J. Elliott, to hit Excellency the Governor, dated Washington, Jan. 27, 1825. " The accompanying letter was enclosed to me to-day, by General Lafayette, with a request that I would transmit it to you.— He is now on a visit to Virginia, but will be in this city again within a few days, when he promises me to write you more satisfac torily in relation to his intended visit to Georgia. I fear, the anxiety of the worthy General to gratify all parts of the Union, by a visit, has induced him to undertake more than ho can accomplish within the time he has al lotted for that purpose. He intends to visit every state in the Union, passing from hence through the Southern and South Western States, to New-Orleans; thence up the Mississippi, and round through the North Western Statea, to Pennsylvania, New-York and Massachusetts, so as to arrive at Boston by the 17th June. I do not believe he can ac complish this route within the time prescrib ed. — Washington, 17th Jan- 1825. Sir—I am penetrated with the most live' ly fteling of gratitude Tor the kindness with which the citizens of the State of Georgia, their Legislature and Reprssentativea, and the Chief Magistrates have deigned to wel. come my arrival to tbn United to invite me to a visit so very comformable to my own earnest wishes. I beg your Ex- cellency to be the organ of my respectful and affectionate acknowledgements, and to receive my personal thanks for the kind manner iu which those testimonies ofesteem have been transmitted and by yourself ex pressed.

The following resolution was introduced and reforred to a committee, consisting of Aldermen Miller, Densler, and 'Jackson “ Resolved, That from aud after the first day of January, 1826, the price of a porter's badge shall be five dollars, exclusive of the usual fees of the officers, instead of one dob lar and fifty cents, as by the ordinance in such case made and provided; and that the Clerk of Council be authorised to erase the words one dollar and fifty cents, and in aert the wordB five dollars-” On motion of Alderman Minis, it was re solved, “ That the Representatives from Chatham County, at the next session of the Legislature of this state, be requested to obtain the passage of an act, to author ise this Corporation to pass such an ordi nance as will define the mode of inapecting and measuring lumber, whereby the true character of our lumber can be obtained, and justice done to both vender and pur chaser.” ' ’ 1 ‘ On motion of Alderman Jackson, it was resolved, “ That a Committee be appointed to consider the operation of the nineteenth section of an ordinance entitled an ordinance for regulating the Public Market, in the city of Savannah, and appointing commis sioners to superintend the same, with pow er to report by ordinance, repealing or mod ifying the eame, or otherwise."

The result was, muc h shorter than I would wish it, I shall known in the Hall, as soon as it was ascer tained how New-York had voted. Thp ve ry crowded galleries, however, are separat ed so completely from the body of the House, and auch perfect ailence prevailed, that the first idea that a choice had been made, was communicated by tho report of the Tellers, that Mi. Adams had received 13 votes ! The effect was electric. With out wailing for the Tellers to conclude their report, a few person* in the galleries, by clapping their bands,die. gave tokens of ap probation, and a few scarcely audible hisses were heard, as if in reply to the plaudits.— The presentation ofthe report was arrested by the Speaker, order required in the House, and the galleries ordered to be clear- •d, and were cleared accordingly. Thia was a deep disappointment to the more than thousand persona, who had, many of them, patiently waited, from early mern, to witness this august spectacle. It was necessary, however, that the House should exact the reaped due, not only to its autho rity, but to the political rights and personal 'feelings ofits members.

Be it therefore resolved, that the com mittee of Public Sales are hereby instruc ted to proceed without delay to the enforce ment of payment, or the collection of the same, and that the City Treasurer be directed a make a digest of the above mentioned executions in a book to be prepared for that purpose, in which the Treasurer shall hereafter insert bis execu tions, when issued to the Marshall. A resolution to set up tbe young trees in the squares, and cut away old trees not in an erect posture ; and a resolution, relating to the payment semi-annually ofthe 6um of 2500 dollars by Col. Hunter,introduced by Alderman Millen, were severally passed. City Affain.—A regular meeting of Council was held yesterday. The Committee to whom the bill was re committed, reported an ordinance to ap point Guagera, Weighers, and Inspectors, which was retd the first time. A bill was introduced to be entitled an ordinance to appoint measurers of wood' and Inspectors and Measurers of ranging timber, sawed lumber, staves, shingles, co dar and cypress, for the city of Savannah, which was read the first time A bill was also introduced to be entitled an ordinance to authorize the employment oftwo j persons to act as alarm watchmen in the Exchange steeple, to require the watchmen throughout the city to cry aloud port ofthe Teller, wa. concluded, and th. i'*' ou " of ‘ be ni « ht ’ ' ni t0 “ revolt dia'ared in due form by the Speaker.; “ uch oftn ^titled an ordinance — | for organising a City Watch, passed 13th Aa satra from the office of the BostonPa- January, 1817, aa authorises the employment triot, datqd on Sunday the 8th instant, an- of • drumer and lifer for the stme, which pounces that His Eacellency William was read tha first lime.

JVeia Steam Engine.—The Newport Mer cury states that an experiment haajust been made in crossing Bristol ferry, will a steam engine without a boiler, inventid by Mr. John Babcock, of Portsmouth. 1.1. The experiment was completely succircful, and we, (says the Providence Journal) shall be much gratified of its practical utiity can be completely established. Gentlenen, how ever, in whose knowledge of mechanical principles we have much coifidence, ex press doubts of the success of tlis invention.

Mr. Canning had communicated to all the foreign ministers at the Foreign office, that the Cabinet of his Britannic Majesty had come to the resolution of acknowledg ing the independence of Mexico and Co lombia. Commissioners would be sent to those States, charged with full powers to conclude Treaties of Commerce between them and that country, founded on that re cognition. The recognition of Bueno* Ayres was soon expected; but it is said some other in formation respecting it, is wished betore re cognition. Col. Campbell and Mr. Ward had recei ved their final instructions previous to leav ing England, for Colombia and Mexico, where they are to reside permanently, the former Commission being dissolved. These gentlemen are charged with full powers to negociate and conclude a Treaty of Com merce with the States in question. A levy of four thousand additional troops was to take place immediately, for the pur pose,we understand, of re-inforciug the ar my in India. The Allgemeine Zeitung, which had been received of the 27th ult. mentions the spec ulations given rise to by the arrival of Mr. Stratford Canning at Frankfort, on hia way to Vienna and St. Petersburg. It ib affirm ed that no apprehension is now entertained of the friendship of the Great Powers be ing disturbed. On the question relative to the claims set up by Russia to a line of coast in North Amencs, the United States are made to appear the aggrieved party, and England ia described to act the modiator be tween the American anil Russian Govern ments. All the Greet Powers, it is added, are resolved, by “ powerful intervention," to put an end to the sanguinary contest be tween the Turks and Greeks ; but in what way, or in whose favor, tho “ powerful in tervention” will take place, is not specified. A private letter of the 10th ult. from Cronstadt states, that in consequence of the exhaustion of the Ottoman treasury, such heavy taxes have been imposed on the inhabitants that some provinces of the em pire are left nearly a desert by the emigra tion, and the moa ardent wish ofthe hearts of this oppressed people is, that the Greeks may be successful. A very destructive storm prevailed along the coast of France the end of December. At Lisbon every effort was making by Sir Wm.A’Court to obtain a removal ofthe ministry. The General impression is, that the English influence is of much strength, and the King so thoroughly persuaded of the necessity of their protection, in order to bear up against the intrigues of the Queen and her soli’s party, that Sir William mu9t ultimately carry his point. The Emperor of Russia haa addressed a rescript to the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affaire, charging him to exercise the most rigorous turveillance over all publications that touch on religion or public instructions, in order to provent any from being publish ed that have not received the sanction of the Synod, Further particulari of the Ion of the ship Diamond.—The Liverpool Advertiser of tho 6t.h January .contains the following particu lars of the loss of this vessel, which have been obtained from the consignees of the Cabin Passengers lost.—Mrs. Wood, of Saddleworth; Mr. Broadbcnt, of do. ; Mr. Given, of New-York ; and a young female, the child of Mr. and Mrs. Betterly. of Bal timore, who were saved. The body of Mr. Wood has been found ; in his pockets were upwards of £7,000, which has been Baved. Capt.

The total number of the crew and pas- rengers it is generally agreed was above forty ; we uniferatnod some of the passen- S cro have reported it at ibrty-eight. The liamond sailed from New-York on the 12th Dec. and would therefore have the Presi dent’s Message on board, but no papers of any description have been saved. She was quite upright in the water, and lay about a mile from the land. National Legiilature.—In 8enate, Wed' nesday, 9th inst. nothing of importance was transacted. At 12 o’clock they proceeded to the Hall ofthe House of Representatives for the purpose of opening and counting the electoral votes. In the House of Representatives, Mr. P. P. Barbour, from the select committee on that subject, made the following report:— The select Committee, to which was re ferred the communication of the Speaker of 3d inst. report • That, upon their first meeting, with a view to eaecute the duty imposed upon them by the House, they directed 'heir chlirmn to ad dr N a letter to the Hoa. George Kremer, informing him that they would be resdy ( at a particular time, therein itned, to reccve inv evidence or explanation he might hive to of fet, touching the chirgci referred to ia th communication of the Spsiker of the 3d inst. Their chairman, in conformity with thia in itruction, did addren moh c letter to Hr. Kremer, who replied that he would make s communication to the committee i accordingly he did send to them, through their chairman, c communication, which sceumpiniea thia re port, marked A, in which he declines to ap pear before them, for either ofthe purposes mentioned in tbeir letter, alleging that he could not do so, without appearing either ss •n accuser or a witneia, both of which he pro- teata against. Ia this posture of the case, the committee can take no further atepa. They are aware tbst it is competent to the Hou>e to invest them with power to send for pertonc and papers, and by that means, to enable them to make cny investigation which might be thought necessary ; sud if they knew any rea son for such invealigatiun, they would have •Iked to be clothed with the proper power , but not having, themi'dves, any such know - ledge, they hive felt it to be their duty onh to lay before the Houae the Commumcatio; abich they have received.
