Lnmlon hi;fr>ro thft Revolution, had tent (o ♦he heir apparent olthe throne of Or< at Bri tain considerable sums of money, amounting, to several millions (francs.)—The present Duke ol Orleans knew nothin); of these trans- actlous, and was fu st apprised of them we understand, by the rc-payment made tv* him by the King ot Kngland who has inmlo haste to liquidate the debts of the Prince of Wales. A part of these funds has been employed in the payment of the woods and forests, which the Duke has purchased for five millions. A flairs in Spain go on swimmingly.—The King has declared hiiyself the first soldier of the nation, with Qiiirogu and Hicgo among others for his Adjutant Generals; and the Spanish Clergy *•' j„ the Bible excellent texts for tlieir sermons in favor of the Con stitutional System.” Hut this is by no means all. \ Royal Decree has been issued, com mantling a cheap Stereotype Edition of th< Constitution to he printed by the Minister ; and tho sovereignty of the People to he taught to all the rising generation, the. Bish ops and Curates being enjoined at the. same time to expound it publicly from their r»nd- htg desks, and to answer all accusations that may be brought against it. If was always thought that if the Spaniards did any tiling, they would do something very complete and noble. They have done so, and set a high and stately example, to nations misunder stood by their sovereigns. The same eleva tion of spirit, which once made them the most romantic people of Europe in the midst of vassalage and superstition, has now in consequence of the diffusion of knowledge, and the experience of what nations can do for themselves, rendered them the most chi- vulrous and high minded assc.rtors of liberty, at nnoe enthusiastic and calm. The sense which they show to tho utility of the Press fs admirable.; and the account to which they turn it indestructahle. Republic of Hayti.—The legislature of this little Republic, has taken decisive steps to preserve.its moral and physical Strength unimpaired, by tire exclusion of spirits of any soft. The enactment is not exactly in the spirit of that universal freedom commonly associated with the id#a of a republic, and that provision which allows one year to drink gin, has an odd look of legislation ; but if the law can be enforced, it will be the best law in the world. We are surprised that there is not more emigration of the co. hired people in this country to this island, after the warm invitations of Boyer ;— where they might be citizens holding e- qu tl privileges and entitled to respect, tinder a well-organized government, a- niong people of their own color,-and in a mild climate, not unlike their native Af rica.—Union. Moxtrval, June 28. It is somewhat surprising that none of the Quebec newspapers have mentioned the ex tensive and important fortification now in progress in that city. We learn from an au thority ofthe most credible kind, that nearly tour hundred men arc daily employed in rai ning and preparing the suite of a very strong Work which is to crown that already formi dable fortress. At noon and six o’clock P. M. when the. workmen go to their dinners and cease their labor, a whole scries of mines •re exploded. The plan is said to he most beautiful and defensive ; to commamLevery approach; and to be projected by General Mann and Col. Nichols of the engineers, formerly in this country. It is to be carried into execution without delay. This is as it should he ; a constant readiness fur war lic king the best means of preserving peace. ROBERT GOURL AY. The famous Robert Gouri.ay, who a- ktrmcd the government of Upper Canada so much a short time since by his political wri tings and schemes, and who was imprisoned and finally expelled from the province, is jfcw in Scotland, where he, has published a Statement of his case, and his determination to apply to Parliament for redress. In re ference to his imprisonment and trial, his statement contains the following paragraph : “ It was reported that 1 should be tried on ly as to the fart of refusing to leave the pro vince. A state of nervous irritability, of which I was not then sufficiently aware, de prived my mind of the power of reflection On the subject. I was seized with a fit of convulsive laughter—resolved not to defend aucli a suit—and was perhaps rejoiced that I might be oven thus set at libfrty from my horrible situation. On being called up for trial, the action of the fresh air, after six weeks close confinement, produced the ef fect of intoxication. I had no controu! over my conduct, no sense of consequences, and little other feeling but of ridicule and disgust for the Court which countenanced such a trial. At one 'nomont, I had’a desire to pro test against the whole proceeding—hut, for getting that I had a written protest in my pocket, I struggled in vain to call to mind the word protest—and in another moment the whole train of ideas which led to the wish had vanished from my mind. When the verdict was returned, that I was guilty of having refused to leave the Province, I had forgot for what I was tried, and affronted a juryman by asking him if it was for sedi tion ? rue Tutory of Dreaming.,,, A M r . An drew Carmichael has started a very in genious theory of dreaming. He ‘enu merates no less than seven different states ol sleeping and waking : 1. When the ititire brain nnd nervous system are buried in sleep ; then there is a total exemption front dreaming. 2. When some of the mental organs arc awake, and alt the sens*, are asleep, then dreams occur, and seem to be — alities 3. H hen the above condition exists, and the nerves of voluntary motion are also in a state of wakefulness, then ntny occur the rare prenomenon of somnam bulism. 4. V\ hen one ef the senses is awake, with some ofthe mental organs, then we may be conscious, during our dream of its illusory nature. 5. When some of the mental organs are nsleep, and two or more senses are awake, then wc can attend to external impressions, and notice the gradual de parture of our slumbers. 6. When we are totally awake, nnd in full possession of all our faculties and powers. 7. When under these circumstances we are so occupied with mental opera tions as not to attend to the impressions of external objects: then our reverie deludes us like a dream. [Lon.

Thespian Socie.ty, in erecting this commodious edifice, entitle them to great credit. The building is now eompleated ; the first performance of the so ciety in it will take place this evening. The play chosen fur the display of their histrio nic skill is “ The Stranger,” from the pen of the celebrated German dramatist Augus tus Von Kotzebue. Those who visit the Theatre this evening, will no doubt be high ly gratified. MILLEDGEYIt,LI., Tuesday, hoove,' 1. (£7* Wc beg leave, to return our thanks to “ A Subscriber” (who appeared in the last week's Journal) for his professions of good wishes. While wc do this, we cannot but observe that to ns those professions have more of outward show than reulity. Vox ct prateria nihil.—While wc agree with the de finition of an independent press, as given by “ A Subscriber” in his text, our ideas differ very widely from his illustration of that text, or we have certainly said nothing in either ofthe remarks alluded to, to forfeit that cha racter. If it lie essential to maintain that title, to abuse Mr. Cobb and endeavor to de prive him of the good opinion of the public he has so justly earned and well merited, we will candidly confess wc do not deserve it. But if a determination to publish essays on both sides of any question, written with pro per decorum, leaving ourselves t'rei to mark on the subject matter whenever we think proper, give us a fair title to the dis tinction of a free and independent press, we boldly challenge an exception to that course of conduct. In tho beginning ol'the news paper controversy lately and still carried on in relation to Mr. Col.b, wc unhesitatingly declared our approbation of the public con duct of tliat gentleman—yet we gave place to the essay of “An Old Georgian,” accompa nying it with such observations as we thought, applicable. We then thought and still think we gave strong evidence of the impartiality and independence of our paper, and refer “ A Subscriber” to those remarks with this additional one, that tho controvery has only tended to confirm us in the opinion of the independence and ability of Mr. Cobb, and of his zealous and unreraitted attention to the interests of this, his native state, V e think we gave further evidence that with us “ the freedom ofthe Press should remain invi olate," when, “ at the request of a subscrib er” we published Mr. Siinkins’ Speech af ter discontinuing the publication of the de bate. There were other speeches besides Mr. Cobb's on that question, certainly as de serving of publication a» that of Mr, Sim- kins. And while we say “ that few subjects of more importance have occupied the at tention of Congress," yet we again repeat as we still believe, “ that the citizens of this state do not feel any peculiar interest in the sentiments of that gentleman," even upon that subject. Counsellor Charles Phillips, the noisy, but sometimes eloquent, anti-mi nisterial Irish orator, has lately been purchased by the British ministry, by being created Poet Laureat to George the fourth. Thus whilst the govern ment party chops off the heads of the humble radicals for sowing the seed of rebellion, they distribute, in the higher walks of life, liberal rewards, to silence those verv tongues that have mainly contributed to set those poor half-star ved wretches on : And thus the corrupt Walpole’s aphorism is verified—“ that every man has his price.”—ft asking ton City Gaz. The City of Cadiz is older than Rome, I.ondon, Paris or V ienna, older than Madrid and Naples, Stockholm and St. Petersburg, and Constantinople—she is as old as Jerusalem. She is, atter Tyre and Sidon, the oldest mercantile city in the world. When the pyramids in E gypt were built, Cadiz too was built.-* When Troy was destroyed, this Nep tune city was raised out of the ocean. Gades, the now Cadiz, was an old colony of the Phoenicians, who used this favora ble situation to build the town, on account ofthe trade of the west coast of Europe and Africa, which was done about i00 years before Christ* The Missouri Convention.—This bo dy, wo observe, in a late St. Louis paper, have determined the important question of slavery, by prohibiting the interference of the Legislature on this subject, further than to step the importation of slaves for s ite.— The following paragraph we hat e copied from the St. Louis Enquirer. “ The committee appointed to draft a con stitution for the state of Missouri, reported on yesterday. The article, which will be first inquired after is to the following effect ; The Legislature shall have no power to ma numit slaves except oil condition of paying their full value to their owners; it shall have no power to prevent emigrants from bring ing their slaves into this state: it shall have power to prevent slaves from being brought to Missouri to be sold as merchandize: per sons who have been, or may be brought into the United States in violation ol the laws of Congress for the suppression of the foreign slave trade, shall be free on arriving in the state of Missouri; their posterity likewise: the right of jury trial for offences above the grade of petit larceny is secured to slaves ; it is made the duty of the court to assign them counsel when they have it not: if convicted, to be published in the same manner that white persons would be for the like offences '• homicide, and dismemberment of a slave to The Old Georgian in the prosecution of his unfounded attack on Mr. Cobh, having been convicted on evidence, which can nei ther be met by effrontery nor evaded by pre varication of wi ful misrepresentations or to tal ignorance ofthe subject, seems in his old character to have retired from the contest.— But being unwilling to abandon his Excellen cy in tile very aukward situation to which he bad reduced hint, has very dexterously thrown off his old cloak and stripped on a new doublet, fur the purpose of avoiding in his new character the necessity of replying to the facts urged against him in Ids old.— Perhaps I may be mistaken in thus identify ing the old gentleman with the “ Son of Georgia” who has lately obtruded himself on the public notice ; bill if they he not one and the same individual, the one is really “ —— “ so like the other “ As could not be distinguish'd but by numes ” They are both equally virulent in their per sonal abuse of Mr. U.; equally hold in tueir assertions without the slightest proof offered to support them ; they seem both to believe that Mr. C. was fully apprised that the Pre sident intended to make his communication, and that the Native’s have attempted to “take fame from where it wa justly due. Ik plaee it where it was not deserved.” If Mr. Cobb really did know of this fact about the message, and had so little regai d for iiis cha racter as to jump up and anticipate its con tents just before it readied the In use, these writers m justice to the public ought to state how they obtained tlieir information, for if Mr. C. is capable of such littleness of cha racter, strange as they may think it, 1 would not only abandon his defence on this occa sion, hut I would exercise the. little influence 1 may possess to prev ent his re-election.— But I know they have no moro'grounds for this assertion than for thapraiscs which they have so lavishly bestowed on the Governor. As I have already examined at large his pre tensions to any merit to be derived from the management of this business, it will be un- necess.,rx to repeat it here, the public is eoti- \inced they are totally unfounded, and con- sei; ently that il was impossible for Mr. Cobb to s eal that from the Governor which lie never possessed. It has already been shewn too, that this subject could not with any propriety have been urged in Congress since Mr. Cobb Took his seat, except at the last session, and that the delay which then attended it, was in consequence ofthe Go vernor’s not having forwarded the retnou straoce oftlie Legislature. The supposition then of the “Old Georgian” that “ it must be a subject of regret to Mr. C’s particular friends, that his zeal should have slu inhered so long," and his assertion that “this subject should have occupied Iiis attention at an earlier date,” Ike. tic. being totally unsup ported by tacts; the Son of Georgia tak the opposite extreme, and says, that Mr. C’s conduct in anticipating the President’s re commendation, and the rtupl ton oj'the me morial, must be considered to say the least of it, indelicate, officious indiscreet, there by hazarding the success of that important measure, had not the public, mind and Con gress been previously prepared for it, and that the. memorial was sent on in all neces sary and the only proper time,” Here then Mr. C. is first charged by the “ Old Georgian with neglect of duty in not bringing the sub ject before Congress at an earlier period, and secondly by the “ Son of Georgia” with hazarding the success ofthe measure by in troducing it too early ; and lastly the Gover nor is not only justified but commended by the “ Son of Georgia” for delaying this bu siness as long as lie did, which, in the opini on of tiic “ Old Georgian, was with Mr. Cobb a crying sin. If these two gentlemen cannot agree between themselves, with regard t< the true cause for rensuring Mr. C. how can they expect the public will agree with either of them ? Now, lor my part, 1 think Mr. C happened to hit exactly the right time, for if he had not waited for the memorial until there was no hope of its arrival, he would have been too soon with his motion, and if he had suffered the appropriation bib to pass without inserting it, he would have been too late : he therefore waited until the hill had been read tile second time, ami its provisions discussed, and that being the Iasi opportunity, lie offered his amendment—the bill was read the, third time the next day, the tilth of March, passed, and sent to the Se nate. Tlie Investigator says, the memorial left Milledgeville on the loth, consequently it could not have reached them before the 2)th or s:oth. if therefore Mr. C. could have known the very day on which it would have arrived, and had waited lor the event, in all reasonable probability, he would have been too late with Iiis motion, for although I be lieve it is true, that in consequence of sonic amendments to the bill made by the Senate, it did notjiniilly pass until after the memori al arrived; yet its return from the Senate was an event which could not have been foreseen either by Mr. Cobi> or the Gover nor. But it is further said, that “ Mr. C. had no just ground to believe tiie memorial would not be forwarded in due time.,” independent ofthe fact that it had not arrived when the hill had been twice read and discussed, which most men would think sufficient evidence, tliat it had not been “ forwarded in dot time.” i take the liberty of referring.any person who wishes to obtain correct infor mation on this subject to either of our mem bers of Congress—let him enquire whether there were not several conversations among themselves with regard to the cause of its detention, whether there were not several applications to the President to know if hr lai friend of the Governor's, the gentleman who drafted the remonstrance, to know why it had not been forwarded, mid whether his reply was not in substance, that on looking over the journals ho perceived it wasuut made the duty of the Governor to forward the document, and c.xperted that this was the cause of the delay, for the truth of this latter fact, I appeal to the candor of that gentleman himself. This information deri ved from such authority, connected with the fact of the. non arrival of the document, seems to me to afford some “ just grou.nl to believe that the memorial would not be for warded in due time.” Again, the Son thinks “ none but the hireling tools of faction, or the slavish sycophants of Mr. Cobb w ill con tend that Ibis affair should have been obtru ded upon the attention of Congress at a time when that body were, engaged upon mutters of great national excitement,” fee. I have heard nobody as yet say that it ought, but I have said and I repent it, that the memorial ought to have been sent to the persons de signated in the resolutions, and let them have judged of the proper time to introduce it, and I should like to knotv if there was any greater impropriety in " obtruding this sub ject on tho attention of Congress, than in obtruding the favorite resolutions of Iiis Ex- coilency which he scut to Mr. Adams on the 19th ot January, and to which he called Iiis attention again on the ibid of February : w as there no excitement ill Congress at each of those periods ? If the Governor really held hack the memorial on this account, he ccr taiuly acted very strung) ly in forwarding his rtsolutions : for “ Investigator” says, his Ex cellency “ considered the subject of them as having so intimate a connexion with that of an extinguishment ol Indian title to lauds Tor Georgia, that they were at the same time pressed by him on the attention of the Pre sident." Besides this inconsistency, it it) not a little curious and amusing to trace the his tory ofthe Governor’s defence* on the sub ject of the memorial and remonstrance. The Old Georgian stated positively that previous to Mr. Cobb's motion “ Governor Clark had pressed the claims of Georgia on the notice of the President of the United Status, with the memorial nnd remonstrance." This be ing acknowledged by “ Investigator" not to he the fact, it became necessary to remove the mystery which enveloped the. subject, and assign the reason why it had been with held. This was the task of that very impar tial gentleman, who armed with all the do cuments of the Executive chamber, informs us that “ although there w as no particular request by resolution or otherwise to the Go vernor to forward tho remonstrance, yet it teas forwarded to tile President, Ike the 10th of March, w hich was considered in due time,” fir. This being considered insuffici ent, as it did not reach there ill due time, the “ Son of Georgia" then mines out and says, the. reason it was held hack was, because it was “ inadmissible on correct legal construc tions, unsupported by sound principle, and in the harsh language of complaint charging the government with partiality, and that it could but prejudice the just claims of Georgia,” tic. The first asserts that the Governor had sent on the memorial ; the second that lie had not done it, because he was not requested toduit; and the third says that it was not sent, because it was harsh, inadmissible, and unsupported by legal construction. To s’ucli pitiful evasions and contradictory assertions nave these writers been compelled to resort. But which ofthose gentlemen, if either, can the public believe ? Not the “ Oi l Georgi an” for he is not only contradicted by the facts adduced iu my last .communication, but also by both of his fellow laborers. Sup pose then we credit the “ Investigator” w hat does lie prove? That the Governor was guilty of no crime indeed in withholding the remonstrance, but that he is so grossly igno rant of the duties of iiis office as npt to know it was the business of the Executive to see the laws and resolutions of the Legislature carried into effect. Now us unqualified as lie may be to till the office which he holds, tins evinces a degree of stupidity of which none but his friends would ever have charg ed him, and nlthnugli I do not exnefjy cre dit it, vet his friends ought to know him better than Ido. If the “ Son of Georgia.'' lias assigned the true reason why the me morial was not forwarded, will il reliftie his Excellency from censure ? It it was unsup ported by sound principle, too harsh iu its language, Sac. why did lie approve of it ?— why did he not put his veto on it ? He seems from tile journals to have held it under ad visement from the lrtth to the i2d of De cember, u period sufficient in all conscience to have discovered ils defects. But admit this discovery was nut made until after the adjournment of the Legislature, is it indeed true the Governor has I he power to deter mine w hether an act which has received the most solemn sanction of the Legislature shall or shall not lie curried into effect, ore veil to fix the period when this shall be done? Of what service to the state has this rcinou- strance been ? None, for the Governor With held it until it was too late to lie of any ser vice, for it has never been laid before Con gress. From whence docs he derive the power thus wantonly to sport with the mosl solemn acts of the Legislature ? Are the members of that body prepared to listeD with complaisance to so gross a libel on their understandings, and submit w ith pati ence to so bold a violation oftheir rights ?— Will the people tamely look on and see the measures adopted by the Legislature in fur therance of tlieir just claims, thus thwarted by the Governor to subserve his own parly purposes, because In: happens to differ from them in opinion on the policy of the mea sure, or because their laugxurge may not happen exactlv to suit his taste ? If the Go vernor or his friends are satisfied with «ueh a justification of his conduct, I am perfectly content they shall enjoy all the consultation to be derived from so mat terly an exposi tion. I believe every hone,t mao, whether the political friend or foe of Mr. Cobb is per fectly satisfied that hi' has been suilty of no impropriety on this occut ion, and that the clamor raised against hint is a hold attempt to write him down, in furtherance of the views of a particular party ; but should then be any who doubt the liropriely of bis con duct, I refer them to ific other members of Congress, all of w hom voted with him, and two of w hom, Messrs. Abbot and Cuthhert spoke in support of his motion; they are fully acquainted with the history of this transaction, and can, and I have no doubt will relieve him from censure. The Old Georgian and the “ Don” have stated that this measure met with no opposition, as usu al they either wilfully misrepresent or make the assertion, witlnvit knowing any tiling of the facts. In the National Intelligencer of the 19th March, the proceedings* of the House of Representatives of the preceding day are given, in which aflcr mentioning the renewal of Mr. CTs motion, the reporter re marks “the motion was supported by Mr. C. at considerable length, and also by Mr. Cuthhert and Mr. Abbott, nil of Georgia ; Messrs. Rhea, Livi rmnrc, and Campbell al so engaged in thu debate.” I have adverted to this circumstance not on account of its importance in relation to the subject tinder discussion ; but to prove that it may be tru ly said from the presence of these writers. ‘Jugiunt pudar,vi rumour, Jtdegqut." 1 have already informed the Old Georgian, nnd I now inform t lie* Son of Georgia I never will engage iu a newspaper contest of mere per sonal abuse; nay, I will not even retort tlieir own language on them, however appropri ately they may he railed the. “ hireling tools of faction, and the slavish sycophants of” Governor Clark, w ho furnishes them with the only evidence on which they rely in his defence. With regard to Gen’I. Mitchell und the Africans, I will observe once (or all, I know nothing of the transaction except w hat 1 have Been in the public prints, lie has un dertaken his own defence, and if he cannot make his innocence appear, let him be pu nished.

A gentleman w lio left Kingston, (Jum.) on the tilth nit. has favored its with a file of the Kingston Chronicle to the Oth: and with the subsequent verbal intelligence. It will be observed by tile extracts which we have made from the papers, that the Pa triot forces under Col. Monlillo and Admiral Brmn, whohml some time since taken pos session of Riu di la Ilaehe, and advanced in- ln the interior, being sorely pressed by the Royalists nnd Indians, (about 1900 strong) md in want of provisions, were obliged to a- dopt a retrograde order, and again retire to the sea coast. When within three miles of Rio de la Ilaehe, the Patriot forces, amount ing to 709, faced about, attacked, and com pletely repulsed the Royalists. After the act ion, 300 men of Gen. Devercnux’s legion, demanded their arrears of pay,*(not having received a dollar since they arrived) which w as refused—inconsequence of which, they declined to act any further against the ene my. Brioo immediately ordered them into the town, took away tlieir hhiis, and forced them to embark oti board of several neutral vcVsi-ls hi the harbor, mostly from Kingston. The following day, Rio de la Hanltc was given up to plunder, the fortifications blow n up, and the remainder of Urion’s forces em barked on board ofliis fleet, which sailed im mediately (after plundering two or three A„- 1Uerican vessels in port, ot their cargoes of provisions, Jac.) for Margaritta or St. Domin go. The Royalists then marched iu and took possession of the plaee. Dcvereaux’s men put to sea at the same time with Brioo, nearly destitute of water nnd provisions— and one ofthe vessels, having on bnHrd about 150 ofthe number, mostly officers, arrived at Kingston on the Oth u!t. in the greatest dis tress imaginable; without clothes, and with out money. The commanding officer at Port Royal, in roiMcquenre of their distress, had allow ed I lien* to land, and assigned some vacant barrack* for lliiir temporary resi dence. Tims has terminated the operations of that ove whelming expedition, which aflcr taking Rio de In Murhe, was said to have been joined by thousands ol'the inhabitants, who were in full march for Santa Martha and Maracaibo ; after taking which, they were to unite with Bolivar, in tin: reduction of that important, nnd hitherto deemed im pregnable fortress of Cuilhageua. It is a proof of the rapid increase of population ami health of the transuioun- tnne slate, that a typr-fnindcvy has been established at Cincinatti. There was pre viously one in operation in Pittsburg. It is believed the first successful attempt to establish n ty pe-foupdry in America, was made less than thirty years ago ;and now tiiis manufacture is branching out among our mountains, aud will soon pretul over the Prairies.
