A letter i« received in town from the cap
tain of the ship Elizabeth, which carried out
tlie people of color to Africa. She arrived
at Sherhro in 32 days passage from this port,
and landed all her passengers in good health,
and left them under very favorable circum
stances. The. letter is dated at Turks island,
where the sliijj has arrived on her way home.
The following is an extract:

Soon after the pilot left ns, at Sandy Hook,

for Sierra Lt one, and anchored at that place
on the tilli of March. The Elizabeth was
detained until the ITth, and then sailed for

immediately commenced landing passen

Gentlemen: Permit me to lay before the
public through the medium of your paper,
the following extract from an invaluable work
by Joint Taylor, of Carolina. A Faiimkn.
U ithoot estimating the political influence
ot tlie species of separate interest called
banking, we. can at a glance discover, that a
power to give and receive charters, to draw
woaltji from the people, to shave in it, and
to obtain adherents at the public rxpe
lure. Its pecuniary seductiveness, is exact
ly opposed to the policy, supposed by all
our constitutions to be most likely, to awa
ken the good moral qualities of human na
ture; and exactly such as have constantly a-
tvukrned its evil. Nations, resorting to e-
leetive and representative forms of govern
ment, consider a strict similitude between
the interest of the Lt gislnture ami of the Peo
ple, as the chief security for fidelity. They
have never divided these interest*, by estab
lishing a difference to the extent of* file mil
lions annually, to be paid by the one, and
received in money or power by the other :
no tree constitution has even declared, that
a legislator might legislate wealth to hittisi If
and taxes to the people, and no mail in his
senses ever thinks of securing the honesty of
an agent, a powerful temptation to betray
him—even the King of England cannot him
self pass n law to inflict the million he re
ceives ; whilst the legislators of these states
might receive the five million they inflict by
hanking, and do receive a considerable por
tion of it. On the contrary, all nor constitu
tions consider it as a sacred principle, that
legislators should really, and not minimally,
he affected by the good or evil dispensed h_\
the law, as tint nation is effected. As a ma
jority of a nation cannot he bankers, the o-
petii vg a subscription to all is a formality, the
futi itv of which is demonstrable in the cer
tain aud necessary result of ibis formality—
that invariably places the stockholding legis
lator in a minority; and of rourso he niosl
be affected by every law which effect slock ;
not as the nation are effected, lint as this mi
nority is effected ; (ami in preeisely the same
proportion a* the owners of hank stork are
lien- ,‘ttod, must the nation la- injured, and
as stock is in jured Ivy restrictions, the nation
must he henefltted ) Executive patronage
would become similar to legislative, tl the
executive could both create offices and be
stow them on himself and Ins creatures, as
the latter bestows charters.
Whenever legislators, or men in power of
any denomination, can receive charters, ex-
'Iumvc privileges or emolument which they
•rente, they will incline to make them good
gifts. Accordingly hank stock is so nrami-
liictured as lo sell at an advance, sometimes
as high as fifty per centum. Thus a legisla
tor who creates, subscribes for k sells stock,
converts Ivy his own legal | slight of hand, c-
very dollar lie can raise into 130 cents. This
is undoubtedly « seuod thin pc for him si if.
If England held ail the hank stock in tin
United States, the cheat of this new kind of
slight of hand would he made plain, and all
its promises would vanish, in smoke, helm-
common sense. It would lie instantly seen,
that England, the. stockholder, was drenched
Ivy the div idemls, aud America taxed, and
impoverished by the. notes. By filling the
place of England with three nr four thousand
native aud foreign stockholders, the place of
tile people i* not altered. Such of them as
are members of the IitgLsltfturi will Vote, upon
poliliral questions that elfeel honk stock
artlu ns England wont,I if she hi Id our stork,
and could legislate for us. The ground which
sustains this argument, is that upon which
hanking has spread from state to state
namely, thal tares for individual benefit, ami
not gold for public use, are raised by thi
new slight of hand. Whether taxes are re
pealed by paying them to Tom instead of
Dick, or to a native hanker instead of to En
gland, left to the common sense of the peo
pie to determine.
| Patronage is an instrument by which go
I vernmenfs corrupt a faction, In take part
I wiili them against options, and this gradual
ly acquire more power than the people eve
gave. If this instrument is obtained by f<
reign conquest, as in tin- acquisition of India
by England, the people still suffer for the
iiiieoiislitulional power it confers ; it is iuti-
uiie’y more calamitous to a nation when
gotten by fraudulent domestic operations.
Had the government of the U. States bes
towed upon themselves and their partisans
offices to the v due of five millions annually,
the patronage would have been the sam
with that created by hanking, which unite*
(lie corporation and thu government against
the people, like, sinecure offices to the same
amount. For this vast and boundless modi
of acquiring power,there is j no allowance io
any constitutions—it is a great weight which
was never thrown into the scales by thus
who made them ; can il possibly lie thrown
in by law, and leave the division iff povvei
between a nation and its government, unal
tered ?
In another view, the patronage created lr
banking, spreads out in the United Slides,
far beyond any influence capable of being
produced, by creating offices of the value
just mentioned. The general government
nii.y influence the whole fabric by means of
a power to regulate the places of deposit of
the general taxes, and by regulations as to
the paper which may he received in pay
ment. This influence may reach state legis
lature* as stockholders, and convert the best
harrier devised by tin: principle of division
against usurpation aud consolidation, into .-in
insidious aud secret instrument, for the ends
il was intended to oh-tnn t.
Through this medium, stockholding legis
lators will discover that it is just mid right
tu retain their annuities, by any eo oplianees
for which ill people, not tlteinsi Ives sufli r ;
and a silent revolution which "ill secure or
increase these annuities, will appear to them
to he necessary for the public good.
To this obvious danger weave blinded by
being told, that a separate banking interest
is harmless, because it is not a titled order.
So far from this being true, a separate inte
rest is mo e dangerous, if it ran create, sus
tain and enrich itself without being deTigna-
ted, than if it cannot ; if it assails by sap and
n)inc,than if it assails by the sound of drums,
if Lords could create and enrich lords by
law, ttn- government would sngn b-eume a
feudal aristocracy. If Bishops could create
and enrich Bishops by law, the government
would become an uerarcliical aristocracy.—
So if Stockholders can create and enrich
Stockholders by law, the gov eminent must
i levitubly become a paper aristocracy. H
was the tide or badge of the herarchieal and
feudal orders in England which, by designa
ting the members, afforded the means of coil
trolling and limiting their progress. If on
constitutions required that every Stoekhol
tier should he clothed in a surplice, that In
might be known and excluded from legisla
ttve power, he would like a lord or a bishop
he thereby rendered Ic** dangerous, vvithuu
a b ulge or title, they admit of no control
aiwl the paper interest admits of and is de
signaled by neither. They are what is vul
gai ly called, snakes in the grass.

In the history of our forefathers, we recog
nize two political beasts railed feudal and
hierarchical aristocracy, which have at dif
ferent times fed upon their lives, liberties and
properties. From these inert and subdued
monsters, which are fur away from us, anil
w liicli to say the worst of them, are only in

From St. Augustine.—A serious dis
turbance took place at St. Augustine, on
Friday, the 2d inst. An officer of the re
giment of Mai nga, it appears, had struck
a soldier belonging lo the regiment of
Catalonia, stationed (here ; which so
exasperated the latter regiment, that tlicx
sallied out in a mass, in the evening,
threatening vengeance against all belong
ing to the Conner regiment. Many slugs
were discharged into some of the houses,
hut no lives lost. The Governor finally
succeeded in restoring order in flic gar
rison ; but 2b men of the Catalonia re
giment deserted with their arm*, during
the tumult, arrived at St. Maty’s on NN ed-
nesilay last ; where they disposed of their
ai ms, uniforms, &c. and proceeded on to
Sav annah.
