SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. 14. Tho Philadelphia National Gazette nates that G. D. Wall, Esq. has declined tkeoEco of Governor of Now Jcrsoy, to which he had bren appointed. New-York papers yesterday were of the 4th instant tho last day of the elution. Nothing, of course, can bo atccrtnincd os to tho result; but the strength of the Working Men's, alias the Fanny Wright, a/iai the Infi. del Ticket, (for by nil these names it is designated,) appears to bo the subjdet of surprise and alarm, among all the other parties. The Courier, the Evening Postt tho Mercantile Advertiser, the Journal of Commerce, and tho Gazette, tho two latter professedly exclusively commercial papers, unite in the expression ofupprchcm sion of tho success of this ticket, and every friend of order and good government is called upon to stay the “turbulent nnd polluted torrent.” In reference to tho City Charter, tho utmost apathy is said to prevail. In tho Sixth Ward, tho Working Men’s Ticket receives doublo the number of any other, anil in tho Fifth Ward the excitement is so high that an extra number of police ofliccrs have been ordered on duty in it. The liichimmd Enquirer of Saturday lost, snys— ‘‘It is two weeks sinco tho Debate was opened on the llasis of Representation. It is not closed, and no de finitive question has yet been taken, either on the House of Delegates or ou the Senate. Wo cannot yet pretend to foresee th* duration or tho issue of the Discussion.- Wo suspect that there is many an arrow to be drawn from tho quiver, before the Convention comes to tho question. Hut let the question be taken when it may, we understand that the vote will be very close, Itoth as it relates to the House of Delegates and as to the Senate.” The Baltimore Republican states that tlio object of Mr. Barry's visit to Philadelphia was to entrust to the caro of Dr. Physic one of his children, who has bcon afilictcd with sickness, and tho cause of his journey to West Point, a with to visit a son who is now located at that place. The Season.—An unusual visitor in this region, shot the other day, on Whitemarsh Islnnd, about IS miles from this city, is, wcurc afraid, the harbinger 01 cold. We arc inclined to think, that it is the wild Swan* very common in tho Chesapeake, and generally known among the Zoologists by the name of .sinus Cygnut.— This bird, which has been presented to us, measures nearly nvo feet in length, and about seven and an half from tho tip of one wing to the end of the other, When ever tho weather threatens to bo uncommonly sovere, i t loaves tho arctic regions, where it breeds, for a milder climato, though occasionally somo of them arc found hybumating in tho Orkneys, tho Hebrides, and other places less to tho north. Their ficah is esteemed as de licious food, and tho natives oflho northern hemisphere dross their skins with tho down upon them. Their dy ing note, so much celebrated in tiio olden time, is not quite so musical however, as is represented in the tables of the ancients; tho voice being extremely shrill, but said to bo not unlike tho sound of a Clarionet, when Unu.-n hv ana who know very little about ulaying.it. Indian Afkaiiu.—On tho 31st ult. the Chcrokees passed a law divesting any emigrant to tho Arkansas, of all tho rights arul privileges that ho may have previ ously enjoyed. Likewise, all those disposing of im provements to the enrolled, arc rendered ineligible to a- nyoffice of honor trust or profit; and, in addition, they arc made liable, not only to a fine of $2000, but to the infliction of 100 lashes. Further, in order to prevent persons from evading these penalties, every ven dor and purchaser is required to file an affidavit that the property was not sold for tho purpose of having it valued by United Stitos Cammisdoners, and that they did not act os agents for those who were removing from tho nation, under the pain of $2C0fir.e. Two other sections place all emigrants upon tho footing of intruders; and direct tho Principal Chief to arrest every one who con tinues in the country morn than 15 days, and to deliver him over to the Cherokee Agent, or otherwiso to expel or punish him as ho and his executive Counsellors may please. James Pettit was arraigned before both branches of |t:h General Council, lor bigamy and mistreatment of Ins Chcrokco wife, Elizabeth Pettit—He was fined $500, and his plantation forfeited agreeably to law for the benefit of Elizabeth Pettit and her child. EDiToniai. TinuuApplication was made to iho Chancellor at Now-York, a short time sinco, by ono ot the parties interested in tho newspaper establishment called “Tho Morning Herald," for an injunction against tho other claimants, in order to prevent tho collection of debts, and Iho appropriation of monies to the persons now in possession. Tho different parties were required to answer to tho motion, nud on tho 2d instant, wo learn from the Journal of Commerce, it was argued. On tho 3d, tho Chancellor decided, that in order to protect the rights of nil concerned, it became bis duty to appoint a “ Receiver” to tukc in charge the effects oflho cslub. lislitncnt, who should he directed, within n given time to disposo of it on the hcsl terms; ami if unsuccessful in tho endeavor to dispose of it at private sulc, that it should bu offered at public auction. It will bo recollected that an order was received some time sinco from the Navy Department, for fitting out tho frigate Brandywine, to proceed, as was understood, to the Western Island^ for tho protection of American commerce, and that this order was subsequently coun termanded. The Journal of Commerce states, that the reason of the countermand was tho insufficiency of the appropriation at tho lost session of Congress to meet tho expense. Tho New-Orlcans Beo states that (Jen. La Garza had been arrested, and was on his way to Mexico, ac companied by a strong guard. Ho is called to give ex planations on bis equivocal conduct at the attack of tho Bor at Tampico by the Spaniards, where with a supe rior force under his command ho did not resist the cmy. Ho is ulso charged with having occasioned the failure of Santa Anna’s attack on Tumpico, by huving abandoned Altunira, and neglected to hurass Barradas in his retreat. Tho Legislature of Rhode Island adjourned on the 31st lilt, after a session of four days and a half. The consideration oflho petitiou of the people of Providence for a city charter, has boon postponed by tho Hcualn to January next, afler tho lower hotisa hud passed a bill granting tho prayer of tho petitioners.

To incorporate tho President and Directors of tho Georgia Central Rail Road Com pany with banking privileges. I have obtained from a friend somo information respecting this project, which ho received from a Mr. Miller, now bore, an Engineer f om Maryland, who has recently gone over tho propos ed routo, viz: from Augusta to Columbus, through Mil- ledgovillo and Macon. Tho capital necessary cstirna. • -'.nnnnftA ha ..furnished io Baltimore, providing our citizens do not with to engego in it, though tho proprietors do not object to their so doing, or that tho Stato may take an interest not exceed ing one-third.

To divorco Ilamutal McCulIutn and Joseph McCullum. To niter tho name of Gainesville, Hall Co. (named seven years sinco nllcr Gen. Gaines,) to Lyman,in honor of Gov. Lyman Hull, of'Iho Revolution. Mr. Halos, from that county, mo ved that tho bill lio over for tho bulaneo of tlm session, This produced a short debate, evincing in somo degree that tho otd feelings of pnrty wore not dead, but only sleeping. Mr. B. withdrew his motion. If tho bill not withdrawn, thcro will bo an outbreak. For tho bill taking its regular course, Messrs. Hutchings, Hudson, Dougherty. Against it, Messrs. Bates, Wofiord, Hep- turn. A petition was received to form a now county from Cut up bell, Coweta, and Troup. A resolution was passed calling upon tho Governor to Worm tho House ns to tho 4 distribution of tho I’oor School Fund sinco 1827. Mr. Dougherty offered a resolution, which was ngreed to, and concurred in by tho Senato next day, to author ize tho Governor to appoint ono or more Commissioners to proceed to tho Cherokee nation, to inquire into, and collect testimony of Indians and others, respecting the boundary lino between tho Cherokccs and Creeks.— Mr. D. stated that thcro was aU. Stoles agent engaged in tho same pursuit, and that thcro wero loiters in town mentioning that a number of Chcrokees were assent- bliiig preparatory to removing to Arkansus about the 20th, who possess important knowledge of snid line, and who would much muro likely communicate disinterested information than thoso occupying tho soil.

Tho first meeting of tho Sonatus Acadomicus took placo yesterday. There was a full attendance of Saia- tnrs; and of tho Trustees, tho following were presc.it: W. H. Crawford, G. R. Gilmer, G. R. Clayton,O.H. Prince, J. Camak, Edward Paine, Asbury Hull, J* Whitehead, Tli. W. Cobb, Abram Walker. The election of the Rev. A. Church, as President of Franklin College, by the Trustees, was unanimously confirmed by the Senatus Acadomicus. A committeo accordingly waited on that gentleman, who, after taking the prescribed oath, administered by Governor Gihuer, took his seat on tho left of the latter. Mr. Church is a gentleman of highly interesting appearance, possessing much dignity and a very prepossessing countenance. Tho only business transacted besides, was reading tho annual report of tho Trustees, and somo of the reports of Counties, when they adjourned until this afternoon. In turning a carriage round on ono of tho wharves a ( Now-York, on the 4th inst. the horses backed off tho wharf, and the carriage, horses, driver and passengers, were all thrown into tho river, In tho carringo were Mr. and Mrs. Milligan, a child and servant, of whom Mrs. M. wus drowned—tho others wero saved. The carriago sunk, and the burses with it. Mr. Milligan is tho brother of Mrs. Louis MeLnuo, of Delaware.— Mrs. Millig oi was the daughter of Mr. Urquliart, of Now-Orleuns. Tho editors of tho liultiiiiuro American havo received the Havana iVoticioro of the 17th ult. It contains no nows, and no notice whatever of the recent Spanish in vading expedition. According to tho verbal accounts, it appears that the papers were not permitted to publish ntiv thine rclatire to tho expedition; and it is added, that a person was thrown into the public prison at Ha vana, for having spoken lightly of it. The U. S. Frigato Congress wus towed by the Steam bout Petersburg, on tho 29ih ult. from her mooritigs at tho Navy Yard, Washington, and has arrived ct Nor- iblk, where she will remain until the public serviiu may render it necessary for her to be fitted out.

Sam Patch has announced to tho citizens of Roches ter his intention to jump oil'the Falls of the Genesee in that village ICO feet. Tho Augusta Chrouicto pays the following warm hut deserved compliment to tho Inaugurul address of Go vernor Giihf.r !«— Mr. Gilmer's Inaugural Address is exactly what we expected, nnd all thnt our most sanguine hones could havo desired. It is highly characteristic of his high- minded firmness and independence, and augurs well for tho future peace and diguuy and prosperity of the state. Lot him persevere in the ndmirnhlo cmitse he ha* laid down for himself, which wo aro confident ha will do, aud ho will be, as we have before said, tho most popular and able nnd useful Governor that Georgia ever had.— IIo has opened a new nud beautiful prospect to tho best hopes nnd energies oft ho stnto; nnd God speed him in his patriotic efforts, will bo tho prayer of every good ci tizen. A now regulation has boon adopted in tho Treasury Department, by which tlio Treasur er's receipts far patent money arc to bo reg istered in tho office ofthe Remoter, and to ho conntorsignod by him, anil at tho end of tlio quarter ha is to furnish to tlio account ing officers a list of tho number registered during tlio quarter. Tho Secretary of Stato has al so bcon requested to ciuisu a quarterly list to bo fltrntalicd ofthe receipts presented at tlio Patent Office. A comparison of thoso with the Rnnk returns must prevent tho possibly ofmistnko. In nil ensos of disbursements, there is now lmt. one uniform mode sinco tile first, of June last, by which tho banks are authorized to pay out the public money, viz: upon tho or der of tlio Treasurer, inserted at the foot of the warrant of tho Secretary of tho Treasury, signed by tho Secretary, countersigned by the Comptroller, and authenticated by the signa ture ofthe Register. So that now four O/fi rm of the Government, instead of one, (tlio Treasurer) as was formerly tho case, must place their aignaturea to tue paper author izing the disbursement before it cun be made. Under these safe guards, it is impossible that there can bo any misapplication orembezzlo- mont oftho public money from the Treasury. Iffrauds are committed, they must take placo after tho money ia tako out oftho Treasury oml placed in the hands of Agents, &c. YVo learn Author from tho Richmond En- ? purer, by which wo are furnished with tlio oregoing, “ In tlio general, that things are going on well at YVashington—and that Re forms aro taking place in the administration of tho monied concerns of Government. It is said, that somo unpleasant devclopoments are making of tho transactions of somo oftho former officers—and that a few of tho dismis sed Collectors, tukon together, aro supposed to bo nuuut (Vein 100,00(1 to 150,000 dollars, Ate. It is suspected that tlio monied transac tions ofthe Government had become extromo- ly rotten—and, its believed, that tho spirit of Gen. Jackson, infused into thopublicdepart- monts, will render ponnomont services to tho country, by driving away tho defaulters, and introducing a more rigid system of accounta bility. ' Tboubpbs in Colombia.—The schooner Thaddeus, Capt. Dayton, in 35 days from Carthogona, arrived at Now York on tho 3d inst., bringing Carthagena papers to tho flth October, inclusive. Tho Now York Post says that somo considerable political distur bances had taken placo in Colombia; and Capt. Dayton reports that Carthagena was in a state ofgrcnt confusion nnd uproar when ho sailed. The occasion of this was tho nows of the insurrection which Gen. Cordova had excited ill Autioquia, tho capital of Cmica, and the intelligence of which hud just arrived from Bogota. A handbill published at Cnr- thamma on tlio 5th October, announcing this intelligence, says that tho Secretary of war anticipates from this evont no other conso- quenccs than tho evils which the temerity of its author will bring upon tlio province wliioh has been tho theatre of this insurrection— The same paper affirms that Cordova’s party in Aiitioquia, consisted of only about forty or fifty persons, that ho had been joined by no man of influence, ricitcs or note, and that no alarm was felt at Bogota on account ot what had taken place. Prom another paper of the flth it appears, that an attempt had boon mado by Col. Fran- eisoo Urdanota, at tho order oftho War Do- partment, to arrest Gen. Cordova, his brother, Salvador Cordova, and his brother in law, the Governor of tlio province, the throe principal leaders of tho rebellion. Urdanota without a single soldier nnd without any other,means than his own activity, had collected a purty for the purpose of making tho arrest, but hin plan being discovered by Cordova, ho found liimsolf obliged to liastcn its execution. Ho sent twenty men with an officer to Rio Negro to seizo Cordova, hut tho latter was ou his guard nnd tho plan wiib frustrated. Cordova then marched upon Medellin, and Urdanota came out to meet him, but tlio principal men ofthe neighborhood and tho civil authorities interfered between the combatants and pre vented an engagement. Cordova agreed to guarantee tho lives and property ofthose who had opposed him, nnd Urdaneta found himself obliged to leavo the province. Ho reported that on his way through the province ho found the people ev.ery where friendly to tire Libera tor. Gen. Cordova had with him his veterans, his aid-de-camps, and his brother- He hud collected a few militia of Rio Negro, nnd al though these did not cxcoed 43 in number, they were enough to prevent any attempt of tiie unarmed inhabitants against him. lie had sent a detachment oflO men to occupy Naro, a point on tho Magdalena, whore a rtv- or of that name empties into it, and whore Urdaneta had stationed himself in nrdcr to disperse them on their arrival. Urdaneta, in a despatch to tlio Secretary of War, states that Cordova hud sent his proclamations to divers persons in Cauca, and others to Bogo ta, that however his party in Antioquia coil, stated only of a few young molt ofRio Negro, that the inliubitants of that place had sent to him beseeching his return, ami thnt with 300 molt he would restore tlio province to tran quility. Tlio precise date ofthose events does not appeur from any paper wo hnvo received.— The despatch, however of Urdaneta from Naro, sent soon after they hud taken place, was dated tlio 31st of September. Ou tiie 3flth of September tlio government of Col ombia ordered a column of 700 vcteraiiB to march, umlor tho command of Gen. Olenrv, against Cordova. On tho same day despatch es were received from tlio commandant gen. oral in tlio dopnrtment of Cauca announcing the fttonsuiea no tiad talten to prevent the spread of the insurrection. Tho accounts ofthe inaurreellou given in tlio Carthagena papers doubtless represent it i;i tho must favorable light for tiie existing government, but tlio tone of alarm ta uvidout throughout, and .tho disturbances are probab ly of a more serious nature than these jour nalists nro willing to nllow. TlioCnrthn'goiia Gazette says of it: “ Y\ r e shall shortly have further nows. God knows what will hn the end of this farce which may yet ho tragedy. At this very date two Columns are proceeding by different directions to restore the tranquil ity which has been destroyed by the caprice or tho folly of a ruffian.” Tho following extract from Rogotn, is of a date anterior to the news of Cordova's rebel lion.
