Abdication by Prince Leopold.—Next to the intelligence concerning the health of the King of England, the most important political news brought by the Corinthian is that ot the abdi cation of the throne of Greece by Leopold — ]n a formal letter of resignation, which bears date London, 21st M*y, bo assigns af length his reasons for this step. These appear to be founded principally upon manifestations by the people of Greece that the Sovereign chosen for them was not acceptable. It is also objected •hat by the same treaty which confers on him the sovereignty of Greece, a portion ot that country Acarnania and a part ot Ltolia, are re quired to he given up to the Turks, that the inhabitants of these provinces will never sub mit again to the 'l urkish yoke, and in resis tance will have the co-operation of the rest of Greece; and that therefore, “his first act as a sovereign will have to be either to compel his own subjects by force of foreign arms to sub mit. to the cession of their estates and proper ties to their enemies, or join with them in re sisting or evading a part ot that very treaty, which places him on the throne of Greece.”— Prince Leopold remarks, in conclusion of his resignation, that when he contemplated the , distinction of becoming Sovereign of Greece, it was with the hope of being fully and freely acknowledged by the Greek Nation; that he now sees those hopes annihilated; that the ar rangements of the Allied Powers and the op- position of the Greeks prevent him from ef fecting the object he had in view—the estab lishment of Grecian Independence on a per manent and honorable basis—but would impose on him, instead, an officer of a very different c * r ;!C ter—that of Delegate of the three Allied Courts to hold Greece in subjection by the force of tlieir arms—and he, therefore, ior- mallv resigns into the hands of the Plenipoten tiaries, a trust which circumstance* no longer permit him to execute with honor to himself, benefit to Greece, or advantage to the general interests of Europe.” [Correspondence of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce.] Port Mahon, May 26.—A tremendous storm is now gathering upon this sea, which will pass over and pour all its fury upon Al giers. The 20th of this month was the day appointed for the French expedition to sail from Toulon. It is said to consist of 120 ships of war, and 5 or 600 transports with 33,000 troops, 7,000 of which are cavalry, and artille ry enough to manage 300 cannon. What a spectacle of horrid grandeur will this floating city present upon the water, moving on to drench Algiers in human blood! We are dai ly looking out for its appearance. A staff of S6 surgeons have already arrived here. They have engaged the best part of the Lazaretto, an Island in the midst of this harbor, with a large hospital upon it, and ex tensive barracks in Georgetown, for the ac commodation of the wounded in battle. 1 un derstand that a large number more of surge ons, 300 nurses, and 6 or 6.000 beds are on their wav to this place. These vast prepara tions for the ample accommodation and best attendance of her wounded warriors, is certain ly very creditable to the humanity of the French nation. Steamboats are to be constant ly plying between this and the devoted city, to hasten Ihc suffering wounded, with all des patch to good quarters. There is something appalling in the thought of standing bv to see these boats unlade heaps of mangled men. VV hat a contrast to those companies of smiling people that are daily dis charged upon the American wharves by our boats! Far be it from me to wish the scourge of war to pass its desolating sweep across any country; but should the French roll a wave of destruction over this barbarous nest ol pirates, what poet, or orator, or historian, will ever presume to pour into the annals of time, a mournful effusion over her broken down walls? Strango that the blast of Heaven has not long since blotted these monsters from the earth About ten days ago an awful gale of wind occurred here, which made all things tremble in its way. Two French brigs, blockading Al giers, were cast ashore, and more tb*n 200 of ficers and sailors fell into the hands of the Al gerines. It is said that all their heads were immediately cut off. The Dey pays 200 dol Jars for a live Frenchman, and one hundred for a dead one. I doubt, therefore, whether the report of the execution is correct. Yesterday,'the Captain Pacha from Con stantinople appeared off Mahon in a frigate.— He is sent by the Grand Sultan to mediate be tween France and Algiers, and prevent, if pos sible, the effusion of blood. He has despatch ed a small vessel to Algiers, to obtain informa- Greece.—A letter from Missolonghi, of the 10th of March, represents the feelings of the Greek people as extremely hostile to the erec tion of a throne in their country, and its occii pancy by a foreign Prince. This measure is declared to have been adopted by the allied cabinets at the instigation of Mf.tternich, the Austrian Minister, “who never sees the move ment of a generous feeling, or notices an ad vance in civilization any where, without an ef fort to attack it.” He saw in Greece, under a President, a copy, on a small scale, of the U- nited Slates, aud he therefore determined to limit the territory of the New Republic, so as to reduce it to a state ol dependence on some other power. For that purpore he proposed that Athens should not be included in its boun dary—but France overruled this. His next attempt was to give Greece only a nominal in dependence of Turkey, and to place her under the Government of Hospodars, 'similar to that of Servia, Moldavia, 4*c. This plan was de feated by Count Capo D’Istria. He then at tempted to get rid of the Count by represent ing him Jo thc other powers as the mere instru ment of Nicholas, to whom Greece would be finally given up by the new President.—But the Emperor of Russia declared to Franco and England that Capo dJstria. was under no con trol of his, that he never would interfere by mil itary force in Ihe aflairs of the Greeks, and left his allies to clear the Morea ot Egyptian troops. This the French soon perlormed. Metter- nich, was not, however, to be discouraged.— He wrote to the Ministers of the Allied Pow ers, that the Greek President could never sup port himself; that to make Greece a Republic would be sowing the seeds of Revolution and Anarchy in Europe—-that already the country was filled with Masonic Lodges and firms ol Carbonari; that new secret societies more dreadful still, were forming in various parts and that it was necessary to establish there a strong government. This artifice succeeded, without any inquiry, or even consulting the President, the Allied Powers’consentcd to give Greece a Monarch, and Prince Leopold was accordingly selected. The Greeks are repre sented as extremely dissatisfied—:they declare “if they must be subject to a foreign yoke, they will make a choice for themselves—they will not be English, German, or French—in spite of all the world they will be RussiansV’ It is probable that thi3 state of things a- mong the Greeks, furnished Prince Leopold if not a good reason, at least a plausible ex cuse for his late abdicition ot the Greek throne. It was a matter of much speculation in the English papers at the latest dates, what course would now be pursued, in relation to Greece, although it was presumed that anoth er king could soon be found on the soil of Ger many, so prolific of Princes. It may, however be considered the prerogative ot Russia to pre scribe the next choice —Chur. Cuur. (hose - political virtues, which fldorn Maj Ham ilton, Mr. Turnbull, Mr. Deas, and in a word, the Mercury party. Having shewn the absurdity and inconsistency of a compli mentary notice of Mr. M’Duffie, I will pro ceed to examine the Toast itself. “George M’Duffie—With the soul and tongue of Patrick Henrv, he has interpreted to the infatuated Belshazzar the hand writing on the wall.” In the first place, Mr. M’Duffie a gentleman bf considerable talents and attain ments, but of the most violent & ungovernable temper, whose political course has been turbu lent 4* undignified & always overflowing with the bitterness of a heated partizan, is. unfor tunately compared with P. Henry, one of the most brilliant of orators; whose tongu - was touched with a live coal from off the altar, a pure & exalted Patriot; a gentleman oi the most nle?sing manners; a man without fear k without reproach. In the next place, the Toast presents an allusion to the Scriptures; ao allusion not onlv unpatriotic, but extremely impious. I will examine it, in the fifth chapter of Daniel, the following narrative will be found: —Belshazzar the King, made a great feast at which he with bis princess— his wives and his concubines, impiously drank wine out of the golden vessels that were ♦aken out of the Temple of the House of God at Jerusalem, and prated the Gods of gold and of silver—of brass—of iron, and of stone. “In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand and wrote over against the candlestick, upon the plaister of the wall of the King’s palace: and the King saw. the part of the hand * hat wrote ” The King, who was much troubled at this oc currence, immediately consulted the Astrolo gers Chaldeans & Soothsayers. These, howev er could not read the writing, nor make known the interpretation thereof—Whereupon the Queen, advised him to consult Daniel, ' in whom was the spirit of the holy gods ’ Dan iel, is accordingly consulted by the King, and promised a great, reward if he will read the writing and make known the interpretation. Daniel, answering, romindeth the Kin? oi the folly and wickedness of his father Nebuchad nezzar, chargeth him (Belshazzar) with prido and impiety, in abusing the Holy vessels, & worshipping the gods ot bra^, kc.—and inf rmeth him that ths part of the hand was sent from God for these things, and conciudet'- with the following toterpretatation of the hand writing:— 26. This Is the interpretation of the thing: Mene—God hath numbered thy kingdom and finished it. 27. Tekel: Thou art weighed in the bal ances and found wanting. 23 Feres: Thy Kingdom is divided and given to the Modes and Persians. 29 * * " * ‘ hand which Belshazzar fa* was sent from God. The toast before us warrants u« in sup posing that the Disunion hand writing is attrib- uted to the same source. Alas! for the blind* ncs and impiety of man! The tyrant Alexan der the Great was flattered by bis courtiers into a belief that he was a God; the Disunion- ists are still more deluded-—for they have flat tered themselves into the same belief. A CAROLINIAN. We are indebted to Col. Glassgow Williams, the sub Agent, for the following interesting letter of instruction to the Agent for the Cher okee Nation.—Knoxville Register DEPARTMENT OF WAR. Officf of Indian Affairs, ) 9th. of June, 1830. $ Sir—I am directed by the Secretary of VV ar, to inform you that the President has conclud ed it proper to suspend the present mode of enrolling and sending off emigrants in small parties as heretofore The removal of the Cherokees and other advantages which would result to them fioin it, are so obvious and have boen so often ex plained, as to need no further efforts to make it better understood at least in the way in which it has been done in the past. If they as a people, think it for their interest to re main in the States within whose limits the) are, and he subject to the laws of those States, the consequences, whatever these may be, following their own choice, will be chargeable to no body but themseives; but it is made your special duty to inform the Cherokees not their chiefs only, but the peoplo and in such mode as you may think proper to adopt, which shall be most likely to make the information general, that the President, having no power to inter fere, and oppose the exercise of the sovereign ty of any Slat© over, and upon all who may bo. within the limits of any Sta'e, they will pre pare themselves to abide tl - issue of such new relations without any hope, that he will interfere. But assure them, at the same time such power as the laws give hup for their pro tection, shall be executed for their benefit, and this will not fail :o be exercised in keep ing out intruders Beyond this he cannot go. It is important there should be no misunder standing on the subj ct. Intruders will be kept out; but the states will not be interfered with, by the President, in exercising their law over them. Such, therefore as will be satis fied, to remain under the State laws, will, if they choose, remain, others who prefer to re move can do so, and these will be supported by the Government in their removal, free of any expense to them, and have a full, and just value paid for such improvements as they may leave, that add real value to the soil, and ...

What will be the result, 1 know not. I shall write you again soon. A writer in the Courier des Eiats Unis, has given a vivid description of Algiers, to which the French expedition has attracted the eyes of Europe. “Il is a drearv town, says the wri ter, built on an iron soil, full of barbarian? and soldiers of citadels, It is surrounded with de- FROM TIIE CHARLESTON COURIER. To James Hamilton, Jr. Henry Decs, Langdon Chcves, John Gadsden, Robert J. Turnbull, and Jacob F. Mintzing. Esq'rs Vice Presidents oj ihe dinner given to Messrs Drayton and Hayne: GENTLEMEN—On the 13th inst. I ad dressed a respectful note to you, requesting you, or any of you, to give a full, clear and pub lic explanation of the following toast: the pre cise meaning of which, I found myself, in com mon with a vast number of voters, somewhat at a loss to comprehend. “Georce M’Duffie —With the soul and tongue of Patrick Henry, he has interpreted to the infatuated Belshazzar, the hand writ ting on the wall.” In making this request, I exercised the un doubted right of a Carolinian and a citizen.— The publication of the proceedings of your Dinner Party, made those proceedings a fair subject of public investigation. Your inten tion, manifested by your silence, not to re ply to my question, has indeed surprised &. dis appointed me. I certainly did not imagine that any one of you would have shrunk from public inquiry. I could not have believed that a Ham ilton*, a Turnbull, a Ciif.ves, a Deas, a Gads den, or a Mintzing, would have resorted to mystery, and purposely veiled his opinion in obscuie figurative language; But,Gentlemen, though your conduct maybe a matter of sur prise, it*is not wholly unaccountable. If I understand your toast correctly, the idea which vou entertained was Disunion, a sentiment which South Carolina disavows, and holds in horror. Your silence, then, if not remarkable for amor patriae, is certainly distinguished for its worldly prudence. With these remarks I proceed to examine the toast in question criti cally, secundum artem. In the first place it is to be observed, that by your resolutions at the Coffee House, you declared the dinner was to be a tribute “by the friends of State Rights to the principles which have been promulga ted by the Legislature of South Carolina.” And in your printed pamphlet, your dinner pro ceedings are styled, “Proceedings of the State Rights celebration,” Now, no well informed man, having any regard for his character, or for public opinion, will assert that George Mc Duffie is a Radical, or advocate of State Rights, in the strict and well understood mea ning of that terra. How, then, Gcmlcmen, could you, assemble for the purpose above mentioned, consistently select as a proper per son to heap a most wicked and extravagant compliment,upon a man, with the exception of his opposition to the Tariff, uniformly opposed to State rights? I am wrong perhpas in put ting this question—for it is well known that consistency is not the most conspicuous of concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the Kingdom. 30. In that knight was Belshazzar, the King of the Chaldeans slain. Let us now pursue the parallel of the toast - wruer. The idea with which his mind is filled, is the Tariff, Mr. M’Duffie is, in a breath compared to Patrick Henry, and likened un to Daniel, the prophet. By the infatuated Belshazzar, is meant the Congress of the U- nited States, the hand writing on the wall is resistance to the Tariff, at any and every haz- zard—The interpretation of which is, accord ing to the Scriptual terms. Menc: God hath numbered the Union and, finished it. Tekel: “Its value has been calculated”—It has been weighed in the balances and found wanting. Peres: It is DIVIDED, and given—one portion of it, to the Good K'ng of Great Brit- ian,*4he other portion to the Nothern Maufac- turers. If the parallel be further continued, Mr. M’Duffie, the Holy Prophet, High Priest of Disunion—the Daniel of the Mercury Party will he clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and he proclaimed the third Ruler of the Kingdom. (We suppose the first place is reserved for King Calhoun, and the speond place for Gen. Hayne) Bel shazzar will be slain i. e.—the Genera! Gov ernment will be destroyed, and the tariff de clared void and inoperative: and finally a Disunion will thus take place—bv which South Carolina will be able to form an alliance with Great Britain, and enjoy British Protection Fellow Citizens: Are you not shocked at this impiety which perverts the holy Scrip tures to '■mbserve the views of a wicked faction and work the downfall of liberfv? I beseech you by all that you hold sacred—hy your re gard for ycur own rights and liberties—by the love you hear for your children—by the gratitude which you owe to that God who sheltered you under his almighty wings during the storms of the Revolution and who by the hand of his servant Washington, guided your beloved South Carolina and her sister States safe through the valley of the shadow of death, in the war for our independence, do not suffer yourselves to be deluded by the ravings ol the false prophets who urge you to your ruin support of themselves an4 families. You can further say to them, it they are disposed to’ treat with the General Government, that lifie ral terms will be extended to them, their lim its beyond the Mississippi shall be enlarged, and-all things done for thesr protection and guidance and improvement which the Fres.- dent may hare the power to do. Their iirn its in the West shall be surveyed and marked, so as to avoid any difficulty arising out of h confusion of lines, between them and neigh boring tribes. This suspension of present operations, is designed to afford the Cherokees an opportu nity to ponder on *heir present situation: and to deliberate calmly, as to what is best for them to do. The President is their friend lie seeks not to oppress, or deceive them.— He feels for them as a father feels for hi* chi! dren; and is deeply solicitous for their welfare. It is probable that in the fall, or the spring following, they may be prepared to act with intelligence in this great matter. The Presi dent wishes the Cheroke s to he fully inform ed upon all the points connected with their pending and future relations. He will not de ceive them: and he wishes that no misunder standing should exist, as between the Chcro- kties and himself, or between them and you — Speak to them as their friend and with all the sincerity of a friend Use no threats exercise no unkindness If they stay, it will be of their own free will, if they remove it will be of their own free will also. There wil|^ be employed no force, any way, but the force of reason, and parental council, unless it shall be to proicct them in removing. When the Cherokees shall have finally de* v’.cllfl* of Utnoilion ot corruption; a deluded et* thusiast, or a prophet ol good, which the most sanguine dare not hope, and the keen-eyed Statesman cannot foresee. Thenceforward the American eagle shall drop the olive-branch of peace, and grasp only the arrows of war. The hand which writes the declaration of disunion, shall feel the blood curdle in its veins; and the tongue, which reads it to the world, shall stif. fen in the act. The mountains that divide n$ f shall be" “the dark mountains of death,” and the streams that flow between, like the waters of Egypt, shall be turned into blood. But terrific as is the picture, which anticipa* tion presents, let us gaze upon it, resolutely and calmly. Conceive the eventful crisis ar rived, when the delegates of America meet to sever our Confederacy. Unlike the glorious Congress, which declarded us independent, un- like the equally glorious Convention, which framed our Constitution, they would join to destroy the fairest edifice, that human hands have ever raised. A.ready is their object at tained. With one voice they pronounce us free and independent of each other. r lhey dash on the earth the tables of our common alliance; they march in triumph to kindle the flame, that is to consume the Temple of Union, and hear with a smile the loud crash, as it sinks in ruins. In vain, when the youthful ge nius of America is laid on the altar ot separa* tion, may a voice from Heaven exclaim,— “Hold! hold!” In vain, may the bleeding im age of their country arise and point to her wounds; each will exclaim, in the language of the murderer Macbetti, “Thou canst not say, I did it.” In vain, may they call np the spirit of Washington to hallow their rites; like the prophet of Endor, he shall look but to blast, and speak but to curse.—Grimke’s Oration, Jw ly 1809. nf The Boston Bank Robbery —The second ex amination of John Fuller, Clerk in the United States’ Branch Bank in Boston, took place on the 9th inst. before Judge Davis; in tho course of which, Mr. Frothingham, the Cashier, related the following circumstances attending the recovery of the property: “He said he was waked at about half past. two o'clock on the morning of Monday the 5tb inst. by Mr. Joel Smith, who informed bio* that he could deliver up Mr. Fuller and $39,- 000, if he (Mr. F.)‘would go to the residence of Fuller. They proceeded to Fuller’s house, and found him there; he was willing and pre- pared to do any thing. About daylight he ac companied Fuller to prison; after returning to the house, Smith gave him the $39,000 Mr Smith informed him that Fuller went home a- bout twelve, that at first he desired Smith fo protect him, and assist his escape, but upon the persuasion of his wife, and of Mr. Smith he was prevailed upon to give himself up, and wasjjentirely willing to do so. He was left in his house while Smith went for the witness, and as thers were no persons in it but females, he might have escaped if he had chosen. He (Mr. Frothingham) had since understood that the money was in the hand r . of a third person and would have been returned on Monday at any rate. Mr. Fuller bad since given such in formation that the Bank on the 8th ; recovered $2005 more. He could not say what the ex act amount of the defalcation as in the amount received upon bonds, nor did he know whether il had been taken at one time, or in small sums at various times. Mr. Fuller had informed him th.it Im had begun by taking small sums iu the expectation of being able to indemnity the Bank, but the embezzlements had amount ed to so large a sum that lie found it beyond his reach." Mr. Blake, the agent of the Ciufe, staled that the Directors wire satisfied that the de falcation of Fuller did not present o ease ot’ deep and settled guilt; and although *hey de sired that he shouid receive the penalty of tho law, th y were nevertheless willing that the bail shouid be reduced to such an amount as to allow him to enjoy his liberty until October, judge Davis said he would not then consent to lake less bail than $30,000; but if bail should be oflered before the trial, and under circum stances which rendered it probable that Mr. Fuller would appear, he might perhaps take less. Fuller was then remanded. His trial will take place on 15th October.—Char. Cour. A snake of nocommon and extraordinary di mensions, was seen near this place a few weeks since hy Mr. J. B Harbin, one of the most vvorthyjand respectable citizens of our county. He informs us, , , „ . _ .

I know that you recognise the fin ger of God in the extraordinary circumstances which enabled Washington to escape from Long Island. I am Mire that you acknowl edge that Providence which shed its in fluence on our Convention, harmonized its views, and matured the Constitution. Pre serve then this ark of your liberties—this pal ladium of your right*. Transmit it unimpaired to your posterity. If we suffer any partial evil, it is but the lot of humanity—all human institutions are imperfect; and the very best government is still a necessary evil. In the midst of discordant opinions, let the words of our patriot fathers be held in our rcriiem* brance and impressed on our hearts—‘United we stand, divided wc fall.’ This language is not the overflowing of an excited imagination; it is the earnest dictate of deliberate reason.—- It proceeds from one who seeks no office, and has no selfish viewslo answer. Pause, then, fellow-citizens, and reflect upon it. Let us re turn to tho toasts, and conclude its explana tion. We are told by the Scriptures that the will inform the Department. If the whole, or the great body of the Nation determine to re move, the President will send to them a confi dential commissioner, who will receive a Del egation at some convenient place, and one that will he most agreeable to them. The President and Secretary of War will probably visit Tennessee in all this month; thev will have reached Nashville bv the 20th or 30th of July. If the Chiefs or principal men of the nation desire to see the President upon the important matters which concern them, ho will gladly see them, in person, there. But if they cannot go willingly and prepared with will not be necessary for them to go, since, in that way, only, can he assist them, promote their welfare, and establish their future pros perity. If the Chiefs shall corne with this de termination all their necessary expenses will he borne. You will discontinue the agency of Messrs. Bridges and HuDter, after they shall have valued what improvements may remain to-be valued, and those of the issuing agent, after the supplies are disposed of to such Indians as may be in transitu, and after you shall have disposed to the best advantage, of what sup plies, and other matters may remain on hand, and have their accounts, and all other accounts brought to a close immediately, and forward the o to the Department.
