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 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.”

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.

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

probability nad taken in in extra quantity of alcoholic gas,
we have not heard of any other bad efluct resulting from
the occasion.—Irishman.

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.

A large and enthusiastic meeting suddenly callod, as

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.

(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.

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

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. It has beer:
1 so often a subject of grand jtny presentments, and its im*
portunce so ab-y set forth, that uc wnl on this occasion
only add our entire Conviction of the propritty ..f such a
treasure And in order that the labors of the Judaeu
tliroughou: the State may beequaliztd we recommend the
( nactmenl of a law compelling them t-> alternate
We request the Clerk of the Inferior Coin t to examine
the Estray Book and notify every defaulter (if any) in
writing of the amount and nature of the default, and that
ht notify John Fort specially to make a return of the
amount he is chargeable on his private book or otherwise;
and that the Clerk return a list to the n xt Grand Jury.
We tender our thanks to his Honor Judge Holt, for
his punctual and impartial discharge of the duties of ilio
court during th* present term. And to the Solicitor t-e-
neral, we tender our thanks for hi- respectful attention
towards inis body.
We request that our presentments may be published h:

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

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.
