Accident to Latavette.—VVe are sor ry to learn that the General has met with an accident, by which, whilst it endanger ed his life, and those accompanying him. he hae lost his carriuge, baggage and papers.

That “time chango manners,” is an adage, the truth of which appears every day of our lives. Who would believe that the following language of the Courier applied to the Holly Alliance, is tbut of tho same Courier, which at the time of the French invasion of Spnin, and on every previous occasion was the supple and ohscquiuiis apologist of that association, for the sup pression offree principles ? “ The idea of these Royal and Imperial conservatorsof European tranquillity, elect ing themselves into such an ofiico (suppos ing so absurd an intention to exist) with a perfect disregard of what England may ap prove or disapprove, would bo like school boys giving themselves a holiday without the consent of their master. ■ They might have their day ; hut tho rmiBter would be sure to have hie also.” The revolution ofthe last year or two, in terested in the welfare of the “ Nation’s P ublic Grerft Dri ‘» in ’ is ^ great—the good consequences of which,havo been already felt in her present unexampled Guest,” I hasten to inform you of a serious miafortune which befel him on his passage . „ „ , . prosperity.

If this wus the case they were encouraging emigration to the United States at the expenso of the British Government. The resolution was finally agreed to.

Cnpt Vnn Seliaicli informs that the report received by way of England of the opening of the Spanish ports to the impor tation of flour &c. and ofthe purchase of all the wheat at Gibraltar, was correct; but the French commander at Cadiz, early in April, issued an order under pretence of guarding against the introduction of conta gious disease, forbidding the entry at that port of any vosschifrom North or South A- inerica, from the first of June to the 1st of Decemher next. There was no scarcity of Flour at Cadiz, which was well supplied by French vessels—the pri e was about, 7 dol lars per barrel, but there was a great want of salt provisions, and none to be had at the time except at exorbitant prices. Mercantile Advertiser. From Havana,—By the brig Pomona, we have-received our files of Havana Pa pers to thc23d inst. They contain nothing of interest. Our Correspondent writes us that it was remarkably healthy at Havana, very few eases of fever existing and those of a mild character.

TO TIIE EDITORS OP THE GEORGIAN. Gentlemen—The room in which I lodge was formerly occupied by a dapper little gentleman, who is described by the land lord to have been a most inquisitive char acter, and withal much addicted to scrib bling, assuming great airs and talking much to himself of “ blowing h-up the Jonathans sky ’igh when he returned to Brummagem!" This little gentleman, who always appear ed to look round him with suspicion on every one born on this side the water, it ap pears had made his exit, modestly and dis creetly, without paying his hoard, and has not since been seen—anil it was much feared, Mexico.—It is confidently believed in London, by those interested in Mexican speculations, that notwithstanding tho late tariff proposed by the minister of that coun try, no duty on gold and silver will be im- had boon either devoured by an Alligator or posed by the government of Mexico, and a j kicked to death by moschetoes. Be that as that lie wifi take them into his family and rive them a seat at his table again, with i ifcltur grace than he would do, if they ac tualiy solicited him for a dinner to keep them from actual hunger. For these same reasons, they do much j wbichthe revohnbTb'e vi as h semblam o honor to the men who fa uidr-d in separating them from England, to whose memories they tender tho show of S ratitude, whilst they curse them in their earts. For to such men is to be attributed till the distresses they now experience. Out of such mere policy they are going to erect a monuincut which will cost a million of dollars, to the memory of General Wash ington, who was buried at his country sen:, called Bunker’s Hill, which is situated in Charleston, the capital of the adjoining 8tr.li of North Carolina. It is quite a ro mantic spot, aud in ardor to save myself the trouble of a description, I will refer you to a better one, which you will find in Dr. Bon Johnson’s Dictionary—article Moun tain. ThiR city soon caught the mania for rmfn- ument-buiiding—and there is no doubt in a year or two, the whole of this country will exhibit the appearance of one vast gruve- yard. By a subscription of two guineas to each subscriber, they have been enabled to erect in one of the public squares, a monu ment to the rebel general ureene; and an other of marble to the memory of the pat riot, Benedict Arnold. General Lafayette, a mason of some dis tinction in Erance, has been imported ex pressly for the purpose of laying corner stones. He was induced to come to this country, in order to realize enough from such jobs, to pay himself the money he lent this country when it was struggling with ours. On his arrival, the government felt some compunctious vi kings, for having let his demand remain so long unpaid, and they endeavored to mnke up for it, by treating him civilly, and feasting him by fine speech es and poor dinners—at the same time, they were practising upon him the most obomin able deception. They caused to be pub lished in the newspapers, that he was re-1 ccived with acclamation, and passed thro* j the country in trinmph.

Africa—Accounts have reached Eng land of the death of Capt. N. J. Gordon who had undertaken to penetrate into the interior of Africa by way of the Nile. How many enlightened men and enterpri zing travellers, have been sacrificed in the deadly climate of Africa, for the “ acqui sition,” as it is calk'd, of “ Geographical Science; " and what has been attained ?— It may be justly doubted, whether the ob jects expected to be achieved by the at tempts to penetrate into the interior of this hot rid country, are of sufficient magnitude if ever attained, to repay the sacrifices made.
