Springs. Capt. Bowen after beinj individually requested by
Marshall, wrote ihe letter dictated by Marshall, and Iwhich he
read aloud to all present before Marshall signed it, and requested
Marshall to say if it was written as he desired and expressed
himself; to which Marshall assented and affixed his signature.
This letter about which Capt. Triplett has said so much, and
wholly inistated the facts as well as the conversation before re
cited, all took place in the presence of Col. \V illiamstn, myself,
Mr. Van, Capt. Bowen and Marshall.
In conclusion permit me to remark, that in the same compass,
and the same number of sentences 1 have never known so shame
ful a departure from truth , so many evidences of turpitude and
misrepresentation. I considered tne whole of it unworthy a
passing remark, and should not have bestowed one, but at your
•pecial request.

LATEST FROM FRANCE.
We have received Paris papers to June
14, which contain a few articles of intelli
gence that had not before reached us.
The law respecting the finances which
had previously passed the House of Depu
ties was adopted by the House of Peers on
the 10th, by 126 votes out of 132. On the
13th, the law was presented to the king by
the committee of the Peers, and subse
quently, on the same day, the session of the
two chambers was closed by the king’s pro
clamation.
Accounts from Hydra byway of Malta,
and from Corfu, confirm in their material
circumstances those which wc have already
published of the checks met with bv Ibra
ham Pacha, and the Turkish and Egyptian
fleets. The following letter which we copy
from the Journal des Debates, although not
of so late a date as letters already publish
ed from Zante, contains information de
serving of notice, and wears the appear
ance of authenticity. The statement that
Ulysses, after being abandoned by his
troops, had given himself up to the Greek
government is confirmed in an article from
Hydra.
Corfu, May 12,
A barque which left Nauplia five days
since, brings the following information:
Ulysses, who has never placed his wife and
mother as hostages in the hands of the
Turks, as announced in the Oriental Spec
tator and Austrain Observer, has just sur
rendered himself into the hands of the Hel
, lenian Government. This artful and cou
rageous chieftain had revolted against the
authorities with the expectation of acquir
ing for himself the supreme authority of At
tica, Beotia and Phocis, but abandoned bv
all Ids soldiers and too well informed to be
ignorant of the fate which awaited him if he
sought shelter among the Mahometans, he
followed the example which Colocotroni had
set him. This event may be regarded as
the conclusion of the political troubles of
Greece, winch had been excited by the in
fluence of foreign agents.
At this moment it is certain that Ibrahim
Pacini is ruined if he has not succeeded in
re-embarking. His expedition in the Mo
rea bus cost the Greeks some blood. His
artillery directed by foreign renegadoes and
former suidissant Philhellenians, has oc
casioned the death of, many brave men ;
but they are revenged ; the people have ris
en in a-body, a new energy animated them
and the campaign of 1825 will be as mem
orable as that of 1822. The Hellenian
government has welcomed with the liveli
est sentiments of gratitude the arrival of
Gen. Roche, who was sent by the Greek
Committee of Paris, among whom are the
Chateaubriands, the Ternaux, the Fitz-1
jameses, and other illustrious personages.!
Me immediately took the direction toward!
Patras, and it is probable he will be em
ployed in the final reduction of that place.
Tim Hellenian government is about to send!
to Paris M. Calergis, one of its members.
The choice of such an envoy shows that the
institutions ol Greece are becoming- settled.

FROM KEY WES I’.
a gentleman, passenger, in the schr.
Thorn, arrived yesterday from Key West,
we learn that the Yellow Fever was pre
vailing at thai place, to an alarming extent.
Wnen Cum. Warrington left there, {5 or 6
weeks past) there were at the Island about
30 Marines, and from 30 to 40 sailors.—
Ot this number, when our informant depar-i
ted, but 3 men of the marines were enabled
to perform duty, two thirds o£ them being
dead and the remainder lying very ill.
Lieut. Com. Tupper was left in a dyino
state. i'he fever was also very fatal among
the sailors—the hospital being crowded
with the sick and but 5 or 6 enabled to do
duty Cap*. Jas. Mclntosh the Cuniman
,der of the Island was down with the fever.
I Sailing master Harby commanding the Na
vy Yard, had just recovered from a severe
illness. I'he U. S. sloop Vagabond, under
command of Midshipman Falio, had been
dispatched for the purpose of endeavoring to
fall in with Com. Warrington, off Havana or
Matanzas, to inform him ot the great mor
tality prevailing at Key West, and to ad
vise with him concerning the removal of
the remainder of the U. S. forces, &c. be
fore they all fell victims to the fever.

AUGUSTA.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1825.
Ihe affairs of Georgia with the General
Government are likely to grow worse before
they become better. Major Andrews has
acquitted the Agent—General Gaines has
written a rude letter to, or more properly
speaking, at the Governor.—The President
lias uttered his interdict against the sur
vey of the land, the treaty is said to be
fraudulent, and it will be left to Congress
to decide if it be not void ! ! And whose
triumphs are these ? They belong unques
tionably to the Indian Agent, who oas tak
en an active part in the politics of Georgia,
and opposes the performance of (lie con
tract of the U. States because Troup is Go
vernor—who has had the address to make
Andrews his Advocate, instead of his Judge,
and has prejudiced fisneral Gaines against
us—who attempts to use the President for
the support of Governor Clarke, and to the
injury of Governor Troup, and who finally
will endeavor so to manage Congress as to
firoduce the violation of a treaty as faith -
ully and honestly obtained—we firmly be
lieve—as ever Indian Treaty was. Thus
Georgia must drain the cup of humiliation
to the dregs, and all because she refused,
and still refuses to give to the Agent the
selection of her Chief Magistrate. There
is no Hyperbole in this view of the subject;
it is but too true that a single individual
“ waves the flag of Ids displeasure o’er us,”
and a Secretary of War, a General of the
United States army—a Special Agent, even
the President himself are but the ministers
of his vengeance.
We are still inclined to expect much
from the good sense and discernment of Mr.
Adams, and the more so, as his interests
are at present identical with ours ; but alas !
a President of the United States is sur
rounded by barriers through which the
truth cannot always penetrate, and if Gen.
Gaines has been deceived, will not the Pre
sident be governed by his views and act up
on his Representations i Where then shall
we anchor our hopes for the future ? We
must rely upon the sympathy and co-opera
tion of all those who remember that the
states have rights, and who witnessing the
mortifications and insults heaped upon us,
have reason to apprehend fur themselves
similar indignities. We are not at least
deprived of “ the poor privilege of com
plaining” and the story of our wrongs
must be again and again told, until the
scales shall tall from the eyes ot the partial
and the prejudiced, and justice shall be
done upon the head of our tyrant. We
must look to the firmness and independence
ol Congress to redress our grievances— to
protect our rights—to preserve the treaty—
to coerce the government to perform its
contract and give to us our lands. Let it
not be believed for a moment, that stung al
most to madness by an uninterrupted series
of oppressions, we harbour one thought in
jurious to the Constitution or the Union ;
to that Constitution and that Union Geor
gia has ever been one of the most loyal of
| the States. Those who would attribute to
jlier another character, speak not the words
jof truth but of passion and falsehood. It
j is most true that if the laws were unable
jto protect us it would be our doty to pro
tect ourselves \ but we have no such appre
hension for as lung as the representation I
of the people and of the States is preserv-j
ed in its purity. Congress will not, to gra
'fU afl officer of the United Stales no mat-1
ter how high or how low, trample upon the
sacred rights of one of the States—even the
smallest.
We await most anxiously the promised
exposition from the United States Commis
sioners. Let them give us their instruc
tions and set forth their conduct under
them. If it appear that the charge ol fraud
and corruption is well founded, those who
remember and hate the Yazoo Specula
tion, will cordially join in drawing down;
punishment upon the guilty. But if, as we
confidently believe, the accusation is every
way unfounded, it will be a bounden duty
to sustain our injured fellow-citizens a
gaiust the machinations of him, who will
not cease to “ pour upon us the vials of his
wrath” until Clarke is Governor of Geor
gia. But trying as our troubles are, we
would rather bear them, than encounter so,
great a calamity, U
Let us then “ under the shadow of the!
wings” of the Constitution calmly and with
fortitude resist our oppressor ; and so long
as we are convinced that Messrs. Campbell
and Meriwether, have done their duty—let
our watchword be Troup and the Treaty.
The Independence of Hayti having been
recognised by France—a like act on the
part of the United States will be strongly
urged by the crazy Philanthropists and mis-1
chief making politicians of our own cimn-|
try. It should be resisted ; and we hope Mr.!
Adams will not be guilty of the imprudence l
ol proposing diplomatic relations which will
assuredly weaken the confidence of the!
Southern states in the Union. To the con- 1
federacy every American citizen is boundi
hy the strongest, and it is hoped the most
durable ties— but the right ol self pre
ikhvation is perhaps paramount to every 1
oilier. It will not do to say that wc may
interchange Ambassadors with Hayti with’-j
■>ut injury. Hi- who holds sucli an opinion '
.8 acl rea n er. Ihe wretched events which |
transpired in Charleston a year or two since !
plainly shew what have been the effects of
la limited intercourse with that Island.
What then would be the consequence of
throwing; open our doors and extending; out
hands without reserve ? We might as soon
expect to touch a plague sore without con
tamination. Already have the ignorant and
unsuspecting been made the dupes of that
pseudo-humanity by whose influence they
have been exported to Hayti. An unwise
enthusiasm for the formal recognition of
Haytien Independence may be productive
of consequences still more deplorable.
The First Drawing of the Masonic

The following extract from the reply of
1 General La Fayette to the address of the
[Mayor of Lancaster, on Wednesday last,
igoes to confirm the gratifying hope that he
does not regard his present visit to the Uni
ted States as the last with which he will hon
or it ;
“ f cordially thank you, sir, for your feel
ings and good wishes relative to my depar
ture for the other side of the Atlantic—a
parting which I would still more regret, did
I not preserve the hope that it is not for the
last time that I am blessed with the sight
of this happy, beloved land. But whatever
may be my actual duties, my future destin- '
ies, the kind and brilliant reception 1 have
met in the city of Lancaster shall ever
leave on my mind the impression of an un
bounded gratitude.— Nat. Intel. Jlug. 2.
Look out for Thieves. —Several acts of
villainy have recently occurred in this city, ‘
and a sharp look-out should be kept for the
perpetrators. On Thursday night, the count
ing room of Brown & Overstreet was broken
[open, and all the pipers, books, ike. scat
tered about in the most .wanton manner.
Fortunately, no money had been left, in the
room but thirty cents in change, which was '
taken off. The door was forced by prying
off the hinges with a crowbar or axe.

Jlccident. —As our paper was going to
press, we were shocked by a report that the
walls of a large old building in Maiden lane ■
;had fallen upon from to eight to ten persons,
I and crushed them to death. W'e hastened
|to the scene of distress and were happy to i
find that the injury had been very greatly ex
aggerated. While endeavouring to pull
jduwn a chimney, some of the inner timbers
gave way, and an immense mass of brick
wall and timbers fell in a tremendous crash. t
It was at first supposed that several woik- 1
| men had been buried in he ruins ; but with
the exception of three, they had only scatter
ed at the approach of danger. These three
, were wounded. One very badly. The ruins
'are not yet removed—but it is believed no
1 person was wholly buried.

FOR THE CONSTITUTIONALIST.
We turn with disgust from the political,
squibs of the (lav, to the stupendous commu
nication of “ True /Hue,” in the Chronicle
iof Wednesday the lOth inst. Like the.
bright Meteor iie has suddenly burst upon
us, and like it will on his exit leave the world
in darkness and admiration. By his pro
duction he has redeemed his country from
the charge of inferiority so frequently made
agiai.ust it, and placed himself on the pinnacle
of faiJie. If he-continues in his praisewor
thy course,he will doubtless rank in future
ages a.s the “Junius” of Augusta, and have a
“ shingie monument” erected to his memo
ry. Hert’af’ter when one excels in political
retort, he will be called by his admiring fel
low-citizens the “True Blue” of his coun
try.
But our young Junius should throw a lit
’ tie more of the Italic salt into his composi
tions, as it will certainly .add additional gas
to the sublime effusions of Ids pen. I did
intend advising him to make a more liberal
use of Lord Byron’s “ inspiring Geneva,”
but upon a reperusal of his exquisite mor
ceau, I found that it breathed the spirit of
true inspiration. We humbly hope lie will
continue to delight us with his satire anil in
struct us with his wisdom, and that his vis
its to the columns of the “ Chronicle” may I
not be,
‘f Like angel’s visits, few and far between .”

Horrid Murder. —A most shocking mur
der was committed on Tuesday, the 28th
ult near Elkton, Giles county, by Col. Joa
chim Lindsey, of Maury county, on the
body of his wife to whom he had been mar
ried about six months. This horrid crime
, was perpetrated by the discharge of a loa
ded pistol in the side of the head of the de
ceased as she was walking by his side on
the road with her arm locked in his, and in
company with her mother and cousin. The
contents of the pistol passed through her 1
head and she instantly expired. Lindsey
immediately made his escape to the woods
and had not been heard of by the last ac
counts. He is a tall man, finely dressed,
genteel in his person, and of agreeable man
ners.—Nashville paper.

Few persons are aware of the injury they
sustain by eating the flesh of diseased ani
mals. None but the Jewish butchers, who r
are paid exclusively for it, attend to tins t
important circumstance. The best rule for ‘
judging, is the colour of the fat. When the
fat ■)! beet is a high shade of yellow, it
should be rejected. If the fat of veal, mut
ton, lamb or pork have the slightest tinge
of yellow, it should be rejected as diseased.
The same rule holds good when applied toL
poultry. [Virginia House Wife.
