1' ns,—The rage for emigrating toTexas is
beginning to subside Oor la-4 accounts from
that country, represent those who have late
ly settled there as being under considerable
al um, in consequence of a late measure n-
t!opted by Mexican Congress, which prohi
bit- tlie holding of slaves in the .Mexican em
pire. This measure of itself will operate as
4 material check to the emigration from the
V- States, and partieul u iy f,oin the South
urn and Western Slates.
.Many of those w ho had removed to Tex
as, being disappointed in Ilu ir expectation-
there, are returning to, and settling in, the
hover counties of this Territory ; and some
have passed through this place, on tin ir re
turn to their former places nf residence,
heartily sick nf Texas. The acquisition to
'he population of Hempstead and Miller
counties, has, we understand, been very
considerable of I lie, and is principally do
ri'cd from those who were emigrating to
Texas; some, returning from that country,
and others, getting thus far on their journey,
and hearing of the now difficulties that pre
sent themselves in the Mexican dominions
have vary prudently determined Ion-main
within the limits of the U. States, in prefer
• nee to risking their fortunes in a country
'hat is in a stale of revolution.
We have every reason to believe, that
tin- re-piirehase of the vast country lately
ceded to tlm Choctaw Indians, would se
cure to this territory a large proportion of
the emigrants who are flocking lu the pro-
vince of Texas.
The Revolution of lir.ag.il is represented
t" lie on the advance. Ag-'i.ts aic'lioininaV-
*'d and were soon to depart for England and
tl)-' U. States “ deputed by the Dunce fur
RM-icuUr purposes.”
lievc, from the rapid settlement
have been made in our newly nequirml
territory, that the quantity of produce
which must naturally come to this mar
ket, will in a lew years, be quadrupled, &.
consequently increase the intercourse
of the place with different nations. The
communication of Darien with tlm in
terior has been greatly facilitated by the
appropriations ofcerlain sums of money
which had previously been made by the
legislature, for the important purpose
of removing the obstructions in the river.
In contemplating th- growing' importance
of our city, being supported by a rich
and fertile buck country, we nre prone
to exult in her many advantages. Here
the emigrant would find every encour
agement to settle, and the adventurer a
ready market to vend his goods

THE WEST INDIA BILL,
Hus not reached this city, though it is
in New-York, us we learn from the fol
lowing paragraph in the New-York Ga
zelle :
We have seen the. bill to regulate the
Trade between the United Stales and the
British West India Cnlniiies. According to
this bill, it appears, that from the passage
of it on the 211li of June last it goes into o
perution, and vessels may, dear this day
tor the British Colonies, and eontinuia so to
do until prohibited by a Brilisli Order in
Council, in case of our Government refusing
that reciprocity so desirable to the tom
inevce of both nations. The British Islands,
Ike. arts now open to us, and nothing on
their part prevents the immediate com
mencement of a coinmerrial iiitercouse.
We expect every moment the Presi
dent’s Proclamation, announcing the re
tnov.il of our own restrictions on British
vessels. Until that document appears,
our Collectors cannot clear out Ameri
can vessels for the British W. Indies. —
By the act of parliament, we underestaod
that corn ; and corn meal are to he al-
uiitted free of duty—flour liable to a du

The Editor of the Liverpool Kaleidos
cope, misled by the mine of Hamburgh
in the state of South Curoiin.., and hav
ing seen the notice taken in the Charles
ton prints of Mr. Schultz’s steam bout
Commerce, thus remarks :
“ r he expected, yet almost incncula-
hie advantages of applying the power of
steem to vessels navigating the Atlantic,
are about to be Lilly realized. The
Commerce steam ship lately started
from Charleston, S. C. with merchandise
awl passengers to il ttnburgh ; thus uni
ting in one continued \ oyage, the breadth
of the Atlantic ocean and the German
sen. The Charleston papers slate, that
two or three other steam vessels will
immediately be built fir purchased for
the same trade. Indeed, to such per
fection ha this species of navigation
now arrived, on both sides the Atlantic,
at wo should not be surprised to ob
serve, soon, the passage from Luropo to
America advertised to he performed with
the probable punctuality and despatch of
i mail coach.”
The editor then goes on in a strain of
rapturous exultation and anticipation ot*
the benefits to he derived from steam na
vigation ; all which may be in the main,
true, hut from the error in the premise®,
is rendered extremely tiJiculous. Me
little think® that Hamburgh is lint a
tow n nf yesterday, and that whatever il
nav become, it will be some time before
•t rivals its namesake on the other siJ*
of the “ Atlantic ocean and German
sen.” Yet the enterprise displayed is
not the less honorable.—(Jcorgiun.
TUEARUIti: FOUND.
Charleston, August 12.
A young man in (In*, vicinity of Hancocks-
villi*, Union district, in this State, a few
lays since, while at work on his plantation,
dug up a pot containing several thousand
dollars in silver and gold ! This treasure
-oust have been buried there many years
ago. No person in the neighbourhood has
any knowledge of it. It probably was de
posited during the Revolutionary War, and
ts owner might have fallen a martyr in that
struggle before he disclosed the deposit,
her,' i- no law u ||| authorize him to get pos-
;es ion ol tli«* y ollicC in any other way.
It mas n . Fa’..’, that although Mr. Whitaker
hail n,o{ the right to use force, the Governor
had , |f he has, if arises either from the power
°» appointment which lit* possesses, or, because
\c is the Chid Magistrate, or Commander in
Chief of the Militia of the State, or because
there is so mo positive law wilich confers this
right It cannot arise from the power of ap
point meat, because lie has not the power of
original appointment, but only to till vacancies
—besides, this p> wer is vested in the Legisla
ture, and we presume no person will he found
tool-hardy enough to say, that body has the
right vi et unnis to turn an owieer out of his of-
.‘ier an I in-t ill another, and give him po>scssion
ot the h >o!<>, records &c. Nor is it an implied
power at ache.I to him as Chief Magistrate or
Commander in Chief. By virtue of the first.,lie
is humid • liftu 1 iy to guard ugainst and prevent
all intractions ot the peace and by the other,
te can cull to his aid, the whole force of the
fate t^ assist him in the execution of that du
x', and enforcing obedience to its laws duly
ulmiiii-tercd by their proper organ, the Judici
ary. Again, it it be an implied power attach-
• 1 to his oiliec, it must be hi duty to exercise
it—and it must bo general, and not to be parti
cularly us d in patting n Secretary if State, into
office; and it must be bis duty to go to every
]uarter of the State (when necessary) to put
id officers in posses i m of their offices II on
ly remains then, to iiml this right conferred by
some positive law. As we have not beer, able
to bear of any fuch, we shall presume there i:
me, till it bp shewn.
It may, however, be urged, that Mr. Whita
ker was without remedy, if lie laid not the rig!i
to take, nor tlie Govcrnoi the right to give him
posse/ ion of his office by force. But \v * pre-
ino this is not the fad. It is n legal uxiom,
that the law will apply an adequate and proper
remedy for every injury w hich u man su.-taiu*.
Should there even bo « xeeptions to this obser
vation, thus generally laid down, the case now
under consideration docs not form one of those
exceptions. The Judge of the Superior court
of this state does not reside very fur from tins
lace, £i by application to him, upon a sufficient
at Wing, lie would have issued a Mandamus to
Col. Hammond, directing him to give up the
keys, books, records, kc. of the offiee, or a
Quo IVarvnnlo, requiring him to shew by what
authority he held it. And the judgment <m ri
ot’these writs would have been fully com
petent to re-tore to Mr. Whitaker any lights
which lie. had lo*f. We arc therefore irresista-
biy le.l to the conclusion, that as Mr. Whitaker
iJ a comp'ete and a lequate remedy secured
to him by the laws, lit* hud not the right to set
those, laws nl defiance, and take possession by
force. If, therefore, Mr. Whitaker had not tiie
right; rt fortiori, tho Governor had not the right
t . v, dati the I iw - u itch it wn * his duly to rc s-
peet, to trample underfoot the private rights ot
tiie citizen, which it was his duty to protect,
ami forcibly to commit a breach of the peace
which it was his duty to maintain.
To those unacquainted with the relative
slandin:; of diil’erent persons in this state to
wards Governor Clark, it must be matter of as
tonishment and surprise, that he would com
mit so ginring nn net of injustice, so great an
outrage and violence In private rights and the
laws. ‘I'lii^ astonishment and surprise is in a
great measure removed, when they know that
Colonel Hammond warmly opposed and Mr.
Whitaker warmly .supported Gov. Clark's re
el *rtion. I hat (.’ol. Humnumd, was re-clcctod
to his own Office by the representatives of the
people over another violent and warm partisan
of his Excellency, notwithstanding all hi-
weight was thrown into Gen. Ncwnan s scale:
(Mr. Whitaker himself, who was also a candi
date for tlie same office, getting only a few
vot‘*s) and that Col. I lammond has not since his
re-election bowed down & worshiped
v. hirh the people had set up—but has acted in
dependently of Executive favor, faithfully in
the discharge of the duties of his office.
Should it be necessary, the people shall know
the standing of other officers in the government
to his Excellency; anil they can then tell, it
they are now ignorant, why one officer can do
his business by proxy, by Torn, Dick or Harry,
either in or out ofhis office, when another can
not leave the State-house v itkoul leave, b it on
his return he finds an intruder in ids place.
Throughout the whole of this business, Gov.
Clark has laid aside that dignity and respect
which belonged to his office, and has acted in
violent, lawless, and outrageous manner, to
which only the history of his own life can fur-
i nlih a ju-jper parallel
demanded I'.xuiTCtiderofsuid office and record

records thereof, which had been wrested out of
my possession, in direct v olation of tlie Coil-
xlitu ion and his oath* of office, which demand
was in the same terms refused
Under those circumstances, it becomes rny
ilut\,(liu publicly to protest, and I Ho there
fore hereby, in tin* name and behalf of my I el
low-citizens, as well as my own, publicly te so
(era dy protest ngain I a,I and every of those
acts of violence an 1 uoirpalion, acted, com

the same mouth, and informed-you, that

bring before him your request, to allow addi
tional time to present the claims of the Citi
z us of Georgia ngain.-t the Creek Indians —
He returned h few days since, when the sub
jeet was brought before him for his decision
and direction ; and 1 have it in direction from
him, It) sliite to you, that the claims in question,
made out in conformity to the regulations un
der which Gov. Pruston acted, will be receiv
ed at this Department till the first day of Janua
ry next, u hen the JVasidenl will lake such or
ders in relation to them as justice may require
I have the honor to be, your ohd't servant,

fry* A manifesto has been issued by the
'Spanish court, (which we will give in our
next! and if nut bent c, fay - the Richmond
Enquirer, <J i* probably the reply to the pro
positions of M. Zea. and strikes os most as
an ingenious attempt to rouse the jealousies
of tlu* European legitimate primes against
the revolutionary spirit of America.—“ Ex
amine to the bottom the consequences
which would be occasioned in Europe by a
sanction of the indi finite right of insurrec
tion demanded for America by s.ome per
sons !” Ira other words, bow long would
you, Alexander, fit on the throne, of the
<#arH-—hoW long would you,mrother Fran
cis, sway the sceptre of Austria, if the spirit
i of revolution i.j thus permitted to go on ?
From America it will to Europe ; over
I urn tho “guardian priueip os,’* which pro
led your usurpations ; and “ topple you
downward .”
“ Another feature of the last foreign news
is the massaeri* (soma of th«*ni impaled !) nl
Hie host ages 4>f Srio. Will this melancholy
example be totally Inst on the holy allies ?—
Will it excite no attempts to goal •! tlu* diri i
tirni Greeks? Or will Alexander again blot
hisescotclient) by driving from bis doiniu
nions the. IVieuds and a-soeiales ot Ypsilau-

“To be, or not to be,” is the question ns
to the Eini'»rsemeut law. The Supreme
Court have derided tin* law to lu? unconsti
tutional. 'Pin? legislature, now in session, |
have made an unavailing effort to repual it.—
rile repe ding bill “ passed the Senate on it -
first reading without opposition.” But in
I lie II. of II. it was rejected; “the whole
house present voting in tin*, negative.” Thus,
amidst this con/lict between the legislative
and judicial authorities, it is a de nt law upon
tlu* statute, books ; and it is not in the pow
er of the Legislature to breathe into it again
the breath of lib*. Who shall decide between
them ?—Ilich. Enq.
