SHORTER of Jasper. REVOLUTION IN FRANCE. Our readers will find in our columns of to-day, some account of the late brilliant and glorious events in E ranee. Ours may be emphatically styled the era of revolutions. France is again the scene of a frightful tragedy. Our own Lafayette is at the head of an immense army, and victory has already perched on the standard of liberty.— The heioic people of Paris are the admiration of the world. Invincible courage was always liuirs, but now they have added unexampled moderation in the hour of victory. The tyrannical Charles appears to have precip- j itated these great events by acts the most lawless, oppres- ' sive, and odious. He has paid the forfeit. A world in The necctsary absence of the Editor has prevented his attention to the Editorial Department. On his arrival a 8th of January, the duties have bein taken off dnyor two since fromatour of professional busiiuss, he from Palm Oil. imported in Portnga. from Goa in Portuguese vessels, and the said t II IS e : paper will more than compensate for the absence oi edito- for exportation during five years.

They h .ve deermmed to bear no lunger, aud who shall again di t.it. to F ance. The crisis is awful. Our cry is: Live Liberty—down with the Tyrants! [communicated.^ . THE ELECTION. Mr. Editor:—At the last Governor’s election tin - Clark party made a laudable effort to restore the politics of the State lo lhe standard of reason. They ran for that high appointment, him they thought most worthy of their ad versaries and hoped this would be a signal of better times. They hoped hereafter to see candidates for office supported on the broad ground of worth and capability. They know whether they have been deceived. They know whether they are at all released from the pa.ns and penalties of be ing Clark men And they know whether they have any thing to gain by swelling their Congressional tickets be yond the names of NEWNAN, CH .RLTOX and LUMPKIN. A word to the wise is sufficient. C. prevail between the sovereigns, ns lo lhe un settled state of their private controversies, pending the mediation of England. The bank of Libson announced on 2d July a dividend of 2 12 per cent, for the last six months. On the 26(h June the American schoo ner Planter, arrived, in 7 days from St. Miguel, having be> n detained by the blockading ^hips and sent in to be tried for an alledged breach of the blockading.—A’ational Intelligencer. FROM THE V. 9. GAZETTE. The Duke of Orleans, now appointed Lieutenant. Ge neral of France, is the son of lhe notorious Egaiite, guil lotined in the Revolution. Previous to his father’s death, he was an Aid of Gen. Duinourir.r, and fought under the tri-colored flag (which is what be alludes to in bis procla mation,) at Getnappe. He was afterwards proscribed; to this country, and taught school in New Jersey.— We are sorry to add that he evinced live basest ingrati tude to some of his American patrons, after he was restor ed to iffl i.-ncc en the return of the Bourbons. General Lafayette, Commander of the National Guards, is loo well known to require any particular notice. General Count Gerard, tne Commander of the Nation al Guards during the revolt, is a name well known to the “Bulletin” readers in the wars of the Empire. He fought with distinguished valor at-Ligny, and commanded one of lhe two corps that diverged to Wavre under Marshal Crouchy, and consequently was not present at the Battle of VVatterloo. Las Casas says (hat Napoleon after his disaster* at Leipsic, told Gerard, “If I had many men like you, I should consider all tnv looses repaired, and ahouid think myself master of my fortune ” In a subsequent conversation, Napoleon remarked that “the generals who seemed destined to rise to future dis tinction,“were Gerard, Claurel, Foy, Lumirque, &c.— These were to have been my new Marshals.” Count Lobaa, bead of the Executive Committee is a title that seems to have always confounded editorial re collection. At the Battle of VVatterloo, the newspapers called him Bertrand, and the lale London Gazettes sup pose it to be Drouel. The real name, however is George Mouton, for many years one of the Aids of Napoleon, and who derived his title from the Island of loder Lub-x on the Danube, where fas O’Meara asserts) his person . 1 sei- viccs saved the French army after the defeat at-Esslin^ — . Prior to this period he was distinguished at the Capture of Laiidshut, where (as the Bulletin st lies) he lead his di vision into the ci'y over a bridge that was actually in fl lines! Napoh on mentions him when a Colonel near Geiton in 1800, as being a great disciplinarian; and at Waterloo he commanded th- right wing of the French Army. Ilis corps was cut off Dy Bl tchcr and himself made a prbuner of war, and sent to Plymouth; an event -of sufficient importance at the time to produce a sopplc- I'n- atJvry dispatch from Lord Wellington. He was pro scribed by Louis XVIII. and did not return to France un til soioe years afterwards, when a general amnesty was proclaimed. Of Calmer Perrier, Benjamin Constant, and others, nothing more is knowu than that they have been Cot nr:**}’ years active members of Lbe House of Deputies. All of tinjn (excepting Constant) may be set down as firm friends of lbe late Emperor, and probably attached to Na poleon. It may not perhaps be inappropriate, ere we close this desultory article, to give a short notice of the.Royal Family of France. Cnarles X. is the brother of Louis XVI. who perished on the scaffold. He was born in 1757, and is conseq icntly 73 yearsold. He succeeded hisbroih- «r, Louis XVIII. in 1824. He was married in 1773 to Marin Theresa, a daughter of the King ol Sardinia, who died in 18U5. They had issued two sons. The eldest, thi dauphin, is still living, and usu illy known by the title of die Dike D’Angouteme. He was born in 1773, and married "i» first cousin v*aria Theresa Louisa, daughter of Louis XVI. by whom he lias no issue. The younger atm, Charles Ferdinand, late Due D’Berri, was horn in 1778. lie married a Princess of Naples in 1816, and was assassinated in 1820, leaving a daughter, and a pos thumous son. the Due D’Bonrdejux, now ten years of age. The other P luce'* of the blood Royal of France are— 1. Louis Philip Due D'Orleans, born in 1773. Now Lt. General, Regent or Koig, as our next advices may show. He is 57 years old, immensely rich, and has six sons and three daughters. The former are. Dukes ol'Cbartres, Ne mours, Joinviltc, Panthievr*, Auinale, and Montpensur. 5). Loui-t Henry, Prince of Conde, burn 1758, was mar ried in 1770, lo Loui-a, aunt of the Duke of Orleans, wiio died in Ian. 1822, and haJ only one son, the late Duke P’Eughien, killed in 1804. Affairs of France.—Mr. Brougham having visited Shef field as acandidale for York.-bire, Mr. T. A. VV' .rd, who introduced the learned gentleman to the freeholders, very oppositely took die opportunity of requiring Mr. Broug ham’s opinion on the slate of affairs in France, will) a view to obtain bis protest against supporting the Bourbons in (heir attempts to stifle the liberties of the French people. With a power and energy which can scarce be conceived by those who have nut heard him, Mr. Brougham said—“Alas! the news has reached us that a frantic tyrant (for 1 can call him nothing else,) bent upon mischief, and guided by an ignorant and besotted priesthood—led by the most despicabled advisers—for getful of the obligation be owes to his people—forgetful of the duty he owes to that Providence, which restored him to his throne—has, in the face of that Providence, and in defiance of that people, declared that he will trample on tlie liberties of his country, and rule 30 million of its peo ple by the sword. I heartily pray that his advisers will meet with that punishment which they so richly merit. The minister who could give such counsel, deserves that bis head should be severed from his body and rolled in the dust. If it were possible that any one could dare to give such advice to our King, the same punishment ought to be inflicted upon him, and his head ahouid roll in the dust the same day, before sunset, on which he gave that coun sel. Gentlemen,—it is no business of ours to interfere with that country; the French have their own liberty in their own keeping, &no nation ever shewed itself more dis posed to keep it, or seemed to me to have more right to possess it. And 1 pray to heaven thut they may speedily <XU3U their enemies god establish their liberties.” [communicated.] Mr. Editor:—In the Charleston Courier under date of first September, we noticed the following remarks : “The agitators in this Slate may even now perceive the fruits of their labor good. Citizens alarmed tor the safety of their property, are beginning to look to other States for that security and repose which they seriously fear may not long be enjoyed in this. A gentleman writes fioin Cberaw under date of 27th Aug. as follows. “The peo ple in these sections of our State are greatly dissatisfied Yesterday a wealthy planter in this district said, if the nullifying doctrine were adopted, he should leave the Slate, and so will hundreds of others.” Such citizens would have done honor to Rome and Sparta in thebr ght- e*l pages of their history. Should the South Carolina Nul'ifyers he successful, and should her citizens decline moving to Greenville and Abbeville Districts, we request Mr. Polhiil to give tbem the earliest possible invitation to the Golden regions of our country. WESTERN GEORGIAN. Lawrenceville, Sept. 12. The Election has terminated, Mr. Pringle is In- tendani, anu every candidate on the Union Ticket has been successful. Without entering into any argument as to the tendency of Mr Pikcknet’s political principles to disunion, this much we say, the result has proved that the majority of this community are ready lo meet, such - disposition ut its vi ry dawning, and are able to put it down. Nearly sixteen hundred votes were given— number exceeding bj 450 any ever taken at any previous election. Though excitement Was as high as it possibly Could be, iri general, good ftcling mid harmony prevailed; and if we except an assault made upon our br ither of the Gazette, by some courageous gentlemen, who in all probability nad taken in in extra quantity of alcoholic gas, we have not heard of any other bad efluct resulting from the occasion.—Irishman. —oc:o:oo— Frankfort, (Ky.) August31. The Drought appears so In general in the southern, western, and middle States, though numerous small dis tricts have escaped the common calamity. In this State, the want of rain has not hem so much felt for many years, indeed, we hear no reference to any former year since the first settlement of the country, when there was so great a drought so early in the season. The crops of small grain happily came to perfection before the drought begun to be felt, and were very fine. Hemp has sufficed severely. The eorn crops still m» re, and nil no*, it is thought, upon lhe average, amount to half the usual quantity. Bui stiil in this highly favored and plentiful land, with ordinary < cunumy, for the food of man and bt-ast. there will tie enough; ihe deficiency wiii full upon tin- Whiskey, and may effect tire exports and in come f the Slate. Travelling is rendered very disagreeable by reason of the dust, and in some places for want of water lor hor* ses, and even for tbe riders—most of the small branches, and even considerable creeks—mill Streams—being en tirely dry. A large proportion ol' the springs have total ly failed. “In Winchester, on Monday last, (says (he Paris Citi zen) being a coari day, a sufficiency of water could not be hud to drink at the taverns, and they had to haul it two miles and a half from the country. All the small streams and a great many springs are completely dr) in this county, (Bourbon,) and even Huston has ceased to run for a number of days. We are informed that in one part of Uiis county, water is hauled seven miles, and paid lor ;:l !bat.” lit On entown, we are told, there is no water. And at New Castle, the shire town of Henry county, all the wa ter lor domestic use is hauled five miles. Richmond, Sept. 10. A large and enthusiastic meeting suddenly callod, as sembled last night at the Capitol, Thomas Ritchie, Esq. in the Chair, and John H. Pleasants, Secretary—to de vise some mode to commemorate the public sense of the late glorious Revolution in France. Tbe meeting was perfectly harmonious & determined on a Military and Cit izens’ procession on Saturday—a National Salute—aud a recommendation lo the citizens, of a general illumina tion on Saturday night. Mr. Wyndlium Robertson of tbe Ex. Council designated to deliver an address in the Capitol.— Whig. Havre, the great commercial port of France on the At lantic, has, with its great Naval Arsenal, been attacked and carried by the people after some fighting.

British Colonial Trade.—We do not find aryconfirma- tioa ol the fact oftne reported opening of the British West India ports to the trade of the United States. The Editor of the New York Aibion, however, thinks an arrangement between the two Governments for the opening of the Co lonial ports probable. Th;s journal, which has always been the steady advocate of lbe British Colonial interests, makes the following statements and admissions on the subject, all of which would seem to show that the final ar rangements are near their completion. “It has been recently stated, and upon the best authori ty, that the Agent for New Brunswick in London, Mr Bliss, had communicated to his friends in that province, his apprehensions tbe ports would be opened in September next. We have also in our possession private information in relation to Mr. Lane’s negotiations, which lead us to the same conclusion. Under all these circumstances, we should bf wanting in duty to our colonial friends, if we did not distinctly intimate to th- m that the chances of this trade remaining closed are materially dimmi-hed. But most of the accounts, nevertheless, concur.in affirming that whatever changes take place, in the shipping trade, the general interests of the Northern provinces will be steadily kept in view by his Majesty’s Government. For this purpose it is intended to impose what is termed a pro tecting duty on oil aitides whichcan be furnished by No va Scotia, New Brunswick, &c. when taken imo the West India ports from those of the United States. It is further staled, that a requisition will be imposed, obliging Ami ri can vessels to take a • ay the amount of their outward bound cargoes in the produce of the Islands. Such a re gulation might possibly be of utility in enabling the West Indies to carry on a barter !rad<-, and thereby relieve them selves of much of their superfluous produce in return for articles of the first necessity. We take leave of the sub ject now, expressing our belief that his Majesty’s Minis ters have acted w ith tbe best feelings toward lbe Colonies, and have b,cn actuated by the paramount motive of pro tecting the interests of the Empire at large. We do not think (hat the opposition to this measure exists to the ex tent that it did a few months since.” The direct trade to the British West Indies has obtain- d a factitious importance in this country, from th< cir cumstance of its having been made one of the topics of party controversy in Congress, prior to the last Piesiden- tial election, and cons°quenlly of party misrepresentation, -onm that election. From this circumstance we have no doubt that tbe Administration has strained every nerve with the British Government to obtain a buon, for the ob taining of which great credit would be claimed for them.— The necessity of thi* direct trade to the colonies them selves, may induce the British Government to take a me rit of this necessity, and grant it as an equivalent tor cer tain concessions on our part. If we obtain the trade, it will be a mailer of much greater intrrest than it now is, to know what those concessions or conditions may be.— There may he such a thing as an excess of humiliations as w> II as of consideration given, even fur a valuable acqui sition.—lb. In answer to an application from the inhabitants of Mobile for a daily mail between Georgia and Louisiana, the Post Master General stat-s that the department is in volved in obligations for expenditures to an amount of more than $100,000 per annum beyond its revenue; a part of which was occasioned by the establishment of a mail, three lion s a week, between New Orleans and Washington, and expending its transportation each nay between the two ci(i<s. The mail now travels f ith. r way, between the two places, in fifteen days, and after the close of tbe present year the trip will be made in thirteen days The expense consequent on these arrangements forbids die establishment of a daily mail at present. The a- mount low paid for transporting the mail, three times a week,between Milledgeville, (Geo.) and New Orleans, is $44,580 per annum. Of this sum $25 OOO .ire expended between Mobile and New Orleans. — Charleston Courier. Extensive Forgery.—A rumor has been circulating in this city some days past, of an extensive forgery, said to have been perpetrated a few months since, by a gentle man, who has recently disappeared. As the story goes, he came in this city as cn English gentleman of fortune, with letters of r< commendation and credit, from tne Ba rings in London, and sever;-1 other distinguished bouses <>f that metropolis. Upon this testimony he obtained !arge sums of money from several of the Banks on his awn bills of exchange, which on being sent to England, were found to lie fraudulent and valueless, and the let ters of credit were pronounced forgeries. Several names have been mentioned to us, but we refrain fiom giving them publicity un it the infotmatioD is communicated from some more official source.—Phil. Enquirer. Great Dividends.—The Louisiana State Insurance Co , at N- w Orleans, declared a dividend on the 7th July last T #125 per share, or 126 per cent. f-»r tbe six mcnlh’'> profits. In January last, the same company paid out 50 percent, for six months, and in July, 1829, they paid 50 percent for the six months; making in IS months 225 percent., 125 of which has been paid out to the stockhol ders and the remaining 100 added to the capital.—Con. Mirror. —«oloo- (From the Savannah Georgian, 9th inst ) Another severe gale has u expeiiem-cd on our coast North of Halteras. It commenced at Norfolk, on Wed nesday the 25 li ult and at Boston, Providence, and New- Bedford, lute on the same nigh! aiui continued with great violence for twenty hours. A number cf vessels have been driven ashore and otherwise damaged and much in jury si.stained by the crops, fruit, &c. The schooner Ironsides, from New York bound for the Delaware Breakwater, found* re.*■ in the gale, and most distressing to relate, the Captain’s wife, five children, sis ter-in-law, and an apprentice boy, all perished! The Captain and crew were saved in the boat. Tbe U. S. Warren arrived at Norfolk, received m«di damage in sails and rigging. The oldest hands on board never experienced any thing So violent. Captain 8riij- nf.r apprehends that tbe damage *o shipping by this gal must, from its violence and dui alien, have been very ex tensive. He is confirmed in this impression by having fallen in with masts, spars, and other parts of vessels immediately after. Shipwreck.—We are Inf rmedby Mr. Joseph D. Jor dan, 2d mate of the brig Flora, Capt. Clark, which sailed from this port for Philadelphia, oil the 15th inst. with valuable cargo, that on the night of the I7ih, the brig was capsized (by the w heel breaking in a tremendous gale.) and the captain and crew, (excepting our inform- unl) was successively washed overboard and drowned.— Mr. J. after great exertion, (bund a place of momentary safety in the rigging. On the following day the ves sel righted with loss of mainmast—two vessels then in sigtit, hoisted a signal of distress, and fras taken off by the brig Mexico, then in latitude 39, 52, Ion. 71,20, and arrived it Westport on Monday, and this city last eve ning.—Boston Gaz. Saturday fast. One of the main belts having got out of place, Albert Bvfliih, son of Thomas Butfinu, Esq. a lad in bis 15th year, in attempting to re-place it, was caught and drawn up between the drum aiid the timbers over head, and killed instantaneously. Perceiving himself caught, he exclaimed, “Oh dear, I shall die!” and that in stant his words were verified.—Ib. ► Mr. Reynolds, who went out in one of tbe Discovery ships, writes thus to a friend in Philadelphia:— Valfariaso, May 6, 1830 We have made this port tor refreshmi nts after a long cruise in the South Seas. We were 35 days among the South Shetland Islands, and from the South Wtstern ex tremity stood off on a Western cruise to about 108 deg west longitude, and between the parallels of 60 and 70 deg. south. It was lale when we left the United States, and when we reached tbe high latitudes, the long and dark nights had set in, and the rugged weather fairly commenced. What we saw and collected will bt the subject of a long evening’s conversation on our return. The number of icebergs we encountered was astonishingly great, three anu four hundred passed in a single day; to command the motions of a vessel and the floating collonades of ice dri ving and whirling each other in blind wantonness of de struction, requires the highest exertion of nautical skill. From this port we shall proceed to tbe least frequented parts of the coast of California, and probably return south again next season. —: ooooooo:— Effects of Lightning.—During the heavy thunder show er, on the night of the 22d ult. the dwelling bouse of Mr. Silas Amsbury in Sutton, was struck by lightning. The fluid entered the chamber at the South East corner of the house near the jet, and followed the post down until it came in contact with a gun in the corner of a room oo which was a fixed bayonet. It melted off the point ofthe bayonet, and in its course along the gun, burnt the stock in several places, melted a part of the guaid, and left the room without farther damage, except tearing off some of the plastering and doing seme trifling injury to the timbers. It then continued its course down along the walls of the house, until it came in contact with the stud which sup ported the door of file room below, upon the ground stOiy, which together wi'h the door, was rent to pieces. The fragments ol both the doer and post, together with a large quantity of plastering turn from diff-rent parts ofthe room, were scattered about the apartment, where there were four persons asleep. A trundle b- d, containing two chil dren, «as literally covered with the fragments of boards and piasterwig, without either of the inmates being in -ny way injured. From this room, it went to the cellar, where there was a number of tin puns, containing a quan tity of milk, several of which were melted in such a man lier that the contents ran upon lhe ground. There were two families living in the house, but no person was mate rially injured.— H orctster Spy. THE EVIL* OF DRUKENNES5 Jlre various and many—I name a few only. 1. It betrays must constitutions either to extravagance of anger, ur sins of lemlness. 2d. It disqualifies rr. n for the duties of their station, both by the temporary dis- r der of their faculties, and at length by a constant in capacity and stupiiication. 3d. It is an inlet to a thous and difficulties that cannot be named. 4?;h It shortens life. 5th. It is a violation of God’3 Holy word, because ilis written, ‘Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;’ Again, ‘wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and who soever is deceived thereby is not wise. Woe to them that are mighty lo drink « int, men of strcnglh to mingle ‘strong drink.’ Come says the poor deluded, inebriate-, man, to his insane companion, let us fill ourselves with strong drink, and to-morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundantly; let us enjoy ourselves lo the ut most, let usexpcct increasing pleasure every day we live, and think naught of any gloomy forbodings of the future; littiR indeed are such persons impressed with their true situation, counting on long years of pleasure ht re, they are quite unfurnished for the world to come? O that I could find language that would deeply impress the minds and hearts of the drunkard, of their danger, and their remedy—wake up deluded mortals, uho love tbe intoxicating draught—swallow it not, though plcas- mt to the eye, and sweet to the taste, it will at least bite like a serpent and sting like an adder. Consider well the things which pertain to your present, future, and eternal felicity, before they be forever hid from your eyes.—Con sider well the import ofthe following language, which in deed is a sorrowful comment on your pursuits and actions. ‘Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath bab blings? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine: they that seek mixed wine.’ Be not deceived by the color. Lhe odour or the sparkling of tho wia«, however good and pure it may be; taste it not, it will become a snare to thee, because t';ou are addicted to it; and hast no self- co in - maud.—Remember too that evil concupiscence is insep arable from drunkenness. Take warning, 0 ye aged men, young men, and ye dear youth, though now free from the dreadful sin of drunkenness, beware least ye form habits of this kind; in an evil hour become ensnared by the company of those who are addicted to it. Remember the sin of drunken ness tk grad- s human nature, banishes reason from her rightful throne, insults the majesty of Heaven and Earth; exposes its victims to the greatest evils, and finally, if un- rtpented of, banishes the sinner from the piesenceof God and tiie glory of hi? power forever aud ever: because it is written by an inspired Apostle Drunkards shall not in- heri 1 the kingdom of God. Death—temporal, spiritual, and eternal, are the due wages of sin.—Ncto Jersey Slate Gaxette. PRESENTMENTS Of the Grand Jury oj 'twig's county, at >tftmber Trririi 1830. W E congratulate our leiiow-eitizens that we h..fe' no presentbfients to make for infraction, tl ihe laws; and it is with no ordinary feelings ol satisfaction that we can give evidence of the progress of the people of Twiggs county in moral und intellectual refinement— Therefore, our presentments will be short, and ol a gm* eral nature. In presenting our views upon the subject of onr claims upon, that portion of our State’s Territory now in the occu j pancy of tbe Cherokee Indians, as well as upon any oth er subject of general interest, we do not arrogate to Our selves a right, but adhere to a custom established in sound policy. Asthe organ of the (H^opte of Twiggs county, and we believe that we speak the sentiments of the peopie of Georgia, when we say, that Hie act of tl* Legislature at its last session, ixtending the laws over the Cheroktes re siding within the limits of this S;ate, should be duly on- served, and strictly enforced. Upon a calm and dispas sionate review ofthe whole matt r, it seems to us the sa fest and most expedient method for us to a-'opt, is, thaC the Legislature pass ihe necessary laws and survey the b rritory; make provisions for Inc Indiwnh by temporary reserves; tax their property and compel them to coniributO to the support of the Governnti nt under whose laws they must live, if they persist in refusing to emigrate; and make such other distribution i! the land as will prem ie the best interests of tbe $tate. It is important that some thing be done speedily. The prccions metal is found in that section of the State in great abundance, and is d; iiy removed by citizens of other states, which of right be longs to the citizens of Georgia. We did indulge a ford hope that unuer lhe Administration of the pre ent Chief Magistrate of the United States wc would l avt been re-* lieved from the necessity of legislating fur ihcs? deluded people (the Chcr.-keo>;) but the philanthropic, wise and humane efforts of the Pi evident, have been paral) zed; and obstacles thrown in the way at cverv step, by an unwise and unjust opposition of some of our Northern brethren, that would dishonor a less enlightened people. V\ e fur- bear going into a history of our rights upon this subject as they art well understood by the people of Georgia.— We are gratified to see the subject rmt promptly and en ergetically hy functionaries high in office, and fiighK re commend the candid and nhk remarks whieh the barmd and patriotic Judge riajton gaveln charge to the Grand Jury at the last term of the Superior Court of Clark etu-n- ty. And in relation to the ccn:munirniiou made by Mr. Wirt to the Governor, tie highly approve of the m oner and style in which His Excellency has met that presump tuous and dictatorial letter. One other subject of importance has been under the consideration ol the Grand Jury: the establishment of a Supreme Court for the correction ..f I'rnxs.

David B Ferryman, Holiday II Harrell, A new steamboat has been buili to run between Albany and New York. She is to be called the “South America,” and is intended to run against the “North America.”— It is expected she wi‘l go through in nine hours or at a rate of 151-2 miles per boui!—Sav. Geor. The following was the cargo of the brig Flora, tost in the late gale while on her passage from this port for Phila delphia, viz. 32 cases silks, 10 packages books, lot of fur niture, 83 cases and boxes shoes, 21 packages glass ware, 11 bales duck, 45 boxes chocolate, 10,000 laths 500 whole land half barrels and about 560 bales, boxes and eases of different kinds of merchandize, including a large quantity of domestic manufactures. It will be seen by this state ment that the Fiora had a very valuable cargo, all of which; it is supposed, is irrecoverably lost. She was a fine vessel, had recently '•":en added to the line of packets, and we hear was insured in this city to the amount of $S,t>00. A small part of the cargo only, it is stated, was insured at the offices in this city. Captain John Clark commanded the Flora, and his brother was first mate of tbe vessel. We have not been able to obtain the names ofthe crew, Mr. Webster, of Gray, Me., and a Mr. Green, of Rhode Island, were seamen. The second mate Mr. Jordon, as we stated yesterday, was the only persons saved from the wreck.— Boston Com. Adv.

FROM THE GEORGIA JOURNAL. Gainesville, 25lh August, 1830 Messrs. Editors- I have just seen an article in the Courie r, of lhe 16th inst. which l wish you lo re-publish, with my remarks on the same. It is over the signature of “Ao Ass tycr.” No Assayer begins by ackno«ledge- ing lie is no assayer, which was unnecessary; for I expect ‘ very ho-iy knew that, even before his expose on the sub ject of my coin. But if he had ended by saying he was no calculator, nor knew any thing about tbe standard vorlh of gold by the carat, he would deserve some credit lor his candor. He says he “has taken the trouble to have a piece cf my coin, purporting to be worth $10, as sayed at the Mint. It was (bund to he but 22 1-2 carats fine.” Now reckon again—The $10 piece I have esti mated at 95 cents per dw t. He at 22 1 2 carats fine—va lue $9 38—“A trifle”—“consequently worth a trifle more than Georgia gold-dust.” And another slrangt calcula tion—“$9 38 cents, giving me a profit of about 7 per cent.” when it is well known that the buyers have to give from 87 1-2 (the lowest) to 90 cents per dwt. at the mines, which is more than 22 caraf gold is worth attbu Mint. And the gold dust taken collectively from the Mines, with the ordinary cleaning, will loose from 3 to 6 percent, in fluxing.” Where, then, is the “7 per cent Joseph Blackshear, James Bryan, Henry Bunn.

HENRY LOYLF.bi Marion, Sept 10 u t r profit.” No buyer can average one month’s business, for the gold fluxed, to cost him as low as the worth of 22 1-2 carats fine at the Mint. I do not know how much that “trifle more than Georgia gold-dust” is, and it might have some of the heavy buyers, perhaps somein Augusta, to know, if it is not too late, how much they may lose on their gold in fluxing. For according to No Assayer’s weighty statement, they must be engaged in a bad specu lation, unless they get a premium for tbe sand, &c. But as the currency and demand (br ray coin, and its credit in some of the Banks, seem to warrant the course, I shall continue to stamp and issue the Georgia gold in pie ces of $10, $5, and $2 50.
