I ventured, said Mr. O'Meara, upon another occasion, to express my sur prise to Napoleon that the Empress Mane Louise had not made some exer tion in his behalf. “ I believe,” re plied the Emperor, “ that Marie Louise is j ust as much » stale prisoner as i am myself, except that more attention is paid to decorum in the restraints imposed upon her.

The Washington News, n paper print ed in Georgia, is favorable to the propo sition of consolidating the republican strength of several states in relation to the next Presidency, if the object be to “ elect a republican.” The object us originally staled was two fold—lirst to 7 .! ih • decision ot the question u'y Congress which |rt.o.. <i,a large and small states on a level, and would be the source of great unhappiness ; and se condly, to prevent the federal party havin” ;,n equal influence in the selec tion with dominant party. If men pretend to «ee lit fhis fair rule of policy, .any cause of alarm, i oJ not wish their optics. The Georgia paper s.'tys : “The real object of New York is not yet well understood ; when she will come lor ward and develope all her views, then the st iles will know how to act will) ner, either conjointly or separately. If she is determin ed to support u republican for the presiden cy, the southern states, at least Georgia, will go hand in hand with her.” Ncw-York never has fictitious objects ; never conceals her policy ; never has demanded power and influence to which she was not entitled—“All the views” which the state of New-York has in (he pending question, relates to the support of a democratic republican of ability and integrity, and one who shall be regular ly nominated in the usual way. In relation to the political character of the camhtate, this state is fixed—im moveable—unalterable. She has suffer ed so much from time serving and am bitious politicians ; has been so often deceived and maltreated by pretended friends, that on the ground of party, there will be no deviation. No citizen will receive the votes of this state who is not avowedly u repub lican ; one who will faithfully and zeal ously support the interest and character of the democratic party, und who will r«. L -infer to wtiuui tie owes his elevation, „„.t t.ot cou a,-...nrthe svren voice of amalgamation,” “ era »i geoil feel fnc«,” &c. one who will advocate “ prin ciples and men.” Such a one, possessing the additional and indispensable qualifications ot integ rity and ability, may look with confidence fur the support of this state, and every other democratic state who thinks with N. York, that it is time to rally the par ty, and preserve its discipline, system and ascendeucy.—N. Y. Nut. Adv. CALUMNY AND PERSECUTION.

Fiscal administration of Wm. H- Cranford FROMTIIF. NATIONAL 1NTELLIOENCER. “ The actual expenses of collection id tlie revenue, in the. year 1817, amounted t 720.942 dollars, as appears by a statement accompanying Mr. Baldwin’s report nufactures. What they were for the last year, or the year preceding, we are notable to say, the accounts of those years not havin tion amounted to e .10-100 per centum. So that, inevitably, and invariably, tile expense of collection of the revi one is greater iri proportion as the amount of the revenue is less, being itself in its nature nearly stationa ry. . “ If it be desired tof .uhe a fair view of tile official conduct of Sberetary Crawford, let him be judged by his nets. It is within our knowledge, and it is a matter of record, if we bad time to hunt up the documents, that, whilst the Secretary has always been disposed to allow, a just compensation for public services, he lias repeatedly, and uni formly, and pertinaciously, in reports to Congress, und in letters to, and conferences with, committees, urged measures for secur ing tire accountability of public officers, by additional guards and restrictions If lie have any fault, it is in being too ribid tr. this respect, us any of the officers em ployed in ci,Heeling the revenue will inform wlio are curious enough to enquire. That the suggestions of the Secretary to Congress, and to ils committees, with a view economy ami 'lie prevention of fraud, have only been partially acted upon, has not assuredly been his fault. It was at his suggestion, however, that the act was pas sed for limiting tile duration of office ot the revenue officers, ike the beneficial conse quences of which have been already felt. As one proof out of many of the earnestness of I lie Secretary in pursuit of die public in terest, which we notice because its effects have been memorable, we mention pnrticn Ixrly Ills report of tBill January, 1817, to the House of Representatives, which was the ground-work of the act of 20i|i April, 1818, supplementary to (lie Collection Act, which engrafted a new set of regulations up on our revenue system that lias led to the gain of millions.” The onlv thing yet to be done to com plete that beautiful monument, is the marble platform or basis, whicli is to lie inclosed with an iron railing, ornament ed at each corner with half cannons of bronze. It is to he sixteen feet three inches wide, at the base of each front.— I he hightb of the monument without the statue, is fory-two feet, 8 inches ; and the statue being, with it« depen dences, nine feet six inches, makes the Monument fifty two feet two inches above the platform.

It is a curious fact, and one mortifying enough to human greatness, that Napo leon declared that the happiest days he ever passed were when he was but u private man, “ living in a lodging near Paris.” Being asked by Mr. O’At earn what was the happiest paint ol time af ter his accession to the throne, he in stantly replied, “ (he march from Cannes to Paris.” This, our readers will doubt less recollect, was after the expedition Iroin Elba.

The ex penses of collection, it must lie observed, necessarily vary somewhat in different years, from charges of one year being brought into another, 4lo.—so that any true judgment ot the expenses of collection can only be form ed from taking a series of years. Let us then take several series of four years, and see what the average expense lias been in different periods of the government. We glial! tints come at facts which will speak for themselves, and which really have sonic bearing on tile question. We report to tin Congressional Report above referred to; and we find, without fatiguing the reader with labored contrasts, that in 1817, 1818, 1819,1880, being years of Mr. Crawford’s- : dminislration, and being as late as the re port brings up the accounts, tile expenses ol collection sf the revenue averaged only !! 11-100 percent, on the whole amount being nearly one per cent, less than the a- veruge of any preceding series of lour years. - But, as we have said before, vvhatevei the facts are, they prove little or nothing, depending, as they do so materially, upon the current of trade, and varying with its changing phases. The expenses of the col lection of the revenue al e reg dated by law, &. not by the Secretary of the Treasury. Fur ther, the expenses do not vary proportiona lity to the revenue ; (lie compensation ot tin revenue officers being fixed by limitation of tile amount of commissions, where not ac tually paid in the shape, of salaries. So dint tlie reduction in the revenue cannot reduce the expenses of collection. An il lustration of this will lie found in the fact, that, whilst in the year 1817, above referred to, the expenses of collection were hoi 2 G8-I00 per centum on the whole amount, yet, in tlie year 1809, when the revenut tyts bit* S' 7 .773,4.73, the expenses of eollee- TIIK.

It must by do means bo understood that Napoleon uttered sweeping and in- disciimate censures upon those English men who were opposed to him ; even in acknowledging a repulse at Acre from Sir Sidney Snii'h, he speaks of him in tpnn-- of commendation, and savs, “ he lik°d his character.” Of Lord Cornwal lis ifis sentiment* are quite enthusiastic. Of Sir J.

Surrounded by lofty forest of heec.h and maple, as you approach it, from the public road, the ear is agreeably exercised by the sound of its tumbling waters, until, proceeding on .11 nro—t to the verge of the chasm, a sudden burst affords a full view of its gran.If ec,and ftildimity.

Al the foot otl lie falls the prospect is awfully pleasing. In looking up the bank of 200 feet, huge hedges of rock, apparently hanging by a single stratum, ihreaten horribly the below ; whilst the mist and spray refract the rays of the sun id all their prismatic variety.

At the summit of the falls the scenery is impressively romantic. Wlmn the river it at its height, a sheet of 280 feet in width glides unhurried & smonthly on lor some distance above, until arriving at the precipice, it plunges off, with “ roar tremendous.” This place seems like a sudden breaking off of nature ; all is ol der end symmetry above the falls, but at and below them a certain sublime want of harmony affords a spectacle of vene rable grandeur and pi. turesqe scenery, which just such a combination can only exhibit.

The survey is to include the breadth of ten miles. An accurate investigation of the ro. ks, soils, mineral,? and plants, is to he made on both sides of the canal. The lirultiirist—The survey is to be com menced in November. No more will be done lbi< season, however, than to take a general outline of the geological for mations, in order to prepare a sketch to be filled up hereafter. The survey will he resumed next April, aud confined through the summer. It is not known how much time will be required for its completion. But from a comparison of former surveys, taken by Dr. Beck and Mr. E. we have reason to believe it will be completed, so as to be published in a year from next January. It is to be presumed that the farmers and landhol ders on the route will be prepared to give all the information required, in aid of the node ( taking. Every unknown mineral should be collected ; and every locality, u here-there is any signs of ores, coal, gypsum, &c. should be setched out, and ready for inspection.

Adv. EXTRAORDINARY DIVIDEND. The Louisiana State Bank has divided t r> per cent on the slock paid in. The. Louisiana Advertiser, attempts to account lor this plcnomenoii (for so our Banks would cali it)—The causes of these “enor mous dividends are to he found in the ex traordinary advantages and privileges se cured by its charter—from the greater pro fit derived from the labor employed in the cultivation of our soil—from the amount of the valuable staples grown and exported, so largely exceeding the amount of our im port and consumption of foreign goods— and the. consequent constant influx of the precious metals to purchase these products. There are the causes which give our Banks solidity and profit, and in regard to the Stale Bank especially, (owing to (he power piren to discount paper at the rate of nine per cent, when the paper has longer than 120 days to run) justifies us in raying, that it is the most solid, and promises more certain ly, larger dividends, than any banking insti tution in the United States. “ When our planters go into hank, they always prefer borrowing money at nine per cent, for nine months, to taking a loan, re newable every 60 days at fl per cent, and liable to the calls uniformly made on GO days accommodation paper ; and they of course so manage their affairs as to let generally RTto'rvn m/rvyhTf.hlflhost all rules of property, ate accompanied by a mor gage on the property sold (in addition to the note of the purchaser, and that too, ge nerally well endorsed) as security for the purchase money. A large amount of tills description of paper is discounted by the State Bank at nine per cent, and its punc tual payment is secured, first !>v the name of the purchaser, secondly by the name of the seller and the friends who endorse for him, and thirdly by the property which re mains liable on the mortgage, and which | liability must appear on the face of the | note.” FROM THE PHILADELPHIA AURORA. Extract of a letter written by Mr. Sibley to Dr. Morse. “ I have noticed Indians observing with much apparent interest the effects of our agricultural skill, our fine gardens, abundant crops, and numerous comforts and conveni ences. “ A very sensible Osage, the Big Soldier, Who had twice been al Washington, once said to me, when I was urging tile subject of civilization upon him : “ I see, and admire your manner of living, your good warm hou ses, your extensive fieldsjof corn, your gar dens, your cows,oxen, work horses, wagons, and a thousand machines that I know not the use of. 1 see that you arc able to clothe yourselves even from weeds and grass.

Tins was an action brought to recover from the defendant the value of thirty- eight slaves, the property of the plain tiff. In the years 1814 and 1815 the defen- •1aut f Sir Alex. Cochrane, commanded the fleet sent out to act against the Ame ricans, and Sir G. Cockburn was second command. Tlie gallant defendant, on his arrival off Georgia, issued a Fro clanaation, stating that lie understood that many persons wished to emigrate from the I'oited States, and offering to such persons a reception on hoard Uia Majesty’s ships, and a conveyance as tree settlers to His Majesty’s colonies in North America or the West India is- litids, i( they should not wish to enter into His Majesty's Naval or Military ervice. In the month of February 1815, sir G. Cockburn was lying off Cumber- lutid Island, and, on the 23d of that inontl), a boat having on board 18 meh, 8 women, and 12 children, all negroes, approached ilis Majesty's vessel the Terror bomb, and were taken on board ; they were afterwards sent on board Sir G. Cockburn’s ship, the Albion, where they were treated as refugees. Shorllv diet wards the plaintiff', who is partner iti a house iu East Florida, came oq board Sir. G. Cuckburn’s ship, produced a let ter (torn the Spanish Governor of that province, and demanded the negroes who lie said, were part of a gang of 60 which had made their escape from off his plan tation in East Florida. The negroes refused to return, alleging that the mo ment they got on board a British ship they were free. The Plaintiff then re quested Sir G. Cockburn to send them back, but this he refused to do, saying that he thought them free agents, over whom he had no controul ; but hr went to the negroes, and udvised them to re turn aud they said they would not re turn, unless compelled by force no to do. Sir G. Cockburn then refused io inter fere any lurther it he immediately wrote a letter to the defendant, who was at a great distance from him, stated what occurred, and also that he had trans- waa eoiotg to r *• i u.uon. , - ■ - wrote iu auswei to Sir (r. Cockburn. that he thought he had acted right ; but to avacid giving offence to the Spanish Government, that he had written home to England etating the circumstances to this Government and requesting their further orders ; and also that the slaves, on the 23d March 1810, had been land ed at Bermuda Dock-yard, where he should have themcolscly guarded until lie should have re.ceived instructions from his own Government. It having been proved that the plaintiff' had bought the slaves for £60 a head, and also that they were worth £100 u head, that the proclamation was not pub lished or circulated at aDy point South of the C'hesapeak, and that it was ad dressed solely to the inhabitants of the United States. Tbe Solicitor Genera! proceed to ad dress the jury on behalf of tbe gallant defendant, who he said had only acted in pursuance of the orders ofhis Govern ment, and therefore was not liable. The learned Counsel was proceeding to con- teuil, that the moment the slaves had es caped out of tlie province in w hich they were slaves, the master had no property in them, unless that property was secur ed by treaty ; and that Sir G. Cockburn would have acted as improperly in com pelling tbf.se creatures to return to the service of the plantin', ns he would if he were to compel the plaintiff to go into the service of the negroes. The Chief Justice—“ Mr. Solicitor, I see no facts in dispute between you and Mr. Scarlett ; your dispute is upon the Law of the Case, and as 1, sitting here as Judge et Nisi Prius, will not take up on me to decide this point, 1 think the Getter way w ould he to agree to a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court, as to whether the plaintiff had or had not any property in the ne groes when on Gourd a British ship.
