T ilJE first year of tins publication having teen con cluded, the “Reporter” will hereafter be published weekly as well as semi-monthly. We feel grateful to the public for the liberal patronage awarded us, (having now a more extensive circulation than any other newspaper in the United States,) and shall leave no measure unre sorted to, in order to render this Journal valuable in all respects, not only to merchants, banking institutions, b olters, and keejiers of hotels, but to the community in general. We have engaged the literary assistance of se veral gentlemen well known as writers, and have corres pondents in all the principal cities and towns in the Uni ted States. We also receive weekly more than five hun dred newspajiers from different parts of the Union, so that whatever information may be circulated through the medium of the “Reporter,” and the resources front whence it is derived, we can confidently state, may, in all cases, be relied upon as correct. Bank notes are being counter feited in every direction; and on the arrival of every ves sel from Europe, or the creation of every national excite ment, the state of the market varies. Every person should, therefore, te possessed of some certain guide by which all such information might, be received by the ear liest mails, and at such a rate as not to render its posses sion an exorbitant tax. Such a Journal is exactly what we endeavor to render the “Reporter,” in an effort to ac complish which, neither pains nor expense will at any lime be spared on tiie part of the publisher. Every num ber will contain a carefully corrected Bank Note List, List of Broken Banks, Prices Current , Prices of Gold, Prices of Bank and Insurance Stock, and a description of all Counterfeit and Altered Notes in circulation through out the United States, and all such information as is likely to throw light upon the subjects embraced in the design of this Journal. The latest foreign news, togeth er with much original and well selected matter, will al so be found in the columns of the “Reporter.” The terms of the weekly publication are $3 per an num—the semi-monthly $2—singles copies 12 1-2 cents.

For terms apply to J." B. HERBERT, & CO. Savannah, Oct. 13. 15 tit 50,000 ACRES OF LANdT T -4E undersigned proposes to sell Filly Thousand Acres ol line Land in what is called the Western District ol 1 ennesse, among which is some of his best land, situate on the waters of Loosbatchee, Big Elatchee, 1*orked Deer, Obion and Mississippi rivers,—a large por tion of which is'the best cotton land in the Sta e, and well adapted to the growth of Corn, Tobacco and every other production common to the same latitude. It is sit uated between latitude 35 and 3G-30!! No new country jtossesses more advantages. Ten years atm the whole population scarcely exceeded five hundred souls, it now contains largely upwards of one hundred thousand—an increase beyond example, considering the whole District k nn» nw» tl.«» OO miles .-qiiiire. Among the great advantages this fertile District has over all others, are the facilities afforded to trade and na vigation:—bounded on the West by the mother of Rivers, the great Mississippi, and on the Last by the Tennessee River, both navigable at all seasons of the year, by the largest class of steam boats;—the main tributary streams are navigable with keel and flat boats—ami the small class of steam boats ply regularly up Big Hatchie, as far as Boliva, w hich is situated near the centre of the District ; a large portion of the above lands lie on this stream and South of it, immediately in that section w here there arc already ffltw-y large cotton farms. At this time, this sec tion 01 country offers to capitalists great inducements;— land is unusually low—the population of the most re spectable character, industrious, intelligent and enter prising. Schools and acttdeniics are now in operation equal to the best in the state, and emigrants are daily coining from Virginia, North and South Carolina, Geor gia and Alabama; and many farms have been opened to the extent of 3 and 400 acres producing more cotton to the acre than any other land in the same latitude. Twelve years experience has tested-the salubrity of ihe climate— no new country was ever blessed with a greater share ol - gencral good health. Another great advantage peculiar to this section ot country is, that navigable streams are so dispersed, that there is no point at which a settlement can be made, that will exceed a greater distance from na vigation than twenty miles, and tHat the Mississippi riv- pr is easy of access by land carriage at many convenient E nin Is within this range of country,—whereas at no point e.low Memphis, until you reach the Walnut hills, a dis tance of 400 niilcs, can you approach this great River at high water on either side from the back country by land carriage,—owing to the extensive swamps and lakes cn both sides below the southern line of Tennessee. Anoth er advantage may here lie suggested to cotton planners— the great distance west from ihe Allegany Mountains— as a desrree west from said mountains is considered by judicious and experienced cotton planters equivalent to a degree South for the production of cotton. Such is my exalted opinion of this fine country, that no reasonable price would induce me at this time to part from so much of my lands, did not the situation of my affairs make it absolutely necessary to raise funds to discharge the heavy debts which have been so long and harrassing- ly pressing on me—For the reason last mentioned, the undersigned washes to make one large sale, which will en able him to close up his business at once. fCjF*lF 50,- 000 acres can be disposed of at one sale, I will give a great, bargain on the most liberal credits, say from one to ten years, by such instalments as may be agreed on.— I shall be absent for the next, sixty days, during which time, those who w ish to purchase, can find a list of the different tracts at my office, in Nashville, or they can ap ply to L. P. Cheatham, Esq. who is in possession of my price and terms. When I return, I will shew the lands to any desirous of purchasing. JOHN C.

On the 15th a small party of Americans and English marched to the relief of the inhabitants, and for some time arrested the progress of the insurrectionists by preventing them from crossing a bridge. To the astonishment of every foreigner, the Brazilians kept close within their houses. At the commencement of the disturbances, the General in command put spurs to his horse, and was not seen nor heard ot until quiet was restored, when he returned to the town, apparently much exasperated, with a body guard of 800 men.—-The number of the soldiers amounted to 1400, while the militia in the city and suburbs could muster 10,000 fighting men (it the term may be used,) but in con sequence of tiie sudden flight of the commander^ they knew not where to rally or meet. - Through the perseverance of a distinguished Brazilian, nam ed Sheco Molack, formerly commander of the ar my, a body of twelve or thirteen nundred men was raised and marched into the town, and with very little fighting restored every thing to quietness. Thirty or forty of the militia Were killed, while a- bout 470 soldiers Were left dead on the field. It w as estimated that upwards of900,000 tnifeeas worth of property was destroyed. A great many persans made for the countiy with their booty.—Some of these were caught, and marched towards the town. On the way many were told to run off, and while so doing were brutally shot down. The gentleman who relates these particulars witnessed the deaths of twenty persons in this manner. It was general ly thought that some of the inferior militaryofficers were concerned in the plot- The ioldiers them selves sAid that their leader had not been caught, and great fears were entertained feat he should try to raise a body of men to liberate the soldiers con fined on board of the vessels in the harbour. If the latter should get on shore the destruction of lives and property will be immense, especially among the foreigners, as the soldiers express a determination to avenge the death of their comrade#. About one hundred foreigners exerted themselves to put down the revolution, for which they were upbraided by such of the inhabitants as dared to make their ap pearance, and asked “what right they had to in terfere and shoot their countrynica.” It was the g enerally entertained opinion that another dietur- ance would take place ere long, on account of the hatred existing between tiie old Portuguese and Brazilians; On the same night a disturbance of a similar na ture took place at Paraida, a small town on the .coast, about 90 miles from Pernambuco.
