Sukiusder of BaRRAxu*.—By w» extract from a
Now Orleans paper tn another column, it will be per-
ccivcd that the invuaioii orMnxieohas terminated as was
anticipated, in complete defeat.
Fork ion Nr w?.—By the arrival of the ship Tally-ho
at Norfolk, Liverpool and London dates to tho 12th of
September, aro received. To tho Herald and Bcacom
wo aro indebted for extracts, which will bo found in our
subsequent columns. By those it appears officially that
the Russians have entered Adrianoplc, the second city
in Turkey, without opposition; ami that tho Sultan has
at last submitted to tho terms of the Treaty of 6th July,
1827. This latter is u at officially communicated but tho
nituation of allairs renders it probable. An article
from Constantinople received in Charleston, by tho way
ofAmsterdam, dated two days subsequent (19th Au
gust,) to tho accounts from the Capital via Liverpool,
states also that commissioners had been appointed to
repair to the Russian head quartern, to ascertain tho
terms of pcaco or a suspension of hostilities. The saino
statement made from Constantinople, tho 16tli August,
in tho French papers was positively denied. The
account from tho French papers, that tho Sultan
had abandoned Constantinople on tho 16th of August,
to 8000 brigands &c. is contradicted in letters from Pa
ris of a subsequent date ; and it is stated in the account
list referred to, that ho wa* in Constantinople on the
tl9th of August, where ho had been coufincd by sick
ness for three days, and was plunged in a profound me
lancholy, in consequence ofthc reverses of his arms.
If tho Sultan has submitted to the Treaty of the 6th of
July, which recognizes the independence of Greece,
and to which Great Britain, France and Russia are par
ties, it remains to be seen, whether, having settled thiir
account with the Porte, the two former will not feel it im
perative upon them to interfere in tho successful quar
rel which Nicholas has pi osccutcd on his own score.
Tho recent appointment of the Duke de Laval, isconsi*
dcred in Uio French opposition papers, to indicato the
close alliance of France with the Cabinets of England
and Austria in reference to tho war in tho East, and
that tho Duke has been transferred from tho latter to the
former to forward tho views ofMcttcrnich and Welling
ton. That these Cabinets, in the presect situation of
their finances, will rashly plunge into measures likely to
lead to a general war, is not likely i but that question
will mainly depend upon tho fulfilment of his professions
and promises on the part of Nicholas. Should he be sa
tisfied with a reasonable indemnity from the Porto, and
the attainment of tho objects he declared to be in view
at setting out, wo see no prospect of any interruption to
tho general peace of Europe—if, however, ho exhibits u
desire to grasp an undue share ofTerritory, or an in
tention permanently to destroy the power of Turkey,
to prevent the dismemberment of tho Turkish Empire,
nogociation failing, the result may bo different on tho
part of the powers said to be united on the question,

the mode most likely to present itself to tho autocrat,
for the preservation of it.

None oftho Commiticcs of the Virginia Convention
have yet made a report. Tho Enquirer thinks it proba
ble, that "tho Bill of Rights will be retained with no, or
very little modification—t! at the Council will bo abolish.,
ed ; and the powers oftho Governor rcdiircd, instead of
being enlarged : that the C ounty Courts v. ill bn recog
nized by the Constitution—the Judged made balds to
rrmouoi for reasons, (wh'ch would-nut subject them to
impeachment,) by a vote of the Legislature ; and the
commissions oftho present Judges vacated;—that tho
number of tho House of Delegates be increased; and
no change tnado in the numbers ami classification of the
Senate. It is probable, that these features nmy obtain
the sanction oftho Convention ; but no man nan under
take to predict such a result with any degree of precision.
They may prevail without a strong struggle in tho main
body—But, as it was in tho Committees, so it may pro-
bably bo in the Convention ; evory inch of tho ground
will bo probably contested, and no important proposition
adopted, without much deliberation and much debate.
We can still less venture to predict tho issue of the great

The show of American Goods at Masonic Unit,New

or woven. Tho cost ofinannfacturing thin article did
not exceed two cents and a half per yard exclusive of the
material. Several packages of shirting manufactured of
8ca Island cotton with n round thread, resembling lin
en in their appearance, attracted a good deni of atten
tion; and leather bronzed with copper. A power loom
ofthc latest improved const ruction was exhibited, and a

Gcoacu Grdt.fl.—As the subject of tho Gold foutuL
in Habersham County in this State, I* one ofimportanco,.
having been pursued successfully to a considerable ex
tent, perhaps the following information will bo (bund of
interest. Tho existence of trenches &c. seems to provo
that the ground on which the Gold is now found, has at
some remote poriodbecn worked (or tho samo purpose.
Indications of a like character have been discovered
»n North Carolina; but whether the search for tho pre
cious metal was relinquished by tho aborigines, from a
failure of tho usual supply, or from what other cause,
wo do not pretend to decide. In some parts of the
New World, the natives no doubt couccalud tho exis
tence of their treasure, from tho fear of tho en
croachments upon their lands, which it invited from tho
Europeans, whoso grand object was the scorch of gold;
but if such were the fact in this instanen tho time is not
so distant, but that some tradition'would have been hand
ed down bearing upon It. There can bo littlo doubt
that gold existed on most oftho streams of the now world
at tho time of its discovery; and in Hispaniola, and
others of tho West India Island*, whero nono is now
known to exist, on the first visit of Columbus, wo know
that it was found in cotiBiderublo quantities, and per
haps, if the search wero uow mado remams of the
samo character as those discovered in this bta'.v ut.<l
North Carolina, if not gold itself, might bo found.
The cxistenco of Iron and Lead Oros, together with
Black Lead, had been discovered some time back in Ha
bersham and tho neighbouring Counties; but, until tlio
arrival ofa genltoman from NorlhCaro1ina,who had mado
it a matter of business there to search for tho precious
metal, it was not suspected that gold was to bo found,
He was induced to believe that it did exist, and so strong
ly was ho impressed with this idea, that ho convinced
his auditors so far as to mako an experiment. It was
successful—upon washing thoeurih, taken from the bed
ofa small stream called “Duke’s Crock,” particles of
gold were discovered—and upon repeating the experi
ment upon a larger scale, it was satisfactorily ascertain
ed that the metal existed in sufficient quantities to re
compense those who would make it their business to
search for it. Tho method of procuring it is very sim
ple ;—the earth is taken from the bed of tho creek to tho
depth of about four feet and thrown into a trough,
through which the stream passes,—it is then raked into
a kind of sieve or wicker work, where it is silled, the
water and smaller particles of the metal passing thro’ the
interstices into a targe box, where tho metal is deposited,
and which is opened every evening to collect what has
been obtained in the course of tho day. Occasionally,
indeed it may bo said frequently, the particles of gold
arc too large to pass thro* tho apertures of tho sitter,—
Tho largest picco yet found, weighed upwiuds of thir
ty-three peuny weights, but it is frequently found in pieces
of from 6 to 13 or 1G. The method, however, which is
iu present use, is very imperfect—much of the dust and
finer particles arc lost by the careless manner of wash
ing ;—tho gold diggers, like mankind in gcnerul, being
more taken up with acquiring riches radinly, by search
ing for tho heavier pieces, than in patiently and carcfiil-
ly collecting tho minor one*, which would ultimately,
with proper management, be much tho most profita
ble. Tim laud on which it is found is generally of
the poorest kind—indeed the tract upon which Powell’s
Mine is situated, and which is by far tho richest yet
discovered, passed thro’ tho hands of two owners, neith
er of whom usked or ruccivcd more than ono dollar for
it. M incs have been discovered and are in operation on
the land of Col Blair, Gen. Cleveland, and others, and
no doubt it will bccomo a general occupation before
long. With what degree of success time must discover.
Ono circumstance connected with this region may be
considered worthy tho enquiry of the antiquary and tho
historian. It is an unquestionable fact, that trenches
have been discovered and other evidences, aro to bo
found in Habersham County, proving, without a sha
dow of doubt, that this is not the first attempt to drag the
precious inctal from its hiding place. Col.W. of Haber
sham, states that his father endeavoured to obtain some
information from the Indians long ago, with regard to tho
time whenthese trenches were dug,but they could throw
no litrht upon the subject, further than that they had ex
isted from (heir earliest recollection.

of London oftho 0th July, 1827, hy a written
declaration which was such tut fully to answer
tho views oftho mediating Powers. In anoth
er declaration, tho Porto declares itself ready
to send Plenipotentiaries to the head quarters
of Couut Dicbitsch to trout of pcaco with
Russia.
Munich, Sept. 3.—Tlio news of tho en
trance of the Russian army into Adrianoplc
at 0 o'clock in the morning of tho 20th, was
made known here through nn Official letter of
Couut Dicbitsch to the Rusian Ambassador
at Vienna,who sent it by express to die Rus
sian Legation in this city. Several private
letters, which have come from Vienna by the
samo opportunity, likewise announce this im
portant event, the truth of which cannot, bo
doubted. On tho 16th of August, Gen. Dic
bitsch had declared his readiness to listen to
tho proposals of peace. The result shows
that ho did not suffer his inarch to be suspen
ded on this account. It does not appear that
General Dicbitsch has any instructions how
to net in ense tlio English should declare
against tlio further advance of the Russian
army. Such a cose could not he foreseen
at St. Petersburg!!, and therefore tho Gener
al of the army marching to Constantinople
will not be able to change his operations
without orders from his Sovereign, on a more
declaration of Mr. Robert Gordon. But be
fore nn answer arrives from St. Petorsburgh
tho Russians may bo before, or in Constanti
nople. It is hardly possible to be further de
ceived by vain hopos respecting tho catas
trophe in tlio East. The question no longer
is, to treat with the vanquished Turks, but
with the victorious Russians, on the terms of
peace. Tlio Cabinets must bo agreed with
each other respecting the future organization
oftho East.
Tho following is tho official letter from Gen
Dicbitsch to M. do Tatischcff, Russian Am
bassador at Vienna, communicating tho in
telligence oftho capture of Adrianoplc ;
“/» the Eski-Sarai, at Adrianople, Aug.

“ DIBBITCH."
Private Correspondence—.Paris, Sept5—
In tho shape of foreign news thorn is little
stirring here, except the confirmation of tin?
taking of Adrianople ; the receipt of accounts
from the Turkish capital, announcing tho de
parture of Commissioners to treat for peace;
and tho adhesion of the Sultan to the treaty
for the independence of Greece.
4 As to the Russian affair, there is no rea
son to doubt its satisfactory termination.—
The French Ministers declare positively that
tho Sultan will yield nil tho conditions required
hy the Emperor, even though they should be
harder than they are known to bo ; and the
great capitalists who are now assembled at
Paris are readvto devise means lor nn ar
rangement of tlio financial difficulties of the
Porte, so far us they regard the discharge of
tho Russian indemnity. 1 know not with
what truth this is staled, but I can see clear
ly that the Ministers, instead of being thrown
into the state of alarm, imputed to they by
some oftho liberal journals, rather appear full
of confidence as to the favourable result oftho
nogocintions for pcaco which have boon com
menced, ns well for tho stability of their reign,
«h for the tranquility of Europe,
qitility of Europe.
‘ The visit of tho Rothschilds is still tlio

From tho McMongcr do. Chambren.
' A very important pioeo of news from tho
theatre of wur, which docB not uppenr to us
improbable, lias just been communicalud to
us in tho following terms:—
“ Gon. Diebiten took possesion of Adrian
ople nn tho 21st August of without havinglind
uny resistance to ovorcomo,&. at tho desire of
tho inhabitants themselves, who Bent a dep
utation to him. The city Imd boon in a com
plete state of anarchy in conscnuoncc of llio
disorders committod hy tlio two motions which
tore it lo pieces. That in favour of poaco
obtained tlio superiority, and tlio Russians
wore roccivod ns deliverers by the majority
of inhabitants.
"Tlio success of- tlio Russians lias boon
every whore facilitated by tho enemies of re
form, and their numerous adherents of tlio
party oftho tlio Janissaries. Tho fanaticism
of tlio obstinate Mussulmans, who consider
tho innovations oftho Sultan as profanations;
becomes an auxiliary to tho Russian arms,
which Gon Diobitscu turns to account with
much doxtority.
“ It was added that tho official news of the
entrance of thp Russians into Trobisond was
every moment expected. In soveral places
the Turks went to meet the Russians, bear
ing a cross ns a sign of poaco and welcome.’
State of Trade—London Sept. 11.—It is
thought rather romnrkablo that tho weekly
average of wheat exhibits an advance of 2>.
over tlio lust return, though tlio markets in
tho interim havo boon very flat, and tlio qunn-
tity of wheat of inferior quality oflcrcil for
sail! must have tended further to lower the
averages. We aro unable to olll-r an expla
nation of this circumstance, but it will not,
wo should think, escape attention in tlio pro
per quarter. If tlio duty on wheat fails next
weak to 16s. 8d.; and of that thore enn now
hardly be n doubt, a considerable quantity of
bonded wheat must bo brought forward ; and
seeing tho abnndanco of tlio eropB nil over tlio
Continent, the importers cannot t'uil to think
themselves fortunuto in being enabled to do
so on such favorable terms.
Wo Imvo hoard it affirmed to-day that tho
total number of tlio late failures iu tne wool
trade amounts to nt least 20, and tlio aggre
gate of their debts to jC1,200,000. So groat
a convulsion in that particular branch of trade
has probably never before occurred. The
Hank of England, it is said, will suffer non-
siilernhly by them; for though tho Directors
here imd been in the habit of rejecting much
of their accommodation paper, their vigilcnce
was not altogether proof against tlio ingenui
ty of somo of tlio pnrtios concerned in its cir
culation. But tlio principal losses of tlio
Bank, it is believed, will havo occurred at tlio
branch banks, whore less caution seems to
have been exercised, and tlio paper to have
passed more freely than it did in town.

during tlio wholo period, is only 248; or loss
than 7 in a year on an average. Tho num
