The result ofthe election In Oeorgio boa surprised

with the 25,288 of the *on* of Connecticut, men

True, thousands of the Von Buren men of Geor-

MILLEDGEVILLE, 3d I eo. 1840.
Dear Sir:—I intended to have forwarded you
last evening a package, but was not ublo to get the
Journals of the day in lima to prepare it. Most
of thi* morning's business has been consumed in
consideration of the General Tax Bill—the original
of which I forward to you. The House concurred
with the resolutions of tho Senate to-day, bringing
on tho election of U. S. Senator, to-morrow, at 3
o'clock, and adjourned until to-morrow, 0 o’cloek.
The Bills, which seem now to bo the most promi
nent before the Home, aro the Bills for tho regula
ting Taxes, and the Bill to annul the Central Bank,
and provide means for the redemption of its bills,
and aiding the Statu in its resource*. The Senate
as yet, has progressed slowly in business. But few
bills hava passed that body; however, somo business
is now in preparation.
P. S. I hnvo heard no person spoken of to fill
Mr. Colquitt'* vacancy—neither do I hear of any
opposition to Judge Berrien.
THURSDAY, 5 o'clock, P. M.
Since putting my letter in tho past office, I am
informed that Gen. Glascock will be run by the De
mocratic party for Congress, vice Judge Colquitt,
resigned. I have no ceitain information of any
other candidate.
The Senate was engaged again this afternoon on
the subject of the election of Printer, but could not
get along with it.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. *
Wednesday, D.-c. 2.
On metion of Mr. T. omks, tho order wa* sus
pended, when he made the following report, which,
together wills the bill reported by tho same Com
mittee, was made the special order for Wednesday
next, nnd 210 copies ordered to be printed.
The Committee to whom was referred the duly of
enquiring i nto the situation and management ortho
Central Bank, and into the expediency of repealing its
Charter, beg leave to report i—
We have chiefly confined our investigation to die
general management of the Bonk since the last session
oftlie Legislature, and its ailuation now, aa compared
with that period. Wcfind ilie Capital of the Bank
gradually wearing away under the pressure of Legisia
live appropriations, and its own ordinary expensts,
which ifnot arrested, will in a few year*, without the
aid of other specific legislation for that purpose, avail
but little, except ita debts to exercise the financial skill
of its future guardians.
Your Committee regret exceedingly to find that the
debt due to the I’hcDiilx Bank of New York, has not
been paid, nnd they are compelled to deem the rea
sons for tbe delay of payment given by the Directors
as wholly unsatisfactory, and their conduct relative to
lhatdebt highly censurable. The credit of the Bsnk,
the good faith anJ honor oftlie Stale, Imvo been wan
tonly sacrificed it seems for no better teaeon than the
bigli rote of Exchange, betwi en Georgia and N York,
or in other words, which give a muclt better ides of
Uie truth of the case, die credit* of the Central Brak,
wliich ita directors put into circulation as money, were
in fact worth fifteen or twenty per cent lass than mo
ney. But to allow the argument, as staled, its full
force, it was a question with which our creditor had
no concern. The Central Bank by authority of a loan
contracted the debt poynble in New York—Uie incon
venience ofour complying with our contract, wai not
the fault ofour creditor,nor,was it a sufficient reason for
us to violate that contract: but Uie high rate nf Exchange
as itis'called, was not the renl difficulty. Thatdifficuhy
consisted in uonverUng Uie credits of the Bank into mo
ney,for money,we apprehend could have been transport
ed from Georgia to N York as cheaply, during the pres
ent year,as it could when we contracted the debt. Up
on (Isis question there should bo no compromise, no
concession, no delay*. We therefore recommend
Uiat that debt be immediately paid, Uist the funds pro
videdfor Uiat purpose, shall be immediately remitted,
and Uiat the deficiency be raised from the sale uf stock
owned by die Bute in tiio Bank of Augusta, and the
Bank of Uie State of Georgia.
The act of 21st December, 1839. altering and amend
ing the Charter of the Central Bank, authorized the
Directors to sell the Stocks owned by the State in the
Bank of Augusta, Darien, Planters’ Bank, Savannah,
and Bank Statu of Georgia, at not less than par value,
and directed that money raised from such sale should
become a pait of the capital stock of said Bank. Thia
section of the act.asyour Commiuce believe, baa been
wholly evaded to the great injury of the public inte
rest. Unless the plain Ietterof the act had declared it,
we could not suppose that the Legislature intended to
sell to, and secure Bank Stocks,yielding eight percent
per annum,for simple promissory notes paynbie in five
annual instalments and bearing six per cent interest.
The act admi'a nf no such construction, yet the Dlrec
tors of Uie Central Bank first Uirew into circulation,
upon such notes, their own credits, known at Uie time
to he from 12 to tiO per cent below par, taking specie
as the basis, and then received their credits, thus do*
predated, at par, for the Bank Stocks which they sold,
-thereby exhibiting a total disregard of tbe public hue-
rear, without a parallel, except in the act which clothed
them with such power, for mischief and the public in
jury. The act, from iu very language, contemplated
that Uieir stocks should be sold for money, and Uiat
that money ahould be the basis of the issues of tbe
Bank and a fund for their redemption.
Your Committee find that the Directorchave greaUy
enlarged their bill account, “if mere promissory note*,
payable at plarea oilier than Uieir own counties, with
out nn exception not drawn ogainst produce shipped,
can be called bills.”
That account has swollen, your Committee believe,
beyond any foimer precedent in that Bank, and it is
moreover liable to bring great abuses, and ought to be
restrained of every anlutary provision of the charter,
which restrict the amount which shall belonned to any
one individual, & which is by the exercise of this power
very clearly evaded. And we find under this headpndi-
viduai accommodation* ranging from ifl,OOOtn 812,500.
And wo find another fact by no means favorable to this
kind of business, that more by one-fourth nf Uie entire
amount of bills are iusuit, notwiihslandinga vetylarce
amount nf them are not yet mentioned, and unless the
Bunk shall be more fortunate in Uieir bills yet to fall
due, than those post due, their maturity will rather
inure to the benefit of the legal profession Uian Uie
Bank. Tiie amount of promissory notes in suit are also
very large, amounting to above 8178.000. besides the
vast amount past due nnd notin suit. These facta show a
want of punctuality without a parallel in Uie history of
Banking, and rannot result otherwise than in ruinouo
loss lotneUanka , _ , , ,
Your Cormniuee find the Central Bank in possession
nf about $90,000 of Uie hills of the Darien Bank, which
have long since cessed to answer any of Uie purposes
oT money except at a great depreciation, to which Uie
State ought not pi submit, she being ultimately liable
for the redemption of seven-tenth* of them, when the
capital of that Bank shall hava been lost, if indeed that
rat remain* fobs dona. \V# would recommend that tba

It la abundantly famished by the ptactical operation of

maintain Ita credit even at its present depreciation,
without calling upon the Bute to issue iu bonds upon
the fsith oftlie property of all the people of Georgia, to
sustain loans or public credit, to a very amall portion of
Uiose people. Your Cntnmiuee are clearly of the
opinimt that these bond* ought not to be thus issu

will prevent the future recurrence of similar public
evils, whenever itean be shewn tn be prudent and
sound policy to levy money out of one citizen's pocket

Mr. Chlpley then movod that 210 copies of the

was agreed in.
Mr. Stiles then made n motion that no further

was agreed to.
After the reportofMr. Toombs, (chaiimnn of the

in the conclusion, to which it had arrived so far as
to restrain all future iaiuea of that Bank, and pro*
vid for sustaining the^present circulation by Stato
Bonds, yet he could not agree with It in the rea
sons as stated, which had led to that conclusion,
that ha had just seen the report and had not had
time to furnish his viuwa in a counter report, but
would take the earliest opportunity of furnishing
the House with the same.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 30.
Tills morning, in the Senate, Mr. Calhnun intro
duced a bill to repeal the act to restrain, prevent,end
make nenal the paying away, or tendering in puy.
ment, issuing, remitting, passing or circulating any
bank bills, note, ticket, check, draft, receipt, instru
ment under seal, or chose in action, tntendeil (design
ed or fitted for circulation, die., passed in 1837, und
generally known as tho act to prevent the issuing of
post notes,
Mr. Calhoun introduced, also, abill to repeal the
net to prevent ihecirculmion of bank bills under the
denomination of five dollars, &c.
The biennial bill wo# taken up. After much
conversation about the defects of the bill as it pass
ed at tho last session, nnd the manner It could bo
amended and perfected, the vole was taken on its
passing. The yeas were 09, nay* 13. Thera being
a constitutional nuijnrhy, the bill was pnssed. To
become a part of tho constitution, this bill has to
puss the House of Representatives also.
Mr. Kennun introduced the following preamble
and resolutions:
" Tbe Baltimore American, says, tho Packet ship*
for Havre, for some time past, have been Inking out
quantities of specie from this country, to puy our
debts to France. The Ville de Lyon, which sniled
from New York on Monday, took out $100,000 in
coin. The New York Expressintimatos that three
millions have gone in this way during some months
pusl. If it is asked why this amount of specie is
thus drawn from the country, the answer will be, to
pay for tho French silks, wines, and brandies, end
oilier luxuries consumed by us. The cost oftlie
silksimported into the United States, during the
yeur ending 30lh Sept. 1830, was nearly twenty
three millions dollars. Must of those canto from
France.
There are two considerations which present
themselves to tho mind, in view ofour commercial
iniercouso with France. One is the unequal puaiiion
which the twocoui.trics relatively occupy, initialling
a total want of reciprocity. French commodities
ore odmittted into our ports almost free of duties.
Under this system, the exports from France to this
country have increased with astonishing rapidity.
To this excessive liberality on our part, there id no
corresponding liberality on the part nf France, the
reverse being thoca-e. While the United Slate go
on to oneextiemo, Franre goes to the other. Wo
admit her commodities on the most favorable terms
whilst she imposes upon ours the most onerous res
triclions. Hrr duties on American Tobacco range
from five hundred to eight hundred per cent., and
in addition to this, no compolionof buyers is allow
ed. The Goverement hold* tho monopoly, nnd is
the exclusive purchaser.
It is tireless to talk of reciprocity and to complain
of injus'ice, while the royal monupoly is profitable,
und the market in this country continues open to
French goodi. The French Government beholds o
rich revenuo fl-iwing into its treasury from their to
bacco duties, and they witness n growing demand
for French good* in theae United Slates. Why
should a chunge be deilrahehy France? Thus then
stands our relation with France. We receive her
silks, brandies and wines almost without duty, and
when in return we seek admittance for our tobacco,
site refuses, except by heovy restrictions. Thocon
sequence is, specie mutt go from this country to pay
our French debt. But am French silks, wines and
brandies, articles of necessity which we cannot do
without? This leads to the second consideration in
volved in this subject, and in view of it we may sen
a n other reason why a good (-olicy would be consult
ed In iayingduties upou those commodities of French
'reduction: it is that they are articles of luxury, the
iurden oftlie duties would fall not on the poor, hut
in the wealthy, or on those who might choose,
through vanity or love of iudulgbtice to make us* of
them.
Therefore, be it resolved, That our Senaror* in
Congress be instructed, and our representative* re
quested, to use their best efiortsto haven law pass
ed at the ensuing session of Cougress, to tax all
French wines, silks and braudio-, in proportion to
the one whjch they lay upon our tobacco in thoir
ports.
And be il further resolved, That his Excellency
the Governor cotiso a copy oftlie nhove prettmblo
and reroliitinn to be transmitted to carh ofour Seua
tors and representatives iu Congress.
In llm House this morning a motion was made to
reconsider so much of the juurnnl of Saturday, as
relates to the passing of the resolution admitting
thi claim of the heirs of David McCullough, which
was lost.
On motion of Mr, Whitfield the House suspended
tho urderofthe day for the purpose of taking up tha
bill introduced by him to provide far raising a fund
to redeem tbe hills of the Central Bank in specie.
The Bill was referred to the select committee on tha
Central Bank, with instructions to report on il on to
morrow.

bering n population of 150,000,000, extending from
tho Indies to the Burmapontra rivers, will ho turned
upon the Caleatiai empire.
By Cast Christopher himself wo learn vrrbolly,
that tho Chini'su were not in the least alarmed at
the f.irco the British have brought against them,
and npnearod to bo indiflVront at iheoifouts of the
blockade. They may rulherlike sumo clinngo than
otherwise. The general opinion was that the lilurk
ode would be enforced until some settlement could
be efti-cted, either in one nr two yaars.
European discipline, stonrn power, military expo
rience, nnd eveiy element of civilized art, will unite
In this movoment. If tho Chinese are disintiilh-d
with tlu-ir government, wu should not be surprised
if tha English were to excite a revolution in iliopto
vinces,und do as they did in HindosUn, turn ono
provinre out upon the other, and make them do
tho fighting, wliilu they honefiued by tltn conflict.
The next Amorican vessels to sail from Moron,
wore thu Niantic.the Pmiuma.the Washington uml
Kosciusko, each of which will bring us vory iut|n>r-
tant news. As tho British Queen from this port,
and the Acadia from Boston, sail to-murrow, for
England, we should not be surprised if they carried
there tha first intelligence of ilm arrival of the Brit
ish Admiral in tho Chinese waters.
MOVEMENTS OF THE CHINESE.
Macao, 4th July, 1840.
Thare remains no longer a doubt aa to tbo authen
tlcily oftlie Proclamation we published Inst week,
in which the Chinese ofl*er rewards to soldit-r* und
the common people fertile taking and destroying of
ships of wnr and merchant vessels, and forthe tok
Ing or killing of Englishmen. The document hns
beon seen bore hung up in tho Tsotang's office nnd
wo have since heard from nativas that copies ofthe
sumo documents have been sent to them by their
friends in Canton. Muiilattd us the copy was from
wliich tha translation in tho pres* was mode, wo
never doubted its being reitlly the genuine produc
tion of governor Lin. Wo hear moreover Hint 500
mon are daily expected to reinforce the gnrrison at
thu barrier.
MOVEMENTS OF THE BRITISH.
The Commodore Sir J.G. Breamer arrived hero
with a powerful naval force and 15 iranspmt* on the
21st of Juno—on the 25th ho issued nnoliconfu
blticknde to be es<abli*lied on 'Ariel after ilia 20tli
June, of tho ritei nnd port of Canton by all iu en
trances, and the following day ho proceeded to tho
northward with a considerable portion of the force,
leaving Cept. Smith, the Settlor i.fhcer, herewith one
large nnd one small frigate, and two sloop of wur,
and an nmed steamer. Tim announcement of this
blockade washniled generally as a long desired and
nbsolutely necessary mensure.nnd aa tslgii llint
mailer* were now to boconductod in earnest, al
though there is no doubt some more declsivo blow
was expected, end from all wo can collect had been
fully determined on, bat fur soma motives ofexpc-
diency deferred for tho present. Amongst tho
Chinese authorities and people generally, both In
Canton and here, we knew that tho nlntm end ex
citement were very great. The 28th arrived, nnd
no blockading squadron mada its appearance, but
remained in Cap-slng-moon.forty miles dLiant from,
end out of eight of, the Bogue forts, and nearly ten
miles from and we believe out of sight of the regu
lar, and Indeed only channel for shins proceeding
into port, nnd, as fur as wo know, there it rtmulh*
innetivo still. Mennwdillu two American ships en
tered the portonor ufter 28th, nndChineso salt nnd
grain-junks are entering daily. On tho morning of
the 28th a sloop of warappeared in Macao reads
announcing the approach of Admiral Kliioit.and
sniled aw ay aanln to rejoin him. The/, Admiral’s
shin Itsair, with tha other* In company, anchored
In Macnn road* about half post 3 P, M. of that dov,
and left og*in early on the morning of the 30th,also
for the northward, supposed to be Cliusnn, accom-
R anied by Copt. C. Elliot nnd hi* Secretary, and
Ir. Morrison, the Chinosa imerpretnr.
We have mentioned tho arrival of tho Admiral
on tho 28lh, because we li ive hoard it surmisral
that Captain Smith’* operations were controlled by
his arrival, it.dned, there is a report thut the block
ading squadron was under weigh for the Dacca
Tigris, and wo* recalled bv orders from the Admi
ral. This we considi r impossible, nothing now
being promulgated. A fur different course do we
expect from Admiral Elliot, and in a voty few days
wc feel quite certain that account* from tho Eusi
coast will furnish convincing proof* of his decision
of character, such os will electrify Lin and hit self
sufficient advisers, and make the shock felt from
onn extremity of tho Empire to the other. Under
any circumstonces, however, the Admiral's arrival
could not hava beon known at the Cop-sing-moon
before one P, M. of she 28th, and , wo contend that
according tn ilia true Interpretation of the Notice,
Captain Smith should have been at that litno, and
twelve hour* previous, enforcing thu lilockado ut tho
Bocca Tigris and oilier entrances.

tad not she beon ouimaiiofliivored by thesteamcr.-
The inaction of the blockading squadron hitherto
is involved ia some mystery, but now that Captain
Smith is enabled to act, we bavo much mistaken
him if he does not act with energy, and carry things
withu high hand, and wo need not say thnt there is
liitlo doubt of Ilia being ably seconded by Cuptain
Warren, This meosure will, wa have no doubt,

OPERATIONS OF THE CHINESE.
From Canton we have latoly not heard any news
of much interest, except that considerable excite
ment prevails as to the movements uf the Engllih,
and as to the measures the Chinese authorities may
take. By some of the Chinese it was thought that
in case of the English opnroaching Canton, (ho
whole of the population of tho suburbs would be
made to retire within the city wails, and apprehend
ing this, many of the wealthier nenplo have removed
into tbe country with bag and baggage. Apprehen
•ions ofinsurreciiontamongihe people, now thrown
out of employment by the cessation of the foreign
trade, were also entertained, and it wns thought
that they might possibly break out, immediately af
.ter all tho foreigners shall have leftCnnron. The
fury of tha populace would in that rose probably ba
first directed to the Hongs and warehouses of the
Hong merchant*. Most of the foreigners by our left
advices from Canton either hnd left or wore about
to leave, so thnt within the next week we suppose
there will be nono remaining. Numerous aro the
garrisons now in the provincial city, hut whether
they bo intended to act against no invading enemy
or tha refractory people it is difficult ro sny. No
Ipss than seventeen culprits were executed in Can
ton nbout a fortnight silica, for having provided tho
English at Cup-sing moon wills provLiuns. Gover
nor Lin, it is said, does not manifest nnv unoaiinesa
at tho expedition; soma say he is grievously ill, and
that ho spit blood not many dny* slnco, but we hnvo
so often heard of hit sickness when ha was enioying
the best possible health, that we know not whether
this repott deserves credit. Another report about
him is that h* has by bribery and extortion amsised
nii enormous property. Ha however, by attending
to his own private concerns, does not loose sight of
his hatred of tbe English, and to reprsantthem to
the Emperor in the most despicable fight, be boa
even lidded to tha report of tbe Queen's marriage,
which he got translated from the Macao papers, tho
grossest and most indecant calumnies respecting
Her Majesty, which it would be highly unS*coml*f
In ns to repeat. Certainly Lh'e character do** oat
jmprora upon closer acquaintance,
additional, with
Tho victim frequently expire* under these tortures,
and if ids Innocence is aftrrwnrds mardfe-trd.no re
poratinn for these injuries is ever thought of. Should
the person suspected of tha crime, hnvo timely no
tice of his intendud arrest, and r*capo,then Ida near
ast and dearest relations, such a* wifr, father, mo-
thei, children, brothers, and sisters, will all he
thrown into adnngcon, and frequently perish there
from want and ill treatment. Such is Chinese jus
tlco In prnctico, and let us ask, will tho British Gov
ernment ever assent to see its subjects expnsod to
these horrors? Every postiblo precaution will be
token to ensure the personal safety of Englishmen
in China, as if they were nmong their own poopln,
RETURN OF DOCTOR PARKER.
By thu Niontlo the Rev. Doctor Pater l'nrkrr Is,
we lo irn, nbout to take his passage for New York
to revisit foru short timo his native country, his prl
vote aflfair* rendering this visit necessary. Every
one hero ncquinied with tho Doctor’s benevolence,
untl the extent to which it was exercised in his pro
fession, will, wo are sure, wish him a prosperous
voyage nnd speedy return. Dr. Parker enmu to
China ubuut five yours since, nnd in November 1835
opened the Ophthalmic Hospital, chiefly fur th#
treatment, at it* numo denotes, of distnses of the
rye. Hero tbe number nf Chinese applicants fur
medical and surgical relief, soon became very great,
and ht fact Dr. Parker dovoted nil his timo to this
estnlil slimeut, refitting thousands of Chinesn with
great skill and kindness. The case* whloh ho
treated were fey nn means confined to diseases nf
tke eye, very frequent among tbe Chinase, but com
prised many ofthe most difficult surgical aporallnns,
in must of which he has been perfectly successful,
and such was tho cunfidoi.co reposed in him by the
Chinero on account of his surgical skill and kind
ami conciliating manners, lhnt> at the end of two
years after tho opening of the hnspital no less than
4575 patients have been treated by him, and such
wus ilia number of ap|dicntiona for roller thnt it bo-
dime necessary to refuse to many ndmittanca cm tha
sick li*t. This institution, incorporated with tho
Medical Miisionory Society, continued to prosper
until March last y*ar, when with the imprisonment
uf foreigners in ’Canton, it was ordered to be closed
by the Chinese nuihurirles, nor hns It since been re
opened; but Dr. Parker continued to receive pa
tients at his own house in Canton, and wo sea from
hi* last periodical report that up to tho end of last
year he ha* treated and nflarded relief to 7000 sick.
MAULMAIN.
By tho stcamar Enterprise (lie Mauimaln Chroni
cle from 8th April to 27ih May has reached us dttr
week. Anextrnet which we published from .
that of tiro fast mentioned date, Is not calculated In f
convey n very favorable notion of tha tranquility of
the kingdom of Ava, or of the security with which
Tharruwadoe enjoy* hit throne. An earlier number
of the same paper reports the arrival at Atnera-
poui a of an embassy from Chine, which el tho pre
sent juncture wa* supposed by sumo to have another
object in viow besides tile ostensible ono, of obtain
ing compensation for the plunder ttfn caravan of
Ci-hiHso trader* by some pat thane of'i'hsnawutlre
before his nccession to power,although the Crnnicle
think* that *' Chiniii i» yet too proiiml to seek for

bus yet been scarcely time for intelligence of hostile

RESUMPTION.

cmngcu, and it affords us mnch pleasure to be able
to assure our readers nn the heel authority, that No
postponement ofthe day of resumption beyond the
15th of January next, will receive hie approbation*
He is a* anxious as any ono can be, to relievo the
community from embarras-ment and distress, but
he is not of opinion that it is the TRUK mode of min
{storing thia relief, to entail upon us fora day longer
than is already allowed, the hopeless evil* of tbe

NAVAL DEPOT.
We have Imd the pleasure of« Conversation with
Captain Powell ofthe U. S. Btig Consort, now at
anchor in our harbor, who informs us that hi* olfject
is not a general survoy ofthe coast of Florida, as
wa stnted In our last, bur an examination of the dif
farent ports on the Gulf with u view to ascertain the
bust po.ition for tho rsiablithmeni of a Naval De
por. Not, probably to remove that already located
et Pcnsecolo, but most likely tho Creation of anolh
er. Capt. I*, speaks highly of our harbor. He
stales that became over the bar at the West Pa-e
with 14 foa of water, and that depth can at all
times bo brought in, if not ulways carried our.
He declares thut our harbour is admirably adopt
ed fora Naval Depot, and espccally one consisting
nf steam defence; holding, a* Capt. P. does, tbe
opinion, that the Gulf coaid be moch more success
fully defended with Steam shins than by Forte.
The time has arrived when inopeopleof ihu South,
should awake lo i eense of their own insecurity,
and call upon Government to furnish them with u
defence adequate to tbe extent and exposure of
their sph-ndMond valuable coast.
Tire Consort, will eeil in a few days on an excur
tlon tn visit aud examine the harbors of 8u Joseph,
St. Andrews and IVnsacoIa; aho will find them beau
tiful bays, good harbors, and possessing firm depth
of water, hut dnvoid of those claims todefeuce which
Apalachicola is able to prefer.
it should, and will, be bvrne in mind, that we 0%
