tu“ "■ ’’’’ '.••'t- Stalfe* this—in particular, the language and char acter assigned to Napoleon, his meeting and dialogue with Lord Castlereagh—are ex tremely natural and probable, so as to throw a strong air of illusion over the scene. The ,few following observations, |n which Bona parte reflects on the policy of England, ate at once masterly and just; nor can we re frain from closing our remarks with a single specimen. Alluding to his hard captivity, he is made to observe to Lord Castlereagh— Napoleon, walking in Hyde Park, or in the streets of London, would not have been an object of little interest for the honor of England. Not a man with the smallest portion of judgment, could have refrained from a feeling of enthusiasm when he saw the subject of Great Britain on the conti nent ; every man would have felt a profound feeling of respect for you.

Woman, poor woman, is here emphatically degraded into the -drudge of life, and it makes the heart bleed to witness the burdens she is often compelled to bear.

This discovery, as we leam. was mado by a per son who had not rarmsd any plan or design for that purpose; an accidental cir cumstance exposed to his view the conceal ed agent as he emerged from the case, just after the conclusion of an exhibition of the ’Automaton.—Balt. Gaz. The piece of Mechanism above noticed lias, as many of our readers know, been the puzzle of Europe for nearly three quarters of a century. Whether the secret has real ly been discovered, or whether the proprie tor has played off a rase to mislead the pub lic, we know not; but it seems by the fol lowing communication that the Chess play ing contrivance, ingenious as it is, has been matched in this country. The American says, the communication is from a source entitled to weight; that the writer is a good chess player, and has encountered both Turks with success. It is really strange, as the writer remarks, that the mechani which has puzzled all Europe ft# quarters of a century, should guessed at and successfully . Yankee in less tharv a yeor’tf acquaintance.

I wgpt jasf'tiveniog to see the American AjutopiatoQt which some of our Western rae- 1 ^hanists bias ttiade in imitation of Kempe len’s, and had tjie pleasure of seeingit play a whole game. It is, in every respect, equal to that which made such a noise in our city last year. If is of about the same size, and the only perceptible difference is that it is wound up with a key in the breast, as well as one in the side of the machine. The whole is laid open to the view, more tho roughly, I think, than Maelzel exposed his, and, therefore, it is more ingenious, from the almost manifest impossibility of any body being concealed within; and yet, strange to say, the exhibitor seems to take no interest in the game, and I even think he, little understands it. By what magic the machine is directed, I know not. - 'We hi iii.- t point, whotn& branded two years since by Iris own political friends with the guilt of having made a corrupt Trea ty with the Indians, and as a politician who has ever been vacillating between the two parties—ho has not the confidence of either.” Athens, June 22, 1827. ! The final Examination of the Senior Class of Franklin Collrge, took place on the 18th and J 9th mst. The exercises, we understand, were highly creditable and satisfactory. Among the Trustees in attendance was our distinguished fellow-citizen Wra. H. Crawford. own country, at the time of the general f j only S ay if a cunning devil has been peace, has justly procured you the hatred of j brought to preside over the European your countrymen. England had a right to ; instrument, our Western ingenuity has a large indemnity for the enormous expen ses she had supported: by this means, she might have removed from her the immense burthen by which she is weighed down, and of which-she perhaps feels at this moment the fatal consequences. Newspapers in Germany.—In Berlin, in addition to the multitude of other journals and periodicals, there appear at this time, a morning, a mid-day, an evening, and a midnight Gazette. The latter, so far from being sleepy, is said to be the most lively of them all, being edited by the celebrated poet Mullner. There is also announced as near ly ready for publication in Berlin, Die Nar- renzeiturg, (the Fool’s Gazette) to appear tiirce times a week. Interesting from the Arctic Land Expedi-' Hon.—The editor of the Detroit Gazette has received a letter from Saut de St. Marie, dated April 29th, informing that despatches had been received there from the expedition under the direction of Captain Franklin. ** When the bearer left Fort Franklin, in October, the members of the party were in fine health, and greatly exhilarated by the success with which their enterprise had been crowned during the preceding summer.— They have established the fact -of the con tinuity of water communication from the mouth of the Coppermine to M’Kenzie river, and from'thence have pushed their exami nations as far as one hundred and forty-nine degrees and thirty-eight minutes west longi tude. At this point, they were compelled by the density of the fog, to relinquish the design of proceeding to the Pacific Ocean by Jay Cape. The botanist during the ab sence of the exploring party from the Fort, has been engaged in investigating the vege- v fable productions of the Taskatochawin country. ■ ' ■ | A** We may calculate that the reading ’$^(l&wiU be gratified with n view of the de tails of this expedition, early in the coming Maputo Capt.

From intelligence : ^M»he relied on, we feel authorised to say, that they will be spared those lessons of human endurance with detracted so much from the pleasure their former narrative af forded, aud which, in fhslfjfirst enterprise,! were no less .attributable to their own im* providence, than to-the cupidity of the then rival Fur Companies.” " ^ Females in holy.—The country was all in (bloom, and the flowery plains exhibited a 'gaiety of landscape, which can hardly be ; conceived in less sunny climes. But the invoked a still more cunning devil to direct this. There is one point, and one only, in which Mr. Maelzel has the advantage—he plays a better game; but practice, and the patronage which this ought to and must re ceive, will improve it. To conclude—the only reason which can render this Automa ton less attractive than the other, is, that it lias not been transported from a -foreign shore ; and the reason which should induce ten times more, every onq to patronise it, is, that it is the production of Yankee ingenuity, nursed on the borders of one of our New York lakes. Strange, that the European Automaton, which in all Europe has been the wonder, almost the Miracle, of seventy years, has not been a year in our new coun try, before a successful—I had almost said, an improved—copy arises to eclipse it. JMysterious Marriage.—A lady dressed in the most elegant style, walking past the Hbrse Guards early in the morning of Thurs day, addressed a private soldier belonging to the Foot Guards, in the following manner: —Lady : Soldier, are you a single man ?— The Soldier (confused and astonished at the question put to him) replied that he was.—Lady: Then, soldier will you have me for your wife ?—Soldier (still more con fused :) I have no objection, madam.— Lady : Then come with me. I have a li cense and a ring (taking them out of her re ticule,) and we will be married immediate ly.—^The lady then called a hackney coach from the stand, and proceeded to St. -’s Church, where they were married. Imme diately on their return the lady stepped into the coach (first handing the bridegroom 20 sovereigns,) telling him that she would send for him in the evening, and afterwards pur chase his discharge. She then ordered the coachman to drive forward, and from that time to the present the soldier has never seen nor heard from his bride! It is scarce ly possible to conjecture what could have been the lady’s motives, unless she wished, for some particulat purp ose. to shew the certi ficate of her marriage. The soldier says he only regrets it in one sense, which is, that he has * wife and no wife.’—London Paper. An Infant Janus.—A child was lately born in Baris, which lived for a quarter of an hour, having two faces : and all the organs belonging to-them namely, those of taste, sight, and fmell, double. No doubts remain of the success of Bru nei’s great enterprise of forming aroad under the Thames. The work is finished for the distance of 5Q0 feet. We presume the Our Village.—It would be a complex undertaking to develope the progress of knowledge and refine ment, in its prevailing state, in almost any place; but an investigation always presents the existence of populous towns, where constant social intercourse freely and rapidly impart their elements from one to another, as first among their most active promoters: and in proportion to the intercourse the surrounding inhabitants have with such places, will they be im bued with these qualities. We should therefore es teem it of consequence with those who desire their prevalence, to have in view the culture of such ex citing causes.—The advantages of this town to bear a distinguished character for exercising such an in fluence, is excelled by none in the state, if those ad vantages were judiciously improved. Situated in a singularly beautiful and romantic spot, amidst a fer tile country of uncommon healthiness and mildness of temperature, it wants but a gentle touch from the hand of order anjl taste to make it one of great at traction and delight in recreative visits from those whose interests or circumstances constrain them to abide in Jess gifted places, as also to those who seek a retreat from tha intensity and ills of summer in the tower countries.—The most obvious deficiency, is the want of one or more neatly regulated streets, shaded paths might often invite the ai*d afiord- frequent opportunities ive the friendly token of recognition, miliar with the countenance of the cularly enabling ladies to encounter the meeting tii'view of strangers with, more compo sure;ease, and grace, than is conspicuously other wise, where no facilities to practise'it, are found; while it would amazingly increase the value of the property in the consideration of the tasteful and fashionable, when in pursuit of an agreeable situa tion on which to erect a-dwelling. On two or thtee of our streets it would cost little beside arousing the disposition to effect it; and we hardly need detail the influence that neatness and order in' things around us has on both our personal habits and ideas, as well as temper, to aid the argument for the ex pediency of its immediate commencement. . An article in .the Macon Messenger of the 12th im-t. which will be found ensuing, although not given as positively authentic, forbodes should it prove true, an intention on the part of the Creek Indians to multi ply obstructions to a peaceable possession and en joyment of th6 soil now claimed by virtue of the Old Treaty as the property of the State. The present difficulties are said to be attributable to the influence of designing Cherokees whose object it is to divert attention from the claims which Georgia has upon the Territory now in their possession, and to which the public mind cannot hut revert so soon as the dif ficulties growing out of the Creek controversy shall ha* e been finally adjusted. The early agitation of this question is a duty which the State owes to her self—a duty which she owes the Indians, as the ti which now binds them to the land of their fathers must sooner or later be severed—their existence as a nation—the preservation of their character from that moral degradation, consequent on. existing associa tions requires the sacrifice. Their occupancy of the soil, to which the State has an undisputed right, has long been permitted,,though courtesy to an affected humanity, more*.destructive to their true interest than any policy, nowever rigid, no matter what its object, which would result in the preservation and perpetuity of their original manners and habits.— Time, and the experience of every age, has, we be lieve, clearly demonstrated the impracticability of incorporating into their natures those principles and feelings constituting the distinction between civi lized and uncivilized beings. The Republican papers of the State, devoted to the support of Col. Campbell, (for such they have styled themselves,) in contradistinction to the ‘ Federal pa pers,’ advocating the cause ofMr.Forsyth, have of late affected much surprise at the political presumption of Mr. F»s friends in continuing to consider him as a candidatefor the Gubernatorial chair. Among other subterfuges to which the partisans of this gentleman have resorted for the purpose of diverting public at tention, is that of his not having, been officially an nounced—ergo. he is po candidate—ergo, he will not be ergo, he tbmildftnt be named as one. What ever doubts may exist among those who would not have him regarded as such, among those (not a few in number) who would, there is but one impression .prevailing, that he is, and will continue to remain, the most prominent of the two. The cause of Mr. Forsyth, could the assertions of his political adver saries be relied on, would appear to be as desperate as Gen. Jackson’s is represented by the presses of the coalition; and that barely eleven, if that number remains who have not bowed the knee to this idol of republican devotion. The following extract of a let ter from one of the western counties to a gentleman in this place, handed us for publication, bearing a dif ferent character, is given as an evidence of the state of public feeling in the section where'it was written, “ Touching the approaching fall elections, it is not my qpinion that they yrill produce much excitement in this section of the State. With regard to the Go vernor’s election, Mr. Forsyth has been so long and so advantageously known to native Georgians, as well as to those whb have, within a few years back, emigrated from ether States, -as an. able statesman, and accomplished diplomatist, that, generally speak ing, party prejudice will be'sacri“ public good, and he who a few contended for, and consummat rest at the Court of Madrid, ai stood by his oira Statfc. _ foreboding, threw around hi his genius, a halo of light and ignorance and prejudice fled treihbled on its throne, will "be supported.

The Southern ^States*—Firm in their patriotism, liberal’ in their policy, uncom promising in their pqlitical honesty, they re quire no sectional legislation to promote their prosperity. 3. The Hon. James Hamilton, Jun.—The fidelity with which he has guarded our in terests—the zeal, firmness and ability with which he has resisted encroachments on our rights, secure him our unqualified approba- ti 00 * - .... Mr. Hamilton said, that however pro foundly sensible he was of the kindness at his friends, who were now assembled, and however flattering Ihe expression of their good will, as indicated by the sentiment \\ith which he had just been favoured, he never theless hoped to employ these tokens of their regard, rather as incentive to future exertions to be useful, than as memorials far the gratification of self-love. This was tne only suitable return it was in his power to make,for tffiLconfidcnce and indulgent good ness of the generous and high-minded free men he had the honor to represent. He assured them that this spontaneous manifestation of Jtheir approbation of his public conduct, brought with it a peculiar and emphatic gratification. At the organization of the present Admin istration, he, on principle, U-ul taken his ground against it, without stopping to in quire whether such a course would he popu lar, where he had the utmost interest to please. He had not, however, long to wait to be satisfied, that the sentiments of a vast majority of those whom he represented, on this great public question, were in accordance with his own. That.iyitn himself, they had regarded the election of Mr. Adams, con summated as it was by his league with Mr. Clay, as a most perilous cause, in the shape of a most pernicious example tc the Rail Roads.—A great deal of interest and atten tion appears to be arising throughout the States to wards this mode of passage and transportation; and. from an instance or two of their profitable applica tion, the opinion seems gradually gaining ground, that they will be far more advantageous, and ulti mately supersede canals, on account of their greater security, permanency of repair, serviceableness un interrupted by weather, and as being less costly.— It may likewise be questioned whether the inert bo dies of water .(arming a canal, do not interfere with tin; health of the country through which they pass, especially where they continue on a level for a long distance in a flat and warm situation.—The experi ments hitherto made, leave the gain in velocity be yond all comparison in favour of Rail-roads, so that on the course of one, distance would lose the power it possesses in other cases: this fact, and the pos sible extension of them from one extremity of the union to another, originates a highly agreeable idea in the effect it r/oulu have of evaporating those anxie ties & uncertainties existing between separated con nexions by quick transportation of mails, and cheap and rapid passage.—But the mole prominent fea ture of contrivances to transport merchandize or produce at a.low charge, is the power they will have in regulating the value of property. Whatever dif ference of price an article may hear at the place of its production and a distant market, must, generally, be owing to the difficulties in getting it there; and if those difficulties be at once subverted, the property which produces it, is immediately raised in value to the amount of any similar property contiguous to the market; and so in proportion as they may be sur mounted.—The surface of Georgia, we beiieve, is of as favourable a nature to their construction as any part of the United States, if not mere so ; and it is perhaps in accordance with her best interests that some of the papers within her boundaries have given the subject a favourable notice. A little reflection must convince every one, that while such powerful exertions are making in other places to give effect to their physical powers, those who depend on the re sult of unaided labour to maintain a profitable in tercourse with them, act as unwisely as would person who should depend on his natural powers of defence, when he had in prospect a contest with another who had arrayed himself with weapons and armour. The following patriotic letter of resignation from Richard W. Habersham, Esq., U. States Attorney, for the District of Georgia, fully explains the motive which led to the adoption of such a measure. It re flects the highest credit on this gentleman, and should be regarded as one of the /hr instances of a personal sacrifice of interest to patriotic principles, combining al the same time, obedience to the au thority under which he acted, and to the claims of fidelity imposed by his native State. District Attorset’r Office, ) Savannah, 25th February, 1827. > To the Hon. Henry Clay, Secretary of State of the U. States. Sir—On the 22d inst. 1 received from the Honour able the Secretary at War, a communication under date of the 30th January, ultimo, instructing me to procure and place in the hands of the Marshal of this District, a w arrant for the arrest of certain per sons charged with being engaged in surveying the lands of the Creek Indians, contrary to the Laws of the United States and the Treaty of Washington.— In compliance with the requirement of the President, I addressed a letter under date of the 23d inst. to Colonel John Crowell, Agent of the Creek Indians, requesting him, as soon as might he practicable, to send to this place, such witnesses as are necessary, and could he procured, for the purpose of establish ing before the District Judge the facts, on %vhich to found a w arrant of arrest, and delivered the same to Lieutenant Vinton, who left this yesterday for. the Creek Agency. Oo the same day I communicated to the Honourable the Secretary it War, a copy of that letter, and stated, that as soon as the warrant could be obtained, I would deliver to the Marshal, such instructions as would be necessary for his guidance. Thus much I have felt it my duty to do, in compliance with the order above referred to, be cause I did not think myself at liberty, by a resigna tion of my commission, to create delay in the pro ceedings, or to leave the interests of the United States, unrepresented in this Districtr—Sometime must elapse before the arrival of the witnesses from the agency, and I therefore avail myscif of the inter val thus afforded, to communicate through you, most respectfully to the President, that neither my feel ings, nor convictions, will permit me to prosecute the case in behalf of the United States.—In a contest in which the interests and character of Teorgia are so future character anti fortunes Of our govern- deeply involved, I should feel myself unworthy of the office I hold, and of the confidence which the Presi dent has hitherto reposed in me, if, contrary to my own views of right, and the higher duties I owe to my native State, I could array myself against her, If, therefore, it becomes necessary that further pro ceedings should be had in this matter, I have no al ternative but to tender back to the President, the trust w’hich has been confided to me—a trust which for eight years, I have faithfully and zealously dis charged, and which I only relinquish, because I can no longer retain it with honour to myself. I have the honour to be, Sir, with great respect, your obedient servant, RICH. W. HABERSHAM. The “ Western Carolinean,” retails, under the title of ‘ (unis natures,’ an account a calf produced in Pennsylvania, which, among other particulars, ‘had a head very much resembling a bill-dcg's ” Perhaps it may have been a bull-calf, which will at once account for it, as the dog is so named from the resemblance in that respect, and not for any similar ity of character. Dinner to Mr. Hamilton of S. Carolina.— The inhabitants of St. Paul’s Parish, being anxious to testify their deep sense of the meritorious services of their useful and able Representative, James Hamilton, Jun. Esq. resolved to invite him to partake of a public dinner at the Parish House on the Willtown Road. They, at the same time, resolved tc. invite as guests those distin guished citizens and faithful public servants Colonels Hayne and Drayton. All of these gentlemen having accepted the invi tation, Wednesday, the l(»th ultimo, was set apart as the day of celebration. On this day the meeting was numerous and highly- respectable, and the company sat down to dinner at 3 o’clock—Dr. John Ramsey was called to preside, assisted by’Messrs. Tho mas Smith, Jun. and Wm. Washington ; during the whole time the greatest hilarity and harmony prevailed. After dinner, the following Toasts were drank. 1 -The Constitution of the United States. merit, and he believed he was warranted in asserting, that there was as little disagree ment in opinion between them, that the only mode of removing the contagion of this ex ample, was by the constitutional expulsion of the present incumbent from power, as a fit atonement to the violated purity of our institutions. It was unnecessary for him to tell them that those who were engaged in the strug gle to effect this object, and whose public duties brought them in .immediate contact with the Government, had been made the objects of the most unrelenting abuse and detraction. Their motives had been dis paraged, and their public conduct grossly misrepresented. There seemed to be those in the country who pushed the virtue of loy alty to those in authority, so far, that they appeared to think it was a sort of treason to the constitution to question the purity of the alliance of Messrs. Adams and Clay, or the wisdom and usefulness of their acts. This fact recalled to his mind, an ac count which he had just seen of an admi nistration meeting in Boston, which it ap pears was convened for the purpose of ena bling the members of Congress from that city to administer to the federalists and de mocrats of that place an amalgam in the shape of a love-powder, which, as a sudo rific in sweating down all former party fe vers, was to make the subjects of this Pana- cia roar lustily, “ for the powers that be.” If this gentleman had confined himself to the most unlimited adulation 'of the admin istration, he should have certainly felt very little disposition to notice a pursuit which is likely to prove so thrifty; but it has pleas ed him, in the exuberance ef an eloquence which has been called “ godlike,” in sub stance to stigmatize the opposition of Mr. Adams, as “ angry and undiscriminating,” and “ in determined hostility to every mea sure, right or wrong and also to assert, “ that the reason for the opposition to the Administration, as far as he knew, was sim ply that Mr. Adams “ had been chosen The converse of the proposition is undoubt edly true, that if he had not been elected, wo should not have been in opposition. This gentleman, however, knew perfectly well that this was not the ground openly and fearlessly avowed by those opposed to Mr. Adams ; but as it suited hi3 purpose to vio late a common rule of fairness in controver sy to state the opinions of your adversary, but rather to content yourself with exposing their fallacy, his candour is not to be won dered at. He Icnotvs that the grounds of opposition rest on the fact, even admitted by their op ponents, that Mr. Adams was not the choice of a majority of the people of the United States ; and further, that they have affirmed the belief, that his election in the House of Representatives, was a corrupt and wanton j neglect of the popular will—the result ex-* clusively of a bargain among a few individ uals for their own private interests. And further, that they have distinctly avowed their conviction if the people of the United Stales sanction his first election in the House of Representatives by re-electing him for a second term, that in future our Chief Magistrate will be elected by, if pos sible, worse means in a worse than Polish diet; and it will come to pass that the ex treme medicine of the Constitution will he its daily food. He said that he knew this gen'Ieman ■ would meet him at the very threshold of these allegations, with a challenge for his proof of the bargain between Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay; and, as the gentleman was a lawyer, he would probably insist-on apply ing to the case the doctrines of the statutes of frauds, that nothing should be considered as a contract which was not reduced to wri ting. Such; indeed, was the scepticism of the friends of the Administration, that they reversed the maxim. “that circumstances r
