S' -peat, that unless we are must ogre giously deceived, the Governor’s popularity stands upon a basis which cannot be shaken. He possesses in the language of a great and good man, “ a free and independent mind, a habit of estimating men and things by . another rule than the opinions of the day, t of making truth the great object of his re searches, and of respecting himself too much to be dazzled by artificial splendor, or awed by arrogant presumption.” -~no The Legislature adjourned on Saturday !a>t. Surveyors were appointed and the Governor leit to his discretion as to the proper time for employing them. The Committee on the state of the Republic made a strong report against the United States Agent, which was adopted by the Legisla ure. Four Commissioners are to go from Georgia with Major Andrews into the nation, for the purpose of taking evi dence upon this subject. General Gaines passed through this city on Friday last fur Milledgeville. We rely much on his discretion, and hope that all may yet be well. -»*s•« The Superior Court for this county, dis charged its Jurors on Saturday last, and adjourned to Monday next, for the purpose, as we understand, of hearing motions and deciding Law questions.

Despatches were received by the Governor yesterday by express— They were laid before the Legislature im mediately, and referred to the committee on the State of the Republic. A report from the committee was expected to be laid be-, fore the Legislature at 5 o’clock. [ Geo. Journal. Remarkable Speed. —The pilot-boat Sa vannah, Captain White, arrived yesterday from Charleston, to which place she was despatched with the intelligence reported by the arrival of the General Brown at Charleston. The boat arrived several days in anticipation of the mail; but the operations were not as extensive as were expected, in consequence of the high rate at which Cot ton was held at New-Orleana. The Savannah has been absent twenty nine days—and has beenunder weigh alto gether twenty-four of that time. During this period she has sailed four thousand miles—and was three days and a h df lying too in the Gulph of Mexico in the gale of the 5d instant. It was very severe, and no doubt caused much damage. ( She sailed from this port on the 12th of May last, for Charleston, where she remain ed one day, and has since been to the Bo , lize, where she remained one day, from thence to Mobile, where she remained two days, back to Charleston, remained one day, , and arrived here yesterday, [A«v. Georgian, A public meeting of merchants, has been held in .'labile, at which a serious charge was made against tiie post office depart ment. It was asserted that the mail wu» frequently detained at the time expresses from Georgia were on the way, which con siderably anticipated the mail. It was re- < solved that a reward of §IOOO should be of ■ sered to any person who would furnish au- i thentic information, to convict the offender, i and a committee of three was appointed to collect information and wait on the Post Master General at Washington. [lbid. I We extract the following important arti cle from the New-York Evening Post, of the 28th ult. “We have been informed by a gentleman of respectability, and on whose statement we can rely, that a treaty has been concluded between the French and Spanish Governments, by which the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico are to be occupied like Cadiz, with the troops of the former |nation. Os 16,000 French soldiers'now in the West Indies, 8000 are to he drafted for Cuba, and 4000 fur Porto Rico ; and the garrisons now occupying these places are to be disbanded and sent to Spain, or to some other station. A Frenchman has been ap pointed to succeed General Vives in the (government of Cuba, which, with Porto Rico, is to be held by the French, until the alarm (arising from revolutionary principles, and from the fear of invasion, has completely subsided. Whethe r Great-Britain will per-; mitthis arrangement to be carried into ef fect, remains to be seen. She has from 17,000 to 18,000 troops in her West-lndia Islands ; and a powerful naval force, equal at least to that of France and Spain. It is scarcely possible that so great a European; force can continue long on this station,] without coming in contact with each other and if the views of the different cabinets are not in union, we may expect soon to hear of some decided event arising out of the pre sent uncertain state, of affairs in this quar ter of the world.” The Athens Centi = el, remarking on Gov. Troup’s Message says—“ The message lias, when speaking of previous decisions of the Supreme Court, inducing Congress to act, a reference to the Yazoo question—A fic titious case, it is well known, was gotten up before that judicatory, in case of Peck, &c. and on the decision of the Court, the in-famous compromise took place. Under the sanction of that all-absorbing tribunal, the act passed, by which five millions of dollars were put, not into the pockets of the innocent purchaser, but of the speculator, who had joined in bribing the assembly by whom the frudulent sale was made—and who had in most cases been duubly paid for his speculation -first, he had drawn, under the act of Georgia, his portion of the sum paid to the state for his share and secondly, he had sold a large portion (if not the whole) of his scrip—afterwards he was a third time paid by the United States. If the encroachments of the General Govern ment, thus induced by the Supreme Court, be not promptly met and repelled, our lib erties, as states, will soon be engulphed, and the advocates of a consolidated and splen did government, will triumph. In arous ing the south then, to a sense of its danger, ; let the plain unvarnished truth be told. Let no gilded pills be used, but let the medicine in its genuine and un ad uttered state be administered.” From Havana. —Our correspondent writes 1 us, (says the Southern Patriot,) that “ a re ; port is in circulation, that Gen. Morales in his passage from Havana to Cadiz, has been captured by the Colombians. It is stated that he had a large sum in specie and plate with him. At a meeting of the Board of Health this day, not a. single case of Fever was report ed by either ot the Ward Committees. Our city, so lar, has never enjoyed better health —■the greatest blessing that Providence can possibly bestow on us. [<Sau. Rcpub. <»«#«► A public dinner is about to be given, by a number of citizens of Boston, and the ineighboring towns, “for the express pur pose of testifying their respect and good feeling to Gen. Hull, who has been invited Ito partake of the dinner, and has accepted the invitation.” The widow of the late Emperor Iturbide and her family, are about to take up their residence in the city of New-York, where,] according to the Gazette of that city, they 1 are daily expected. I | Valuable Cargoes —The ship Maria Tuf ton, which cleared from Charleston on the 4th inst. for Liverpool, lias a cargo of 1036 bales cotton, weighing 303,428 pounds,] valued at §151,405 83 cents, which is the grlatest in value exported the present year. The ship Isabella, likewise cleared same day, has a cargo of 1046 bales, weighing 322,598 pounds valued at §113,89291 cts. Valuable Arrival.— The ship Splendid, capt. Sterling, arrived yesterday, in 107 days from Canton. She has performed the voyage out from Havre to Canton and back, without any tidings having ever been receiv ed from her. She is one of the finest and most valuable merchant ships out of this port, and has on board one of the largest; cargoes of teas ever received here from Can ton. [yV. J V.

Pollock, and was to have t»een executed on oc 8v instant, committed suicide by hang ing himself iu the jail. The loss of proper!/ sustained by the re cent fire in Providence, is estimated at up wards of 850,000. The Providence Patri ot, in giving an account of the calamity, i makes the following honorable mention of i the assistance rendered by the ladies : “ la this place, and on this occasion, it ■ becomes us to notice the exertions of the la dies, who not only assisted in removing fur niture from endangered houses, but were frequently engaged in the most arduous du ty of conveying water to the engines; and some of them were seen on the margin of the river passing the buckets, and bv their heroic deportment, cheering and encouraging the sterner sex, who, from intense ai d constant labor, had become almost exhausted. Their conduct during the whole scene, was such as we may always expect from the fair, who are the last to desert us in the hour of peril and danger ; and in whatever situation in life we arc placed, by their ardent attachment and unvarying kindness, prove themselves to be the *■ first best gift of Heaven.” From the best information we can gather (says the Georgetown Gazette) fiom over seers, and other gentlemen who frequent (the country, it appears that the late gale did considerable damage to corn and cotton. One held of 70 acres of corn, we understand, was completely destroyed. We have not heard of any damage being done to rice. A Capitalist being asked what he thought of the innumerable new speculations now | alloat, replied, “ they are like a cold bath ; Ito derive an} benefit from which.it is ncces sary to be very quick in and very soon out, PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE. The following particulars in relation to the escape ot Mrs. Eberman,when the Sea horse was suddenly upset in a squall, in the Delaware Bay, we have from the most authentic source, and can, therefore, vouch | for their accuracy. When the vessel was iupset, Mrs. Eberman, far advanced in a slate of pregnancy, was lying, sea-sick on i her bed. In an instant she was cast out of her birth into the cabin, into which the sea ’ was pouring in torrents, through the win . (lows and sky light. In a moment she was, from she knew nut what cause, pitched from p ( her birth, and, amidst midnight darkness, , found herself floundering in the water, and ( assailed on all sides by the drifting furni r tuie. She heard no sounds but those caus- I ed by the rushing and dashing of the wa ters—she laid hold of the side of a birth . into which, buoyed as she was by the wa iter, she scrambled. It was afterwards as , certained that this was the Captain’s birth, , and fortunately it was a few inches higher L than any other in the ship, f I n this birth Mrs. Eberman sat with her . head against the deck, and up to her neck ,«n water. All was silent and dark ; her . sensations were most painful and confused ; I she supposed ,he vessel had sunk to the bottom of the bays. In this horrible situa tion, hurried ahve, she grasped ~p orange, which was floating in the cabin; she ate it ’ and it greatly refreshed her. She now ; beard a noise over head, and, with a cane I which she had caught in the water, she struck perpendicular over her, against the under side of the deck. She was answer j ed by voices ; hope revived ; she breathed . inore freely, ami her mind became more , alive to her actual situation. She heard i the sound of the axe ; it promised her de- I liverance, but it created the most agonizing . apprehensions. Hei head was touching, was pressed against the under side of the deck, and there it must remain or be submerged i '•! the water ; every stroke of the axe, . more certainly assured her that it fell di . rectly over her head ;—these were among her most agonized moments. At length a chip, about the length of the axe, was taken out from the lower side of the deck, and the light of Heaven again shed its blessed influence on the suffering mortal beneath. With the eagerness ap pertaining to so perilous a situation, Mrs. Eberman pushed her hand, as far as it would go, through the aperture. Her hus band, with all an husband’s anxiousness and love, was on the outside of the vessel; who can tell his feelings when the appear ance of her hand, assured him she was yet sensibly alive—but his heart had scarcely time to beat with joy, before it was collap sed with horror. The axe of the workman jwas uplifted and about to descend with its (sharpest edge upon the hand of his wife—it would se.er it from her body —it was hap pily arrested before it gave the fatal blow. Let us be brief—a saw was procured, a hole sufficiently large was made, and Mrs. Eberman was once again folded in the aims ot her husband, and restored to the world. Deni. Press. From a Western Paper, A slander case was tried at the District Court of Otlachila, on the 19th of April— Dr. Haulm, member of the Legislature, versus General Hughes. The broadest range ot defence was allowed the defendant, and j many witnesses were examined. The tual lasted 12 hours, and a verdict was given of , §11)000 for the plaintiff. Soon alter the judgement of Court for 811.000 was recorded, Dr. Hardin, the I plaintiff, came into Court and voluntarily recorded satisfaction for the amount, with out having received any part thereof—ob serving that lie did not sue because he wanted Gen. Hughes’ money, but to pro tect an injured reputation ; that object liav i,.g been obtained by the verdict of Hie Jury, be would receive uune of the money. lathe Superior Court of IHchmond County, May Tkum, 1825. The Grand Jury on a review of the in terests and concerns of the county coining under their investigation, offer the following presentments, on subjects which have claim ed their attention during the present session. The Jury agree in opinion with the Court, that some change in the judiciary system which will produce uniformity of decisions in the courts ot the different circuits of the state is necessary. We present as a grievance the numerous cases of petty crimes, with which the Supe rior Court is burdened to the delay and ex clusion of cases of great importance pending in that court, and the ekpense to the county of keeping in confinement for trial the of fenders for so long a period as intervenes between the sittings of that court. An ad ditional objection, and one in the view of the Grand Jury, of no small importance to the present jurisdiction of the superior court of these cases is the unhappy etfect in a mo ral point of view, arising from the delay of trial and punishment utter the commission of crime—a prompt and speedy application of the law in all criminal cases it is believed, i lias a strung influence in preventing a repe . tition of offences. As a remedy of tuis evil , it is recommended to the consideration of the Legislature, so far as regards the county of Richmond, to give to the Mayor’s Court of the City of Augusta, or some*other tribunal ■ to be constituted lor that purpose, jurisdic tion of all crimes, the punishment of which ' by the penal code, does not extend beyond tine and imprisonment in the county jail.— And it is further recommended to the at tention of the Legislature, the establishment of a Work House within the limits of the i city of Augusta, for the punishment of offen ders in such cases, i We present the remissness of officers in ; detecting and prosecuting oftenders under i the Gambling act. i It lias been represented to the Grand Jury, i that several adjoining counties have recently i improved old roads leading into this county and towards this city, with a view to in . creasing facilities of intercourse with us.— lit aid of so desirable an object, we recom mend to the justices of the Inferior Court to appropriate a fair proportion of the surplus funds of the County to the improvement of roads in this county meeting such roads in other counties—and another fair proportion of said surplus to the improvement of roads within three miles of the city of Augusta. We present as a grievance of no ordinary magnitude the rate of tax assessed upon real Estate in the cities as excessive, when con trasted with that which is paid upon lands in the country —having searched in vain for an argument to disprove its palpable injus tice, we deem it only necessary to direct the attention of the Legislature to the subject. The Grand Jury avail themselves of this opportunity to express their pleasure on a gain meeting his honor Judge Rkid, on the bench, and to bear testimony to his assidu ous and faithful discharge of duty during the present session of the Court. And ihey respectfully request his honor to furnish a copy of his charge tube published with these presentments in the Gazettes of this city. JOHN M’KINNIE, Foreman, D. BERREY, JOHN H.
