X}, S. Stoop of War //ortuft.—We regret to
3cvn from the Norfolk Herald, that a malignant
•feter baa appeared among the crew of this ves-
•el. The Hornet arrived at Crnne^ Island from
,*es on the 11th ult. was regularly visited by the
Health Officer, and permitted to proceed fur
thur up, a» her crew wap considered in a health
ful state, and no sickness had appeared on board
during her cruise. From thence site proceed
ed to the navy yard, where Midshipman Zant-
•jllnger and Newton commenced breaking up the
-ship's hold, ami landing the contents. Mr. Zaiit*
finger was soon after attacked with • fever o!
* decidedly malignant type, as waa also Mr. New
ton, and subsequently seventeen of th$ crew
tm doubt p 1 oceeding frotn the deleterious air|
confined in tho bold. The Hornet, pursuant to|
an order of the Hoard of Health, was towed
down on tho 29Ui ult. to the llite of Craney,
.Island. Midshipman ZmUinger died on the
*^8th ult. and one of the men died ou the eve-
■ uing of the same day.
Health tf XtvrYork.—,Seven ooaci of yellow'
fever we e reported hy the Hoard of lleulth on
the 29th, and four cases and three deaths on the
HOth. Si. Paul’s Chapel in Broadway and the
JNovUt Dutch Church in William street have
•been closed. The city still remained in a state
of bustle and confusion, and immense quantities
ol goods were moving up Broadway. The New
York Gaxctle of the 30ili contains 470 notices
of removals. The Inspectors of tho Hoard of
.Health have examined three stores in the in-
fjeted district, hut have discovered no hides.
Greenwich, says the Mercantile Advertiser, is
alt alive with merchants and business, a*>d anew
,^oity is made there as if by enchantment, within
the last week. The principal shipping is haul
ed to tho docks in the neighborhood oi the d'atc
.jprison.
. The yilliAv fever, whose ravages during the
present season in place* hitherto coivj'ulcrud as
in a great measure exempt from them, it has
been lately a principal duty to record, 1ms ap
peared In New London. An extract of a letter
from % gentleman in that place ofvthe 2Gth ult
oays—“ You will probably hear of our having
yellow fever in this place. On Wednesday
or Thursday -last, a vessel arrived here fVom
"Wilmington,' N. C. with, I think, all tick on board
but one. The Health Physician turned the sick
over to tho U. B. Hospital Physician, who took
t building for them on the Neck, directly in
-front of ui,’Wli«rc he placed his four patients
-Un Saturday evening, one of them was thonght
1o be dying. Yesterday morning he was walk,
ing about the room, apparently convalescent,
tnd about 3 o'clock, P. M. was a dead man. Last
evening one of the others was very ill, but the
.streaming two were apparently better. 1 have
got heard from them since.”
-S^ain.-The unfortunate situation ofSpain*there
■ean be no doubt it produced by the efforts of the
egtntt and hirelings Of the Holy Alliance. We do
hope forthe sake of the little constitutional lib-
■erty yet remaining *n Europe, that the>panish
-people may be successful-in foiling their inti-
nidious attempts. From the complexion of all
the intelligence received, the opinion that Fer
dinand is in co-operation with hit legitimate
brethren in the conspiracy against the rights of
his people, appears well founded. A late Lon
don paper quotes a letter from an English gen
tleman at Bayonne, which throws some light
upon this subject. The writer observes—“ Hos
tilities with Spain are not expected before th$
end of this or the course of next month. The'
plan against that country' is in part detested. It
embraced* project to get Ferdinand out of the
country, which he was to re-enter at the head
of a foreign army. Ilost af the powers were
4nore or lees implicated in this project.” Whe
ther or not this be aaying too much, we are not
competent to decide. The recent occurrences
in Spain however—the attempt made by the
-gnardato seize the person of the king ; his un
willingness to dismiss them; and their sudden
departure tnsnd reception by the French Csr-
den Sumtair—oil corroborate it. The attempts
of the enemies of liberty hive however, fur
4>ncc been foiled, end wc sincerely hope the
•amc fate w iiWttead theta in future.
Wt this dif publish the aceminFPren by tbe
otlcr party, of the recent ettraordinnry affair
•tMillrilgevillc, (as for as it appears in the pa.
pir» of that city.) If not written by the Govern
jujhimsdt, It evidently was written under his
Miction, utd may be di-rmcd semi-official. Be
tween thin and the former statement, there in
a. obvious di*cicpnncy. The difference is,
owever, unimportant to the great question of
ic propriety or impropriety of thb Governor's
oitdiicl in dcclsring the office of Secretary ot
Hate vacant, and appointing a successor to Gol.
iMiimond. We think thsl the least Governor
Dlark could hate done, would have been to no
tify the Secretary's friends tiiat his presence
was ruquired, and to have given a sufficient time
fur tlam to have dispatched a messenger to
him, requiring his attendance at the Scat of go.
vernment. If this notice had been disregarded,
the Governor might, after a due delay, have
proceeded to nominate a successor. It is true,
that some evil might hfcVr. resulted from tins
course, but much 1cm, we think) than it is pro
bable will be the consequence of the step which
the Governor has taken. Laying every other
consideration aside, wc cannot reflect without
puin upon the great and intense excitement
winch this affair will produce in the state.—
Those who voyage the si ream of politics, should
be the last to trouble its waters, li was due to
this unfortunate faction-rent state, to permit her
to (lose as quietly as possible, through the <n
U-rludc of the gubernatorial elections. Her rc
pose is sufficiently agitated by the recollection*
ol the past and the anticipated struggles of the
future. To ail who leel more interested for the
honor of our state than for the triumph of a
faction, the recent violent transactions at Mil-
Icilgevillc must produce the deepest mortifica
tion. We have no doubt Ihnt there are many
who rejoice in the misconduct of the Governor,
because they deem 'll the prelude to his com-
[llete discomfiture * an4 that there are otheta*
who are gratified at the overthrow of the decre
tory of Stale—for motives alike honorable,
cfticli we would say, that the peace and quiet ot
{lie state are much luoic important thuu the
prostration of vne faction or the elevation of an-
lot tier. Tow, so long as the present parties
thstruct and <W base Hie state, it is of little ini
jportance which shall furnish a Governor, or
which shall supply a Secretary of State—at best,
it is but the triumph of u faction—and we hate
such triumphs. It is usually much less a ques
tion who sliull be successful, than which party
shall succeed; mid in )brniing,tlieir orders of
buttle, the bclligcraut factions ure more sedu
lous to obtain champions who cun enlist the po
litical Bate of the day, than such as may ad
vance the .permunenl interests of the slate
the true spoil of wifl-furc, the subordinate ac
tors in these disgraceful conflicts, Ukc rank in
proportion to tin ir powers to injure the enemy
—not by open and nit^ly means—stratagems
and tricks are usuajjl' most available, and the
cunning of Uly sacs is preferred to tbe skill and
science of Achilles.
Whilst expressing our decided disapproba
tion of the Governor, we cannot puss over the
violent and disgraceful conduct of Colonel Ham
mond to Mr. Whitaker, and to General Clink.
Such a course is calculated to Icgaen very much
the sympathy of the community; to excite sus
picions that ho was not himself qualified for the
office which lie had filled, and to add very much
to the d.sgust which every reflecting mind
must feel at the whole transaction. Laying,
however, every thing else aside, we deeply la
ment the impression which this affair must
make abroad. We cottld disregard tile ridicule
of the wits, hut wc a’*e not prepared to bear the
dignified disapprobation and cen&ure of the
wise and the virtuous.
It is a humiliating reflection that whilst with*
in the last thirty years Georgia lias rapidly ad
vanced in social improvements, mental expan
sion—and, in fine, in all that gives charms to so
ciety nnu happiness to man, that the same ran.
corifU3 antipathies and violent personal parly
fends should still exist in our political charac
ter which prevailed in the post-revolutionary
days f whig and tory ; in the after times of Yu-
zoo and anli-Wsoo, and which afterwards in the
frontier counties existed between the Lynch
and antWLyncli. It is true there is much less
blood sited, but the deficit of blood has been
amply atoned for in the profusion of ink. If,
th< n, a more summary process was adopted to
prostrate an enemy, the laws or exile relieved
us of the offenders, and the ablation of the par
ties was some atonement to society for its vio
lated laws. It is perhaps problematical whe
ther society has derived much advantage from
the change which party warfare has undergone.
If personal assaults are les9 frequent, it is un
doubtedly true that less reverence is paid to
political virtue and integrity. Force of arms
has yielded to-force of calumny; and it is truly
unfortunate that there is a general fondness
among the factionisls for unqualified abuse of
their opponents. Without much regard to the
general private standing of individuals, it is
commonly a maxim that your opponent is a
scoundrel and your abettor a man of honor;
and an individual may change the hues of his
character as oftenos he will change sides. Pass
ing ever, however, tbo»consequence.s which
suebaatateof things haa produced upon the
actors themselves in these scenes, we cannot
reflect without shuddering upon the malignant
influence which our factions must exercise up
on the rising generation. If maxims adopted
by many of our local politicians and enforced by
their daily examples,,exercise that influence
upon our youth, which we cannot but expect,
it is impossible to anticipate without the deep
est sorrow the character of our politics twenty
year* lienee. To trace the causes which have
produced and perpetuated the present state ol
parties, i« the function rather of the historian
than the editor of an ephemeral publication, ft
is however a subject of much importance to the
state, and would afford matter of deep interest

Every day’s experience proves the necessity
of a thorough reform in the penitentiary system
of those s'ates which have adopted it. As at

than a school for every kind of villainy. An or

bank notes, has recently been discovered within
the walls of the Baltimore Penitentiary. One

Four of the convicts were concerned, one of
whom cut the dies, whilst the other thr* e were

MORE SPANISH PIRACY.
Captain Uarns, of ihe brigantine George
Beckwith, (arrived in Hampton Ruuds on
YVetlnestluy) from Ponce, states, that the
seas about Porto Rico are annoyed with
Spanish privateera, and that their depre
dntiuns arc an frequent und vexatious, that
a vessel, however legal may be tier pur
suits, is not hy any means safe if she is
fallen in with by them. The brig Gen.
A. Jackson, Langdon, nf and from New
York for Curacoa, was fallen in with by a
felucca of this description, when, after a-
verhauling her papers, they were pro
nounced apurioos or false, the privateers
men declaring that they knew she was
bound to the Main, and immediately pro
ceeded to rob and plnnder Capt. Langdon,
in whose possession they found nnly six
teen doubloons in money, which they soon
deprived him of, took his vessel into
Ponce for trial, which was progressing
when the G. Beckwith sailed, and there
was little d ubt but she would be con
demned—Before the privateersmen, how.
ever, had got their prize into Ponce, they
deprived Capt. Langtlun of Ida command,
having first beaten him in a most unmerci
ful manner over his face and every part
nf his body, and then turned him ashore
and when Capt, Barns saw him, which was
just as he sailed, he was hardly able to
move about, living upon the charity uf
soch Americans as were there and able
to assist him.

MEASURES RESPECTING THE
COLONIES.
The Cortes having nn the 26th June;,
discussed the measures proposed by flip-
Secretary of State, for the provinces be
yond the seas, adopted nearly the wltol®
of them as follows 1—Government are to
be lolly authorised to uct in this affair a#
may be expedient, and circumstances re
quire, in each uf the placeB where the ip-*
terpnsitioD of their influence and author-t
ity shall be necessary, nr to use more effi
cient and more expeditious means to pro
mote their undertakinge. They are to
afford protection to the utmost extent ot
their power, to the persons* and property
of the partizans of the mother country*
whether they wish to come over to the
Peninsula, ur choose to remain in trans
marine provinces. The greatest effort*
are to he made to secure from every dan
ger, or invasion, the faithful provinces of.
America, and particularly the Isles of
Cuba and Porto Rico, and to establish
more frequent communications with them.
Whatever goods and property are at pre
sent in the Peninsula or adjacent Islands,
or tnay be brought over in future, belong
ing to natives or inhabitants nf the pro
vinces beyond the seas, or of the Peninsu
la, who reside in those provinces, what
ever their political opinion nr conduct may
have been during thg disturbances, shall
be respected and protected like those of
the Peninsular Spaniards, in conformity
with the Constitution and the Laws. Na
tives of Spanish America, or of the Pe-,
ninsula, coming over to Spain or the ad
jacent Islands, whatever their conduct
or political opinions may have been, shall
be allowed to do so without being anywise
molested, on account of their said opinions,
nr conduct previous to tlioir coming, ex
cept only officers of the Spanish army,
who have abandoned their colours, anti
entered the service of the malcontenip ;
with respect to them, Government shall
propose to the Cortes what it may deem
expedient. If the sums already voted are
insufficient for the above pnrpuse 1 btiger
one is to be proposed by Ministers^jbijpB
shall be exclusively applied to the asK*
And, lastly, the Congress will turn (licit
attention to the great advantages that
would accrue to the country, from send
ing able Naturalists to Cuba, Porto Rico,
and the Phillipine Islands, and promoting
in them, the study of every branch of Na
tural History, and particularly of chytnis*
try and mineralogy.
The Committee further reported upon
and the Cortes likewise approved of the
following proposition made by one of their
Members :
That, in order to Itocp up and d/attr
closer and closer the relations between
America and the Peninsula and to prevent
the interruption of the Commercial inter
course between the two countries, Govern
ments shall auljiorise its Agents to enter
into Conventional Treaties of Commerce
with those provinces, on the basis which
it shall lay down in its instructions.
In consequence of a nute presented by l
the British minister to the Spanish govern?^
ment, tbe Cortes have empowered the I at-,
ter to make suitable arrangements (subject
to their approbstionj for the payment of
certain sums due to British bouses, 5
articles furnished during tho'awpr for
