I Tn consequence oft'ie. law for the relief of
the purchasers of “ public lands,"(he proceeds

If these twenty years lie divided into four
series, of five years each, it will appear that
the actual receipts have either exceeded or
fallen short of the estimated receipts in the
following proportions :
In the first series, viz : 1(102 to 1000, in
clusive, 84 parts ill 500, or 17 percent. ; and,
in the customs, 70 parts in 500, or 16 per
cent.
In this 2d series, viz : 1607 to 1811, inclu
sive, 71 parts in 500, or 14 per cent. ; and, in
the customs, 75 parts itj 500, or 15 per cent.
In the 8d series, viz : 1812 to 1610, inclu
sive, 106 parts in 500, or 21 per cent. ; and,
in the customs, 119 parts in 500, or 21 per

in the customs, 55 parts in 50, or 11 per

The difference between the estimates and
receipts is less during the last five years than
during any series of five years embraced in

RECORDER.
MlfiLEDGEVII MC, TUESDAY, JULY 2.
WASHisaTOJi, June 15.
The Commissioners for the ad justment of
claims under the Florida Treaty, met on the
lllli i nst. the day to which the had adjourned
on the 1 IttfMarch last. Mr. IV/titu and Air.
Tazewell only being present, they adjourn
ed, without entering into business, until
Wednesday, when the arrival of the third
Commissioner, Mr. King, completed the
Ih.'ni'd. Having fixed tins hour of meeting
It ten o'clock, tile Hoard (hen adjourned.
O.l Thursday morning, they proceeded to
dispose of the new memorial?, which had
kern filed in ptlnuam,: la9 ‘ ord " a ’
(lie number of which, we timjersia. -10 ’ c ‘. in j
oidor.ibly exceeds fvc hundred, thus iriHlctn,,
the whole number of memorials filed more
than sixteen hundred. The examination of
the. new memorials will probably occupy
(lie Board for three weeks or a month—
whether they will enter upon any other di
vision of their labors at the expiration <.f
that time, or allow further time to the claim
ant?, bv adjournment to some future day, is
oat yet known. We apprehend, however,
that, us thu mere reception or rejection of
memorials forms but the smallest part ol
their I ahnrinus duties, they will find them
selves compelled very soon to shut the door
kigainst all procrastinators, and proceed to the.
examination of the volumnious documents
in support of the several claims.
Legislature of Tfess-llampshirc.—The
General Court of Ncw-Hutnp«hirc con
vened at Concord on the 5th inst. when
Jonathan Harvey, Esq. was elected pre
sident of the senate and Mr. Woodman
Dover, speaker of the house. His e.x-
cejlencv Samuel Bell, is re-electeu go*
vp.rnor of the state.
By the last arrivals from Europe, we
find that hostilities have not yet commenced
between Itussia and Turkey. In fact, all ac
counts seem to induce the belief that those
powers are daily becoming more pacific to
wards each other ; and that there is now no
probability of an immediate rupture.
VVc also learn from the same source, that
the recommendation of the President to re
cognize the Independence »f the South Ame
rican?, has agitated almost all the courts of
iurope. It has opened their eyes and will
liable them to sec, that the people of this
new world will he free, notwithstanding the
ittcmpls made hy the. Holy Alliance of the
“ Lords annointed" to paralize their efforts.
England has not made a formal, but she has
certainly made a virtual recognition of their
rtdependence. Lord Londonderry has de
clared, that “ they (the South American Go
vernments) had been treated as Governments
dr facto, and both parties at war in that quar
ter, were looked upon as belligerents." Her
commercial interest will no doubt soon rnrn-
pel her to imitate the entire example of our
government; and the other courts will reluc
tantly follow in her wake.
(1 rtVe have copied from the Charleston Cou
rier, no article headed “ Melancholy effects of
popular excitement," for the purpose of correct
ing some errors into which (he writer of that
piece ha-, perhaps, unintentionally fatten. Mr.
Milledge was not at that time Governor of (his
State—General Irwin w«< Governor from No-
ember 190G, till Novi mber 1809,and succeed
ed by General Mitchell, who remained in office
for four years. General Irwin lived in Wash
ington county, about SO miles, and Gen. Mitch
ell, near Milledgcville, about the same distance
from Augusta. The Governor of Georgia did
not therefore reside near jlugusta—and in all
probability, the “ gentleman then resident nenr
Augusta," did not call on Imn. It seems, that
General Drayton w'113 n'ot then Governor of S
Carolina. The writer having bpen mistak
en in these important particulars, he may Ini
been mistaken in some of the minute details in
to which lie has entered to prove the innocence
of Captain Ivey’s Billy, and the infatuated folly
of the “ magistrates and frcc-holders selected
from mot of the first respectability in the neigh
borhood," of Edgefield district, Soutli-Carolina
Wo may, therefore, rutioiiully conclude, it is
all a mistake—and that a greater Hoax has been
palmed on the Courier and the public, than
was imposed on the imaginary Governor of
Georgia.
Admitting, however, all to he true, we cannot
3ec the object or propriety of publishing the
piece at this time. Does the Editor of the Cou
rier wish to stamp di.-gracc on his own state
in the vain hope, that Georgia, from her conti
guity, may inhale the infection ! In our opir.i
on, there never was so useless a story, so hudly
[iut together.
The following “ note of preparation
is copied from the Boston Evening City
Gazette of June 11 :
“ Mr. Russell, we understand,
preparing a reply to the Strictures of
Mr. Apa.ws, upon his Letter, published
by order of the House of Representa
tives, which will be forth-couiing in a
few days.”
The great question of South Amcri
can Independence begins to excite much
attention in the Courts of Europe.—The
President's Message has roused them to
a sense of its importance. The French
Ultras seem opposed to its recognition.
Lord Londonderry seems unwilling to
commit himself. It is evident that he
carefully avoids it—and complains of
Air. Mackintosh forcing him upon it, be
fore the cabinet has had time to hear
from the Congress of the U. S., and to
organize its own policy. But the fol
lowing expressive passage from the Lon
don Courier of the 2d May, is properly
quoted hy the Nat. Gazette as one of the
signs of the limes in favor of a British
recognition.— Rich. Enquirer.
“ It is not easy to conceive a greater poli
tical absurdity than is displayed in the eon-
duct of the revolutionist* of Spain. The
pretended assertions of liberty at home, they
would fain lie the positive prohibitors of il
to the Spanish colonists, or at least would
grant only the name, without the reality.—
But nut content with this, they go a step fur
ther, and though Spain cannot equip a single
vessel, nor despatch a single regiment, to le-
cover its lost dominions, the Cortes still in-
(jj.tge in tile peurile affectation of debating
upon what they will concede and what with
hold. iFe believe it would be as practicable
for them to remove the.hides, ns to regain one
inch of the territory, or one atom of the
power, that hus been ivicsted firm the ran
ther country. The time for negotiation is
irretrievably gone hy, and the Patriot Cor
tes may defer the thing as long ns they
choose, (for it is of no value to those from
whom they withhold it,) but all that is now-
left to them to do is, to go through the mere
form of granting what they arejneapable of
denying.
FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Nf.w-Youk, June 17,
The fast sailing Crisis, rapt Storer, arrived
hereon Saturday in 44 days from Alonte
Video. A passenger has obligingly furnished
us with a file of Buenos Ayres papers to
the last of April.
It was reported at the La Plata, that a
boat belonging to Franklin 7 f, had hern lost
- lady, were said to he in good health at (hr
last accounts.
The political state nT affairs at Buenos
Ayres, are represented as nourishing, and
the members of the government harmoni
ously engaged in completing the arrange
ments for tile security of the Independence
of the country, and the establishment of civil
libelty. The Congress were imgaged in
forming a code ol laws,-ev oral of w hich are
published in a paper called the Official Re
gister, and appear to he auch as would da
credit to I ho most enlightened government,
“Happily, says our informant, tliispeo,ai-
appeur to have become tired and disgusted
with those, scenes of interior broils and civil
commotion which so long pervadi d that de
lightful region ; their present government, I
think, is founded on sure basis, the conspicu
ous, men of which seem actuated by the best
of motives, particularly Mr. Uivadavia, tlm
Seers-1 ary of Government and minister of
Foreign Affairs.” Mr. Forties, the Ame.ri-
ban Agent, was much respected by the go
vernment, and people there, as well as hy his
own countryman.
The Banda Oriental, or Alonte Videnu
Province, remained in quiet possession of
tlie PorUiguesu.
In the communication published yes
terday, which was received from a high
ly respected citizen, it was erroneously
stated, ns we are informed, that the Hon.
John Dhavton was governor of this
state at the time the facts are alledged
to have occurred. We therefore take
an early opportunity to correct the er
ror.— Charleston. Courier.

THE SEASON.
Montgomery fAl.tb.) June 21.
This section of the country is suffer
ing at present under the scourge of a
severe drought. Corn crops are in a
languishing condition ; and gardens fail
to supply with vegetables the tables nl
the owners. Without the timely inter
vention of rain, previous fir the coming
year must be scarce and dear. Through
the smiles of (Luxon, our town and vi
cinity are healthy ; and notwithstanding
reports to the contrary we do not hesi
tate to say, that with the exception of the
measels and whooping cough, (diseases
incident to all countries, climates, and
seasons, our neighbourhood was never
mure healthy than at present.
The Florida fever has entirely subsi
ded ; and we think the following news
from Mexico w ill have a tendency tn mi
tigate the “ Tit au.i” fever, praticulaily
in the veins of Republicans :
The Captain of the Eliza reports, that
news had reached Ncw-Orloans, that
the Spaniards were driving the Ameri
cans out of the Texas country, without
discrimination. This i? highly probable,
when we consider the slate of revolution
and violent internal commotion existing
m the Mexican Empire, by the last ad
vices from that country. And thus, pro
bably may terminate the experiment of
colonizing, under a monarchical so
vereignty with men bom free, and rear
ed in the enjoyment of the republican
rights.—Floridian.
Recent accounts from England, ren
der il probable that the forced paper sys
tem, will, to a certain extent, again be
put in operation there. If this should
take place, the trade between America
and Britain, will be carried on, on terms
more nraily equal than at present ; and
if our rulers would only have the wisdom
to impose proper restrictions on the
hanks, we should enjoy all the advantag
es over the British they have so long en
joyed over us.—[Phil. Union.
