The following curious details have boon received from Christiana, in Nor way ;—On the 7th inst. the barometer rose to the extraordinary height of TJ Indies, Id lines, which lias not taken pi ice here for a great number of years. The sea was eight feet lower on that day than it has been for the last twenty year*. Professor Hanstoen, who measured its height, made also some experiments on the intensity ofthe magnetic force, and found the needle in such agitation that he could obtain no fixed result from his experiments. These different pheno mena appear to portend some extraordi nary revolution in nature. On Monday, 19th Junp, a duel was fought between Messrs. Richard Stuart and Townsend S. Dade, both of King George County, Va. on the Maryland shore, immediately opposite their resi dence, at a short distance, w ith muskets loaded with luck shot. Mr. Dade w.is killed dead j Mr. Stuart so severely wounded that he expired in a few hours after. They were neighbors, near rela tions, and heretofore friends. The un fortunate difference which re.sultod in so tragic an end, occurred about a mere trifle ; and thus adds two more to the list of wretched victims, who have fallen a sacrifice to false notions of honor and the horrid and gothic practice ol'duel- lin<r--—/•<■<■/.

TO THE PUBLIC The natives aflect to pass off with ail air of triumph and success ; they appear to consi der that they have had the dexterity to per vert the remarks of an old Georgian, into an ittempt to injpre the reputation of Mr. Cobb, md to bestow unmerited praises upon the Governor. I am aware that it is the com mon error of gentlemen ofthe gab to resort to hold positions in place pf argument, and a multiplicity of words to puiduec conviction. Indeed, if a man should not he restricted by any principle of decorum, justice or truth, it would not be very difficult to make any case appear plausible. Now, if the indiscriminate support of right and W rung should not have blunted tbe moral perception of there na tives, a simple and candid statement oi facts will present an entirely dill'erent aspect to tlieir \ iew. Mr. Cobb, in a note to his speeeli states, that the memorial had not reached Congress until after tlu* passage of his a- meiiuinent to the. appropriation kill. Now this statement is very equivocally expressed ; but I should apprehend the amendment had only been received or adopted iulo the Lit!; hut was never passed until the final passage of the bill, which was nut until some time af ter tile reception of the memorial. If Mr. Cobh is anxious for public applause, let him not expect it from artifice and imposture.— What is the obvious meaning and intention of this note ? either very unnecessarily uud wantonly to charge the Governor with a ne glected' lii-i duty, or it is an effort to acquire to himself the credit of the appropriation one or the other of these motives is inevi table, the presumption is both. His speech by ltaztding the success of llic.t important measun, had not the public mind and Con gress Iren previously prepared for it. In deed djicacy or discretion have never been atlriblifd to that gentleman as besetting vices. Does not his conduct, and all the cir- ouinstHices of the cum-, discover an extreme ilnpatidicu and mortification, that Governor Clark vna about to acquire some credit for the alifity with which lie had managed this affair—simply as agents of the. legislative w ill, ntithur Governor Clark nor Mr. Cobb could jruteud to any merit; but the manner of its leoomplishnient may entitle the pub lic npuitlo confidence and respect. If the natives liad possessed a little more of that iidriligenee and sagacity with which they have so Impudently and wantonly reproach ed the Governor with the want of, they might have discovered a solid propriety and real ability in the course which the Exeeu i\e has pursued. The memorial & ren*m- strauco are inadmissible upon correct legal constructions, and unsupported by sound principle. The substance, of the ineinuriul ts a claim oil the part of Georgia, that the treaty of 1817, is a valid treaty, and remon strates against tin: treaty of 1819. Now one article of the treaty of 1817, not being fulfil led, it could nut be considered as a valid or compleat treaty ; for the established princi ple which always governs the cunstrucUon of treaties i«, that they must he construed con ditionally ; that every article is mutually dc- >eailing on each other ; that the whole may be defeated, if any luct is incomplete or re mains to ho fullilled: so that the treaty of 1817 could bo considered in no other light than as a pending negoeiation, subject to no modified at the will ofthe contracting par ties. The idea that the Unilul .Stales were acting as the agents of Georgia, and that Georgia became a party to the contract, is inconsistent with every sound principle ol legal construction—Georgia had not a c.qm- eh) to contract; consequently could not de legate a power she did ubt possess, upon every view of the case, tile general govern ment having ultimately and exclusively lin power to determine, upon the convenience and expedience of extn.ghh.hmg e..e Indian title, tlie harsh language oi'iemonsuante aiiJ complaint, (particularly when imsupporieu by suuud principles ol le c al construction j- charging the government with partiality anu inattention to the rights of Unorgiu , cuuiu but prejudice the just claims of Georgia, anu indispose the general gov eminent to a luenu- ly consideration other rights. The Gout nor, therefore, with peculiar propriety, and with the real ability of the diplomatist, a- dnptcd the suaviter in modo, in ms proae.h : he pressed the just claims oi Gem- gia in courteous, nuld, yet dignified twins, mil hud not omitted t lie fort iter in re, when he deemed it best applicable; as must be seen, the memorial was intended to reach Congress in tune to meet the President's re- ioimnendation. It will not be contended by any Imt the hireling tools of faction or the. slavish sycophants ot Mr. Cobb, that this ahair should have been obtunlcd upon the attention of Congress, ala time when that body were engaged upon mailers of great national excitement and importance, and when they were indisposed to receive it.— Every circumstance of tills affair lias been neatly arranged, well timed, and ably calcu lated to produce effect, it was known the appropriation bill would nut come on until tow ards the close of the session, and the me morial w as accordingly scut on in all ntcos- sSry (and tiie only proper) time to meet it. The extraordinary excitement of Mr. Cobb’s friends upon the occasion, is an unerring in dex of their conviction of the indelicacy and impropriety with which ho precipitated this nttair in Congress, uud their extreme sensi tiveness an infallible evidence of the nega tive popularity lie possesses—yet there is no extravagance of encomium, no imp-ease of adulation, which the servility of faction, and baseness of sycophancy have not lavishly &. indiscreetly heaped upon him, whilst their malignity has omitted no pretext, impudent ly and shamelessly to revile and insult the Chief Magistrate ofthe state, and Mr. Cobh is considered as the forlorn hope of the. par ly ; he is the daring active executor ol the ambitious schemes and intrigues of a dying faction. Hence, “ they have extolled with out a reason, and wounded without a cause.” They have taken lame from where it whs just duo, and placed it where it was not de served. If Mr. Cobb’s pretensions to public confidence and di-ilinctinii are based upon no better principles than bis conduct On inis oc casion, (as I may be able to shew w hen lei sure permits—if men’s characters arc to be estimated by the nativn consequences of their acts) he will shortly sink into that ob scurity and contempt from which tlie vio- leiu-e of party spirit atone ever raised him Governor Clark was raised amidst the slrug glcs of a revolution—his mind assumed a mi- litary cast, and if his country had done jus tice, to his pretensions, would have exalted the military diameter of ihe state, and re newed (lie renown of her revolutionary he roes. To the stern virtues ofthe patriot, lie unites the independence of a man of honor and if a capacity toaet and to judge, be cou- idered as necessary qualifications for high and important offices, there is no man who has superior claims or higher pretensions t the confidence of his country : hut if a talem for very pretty and very sllewey writing, if it facility to cover the deep laid schemes of ambition and intrigue, and to give to the dar ing projects of corruption, the semblance of P'-btie interest he considered as the necessary qualifications of a statesman, then I candidly onfess Governor Clark’s utter disqualifica tion. His country’s interest is his only ami; truth liis guide, and sacred inviolable justice, his means. A Son of Georgia. ullt of Gen. MitehelT. If the minds of the natives were not ns perpetually sealed a- gaiust the adhiission ot ttuih, as their moral perceptions a£ to the impressions of justice, I would undertake to prove from the. inter nal evidence of the. case itself, independent if other irrefragihle evidence not communi cated of tiie guilt of Gen. Mitchell, which lor the complete satisfaction of all impartial ininos, I will now present to the public. l*re- vious to which, as from a false impression of the talents of General Mitchell, the public might be. disposed to pay more respect to his moral speculations than to his adhesion to the practice. It may not he amiss cursorily to consider the justice of his criticism* upon the Governor’s opinion of Moore’s duty, pla ced in the relation of confidential agent, de puty, or nssisfmt clerk to Mitchell. It will be admitted, tlint in all acts consistent, or not manifestly contrary to the true interest and policy ofthe country, lie was bound to the inusl perfect fidelity and obedience ; but that in all acts not only militating against tbe. nterest ol'tlie country, hut in flagrant viola tion of its moitd policy and penal statutes, that his paramount and houudiTi duly was to detect and expose the violation, that his obligation to the government was antecedent and paramount to his obligation to the n- gont, whose hounden duty also w as fideli ty to the government, and when that was vi olated, the subordinate agent w as acquitted md discharged of all obligation from the re lationship. Now this is not only agreeable to the convictions of every uncurrupt man’s moral sense, but strictly agreeable to tile soundest principles ofthe best moral or cri tical writers, it is a fact worthy of remark, that the only evidence that has ever appear ed in defence of Gen. Mitchell, is Ilis own af fidavit, In, Hirelings, Stinson, and tire con vict Thompsons, the latter he had not the Accordingly, when charged by Gen. flalnra with counteracting his measures, [left the public mind might correct this charge With the exisUince of the African traffic, & there by arrive at a just conviction of the truth or both) Gen. Mitchell posts off to Washing ton City, and endeavors by his offjdnvjt to affix the commencement of the Seminole war to tiie attack upon Fend Tenon. Now the world is compelled to believe this affida vit a wanton perjury. The mind is Icet til profound reverie at contemplating the com plicated depravity and extensive corruption of this arch impostor t he is guilty of all tho murders committed upon the frontier; he is accountable for the lives lost, and treasure expended, in the prosecution of the Semi* nole war.

In ano ther sentence, (falsely presuming upon the ignorance of the people of Georgia,) he ob serves—“the public will now see the course this affair lias taken as to the introduction ol Ali\cans,” an effort to impress the public mind with « ,- idea of its being rather a ge neral enqoi.y than a particular investigation of his conduct. Having pn niised tins much, I now come to the internal evidence ofthe case. 1 will take the letter acknowledged by Bowen, dated Drummond's Bluff, 25th December, 1817, which shews a regular con ceded &i executed plan, it speaks of Ihe “ ba- I nice of the stork, say 42, “ narrowly watch ed, risk of getting through greater than tin first, followed by a party of men to keep the negroes employed ; he would make another purchase ; other business too much neglect ed.” Now this part only discovers a regu lar preconcerted plan of .traffic, a participa tion and joint interest, (or rather that Bow en was a mere agent); but every circum stance is proven by the accomplishment of the facts stated in the letter. The arrival of the first and second parcels of negroes ; tlieir reception and employment »t the very place designated in the letter to the agency ; the manner and circumstances nf their conceal ment and secretion, when about to lie taken by Me.Intush. Could any man in his sen ses, capable nf a single thought, write ton high public olliccr, whose bnunden duty it was to maintain inviolate the laws, inform mg him of an extensive and daring violation of them, detailingall the circumstances, difti cullies and ttsuallics of the traffic without his participation and conviction. Such a enmi,inatinn of circumstances, & coincidence of facts produce irresistible conviction on the mind ; and considering the character of the act to he one of concealment and evasion, ihe world can hardly require higher evi dence. Tho bonding iof tbe negroes is not only totally unauthorized by any law ofthe United Stales, hut contrary to the express letter and manifest policy of the law. D'.d AR. Crawford advise him to bund the ne groes ? The letter stated to be written to that gentleman I take to be another strong evi deuce ofthe guilt of Gen. Mitchell—as from a sense of public duty, that letter would cer tainly have been communicated to Congress upon a call fur information (from his depart ment) ofthe illicit introduction of Africans ; his not having done so, affords conclusive e- vidence that nosucli letter ever existed If any thing can deepen the shades or blacken the atrocity of this transaction,there is another nsjject of which it. is susceptible, and in which it has not yet been presented to tbe public.
