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, If really desirous of peace, an armistice and thosuh. mission of the question to a general Congress will b® the mode most likely to present itself to tho autocrat, for the preservation of it. The successful result of the harvest,and ita abundance, with tho depressivo ofTcct produced thereby on bread stuffs, iaconfirmed by this arrival, and the prices con tinued to decline. 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 quest ions of the basii of Representation and the right of suffrage.” The general election tool; place in Pennsylvania on the 13th instant. The vote fi r Governor, in the city of Philadelphia was, for Wolfe (administration candidate) 4350; Ritner 322 The federalists carried a very large majority of the city council, nndthnsamo ticket with tho exception of a single member wan elected to the as sembly. In tho counties heard from tho proportion in favor of Mr. Wolfu is about the satuo us in the city. The show of American Goods at Masonic Unit,New York, recently is said in tho papers of that city, to have been most splendid. Among others a new kind of wool len cloth was exhibited, stamped witWiguroi of various colors, manufactured like felt without being either spun 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 miniature steam wagon was running backwards and for wards In thp hall with great velocity. A lingular occurrence is related in I lie Troy, (N. Y.) . papers. A druggist had a number of globe shew bottle 54 in his wirylow, filled wit); various colored liquids. He Nil obliged to keep out tho bright light of the sun on ac Count of diseased eyes. Before both his ‘windows were •Impended rush window curtains—both of which have been set on fire in a number of places by the concentra ted rays of the sun, through several bottles. This no tice may be useful to others. ErtcouiunEKrNTTo Artist*.—For u single ono ofihe illustrations which aro to adorn tho London Amulet for 1890, the engraver was paid the enormous sum of 180 guineas. It is from a drawing by Martin, and exceutod by the burin of Le Keux. An ineffectual attempt was mado to rob lim Bank at Wtterville, Mo. on the night of Hd init. Tho rubbers afterwards broke lqto the store qf Mr. Wm. Gilman, where they took 40 or 50 dollars, some notes, &c. 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.

Haines, is ready for publication at Now York, It is characterized by tho Evening Post, us nn interesting, though harty sketch, from materials furnished by Mr. Emmet himself, while himself and tho author were room-mates, nt Washington, in the winter of IBM.

Vienna, Aug. 31.—A courier, who left Constantinople on the 17th arrived this morn ing ut tho hotel of tho French legation with the nows that the Porto, alter a proceeding -hvhir’tti'm had been judged unsat isfactory, hand now .signified its accession to the treaty 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. 8, (20.)—* M. Vambussadeur.—“ I have the pleosuro to announce to you, that the victori ous troops of his Majesty the Emperor miter: cd Adrianoplc this morning at nine o'clock without opposition. The Mahometan popula- tion remains entirely under our protection.— Accept, &c. (Signed) “ 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 lending topic of discussion on our Exchange. No ono knows exactly to what to attribute it, but. every body allows it to bo connected with some object of importance. They are made much of by the great men now at tlio head of affairs, and an iiMiear delighted at the turn which things htflfc taken.

' 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.

"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. 1811,71; from 1811 to 1821,06; from 1821 to 1826, 21; from 1820 to Oct. 1, 1829,0; showing a constant decrease, from the origin oftho fund to tho present time.

Dr. Franklin's Lv.oaoius.—It ia well known to our readers that the celebrated Dr. Franklin bequeathed to the towns of Boston ami Philadelphia, £1000 each, to be loaned in sums not exceeding £60, to young married artificers under the ago of25, who could pro duce evidence of good moral character, and § ivo two respectable sureties in a bond with lemselves, for tho repayment of tho money in ten annual instalments, together with nn annual intorcst of five per cent. Calculating on this boms, viz. compound interest without lossis or waste of time, lie inferred that 44 if no unfortunate accident should prevent the operation,” each Fund would amount in one hundred years from ita commencement, to £131,000. He accordingly directed that at tho end of this period, £100,000 should bo drawn from cnch, and applied to tho benefit oftho rcspoctivo cities; I he remainder to bo loaned on interest os before for unothcr hun dred years, when .it would amount, in both cases, to tho enormous sum of £4,061,000, (or $18,030,8404) 44 Of which” he says, speaking of tho Boston legacy. 44 1 leave ono million aixty ono thousand pounds to tho dis- position oftho government of tho State, not presuming to curry my views any farther.”— And tho same in tho case oftho Philadelphia legacy.
