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. JTou can make what use you please of this communication- W. JOUKDAN. From Hie Boston Daily Jidverliser. 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. Charleston, August 10. 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.

Pugilist, and Mr. , Blytm of the Circus, intend boxing then • passage into Canada, byway of a cool summersjaunt.— Advocate. CONSTITUTIONALIST. 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 Hall Lottery, took place yesterday at the City-Hall, and we may with propriety say the scene was an attractive and inter esting one. We will endeavor to obtain a list of the numbers and prizes for our next paper. There no longer remains the small est doubt of the full success of the scheme. Commodore Porter’s defence has com menced before the Court Martial. We pro pose to give extracts from it hereafter, for its great length will prevent its entire in sertion in our columns. Franklin College, —The annual com mencement was celebrated on the 3d inst. We have not room for a detailed account of the ceremonies of the occasion. We understand generally that public expecta tion was more than fulfilled. Dr. Waddel remains in the Presidency, Professor Olds has resigned the chair of Natural Philosophy, and Dr. Henry Jack sonhas been appointed to supply the vacancy. Goy.

It is supposed the buildings and machinery will cost about one million of dollars. A large manufacturing house in Manchester, England, is said to be deeply interested in ; this establishment Mobile, August 2. J We have delayed our paper several hours 1 waiting for the report of >he Board of Health. I he Board have handed in the following for I publication. “ The Board of Health together with the Medical Faculty of the city of Mobile, con scious that there are existing in this city several cases of malignant fever, take the first opportunity to warn the inhabitants theieof, and advise all who can to move from the [ Register . 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. [A««. Georgian, Gth inst. ~. 11 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. \ Corn. Jldver. Juhf 29. 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 .” PHILO. The New-York Commercial Advertiser . says—“ With the exception of maize, there is scarcely a green vegetable to be seen in . the neighboring pountry; the pastures are literally scorched up. Vegetables in any .quantity or variety, have almost disappear . ed from our markets.” 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. 4 VAT AND FOR SALE BY TALES of tbp CRUSADERS, hy ihe author of Wgverly, L ves of the Novelists, by Sir Walter Scott.
