The honor of the nation and mine, are offended in the incendiary writings, I manifests, and proclamations, in which the;, intrusive President of Pernambuco, Manuel de Carvallo Paes d’Andrada, and his faction, ( dared (Heavens what an attempt! to de- , dare a federation. What greater insult can , there be, than to go against the general opinion of the nation, who embraced the con- ] stitution offered by me and sworn toby you, , and which requires that I should be respec- i ted as I ought. To say that the actual sys- j tem is not good; and that a federal is better; i does it not cry to Heaven for vengeance ? To say in his manifests that I am a traitor ( to llra7.il ; that 1 do not fulfil the title of Perpetual Defender except in Rio Janeiro ; that I ought to be abandoned ; that I have wo right to govern you—What do such in sults demand ? I do not speak to you only, comrades, but to all the Brazilian nation. Wliat do such insults demand? Say, cei tainly such a punishment as may serve for an example, even to posterity. Infamous factionaries, say ui your consciences (if you have any) are you aware of what you have written and said ? Being false, as it is, ought you not to be punished in the face of the whole world? Honest and dear Brazilians, if the inferior authorities are to be respected how much more so ought not the government; how much more ought not your Emperor, the latter having been chosen voluntarily by you ; the latter having, even before he was an Emperor, always supported your rights ; the latter having b en the one who in the face of the world, has appeared constitution al through principle ; having been (be one who has always defended you, and shall de fend you; and, finally, the latter having been the one wh > wishes to see you free, and therefore off i s you a monarchical constitu tion, this being of all others the most libe ral. Brazilians, if this be not the opportunity for me to save your honor, and for you that of your Emperor, one more fit will never of fer, and the beautiful Brazilian soil will be lacerated by anarchy. Well then, my friends, let us put an end, not only in Per nambuco, but throughout Brazil, and, if pos sible, throughout the world, to the dema gogues and revolutionists who, representing themselves to the people as philanthropists, never loved mankind, never wished to see a single nation happy, but only wished to grasp riches and authority, without eating for any thing else. France and the South American States will see, and even now (hey see, tlte benefits resuming from such friends of the people. Brazil, unfortunately for us, begins now to feel her evils. We swear in dependence or death; we shall be indepen dent. We swear the integrity of the em pire ; it shall be maintained. We swear, lastly, a constitution; it shall rule forever over alt the Brazilian soil. The Constitutional Emperor, the Per petual Defender of Brazil.

We have been favored (says the Brighton ‘Gazette) with the inspection a piece of linen cloth, now in the possession of Mr. Thomas, of Tunbridge Wells, which formed apart of the inner integuments which covered the breast of an Egyptian lady. The mummy was discovered in the year 1822, at Bor nou, in Upper Egypt, ami came in posses sion of Mr. Granville, of London. On re moving the outside case, the body of a fe male was discovered, enveloped in’bandages of linen cloth, which were applied to every part of the body with the most extraordinary nicety and skill ; when completely develop ed, the body was found tube in a most per fect state of preservation, the flesh of the muscles soft, and all the joints quite plia ble, and it proved decidedly the finest mum my ever yet s. en in Europe, The uncom mon state of preservation ot the body indu ced Dr. Granville to sacrifice, fur the sake ot anatomical science, the most perfect spe cinieii,yet known, and he accordingly com menced a regular dissection of the body, the results of which he communicated to the Royal Society in a most interesting disser tation, which was read in the month of May, 1825. Sir Everard Home ami Dr. Gran ville discovered that the body was that of a female, and from certain anatomical data,l they had very little doubt that she was 45 or 50 years of age, had had several children, and died of a dropsy. This piece of cloth is at least 3000 years old, as Herodotus, (hep most ancient of the historians, who flourish-) ed 500 years before the Christian era, men tions that the Egyptians formerly practis ed the art of embalming a wonderful speci men of the perfection to which the cultiva tion of (lax and the arts of weaving and tanning had arrived at that very distant pe riod. The wrappers round the body weigh ed 28 pounds 9 ounces, and it is most singu lar that all the most scientific and modern methods of bandaging, as now practised by the French and English Surgeons, were known, and used iu this instance at least 3000 years ago.

Extract of a letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated March 28. ’ “ ’l’he sentence of death pronounced by j the Supreme Court at Rio <le Janeiro, a gainst three individuals implicated in the revolution of Pernambuco, and executed the * 17tli ot this month, has produced a great > sensation, especially among the European . f Portuguese, because the first of these indi-, viduals, J. \V. liatclifi, was born in Portu -5 gal of English parents; the second, J. Me [ trovitch, was a native of Malta; and the thud, Joaquim de Silva Louriro, was a Eu 1 i ropean Portuguese. They were certainl > foreigners, and had never sworn fidelity to the Emperor, or come under his govern * merit. They arrived in Pernambuco while * that province was in a state of revolt. Their ; legitimate sovereigns had not acknowled*- ’ ed the Emperor or his government, and, ; consequently, their joining the revolution ‘ ists could not be considered high treason, 5 the crime for which they were condemned. But it is said their fate was determined a long time before their trial. The motive ’ assigned is, that it was J. W. Ratcliff, a man of great talents, who drew up the de f cree passed by the Cortes of Lisbon for the 1 banishment of the Queen of Portugal, who - had secretly offered a high reward for his B head.” f apt, THE NEW BRITISH MINISTER. ' In the Maryland Gazette, which we re r ccived this morning, we find our opinion, = expressed on Tuesday, of Mr. Vaughan’s j intellectual worth, corroborated. It is there j •'fated that he is “ an accomplished scho , lilr * possessing distinguished talents, and a 1 J g r ‘* a,: of moral worth. The (wo years 1 preceding his appointment as Minister to! j * u> United States, he devoted to Ids coun-i try, in the capacity of Minister to Sweden.! ; In 1809 he visited Spain, and shortly after ) waids published an interesting account of the seige of Saragossa. He acted as Se-i cretary to Sir H. Wellesley, British Em-1 , bassadoi to the Constitutional Government •d Spain at Seville, and continued in that station until 1813, when Sir H. W. return ing to England, he acted as Minister. He has likewise served as Secretary to the Brit i ish Embassy in France.” It will be seen, by this account, that he has spent a long time on diplomatic service i abroad ; and we have no doubt that his 1 i sovereign and his country will be ably re-1 1 , presented during his mission here. i r -a©*- c > The editor of the Kentucky Gazette in- 1 - forms his readers, that on the evening, at 4 ■ the close ol a congressional election, the 1 * friends of Mr. Wickliff, one of the candi- 1 * dates, assembled at Ids house to partake of * some refreshments for the occasion, and ’ i that from four to five hundred attended.j 1 Some person is suspected of having mixed) tartar emetic with the liquors drank on that) occasion, and one man has been arrested,!' although no proof lias yet been produced suf’ ! 1 ■ Indent to convict him of the offence.

Se cretary Southard desires the Navy officers to be comprised of supple knee’d creatures, who, “ with baited breath and whispering humbleness,” may prefer their complaints, and not in manly truth and plain terms. We presume, hereafter, those stubborn spi rits, who have humbled the Crescent and the Lross of St. George, are, in the Eastern) style, to fall down at the foot of the throne, | and prostrate themselves before their migh-l tuiess the Executive, and “ beg and entreat,” like the slaves of Algiers, for a hearing.

Ihe letter below forms one of the grave charges against Porter, ff he hid couched it in any other language, he ought to have been scourged with pissmires, or whipped by cowards. Nat. Gaz. Captain Porter has the honor, respectful- 1 ty, to state to the President of the United! l states, that, agreeable to the suggestion of the President, he, on the 16th of last month,j 1 addressed a letter to the Secretary of the,I Navy, requesting an investigation of his conduct in relation to the affair of Faxar- ' do, and the charges of Mr. Randall, as ear- 1 ly as was consistent with the public inter- I ,ests, and on the same day he received what i purported to be the Secretary’s reply, in- , forming him that the Executive hud deter-j 1 mined that a Court should be formed to ex- • amine into the occurrence as soon as cir- 1 cumstances will permit. Captain Porter consequently waited with patience until the * 13th of this month, when, not being able to ! learn that any steps cere taken towards the I 1 accomplishment o* the Executive will, he 1 8 again addressed 'he Secretary in the most I urgent but respectful > ,r, to cause his' conduct to b -nve , ,i md allow him, I • * innocent, to rei" -elf from the tru- I ty unpleasant stuau in nich the order* to>-h . roc,»ii .has plum- him.

Apia J, 1825. 1 THE CARRYING OF SPECIE. j A late number of the Philadelphia Gaz- • ette, in an article on the subject of Piracy, ■ expresses the opinion, ihat “ to suppress pi- | ‘ r ?| es I* w .. 1 ” be Necessary to keep a con- , siderable force in the West Indies, for “ t « ror s.and to make that force efficient, it will be necessary to deprive “ our ships of war of the specie carrying “ trade.” y ° i In this opinion the Gazette is by no means 1 singular, for we believe there is not a senti- ) ment which is more prevalent or extensive ; yet not one, we are confident, on a subject 1 of so grave a character, which is more ei rone- 1 ous. We do not mean here to go into the reasons for this assertion ; because, as there , was lately instituted by the government a formal inquiry into the subject, before a I Hoard of intelligent officers, wiiose report, ! 1 when published, will doubtless present a full | and impartial view of the question, we pre ! I ter waiting for that, to submitting our less .' I perfect ideas on it. We will merely ob jserye. ihut it appears to us, if any thing be- J sides hunting down and exterminating those * i tieebooters, could have the effect to suppress * I their lawless trade, it would be the relieving f ot our merchantmen from the necessity, al- ! together, of carrying specie on the West In dun seas, by assigning it entirely to acer- t tain number ol our armed vessels, wuich 8 I might, for the purpose, make periodical vis its to the proper ports. It is well known , that pirates care but little for any booty be- ' sides money—deprive them of all chance of R obtaining that, and one of the greatest in- a ducemenis to their perilous vocation is taken c a wav, and its prevalency will accordingly , dimmish. Hut, forbid our armed vessels, from participating, under any circumstan-| c ces, in tbe transportation of specie, and c throw it wholly into (he unarmed merchant- s , men, and the naiural consequence must be, * it appears to us, to add temptations to piracy, Ir to multiply its followers, and increase the * number of its atrocities.

IVho’s the Dupe. —Gen. Gaines published the following certificate in this paper on the 19th July last. CERTIFICATE. We certify that we accompanied the ex press from Governor Troup to General Mc- Intosh conveying the request that he would al low the survey of the land acquired by the 1 1 reaty at the Indians Springs, to be immedi jately commenced. General Mclntosh re- I plied th t he could not grant the request, but would call tbe Chiefs together, and lay it be fore them ; which was never done. (Signed) WILLIAM EDWARDS, JOSEPH MARSHALL. Jt Portess\ Upson county, July 9, 1825. Ihis certificate he thought sufficient to prove that the Chiefs of the friendly Indians never gave their consent to the survey of the ceded land. He published it; it has gone forth to the world ; the enemies of Georgia have seized on it as a pretext for the most intemperate vituperation of the authorities of the State, and the opponents of Governor 1 roup’s re-election in the state have seized on it with equal avidity to prove that he call ed the Legislature together without having the consent of the friendly Indians to make! .the survey, and that in stating to the Legis-, lature that he had that consent, he stated what was nut true The “daring character” of this certificate, wtiich, Gen. Gaines says consists only in its truth, will fully appear ■ from the following evidence. But the worst feature in this business is yet to be told. It appears that about the last i ot July, Gen. Gaines was informed by Major ( Joel Baley, a respect tble citizen of this State, that this man Marshall had certified to what , was not true, and that Edwards, being tine of the lowest of mankind, and having left Geor gia to avoid paying his just debts, was noten- : titled to credit. Yet near a month has elapsed I since he received this information, and lie . permits the i npressi <n bis letter and theii i certificate made on the public mind to remain there. Even in this paper we publish another i letter from him to the Governor in which not i one word is said about this certificate, which he must now know to be utterly worthless. Compare this conduct with that of Governor i Troup in a Similar case. In one of his letters to Major Andrews, by not adverting to a par ticular date, he did justice to Col. Crowell. | Maj. Andrews directed his attention to it— Reparation was instantly made. Now mark ! the contrast. Gen. Gaines is instrumental in producing an impression on the public mind, i injurious in the highest degree to Governor \ I roup. He is informed that the evidence on | which he relies is unworthy of credit.—Yet i he takes no step to repair the wrong he has done. SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE. * LEWIS WYNN testifies he has heard * Marshall say that he had given his consent to make the survey, and that he thought it best that the survey should be made this year, so that the Indians might sell their possessions for the remainder of the time allowed them 1 to occupy the land—Does not know of his own knowledge that a Council was to be i held, he was so informed by Marshall. BOLIN SMI TH, of Monroe Co. testifies he was at Gen, Mclntosh’s about the 9th or 10th of April last—there was a meeting of' a considerable number of the Chiefs—they , held a Council—he learned from Mclntosh and others that they had agreed for *he Go lernor to have the land surveyed as soon as ' he pleased—saw Marshall about the 6th , April, when Marshall said that a council was t to be held at Mclntosh’s to determine wheth- • er the Indians would give their consent to r the survey—that he could not go back, but 6 had authorised Mclntosh to sign for him, for ] he was willing to have the survey made. At that Council there were present from Geor- m gia, Maj. Baley, of Monroe county, General c Ware, of Fayette county, William Bowen of Milledgeville, Sanders Walker of Monticel lo, Mark and Win. Hudspeth of Ue Kalb, Major Vaughn and some others from Fayette C and De Kalb counties, their names not re- * collected. * GEORGE S TlNSON—testifies he was at n Gen. Mclntosh’s in April last, when a coun- c cil was held by the friendly Chiefs, to de- T dare on the application ot the Governor to !' survey the land—ihe council did then and there give its consent to the survey being nade, saw Marshall about the first week in April, and asked Marshall if he would not ittend the Council, Marshall replied he ~ vished to go home and had authorised Gen. Mclntosh to sign his name giving his con- ■ sent to the survey. Gen. Ware of Fayette I :ounty. Major Baley of Monroe county, it ■iaunders Walker of Monticello, Win. Bow- X 1 :n of Milledgeville, Bolin Smith of Monroe £ ;oun(y, a Mr. Vaughan, and some others, u heir names not recollected, were at that m Council. j t Major HUGH VV. ECTOR, of Monroe :ounty, testifies that he saw Marshall in the lation when the runner arrived with the ,1) lews of the murder of Mclntosh—had con- ■: rersation with him, in the course of which " te asked Marshall if he was not at the Coun :il at General Mclntosh’s concerning the urvey. Marshall said he was there a°short ime previous—that Mclntosh insisted on ~ iis staying to the council—that he did not vish to be absent from home so long—that lh ie had authorised Mclntosh to sign, and act r ii the case fully for him, as he had no ob- u ection on his part. Marshall expressed an ntire willingness to the survey and assigned as a reason that the Indians would have an opportunity of selling some of their produce, which they otherwise might not dispose of so advantageously. 1 JOEL BAI.EY, of the Indian Spring, i testifies that he was at a Council in April last, at or near the residence of General Mc- Intosh in the Creek Nation. The council ' was held (as he believes) to ascertain if the | Chiefs would give their consent for the Go vernor to survey the land. The council was ! in session when he left there, previous to ‘ which he had been informed by Gen. Mcln ’ tosh and others of the head Chiefs that they were willing that the survey should be made ' immediately or very soon thereafter. Witness further testifies that on his way to the council he met Marshall, Jesse Pros ser, and a Mr. Edwards—that Marshall informed him he had been to pilot Mr. Pros ser to the residence of Gen. Mclntosh—that 1 he asked Marshall if h* would not attend 1 the council—that Marshall replied it was out 1 of his power to do so, his business would not ' admit of it ; but that he had authorized Gen. Mclntosh to sign an instrument for him giving his consent to the survey, for he was perfectly willing it should be done. This was a few days before the council, and about the 7th or Bth of April last. Wit ness does not recollect all the citizens of Georgia who were at that Council, but re collects Bolin Smith of Monroe county, .General Wareol Fayette county, and two persons named Hudspeth, formerly of Jas per county. Witness further testifies that he has had some conversation with Gen. Gaines upon the subject of a certificate signed by Joseph Mirshall and William Edwards. Some time about the last of the past month, Gen eral Gaines stated in the presence of wit ness, that he did not believe there had been v a council held for the purpose of giving con sent to the survey :—that it was sufficient ly proven by the certificate of Joseph Mar shall and a Mr Edwards, a very respecta ble man that there had been no such coun cil. Witness then stated to Gen. G. that there was such a council—that he, witness, was present at it. Witness then informed’ Gen. G. of the statements made to him, wit ness, by Marshall herein before detailed. Witness then informed Gen. G. that he would not make use of the name of Edwards as a respectable man that he believe Ed wards was one of the very lowest class of mankind. Gen. 6. then asked witness what he knew of Edwards. Wittncs informed Gen. G. that he knew that Edwards had left Georgia and had gone into the Indian Nation to avoid paying his just debts. The General then enquired of witness to whom Edwards was indebted. He was informed by witness that Edwards was indebted to witness. Witness testifies that he has known this Mr, Edwards for about five years, and can safely say that he does not believe him en titled to credit. CASH ! CASH ! !
