Should the latter part of this in teiligence, which comes in an official shape through the Moniteur of the 7th September, prove correct, as we fear it v.ill, it is a most unfavorable commence ment of the attack upon Cadiz. For the last two months, wc have been told that Valdez, the Governor of Cadiz, w ho is regarded in the whole of the French ar my as a very able man, and who has been completely’master of all the operations of defence, has bent the whole ol his at tention to fortify this point.

One of the principal objects ol the Legis lature in chartering the Bank ot Darien, it is believed, was to encourage and facilitate commercial operations between the wes tern mid gouth-western parts of the state with Darien.

I pmi tt.u hub'iect the Constitution of the Unili d States is not as definite as it might have In cn, and it is from this that I draw the inference, that in this as well as in every other election of sufficient importance to excite h general lee- ling, and when there exists the 1 ast d, da to tho power of appointment, the right unquestionably with the people, and it is little short of usurpation to deprive them of its exercise. 1 again mention, ns deserving your conju ration, tlie long neglected claims again,; the general government, for senices p, r- formed by tlie militia of the state in t!,e years 1792, 3, and 4. Ample evidence lias been furnished from this department that the service was authorised by the gem ra! government, and a bill passed the Senate i.i their favor the last session of-Congress; |,ut owing to some cause it was not ,u a i on in the House of Representatives.

The Commercial Advertiser gives the bulletin of tho 26th, containing tho de tails of the preparations making fur the attack upon the Trocadero, and likewise a despatch from Marshal Monccy, dated August 20, at Tarresdembarro, in Cata lan!,., which gives the particulars of an engagement at Altafulla, with a body ol near tivo thousand Constitutionalists, be ing the principal part of the garrison of Tarragona, whom he defeated with the loss of sixty killed and a considerable number wounded.

Yet a Faria article says “ the Constitutionalists who left Eatremadnra, have advanced to Valmojado, and a strong French column has gone in pursuit of them.” The Regency has given orders to Sampao to march with a corps of Roy- - - , „ ,lists to Andalusia.

During the lour years that I have filled tbe.

Difficulties have already in- the correspondence on this subject herewith ubnritted, have been accordingly given for their delivery at this place. I,.,,,- , You .Tin i.vicw.tn receive two reports j a from the commissioners of Tugaloo river.— The ut.e tlx.ugh hearing date in October 1822, was no! received in time to be com municated to the last Legislature. 1 herewith communicate to the House of Representatives a report, with accompany ing documents, from Arthur A Morgan, Esq. in relation to suits brought on bonds ltd mortgages, against purchasers of trac tions of land lying between the Oconee and Ocmulgee rivers ; and I also communicate two schedules in relation to the same mb ject, as well as others, made out l.y the Treasurer. This subject being of eonsi durable interest, and mu having been acted ipon by the last legislature, belore w hom I Intel it, it is again communicated. The do cuments being voluminous, id not having time to have copies p, ..pared, 1 -end the ori ginals tu the House of Representatives, with a request that they he returned to this D. i ^roally inc partment. The Legislature, at their last session, in the appropriation law provided for the pay ment of only two secretaries for this De partment. That law was not presented to ma until tlm Legislature adjourned, conse quently I had it not in my power to give my views upon the propriety iff making provision for three then in the office, which number at that time was absolutely nee s- sarv. In consequence, the one discharged was reappointed the next day, and continu ed until the i*l!i of May, when he resigned. The business having increased on the 20th October, when a third was again appointed, and their services have been paid tor out of the contingent fund. Tho penitentiary fund has been, in conse quence of an oversight in tbe Comptroller General, overdrawn hy eight hundred and fmty-oight dollar* and nineteen cents.— ‘ .... questioned, but when we. view the prostra tion of private credit, and the desolation oi families vvtiicti have been produced in some of our sister states by the injudicious issue of pa per money, thrown into circulation in every quarter of the country, we can but (iev* it as a most alarming evil, and one winch the Legislature should -eck to (.bv, ate. Happily for the state which we inhab it, such have not been our sufferings here, though tlie time may come when the ts- i lablishment of Branch Banks in the interior of the country, will tie viewed as the great, it curse tiiat could have been inflicted on any people. Indeed the opinion even now al most universally prevails that the pecuniary embarrassments of the citizens is greater m proportion as y on approach the vicinity ot a Bank. If this be true, it certainly bhuws that they are pernicious to tho people, and if the light lias not alreatiy passed from your hands, it would be a wise pr> caution to iemove the evil eVe the anticipated conse quences as.time a more serious character. Independent of these considerations which I deem to be the opinions of a great major, y of the state, otlu is might be urged agamsl lolicy in question.

This has aeen nrg, d with g eat cogency against the United States Bank hy those who an- hostile t-> it, and if applicable to tlut Institution, it is equally as much so to those which exist by tlie state authority. The condition of our Treasury at this time is certainly flattering.

A ehasee tnaree, going from that place to England, with officers and soldiers, had been cap tured by the French squadron. An ar- lic’tc dated “ Camp before St. Sebastian, August 24, says —“ Deserters often come in from St. Sebastian, but cs the reports vary, measures of precaution are taken against them, especially since three of these gentry escaped from the gen darmes, It is said that the road from l’elosa to Vittoria is not secure, and that Guerillas have shown themselves in the neighborhood of these towns,”-— The Toulouse Journal mentions the de parture of Marshal Lanriston, to estab lish his head quarters before Pampelu- nn ; and an article dated lierrio Planto.

Under an act of tlm last Legislature, di recting that the dividends upon the bank stock heretofore set apart for the endow ment of County Academics, as well as all »- ther monies in the Treasury, which have arisen from the sale of confiscated reverted property and escheated estates, should be divided among the several counties tn tlm state, until each county should have receiv ed the sum oT two thousand dollars, inclu ding the amount already received in cash or confiscated property, at one eighth of the a- niount given for tlie same, I have caused an estimate to be made of the sums subject to distribution under this act, and of the a- mounts heretofore received hy several of the counties, arid finding that the whole sum subject to distribution at the time, would not 'give more than about five hundred dollars to : those that had received nothing, and make up that sura to those that had received less Ilian live hundred dollars, I have drawn ac cordingly in their favor, as Cor aa applications have been made for such smnr as they were respectively entitled to undue this rule of dis tribution. The *nm of twelve thousand dollars, de nominated the Poor School Fund, directed i by an act of the last session, to lie distributed j among th* different counties, in proportion The Marshal is rc-jto tlie number of poor children which should 5 ha returned iu conformity 19 thesveond svy- rnl accounts in favor of sheriff's, for veying convicts to the Penitentiary, also re main unpaid. On examination, it was found that the fence round the State House square was so much decayed, as to require to be made en tirely anew. That has been done. The work Was let at public outcry to the lowest bidder fur eight hundred dollars, to which has been added forty dollars for extra work done on the steps. An account of Catnak Sc Ragland, for printing the laws and journals of tlm last session, remains unpaid, it not having been presented, until the printing fund was ex hausted.
