It waa during a conversation with my

the fatal kfecte of which reached many
perinna in the United Slate*, that lie gav«
me the following narrative, tnaccount lor
Ihe enute of the disasters, which had an
suddenly befallen that amiable and mo
dest young man.
lie s'ateil that during the negociation
at Ghent, between the British and Ameri
can Oummtaaionera, Mr. Jonathan Ktis-
ttell, one of tbe Commiaaionera on the part
of the United States, conveyed to Mr.
Thomas Mullett, (of the eahl house nf
Thomas Mullett, I. I. Evan* Ik Co.) from
time tn time, and until the time of hi*
death, regular advices ae tn (he progress
and prospects ofthe negoeia lions at Ghent.
Connding in the correctness nf the infur
ovation ao received, that house made, im
men**! purchases of cotton and other Ame
rican products, which were unfortunately
held by the surviving partner, until the
sudden and unexpected occutfettce of
peace, like a destructive whirlwind, swept
away his fortune,
It is necessary here to state, which I
do upon the outivority of my informant,
and upon the information derived from a
highly rrspeatable merchant now in New-
York, who wna in I,om|on during the
pendency of the negociations nt Ghent
that from the moment tlmt Mr. Russell
received intelligence uf the death of Mr.
Thninas Mullett, lie suspended all further
communication to thnt house. And not
withstanding the surviving partner rgceiv
etl no furtbpr advice* from Mr. Russell,
and was informed from another and friend
ly quarter'ifnttg peace would certainly
be concluded in a few days ; anti that in
consequence uf the death of his father,
he would not receive any further advices
from Mr. Russell, he would not lieprc
vailed to b 'lie.Vc it, and though repeated
ly Urged to sell out, lie declined doing so
futally confiding in the accuracy of the
iulormation and advices already received
aml'bHuxlly pmiating in The belief, that
had any changes favourable (o the con
clusion of peace occurred tit Ghent, Mr.
Russell would, in good faith, have conti
nued his-communications and advices to
.the house, the same us though his father
hud been living.

I allude, and by whose testimony and by

I shall think it proper also to apprise
you, that I shall endeavour to prove, by
the testimony of a person now in France,
and the oaths of two gentlemen now in
New-Yotk, that Mr-Jonalhan Russell dill
also communicate to unother person in

In order to account for this gentleman's
having made me arquainted with the farts
which 1 am about to dutail, it aeems-ne
cessary, as you will no doubt give this
letter publicity, that I here observe, that
Messes. Thomas Mullett, I. 1. Evans &
Co. were for many years one of the first
and most distinguished American commis
sion houses in'Londnn, and that the se
nior partner, Mr. Thomas Mullett, waa
warmly attached to the United States, in
which, nt an early period, he resided fur
several years. This circumstance and the
seal which he always manifested tor the
welfare and independence Of the Ameri
can people, ns well as for the particular
interests of his numerous correspondents,
procured for him the regard, and brought
tim acquainted with most of the American
cititens who visited London, as well as
with the successive ministers, charge d
affaires, ami consuls of the United States,
resident in London—among whom, was
Mr. Jonathan Russell, and between whom
and Mr. Thomas Mullett, to my personal
knowictlge, there existed a very intimate
and friendly acquaintance, from the au
tumn of 1811, to the month of October,
1819, when Mr.'Russell embarked for Ihe.
United States in a cartel, which sailed
from Plymouth to New York.
It may also bo proper tn state, that Mr.
I. -I. Evans, a very enlightened and dia
tinguiahed merchaut, and one nf the part
nera of Mr. Thos. Mullett, died about
the time of, or just previous to the dcclar
ationnf war by the United States against
Great Britain, in June 1812—and that
Mr. Thomas Mullett, the senior partner,
died in December, 18W, during the pen
dency ol the negociations at Ghent, leay-
ing to hts son, the junior and sole surviv
-ing partner of his long established house,
a large fortune, and probubly the most ex.
tensive and valuable American business
(particularly with New-York) at that time
enjoyed by any commercial house in Lon
don.
Having known that respectable house
for many years, and experienced from

Letter to the Editor of thr .dnfutta Chroricle.
Jlugust ll.s-According.to my promise
I write you the newa fronr'Athens. Near
ly two thousand persons from almost eve
ry pat t ofthe State witnessed the Com
mencement, at Franklin College; and
were much edified by, and gratified with
the excellent performances of the different
classes of Students. It was a proud sight
to see so many persons ofthe first respec
tability, with ho inAch fashion and beauty
collected together, to give eclat to this iu-
teresting institution, and to cheer the
effort* of the rising generation in literary
fame. The disposition to please, and be
pleased, seemed to bo entirely 1 mutual,
between those who saw and those who
acted; betweonthe Students and the au
ditory ; and the expectations of neither
party were disappointed; the one listened
with admiration to the satisfactory exer
cises of ihe other, stimulated to the great
est exertion by the immense concourse of
delighted spectators. Tfte citizens of
Georgia may now gratulate themselves
upon the prospect of having an institution
equal tu any of the same kind in the U.
States, and will be no longer under the
necessity of sending their sons abroad for
an education. It long slumbered in ob
scurity, and seemed to be alm-mt past re
covery ; but the trustees never despaired
and to their perseverance and the benefi
cent appropriations of the Legislature
of 1821, is to be attributed the resuscitat
ed and invigorated situation of Ihe Uni
versity of Georgia, which will, it ia to he
be hoped.be the seat ot science and liters
ture, henceforth, and forever.
Only nin&peranns graduated; but those
who entered the senior clast were much
more numerous.

THE FRIGATE MACEDONIAN.
•iVjr/olk, dugu*t 7—It wss our me
lancholy duty on Monday, to announce
the arrival in Hampton Roads, of the 1L
8. frigate Macedonian, Copt. Biddle, un
der the circumstances of distress to which
our naval service, heretofore furnished no
parallel. During a cruise of a few month*
in the West Indies, she had lost 10 of her
officers, 67 of her crew, and had then 50
laying ill with a violent ship-fever. Awars
of the solicitude which this shocking in
telligence would produce nmnng Ihe nu-
relalives and friends of the officers, to
learn who were the victims of this awful
visitant, we lost no time in searching for
the unwelcome particulars, which tho
strict prohibition of intercourse with tho
ship prevented our receiving until last
evening.
In the gloomy catalogue which we annex
the list of friends of Ihe n»vy will recog
nize the extinguishment of some of the
brightest promises presented by our naval
Register. Would they had fallen in 0*
more glorious enuse.
The frigate is new anchored in tho
Bite nf Craney Island. Yesletday thq
sick, which have increased to 57, were all
removed from the ship to tbe Island, and
the well were put ua board the Alert,
which was towed down by the steam boat
Norfolk, and anchored near the ship. The
medical services of Dr. J. Condery, have
been added to those of Dr. Williamson,
and every effort is made tor the cumfort
and relief uf the sick on (he Island.
Beacon.
The Mlottirg is a correct liat of the
name* of the officers ot the V. S. frigate
Macedonian, who died during her absence
from the United States.
