' j jrtS ddJk SAVANNAH republic Tuesday Evening, _June SV18i6. PRESIDENTIAL election.. We have often been asked how the votes *i|I , r t u Presidential election; and have com.lv, M»«™g our re " lere ’ ?“* 8tat f Llrfwe Offer, we Polish ‘™lff and smcerelj our opinion, wit^ any view to influence or mislead. •Vermont fNew-Hampshire •Connecticut •Massachusetts t Rhode-Island •New-York tNew Jersey ^Pennsylvania •Delaware ^Maryland fV'irginia tNorth-Carolina •South-Carolina •Georgia ^Tennessee ^Kentucky fOhio •Louisiana •Indiana We venture to assert that, relying on time to verify our prediction, that the above result will not vary five votes, one way or the other. That Monroe and Tompkins will receive 176 votes, and that the federal candidate or any body else will receive; 45 votes. Had Monroe not been which every man owes to the public weal nominated, the votes would have stood as above —Caucuses to the contrary notwithstanding. h m*i Lamps louroiei Waticlu ___ was committed'on thfe person of "Mr. Bell, who was stopped close'tq the store of Norton & Wadiiams, (opposite A^Ltfw & Co*s) and rob- >ed of his money by a man,- who held a dag ger to his breast. Tne robber did not demand lis watch. Darkness is favorable, to scenes of this nature. A house', in Broughton-street, was robbed, last week, at an early hour. The utility of dram-shops, or licenses to re tail spirits less than a quart, is very questiona- jle. The Corporation draw a revenue from li censes and billiard-rooms, where liquor is sold also, and from fines imposed on those who re tail without leave. Increase the license and li mit the number to one hundred, (e#. qr.) for example; but no license for less than one quart of spirits. In a population of two thousand five hundred, one hundred shops ,would suffice, or one for every twepty-five. This would by the competition, dimmish the trade; and the reve nue drawn from direct taxation or from sales of goods on commission, is better than one dedu ced from the contamination of the public mo rals, Cleanliness and temperance, necessary every where, are peculiarly so here. Alas! disre garding the admonitions of our beneficent Cre ator, how long shall hecatombs of human vic tims be offered up an unnecessary and cruel sacrifice. Ah! will neither precept or example prove salutary to man. Destroy miasma or noxious exhalations, you remove contagion— keep the city clean, you keep it healthy—apply quick-lime, of which there is plenty, to the vaults, white-wash the houses and cellars, and freely ventilate all the apartments. Resulting from observation and experience, these hints are very respectfully submitted to my fellow-citizens. The means are cheap and within every man’s power. The intention is to offer a mite towards those contributions ate hereby notifteiLthatthe i per centtnh witlbe^received at.

Extract of a letter from agentleman in JV*ew Orleans to his friend in this city, dated May 24, 1816. “Our city is nearly .inundated by a crevass or breach having been made in the Levee or em barkment of the Mississippi by the force of the water, which is now at its spring-flood and flows with immense impetuosity, and being se veral feet higher than the marginal country, breaks down upon it in qne irresistible torrent, which has now nearly covered the city, although the crevass is six miles above it. New-Orleans exhibits at this time, the novel appearance of a sub-marine city, where the intercourse is main tained by boats and the fertile fields and highly cultivated gardens circumjacent to it, on the left bank of the river, presents to view nothing but one vast lake or unbroken sheet of water: a line immediately on the parallel of the river of one hundred or one hundred and fifty yards, is the only part of the city remaining dry, and we have reason to hope that it will not be permitted to come any further. The surface of the land, from the bank of the river to Lake Ponchartrain is marked with an ample ‘declivity to carry the water off was its transmission graxlual; but hi therto its course has been so rapid, that it has spread in every direction; but as the pools swamps, crevices and low places have generally received a level, and the river nearly at its ex treme height, we calculate it will graduah’v dis embogue itself through the lake info the BPJ of Mexico, without extending its ravages beyond the present limits. We have much to Fear tliat the retiring of the waters will produce pesti lence, and there seems hardly a doubt of it in the minds ef those who have witnessed former inundations.” The Georgia Journal, commenting on the caucus-minority"’s “Exposition of Motives,” &c. remarks, “that the people of Georgia ought to know for whom their representatives voted in caucus.” In this we perfectly agree with the Journal, and so soon as we can obtain a correct statement of the votes, shall give them to v the people. The two sailors who were found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged on the 15th July next for high way robbery, have been pardoned by the Executive of the State. Mr. Hyde Hi Newville, the*hew ambassa dor to the United States, from the French go vernment, arrived at New-York, on the 15th instant, in the French frigate Eurydice. Jacques Villere has been nominated as a candidate for the office of Governor of Louisi ana, at the ensuing election, in opposition to Governor Claiborne. , SAVANNAH, ITS HEALTH AND IMPROVEMENTS. On this subject, I do not know a cheaper, more grateful, and really useful improvement, than to gravel the walk on the Bay, from Tel fair’s house to Howard’s wharf. Gravel is of ten brought as ballast, and can be had at little more than the expense of hauling. From its being composed of granite and schistus or flint, * re t&ins a cooling and humid property—re eves dust, is firm under foot, and grateful to e e ye, from its color, (generally dark)-—not Late London papers inform us that “Prince Leopold of Cobourg, after having suffered ex cruciating torture from the tooth-ache, was pre vailed upon to submit to an operation;" the tooth being carefully extracted by the Dentist Extra ordinary to his royal highness the prince regent we are nappy to be able to announce to an anxi ous and enquiring public, that his serene high ness is much better and slept reasonably wel last night.”—Baltimore paper By the schooner Sally, captain Dominick, from Cuba, we learn, that the schooner Phantom, of Charleston, was fitted out at Barracoa, under Spanish colors, manned by American and British seamen, who volunteered tneir services to go in quest of a pirate, hovering round the coast, who had committed considerable depredations.— They ran her ashore and burnt her. Her crew consisted of eleven seamen, seven of whom were taken and brought to Barracoa in irons the day before captain Dominick sailed. The other four had escaped among the bushes, but were searched for and probably found.—JVew-York Gazette. - • affi. • 0 • • Married, on Saturday evening last, by the rev. B.

' The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman passenger on board the British brig Duke of W ellington, captain Chancellor,i dated at Fernundina, (Amelia Island) 15th instant: “After a very boisterous passage of six days, I have ar. rived at this place, but with great difficulty ! assure you; having encountered a severe gale, in which the ship Hu ron, captain Snow, which sailed from Charleston two days before us, for St. Mary’s, was driven on shore to the southward of St. Augustine.” [The Huron sailed from this port on Monday, 3d inst. in company with the brig William, Kennedy,’ both for St. Mary’s.] Port ofjVassau, (JV*. P.) June 12. The Spanish ship La Rosa, Capot, has been cast away on Abaco, having on board upwards of 300 slaves from Bony in Africa, bound to Havana—the siaves, together with the crew, were all safe landed by several vessels be. longing to these islands, upon Abaco, where they now re main. By a vessel arrived from the coast of Florida, we learn that a severe gale of wind commenced in the gulf on Wednesday, the 5th inst. and continued to blow with great violence until the 8th, by which many vessels have been wrecked. " The schooner Zanga, Russel, of this port, was cast away at Sound Point, on the 6th; the car go has been "saved and brought up in the Eagle. The American schooner General Pike, Emery, master, from Chasleston bound to Matartzas, was wrecked at the same place,- on the same day; part of the cargo has been saved. Mr. Preston, who was a passenger in the Zanga, arrived here last night. " A brig was seen on the reef to the northward of Sound Point, which in a few minutes disappeared—A sloop also appeared in great distress, near where the brig was seen. A brig (name unknown) from Boston to Havana, was driven on shore at Sturrups Key, but got off with the loss of her deck load. The sloop Fairy, Thrift, of this port, is on shore at Key Tabamier, ha ving lost her mast. The Eagle on her passage from Florida, spoke a brig from New-Orleans, in distress. During the gale many vessels were seen scudding before it. THE FISHERIES. Portsmouth, (:t. rt.) June 8.
