CONSTITUTION \LIST. ~~.dmcsT.l-. - 1 - —.-- - -...-. _ ( FRIDAY, APRIL 1 W e do not profess to be the special ad mirers of Dewitt Clinton. He has been to i all human appearance, during the greater j part of his career as much an intriguer, and | as little a religionist as any of his brother ( politicians, and must consequently disgust every delicate mind, by his cant of pro- ( found reverence for Heaven and the Peo- ( pie. But fortunately both for himself and the public, he has rendered fashionable a g new criterion of popular preference. Whe-I ther he was the author or only the chief pat- ron of the New-York Canals, he has per formed a glorious service for his own state, ' on tor prize of the whole na- i Hi.- ’ s - I < n i it i ;e.i •-,)>, ct l ( i n . ' i i.ic ,ly il ( ■. ;• he :■ -op. to ifcj ■ve do ich 1 ■( lie, I"' Her resoui tbo w > • llilc | I others have exhausted their finances on ill p contrived and worse executed schemes, she | stands ready with unbroken means to avail vherself of the lights of the age. May she * husband and increase those means, remem- Ibering that the prosperity and glory of fu ture ages must depend on the wisdom of this. Our Legislature has very properly determined to ascertain by scientific sur veys what advantages the country presents for artificial communications by water ; hut it must be obvious that the less expensive and less hazardous improvement of pub lic roads, is the first object of this na ture which should engage their attention. How many thousands are annually tost bv the miserable condition of our highways— thousands which might be so easily saved ! J jLet us offer a premium in politics, by deter mining that he shall for ten years at least be considered our first statesman, who con trives to transport a bale of cotton to mar ket at half the present expence in tiipe, la bour, and destruction of horses and vehicles. No! we beg pardon. There is another I- eharacter who should stand highest for ten hundred years—it is he who by a judicious application of the public resources, shall bring the streams of knowledge to every town, village, and cottage in the I md; who shall thus become the happy instrument of conferring on human nature, the greatest benefit which it is capable of receiving.— Politicians and philanthropists, here is an object worthy of your zeal. Ambition and benevolence can afford no fairer field for your talents and virtue. Since the late frosts, (snys the Georgia Journal) we have heard from almost all parts of the state. No injury has been sustained from them. Great apprehensions were en tertained for tiie wheat crop, as it was just in a condition to be cut*uff. It has escaped Unhurt. —Q One of the gang of villains who have fol lowed close in Gen. Lafayette’s rear, pick ing-pockets wherever an opportunity ottered, was apprehended a few days ago on the bor ders of Alabama and brought back for trial I He is an Englishman, who calls himself! William Williams, and acknowledges he was an accomplice in purloining Maj.Smitli’sj pocket-book in this place, containing 84,500 —a part of the money has been recovered! from him. The Superior Court for this coun | ty being in session, the culprit had no cause to complain of a delay of justice. He lias jbeen tried, convicted and sentenced to lire Penitentiary for four years. [Southern Recorder. > Agricultural. —We understand (nays the Savannah Georgian) that the “ Georgia! Agricultural Society of Savannah,” at itsi meeting yesterday, appointed a committee' to draft a scheme of premiums for the most successful culture of Black Seed Cotton, Green Seed Cotton, Rice and Indian Corn.i As soon as the committee have made their I report, it will be published. This e rly in timation of the intention of the Society, is given with the view of affording to the plan ters generally, an opportunity of preparing for the competition. , A large amount of notes of the Darien Bank, (880,000,) has been held under pro test by the Planters’ Bank of this city, for some time past. We understand that the former institution has recently redeemed tin whole of this amount. This mea-uie, we pn sume, has been adopted, in consequence ; of the depreciation of the notes of that Bank. ! .Os the solvency of the Bank, we believe no , aloubt i* entertained, but the credit of their notes, we are of opinion, will not be entirely ■ ecovered, unless like the other banks, they i >ay evety demand upon them promptly— > and unless their notes are received irt deposit t and payment by the United States Bank, < and the Banks of the State jfJ [/bid. « • . TW . I Speculation continues to run high, not only in Cotton, but in other merchandize. We are informed that Coftee and Sugar, in 1 Charleston, have been bought up extensive- f ly, by orders from Boston. The price has ' of course advanced. ’ We understand that on Saturday, a sale of Cotton-Bagging was made as high as 27 \ cents, in this city. [/bid. | The quantity of Cotton arrived this sea- * son up to the Ist of April, is 120,000 bags —this exceeds I lie whole quantity of the f last season by 15(10 bags. 1 Darien tiaz. sth inst, ' i, ii We regret to learn that on Sunday even- j ing tiie 3d inst. the Carriage House and Stable of Col. Thomas Pinckney, at his plantation in St. James Santee, were con sumed by fire, and with them two Carriages I and two pair of carriage Horses, and one riding Horse. The loss is estimated at three thousand dollars. City Gaz. Georgetown, April 5. W« understand that Mr. Neusam has late ly lost his contract for carrying the mail from Pee Dee to Fayetteville. It is believ ed there lias been more fai|ureson that route than any other between thij and Washing ton. This afternoon three Northern Mails ar rived here, bringing bac k papers and letters directed to Williamsburg, Avant’s Fern, and China Grove, together with those for other Post Offices in Williamsburg and Sumpter Districts. There will be some con , fusion of the mails for some time, in conse quence of the late resignations of Capt. Dozier at China Grove, and John. W. Jean erett, Esq. at Avant’s Ferry. Charleston, April 11. From a Gentlemi.n, passenger in the sch’r. Ranger, from Matanzas, we have obtained the following information : Capt. M’lver, of the U, S. steam galliot, Sea Gull, received information that a nest of pirates was at a place called Justias Gatla, to the windvvard of Mamnzas ; he supplied himself with a Pilot and proceeded to the spot, where he fell in with 11. B. Majesty V schooner Lyon ; they attacked the pi at s, and captured a schooner and boat, kdled 8, and took 19 prisoners, who were put on board the Lyon, to be carried to Jamaica I lie figure head of a ship, supposed to be the Balize, of Philadelphia, was found on board the piratical vessel, and on shore were found the skeletons of 13 men, tied to trees ; no doubt the crew of the Balize. By the British ship Commerce, from Greenock, papers have been received to the - 25tli February, inclusive. Advices, by let ters from Liverpool, of the 2411i0f February ' have also been received, whicji is one day later than former accounts. They state a ; continuance of the improvement in the Cot . ton market. We have been favored with | the following extract of a''letter ; “ Glass go w 261 h feb. 1825. 1 have just reci ived a letter of the 24th ' from Messrs. , at Liverpool, stating they have , per the Cortes. They say r , ‘ I lie market is improving here at a : most wonderful rate, an advance of id. pcl lb. having been established on Uplands since yesterday morning; they now rule from ■ KJ-jd. to 13, prime Cottons, and the market :is quite wild. These accounts must render ihem equally so in America, and we should think it not prudent to order Cotton at pres ent, though we are fully persuaded, if (|, e American. Crop does not exceed last y ear’s that we shall have still higher prices when . that fact is ascertained ; but we may fairly calculate now, that every advance here, will toe completely anticipated on the other side. I Sales ol the week here 3784 bales: Sea Islands 12$ a 256 ; Boweds, II a 12J, | This day Cotton, per Margaret Bon-le cost only 12.| cts. has sold at 13d. ~ Liverpool, 24th Feb. 1825. | We continue to have a brisk speculative demand tor Cotton, particularly American, which are j, and in some instances £ per lb, liignei than yesterday. Brazils and others aie selling at very full pi ices; 13.{ has been paid foi Boweds, and 13 * lias been refused Inr a few, which are very fine. The total 'sales to-day are about 5 a G,(JOU bags chieily Boweds.” J j Kentucky . —The new trial of Isaac B. Desha, says the Louisville Advertiser, com menced at Cynihiana, on the 14th ultimo. 1 Court oj Appeals. —Judge Shannon has decided in Uie Madison Circuit Court, that! licenses granted to attorneys by the Ex court of Appeals, were null and void. Judge Uavidge in the Henry Circuit Court lias refused to admit to record, an opinion of the new Court of Appeals, which was authenticated by F. P, Blair as Clerk, lie h..s decided that the old court is the true court of Appeals, [Guz. -"VWa*- . Pensacola, March 12. We learn with much satisfaction, that the military road, from this City to St, Au gustine has been completed as far as the Cow-ford on the Choctawliatchie and that a ferry has been established over tha river, liavellcrs to the Eastward can now passj / without any difficulty, ami as there is a number of good traces leading into Geor gia and Alabama from the main road, on both sides of the river, a very extensive communication is opened between Pensa cola and the Interior. We are informed that a road has lately been explored from Yellow Water Bay to the above mentioned road, and no obstruc tions were found in the \vay, excepting one small creek. The road has completely withstood the extraordinary rains of this season ; none of the cause-ways or bridges . have sustained the slightest injury. It is, f we understand, the intention of Captain E Birch on his return, to make some altera- * ll tions In the cause-ways, in order to give them nearer permanence. Col. George Walton, Secretary and acting Governor of this Territory, arrived _ in this city on Monday last from 'Tallahas see ; accompanied by Capt. Daniel E. Birch, United States’ Quarter Master and;r. Superintendant of. the road now opening *" from Pensacola to St. Augustine. t) We understand that Gen. Richard K.. Call, declines being a candidate for the - office of Delegate to Congress ; and that he has been appointed Receiver in the Land Office of this Territory. —<aoe— Washington, April 4. Duty on Bice imported into Spain. —The following Royal Order vyas addressed to the General Superintendency of Revenue, un der date of the 3d of December, 1824, by the Secretary of the Treasury of Spain, f] admitting Rice as an article of importation, | 0 and imposing the duties theieon. “ His Majesty declared by a Royal Or- 1 tier of the 2d of October last, tiiat Rice should not be embraced by the law upon grain, but that it should be an article of im portation ; the Junta therefore thought proper, foi the present, to impose on this ar- | tide the duty of 212 maravedies £33-|cis 3 tor every arroba. Prom this isAo be deduct- t ed the duties of nivelacion, subvencioit, and ' consulado, as established by Royal Order ot November 20, 1819. The duty of 112 mrs. is to be collected entirely from the impor ter, and the deduction of (he duties afore said is to be made therefrom, and applied to their ./roper objects.” Norfolk, April 4. A North Easterly gale prevailed on Sa- ‘ turday and yesterday, (attended with a I considerable tali ot rain, and an unniisual ■ 'jly high tide,) which we fear has occasioned ' much distress to the shipping on the coast. ’ ( Our Marine List already exhibits some of jJits disastrous effects. [ Mi lane holly iccident. —A boat from the iNavy Yard while returning thither from I this side, about 12 o’clock on Saturday, du rins> the height of the gale, was upset oft’ Powder Point,” and of live men who ' were on board, four were drowr.e'l. They had just before t.tKen on board a fire en- Igine f"om Campbell's wharf, intended for | the use of the Navy Yaik, the weight of : | which immediately cat t ied the boat down.— ;I he ucs ot the men who lost their lives, 1 iwere, Dminavant, Garrison, Curtis ami iPottl ock ; that of the one who was saved, l is Smith. They were all employed as boat 'men to the Navy Yard. i J Captain Ohey, arrived at Newbern last , week, from St. Thomas, informs, that two r nights previous to his sailing, another at tempt was made to set the remaining part i of the Town of St. Thomas on fire ; but • was discovered before it had commenced, , .jand was soon extinguished. 1 From the St. John’s (Jintigua) Free Press, ; of March 11, received at the Deacon office. ' j The present crop in Demerara has suffer- . ed greatly from continued drought, and it is expected that the crop in Jamaica will i fall short upwards of 70,000 hhtls. The 'jfailure, together witli lute considerable ex ports from England of Colonial produce to ithe Continent, must cause a rise in the I markets, and though we regret the tnisfor |tune of our sister Colonies, we cannot over look the probable advantage which, (with ! ■ the blessing of seaso’able weather) may j accrue to our own Island. Col. Campbell and Mr Ward, the Brit -1 ish Commissioners to Colombia and Mexi co, arrived at Barbados in Ids Majesty’s' ! ship Egeria, on the 17th ult and sailed on ' 1 the same day for Carthagena.
