VVe ure requested to elite, that William it. Bull ocii, Esq. will net be a candidate for Alderman at the approaching election. Our columns are principally occupied to day in the publication of the correspondence between General Gaines and Governor Troip, which will be road with interost. The northern papers continue to complain of the continued hot weather. Vegetation is described as literally burnt until crisp tnd brown, by the heat of the sun, and man and animals fainting under the inten sity of his heat, whilst the night is equally sultry. On the 20th ult. in New-York, the thermometer actually rose three degrees du ring the night. Numerons deaths continu cd to take plaee by the .imprudent use of Cold water. The Pirate on our Coast, it is now pretty Well ascertained, is no pirate at all. By the ship President, arrived at Charleston, on Thuredsy, which vessel was boarded off Hatteras by the Revenue Cutter Alert, Capt. Cahoone, the Cutter Vigilant in com pany, we learn that depositions had boon taken from some of the most respectable persons residing near where several dead bodies was said to have been found, who • ited, that the report was entirely without foundation—only one dead body having been found without a head, and that sup posed to have been token off by the sharks. By calculation and estimate. General La- fhyette, when he returns to Prance, will have travelled from the time he left his na tive soil for thiscountry last summer, to the day of his return, between sixteen and eigh teen thousand miles! He has not had a lay's sickness it. the whole period. Finn 1—At Hudson, N.

India Cotton—A letter from a respecta ble house in Liverpool, dated June 8th, com municates the following information. “ The foivicr, received from Bombay, from w hence considerable eupplios of Cotton were ex pected, state that the article was so scarce theta vessel which hsd been some time previously engaged to bring a cargo, could not obtain it, and actually sailed for Calcut ta in search of freight.

Your power, not your influence, might have been available to be mire, but your power was not. here ; and for preserving this peace you know what a respectful testimonial I have of tho tiiAuks of your government, couched in most delicate uud complimentary terms. The suggestion you make in derogation of our claim to participate in the construc tion or execution of tho treaty, giving to that suggestion its utmost force, is merely that we an* not nominally parties to the treaty; whilst the answer to it. is, that we are a party in interest deeper tenfold t.hn. thoy who appear upon the paper, and that the paper, in virtue of another paper tn wlrch we wore parties both nominally and in interest, pussod a vested right of soil and of jurisdiction to Georgia, which none but the Great Jehovah ct»n divest.
