By lids arrival we are furnished with Lmdon papers to the 12th, and Liverpool to the 14th June, in clusive. A Liverpool prices current of the 13th, mentions a further decline in the article of Cotton, of |d on Brazil, and Id on Ameri can and other descriptions. Among the articles which we subjoin will b > found one relating to the defeat ot the Egyptian forces by the Greeks, An official despatch had been received from Brig. (Jen. Sir Archibald Campbell, dated at Rangoon, January 14, giving the particulars ol an attack on the fort of Sy riam. Several officers and men of (lie Brit ish forces were killed and wounded ; but the place was gallantly carried by storm. The despatch states that (lie enemy (not vuthttunding the laie defeat of the Bur mese) were collecting an army to attack Rangoon. 'Hie Canada Commissioners hud arrived at Liverpool from Now-York It is stated that the Mmquis of Hastings is to succeed Marquis Wellesley, as Lord Lieut, of Ireland. In the House of Commons, Mr. Hume presented a petition from Crail, (Scotland) to prevent tin: immolation of widows in the Hast-1 inlies. Not less than 3,400 widows had been returned during the la-t year, as having saci Diced themselves on the dead bodies of their husbands, in the single pro vince id B mg. l l ; hut ihe real number might be estimated at 10,000 ! The Liverpool Mercury of the 10th says —South-American commerce has gone on progressing during the three years that it lias freely existed, in the proportions ol 02, 43, 58. What a demonstration of the ad vantages of freedom and free trade! The commissioners appointed by the Crown to examine into the charter schools of Ireland, have made a report, which dis closed scenes of the most atrocious cruelty and abuses of the most flagrant description —A motion for an address to the King, fori the prosecution of the perpetrators of these' cruelties, had been made in the House of Commons, and unanimously agreed to. Li a committee on the Canada and Bun ded Corn Bill, in the House of Lords, Junel 4, Lord Malmshury said that if any Cana dian corn was allowed to be imported, the United States would contrive to smuggle to: a great extent—and lie moved that Canada! he left out of the bill. Tin* amendment was rejected by a majority of s—and die bill ordered to be reconsidered on Monday, the 6lli ; on which day Lord. M. again op- • posed the introduction of Corn lioin Cana da. The bill was also opposed by Lord Da • ere, lesi the Americans should deluge thej' country with their line corn. The Hurl of Liverp >oI consented to limit the operation of the bill to one year, and it was then a- j greed to. The King’s Letter to the. Ear! of Liver pool.— The Dublin Evening Mail ol Friday, says, we are enabled to stale upon authority which has never yet deceived us, that the j must exulted personage in the empire lias been pleased to express Ills approbation of ' the speech ot Lord Liverpool,on the latedis- • cusiion ot the Cadmlic question, in a writ ten comm inicaiioa to that illustrious States- j man. “V\ e (the Dublin Morning Post) can also state, tor the further satisfaction ol the Mail, upon authority which lias nev- ! er yet deceived us, that his Majesty’s letter ol approbation is altogether confined to that single point in Lord Liverpool’s speech, in 1 which lie so completely extinguishes the * Duka ol \ ork’s conscientious scruples re- . spading the coronation oath. This was, in tact, the only point in the speech of the No 1 bie Karl in which his Majesty felt himself ' personally interested.” 1 At the King's drawing room, June it, Mr. . Adams Smith was presented by Mr. Can ning on being appointed Charge d’Alf,dies 1 of me Uidled States. The royal assent | l was on the 19th given to more than ninety 1 bills, that had passed the two houses of Par- ' Lament. The Rev. Abraham Rees, D. 1). editor ot the Cycloptvdia, See. died in Lon don on the Dili, in the 82d year of Ids age. Ihe Maiqui- ot Hastings had returned * to Lagiaiid, and is to succeed Marquis W ei- lesley us Lmd Lieutenant of Ireland. On Mr. O’ConuePs return to Ireland, some tiling like a triumph or public welcome was got up lor die occasion. He made a suita- ' hie address to the people who crowded 1 round him. i ■ Mr. Huskinson had given notice in tin House ol Commons, that in consequence ol he rejection of the corn ware-house bill >/ the other house, he should bring for van! another measure, upon that subject. A letter from a British Officer, dated at hitagong, Feb. 4th, speaks confidently ol speedy termination of hostilities with the Burmese, and of the British being able to negociate a treaty on their own terms. African Expedition. —Major Denham md Lieut. Clapperton, the survivors of the •xpedition which It ft Hngland in 1821, un der the directions of Hari Bathurst, for the purpose of penetrating into the interior of Africa, by the way of Tripoli and Pezz.au. , arrived in Paris on the 21st of May, on their 1 return to England. The results of this per ilous attempt, are said to be of the highest importance, both with regard to settling many interesting points in (he geography = of that hitherto imperfectly k lown conti (nenl, and the state of civilization in which ] they found the natives of several populous I kingdoms, inhabiting walled towns and ci - j ties, actuady situated where the present [ | maps of Africa represented immense des serts. Ah hough five months on their return • from Bornou, in frequent danger from ma . landing tribes, merely accompanying the [caravan as travellers, without any escort, , and always travelling as Christians and Hng f lishmen, yet we are happy to learn that . the papers, as well as every thing they had (collected during their long residence in the I interior, arrived safely with them, and were . embarked at Leghorn for Engl ml. i Greece. —lt will be seen by the follow- I iog extracts, that the cause of the Greeks is , | as prosperous as the friends of that brave e people could wish for or expect. -j The traitor Odysseus, is said to have fal -ileu into the hands of the Greeks, alter huv- Ling been abandoned by his own soldiers, ol The Nuromburg Correspondent of 31st -.of May, contains an article, dated from the Coast of the Mediterranean May IG, which k. represents the Turks as incapable of prose cuting the war against the Greeks with I vigor. It is asserted that the victory of Egypt cannot reinforce Ibraham Pacha, in s consequence of his being compelled to con -I:tribute to the formation of an army, which ,tlie Porte finds it necessary to employ, In| 'order to trunquilize Syria. It is further! | surmised, that because Ibraham has not : made the progress ■ xpecied, it: the Morea, i there is a disposition a* Constantinople to * abandon him to his fate altogether. ' The Paris Constitutional, of the 9lh of June, details the defeat of Redsclud Pacha, - at the head of 25,000 Albanians, Suliots and others, near Ana olico, by the. Greeks. ’ Not as Bozaris, Zaiigas, and Nicetas, were , 1 the Chiefs who led the Christians. On the -116th May, it is stated the * Soraskier’ had > crossed the district of Ulochas, on the 17th, " at day break, was encountered by 12,000, (Greeks, who covered Anatolico.—Nicetas, j ' who command, d the van guard, inline- | 1 diutelygave the signal for battle, and rush- , ed into the midst of the enemy himself. At three o’clock, victory, it is stated, crown-. ed (he stand ird of the Christians. The J [ Turks, beaten at all points, fled on the ( j road to Arta, leaving 3000 kilted on the .field of battle, 500 wounded, and two Pu- s elms prisoners; twenty standards and all J I the Ottoman Ar illery fell, it is added, into . | the hands of the Greeks. If this account , I be true, and it bears every mark of authen- ( (ticity, the campaign of the Sultan this sum- , iiner, has ended in the same disasters that j crowned every former attempt against the ( Greeks. | Trieste, May 25. t We continue to receive letters confirm- t ing the intelligence we communicated to t you on the 20th inst. and we have the plea- c sure further to inform you that, after the a naval engagement, which took place off Cauda, on the 29th Apiil, between a divi- li sum of the Egytian fleet and our vessels, a Under Miaulis the Turks tried their for- v time once more, in endeavoring to go to a the assistance of Ibrahim Pacha, but they o were overtaken near Modun by our brave c Admiral, who did not hesitate to attack r them, amt obtained, as usual a complete tl victory over them. We w ill, however, give 1 you the allair as related to us by an Aus- 8: trian Captain, who has just arrived in our u port from Alexandria, and who says lhat a tiiis second engagement took place on the b 12lh inst. The above mentioned Captainlg was on that day, a few miles distant from I Moduli and Coron ; towards noon he heard ti a heavy firing, which lusted until midnight, v At the time he w.is about twenty mile from Moduli, and heard five following times five d dreadful explosions, & he then saw great ti fl lines and considerable smoke in the Guif " of Moduli, which made him suppose that a several ships of war had been destroyed. On h the next day, (13th ofMay) in the morning, he saw from afar, eight Greek vessels, which hoisted their pendants in sign ol victory, but unfortunately, us the weather was bail, lie could not reach them to have any coinmuiii- 1 cation with them, and consequently he could not give us any further infonua- 11 tion. " Milan, May 30. We have, at this moment, the Emperor t ; and Empress of Austria, die King and p Queen of Naples, and the tw o Sicilies, the v , Archduchess Maria Louisa, the Duke and Duchess of Modena, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Viceroy and Remo of Italy, ihe Prince and Princess of Salerno, &c. ike. j. &c. Milan has been all life since the ar- )• rival of the good and excellent Emperor. fi € From the Loudon Time* of June 3. '* t l‘ e world appears to have outlived tli '> old taste for coronations, made up of mum merits, ecclesiastical and feudal. The des picahle nonsense of the holy oil scrape | from off the fragments of a broken phial * an< t amplified again into its original quanti c by some pious process of chymical su 0 peistition appear to have choked all French men ot the present day whose loyaltystrov n to swallow it, less happy in that particula e organ than their ancestors, who took in am . digested well the assurance that the hoi e ampoule had decended from Heaven, fiei f round the neck of a carrier pigeon ! Wlv , not a bird of Paradise, byway of consis r tency ? we might ask. Be this as it may . there are shrewd suspicions going, that tin t business of the Sucre took but badly. Then r was no ardour, no ravishment of the senses 1 n,) popular spirit—Court, but not hearty na - tional feeling to enliven it.—Even the arti , ficial merit of orderly arrangement w.is de s fective; there was no sustained endeavoui . after outward dignity—no such liberality 01 t gewgaw and glitter as to impose upon tin . vulgar yet: according to the big phraseolo iSf of the French themselves, “ materiel ,, as . well as “ morale ” was conspicuously wan . ting ; and this grand Sucre of Charles X. , has tumbled ex nubibus to the earth, like - the stick of an exploded rocket. Although t the ceremony is laughed at in our Paris let -1 ters as a stupid and condemned farce, some > particulars of what passed before the cur , lain among the several classesof spectators, high and low may be worth a brief descrip tioo, , Ibe public, both at Paris and at Rheims, , baye been deeply struck by the accident which befell the two carriages, by the fire which took place near Rheims, and by ma ny sinisters appearances which have been attached to this coronation and to this bom j. bon family.— she King gave himself up . b»st; on occasion of the accident firs* , 'led to, and two days afterwards had jly recovered from his fright.

Jhe oath to maintain the Charter gave some relief. But then came a new kind of obsolete raree-show. In pursuance of an ancient symbolical custom, a thousand birds were let loose at once thro’ the building; the wretched animals parrots, thrushes, and I various others, fluttered about the chande- 1 lier, put out candles, screamed, and worried 1 themselves and the company—spoiled the ladies’ head dresses, and set one half 1 ol this august assembly a laughing, while 1 the others cursed and swore. At his depar- ' ture from the Church, the King was well re- * cetved by the people, which gave the affair ■ a momentary filip. t The Diplomatic Body are horribly out of t humour. The Duke of Northumberland I and P. di Borgo wished, it seems, to dine I with the Sovereign, or at least in the Royal s apartment. This was refused on the score t of etiquette; and as they would not ac- v eept the fare of their less punctilious breth- s ion each of these grandees—the Percy and 11 the Parvenu —retired to his own hotel. — f I he King, again declined, by virtue of the J same sour etiquette, the Duke’s invitation j~ to a grand ball, it not being “ the thing for t a King of France to go to a ball at an Am- u jassador’s expence His Grace, therefore, v lives no hall whatever; and my Lady J Dutches has hei grievance likewise, etiquet- p te, again like Marplot, stepping in to pre- c vent her from being invited to Rheims, b We understand that the Duke of Nor- v Ihumberland, after his unprecedented toil, t double, and magnificence, was presented with only two tickets for his own disposal, r md his own suit. Verily, my Lord Duke « ms paid rather “dear for his"whistle.” I T r Method . — Ihe famous De Witt, one of v tlie greatest satesmen of the age in which b le lived being asked by a friend, bow he a was able to dispatch that multitude of affairs fl n which he was engaged, replied, that his whole art consisted in doing one thing at a 'ime. “ 11,” said he “ 1 have any necessary p dispatches to make, I think of nothing else h till those are finished; it any domestic as-i ‘airs require my attention, I give myself up s wholly to them till they are set in order.” p -aO»— I The Fayetteville Observer says, that it u is estimated that there were present at the ( late Camp-Meeting in that vicinity, about t liOUO persons.

Extract oj a letter received in Charleston, dated 1 “ Key West, June 27, 1825. < “ The sickness is raging here at present, [ but the complaint is generally confined to the laborers employed by the Contractor, in clearing the Island of trees, bushes, &c. ' The cause of their being most subject to ( the prevailing disease, arises simply, in my humble opinion, from being obliged to drink , water from out the various ponds dial are : surrounded, more or less, by the Mangenill 1 —a tree possessing a white milky substance, a and of a deadly poison. Roots of these a trecs-extend themselves through almost all s these ponds ; and, as a natural inference, the poison most, undoubtedly, connect it- c self with the water. Another proof that c this alone is the sole cause of that disease which has so long alfiicted this Island, pre sents itself from the fact that all those who r make use of the pure cistern water, or wa- s ter from the neighboring Islands, where the , Mangenill tree is not to be found, enjoy ' good health, and are entirely free from all i* those sickening feelings which those who c use the spring water are attended with, t would not fear to reside on the Key ten years, could I always procure water from pure springs. The cause of this Key West a complaint (as it is here termed,) has v battled the wisdom of all our physicians, o who, I am surprized, have never considered the powerful nature of the Mangenill. ( - When these trees are destroyed, and their , roots extirpated from the soil —then, and ; only then, will Key West be healthy, un- l] less its inhabitants cease from drinking the ii spring water. I think the evil might be s remedied, by the ponds being filled up, or water tanks employed for the purpose of 1 bringing water from the neighboring Isl- a ands, which could be effected at a very tri- s fling expense.” ICourier. u French Fleet. —A gentleman who came passenger in the schooner Mary, arrived v hereon the 24th inst. from Puerto Cabellu, 8 informs us, that a few days previous to his v sailing, a report was in circulation at that n place that a large French Fleet was seen l olf Martiuque, supposed to be bound to St. Domingo. The Colombian government, 0 uncertain of its destination, had despatched * Commodore Beluche, in the ship Ceres, to ascertain the intentions of the fleet. Ibid, c ruammmammr ■■■■mm — Triri constitutionalistT~ n- n ® AUGUSTA. rut ™ FRIDAY. AUGUST 5, 1825. 1C “ Gen. Gaines’ letter is an important document, and throws much additional light on the late unfortunate Treaty with the 11“ Creek Indians. <r, h rom this we feel satisfied that the Treaty was a fraudulent 0 transaction, and one which places the General Government in a 1(1 very awkward and unpleasant situation.” ;<l | This is the sentiment of a South-Caro- JO l l ina editor, who does not reflect that Gen. Gaines may himself have been imposed upon by those, who have long since resolv ly ed, that Georgia shall get no more land ie while Troup is in office. If Capt. Talbot had been in the Executive Chair—we should l 8 have had a treaty without insinuation of is fraud or oppression, and the Indians would have gone submissively and in droves even to the margin of the Pacific, had they been j,jrequired. In truth, we look upon the I whole affair from the first declarations of ifJ the United States Agent to Col. Campbell, e down to the butchery of M‘ln tosh, as an '• interference with the politics of Georgia, 1 and an attempt so to control them as to de > stroy Governor Troup, and promote the ■ | views of the opposite party. s j We have before expressed our belief that | the Commissioners have performed their ’jduty in conformity with their instructions, r|and we no more believe that the treaty was* ; the fruit of fraud and the Indians swindled, than that the doleful story of these same ' Indians to General Gaines was dictated by , themselves and not by designing white men. 1 lie ticaty speaks for itself, and is exceed ; mgly advantageous to the red people. No ‘ thing but a blind infatuation or a servile de votedness to the will of perverse masters, . can induce them to oppose its execution. ■ We are glad that before the treaty was 1 sanctioned the objections of the Agent, who ; signed the instrument as a witness, were heard at Washington ; —the Cabinet and the Senate were fully aware of the circum stances under which the Commissioners act ed, and after a full consideration of both sides of the question, the treaty was ratifi ed, It will not then be pretended that the President, his Secretaries and the Senate, acted corruptly, or that they were deceiv ed. We presume that they knew every thing that is now known ; and if so, there cannot be a stronger argument in favor of the fairness of the transaction. But what ever faults there may have been in conduct ing this treaty, none are to be attributed to Georgia. She has only been urging her rights, and would we are sure; disdain to . receive from the United States the Indian title to the lands within her limits, if she believed that it had been surreptitiously or fraudulently procured. Requiring towards herself honesty and propriety of conduct, she would not fail to exercise the same to wards others, and so far from entertaining teelings of hate towards the Indians, she would go as far as any other member of the Confederacy to promote their best interests. As to the surveys—-they will no doubt.be made in time—but those who are so sensi tive upon this subject, may set their hearts at rest. Governor Tnoup will certainly act with prudence and caution, and ab stain from surveying the country, until it can be done without producing unpleasant consequences. — 3oo — the weather has been for seve ral days past quite warm, we have not the same reason to complain of the heat and to deplore its effects, as our fellow-citizens in Boston, New-York and other places. Our city continues healthy, and were it not for the mosquitoes, which, if they do not “ murder sleep” make sad attacks upon it and frequently drive it away—the summer would be quite as pleasant on the margin of the Savannah as on the adjacent hills. It is at this season we believe that the fashionable disorder Dyspepsia is particu larly annoying, and its victims laboring un der the tortures ol body and mind, are fly- J ing in pursuit of health from spring to spring, and from mountain to mountain. 1 o assist these hapless wanderers, as well is those who from straightened circum- t| stances are obliged to sit down under their | misfortunes at home, we copy from the American tanner, several brief directions j I width appear to be judicious, and if so de- || serve the attention of both the sick and the well > fur it is by some supposed that pros perity and skill in the management of af fairs result more from the sound condition us the stomach than from the strength of the brain : \ * INDIGESTION.
