Augusta, Nov. 1.—The ret;ent failures
|n Europe, and in this country, have affect
ed Augusta, as well as other southern cities,
some say severely Their patalixin; effect,
with the fall of cotton, are aeen in tho on -
usual suspension of business, at the preaent
season* when, if ever, a profitable business
ia expected. The present price of onr sta
ple Is io low,' that at the most moderate
calculation I have heard, seven-tenths of
the cotton received, ie stored for better
time*. Whether these will ever arrive, ie
quits uncertain, in my opinion. Another
.cause also tendrto depress business at pre
sent, the lowneia of the river. TheCharles-
ton boats cannot now approach this city
within forty-five miles—the Georgia boats
Within twenty-five. Cotton is quoted it
flora tl to l*f cents—tjye latter very fine.
. I have been persona from varioue parte of
the stale. •' The- result of my enquiries, as
to the crop, iMhat it is superior in quantity
and quality, to any preceding year. Al-
though in come of the counties injury has
been experienced by the rot and the rust,
this is helieved to be true of the aggregate.

Tbe following curious account oftheytause
uf damming a Play in giving in an old Dra-
malic Register :
" The Wary Widow, or Sir Noisy Parrot,
Comedy, by Henry Higden,iu 1693. 'This
very far from-being the worst of our Eng
lish Comedies, being ushered into the world
by several complementary verses, and a pro
logue written by Sir Charles Sedleyyet it
was damned the first' night, owing to a very
extraordinary circumstance, which was, that
the author had introduced so much drinking
or punch into me play, that the performers got
drunk during the acting of if, and were un
able to go through with their parts; on Which
account, and the treatment the audience gare
them by hisses and cat-calls in consequence
of it, the house was obliged to be dismissed at
the end of tbe third act.”
Extract of a letter from Doct. Howe, sm
American Scrgeon in the Greek .erviec, da
ted Hydra July 13th received at Boston.
At sea affairs go badly ; part of the enemy’s
fleet came out of Suda, and were furiously
engaged by the little Greek vessels, and two
burials were burnt against them, hut unfortu
nately without effect; and their heavy frigates
with troops on board, bore away for Modon,
where they have before now arrived. Ono
of the Hydriot brigs returning home, was
blown up by a Turkish slave on board, and
60 out of Iter crew of 85, perished. This cir
cumstance leads me to mention an affair
which I shudder to recall to 'memory, and
which I blush to record. On the receipt uf
the news of this destruction of their country-
meo, the Hydriots seized on the Turkish pi is
oners in this plare, and barbarously murder
•red 700 of them, with iheir pistols, yatagaus,
k knifes. This tyas not merely a burst of fury
—it was not merely the act of a mob j—no!
the melancholy truth cannot be hid, three
fourths of the people of Hydry did not—do
not condemn it., ft was not the act of a mo
ment ; the work of death went on fur three
hours.:—in all tins time the agonizing shrieks
of two hundred mangled, dying victims, reach
ed the ears of the old Primates, who vat iu
their Caiednics, smoking their pipes, and
merely saying. “ Oh ! it is a vory bad thing!”
took no steps to stop the slaughter. No one
friend of humanity rushed forward. to save
them, though the poor wretches, after being
stabbed, ran shrieking—staggering—throug t
the streets, shot at by the men, stoned by the
children, until some lucky ball eased them of
their sufferings; and fhoy sunk flown upon the
ground;'where they tay unburied and kicked
about like dugs, till the Greeks were obliged,
for their own takes, to throw them into the
sea. Only twenty slaves escaped by conceal
ing IheinselVcs, and these were yesterday tent
home to Smyrna, in order, if possible, to pa
cify tbe Turks, • and prevent a reprisal upon
the Greeks there; and it is a fact as strange
as true, tint these slaves went home with re-
Inctance.—These . very Hydtiots, who bar
harcutly murdered 700 Turks, in general
treat them with to much kindness and'indul
gence, that they consider it a mitfurrtune to
to be sent home. And ia this the people in
whose cause I am engaged, and whose feel
ings and fears I make my own ? Alas! they
have polluted a cause the most righteous, with
deeds Most diabolical, and almost as bad
their inhumane enemies. But the philau
thropitt will tay, •• if they are thus depraved,
so much more peed of their improvement.”
For myself mr ltopes are not io this genera
tion, bot to the next-; for ages past they have
laboured Under an eppnftsion the most horri

Intelligence had been received in England
of the captureof Arrncan. the chief town of
tho province of thutname, in the Burmese-
Empire, and that DonobeW had fallen into
thn hands of the Britith forces without appo
sition. The struggle on tho part ofthe Bur
mete appears to.be much less vigorous, than
that made by Tippoo Sultan in defence of
hi* dominions. There is very little doubt it
will terminate, first or last, in the coitqucs'
ofthe natives, and probably the annexation
ofthe Empire to tho British dominions.
The following account of Arrncan.» from,
he London Courier uf September 14.
Arracan, -he capture of which- le an
nounced in another part of our paper, ia the
chief town of Arracan, a province of tin
Burmese empire. ‘ It is situated in 1st.' 70.

ferl,’ says Stines, “were taken by (lie "Bur
mans, in 1783, after a feeble resistance.—
They found a considerable booty, but on no
thing was a higher value placed than an im
age of Gaudina, (the Lautama'of the Hiu
dons, a name of Btftldha.) made of brass,
and highly burnished. The figure is about
ten feefhigh, and in the customary sitting
posture, with the legs crossed and inverted
the left band re-ting on the lap, the righ
pendant. This image is believed to he the
riginal resomblsncc of theReeshe, (Saint,j
taken from life, and it is so highly venerated
that pilgrims have for centuriea been accu*
corned to come from the remotest countries,
where the •upremaoy of Grudina is acknowl
edged, to pay their devotions at tho feet of
his brazen representatives.' There were
also five images of Reeshyas, the demons
ofthe Hindoos, of the Bame metal, and
if gigantic staturh. the gua rdians of the sane
toary. A singular piece of ordoance, of
most enormous dimensions, was also found
composed of huge bars, of iron, beaten into
form. This ponderous cannon measured
30 feet in length, two and a half in diameter
at Ihe mouth, and 10 inches in thn calibre
It was transported by the Bormans to Urn-
incrapoora by water, as a military trophy
and Gaudina. with his infernal guards, were
in. like manner, conveyed to the capital with
much pomp and superstitious parade.”
The work is Done -At twenty minutes
>ast eleven o’clock tl)is morning, the joyful
ntelligence was proclaimed to our citizens
by the roar of artillery, that the great, the
gigantic work,of uniiingthe upper lakes with
the ocean, was completed, and that exactly
in hour and twenty minutes before, the first
boat from Erie had entered the canal, and.
commenced its voyage to New-York. Thil
prnutl intelligence having been communica-
i ed in tho same manner to Sandy Hook, and
,-itico of its reception returned to the city,
he return sslute was commenced at'Fnrt
Lafayette; by a national salnte, at 73 mill
ites post eleven, tnd the sounds nf nur re
joicing sent roaring and echoing along the
mountains, and among the Highlands, back
io Buffalo, where it was doubtless received

Far I’ve followed thee, Mary,

Thy comfort sal bo a’our core.
_ Dear lasae listen to me-
-Blithe tho birdies sing, Mary,
By the bonie huru o’Ardoh,
As the s|irouts o’ spring, Maty,
Busk the braes sue w.ily;
While wimplin’ wildly out an’ iu,
An’ dancin’down ilk little lipn.
The burnie rows wi’ rantin’ din,
Whore we will wonder daily.
Blest sal we be then, Mary,
By Ihe bonie burn o’ Ardoh ;
While baith late an’air, Mary,
I will flantthee dearly.
While lavrneks wauk the smilin’ morn,
An’ Unties wait the e’en return.
The lowe o’ lave will fondly burn
That heats this heort—my Mary.
