By this report you will observe, that the Bank is still in possession of a very considerable specie fund; you will also remark, that there is an accumulated fund of one bundle 1 and ninety-seven thousand and eleven dollars and eighty three cents, to which are, to he added, eleven thousand dollars, for interest secured by mortgage in Louisiana—six thousand eight hundred and forty-two dollars and nine cents, accumulated trom stock held by the Bank—interest on debts, considered good, in judgment and suit, fifty thousand dollars, and an amount that will he reserved out of discounts on the first of December next, twenty thousand dollars, milking an aggregate sum at that lime Os twu hundred and eighty tour thousand eight hundred and fifty three dollars and ninety- two cents ; a sum which the board of directors cannot doubt being sufficient to meet every loss they have Sustained from the commencement of this institution i ho Bank of Darien under the system of prudence and eci n omy which they have adopted, anti which they I’muk it necessa ry to maintain, will soon place-their bills on a footing of equality with the hills of the other institutions of the state, while they shall have administered largely to the wants of the community during a period of very general distress. ‘ And I remain .your Excellency's vert- obedient servant. (Signed,) T. SPAULDLVtJ, President Jlanh Darien." -ooe- The open manner in wliich Lord Cochrane was preparing to render assistance to the Greeks has induced the British government to , issue a Proclamation which is decisive upon the policy to he pursued towards that strug- ! gling people. It seems that a strict & impar- ; tial neutrality is to be maintained, & the sub jects of the Crown are to be restrained from [ lending their assistance to the most interest- 1 ing of all causes ; that of religion and lib- i JCHTY. It is supposed in the French papers, that a jealousy of the influence of England in ' South America, has inspired the United } States with a desire to foster the Spanish interests in our sister Republics, and to this cause is also to be attributed the extraordi-! c nary courtesy of the present and late Ambas-i** sador to the Court of Madrid. This country| v we are sure can never entertain a feeling of 1 hostility towards Republicanism, no matter a where its doctrines are promulgated ; and a the adulatory strain in which the monarch of the embroidered petticoat has been ad- } dressed by two of our Ministers must be of- * tensive to the great majority of the people ot these states. Oureuvoys at foreign courts should not forget, even in the presence of 1 royalty, that they are the servants of the v only legitimate sovereign on earth—the s PEOPLE. V —■».- C Ke an (lie actor, on presenting himself on a the New-York boards, about the 15th inst. J 1 met with a reception not very creditable to 1 the audience, ami quite too warm for his comfort. The play which was Richard 111. went on with difficulty; a mulatto and a d fellow in a white hat, were leaders of the c row, of which the following will give some s idea '1 “ Mr. Kean advanced* intimating by gesture his wish lo be t ioard. Again the outcry commenced, and after waiting a short itne lie mired, and the play proceeded in pHntomime. The ™ rles throughout wen; various. In the •• Shakespeare,” in a con ipicuoua position stood a mulatto, straining his Voice lo its utmost 'itch, and bellowing •• Kean. Kean 1” Asido of him in the slip, vas another conspicuous fe.llow in a white hat, crying out •• Hur a for the seducer!” *• Hurra for the Alderman.” says file mulat to: “ Boston,” cried the white-hat fellow; “ New-York,’’ re.- 8 > ponded the negro; “ Boston,” and •• Mrs. (.’ox,” says the while ■lat; •• pork and molasses,” says the Mack; ••pul out that negro:” " put out that white hat,” was heard in various places—•• Hnr- t ra for K«an,” says the black ag *in, and the whole gallery in stantly responded lo their leader.” t Mr. K. has sinc<? come out with the fol- a lowing humble epistle to the editor of a ' New-York paper : v SIR: VVith oppresied feelings, henrl-remliog to my friends 1* and triumphant lo rny enemies, I make an appeal to that country famed for hospitality to the stranger and mercy to the conquer ed. Allow mo to say, sir, whatever are my offences, I disclaim all intention of offering any thing in the shape of disrespect to (j wards the inhabitants of New-York. They received me, (rom , the first, with an enthusiasm grateful, ni those ho\irs, to my pride l —in the present, lo my memory. I cannot recall lo my mind I any act or thought Unit did not prompt me to an unfeigned .ac knowledgment of their favors as a public, and profound admira- J tion of the private worth of those circles in wliich I had the honor of moving. That 1 have committed an error, appears too evident from the all decisive voice of the public, but surely it is but justice lo the delinquent, whatever mav be Jiis enormities, to be allowed to make reparation where tfie offences were committed. My mis- j undeistanding look place in Boston—to Boston 1 shall assuredly go to apologise for my indiscretions -1 visit this country now, under different feelings and auspices than on a former occasion. Then I was an ambitious man, and the proud representative of Shakspeare’s Heroes : the spark of ambition is extinct, and I merely ask a shelter in which to close rny professional and mortal career. I give the weapon into the hands of my enemies; if they are 1 brave, they will not turn it against the defenceless. EDMUND KEAN. Dewitt Clinton, Junr. Civil Engineer, is expected to arrive in Georgia, early in January next. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. 1 have before mentioned the bill before the House for dividing the stale into seven Con gressional Districts. The following is the mode in which we are to be cut up: The counties of Bulloch, Bryan, Chatham, Emanuel, Effingham, Glynn, Liberty, M’ln losli. Striven, Tattnall, Wayne, and Jeffer son, are to compose the first District; Rich mond, Columbia, Lincoln, Elbert, Wilkes and liurke, the second; Franklin, Haber sham, Rabun, Madison, Jackson, Hall, Gwinnett and Clark, the third; De Kalb, Fayette, Henry, Pike, Upson, Newton, VVjd ton and Morgan, the fourth ; Jones, Jasper, Baldwin, Wilkinson, and Washington, the tilth ; Oglethorpe, Greene, Hancock, Putnam and Warren, the sixth; and Appling, Dooly, Decatur, Early, Irwin, Ware, Houston, Laurens, Montgomery, Pulaski, Telfair, Twiggs, Crawford, Monroe, Bibb and Cam den, the seventh. It is likely that the Bill to remove the seat of government to Macon will pass this ses sion. The bill reducing the rate of interest now before the House, makes the maximum rate six instead of eight per cent. [_Sav. Georgian. Mu. UuNCE, vu *IMUMOATED. THE enemies of a distin guished gentleman, who has long represen ted one ot our most important counties, in the Senate of the Slate, have often accused him of want of talents. That matter is now happily put forever at rest: for it ap pears, oy the following extract from Hie proceedings ot the Senate, at their present session, that he has ascertained a principle tor which all ancient and modern moralists and politicians have hitherto sought in vain. It is something “ new under the sun and the discoverer can no longer be denied the meed ot moral discernment. He has found that the crime of “ manslaughter” is not only of less magnitude than that of "theft” or “ larceny” and to be punished more lightly; but, that it involves no “ moral turpitude” whatever : and that the man, who “ sheds his brother’s blood” in private quarrel is a gentlemanly sort of offender— | a man of spirit—and not to be treated like the pitdul telon, who steals his neighbors money. If he is sent to the Penitentiary at all, he ought to have the best apartment. Put the homicide in the parlor and the thief in the kitchen : ~ . . Saturday, Nov. 19. " On motion of Mr. WALKER, Resolved, Hurt tbe j.unl Ju- Uiomry CummiUee, he instructed to enquire into the (expediency ot abolishing the punishment, oy Penitentiary confinement, ot j persons convicted ot assault and buttery and manslaughter and inlo i jo oxj'ftdieooy of punishing said crimes by linp or imprison meat m the common jail of the count)- where such offences arc committed; audit the committee should bp ot opinion, that it would be inexpedient to punish those crimes as above stated, that . then enquire nitotue expediency „1 separating in the I'eni ( teutiary, persons convicted ot Ihe aforesaid offences, from those in the renilenliarv convicted of offences which unpin mural turpitude, as limit larceny, perjury, forgery, &c, whicli was read and agreed to." Savannah, November 26, ! Fire. — The three story two tenement! wooden building in State Street, between j Lincoln and Abercorn-Sireets, belonging to' Ihomas Gibbons, and occupied by Mrs.l Sweet, was yesterday morning, about six o’-! dock, discovered to be on lire. From tbe! situation ot tbe Home, it being confined! within (he partition aaid weather-boarding otJ the two tenements, it was with difficulty got t at, but was finally subdued by the firemen, J alter burning upwards some distance. The s building is much damaged in tbe walls, par tition, Uuuis, &c. and it any insurance ex- ists, it must have been effected in New- t York, as none lias been made here. It was doubtless intentionally set on fire, as about ‘ ten dajs since a quantity of combustibles were lighted in an empty room of the third f story, tne door locked and the key taken a- . way, but owing to the smoke which wasdis- , covered in time to prevent damage. The h attempt ot yesterday, is the third or fourth i made within a year to bum the dwelling of f the same family. Georgian. I YV e understand that General jackson has y declared himself, decidedly in favor of the cause ot Georgia; and openly advocates the stand taken by her patriotic Governor Troup. Though the General is not now ip the Senate, still (he weight of his influence will be felt at Washington. [Sav. Republican. Mr. Livingston, of New-Ot leans has been solicited by the Trustees of the Transyl vania University, at Lexington, Kentucky, to deliver Lectures on Law in that Institu tion for three months in the year, with an annual salary of Four Thousand Dollars. It is not understood whether Mr. Livingston will comply with this flattering and honora ble solicitation. [lbid.
