CHOPS. *Augusta, Jhitfust 1 —The Farmer’s prospects in the upper country, are very discouraging ; although, generally speak ing, anticipated evils are rarely found in the end to be cu mute ns urate with the reality. The Wheat Harvest has yielded so poor a produce, that many persons say that it will be difficult to get j»eud next ye»\r. The crop of Indian corn is somewhat bptter, and promises a greater return; but in very many places, apprehensions are entertained that enough will not be ruined for ordinary consumption. The Cotton looks better than either of the foregoing, but as if it were ordained that misfortune should never visit ns sin gle handed, the Hot has commenced its ravages, and already threatens very se rums mischief to the Plant.

No wonder then that the City Council caused, at the public expense, every preparation to be mnde which might contribute to the respect of his memory. His body was embalmed on the night of his death, and removed to the City-Hall, where it lay in state for three days.

FROM HAVANA. Charleston, August 9.—The. following is an extract from a letter dated 24th ult. received in this city via Savannah : “ The-..Captain General of this island died on the 19th ult. and has been buried with the greatest shew and parade. Here the greatest tranquility prevails. The yellow fever has been, and s'ill is very destructive. The Emperor Itorbide has re-established the Inquisition of the Friars in Mexico; he persecutes liberal and philanthropic men ; he will not permit the European Spaniards to return to their native country, nor enter this newly es tablished empire ; and-he endeavours io prevent the exportation of the great i idles appertaining to the Spaniards who have made their fortunes in that country. The people ot New Spain are divided into four parties, to wit, Imperialists, Repu blicans, Serviles and Constitionalists; which certainly will cause civil discard and intestine war.” Another letter, of (he C3d, states that theU.

His talents are highly spoken of both in the field and the cabinet, and his manners very engaging. I was much pleased with him on being introduced— Ids countenance is placid, his person tull ami thin, and his hair grey; he is about 65 years of age. The city is and has been for some time very sickly, and the number uf deaths very great. Among the shipping in the hajhnur the fever has raged, and many a puor sailor carried to his long account.

An officer of the Franklin 74, writes to his Iriond in Philadelphia, under date of April 30, and mentions the following u& the reasons of Lord Cnchreneior captur ing the Spanish Frigate Ve'iiglmzo : " The commander of the' VVnganza. knew that Cochrane had lieSn in pursuit of him for some time. Whun he came offGuyaquil, he hoisted a (lag of truce. During the armistice lie capitulated by giving up Ids ship, for which the govern, ment Was to make him some small remu neration, When Cochrane came off the harbour ahd found the -conditions under which she was given up, he said, " if the commander of the frigate had done his duty to his government, the ship must have been a prize to him, and fie would not be done out of her through trpkflhery.’S He demanded her of the Governor, who refused to give her up. The stiip at this time was stripped—her sails and rigging all un shore. Cochrane sent his boats in and took possession of her, laudi-d his men, and carried off die sails and rigging, i in defiandc of the Governor and his force. This will be a subject to be settled here- utter, by the governments of Chili and , Peru. Cochrane has hoisted his flag on ,(\ hoard the prize and is now cruiaing in tier.
