ihotilJ b<i flsed to ascertain th« number who were ready to cmtiark, on the terms ytutotl tu his Urace’8 communication. June :JO. The United States brig Enterprise, 8apt. Kearney, anchored at Port-Royal Yesterday from a cruize. By tlie Perthshire, in 3 days from Santa Martha, we learn that on the 10th in»t. the Independent squadron, under the command of Brion, having on board Gen. Montillo and his troops, made their appearance before Santa Martha, and af- terliringscveral broadsides at the battery', without meeting any residence, stood atvay for Suvanilla, which port they at tacked on the 12th, and took posse-sion without any opposition, there having been only three guns mounted on the battery. At the time of the Perthshire’s sailing, they were still in possession waiting to be joined by a large force ex pected down the Magdalena. The Perthshire has on hoard 21 per sons, consisting of men, women and chil dren, who have fled from Santa Martha. The brig AericL having on board Gen. D’Evereaux and Suite, consisting of two Aids, one Col. one Major, a Surgeon, and a Chaplain, with twenty-six privates and two women, arrived at Port-Royal late on Friday evening, from off Rio de la Uache. The Acrid is originally from Liverpool, and the General, we learn, chartered her in the character of a fo reign merchant, as having been ship wrecked, to convey himself and follow ers to their homes. After hat ing been at sea about ten days, he then assumed the rank of “ independent General D’Evcr- caux,” and the Aerie! was ordered for Marguritta. Oil their arrival at that Is land, they found none of the Indepen dent Chiefs there to receive them, nor had any provision been made for the re ception and support of the General and his ’men : On learning, that Birin had proceeded against Rio dc la Ilache, with those of the Lpgion that had proceeded General D’Erereaux, to South America, hr d elermined to proceed thither. On his arrival olf that place, they observed the Spanish flag flying at the fort and their signals not being answered, they wisely declined going iu. Not being able to hear any thing of Brion, they then de cided on coining to this Island for infor mation. Immediately after coming to anchor at Port-Roval, a guard cf Marines was placed on board of her till hi« Grace the Governor gliould signify his pleasure what should be done with them. On Saturday morning, General D’Evereaux made application to Com. Uuskisson for permission for himself and an Aid de Camp to land, but the General alone was allowed to go on shore. We learn that during the passage, the privates rose 'three limes on the master of the Aerial and took possession of her, and otherwise behaved very ill. - /July 4 In the Common Council yesterday letter from his Grace the Governor’s Secretary was read on the subject ofn communication from Gen. D’Everoiix, of the Columbian service, to his Grace, regretting that the Island should experi ence inconvenience from the late arrival of men from Rio de la Hache, and pro posing to the Governor—that a fund, equal to the bounty now allowed to the to masters of vessels for their passage to Europe, would be placed in security at bis the General’s command, and lie would take them all awav. The latter to the Common Council stated, that tlie Go vernor did not know any such person as General D’Evereux ; hut his Grace deemed it necessary to mention, that such a proceeding would not only he illegal, but would subject the Island to be bur- Ibened with those men a second time. The Secretary’s letter also inclosed a proclaintion from General Morillo, which calls upon all the emigrants from the Spanish Main to return, u nder a promise of pardon, to enjoy the protection and Government of tlie Cortes. acgsi."~!r=r recorder! MILLEDGEVJLLK, Tur.si.AV, Arm The Foreign aVeuw.—The ntelligenco from the Spanish Main, as usual, “ wants confir mation.” The Patriots ure said to have been defeated in tho neighborhood of Rio-de-la- Hachv, with the loss of boo men, their can non, stores, fic. On the other hand, it is an nounced that Bolivar’s army, 10,out) strong I was, on the Ittth June, within three day’s march of Carthagena. We believe tlie num ber of the troops allotted to Bolivar, wher ever he may be, to form at tho least a cent, per cent, exaggeration. The only certain information brought by the late arrivals la, that the Royalist Commander, Morillo, has issued a proclamation offering a general ani- nyjjty. Them is no likelihood of its being hccepted by Bolivar, to whom it is reported to have been carried by three, commission ers. These are said to have sailed with it on the SRh nit. from La Guira for Angostura, If Bolivar was so near Carthagena more, than a fortnight before, t-» overtake him by this route, would be a little tedious.—.’Vat. Caz. Xcic Method of Weighing.—The Superin- tendant of the New-Englantl Museum has recently invented a maotiiue foi weighing, on a principle never before practised, which piav be seen in operation at tiiat estulilidi- mefit. It is called the Prondrotneter, and is so constructed, that it weighs of itself what- ever is put into it, without tlie labor ul ino>- ing either weight or poi-e. Many ingenious mechanics who have seen it, speak of it as a valuable discovery. At the last session of the Legislature of Indianan law was passed, directing that any person (travellers excepted) wealing any dirk, pistol, sword in cane, or any other un lawful weapon, concealed, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, by presentment or indictment shall lie fined iu any sum not exceeding one hun dred dollars, for the use of country semina ries.—Petersburg [nt. )\ r c observe that Dr. A mss G.

IT ■Villei'gcville Chalybeate It'uters.—Within a few- days past, a Mineral Spring lias been dis covered on tho road leading to Fort-IIawkins in the vicinity of this place, possessing nil the qualities of the Madison Spring at Alexanders- ville ; but much more strongly impregnated with carbonate of iron. It also possesses u small portion of sulphate of iron and carbonic arid gas, as we have been informed by n chemist, by whom the water has hern partially analyzed. The water of course is eminently calculated for benefit of valetudinarians laboring under diseases of debility. This w II doubtless prove u valuable discovery to the citizens of this place, mid may ultimately render this as desirenble a summer retreat, as any ill the interior of the state.

To ROBERT W Vi.SH, Ju.v'n, Esq. Having considered the moral effort of sla very upon the state, whose immediate inte rest was involved in tb" question, and shewn from your own conclusive reasoning, li it there is nothing to dread in tiiat regard, there are two other relations in which it should bo viewed, connected with the point of expediency. First, its effect upon the slave- holding slates : and secondly, upon the con dition of tho slaves themselves. Upon the first, the most obvious refieetions that pre sent themselves, are suggested hy your own •remarks, when investigating these self-same topics. A few quotations from your work will best explain the inferences that will af terwards be made : you state that “ the plu rality of the leading men of the southern states, are so we'd aware of its pestilent ge nius, tiiat they would he glad to see it abol ished if this were feasible w ith benefit to the slaves, and w ithout indicting on the country, injury of such magnitude ns no community has ever voluntarily incurred. While a real ly practicable plan of abolition rein ons un discovered or undetermined ; and while the general conduct of the Americans is such on ly as necessarily results from their situation, they are not to be arraigned for this institu tion. If, as 1 hare no doubt is the case, it produces here much less misery and vice, than it produces in other countries which are cursed with it, i! furnishes occasion la- ther for praise than blame.” Shewing thus the unfortunate situation of the southern stales, with refer, nee to the reluctant conti nuation ot\Utis evil, you present a gratify ing and i 4 »ivo view of the subject in the following manner, “ but the northern and middle states,more auspiciously circumstan ced, began the work of extirpating the evil from t! t ir own bosom, even before tlie ter mination of the revolutionary struggle. In 17)10, Pennsylvania decreed a gradual abo lition. Iu this same year ail immediate one was virtually effected in Massachusetts.— The example of Pennsylvania was followed throughout New-England at tho distance of a few years: all that portion of the union, north oftlie state of Delaware, lias since pur sued the same course.” Although die eas tern and middle states, either individually or as members of the union, could not legislate for the southehi status on this “delicate sub ject,” yet vou observe “ thby have not been backward"in discharging »uy duty in the Way of exhortation and aid, which Iheir po litical and other ties w ith the siaVp-holding countries might seem to create. ’ I iom too foregoing extracts, it distinctly appears that the southern states abhor the inst itution, and are aware of its “ pestilent genius,” that they are not in a situation to abolish it, and indeed would not be justified in so doing, that the northern states were more “ auspiciously circumstanced” for that purpose, and have availed themselves of that advantage, and finally have never “ been backward in ex hortation” to their sister states to do the same ; and yet it is now thought expedient to confine the curse to one section of the u- nion entirely, ir it is admitted that it was entailed upon the Colonies, not only against their will but even their frequent and hum ble remonstrance, if it is confessed that it was an evil in its origin,common to the whole sisterhood of states, imposed by agieedy and rapucious parent for the basest ul purposes, and that some states profiting by the mora. and physical causes operating in their favor have been able to shake ofl' the mischief. Where is the justice of keeping the southern states spell bound by it, and forever exclu ded from the exercise of those benevolent sentiments which have for years been gradu ally changing tlie conditioq of this unfortu nate people to the north ? What hope or ex pectation can those states have of following 1 Ik, example of tiled' bister states, when from such an increase of this wretched raee, sla- very can not, iu your own words be abolish ed, either “ with benefit to the slaves, or without inflieting oil the country, injury of such magnitude, as no community has ever voluntarily incurred?” You lioust that clo ven of tliesa stales have abolished slavery, and “are not now implicated in the deme rits oftlie question,” but while you thus sel fishly wrap yourselves up in a fancied secu rity of character, mid safety of person, are you willing the world shall know what an ungenerous advantage yon are about to take of the slave-holding states, whose troubles in this respect you have most unkindly multi plied ? Will yop have candor enough to own that your more sordid inhabitant*, while your eleven states were undergoing their pi ous change of temper in relation to their slaves, either bartered off, or emigrated with, thousands of them to the south ? Will you now say that it is liberal or even honest, af- ter they have accumulated in immense num bers in a few states, after these states have served as a drain to your country, and re-' lieved you of your calamity, that on them it shall ho immediately perpetuated. Oh ! surprising humanity! oh! wonderful mag nanimity ! Even the little state of Delaware is spouting out its overwhelming tenderness, through its sapient and pity-breathing Le gislature! Will you suffer me to ask what kind of humanity is that which hurdles to gether a number of miserable beings into one confined spot, where a sense of self-preser vation must forever operate upon their con dition in terms of the most unremitting and easeless rigor ? But these non slave-holding states have the modesty to tell us. that it was a “ generous zeal” seconded by the “ ac tion of good principles,” that induced them to abolish slavery, and although they would not “ break loose from the confederation because the southern states did not do so likewise, yet they have, not been backward in exhorting such a course And pray if the southern states should ever lie overtaken by such n generous zeal, and should be wil ling to yield to the pure and benevolent and spotless exhortation of her compassionate sisters, how w ill she be able to effect the ob ject ? Remember you have said tiiat “hu man prudence •irliids that we should preci pitately engage in a work of such hazard as a general and simultaneous emancipation.— What place is left to share with us this bur then that was once a common one, which is not of our own creation, and w liich we in ex tending the rights of hospitality, toourhreth ren of t he north, have acquired almost be yond our merits to bear, and certainly be yond our just proportion to suffer? It is just or manly that the whole of this once com mon curse, “afflicted without our fault” should be unalterably fixed upon us—that the unhappy objects producing it should lie pent up in one devoted section of the union, and lie forever foreclosed of any hope, of re demption? I do belie', e that such a course strikes at the true and un'ni method of final ly extirpating tho evil. \ on admit that a- hnlitiou is impossible, and that “ colonizati- .on is attended with appalling difficulties,” that “ from the. commercial jealousy of G. Britain, the prevalence oftlie slave trade, our liability lobe involved in wars with Eu ropean nations, which would interrupt our communication with Africa, we should he obliged to withdraw our aims from that con tinent, yet the plan might be pursued on our own with equal convenience and less risk of filial miscarriage.'’ If this he yet your opi nion, what place on our continent is so well adapted to tlie purpose ns suinu unsettled region to the west ? and w lint, scheme could 30 well promote the object as to keep them gradually tending thither ? as the. ripening disposition of their owners to yield that boon advanced, they would lie nearer their final and temporal state of rest. Although I am not willing to subscribe to the soundness of your opinion w ith reference to, the proper place of colonization, or to give your sayings in that regard the authority of prophecy,yet I will hazard the declaration that if that is to be ouryli^iendence and tlie slave’s relief, ct- tlier in America or Africa, it can suiely be done from the. west as well as from the east side of the Mississippi: and if Africa is to afford the place of refuge, it will he an abso lute obstruction of the progress of the event,' to arrest the emigration of slaves to tile west, for the mighty agent that is effecting and will finally consummate the change, is a sen timental and moral impulse, accompanying tlie evil as it rolls from state to stale, inrreas- iug as tlie miseries cf the institution devclope themselves, w hich tho northern states deli vered over to their neighbors when they surrendered the curse; and which in turn will be communicated to the tide as it moves onward, and shall at last occasion it to disap pear from the shores of the Pacific. These last remarks are applicable to the second thing proposed to lie considered, namely, the effect of restriction upon the slaves themselves, which will now in its turn bo examined. While w c are anxiously a- waitirig the great result of colonization, all persons concede that it is extremely desira ble that the cheerless condition of slavery snould be rendered less chilling ami discon solate, and here a question irresirtably sug gests itself, can this object be better attain ed in a crouded than a dispersed populati on ? On this question 1 w ill appeal once more to some ot your own refieetions. In your contest with the British reviewers, you eagerly seize an acknowledgment of tb that negro slavery in the United States ex ists “ in a form by far the most mitigated," and then you exultingly quote the question they have,as you state, unanswerably asked “ Who can compare the. state of the slave in the sugar islands with that in North Ameri ca ?” But when you come to account for lids surprising difference between the two you state it is owing among other causes to IllO “vast HuiijiVi' ;;, r negroes iu the West- Indies,” and the “ immense disproportion between the whites and the blacks.” Those circumstances you intimate compel the hoi ders of slaves iu the. i lands to be. ever on their guard, to have their apprehensions al ways .alive, am! never to relax in that eon- stent, severe and overawing management, which alone can ensure, the proper subjecti on of the slave, and but a tolerable state of security for the master. Do you wish this order of things in the southern states? Are they to lie made the “ negro island-,” of the United States ? These may be principles en tirely suited to rui ecclesiastical tyranny, am’ feelings every w ay worthy of an established church, which ambitious cut-throats may cherish for the sake of oil’.ce and pow er, but which I trust the great inass of tile citizens throughout the union w ill abhor and pre scribe. Adverting still to the condition of slavery in this country, you remark tiiat it “ has un dergone, since the revolution, a great and striking amelioration, -ml that the negro has gained by that event as much as the white. The causes of this undeniable, tact are va rious and obvious. With the importation of the Africans,ceased mucliof the dread which the slave population inspired, while it was continually receiving large accessions of Granger?. At this time, by f!.r the greater part of the slaves oftlie old states have, been liorn fc brought up by the side of the whites. In proportion as the indigenous character predominated, the propensity on the one hand to shake off the yoke ami the mistrust on the other, trhich occasioned its aggrava tion, regularly diminished. Another circum stance tended to render the slaves iu a much less degree objects of terror,vtm/ to make room for the kindlier dispositions of our na ture to operate ; the whites came soon to ex ceed them considerably in number, from emi gration added to natural increase.” These peculations of your own you have support 'd by the authority of Brougham, whose o- piuinn on the subject, you adduce in the fol lowing words—“the fatal disproportion of the two classes, and the. cruel treatment of the slaves in general, would he inateiially al tered by any revolution that should separate the colonies from the parent state,” because among a variety of reasons given, there would be “ fewer in number,” more highly valued, and on that account better protect- d; they would he more “ widely dispers- d,” and thereby exciting no “ unreasona ble, feats" would he under “ loss restraint.” Again you state. “ nut only does the propor tion which the slaves hear to the free part qt the community, contribute to determine, their rendition, but in general, the greater or small er numbers in which they belong to individu als. The abolition ol entails, and tlie rule, of primogeniture, together with tlie evapo ration of those old prejudices which fettered parental affection in the testamentary distri bution of estates, have, since the. establish ment of our indepcndencu, led to the subdi vision of every kind of property ill the sou thern communities. The negroes being more widely apportioned, exist ill smaller bands, and are of course more under the immediate care and inspection of the masters, in whose, eyes they must at the same time hare, sing ly, more value.” And w hen you have spe culated at some length, you conic to the bil lowing conclusion, that “ the disposition of the master to good usage of the slave has been constantly increasing fiom the inhaiice- nient of his price, occasioned by the demand for bis labor in tho new stales : and this ad ded to the more, abundant production ot food, tlm consequence of opening new and fertile countries have greatly rtdounded to his advantage." Will it be unnatural or im pertinent to nil you it similar causes tin not produce, similar effects, and that d the dis persion of the unfortunate slaves, the great disproportion between them and the whites, their being associated in smaller numbers, and the sub-division of them, hy a more, libe ra! method of disposition, having a tenden cy to throw them into smaller baud —n.orc widely apportion'd, hav e, together with "va rious ami ntlier obvious” circumstances enu merated above “ redounded so much to their advantage” in the south, whether a like treat ment would not ptoduce the saute grate I ul and happy result in the west . 1 That their transportation from state to state does not impair their condition, we have the following testimony from your pen “ tlie. removal of considerable numbers of the slaves from the old slave holding slates, to the south and south west, tends material ly to increase the relative majority oj the whiles in those, states, and is likely to conti nue. so as greatly to lessen the danger to which they may he held to he exposed. Tin slaves emigrate litlier with tlieir original owners, or with persons ol the game or an adjoining state. The greater number go to a more fruitful soil j to a climate equally or more favorable to their constitutions ; alto gether they sutler but little, ij at oil, by the liange uf position.” My leisure will not longer suffer me to pro secute this subject, although it is tar, very far from being exhausted. I tiust however I have extended it sullicicntty to redeem my pledge, that before 1 was done, the “ fuels submitted should occasion your opinions to carry less of solidity than iiidiscreUun, and more of inconsistency than conviction.’ — Whatever of severity ol temper I have iu- lulged, or harshness ol terms may have icon employed, they are not intended for your private character, hut aimed exclusive ly at your hostile disposition towards tlie '.(institution and union ot out common coun- i v. You have directed a blow against the ivil liberty and personal rights ol every ci- izon of America, and m return you have a right to expect their united execration; but before 1 take leave of you, there is one mor quotation to uriakc that perhaps may startle you, for it is identically the same vvnich you on a former occasion borrowed from, a no justly retorted upon, the Edinburgh Review, and was by that journal used against a much worse man, little as you may think ot my candor, than yoursell; and this, as it gives you some negative merit, is nut so much in tended for a compliment as by a public ac knowledgement of the. truth, to convince you ftlic dispassionate character of my mo tives. wiien I speak of a worse man than you, i know you involuntarily turn your eye towards Rufus King, Imt here too you aio mistaken, it U a person occupying a place exactly between you, baser tliau you, hut better than him, it is indeed William (Job bett.—Listen to the extract. “ Now, what, is it that we infer from lids strange altera tion of praise and blame in the pages of Uob- bett? Why that nobody should care much for either : that they are bestowed from pas sion or party prejudice, and not from arty sound principles of judgment ; and that it must be thu most foolisil of all tilings, to take our impressions from a man whose own opinions have not only varied, hut been ab solutely reverii-1 within these two years.— By the uncharitable, such a man will always be regarded as a professional bully, without principle or sincerity—w hose services may tie bought hy any one who will | ay their price to his avaricu or other passions; and the most liberal must consider him as a per son without any steadiness nr depth of judg ment ; accustomed, to be led away by hasty views and occasional impressions; entitled to no weight or authority in questions of de licacy or importance, and likely to he found iu at nis against his old associates, on every material change, in his own condition, or that of his country.” You know the. place whence this article comes, and I leave even you to make the application. ATTlCUS. tlie characters of the Stranger, Mrs. Haller, Old Solomon, count ami countess H’inlerstn, ami Peter, were all admirably sustained— also the characters in the farce. Tho closing scene of the drama, was ex cellently performed—it may have been e- qualcd, but I will venture to say it lias never been surpassed. The effect upon tlie audi ence was indeed great, and had Kotzebue been in life and present, he must have felt i(4 full force. The tearful eyes of a portion of the audience, forcibly reminded me of Dar wins beautiful lines : “ No radical pearl which created fortune wears, No gein that twinkling bungs from beauties ears, Not (lie bright stars, which night’s blue arch adorn. Nor vernal suns that gild the rising morn, Shine, with such lustre as tho tear tiiat breaks For other's woe down virtue's imirlv cheeks.” THESPIS. rilBLIG SENTIMENT. The unanimity of sentiment and feeling displayed in the celebration of the Forty- Font lli anniversary of our Independence, we believe, is unparalleled since the adoption of the Fedearal Constitution ; party distinctions and sectional jealousies, so difficult to over come, were generally laid aside, and patrio tic and fraternal affections reigned iu their stead, the inmates of every American bo som. This is consoling and cheering to the heart of the patriot, who beholds, In the harmony of our federative system, the only guarantee of our political health and happi ness ; ami who views, in the dissolution of its parts, the greatest curse that ever afflict'd a nation. AVV have lie fori, us nearly all the papers which notice tlie manner in which the day was celebrated, from Savannah to Boston. The toasts touch very gently upon controverted math.net subjects—except that of the Tariff, which, in a few instances, is roughly handled by its opponents. The Missouri Question is alluded In “ more in sorrow than iu anger ;” mid the National Bank has escaped wonderfully, except in J’rince Georgu’s County, where it received no quarter. Generally speakeing, it w ould appear that our citizens had, ns if by com mon consent, resolved to shut the temple of Janus, and pour out their libations exclti- s vely to the goddess of Peace.
