TUESDAY MORNING, NOV^JH-^ Commodore Riouu.v, and family, arrived in this ciiy on Sunday evening, from Pensacola, having travelled over land from St. Marks, for tho benefit ol Mrs. ll’a. health. Tho Commodore is on his way to Waahington. Tlic President of tho United Slatca has oflicially ro- rognUod Thomas Jostrit Bijosaro, as Vice Consul of his Holiness, tho Pope, for tho city of Baltimore. Wo learn from llsc Augusta Chronicle, that the Sa vannah River rote about two feet on Friday, and that freights wero taken at $1 So per bole, In Cotton fair to good qualltes, have declined l*t)c. and inferior some thing more. Prim© will still command 8 3-4c. and 9c. in square bales ; quotations range from 8 to 9. The same paper states, that tho Inferior Court op Richmond county convened in the City Hall on Friday, lor tho trial of several negroes, for Arson—present their Honors V. Walkor, A. Rhodes, and II. M»Tyro. Vor- diets of Guilty wero found against a negro woman, Cin- da* belonging to Mrs. Lubbock, and a young negro girl Jinncy, belonging to Mrs. Jones, and a verdict of -Xot Guilty in favor of Mr. L. Roll's negro man Reuben.—4 Tho Court adjourned to Saturday, to hear tho trial of Mr. Parsons’ negro Lewis, and pass sentence on Cinda and Jinncy. The Justices of tho Inferior Court of Richmond county have made arrangements for tho erection of a building for th« old and infirm poor, and indigent orphan children ofthat county. It is to be finished by the firs, of January next, and will be situated on the Louisville Road, seven miles from tl 0 city. Letters from Mr. M‘Lank, to the latest dates frmn London, have been received at Wilmington, by his fami ly. Ho had not been ill, excepting from sca-sickncss on his voyage out. The Evening Post states that the seiiurc ofthe pro. petty of Mr. Arnold, (Collector at Perth Amboy,) has been mado on a warrant of distress issued from tho Treasury of tho United States- It was issued not be cause there was an unsettled question on some “unad justed accounts,” but on the ground that Mr. Arnold had not rendered true accounts, and that ho had omitted to charge himself with tho actual amount of the receipts of his custom house. Viroinia Conventon.—It would appear that the question of white population alono, or population and taxation combined, for tho House of Delegates of Virginiu, has been de cided in the Convention by a very close vote, there being a majority of two only in favour of tho first of these propositions. Tho final strugglo is yet to come, in the debate on the Constitution of the Senate. Mr. Randolph distinguished himself greatly by a speech in opposition to tho basis of white population alone, Mexico.— 1 The Vera Cruz Censor of the Oth ult. contrins a memorial of the Congress of Pueblo, in which the President is requested to put his Cabinet in order, dismiss two of his ministers and give Mr. Poinsett his pass ports, in order that this gentleman may leave tho Ropublio at onno. Tho memorial wm to be Bent ns a circular to the Legislatures ot all tho several states. Tho Governor of Pennsylvania has trans mitted to the Legislature n report of tho Cunal Commissioners, showing tho amount duo on tho several lines of Canal, on tho ‘doth of October last, and an cstitnato of tho addi tional amount that will probably bo wanting to meet tho 'demands on said lines to the se- c jnd day of January next, The total aggregate amount now due and which will probably be wanted to moot the Engagements of tho State up to the 2d day of January, lStfO, is one million three hundred and forty-two thousand sixty-five dollars and forty-six cents. Texas.—Governor Pope of Arkansas,trans- mittud his Message to the legislature on the 13th ult. Of tho acquisition of Tcxus,ho makes tho following remarks:— “ With regard to our frontier on Texas, it may not bo amiss to remark that a hope is indulged that it will be purchased by our go vernment. From a superficial view of the subject, it seems to mo that tho Mexicun go vernment can have no strong objection to sell, and that it would bo wise and prudent to be come the owners. Wo have every reason tooxpeetthat tho present Chief Mttgis!rate ofthe nation will not only avail himself of every opportunity to advance the groat inter ests of the nation, but that nothing will bo wanting on his part to add to the strength, security, and prosperity of tho Western Country. Tho acquisition of this province will ensure to us peace and safety on our south-western and western borders.” By a statement published in the Now York Shipping and Commercial List oft ho 14th inst. tho total amount of tho Cotton crops for the past year, is estimated at 870,415 bales—be ing an increase, compurcd with lust year, of 142,822 bales Total crop of 1924-3 509,250 bales Do. do. 1825-0 720,027 do Do. do. 1820-7 057,281 do Do. do. 1827-8 720,503 do Do. do. 1828-9 870,415 do Consumption.—To estimate the quantity manufactured in tho United States, wo take the Total Crop for the year past 870,415 bales Deduct therefrom— Tho export to For eign Ports, 719,000 Stocks on hand in tho Southern Ports, 10,502 705,502 And assnmo that, that the quail- tity in tho Northern Porls was the same as last year, it results that the consumption was 10*1,650 Estimated consumption for 1827-8 120,593 Do. do. for 1820-7 103,483 Nole.—The.quantity on hand in the Nor thern ports at the close of lust year is believ ed to have been much greater than the pre sent. In is probable, thcrofuro, that tho actual manufacture has varied but little. Tho demand for Cotton in this market con tinues good, and the sales of the week are estimated at over 3,000 hales, chiefly Uplands, at 8^ to 103 cants. There has been a fair demand both for homo manufucturo as well as export; and our stock is low—very little of tho old crop in market. rniVATfl CORRESPONDENCE. TO TUB RDITOM Ot TUE OEOROlAN. Millcdgeville, Friday, Nov. 20. Since my taxi, the following has been done in Senate: A bill wu rcporieil to give younger Judginont creditor! a preference to monlus robed on the aalo of defendant’* property, in certain cases therein specified. The Joint Judiciary CommUteo were instructed to in quire into die propriety of so altering the laws regula ting Ju*tic«« ofthe Peace, a* to have but one hi each Captain’s District, and lo allow thorn aalariea inaicadof fee*. Tho bill to repeal the act reserving to the State all valuable ore*, mineral*, &c. was pawed Yen*, 62- Nay*, 18. The bill to rcgulale and open a road Tram Fort Barrington Ferry to Bulltown Settlement, M‘In- tonh county, was ordered to lie on the tublo until called up. A bill wan reported by the Penitentiary Committro fur changing tho mode of punishing convicts—nl*o, for adding to and amending the Penitentiary buildings, fcc. Mr. Habersham reported instantcr, a bill to incorporate Solomon** Lodge, No. 1, of Ancient York Mason*.— Mr. II. wa* added to tho Committee on Agriculture and Internal Iinprovenicnt. A hill has been introduced by Mr. Habersham, and been twico road, to prevent the coming in and admission of persons of color, acting ns seamen or stewards, or acting in any other employment in merchant vessels, coming into the sea ports of this Slate—Also, read a second time, a bill to dispose of uit- appro|irinted and nngranted lands in Chatham county. This bill provides for tho survey of lands, Trustees of the Chatham Academy to sctcci 6C00 acres for its use. Commissioners hereafter to he appointed to suit and dis pose of tho hnlnncc. The money from tho sales to be vested in Bank Stock, or bonds and mortgage, and to distribute tho satno among the Suvannah Free School, Union Society, ami —. Lands having been in possession of persons more than seven years to ho val ued.—Also, read tho sccfqnd time, a bill declaring valid all sales matte by Sheriffs or Coroner* oflands or negroes under executions which have issued from Justice’s Courts, nnd to regulate the admission of evidence in all cases whore the property held or claimed under such sales may como in question, or be tried. A bill to inoorpormto tho Columbus Insurance and Banking Company, was read tho first time. Mr. Habersham Introduced a bill to authorise tho ap pointment of Commissioners out ofthis State to take ac knowledgment of deeds, &c. under soal. The resolution from tho House respecting tho planta tions and improvements in the unlocatcd territory was concurred in. A bill is before the Senate, providing for a convention, a copy of which I send you. Yesterday, Mr. Habersham reported inalantcr, a bill to amend the Laws ofthis State for the trial and pun ishment of slave* and free persons of color. Thu Judi- clary Committee were directed to report on tho expedi ency of prohibiting tho employment of slaves or free persons ofcolnr in setting Types in Printing Offices— Tho bill authorising Justices oflnferior Courts to incor- porafe Churches and Academics, was negatived. The biff to dispose ofthe ungranted lands in Chatham county, was ordered to lie on tho table. But littlo was done this morning, in consequence of the elections coming on at 11 o’clock. The Reports from tho Bank Committee on the state ments of tho different Banks, excepting the Centra) Bank, were received and agreed to. They are all fa vorable, and I am told the Marine and Firo Insurance Bank receives a high compliment. Tho Judiciary Committre, to whom was referred that part ortho Governor’s Message respecting the abduc tion of Howland Stophcnson, hnvo declared it improper to express any opinion on the subject, an tho matter before a legal tribunal, &c. It has also reported again> t the project of making Judges of Superior Courts elec tive by tho people oftheir Circuits—Also again*! inert-us ing Magistrate's jurisdiction, in cases of sttsolfi For the greater part of tho three last days, the House of Representatives has been occupied by tho “Hoad Bill,” which to the State at largo is decidedly the most important measure yet introduced, nnd lias called forth all the talent in this branch. I sunt you by hist mail copy ofthe hill introduced, and mentioned, I think, the Biibstunco of Judge Shorter’s substitute for tho third section, immediately upon the adoption of which the House adjourned. Much interest and some fouling lias been excited during tho discussion. In the progress of tho hill,after putting the “River System” to a violent and sudden dunlh, tho only part or tho hill that was at oil calculated (though in a remote degree) to render amends or benefit to tho Eastern, South Eastern and Western counties was strickon out at ono swoop, and substitute adopted, centering tho whole benefit to bo derived from the application of tho hands belonging to the State to ono point, notwithstanding too and in the very fuco ofthe thousand protestations sent forth by the principal advocates of tho ” Road System” against “ sectional feelings,” and in behalf or tho “ gcuerul good.” This is the third section as adopted Thut 40 hands he put on tho Bond from Augusta to Gainesville. The remainder on tho road from Augusta to Warren ton, then to bu divided, and half to work on the road from Warren ton to M’Donough, the other half on the road from Wiirrunton to Macon. After the road from Gainesvi lo to Augusta is completed, tho hands to lie put u\\ the road from Powehon to Covington by (irurmdioro’ and Madison. Yeas, 81—Nays, 40. How it received such a vote, I know not, unless it was to hnstcu its entrance into tho Senate, whero its late was certain, or ton final vote in the House, where it was at luast doubtful. However, the House assembled next dny with nil evident disposition to coueedo consi derable to those sections of tho State thrown out by the ruse of the previous day, occasioned by the interchange of opinion in tho interval, and tho prompt measures tn- ken by our low country members in conuoxion with thoso or tliuWust, to give it a quietus in Senato if it got so fur. On Wednesday, the vote, on motion to rc-considor the obnoxious section, wns Nays, 64—Yeas, 62. After cntMi lerahto time spent in giving it shn]tc and fixing the appropriation which was first inserted 840,000, tho fol lowing was (in suhstanco) adopted as tho 4th section °f lb« hillThat an appropriation ho made of 525,000, (including the $20,000 heretofore appropriated for the improvement ofthe Savannah river nbovo Augusta) for tho purchase of nhic-hodiud hands, to bo placed, one halt on the road from Savannah to Macon via Dublin and Marion, ono fourth on tho road from Mucon to Co lumbus via Forsyth, tho rent on tho road from Colttm- bus to Lnwrenccvillc, CJwiimclt county, under one Kupcrintcndiint and threo overseers.

British Colonies.—It is stated in BlarV.. wood’s Magazine, that the Duke of Welling, ton is to bring forward a measure at the next session of Parliament, the object of which will bo to relieve tho crown from all ex pense in tho government of the Colonies.- The writer fears the experiment. lie thinks such a measure will weaken the Empire, and that the Colonies, if compelled to support themselves, will set up for themselves.— When the Romun Empire began to decline, the Romun Colonies wero ono by ono aban doned ; so, ho thinks, it will bo with Grca* Britain. There will then lie “ no more float- ing castles—no more thunder on thu deep- no more AgincourJs, nor.Poietiorses, nor Crossics, nor Blenheims, nor Wuterloos!” COMMUNICATED.
