TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1826.
i
A numerous and highly respectable meet- i
ing has been held n Richmond, for the pur- s
pose of devising a plan for the relief of \
Thomas Jefferson. Resolutions were a- i
dopted proposing a subscription throughout '
the of Virginia:—each subscription j
.A\|'td to five dollars. The sage of! |
Montecello is amply compensated for thej'
pain which the disclosure of his circumstan-J
ce'L must have given him, by the affection *
admiration and gratitude which have been |
so warmly expressed in every part of the
Unioß. It becomes every day more evi
dent that the Lottery Scheme must be aban
doned. This is now an affair in which the J
i character of the American people is deeply J
concerned, and it will never do, after talk- i
ing so much of Mr. Jefferson’s services *
and making a display of the public feeling,
to suffer relief to come from any other quar- ■
ter than the people themselves. Nor can ]
we percieve any reason why our illustrious <
citizen should decline to accept the free
will offering of his countrymen. They will
not feel the loss of what they offer, and both
they and posterity will still owe to Mr.
Jefferson a * mighty debt which can never
be cancelled. We trust that the inhabitants
of Georgia, will not be the last to act in this
interesting business, and we suggest that
what ever is done, should be done quickly. <
We have received a letter from the Hon
orable John Forsyth, which shall appear
in our next. ,
j
The notorious Ninian Edwards, is a
candidate for the office of Governor in Ill
inois. Some people have the impudence of
the d—-1! 1
Some very patriotic resolutions have been 1
adopted at Eatonton, Putnam county, in fa
vour of the old Treaty, and in opposition to
the new. Georgia is wideawake upon this
subject, and will not be content while the !
Creeks occupy a foot of her territory.
. a j . _ _
We do not give place to our correspon
dent “ Alfred X. Johnstone ,” because we 1
are inclined to think him wrong in the con
jecture, that the letter from Joseph J. Sin
glrton, published in a late Chronicle, is
another quizz, and not genuine.
We undertook the other day to make out for a friend a list
of all the Documents printed for the use of the two Houses of
Congress, during the late Session, having reference to the subject !
of Internal Improvement. Not to speak of the acts which pas- ,
sod in reference to it, the fact that thirty-seven distinct Docu- '
nieuls, some of them making from fifty to one hundred and twen
ty octavo pages each, concerning various objects of Internal Im
provement, were printed during the late Session, literally speaks j
volumes on tiie subject of the increasing share which that object
has of the attention of Congress. [Nat. Intel.
Yes—such a fact does speak volumes—
without any play upon the word—volumes
of warning and remonstrance to the Ameri
can People. It tells of splendid and ex
tensive schemes, and of millions to be lav
ished from the public Treasury. It tells
of power Zeroised without constitutional
right, and of an executive patronage dan
gerous to liberty. It exclaims forbear ! for
bear ! in a voice which we trust will be e
chocd by the whole republican party. We
want no mighty monuments to perpetuate
the memory and the glory of this or that
administration. The business of Internal
Improvement, is wisely left by the constitu
tion to the several States. Let the federal
government move within its allotted sphere,
nor trench upon a province over which it
has no rights.
Mr. Duff Green— the editor of the Tel
egraph, in an address to the public, says he
is prepared to demonstrate :
“ That the election of Air, Adams, was the result of a cor
rupt understanding between the leading parlies to it :
That the means upon which the administration has been form
ed and attempted to be sustained in power, are subversive of our
republican institutions, and unless defeated, will terminate in the
•stablishment of a monarchy in this country.”
“ Come on with your” proofs “ Sir.”—
We are not pleased with Mr. Adams—as
Georgians we cannot be—but these are
strong assertions, and the evidence of their
truth should not be far behind. We have
no idea as matters stand, that Mr. A. can
be re-elected—he will not get a vote in
Georgia from either party---but “ lair play;
is a jevvel”---it is not right or manly “ spar-1
gerel ambi, uas voces;” let the facts be
placed before the people, and there can bel
no question that their verdict will be just,|
both to his present conduct and future pros-:
pects.
An account of the Colombian Republic
by Col. Duane, has been published at Phi

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.
Charleston, June 16.
A small Pilot Boat, belonging to this port,
called the Dodger, having on board Mr.
John Yates, pilot, John li. Johnson and
Timothy Bull, belonging to the boat, while
cruising off the Bar yesterday morning,
about 8 o’clock, shipped a heavy sea which
filled the boat; her ballast shifted into (he
stern, and a small part of her bow only re- '
mained out of the water at intervals. In 1
about ten minutes after, Johnson was wash- 1
ed from the boat and drowned, and Yates 1
shared his fate in about five minutes after ;
Bull succeeded in holding on the mast
for about two hours, when he was fallen in
with by the schooner Eliza Barker, Capt. 1
Russell, from Baltimore, who immediately 1
dispatched his boat and succeeded in getting ;
Mr. Bull on board, but unfortunately lost
his boat while towing her over the bar.

The Drawing of the Grand Stale Lottery i
of South-Carolina, took place, in this city '
yesterday afternoon. The Ticket No. 1424 i
drew the capital prize of &10.000. It was
sold in a whole (by certificate at Miller’s
Office. [lbid.
The Georgia Reporter states that Ren* 1
Fitzpatrick, Esq. has lately secured the Co
py-right of a work entitled “ A Gazetteer '
of the State of Georgia, by the Rev. Adiel i
Sherwood.”
A most daring robbery and attempt at
murder, was committed upon Capt. Charles
M. Hart, the Tax-Collector ofYorkville
District, on the third instant, while on his
way to Columbia, with the State taxes from
that district.
Several benevolent individuals of the city
of New-York, have proposed to send a cargo
of flour to England, for the relief of the suf
fering laborers.
The Ncw-York Gazette, states that about
the sum of 8000 dollars has been collected
in this city towards the relief of our late
President Jefferson. A fact connect! d with
this collection is mentioned by the Gezette,
which is, that the foreign merchants, par
ticularly the French and Spanish, have to a .
man subscribed liberally, with a grace of
the most becoming character. ]
Captain Brownei.l, of the schr. Wil
liam, arrived at this port yesterday, from
New-Orleans informs us that the day he
sailed, (25th ult.) the Missisippi had risen
to a great height, and was on a level with
levee, and that a few'inilcs below the town, '
the banks had given way. Capt. B. ex- !
presses it as his opinion, that in case of a
heavy wind, the town is in danger of sus- 1
tabling very great injury. \

POST OFFICE.
A circumstance occurred yesterday at our
Post Office, which is calculated to make a
serious impression, as it opens a door to a
new and extensive system of fraud.
It is known (hat there are several hundred
glass boxes for the deposit of letters —eacli
owned by some house or individual. A mer
chantyesterday,pressing to the delivery win
dow, heard with astonishment a man asking
for his letters by the number and actually re
ceiving and paying for them. The merchant
very much flurried by this singular circum
stance, asked the man who had authorised
him to receive those letters—the man stam
mered out some excuse—the merchant took
his letters, and in the hurry and agitation of
the moment the man escaped through the
crowd.—On opening one of the letters a
check was found on the Branch for 158000,
which would have been paid on presentation.
FROM SMYRNA.
The Boston papers of Thursday, were
received by the Steam boat Connecticut.—
Capt. Rich, at that port, 75 days from
Smyrna, communicated the following intel
ligence :
Information had been received at Smyrna,
from Mr. Washington, in the Greek service,
that a Greek fortress, which commands
Missolonghi, had been taken by Ibrahim Pa
cha, the garrison of which fled into Misso
longhi, and as the Greeks in the latter place
had only 15 days provisions it was expec
ted the place would soon fall into the hands
of their enemies. A Greek fleet was fit
ting out at Napoli with provisions and mu
nitions of war for their relief. The Greek
, cause was not considered hopeless, as they
j began to be more united for the common
cause of their country, seeing themselves
! abandoned to fight it out without the least
direct assistance from foreign powers.
In Candia, nothing but the little rock Ce
i rabure remained in their possession.
Napoli di Romania was sickly. Messrs.
Washington and Jarvis were directing their
'i way to Missolonghi. Mr. Miller was going
■to Negropont to join Fuvier. Dr. Howe
; was attending the Hospital at Napoli. Mr.
.j Allen had arrived in Smyrna Bay. It is
| well known at Smyrna, by recent arrivals,
’[that preparations were making at Alexan
dria and Constantinople for another expedi
tion to the Morea against the Greeks.
11 ft If past two o’clock, P. M.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
The packet ship Jtesdemona, Capt. Na
■ ghel, has just arrived from Havre, whence
she sailed on the 3d of May. We have
little time to look over the papers. Letters
from Havre, of (he Ist of May, quote Cot
ton, Upland 17i to 21 sous per lb. duty
paid, Louisiana 19 to 25 ; about 6000 bales
had been sold since the last packet sailed.
Paris dates are of the 29th of April. Os
the Greeks, the annexed is from the Journal
du-Commerce of 28th April : (
For some days past the news from Greece
has been less afflicting. Vague reports Os
a check sustained by Ibrahim, have been in
circulation. The Augsburg Gazette confirms
the report fully. Letters from Coifu of the
sth of April announce, that on the 23d
March, Ibrahim gave a general assault to
Missolonghi, and was repulsed with the loss
of many thousands killed—he himself was
seriously wounded—three Beys and a Pacha
were killed. The latest report in the lonian
Islands was, that Ibrahim had died of his
wounds. It appears that Col. Fabvier, with
2000 men and 700 cavalry and Goura, at
the head of seven thousand more, picked
men, decided the defeat of the Egyptians,
who retired on Patras. The fleet from Hy
dra w r as only able to sail on the 26th March.
Happily, Missolonghi was, if these accounts
be not exaggerated, already delivered.
Another statement in the Augsburg Ga
zette is, that Missolonghi was assaulted con
tinually during the 23d, 24th, and 25th
Murch—and that, on the last day, Ibrahim,
when about entering the breach which was
rendered practicable, received a mortal
wound.
The German papers speak of a new plot
discovered at Warsaw. — N. F. American.
Latest from Havre and Liverpool. —By
the ship Franklin, Harding, arrived at this
port from Havre, we have Commercial ad
vices to the 10th ult. but no papers. In ad
dition to what appears under our Commer
cial head, we have been favored with let
ters of the 7(h and Bth ult. from one of
which we copy the following notice of an
improvement in the Liverpool Market on
the 3d ult. four days later than our advices
by the Emily.
“ Havre Bth May.-—By letters of Wed
nesday the Sd from Liverpool, it appears
that 2000 to 3000 bales of cotton had been
taken on speculation at l-8d a l-4d ad
vance, in consequence of Ministers heving
proposed a law to admit to consumption the
wheat at present in bond in Englang—l7oo
bales of cotton have been sold here to-day,
of which 1000 were Virginia at ISisols:
39 bales of Sea Island were also sold at
55 sols.”
Washington’s Letters. — It is stated that
Judge Washington, and Chief Justice Mar
shall have selected from the papers left by
Wshington, between three and four hun
dred letters of his correspondence with vari
ous individuals both before and since the re
volution. They are commilfed, to the hands
of Messrs. Carey fit Lea of Jrhiladelphia, for
publication.
These letters will form a far more interest
ing volume, and probably be calculated to
give a more exalted idea of the truly great
man whom they are intended to commemo
rate, than (as to style) the affectedly senti
mental, and labored anecdotes of Mr. Cus
tis. We speak of the latter from extracts
which have been published in the newspa
pers as specimens of the work.
The brutes who recently shot the Ele
phant, at Chepachet, R. 1. have been detec
ted. Thare were six persons engaged in
the affair, viz : Fenner Eddy, John Inman,
Albert Eddy, Francis West, Angell Dar
ling, and Benjamin Brown. The two first
fired the guns. It appears to have been done
without any cause except the love of mis
chief. They have been examined and or
dered to recognize in the sum of 8500 each.
Boston Paper.
The Norwich Courier , gives the following
strange statement of coincidences :
"There is a man now living in the coun
ty of New-London, who was born on Sun
day, married a woman that was born on
Sunday, and had a child born on each day of
the week—the first on Sunday morning,
and the last on Saturday night.”
It reminds us of the plan of a mercantile
gentleman on this river, who wished to do
away the prejudice of sailors against the be
ginning a voyage, or indeed any other busi
ness of a Friday. He laid the keel of his
brig on Friday, launched her on Friday,
named her the Friday, she was insured on
Friday, sent to sea on Friday, and as it turn
ed out, she was lost on Friday.
