A letter from Cadiz, of the 12th of No
vember, contained in a London paper of
tho 24th of that month, says—“ There is at
this moment in Cadiz, absolutely nothing
doing in the commercial world, and all the
Spanish families who are in good circum
stances and connected with business, are

eight doi.i.ahs. I prepared their fire ships went to work heart
five noi.r.AHi.land hand; for no sooner had Admiral
Mioulis made the signal of attack, than the
fire ships were launched into the very midst
of tho Turkish fleet, and blew up two fri-
I gates and a corvette. But what is more as
tonishing, tho Grcok vessels came into re
gular fire with the Turkish frigates, and
two corvettes and two brigs were hoarded
and taken, and another brig was sunk.—
They also took tho Captain Pacha’s tender.
Admiral Mioulis, accompanied by a brig
gave chase to a seventy-four, belonging to
tne Egyptian Pacha, and containing his
son, being determined to bourd her with
200 men ! The 74 was remarkuble lor her
sailing, and by a great press of canvass es
caped to the island of Mytilene. She was
towing a small galliot when the chase be.
gan, but was obliged to cut her adrift and
let her fall into the hands of Mioulis. Tho
whole barbarian fleet was put to rout.
“It seems almost incredible, and is certain
ly marvellous to a great degree, that 70
merchant vessels should be able to beat in

vertheless true.

The Creek Puloft/.—'T\ie dorrespondent
of the N. York Daily Advertiser, at Smyrna,
under date of the 9th Oct. gives the following
account of the victory of the Greeks, on the
7th October, near Mytilene. The London
papers mentioned this victory, and other
accounts stated that-the Captain Pacha,
had arrived in the Dardanelles with only a
few ships. Subsequent to the writing of
tho account here given, the writer of the
letter states, that a Dutch corvette had just
arrived, the Captain of which saw the Tur
kish and Greek fleets in sight, and observ
ed* Admiral Mioulis give a signal, upon
which hi ? fleet all made sail against their
enemy—so that, another engagement no
doubt took place. This last was probably
the decisive stroke which dispersed the
Turkish and Egyptian fleets, and drove the
Cajjoin Pacha, with the remnant of his
gqva* r on i”t° toe Dardanelles, where it was
laid the Greeks were blockading him.

of 150 vessels, attacked- the Greek fleet,
which contained only 70; and they were
all small merchant brigs, excepting three or
four Polaeca ships. They met between
Cape Cnrabourno and Mytilene. The plan
ofthe Turks was very well devised ; but the
undaunted bravery of the Greek* Entirely
disappointed them.

Dinner to Gen. Lafayette, by the. Members

rangements, the dinner given by the Mem
bers of both Houses of Congress, to Gen.
Lafayette, took place on {Saturday, the
firstof Junury. At four o’clock, tho whole
range of front rooms, at Williamson’s ex
tensive establishment, (now occupied by pri
vate families) was thrown open for tho re
ception of company; and, at six o’clock,
the company, in number exceeding two
hundred, sat down to a sumptuous und elu*
jant dinner, prepared in Mr. Williamson’s
jest style.
Mr. Gaillard, the President pro tempore
ofthe Senate, and Mr. Clay, Speaker of
the House of Representatives, presided at
the feast.
On the right of the President ofthe Sen
ate, sat our venerable-Chief Magistrate, the
President ofthe United States, who graced
by his presence as a guest, the most memo
rable feast that has ever tnkeii place in this
country. On the loll of the chair sat the
Nation’s Guest, supported by several of his
brethren of the Revolution, among whom
were recogized Gen. Samuel Smith, Gen.
Jackson, Mr. Rufus King, and Messrs.
Chandler and D’Wolf, of the Senate, and
Gen. Udree, of the House. The Speaker
was supported on the right, by the Secreta
ry of Stat<* and the Post Master General,
and on the left, by the Secretary of War
and Judge Thompson, of the Supreme
Court of the United States. Among the
invited guests were also recognized Gen.

George Washington Lafayette, and the
Abroad and prosperity at home, no one can
take a more profound interest, than I do.—
It. is to the virtue and intelligence of our
fellow-citizens that we owe this success,
and I see in it the most decisive proof ol the
excellence and stability of our republican
institutions. That I have exerted my best
faculties in a long course of public service
to support these institutions and to promote
the welfare and happiness of our union, is
most certain. To receive t his public ac
knowledgment, from so distinguished an
assembly on an occasion so highly interest
ing and honorable to the nation, afibrds me
a gratification which I shall forever cherish.”.
4. The Statesmen who proclaimed, aiid
the Heroes who achieved, our Independence
—Unspeakable gratitude for unspeakable
benefits.
5. A Nation's Gratitude—Tho tribute of
the heart which millions of freemen are
paying to one ofthe most generous of their
benefactors.
6. The Constitution of the United States—
The happy result of mental energy and
moral excellence.
7. The un ion of the States—Cemented by
the blood of our martyrs, endeared to us
alike, by the trophies of war, and the bless
ings of peace. It rests on the immutable
basis of our common glories and interests.

rational Liberty, unawed by the frowns of

ments of wealth, and unseduced by popular
applause—the same in the Castle or 01-

and the height of his renown,
[When this Toast was drank, Gen. La
fayette rose, and said—“ Gentlemen of both
Houses : l want words to express the res
pectful and grateful sense I have of all the
favors and kindness you are pleased to con*
fer upon me. I hope you will do justice to
the warm feelings of an American heart;

it flourish, like its own oak, in invincible
strength and perpetual verdure.
11. The People, the only legitimate source
of political power—While rulers ure res

their authority, or be unmindful of their
t rust.

of splendour and renown.

Aftor the regular toasts had been dirfhk,.
Mr. Gaillard, the president of the senate,
rose, and gave tho following tc a t:
May every generous and gallant defen-'
■ler ot a nation’s rights inset with the no
blest reward that, can be received by man
—a nation’s admiration, gratitude, and af
fection.
Mr. Clay then rose, and said, he wished
in a part ing glass, to propose a sentiment ,
for which he anticipated a cordial reception
from both their illustrious guests, and from
'•very other gentleman present. It. lias in
deed been, as it was impossible it should
not bo, on this pleasing occasion, alluded to
in the toasts prepared with so much judg
ment and taste by the excellent committci
of arrangement, and which had already re
ceived, as they merited, unqualified appro
bation. But the sentiment deserved repe
tition—he hoped, without arrogance, that
he might Ray a distinct and emphatic ex
pression from him. Whilst, iye are enjoying
in peace, plenty, and safety, the blessings
of those free institutions, which the valour
and tho patriotism of our sires au4 their
gallant companions now present have es
tablished, and freely and gratefully indul
ging in our revolutionary recollections, can
we forgot that our neighbors and friends,
on the same continent, are now struggling
to achieve that freedom and independence
which here happily was so successfully vin
dicated ? In their behalf no foreign nation,
no generous and disinterested Lafayette,
has arisen ; unaided, they have sustained
their glorious cause alone, conscious of its
righteousness, and with no other helps than
___ . the view
which, it is understood, his Majesty’s -Go
vernment takes of that question. We will
assume, what, indeed, is likely to prove the
case, that the representations transmitted
home, as to the internal condition of Colom
bia, are of a decidedly favorable character.
Still so long as the war between Colombia
and Peru continues, so long it would cer
tainly be deemed inexpedient to contract
any other relations than those which now
subsist between ourselves and the Colom
bian Republic. It is not because all the
chance* of final success may probably be
considered as on the side of Bolivar; we must
have the proof that there no longer exists
any chance of a contrary i-sue. It in dear
iliii Colombian Government are making
great, efforts to support the operations of
Bolivar ; but these efforts, in an infant State
can hardly be taken ns evidence of her
strength, till we .find that she con make
them, and remain unexhausted. What if
the tide of war were rolled back upon Co
lombia ?—Certainly we are, ourselves, far
from anticipating such a disaster ; but it
would be folly to deny the possibility of its
occurrence. While, therefore, there are
external causes at work, whose ultimate ef
fects may be such as to change the inter
nal condition of the Republic, it surely
with which labor is paid, varijs in its [} ie utmost rapidity, and st on involved all
e y
value—but this ordinance makes no provis
ion for such variation.

I agree with the advocates of this meas
ure in tl is, that, the expenses of stowing «
vessel with Cotton in this port are much too
high—that the wages for such labor, arc
exhorbitantand have a tendency to pre
vent some vessels from coming here. But
if I am correct in ray apprehension, the bu
siness of stowing is a privileged one, for
which privilege you exact a payment; and
if this be so, it is unreasonable to expect
that_thc privileged class would got higher
wages than ordinary. In such case what is
the first, most obvious remedy? Why, to do
away the privilege—to throw open the bu
siness for competition—If this doea not an
swer the purpose ; and it is an object worth
so much to the community ; give bounties
for the encouragement of stowing in a cer
tain time, &c. This would be a course
you might rightfully pursue? but the present

RESTRICTION ON THE WAGES OF
LABOUR.
To the City Council of Savannah.
It is very much to be regretted, that your

from so much per day to eo much per bale.
About twelve months ago I hud a conversa
tion with the Captain of a -vessel, who has
sailed out of Charleston for Liverpool, for
upwards of ten years, and generally had an
interest in or owned the vessels which he

answer the end proposed, but rather tend to
defeat, it.
If there is any one thing, which, above
all others, a man has a perfect right to sell
as high as he can, it is his personal labour.
This Ordinance makes it unhvifu! to pay a
higher sum than twenty fee cents per bate for
the stowage of Cotton ; and that without any
reference to the dimmsions if the. vessel.
As well might you say to the Doctor, our
climate is an unhealthy one ; many persons
unable to pay the present high charges of
the Physicians, leave the city in the sum
mer season or keep away from it, and there
by injure the intire community; therefore
we ordain, that in future,it shall not he lawful
for you to charge more than 50 cents for
each visit, Sfc. Sfc.
To the Brick Maker, and the Mason—Our
city is retrogading fast, and unless we offer
inducements, by good accommodations and
low rents, to settlers, we will dwindle to a
village ; .therefore be it ordained, that in
place of J3 per M. you shall sell your bricks
for $5. Apd in place of per M. you, the
Masoiv, shall lay them for $2.
To the Wood Merchant—The poor and
the rich must have fuel, it is important to
the general prosperity, that tho means of
life should be cheap, therefore bo it ordain

unlawful to pay you more than
To the Cotton Merchant—The price of pro

ders to come and settle among us, and in

their industry, therefore be it ordained that
it shall not be lawful to pay you again one
cent per lb. profit upon your importations
from Augusta, but that in future you shall
not ask a greater than half a cent.

Finally this ordinance cannot be inforccd

I hope you will see reason to reconsider
and remodel this measure in such a man
nor as to answer your object, without doing

principles of legislation.
