time; Hero, and the infamous George of Cap- fl iodah?s been transformed into the renowned Saint of England, the patron of arms, of chivalry, and of die Garter” - To avoii the unnecessary occupancy of our columns by many tickets, differing but-trivilly with each other, we have embodied, in the following list, the names of all the candidates for Aldermen, savannah republican. — f Saturday Evening, August 24, 1816. The federal party, during the war, pretended to have no confidence in the national credit, and discouraged, under all circumstances, and even on terms of usurious interest, the loaning of mo ney to the government. They opposed it in public and in private, on the floor of Congress, an d at their “Cossack feasts” and their “mid night. orgies.” The nation then was to become bankrupt, because federalists had converted their patriotism into a systematic rebellion against its interests, and were determined not only to deny their assistance, but openly and un equivocally advocated a decided and treasonable opposition!—They were patriots! Whether they were seen conspiring with John Henry, against the liberties of the republic, or collecting specie to pay oflfhis majesty’s troops in Canada, their conduct was patriotic! because, forsooth, our administration was not federal;—.not because the course which our government pursued was not conducive to our prosperity, but because we were at war with Britain, who had “ueuer done v.s any essential injury.” The war has now closed, and the obstructions which before preclu ded the filling up of loans have now ceased to ex ist. As the money which has been wanted since the wav, was not to operate against Britain, the f a \th of the federalists in the ability of the nation, h a s met with a surprising revolution! They are now* willing to loan their money on advan tageous terms, without a single symptom of fear of bankruptcy which they had themselves at tempted to effect; but which they could not suc ceed in. But a short time since, the affairs of the ad ministration were attempted to be obstructed and the officers of the government opposed bv an armed banditti of the opposition—Now that the effervescence of political delirium has in some measure abated, in consequence of the pre tended moderation of the principal federal lead ers, whose conduct, in this instance, was guided *>7 a consciousness that the people were becom ing disgusted with their vile projects; we believe there are very few, among the sensible and en lightened federal yeomanry, who do not look back upon those base attempts to bring destruc tion upon our nation, with sentiments of regret and horror. And we congratulate the friends of the country, upon prospects which, in case of a future war, will tend to an unity of interests and exes . ions. The spirit of hostility to the present adminis tration. appears in a great degree to have sub sided. Among the head managers of the fed eral party, this must be attributed to motives of policy; but among Die well meaning federal ists. we believe it to be dictated by the purest conviction of the wisdom and expediency of re publican measures. The great body of the peo ple wish well to the interests pfthe country, and entertain for it a warm attachment. We have had the most satisfactory demonstration, that if they are left to themselves,«nim'iuenced by dem agogues, they will act correctly; and, in spite of the exertions of the disorganizing to corrode the public mind, the people are fast forgetting those dissentions which have a longtime distracted it, 1 and are .returning to the paths of political recti tude. — During the sitting of the treasonable Hartford Convention, it was advocated by the leading federalists throughout the union; but now, we can scarcely find a man base and wicked enough to own that he was a disciple of such dangerous tenets, and they shrink from the accusation as from the breath of pollution. Who is there, among the fed4j^fists, who now justifies an open and actual rebellion against the powers of the American nation? Who is there, banish ing those incitements which should bind him to his coun ry, would w ish to give life and vigor to an active opposition to its best interests. An experimencyha^j been tried which was found untenable, and unfit to accomplish those pur poses for which it had been devised—and in deed it was of no immediate effect, except to hold up to public execration the enemies of the country, who were engaged in that conspiracy, and to make proselytes to republicanism!

The quantity of materials for building, the rubbish of j idled down Louses, and of other repairs, andthenum- er of Cows that now make their beds in the streets and. lanes, have become a serious nuisance, andiare produc tive of frequent injury. Scarcely a night passes over without inconvenience or accident occurring. While it is a source of gratification to mark the rapid improvement in every part of the city, and while ti.-e li berality of Council is properly extended to builders in making use of a portion of the streets, &.c. some iittle regard should be had for the convenience and safety of the community. In return for such privileges a -well lighted Lamp should be suspended near the place so im proving, or the house thus moving, should be lighted at dusk, (and not at 9 o’clock, when the greater part of walking is over,) and should afford good light til! day light. The City Watch might be instructed to snuff the wick occasionally'. Tne attention of the proper authority is respectfully solicited to the Ordinances in sucii cases made and pro vided. Such a notice will save the painful necessity of lodg ing information against individuals thus offending. A CITIZEN. FROM SOUTH AMERICA. The following article is copied from the Demerara Ga zette, received at New York by the British brig Mary, arrived there in 28 days from Demerara. “It appears from recent accounts from Vera Cruz, that the death of the independent chief Morelos, has by no means debilitated the spirit of the revolution, which con tinues with the greatest vigor. Frequent actions take place. The independents had advanced towards the capital of Mexico, and a party had even entered the sub- erbs of San Lazaro; another division had also approach ed the walls of Vera Cruz, and killed the sentinel at the gates, laving waste all the country round. All the fines of communication are in the hands of the indepen dents. “The general congress of the independents had again assembled in the city of Techonacon, and D. F. Bravo, one of the generals, had been chosen president. Gene- r<d Morelos, who had been lateiy hung by the Spanish government, when first taken prisoner, was confined in the inquision of Mexico, and tried for being a heretic, since he had thrown off his priesthood to become a general. He defended his own cause and was absolved. He was then, delivered over to the royal court, and con demned for high treason. Before he was executed, the i Spanish bishops dressed him in ail his sacerdotal robes j of which he was afterwards delivered in a canonical man ner, and formally degraded. It is singular that two priests have been the most active generals of the Mexi can revolution.”—Charleston City Gazette, 22d met. Port Roval, July 13. The following is an extract of a letter from Christopher Hughes, esq. commissioner from the United States, to his friend in Kingston, dated United States' ship Macedonian, Santa Martha, June 16, 1816. “We were received most graciously by M. Montalvo, captain general, and I obtained from him an immediate liberation of all the citizens of the United States, who were still in confinement at Carthagena, with an order to the governor of this place to release such as might be in •confinement here. For the purpose of receiving the lat ter on board, of this ship, we called inhere; they were promptly sent on board;. mong them are several British subjects who availed themselves of; iiis opportunity ot ob taining their freedom. I need not say it afforded captain Warrington and myself much satisfaction to receive them and put them on the same footing with our countrymen, who had been their fellow sufferers; such of them as wish, will go on board the Tay, for Jamaica, and if there are any that may prefer going to the United States, they, may remain in the Macedonian for tlral purpose.” STEAM BOATS. We are on the eve of the greatest experiment which has been undertaken during the present age. A Steam Boat is about to brave the Atlantic and cross from New- York to Russia. The consequences of this enterprise who will predict? It may open a new aera in the art of na vigation—It may dispense with the lagging and variable agency of winds and waves. It may bring the two worlds nearer together; it may shorten the passage from 25 to 15 days. A first experiment is every thing—wno does not wish it success? If the expedition of the Argo nauts gave immortality to Jason; if to pass the pillars of Hercules was ouce so wonderful a feat of courage; if to cross the Atlantic has given a deathless fame to the name of Columbus; who will deny some portion of credit to the gallant adventurers who are the first to traverse the dangers of the deep with steam? What a source of pride that these men are Americans! We are the first to invent the Steam Boat—we are the first to ply it to its noblest purposes. One of the greatest difficulties it has to encounter, is the transportation of fuel—Can they carry enough of it? But when it is recollected, that by crossing the guiph stream, instead of going doom it: by tracing the struight- est and shortest line to the destined port; to always “keep moving,” instead of waiting for the wind, the passage may be shortened, tiffs difficulty may be reduced, if not removed. Beside, may not coked coal be better than any other fuel?—ilichmond Enquirer. A Paris paper ofthe 1st July, contains the fol lowing; paragraph, and gives it as official: “Pe- lignier, one of the twenty eight conspirators has insisted in court, that he has facts to commu nicate to the king, facts which will save France; hut he will communicate them only to the king in person,” If is stated under the Vienrta head that the French generals Lallemand and Savary had their escape from Malta; and letters from °nstantinople, to May 12, received in Eng- ^ anf l, mention that they had arrived there; and ei e supposed to be going to Russia. Ahel Boynton, of Massachusetts, is appoint- ,7^ e Resident of the United States, consul ^ island of Curratoa* privilege of using of We understand that the exclusive steam boats in Russia, for a certain number of years, has been tendered to the widow and heirs of the late Mr. ‘Fulton, unsolicited, by the emperor Alexander, on the ground that Mr. Fulton was the real inventor of the mode of propelling vessels by steam. This act of liber ality reflects honor as well upon the emperor, as upon our distinguished countryman. Captain Reid, well known as the commander of the General Armstrong pri vateer, we are told, will probably go out with Mr. Col- den, as commander of the boat.—jYexO-York paper. In the Knoxville Gazette of August 3, it is said, that “there is a report in town, said to be founded on respec table authority, that the secretary at war has declared that commissioners have be \i, or will be appointed to ascertain the western line of the Cherokee nation, as it existed before and at the time of the late war with the Creeks; to the end, that if any imposition was practised on the government, in forming the late treaty with the Cherokees, it may be corrected.” We have no doubt the fact is as stated, so far that commissioners have been designated, for the purpose of negociating with the Che rokees for the extinction of the Cherokee title to the lands on which the people of Tennessefe have set so much value, and now included within the Cherokee boundary. We have no official information on this sub ject, but from that of common report, we are induced to believe that this step was taken long before the Tennes see meetings on the Subject were known of, if not before they were held, and proceeded from a conviction of the value of this land to the United States; which naturally led the administration, attentive as well to the national in terest as to the wishes of the people of the west, to fen? deavor to obtain pbssessidn, by amicable fiegociatiofl; of that land to which; it- had been decided, the title #as in the Cherokee nation.—-National InteUigenCtt. —T- — KENttTCltY ET-RCTtOff. The election in Kentucky took place on Monday week. The contest has been warm and protracted.— Never perhaps has more ink been shed or more exer tions used at any single election in the United, States, than there has been on this occasion in several of the dis tricts of Kentucky. We have returns from several counties, which however afford us no crL-eria whereby to judge certainly of the final results. The following are the returns for the 15th congress which we have seen:— [At the close of tlie first day’s poll.] Bourbon county. Joseph Desha 477. William Garrard 379. Mason county. Garrard 344.

A very sp.emud dinner was given to him o,: Wednesday, at which were present more than three hundred citizens and strangers. Commodore Decatur’s toast Was “the citizens of Petersburg-—they render ho nor to others for sertices which they themselves have exceeded.” The toast of the Mayor was—“Commodore Decatur—his deeds of valor at Tripoli, and negociation at Algiers, while they do honor to himself and the coun try, are a living, monument to all Europe.” Another toast was—“ Our distinguished guest—whether wielding the Sword, or waving the Olive Branch, he is greeted by the well earned plaudits of ins country.”—Baltimore Pat riot.

There is a report in town, said to be founded on re spectable authority 7 , that the secretary at war has declar ed that commissioners have been, or will be appointed to ascertain tbe western line of the Cherokee nation, as it existed before, and at the time of the lute war with the Creeks; to the end, that if any imposition w. s practised on the government, in forming the late treaty with the Cherokees, it may be corrected. (ff This is what ought to be done. A stranger of suspicious appearance, was taken up in the streets a few day's since, by one of the police consta bles, and on examination, more than two thousand dollars or counterfeit bank bills, were found upon him, of which two hundred dollars were of denominations less than a dollar.—Albany Argus. Mr. Edward Coles, late private secretary to the presi dent of the Uniied States, is the gentleman who is to take desoatches for Russia. He was in Philadelphia a few days since on his way to Boston, to embark.

A new work has lately been issued from the English press, with tiffs imposing titlp “Factsand Arguments, in disputably demonstrating that the Letters of Junius were written by John* Lewis Dr '(.own, author of the celebrat ed essay on the. English Constitution.” It is from the pen of Dr. Busby. No copies of this work have yet reached tins country.—Charleston City Gazette. The decision made by 7 the conviction of deputies from the banks oi New-York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, lately assembled in Philadelphia, that they' would recommend to the banks of their respectative cities, to fix on the first Monday in July next, for the general and simultaneous resumption of specie payments was com municated to the secretary ot the treasury, by a commit tee who waited on him for that purpose. Although the day fixed is not so eariv as contemplated, we have the satisfaction to learn, that he is disposed to acquiesce in the proposed arrangement, if adopted by all the banks, as we have no doubt it will be.—■Baltimore Federal Ga zelle. AA r e are happy to learn, that, in this city, things are coming round, and that both ends are meeting. Dry goods begin to sell better, money is more abundant, and, as the importations decrease, the goods on hand must go off at better prices. Dry goods are actually scarce in Philadelphia, many opulent men from that city are now here, making large purchases. A few months more, will place good houses on stable, immoveable ground.—New York Gazette, August 13. Air. Job* Scott, late of the city of Edinburgh, chemist, has bequeathed to the corporation of the city of Phila delphia, 3000 dollars of the 3 per cent, stock of the United States, to be applied to the same purpose as doc tor Franklin’s leg-acy, and the further sum of 4000 dol lars of the same stock, the interest of which to be laid out in premiums for ti#' discovery of useful inventions. We are informed that this very laudable and liberal be quest has recently been received by the treasurer of the corporation.-—Philadelphia True American, Among other ill advised measures of the present go vernment of France, is tbe dissolution of the compact of men of letters and since known by the name of Institute, an association whose transactions will do honor to hu man genius in all future ages. A shadow of the sub- stance,has been set up in its stead, and the name of the Academy has been revived. The . names of the mem bers have not been published, but those of the institute, honored by an exclusion, have appeared in the public prints. The Polvtechriick school, in which 15u0 sons of the first families in France have been liberally educated at the public expense, has also been abolished.

We understand that a Steam Boat of 200 tons burthen, was launched a few days since at Sackett’s Harbor, and that it will be shortly ready for the lake.

The Biuoos that ascended from the College at Georgetown the 31st ult. descended at Cove Point, on the Chesapeake, a few miles above the mouth of Patuxent river and about twenty yards from the water of the bay, in five hours from the time of ascent.. The distance is about 50 unites in a straight line. The direction in which the balloori fell was nearly opposite to that in which it ascended.. The wonder of the laboring people at the descent of tin heavenly visitor among them may be well imagined. We believe, however, they did not shoot at it hey thought the serial monster dead, as once hap. :d in England in a similar case, in a part of the coun- feiflr of the people had ever before heard of h Ballobn.—AtoO'en* enefr, — STA’frE PRISON INSURRECTION. Last evening, about 6 o’clock, a desperate attempt was made by the convicts of the State Prison to escape! Seizing a ladder used in erecting a new building within the prison yard, and applying it to the wall, they began to ascend—the guards on the wall, after proper warning, and ordering them to desist, commenced a fire upon them. In defiance however, of this attack of the guards, they continued to ascend and leap from the wall, to the number of about twenty-five. When clear of the wall, they took different directions—some passing over the new bridge—others the fiats for Barrel’s farm, and to wards the burying ground, and the neck. The firing and the alarm bell, soon brought the citizens of the neighbor hood to-the scene; and by their spirited and uncommon- , ly active exertions, with "that of the officers of the prison, in about an hour they were all brought back to the pri son, excepting Nathaniel Maitson and Joseph Betts.— Eleven of the convicts were wounded, two of them dan gerously.—Boston Centinel, August 10. SKILFUL GUNNERY. The artillery company of this town, commanded by captain Bonner, paraded on Wednesday last, and practis ed firing at a target. Thirty-two shot out of forty-seven which were fired, struck the target at nine hundred yards distance.—Boston paper.
