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.

given to the Modes and Persians.

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.

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

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

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.

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,

Do not destroy this fair fabric of liberty, of full power to make a treaty for a removal, it
which God himself has laid the corner stone;
hut how down thankfulness to him, who in the
dark night of our adversity interposed for our
salvation. 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

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
