ed to havo died of tho uisenso in tho French
capital alone. Although the violonco of tho
epidemic has somowhnt abated, the numbers
attacked still conlinuo very largo ; and no
thing like unanimity of opinion as to tho most
efficiont method of treatment has yot beon
established. In addition to tho former

tion, in proportion as State institutions aro
taxed. The question Was divided, at tho re
quest or Mr. Holmes. Tho discussion con
tinued till the hour of adjournment, without
any decision therein.
In tho House ofRepsescnfativcs, Mr. Pen
dleton nfsentod a petition from sundry citi-
zons of Now York ifi behalf of the missiona
ries confined in tho penitentiary in Georgia.
Mr. P. said tli^t it was his intention to
submit to tho IIouso tWo propositions on the
subject. Tho first ono was, that when* vor
tho Supremo Court should declare tho judg
ment of an inferior court to be erroneous,
and that any party confined on the judgment
of that court, so declared to bo erroneous,
and who should not bo set at liberty—any
Justice of tho Supreme Court, should bo au
thorised to issue a Habeas Corpus, to have
tho po son brought before such Justice, for
immediate discharge. Ilis second proposi
tion was, that so much of tho Judiciary act
as made it necessary that tho judgment of
tho Supremo Court should bo returned to tho
courts below for thorn to render execution
thereon, should bo repealed; and that tho
Supreme Court should, in all future cases,
ho authorised at onco to execute its own
judgments.
Tho question embraced by these proposi-
tions.Mr. P. said would at once decide wheth
er tho law of tlio land, as adjudged by the
highest court known to tho Constitution,was
to form tho future rule of action for the coun
try or not f Whether two powers were to
exist in tho country in rfollision one wilh the
other—and whether their decisions wero to
bn settled hy the solemn decision of law, or
by nn nppe'il to war]
Mr. P. thon proceeded, with a view to call
tho attention oftho House to a proper under
standing on tho subject, to rend n variety of
extracts from the opinions of the framers of
tho Constitution, &c. ns to tho power ivnv
claimed of inherent right ill tho States to
mako enmpnots and to annul them, and to
advocate the propriety ot his resolution—
when ho was interrupted by
Mr. Thompson, of Georgia, who rose to
order, and to inquire whether it was not ne
cessary that this resolution should lie on tho
table one day before it could bo debated 1
The Chair decided that Mr. P. was not in
order by tho 45th Rule ; but that it was not
usual to enforce tho rule, unless on the mo
tion of aomo member.
Mr. Bull suggested to the gentlemen of
Georgia the propriety of withdrawing his ob
jection to tho discussion, that the g ntlenmti
might go on now and thus an opportunity giv
en for replying on Mrndajr next.
After a desultory conversation, Mr. Thomp
son withdrew his objection, but it was imme
diately renewed by
Mr. B 'tos, of Maine, \y)icn Mr. P. moved
to suspend tho rule, to dnablo him to pro
ceed ; but his motion was I negatived by yeas
and nays—ayes 5ft, nous not counted.
The further proceeding stands postponed
until Monday next.

Mr. E. Whittlesey called for tho reading
oftho resolutions, that tho House might un
derstand for what it wus called nn to suspend
tho rule; and they wore road as follows :

guage of his, some oftho late nets of violonco

And whether language has been used by him,

its enquiring into an assault upou oac of its
members.
Resolved, That the said committee further

and extent of this conspiracy, and) from the
characters who may be found implicated
therein, citherns principals or accessaries, a

of tho People, but, also, to imppde tho pro

Resolved, That, to enable said com*
mittco to execute tho duties assigned by the
foregoing resolves, power is hereby given
them to send for persons and papers.

MONDAY EVENING, 5 O'CLOCK*
AWFUL EFFECTS RESULTING FROM THE
RIOTOUS CONDUCT OF THE MOB-FOLU
MEN SHOT-SEVERAL WOUNDEO.
With tho most painful feel ngs wo-have to
state that from tho riotous connect manifest
ed hy tho lower ordor of the Cunadiaus and
Irish partizans on Saturday, the Poll was ad
journed to this day, when the Magistracy and
a largo body oftho Constables vory properly
attended. Wo hnvo been informed that
throughout tho day tho most evident symp
toms of increasing insubordination and desire
for riot was manifested, more especially when
any of thdso persons favorable to Mr. Bngg
presented themselves. Towards evening tho
Constables wero beaten from their posts, and
many of them most scandalously ill-treated.
It was at length found necessary to ordor out
tho Military, who promptly attended, under
tho command of Colonel Macintosh.
Tho Riot Act wus then read. On our ar
rival at tho French square, we fould a largo
number of persons collect!*!, and every now
nnd then some person or oilier assaulted and
knocked down by tho " bullies” in attend
ance. On tlio poll closing for tho day, anoth
er indiscriminate attack was rnado on tlio
Constables—and also, as wo have boon in
formed, upon Mr. Bag® himself—^who, if we
aro correct, wits shamefully mis used, as well
ns several others whom tve observed cut and
mangled very much. At length the Military
were called on to disperse the mob—who
were soon approaching towards the placo
where they wero held in readiness, shouting
and bellowing in the most infuriated manner.
On tho approach of the Military the mob fled
down St. Jamcs’-strect, tho military taking
the same direction, headed hy their comman
ding officer, Col. M. About this timo the
stones again began to fly from tho mob in the
most dangerous manner, and as that part of
tho town has been recently macadamized, the
mob lmd a plentiful supply of stones ready at
hand, which, wo lament to say, they used
with dreadful dexterity. Col. M. nnd sovcral
oftho other officers and men were struck, the
former very severely. Still, tho utmost ex
ertions—tho most persuading intreaties were
used hy both Col. Macintosh, the Magistrates,
and llinso in authority, to prevail on tho rnis.
guided nnd infatuated mob to disperse—but
to no offect. Tho stones and other missels
continued to be thrown, and several persons
wero knocked down before our eyes.
At length tho fatal word was given,—Fire !
—and in another moment four persons wore
lying dead in tlio streets, and sovcral wound
ed,—one of them a young man not more than
15 or 1ft yonrs of ago. Tho mob then fled,
Tho military taking up a position nt the head
of St. James street, adjoining tho Huy Mur-
kot, under a most drenching rain. On our
return through St. James’ street, we observ
ed tho flag-ways literally strewed with stones,
which had boon thrown by the mob nt tho
military, as no row had previously taken
placo at that quarter. The town, at present,
as fur as we cun loam, is quiet, but tho great
est alarm is prevalent—and we beliovo that
tho entire oftho military, including a portion
oftho Royal Artillery, are under arms—trendy
to act ot a moment’s warning.
No b!ntn«* can possibly attach to the milita
ry ; no vor did mon act more calmly. With
out stretched arms, wo observed Col. M. and
tho magistrates, entreating of the mob to dis
perse,
Wc regret to add, that a poor old man,
seeming!} a Canadian, in no w’iso concerned
—fell a martyr to tho improprieties of others.
On tho heads of sucji bo tlio blood of these
men.
One o’clock on Tuesday Morning.—The
Troopaare still under arms, and tho Officers
riding along tho various streots observing any
movement that takes place. We cannot but
rejoice and bo thankful for tlwso precautiona
ry. steps, for had they not boon attended to,
we greatly fear our account this morning
would bo far more lamentable. The Military
have suffered very severely, from tho quanti
ty of rain which has fallen the most part of
yesterday, and during tho night.
Wo havo several times had occasion to say
that the general health oftho Southern Slates

is from tho Vermont Messenger;

therefore adjourn before tho last of Juno.

the French citizens resident there. The U.
S. sclir. Grampus, bound in for a similar pur
pose, passed tho bar after throwing- over hor
ballast, water, &c. Wo are also informed
that General Teran had issued a proclama
tion in which he promised that the troops of
tho Government should respect the persons
nnd properly of foreigners, in case ho was
reduced to the necessity of storming the place.
An incident occurred in the Senate Cham
ber, on Saturday last, which perhaps deserves
notice. Whilst tho Senate was in session, a
piece of iron (part of a horseshoe) was thrown
from tlio gallery into the body of «he CJinm^
ber, passing near tho head of ono or more*
Senators. Tho person who* threw, hastily
withdrew from the gallery, but was followed
nnd apprehended by Mr. Shackfurd, tho door
keeper. After being dotnijied a littlo while,
ho was released, as we understand, by the
direction oftho Vice President.—Nat. Int.

TO TIIE EDITORS OP TIIE OEOROIAN,
Messrs. Editors.—Should you have a lit
tle spare room in your paper, I think it would
be profitably occupied by inserting tlio ex
tract from an address of Dr. Edwards, which
I hand you herewith. It may have the effect
of enlightening the minds of many in our
community of tho evil consequences attend
ant on the traffic in ardent spirits, and there,
by induce them to exert thomselvcs in some
dogreo to lessen that lamentably extensive
and 6nvngo trade : and if any Christian or pa.
triot will read it thoughtfully, with unpreju-
diced foldings, nnd yet continue in the trade,
or in anywise encourage it, I must entreat
such Christian lo examine his heart anew;
and tho patriot who professes to lovo his
country, and thus use his influence to de
stroy her well being, I must warn him of an
and the Carolinns, brings along with it in our • .• , . » _ ,
minds a train of fevers, debated frames, inconsistency which must compel others to
Ouit Indian Affairs.—Wo learn that
our Representative, Judge NVayne, has mani
fested much zeal, .during the whole session
pf Congress, in the settlement of our Chero-
kee difficulties, and had several interviews
doubt tho truth of his professions. T.
EXTRACT.
Suppose such a man (a retailer of ardent
spirits) when ho opens his store for tho snlo
of this poison, should write in great capitals
on his signboard, to ho seen and read by all
men, what ho will do, viz: that so many of
the inhabitants pf .this town or city, he will,
for the .sake of getting their .money, make
paupers, and send them to the alms-house,
and thus oblige the whole community to sup.
port them and their familiesthat so ipany
others he will excito to the commission o*f
crimes, and thus increase tho expenses nnd
endanger the peace and welfare of the com
munity ; tliat so many he will send* to .the
jail, and so many more to tho Stjite prison,
and so many to the gallows—^hat so many
he will visit with sore and distressing disease
—and, in so many cases, diseases which
would have heen'comparatively harmless, he
will, by his poison, render fatal; that in so
many cases, ho will deprive persons of rea
son, and in so many cases he will causo sud-
don death; that so many wives he will make
widows, and so many children he will mako

dull ami depressed state, and all descriptions,

sive silos could be made—at some, timo t! e
bulk of hoidOrs are unwilling to subiqil to tl iq
decline, while on tlio other hand consume b
have the idea of purchasing on still more fa^
vorablo terms. About 409 of tho Brazils &
Co. East India were taken for export; 100(1
Sea Islands are announced for public' auction
on tho 4ih proximo. The import of tho
v/eek is 45,400 bales, and for the year 252,-
030, ugainst 236,700 to this period last year
—there is a comparative incrouse in'the sup
ply from the Atlantic States of 31,000 bales,
but a decrease of 8,0(10 from tho Gulph of
Mex co. Tho sales of Saturday and to-diy:
are 3,000 bales. No chango in tho market.

Havana, May 20.—In the Rico market
there is nothing now. poffuo advancing,
with a brisk and steady demand for Euraitb-
we quote from OJallJ). Sugar hardly mam*
taming its last quotations 5£, 5$ and Uj.-V
Mnlnsses scarce at 3£ a 3$ rs. Exchange on
London declining, on the States it has ad
vanced—tho former 7.} g pretn.; New-

ar.e abundant.
From Howard's Charleston Price Cir-

Biit little doing in Long Cottons. The' mar
ket is not as yet settled. The demand^ 11 j
present, confined to primo qualities ; infer-j
tor aro heavy at our rates.
Rice—The demand since our lust has been !
chiefly confined to prime qualities ; one lot ]

wo have counted, is light, and nearly ono
half in second hands.
Flour—There is a good demand for this I
article, and §6 50 readily obtained.
Corn—Cargo sales during tho week, 52 to I
50 ; Peas, 52 ; Hay, 87£ a 90 cents.
Sugar and Coffee—There has been little ,
doing in either Sugar or Coffee during the'l
week. The Spring business is drawing to a
close. Few country mercliants in tho city,
and littlo or no enquiry for stocks among the j
dealers. ‘ "• **'* -

Whiskey : about 50 bbls. New-England Rum
