self. Since he left St. Fernand ezde Apure
and.Colaboza, those pieces ha.been taken
by the Independents.
General Marino with nltout 2,000 men,
are posted at Maturia, in the pros incc of Cu-
mans. Bermudez is at Margaritta, organ-
ting the 1,500 Irish troops, of Dcvereux’s
corps, who have arrived there. These troops
are to unite under general Marino, and
march upon Caraccas.
General Pa«* is said to be advancing from
the army of Bolivar with about 6,000 men,
to attack Moriilo, who is supjtosed to be in
clined to retreat upon the fortified town mid
harbour of Porto Cavello.
We arc assured by our correspondent,
that he has ascertained those facts from au
thentic sources. He further adds, ‘It is
certain that Arauzumcndi, who was sent to
St. Anguslura, as a state prisoner, is now
Vice-President of the Cortez, and has had

about a captain Blunt, who was daily expect
ed at Neuvitas, from Alexandria, which this
captain said he was looking .ter, and if he
took him he should not spare his life, as he
was his deadly enemy, Sic. The captain is
of middling size, dark complexion, and ob

was well acquainted on that part of the coast;

"Cadiz, Oct. 5, 1819.
This dreadful sickness daily increases,
and every day we are doomed to witness
or hear of the death of a relative or friend,
and we know not how soon \ve may follow
them—There are actually 10,000 persons
now sick—91 died on the 3d insU 61 of
which were men. It has spread to Xcres,
Port St. Marys, San Lucar, and even Se
ville. Our theatre, and places of amuse
ment are closed throughout Spain—and
all communication with Andalusia cut off.
So great is the fear at Madrid some there
call it the plague—Public prayers arc order
ed to be offered up in all the churches for
an alleviation of these distressing events.—
In business nothing is doing in any line.

]Thc schooner Caroline, captain Bcdfish,
arrived at Boston on Saturday.—On the 31st
of October, in the Narrows of the Old Ba
hama Streights, at 10 a. M. was brought to
by a piratical schooner, who ordered me to
get my boat out, and come on board with
my papers. When I got on hoard, my pa
pers were taken from me, my boat’s crew
anti myself ordered below, where a guard
was placed over us. They then, with my
boat, went on board the Caroline, and com
menced a strict search for money, and un
luckily found and plundered us of 500 dol
lars, two boat loads of sugars, one case gold
watches, two chests tea, one trunk boots and
shoes, about one half of out* provisions and
small stores, half piece duck, twine and
needles, brass compass, crow-bar, trumpet,
all our spare rigging, all our tools, two
charts, Wcst-Indlu Pilot, paints, half bbls
tat, clothing, fruit, vegetables Etc- When he
got through, he released me, gave me my
papers, and ordered me to return on board,
lie pretended to be an insurgent privateer.
When I remonstrated with him for taking
American property, all the salis&ction I got
was, that he had lost much property him
self, and that he meant now to make up for
it; and that his orders were to take what he
wanted, wherever he could find it—that I
might think myself lucky I fared no worse—
he should have Ibadcd Kis schooner out of
mine, if there was not another schooner in
sight, which he expected would be a better
prize, and when I left him be went immedi

'such men, adcip.ate prov : si«ui for their support
indispensiblc. In times of great na.iomd dan
ger and calamity, it may be expected thut every
patriot, rcgardletw of personal considerations, wiil
levote himself to the publ.c; but while the coun
try is in profound peace, and the inhabitants am
enjoying its blescngs, we should not presume
that competent citizens, whose pecuniary resour
ces *rc limited, can relinquish their dotnesf c com
forts for public honors without due compensation,
t would he unreasonable to expect it. Avoiding
xtravngance on the one hand, and pars inonv on
the other, salaries should he proportionate to tlie
importance and labors of the ofricc, and to the tal
ents which are Accessary, and tlie unavonUble
sacrifices which are incident to a correct discharge
of its duties. Such a course ot conduct wdl rea
der the pijblic service etpndly access blc to tho
