Tin Raihcmt Tunnel.—Liverpool, June 14.
—On Saturday last the final communication
lietween the shafts of the Railway Tunnel was
effected; and there is now an uninterrupted
passage from the intended depot hear Wap-
ping, to the deep cutting at Kdge-ltill, The
mngnilicent work is about 2200 yards in length,
2? feet wide, and 16 feet high; it is almost
entirely cut through the solid rock, which in
several instances is so shattered and broken,
and occurs in such thin bo s, or layers, as to
render it necessary to insert an arch of brick
work for the security of the roof. The drop
pings of water, which issued in many places
through the pores of the rock, have been suc
cessfully stopped bv the application of Roman
cement. We understand that preparations are
making for lighting it with gas, and when this
is done, the public will be admitted to a sight
of it. It is expected that there will bo a suffi
cient current of air from the bottom to the top,
to answer nil the purposes uf ventilation.
J,noking at the extent and magnitude of this
undertaking, with all the difficulties insepara
ble from such a work, and considering that it
is little more tlmn,oightecn months since it was
. commenced, (during which time no less than
' 160,000 tons of stone have been removed
•■from beneath the surface, and made subservi
ent to the purposes of improvement above.)
we cannot but be astonished at the rapidity of
the operations which have effected it. We re
gret to say that the opening of the canal com
munication on Saturday afternoon was attend

our troops had on one hand to support the en

overcoming all obstacles, and soon reached the
right bank of the Danube.
In this brilliant affair the Danube was cross

oppose the construction of our bridge, which
will be finished in two or three days.
Camp o f Satounova, 11 Ih June, 9 P. Jlf.
Our troops forced the passage of the Danube
on the morning of the 8th.
On the 9lh, the passage of our troops was
continued. The works required for establish
ing a bridge was commenced with groat acti
vity. At It A. M. the remainder of tho su
burbs of Isaktscha was burned by tho enemy.
In the afternoon the emperor himself set foot
on the Turkish territory. He traversed the

same manner*as has been done in most of the
status of the American Union. The bill pro
poses to extend the jurisdiction bf the county
court to all debts under 10 pound. The pro
ceeding are to bo made ns simple and intelli
gible as possible. Long declarations, full of
technicalities, and drawn up with a nice atten
tion to the rule of rpcrinl pleading, are dispen
sed with. For example. In tho case of nn
action brought for goods sold, the form is the
following :—“ A. 11. complains of C. D. that
he owes him ten pounds, for goods delivered
on the first of March, 1827.” Tho cases are

EXTRACTS FROM RUSSIAN RULLETtNS.
Camp of Satminmca, nth June, 1829.
"Thoquissngo of the Danube was retarded by
the unusual rise of the river. The more diffi
cult labors had been executed in the course of
» few days, on a space of nearly four worst! for
constructing a mound in the middle of the ri
vet. We soon reached that past of the hank
which was to support the bridge; hut tho ene-
oy, profiting by an unavoidable delay, had
’ortued entrenchments nn the hank of the Da-
lube as far as the gates of Isaktscha, had
nounted them with cannon, nnd announced
he intention of disputing the passage.
After having given his commands relative to
(i* tyioans of dislodging the enemy on the nj>-
osite ban.k. his majesty repaired to the cnnip
ccupied by the regiments of Tsclu rnigoff and
‘oltnwa. A solemn Te Deum was there
ung, invoking the Divine protection in this
ccisive moment- At one o’clock on the
torning of tito Sth, his majesty was on a rising
round at the commencement of the mound
lading to the Danube. At the dawn of day
battery of 24 twelve-pounders, which had
een constructed for silencing the fire of the
’urkifb batteries, opened a cannonade in con-
the morning, mid soon became brisk; hut the
ship of the Turkish Admiral shortly lo vored
her flag, and some hours after 25 more Turk
ish vessels were taken, sunk, burned, or
stranded. The six vessels remaining to tho
Ottomans took refuge under thj caanon of tho
fort of Malchine-
Private letters received by tho same courier
show that the reports of tho bulletins are by
no means exaggerated. They slate that 20
pieces of cannon, instead of 15, were found in
the works which the Turks had raised to op.
pose tho passage of the river, and which they
were furred to nhandon. They also mention
tho excessive difficulties that had lo he sur
mounted in establishing the bridge for tho ar
my to pass. Two regiments of Cossacks
crossed the Danube on the 10th, in boats, the
men holding their horses, which swam across.

n\;r between Colombia and Peru.—By tho Bimkor-
Mill, arrived at Now York from Carthagcna, in tho
short passage of 17 Hays, the Editor, of the Journal of
Commerce have received Carthagena papers to tho
20th July. From them we learn that a war is upon the
point of breaking out between Colombia and Pern.—
The Editors nr that paper assign the following aa the
reasons for a prosecution of a war on the part of the
Colombians.
The causes which have given rise to this de
claration of war by Colombia', against the sis
ter republic of Peru, are, according to the Edi
tor of tho Carthagena Gazette, of a setious and
manifold character. Ho enumerates them in
the following order:—
The atrocious nttempt to induce a portion of
the Colombian army to turn their army against
their mother country—the claim of Peru to
dominion over three of the departments of Co
lombia, and her endeavouring to unite them to
her territory—her prohibiting the Colombian
nmbsnssndor from displaying over his resi-
donee the flag of his country, n banner which
so often led the Peruvians to conquest. Ha
ving, without the least provocation, nnd with
out a previous declaration of war, invnded Bo
livia, the friend nnd ally of Columbia. Having
commenced hostilities against an infnnt com
monwealth, which is indebted to the Liberator
of both Colombia und Peru, for its wise insti
tutions, its natural preponderance, nnd the ho
nour of hearing his illustrious name. Insult
ing in their ministerial prints the republic of
Colombia, her President, herarmv, and every
thing oonneeted with the nation: depriving the
Colombian army of thoso indemnities which
had been granted to the soldiery, in mootm
pense for the blood which their eountrymon
had sited for the liberties of Peru, and thereby
violated the faith of treaties.

GEORGIA, CLARK COUNTY.
Superior Court, August Term, 1828,
W B the Grand Jury of Chirk county,selected and
ch 'sen to seivc at this Term of the Court,
would premise, that \v» fear from the frequency of Pre
sentments, it has beumo a matter of course, and view
ed as such, by too many of our citizens. What wc
propose by way of pres* ntments, or grievances, is not
tho result of a single week’s hasty deliberation, but to
many of us, it has been a cau9t ofdeep regret for years
past. That we as a nation are permitted to live under
the happiest government now in existence cannot be
disputed, and for winch let us feel thinkful; but that
man is yet an imperfect being and sisceptible of pro
gressive improvement is equally true, u a civil, politi
cal, as w*dl a« a mural point of view.
Wo nresent ft* ft grievance the present method of
choosing Justices of the peace, due believe that a
change of the system would be higliy conducive to
the public interest. An experience ol twelve years id
sudicient to convince an intelligent community, that
this branch of our judiciary, so important to the jieace
and good order of society, to the administration of jus
tice in criminal cases preparatory to their final investi
gation, and to the collection of the small debts of the
c unty, is in a situation calculated to involve, its cha
racter in great disrepute, to diminish tlie confidence of
the people in its usefulness, and to produce the most
serious mischief to the best interests of the cominnuity,
and recommend this subject to the attention ol our Re
presentatives in the Legislature.
Wo consider as a grievance, and as one of growing
magnitude, the pernicious practice of retailing spirits to
negroes, and that on the Sabbath day; they collect in
unlawful numbers, to the prejudice and discredit of our
county, and more especially in our villages, where it is
expected and more completely in the power of our cor
porate bodies to enact and enforce i&ws for the sup
pression of such evils; and wc would hero remark, that
one of the principal causes of so nueh disorder of this
kind, is the almost entire neglect,or improper manner,
in which the patrol laws arc attended to. We do there
fore hope, that our officers, whose duty it is to see that
this law is not violated, will be more vigilant in the
discharge of this important duly.
The situation of our public Roads and Bridges, al
though a subject of presentment at almost every previ
ous term,yet remain without any apparent amendment.
We do not for a moment hesitate to say that our Inferior
Court have been too remiss in his particular duty.
We recommend to our next representatives in the
Legislature, tho necessity of more particularly detining
the duty of Grand Jurors, as to the time when they are
■considered Grand Jurors.
We recommend also,' the passage of a law for the
purpose of defraying the expenses of Grand and l’etit
Jurors, during the sitting ol the courts of this county,
out of the fund fo county purposes.
So far os has been in our power, wc have examined
the state of the county funds, as rendered by the Clerk,
iWoOVv.- .»r few i>uo» ful.O, MUI u being
impossible for us to go into a minute examination for
want of time, request, that the Judge appoint a commit
tee to examine the state of the county funds, to coll for
vouchers, and report their proceedings to the next
Grand Jury, and that in future, proper vouchers shall
al ways accompany the exhibit of tire Clerk of the court,
of the state of the county funds, and the olliccrs of the
poor school Fund.
We recommend to our Inferior court, the propriety of
the clerk’s keeping as matter of record,the insolvent lists
which have been examined and passed to the credit of
the Tax Collector, and that a copy be furnished to the
succeeding Collectors, whose duty it shall be to collect
all that in in their power, and a due return make of the
same, to the successive Grand Juries, to be applied to
county purposes.
Before the jury close their presentments, there is one
subject, which though not stric t within their local bu
siness of the county, yetit is one which in common with
tlie rest of tho state, materially cot corns some of its
deepest interests. We allude to the Tarifflaw. The
Jury would speak respectfully ofthe constituted author
ities of the country, but they believe tiny speak noth
ing hut the honest sentiments of the whole community,
when they say that this act, violates the true spirit,
motive and object of the confederation, That must be
a most ruinous policy which disseminates discord, jeal
ousy and ill vyill among tho citizens of a government;
that makes one portion of the people tributary and de
pendent upon another; that destroys trade; that limits
the market for the productions of the earth, and increa
ses tho prices of the necessaries ot life; that changes
the mode of revenue from a tax upon tho consumption
of articles, which makes the burthens of a people en
tirely voluntary, to that of u direct tax upon properly
which is alway absolute and sometimes intolerable;
this we conceive to he tho effects oft he Tariff; ours is n
representative government, ond it is tin* peculiar right
of the people, in all shapes, und under all modifications,
either individually or collectively, not only to speak
their opinions in reference to political measures, but to
remonstrate with their representatives concerning any
act, which is partial, unequal or oppressive. Wc
therefore most earnestly join with our fellow citizens
every wherein tho south, recommending 4 repeal of tho
act above referred to. We consider its consequences
extremely dangerous, nnd deeply deplore the extent to
which it has always provoked the irritation of the peo
ple. A wise Legislature will respect the excitement of
the country, that can have no possible motive to com
plain or be disaffected with its government, unless op
pressed beyond the point of endurance. Until this law
is repealed, wc do most heartily recommend to ourciti
zens to observe the utniosteconoiny, to live within them
selves, and by all means to encourage the planter in
his agricultural pursuits, mid to enforce by precept as
well as by example the exclusive use of cloths made at
home.
We tender to his honor Judge Underwood, and the
Solicitor, Ciceio Holt, Ksq. the thanks oft his body,for
their prompt attention to, and discharge of their offi
cial duties during the prelont Term.
Resolved, That these presentments be published in

The reserves ore generally well watered and contnitf
several good mill beats. The area of the whole cannot
be exactly known until the flatting is complctt d; but
twentv-onethousand acres is the estimated quantity con
tained in both Reserves and the adjoining fractions, ex
clusive ofthe town surveys. Perhaps no body of land

gently undulating, may be had of utmost every quality ;

from the quantity of lands and town lots, that will have

low. And lying at the head of navigation, immediate
ly around the third town of the State in population and
trade, there is every reasonable prospect of their soon
rising in value.

the last that will soon offer, of obtaining on cheap ana
very indulgent terms of payment, choice situations for
residence, for trade or limning.
