Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Baltimore to his friend in Charleston, dnted May 28,1819 •‘The President, Cashier, and first Teller of the Branch Bank, are removed; also, the Cashier and first Teller of the Union Hank of Maryland; also, the Cashier of the City Hank of Ualtimore. The Branch Ilank to-day refused to receive on depos it the bills of the City Bank; the consequence was an immediate run for specie on this Bank com- menced, and before 1 o’clock payment was re- fused, and at 2 o'clock the doors were closed, re port says they will be opened to-morrow!!. Rune upon the Mechanic's Hank were also commenc ed, and they continued to pay nntiU o'clock, the usual hour of closing tne.r doors To morrow the whole of the City Hanks will no doubt be pushtdh-ard, and I should nut be at all surprised, should they suspend payment. The Branch Bank has no bills in circulation, and of cunt se cannot he troubled. Failures arc daily increasing, and general bankruptcy appears inevitablt; mean time business is suspended. It is supposed the United Stales' Bank will lose the whole capital of its Branch here—s:,y (,ii se milUmt ofdillart ” Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Balti more to his friend in Charleston, dated May 28th, 1819. "Nothing but gloom around us—my brother this moment steps in to say that the City Bank, with a capital of £300,000, and perhaps double that out in paper shut to-day at 1 o'clock, and the notes offered at 75 per cent, discount The Mechanics Bank, of the same standing, is hard run, and will be more so tomorrow. Every one has notes in his packet book of both these Banks, and suffers. Presidents, Cashiers, and Clerks are going out, overwhelmed in ruin, and execrated for their conduct while in office.” Baltimore, May 29. A necessary arrangement at the City Bank of Baltimore yesterday, excited a partial alarm, chiefly among the laburing class of citizens, respecting bank paper, and caused a number of small demands for specie on several of the other Banks, which wbb renewed this morning. These demands were met so promptly, that the public confidence was soon restored. Ex cepting a few instances the sums deman ded were very small; a great proportion of them, both in number and amount, did not exceed ten dollars from each claimant ami very many uf them were for one and two dollars. At the Mechanics’ Bank of Baltimore, where the greatest number of claims were made, several of the directors attended to assist the officers of the Bank, and by this means a vast crowd of demands were sa tisfied in a short period, so that before 12 o’clock to-day, scarcely a solitary claim ant remained, and the demand ha9 now Wholly ceased. A gratifying instance of the confidence reposed in the Mechanics’ Bank of this ci'y : came to our knowledge this morning, during the run which was made upon that institution Cor specie. A Lady came to »ay, that she hau laid by a few hundred Spanish dollars, which if the Bank want ed them, were entirely at its service. A number of respectable citizens, also prov ed their confidence in each of the Banks, by making deposits of specie. As an act of justice, which we have much pleasure in performing, we add, that the several respectable exchange offices in this city have evinced, orr this occasion, an active and friendly liberality in their conduct, which has been highly useful iuf aiding the Banks to quiet the alarm whicl prevailed; for this meritorious conduct they will receive as they deserve, tkfc thanks of their fellow citizens. That oxe or two citizens have acted othetwiso thah friendly to the Banks we sincerily regret, and hope that on reflection, thej will be sensible of the impropriety of asdsting to increase an unnecessary excitement. The friendly conduct of all the other Banks iu this city to those on which de mands were made, is highly honorable to their respective officers and directors; and, the increase of confidence in the safety of our monied institutions which must be the result of this judicious conduct, will rem der the short excitement which we have' experienced a benefit to our city. Anecdote.—A gentleman of this city, whether actuateifby imaginary fears, or a disposition to add to the embarrassments of Ids fellow citizens, during the unfoun ded alarm excited yesterday, made a draft upon the Mechanics’ Bank for the balance of his account there, to the amount of up wards of 84(100, which was immediately paid to him in specie. His object was to place it in some other hank which he tho’t nuire secure, but to the honor of the feel ings which ; t present pervade the commu nity, this evidence of his desire to oppress one bank was so resentfully viewed by the others, that not one of them would con sent to receive the deposit, or open an ac count with him Balt. Fed. Gaz. LATEST FROM ENGLAND. Baltimore, May 29. By the s ip Philip, 42days /tun Liver- poot,turieed this morning. From the London Courier of April 12, An attempt has been made to poison the Emperor nf Austria, on hit passage through Mantua. This diabolical design, it seems, was meditated by a set of re formers, called the Calhonari certain en lightened individuals, wiio imagine that Italy can never be well governed till all its Winns States are united under its sceptre. The political relations of the House of .Austria with the North of Italy are an obstacle in the way of his scheme, and with a degree of folly, equalled only by the atrocity of the design, it appears to have been believed, that destroying the head of that house would annihilate also, the matured policy of Europe which de termine the existing condition of Italy. The absurdity of this supposition might excite only our derision, were it not for irofligacy of intention with which it lited. Assassination seems to be growing favorite with the professors of liberal doctrines all over the world. It is an expeditious remedy for suppositious wrongs, well suited to the motives of those who complain, and we observe there is al ways a mischievous spirit of ingenuity at work to contrive palliatives for the abhorrence of mankind at such atrocities. Thus the Morning Chronicle thinks it “at least as probable, that the conspiracy al luded to has been charged upon the mem bers of his sect or secret society, as I pretext to justify still harBher measures against them, as that any of them had actually compassed the death of the em peror of Austria.” From the Georgia Advertiser, 2d inst, Forth* information of persons who may have occasion to travel up the country, either for health or pleasure, I beg leave, through your paper, to mention, that an ex cellent line of stages is now running irom Augusta to Athens, twice a week.—One stage leaves Augusta.everv Monday and Philadelphia, May ie. I The brig Gossypium, Stow, cleat ed at New- United Sites' Bank stock fell this forenoon, York on the 28th ult. for this port on tlie arrival of tlie mail from Baltimore, to g94. It sold in New-York at R95$. Prices (it -iugusta, June 5.

As the stages and horses are good, and the drivers excellent, it is believed that a more pleasant line is not to be in the southern country. As I have recently made an experiment of it, I deem ed it but proper to take this notice of it, for the benefit of those who might not know of the establishment, and who, like myself, might have occasion to make use of it. A TRAVELLER. Something new.—The steam-boat Alta- maha, capt. Jewett, arrived at this place on Monday in the extraordinary passage of two and a halj days from Savannah. Ibid. OBJTUARY. “Each moment has ,'ts sickle, emulous Of Time’s cnomous scythe, whose ample sweep Strikes empireafrom the root} each moment plies His little weapon in the narrower sphere Of sweet domestic comfort, and cuts clown The fairest blooms of sublunary bliss.” Tn the death ofGEonnE Kkb, esq’r, his kindred friends snd soc.ety have suffered a great loss, which is felt with redoubled force because Jt was sudden and unexpected. We witness the alow and silent progress of decay in nature, with comparative unconcern; but when the towering oak is prostrated by lightning in its pride of bloom, or when the firm and stately edifice is overthrown by an earthquake, we are struck with wonder and grief at the sudden desolation; thus we behold our fellow creatures sinking gradually to the tomb, under the hand of dis ease and Time, with leu sensation than when Death abruptly enters the social circle and snatches a companion from the festive board, in the midst of enjoyment, in full health, and in the bloom of life. The death of Mr. Ker under any circumstances, would always be s verely felt by those who intimately knew him, but hia sudden and unexpected departure from among us heightens, tenfold, the tragic effect of the calamity. We, w*!o knew him well; who have to often enriched our minds with the treasures of his in tellect, and drawn from the fountains of his ex haustless wit and humor so great a portion of our happiness and amusement—we only cm be sensible of his value while living, or realize the magnitude of the loss, sustained by his deatl.— Mr. Ker, as a friend and companion, had m^de himself almost necessary to our happiness. In grace and elegance of manners, and in personal appearance, he was scarcely excelled. He pap- sessed a mind of superior order, which united brilliancy of fancy with solidity of judgment.— No one was more conversant with polite litera ture, and few could boast of a greater share of the more solid acquirements. Mr. Ker had at tained a conspicuous rank among the gentlemen of his profession, and was rapidly rising to emi nence. By his assiduity and talents he had just straightened the road to fame and fortune, when he fell in the midst of the journey of life, to rise no more! But 1 forget my own griefs and lay down my pen to weep for the sorrows of others, when I think of his bereaved mother, his sisters and brothers; when I think what ago nies they endure and how many tears they will yet shed on his untimely grave! He was the best and most affectionate son and brother, and never was a son ami brother more ardently lov ed, or more deeply lamented. The last words of Mr. Ker expressed more on this subject thaa volumes of eloquence could do. The instant he received the fatal load in bis body, lie tel), and while falbng exclaimed, “O, mv dear mother!” and never spoke more! But I forbear. It is my duty to blunt, and not to sharpen the sting of griefs already too keenly felt. He is irrevocably lost, and but one reme dy is left which can even palliate the grief which afflicts his bereaved family—that rt rnedv is religion. O, let us pour the balm of christi- anity on our wounded hearts. Standing on the rock of religions faith, let us look up from this vale of tears, mid say “thy will be done.” Be holding with resignation the wrecks which strew the ocean of life, let us recognize, in eve ry thing, the operations of infinite wisdom, ilnei The sloop Condoms, Preble, arrived ai Pro- vidcnce on the 33d ult in 6 days from this port.

Georgetown, May 26, 1819. Messrs. Gales 8c Seaton, Gentlemen: Knowing there are a num ber of the most worthless of society, who make it a business.,) spread evil reports respecting the solvency „f Banks in the different parts of the United States, for tlie purpose of depreciating and purcha sing their paper, I feel it my duty to give a list of the Banks in the District of Co lumbia, that it may be made known to all persons, in every part of the Union, that ’.lie said Banks do pay specie for their notes, on demand, and that they are justly entitled to tlie highest credit arid standing; ind that they are opposed to a suspension ♦f specie payments, and will be the laBt in Ihe country that will agree to such a mea sure. This communication is made to prevent imposition, and to inform all per sons who may have the paper of these Banks, in any part of the Union, that they may hold it as so much specie. Persons emigrating anil travelling North, South, or West would do well by taking the note, of these Banks, as they will always find them equal to specie, and often to command a premium uf from 5 to 10 per cent, for remittances to Baltimore, Phila delphia and New York.

In sight of which place she was captured.— During the month of April there was a small launch bound from Aux Cayes to .Tacmel with seven Indigenes, who had on board 600 dollars taking from the Key to Aux Cayes, they were perceived by several of the laborers employed in working there, and stopped; four ot them agreed to try and capture the money: they pro ceeded and armed themselves with sabres and knives, and overhauled the boat: the crew being unarmed they immediately killed 5 of them, the remainder jumped overboard and swam ashore: one lying in the boat as they supposed dead, they threw him overboard, and though he had received several cuts over his head and body, he reached the shore and there laid five hours until day light, when he was picked up by a fisher-man, who took him to Aux Cayes: on his arrival at the Key, the first man to assist him out of the boat was one of the murderers.
