SATURDAV MORNING, JULY l*. Extract “ June 7th, lat. 34,42, long 67, spoke the sehnr. Trimmer, Capt.

William C. Wayne, Jobefii S. Pelot, and William A. Moore, were on Wednes- Capt. Varnum describes the above men' tioned vessel, as being about Bixty tons bur then, sharp built, with a gafftnpsail and top. mast stay-sail, sweeps, top-cloths and net tings, and a numerous crew—having alto gether a Cruizor like appearance, nnd which it is not doubted is tho same vessel that has recently been seen in tho vicinity of Cape Ilatteras, and mistaken for a pirate. The day elected by the Justices of the Inferior ! late gales satisfactorily account for her bo- Court, Receivers of the names of persons in Chatham County, entitled to draws in the contemplated Land Lottery, Latest trom Cuba.—We learn by a passenger in the pilot-boat schooner Savan nah, arrived yesterday ill eighty hours from Matanzas, that a serious insurrection a- mong the negroes took place in the neigh borhood of that place, about the 17th ult. The number of the revolters was about five hundred, who divided themselves into -par ties of from forty to fifty. These parties proceeded to several plantations, in every instance murdering the head of the tamily. In one instance, a party of fifty entered a bouse of public entertainment, took posses sion and lulled every one of its inmates. They then intoxicated themselves with tho liquors, in which state they were surprized and taken. Much alarm had existed in Ma tanzas ; and the volunteers had been ordered out, and were doing duty in the city when our informant was there , but the insurrec tion was soon pul down and tranquility restored. There were under arras in Ma tanzas about 1000 men. The whole num ber of whites who had lost their lives was sixteen. The loss of the rebels was about one hundred killed, end seventy-five pri soners, who would be tried and punished. The remainder had escaped to the moun tains. It was very healthy at Matanzas, but one ST two cases of fever having occurred. The American herm. brig Hope and Pol ly, Usher, and the Baltimore schooner Cad mus, were seized at Matanzas for attempt ing to smuggle Flour. The U. S. trigate Constellation, arrived at Matanzas on tho 2d inst. from Key-West and a cruize. The U. B. galliot Sea-Gull and schr. Terrier, were also in port. The C. S. corvette John Adams sailed on the Od on a cruise; she was towed out of tho harbor by the Sea-Gull. The U. S. schr. Fox was at Key West, the only U. S. ves sel there The crows of tho U. S. vessels at Matanzas enjoyed good health—the number on the sick list of each was bul six or eight, mostly convalescents. No recent piracies had been committed. We have received the Mstanzns Gazette of the 25th June and 2d inst.; but they contain no intelligence. Since the above was in type, we have re ceived the following from our Correspond ent, the New-York Gazette, which, howe- over, is not so late by two weeks as tho account above From Matanzas.—Captain Brothers, of the schooner Eagle, from Matanzas, informs that intelligence was received there on the afternoon of the 16th inst. that tho negroes on several of the principal plantations in the Partido of St. Jose,about twenty miles from Matanzas, had revolted and murdered the proprietors thereof in the most shocking and cruel manner. Immediately on the re ceipt of this melancholy intelligence, the Governor dispatched a largo body of troops to quell them. Captain B. says that the latest advices from them, juat prior to his sailing, stated that they were pretty well subdued, after killing about sixty or seventy of them. The whole number collected was •aid to be about 300. They killed about fifteen or twenty whites including one fe male, principally foreigners. Whole fa milies were flocking into the city foTBnfcty. The land which has been fixed upon by General Lafavotte in Florida, is in township No. 1 north, in range No. V East; which adjoins Tallahassee. This township is con sidered to be one of ilia boat 'in the terri tory, and its worth is estimated at from ing so near tho coast. It i# stated in tho Cahawba Press, that the notes of Georgia and South Carolina are not received in payment for public lands by the Treasurer of Alabama.—Is this of a piece with the late orders not to receive the notes of Georgia and South Carolina, at the Land Sales of Tallahassee ? It is a serious question why this exclusion is made, when the Ranks in those two states, with the exception of one, pay specio for their bills, and are considered as good as any in the Union. Wc have waited for some time in expectation of an explanation of the cause of the first act of favoritism and in justice, but in vain. An explanation is due to the character of the government as well as to those who have been injured. Indian Treaties.—Full deputations of Osages, Kansas, Delawares, and Weas, we learn, met Gen. Clarke at St. Louis, on the 1st. inst. and agreed upon a treaty, which was to have been signed the next day, in which the Osages and Kansas relin quish all their lands to the United States. Their future possessions, it is said, will jie along and over the western boundary of Missouri. Some difficulty, we learn, exis ted at the time between the Osages, Dela wares, and Shawanese, which, however, wai in the way of a speedy adjustment. Had the agoi t, in this instance, inter fered to defeat th*e treaty from political motives, the result would, no doubt, have been different—it would be well for the U. States government and the interests of the people, if all their agents were equally faithful and equally removed from interfer ence in the local politics of the state go. vermnentg. Govomor tulnley, of Bermuda, whose presence, since his first recall, and subse quent return has kept the island in a fer ment, has been again recalled by the Bri tish government, and sailed on the 8th ult. for Halifax. Cotton,—By a statement recently made, says the N. Y. Daily Advorlisor, by papons who have the means of aaertaining, the stock ot Cotton in the New-York market exclusive of what is on shipboard, is about 20,000 bales -, but a few weeks since the stack exceeded 50,000. The National Journal of the 30th June contains the items of the claims which have been allowed by the Colombian Govern ment in the cases of tho following vessels, belonging to citizens of tho United States, viz: The Tyger, Liberty, Josephine, Ame rica, and Minerva. Bills for the amount have been drawn by the Columbian Go vernment upon its Consul General in this country, and its Special Agent in England. The Secretary at War has returned to Washington. New-Oricans papers state that the wea ther was favorable in that city. The Mis sissippi, above and below Fort Plaquemine, suddenly rose several feet on the first of June, producing.a considerable agitation, setting large trees adrift, and leaving on the levee, at its fall, a number of fish thrown up by the agitation. Prince Murat, (son of the King of Na ples, who was executed by the restored king about the close of the continental war) has arrived in New-York, and after spending a few days with his uncle Joseph Bonaparte at Bordentown, N. J. intends to proceed to Florida, to join his elder brother Col. Acii- ille Murat, who is cultivating a large tract of land there. A Mr. JonniXE, who was one of the em igrants from Baltimore to Liberia, it is sta ted, after his arrival at that place turned pirato, and joined a party who kidnapped and sold their fellow beings into slavery.— The agent at Mesurado writes to his cor respondent at that place, that Jordine was taken, and was on his was to Freetown, to be hanged. Between three and four hundred gentle men were expected to visit New-York from Philadelphia, on the occasion of the late celebration of the anniversary of Indepen dence, which in the former, would be unu sually splendid, General Lafayette intend ing to be present. It was said that from the opposition between the different steam-boat lines, passage would be obtained at the sum of$l 50,and probably at $1, and through, in Several murders of great atrocity have been committed within a short period in the city of New-York. Captain Wm. West A Giant.—A writer in the Philadelphia ’• U. S. Gazette, says that Mr. Magee, 8 feet 9 inches high, from the county of Tyrone, Ireland, has arrived in the ship Conestoga at Pliladelphia. Chief Justice Marshall is said to be en gaged in writing, and indeed is far advanc- was murdered in a shocking manner in j e d, towards completing a history of the A- tbat city, on the night of tho 25th ult.! merican government, from the adoption of and wrapped up in a blanket, aqd thrown; the constitution to the termination ofWAstr- street to the Bay, as an experiment, to as certain the practicability of thus draining the city of superabundant water—which was laid over for consideration gt the next meeting. A communication was also received from the Board of Health,recommending the ap pointment of one or more persona to go through the wards of tho city, and see that each family be provided with a mixture of lime and wood ashes, to be used in the pu rification of privies, and recommending that they be furnisliod at a moderate price, or gratis to those unablo to procure them. The monthly report of the Inspector of Dry Culture, was received and read. WtLi.tAM H. Green was elected a member oftho Fire Company. The following report and resolution from the Fire Company, were received and read: “ The committee of tho Fir<\ Company, which had under consideration a report made to the City Council, upon the sub ject of a communication made to Council by the Chief Fireman, having reported favora- by of the plan suggested by the Comuiittco of Council, of procuring new fire apparatus : " Retained, That the Committee pursue their labora by forming a junction with the Committee of Council, And endeavor to im press upon that body the necessity ofprompt measures being taken to purchase new en gines on the New-York construction, will) a sufficient quantity of hose and other ap paratus complete.” On motion of Alderman Morrison,Chair man of the Engine Committee, it was then resolved, That the Mayor be, and lie is hereby authorised, as soon as practicable, to procure upon the best terms, four new Engines, upon the principles adopted in New-York,combining the auction and pro pelling properties, together with two hun dred and tea feet of hose for each engine, and four hundred feet of extra hose. It was also resolved, that a committee be ap pointed to draft an ordinance to levy a tax on Firs Places of to meet the above expenditure, and to dispense witli the future requisition upon houses for buckets.* On motion of Alderman Minis, resolved, That in cases of lire, the refreshments ne cessary for the support of the Fire Compa nies whilst on duty, shall he furnished by the order of the Chief Fireman, and that order alone shall be the sufficient voucher. On motion of Alderman Gumming, Re solved, That persons subject to Poll Tax, who hove been double taxed in conse quence of not making returns, bo ailowod now to make them, and pay the single tax [* The object contemplated by this reso. lution, is to entirely supercede the purchase of buckets by the citizens, in the room of which, they will pay on every fire-place, a sum, which on an average it is believed will be the same as is now required for the pur- chase of buckets. In the room of the buc ket-system, which in evory city in the Uni on, is now becoming obsolete, on account of its trouble and inefficiency, the citizens will find tliemelves by this arrangement, with little additional cost, in possession of an ef ficient and well arranged fire apparatus, whose benefits will be felt not only in the safety of their lives and property, but in the reduction of insurance—and the in creased confidence ofthe merchants of other cities who have goods deposited here. It is believed that the four old engines, which will be superceded by the new ones, may al so be disposed of, by which the cost will be be considerably reduced. The resolution was passed without a dissenting voice.] Latest from England.—By the Silas Richards, at New-York, London papers to the evening of the 23d and Liverpool of the 25th of May are received. The most interesting item of intelligence is the rejection of the Catholic Bill, by a majority of forty-eight. Thus, again, are the hopes of the Catholics in the justice of the government destroyed, and the prospect of peace and happiness at one time during the the discussion justly entertained by this unhappy people, we may say,destroyed for through the tegiefohir* ofthe empire,through the doors of the constitution, they can no- pf the kingdom, an army, ted hy offish jr his own appointing? The pope, claimed tho right of absolving from ance. The bill would bo a scaling againat the church. * The Earl of Limerick thought him j vor hope for sccosb to its benefits; and therefore, that legal possession being with held from them, they must seek it by moans which the conititution does not recognize. Taking forcible possession of a right refn- erent, and reflected on the non-mlyj? 1 ' sed, is far from being a practice unknown of the English biahops. tnc<: to Irish claimants." i The Marquis of Landsdown AUlfitedoi, The editor then goes on to compare the' examples ofthe U.States, Hollalyi' willing to M oppressions exercised those which drove'' into Gouverneur’s slip. The report of the inquest is, that he came to his death by six wounds inflicted upon his head and neck by an axe or hatchet. One black and three white men have been taken up on suspicion of being enneerned in the murder, and some others are also suspected. Captain West had received four or five hundred dollars in the afternoon- Cape Coast.—By an arrival at Newport from Cape Coast, (Africa,) information iB received, that Capt. Pitts, of the schooner Speedwell, and most of the crow, had died at Bulam, and that the schr. and hor cargo had been seized by the black king. This information was obtained from one of the crew, who had taken passage in a French vessel- Several transports with troops and provisions had arrived at Cape Coast from England. The Ashantees had not been seen since their last defeat by the British, and the nations between them and the sea coast had revolted, and joined the British. By an official notification from the Con sul of the U. S. at Alvarado, it appears that the Mexican government have prohibited trade with Key-West, for the alleged rea son that it has boen attempted, through that channel, to introduce the produce and man ufactures of Spain into Mexico. The whole number of soldiers who served in the Revolutionary war, and who were present in the procession to the Bunker Hill Monument exceeded 200. Ofthe sur viving officers of the battle, no field or stnlf officer is now living. Tliero were present on that day seven captains,three lieutenants in&ton’s presidency. Shipwreck—The brig Dick, of New- York, from Cadiz, bound round Cape Horn, was wrecked April .14, on tint coast ofBra- zil, about 45 miles south of Rio Grande, and Mr. John O'Sullivan, the owner, was drown ed. All the rest on board were saved. The master, capt. Hudson, has arrived at New- York in the brig Adams from Rio Grande. He informs, that the wreck ofthe Dick was sold for $132, and the cargo was totally lost. The brig and cargo were insured in New- York for $125,000, and in Heston $53,000 more—making a total of 17R.OOO dollars. A singular disease is said to Billet the Dogs of Smithfield, in Rhode Island. They appeared to have suddenly assumed the habits and appetites of Beasts of Prey, and attack such other animals they have met, with the ferocity of famished wolves. 160,000 to 200,000 dollars. It is said, that; and one ensign.—Of the Captains, were the General will dispose of one half, say every other section. By an arrival at New-York in six days from Key West, it is stated that the sick ness at that place had abated, the number now being reduced to about eighty. Co). Clark, agrd 95, Capt. Mann, aged 85, Capt. S. R. Trovell, of Artillery, aged 74, and Gen. Henry Dearborn, 74. The Court-Martial which lately eat up an Com. Porter’s Foxardo affair is said to have cost the government $20,000. City Council.—At a regular meeting, Thursday, 7th July, 1825—Present The Mayor, Aldermen Harris, Habersham, Bulloch, Wayne, Minis, Shick, Gaudry, Densler and Cumming. The committee appointed for the purpose, reported a bill to be entitled an ordinance to exempt from engine duty certain persons composing the Band of the Savannah Vo lunteer Guards, which was read the first time. The bill exempts tile persons here named from this duty on all occasions, ex' cent on alarms of tiro. The committee of Finance reported a- gainst the petition of Isaac Norton, fora remission of certain taxes on goods des troyed by tho fire of 1826. The committee to whom was referred the petition of Mr. Waver to obtain a diminu tion of rent on Lots No. 2 and 1* at Spring Hill, recommended that he have leave to give up his lease, and that the said lots be re-sold for the balance of his lease at the following valuation.- Lot No. 2 at 50 dol- ars, and Lot No. 12 at 40 dollars, when the purchaser may have a fair opportunity of purchasing the same. A communication was received and read from the Board of Health, recommending the construction of an acoueduct of wood, I through Whitaker-strcct, from South-Broad sed upon Ireland with and Denmark in favor of this these United'States to The Earl of Liverpool was willjn resistance, and thus reasons upon the pa- it on the ground of expediency Ti.„ ,71 rallel:— l was admirably framed.

Are Catholics then ini' 5 purse, which it iB the essence of represents- tied to the same rights as the Protestant-r tinn to afford the constituent body. Is there, *i— ai t • . a The debate was the. most animated and protracted that has occurred for years. As soon as the question was decided in the House of Lords, the Duke of Sussex imme diitel v proceeded to tho “Dissentient” book arid entered iris name as dissentient against the decision on the Bill. His cxnmple was followed by Lord Jersey, Lord Ellonbo. rough, &c.; but such “Dissentients” were iinaccompanipdby any reasons for the same. Lord Ellenborougli had reasons to assign, but he was too late to enter them The majority offorty-eight would have been fif ty-three, but for the absence ofthe Duke of Northumberland and Lord Prudhuc—they declined leaving proxies—ami the deaths of the Bishop of Salisbury, Lord Whitworth, and anotiier Lord. Five votes against the Bill was thus calculated as having been lost. Several expresses, containing accounts of the division in the House of Lords, wore immediately sent off to Dublin via Liver pool, without even waiting for the reports in the morning papers. The speech of the Duke of York, which he made on tho Co lic question, “has been printed in lettert of gold," and is offered for sale at $2 75 by the London Booksellers. The only Bishops who voted for the bill were the Bishop of Norwich, present, and the Bishop of Rochester by proxy. The Times comments with great force upon the impolicy and injustice of rejection and particularly upon the manner of it. “ It was,” says the Times, “ not alone an unfavorable, it had the appearance of an angry vote. We say nothing of tho Hus sar officers, (alluding to the Marquis of An- glesea) who talkpain characteristic lan guage about fighting their countrymen, de fending positions, and so forth ; but we la ment to have heard a Bishop so intolerant as the Right Reverend Father who was loudest in his denunciation of the Catho lics ; and still more do we lament the tone of the Prime Minister, .who forgot his argu ment, and even did apparent violence to the constitution of a temperate or phlegma tic mind,for the sake of pronouncing against six millions of Catholics eternal exclusion from the rights of British subjects. Lord Liverpool's speech was not an objection to time or circumstances merely—it was an objection to the principle of the measure of emancipation ; and if good for any thing, would be of equal force an hundred years hence as at this moment. It was full be sides, of exasperating sentiments. What inference, then, is it probable the Catholioa will draw from an opposition to their claims thus constructed ! We fear this (tho* God grant our feui may be unfounded) that then, in the wliolo range of history a paral lei, to far at itgoei, more striking than this of o,ur former North American fellow-sub jects to the case of the Irish Catholics / “ The Irish arc taxed without being re presented, for tlioy cannot choose for tlieir representatives those who have a common interest with them. “ The Irish are prosecuted and sentenced before tribunals, the officers of which are of a sect who nvow themselves of a separate feeling from the Catholics,and who founded the exclusion of the latter from the bench of justice, on the consciousnoBB that the distinction is real. Irish Catholics arc per secuted more than were the Americans, for another reason—their faitli is made a tax upon them, which that ol'tlio Colouisls was not. “ What then, let us ask once more, is to prevent the same causes from producing si milar effects in Ireland as elsewhere ? “Lord Liverpool,indeed,says that Ireland will still be quiet—that tier disturbances have no connexion with Catholic grievan ces—and that it is only front evil-minded incendiaries we have to tear an excitement of the multitude. The same language was employed towards the Americans—tlieir leaders were nicknamed—their grievances were denied—their resistance was luuglied at. Still they triumphed, still they put to shame the Ministers who had oppressed, provoked, and made war upon them. Lord Liverpool knows all this. He ought, bett er than most mon, to have been apprized of it —better than most men, to have gathered wisdom from that disastrous history. Lord Liverpool ought to remember* who was Se cretary at War during the contest with our American cohnios, and in spite of whose obstinacy, and (political) bigotry, and sub servience to Royal prejudices; (we mean no personal disrespect to the aoblc Iford's feelings while thus speaking of a public cha racter) it was, that the war, so wickedly excited, had an ending so disgraceful and deplorable.” * Alluding to Mr. Jcnhison, the father of Lord Liverpool, [Ed. Am.) The Catholic Relief Bill was taken up in the House of Lords on the 17th of May.— Among the petitions presented in favour of i:, was one by Lord Grey, which, he said, contained the signatures of more than 30,- 000 persons, among whom were tho Duke Norfolk, and all the Roman Catholic Peers. Prelates and Clergy, ofthe ancient Roman Catholic gentry of the kingdom. He re ferred the House to the time when their Catholic ancestors made the most powerful and successful ap enl against papal usurpa tion. Ho said tho House had refused to do. to Ireland wlint they had dime to America and he hoped it might not bring about a si milar separation The Earl of Dononglunorc moved the se cond reading ofthe bill. Lord Colchester said, the kind of eman cipation lie wished to provide for Ireland was from bigotry and ignorance, and from that foreign power whose influence over the minds of her population had so materially contributed to her debasement. He also wished to see her emancipated from the extreme subdivisions and under-letting of lauds, which kept her in poverty end ail its consequent evils. He hud found that the distresses and disturbances of Ireland did not arise from any difference ot religious feelings. The Marquis of Anglesea said that eve ry concession had only rendered the Catlie- lies more restless. They would be content with nothing short of ascendancy. If it must be a trial of strength against the Pro testants, he could not yield to them the right of having their Bishops appointed by any other power but the King of the coun try. The Marquis of Camden supported the bill. Earl Darnley said that such petitions might be drawn up and signed in England, even for the removal ofthe Noble Lord on the Woolsack. The Earl of Longford, said it was urged that the adoption oftho bill will add to the prosperity of the country—lie was content with the station they had already reached. “The necessity 1 ” of the measure reminded him of tlieold Irish chieftains : “ You owe me tribute; nnd if you don’t”—" I owe you no tribute ; and if I did—" There coutd be noProtestaut security without Protestant ascendancy. The Bishop of Norwich implored that the system of injury might be nmdc to cease, whicli had been heaped on five millions of loyal subjects and conscientious Christians. There was no country in Europe more dis graced by penal laws than Ireland. If the church of England could not be maintain ed without persecution, ho would say ict it fall. If worldly advantages could be se cured to him by the sufferings of so many fellow beings, they would have no charms for him. The Earl of Carberry was satisfied the measure had better be carried soon or late. The Bishop of Chester said the bill recog. nized the right of excluding Catholics from stations in the state, according to a rule of expediency ; as by it. they would not be per mitted to bo Lord Chancellors, and he tiiot it expedient to carry the exclusion further. A revision of the revenue laws was wanted —a purer administration of justice, educa tion, and the residence of proprietors on their estates. This would be emancipation and would produce the desired effect. The Catholic priests denounced the Pro. the Priests arc absolute masters ofthe minfe and actions of their flocks. The Catholics do not, like the dissenters, lay the bihle m tho corner slor.c of union with the Church of England. What could be done with e, lections if the priests could excommunicate ■ candidate? Jle held that the protean* succession was the foundation of the t0 ‘. vernment. It the bill passed, Great Britain would no longer be a Protestant slate. effect would be slow but sure. To destroy the protestant church was their oath, their everything. Religion hail nothing tody With the distresses in Ireland. The bid. Catholics had more privileges thin j.,, people on the continent. The world tfc told by certain publications, 'hat nothin bps been gained by the Reformation; bit lie would make no desperate experiments on a constitution under which Great Dri- lain hod engaged so much. The Lord Chancellor said it was the do. claration of Mr. Pitt, that the Catholic claims could not be agreed to without coin.' pinto securities to tho Protestant establish., ment. These he hud not yet discovered in the hill, the preamble indeed said, that, it was to knit together the licsrta of men, but it had already set the persons to he benefit, ted by the ears. By it, three Catholics wero to regulate the intercourse with Romo, without giving anv pledge for the security of the crown ; but he had sworn not to m . knowledge any foreign potentate. The house was divided, and the votes stood For the bill— Votes present, 84, proxies,46—13# Against it—present, 113, proxies, 85—lii Majority against it, 48. Ministers had communicated three state papers to parliament, of considerable ini.' portance, from the foreign department.— The first was a treaty with Russia. F -i.tliog the disputed claim-, which existed, with re. gard to curtain rights of trade and Naviga tion in the Pacific. The second was a trea ty between England and Sweden, (pcpvi- ding (by the establishment of the mutual right of search) for the more effectual sup pression ofthe slave trade. Tho third, the official document of tlie treaty of amity and commerce between England aud the Uni ted Statee of La Plata. When Mr. Can ning laid the last of theso papers before the house, tlitre were long and loud cheere from all sides ofthe house. The health of tho Ling of England wai considered to be in a very precarious state. The British government had gived ordeti for a considerable relaxation in ike quira,,- tine system, preparatory, it was undtretomj to an almost total repeal ofthe laws on lint subject. In consequence of this, thoboiii of health at Genoa ordered a rigid quaran tine upon all vessels trom England;and thia example, it was said, was likely to be fol lowed at all the Italian ports.
