MONDAY EVENING. Ei.buarv 7, 1825.
FIRE !—An unoccupied tenement in
site Brick building in Broughton street,
belonging to the estate of Col, Steele
"White, was discovered to be on Fire
this morning about 11 o'clock,but by the
prompt exertion of the Firemen and (citi
zens, it was speedily extinguished. The
fire was kindled iu closet on the second
iloor, and had made a complete progress
under the principal part of tHcjdoorsand
the ceiling of the House, before it broke
out. It was no doubt intended that it
should have broke out in the night but was
fortunately preycuted by the confined sit
uation in w hich it was placed. It is sup
posed the House was entered throngh the
hack windows of the second story whicu
were open. Suspicions are entertained
that it was set on file by a black boy who
runaway about a week since, andwns well
acquainted in the neighborhood. The
damage is supposed tube about 0 .or 700
dollars. Tiie building we understand
was not insured.
SUPERIOR COURT.
This morning between 11 and 12 o*
clock, the prisoners convicted during the
present term of this Court, were arraign
ed and the following sentences pronoun
ced by Judge Wayne
Patrick Dunn, to the Penitentiary at
hard Inbor four years, for having in his
possession an altered Bank uotc, with iu-
tention fraudulently to pass it.
Samuel Porter, to the Penitentiary at
hard labor four years, for Sirnpc larceny
--value of goods 20 dollars.
James Swain, to the Penitentiary six
years, at hard labor, for burglary.
DanielDevoy and Bridget Devoy his.
wife, to the Penitentiary at hard labor
seven years each, for passing counterfeit
bank notes.
Robbers Taken.—Thomas F. Hall, and
Samuel Els worth, the individuals accus
ed of having robbed the store.of Mr. Wil
liams in this city,, and the house of Mr.
Hunk uud Mr. Abbott oq the Augusta
Read, were brought to town on Saturday
night lust, and committed to prison. They
were, arrested- near Coosawhatchio by
Constable Hunt, of Effingham County.
One silver ladle, table and ten spoons, a
quantity of clothing nod fifty dollars be
longing to Mr. Abbott—a watch and gun
the property of Mr. Hunk—and sundry
nruct-s of merchandise belonging to Mr.
William Williams, were found in the
possession of these two. culprits.
T hry were brought tip this molding before
Justice Russell for examination, which
was going on when our paper went to
press. It will be recollected by most of
our readers, that Hall not long since was
sentenced to death for killing a negro near
this city, but was pardoned by the Legis-
* Jattire—and Elswortb, his companion was
only a few weeks since discharged from
prison at the request of the Grand Jury,
where he had been confined for nearly, a
year os n common vagrant. ' <r
Mysterious Affair.—As three gentle-
rnen we re.returning to the city yesterday,
from that part of the svburbs called the
“Butcqer Pens,” they discovered aboiit
three hundred yards from the latter place,
oil the common, carefully covered with
branches of pine, in a small envity, of the
earth, in which water was lodged, a shirt
and a pair of pantaloons, both covered
with blood. The shirt was of linen; plain,
and marked ns well as could be mufoe out,
41 A* G. No. 18”—the pantaloons were of
“White cotton drill, with a pair of cotton
sflispenders attached, and on the right
sidfi, below the waistband, were cut, ap
parently with a sharp instrument—in the
shirt was a corresponding cut. They did-
not.appear to have been long jn that situa
tion. They were delivered to the Coro
ner,
Since the above was in typo we have
learnt tlmt strong suspicions are entertain
ed that the above clothes belonged to a
gentleman by the name of Archibald Gra
ham, of Camden County, who it is feared
has been murdered. Mr. G. sold a iot of
cotton in (his city last week, for which he
received 8406 in cash, and left town on
Thursday evening last, for Effingham and
Bulloch comities, from whence, he inten
ded returisg home, nnd is supposed to
have had nearly the amount of money a-
bove mentioned in his possession, at the
time. M*■
TftF. PRESIDENCY.
Wc have a letter from Washington city
of the 21UII ult. which say s to us. you have,
no doubt ere tills heard of the dcvclopc-
ment of the combination which lias recent
ly taken plnce bqtwecu the friends of Mr.
Adnins nnd Mr. Clay, for the purpose of
securing the election of Mr. Adams. This
coalition bus been apprehended for some
time—but it is now openly avowed and
the Rubicon passed. I four that Cruwford
and Jackson are both beaten. Clay will
carry five western states to Adfuns: Lou
isiana, Kentucky, Ohio; Missouri nnd Il
linois. His interest will also carry Mary
land^ which, it is generally believed here
New-York may be added. These with the
six New England states, will settle the
cbntest. The.' conduct of Mr. Clay, has
produced the greatest sensntion in this
place. His friends state that he would not
have abandoned Mr. Crawford, but his
health was so uncertain! and that it-would
be so dreadful that the Government should
devolve upon Mr Calhoun! With numer
ous other apologies. It is much to be re
gretted that Mr. Clay should have exchan
ged the high honors which await liim, for
the poor privilege of playing the courtier
in the Byzantine palace—But as n certain
individual once said, “every man has his
price.”
RULES FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL
BALLOT.
Under the Congress hend onr readers
will fiud the rules to he observed by the
House of Representatives in the election
of President of the U- States, ns reported
by the committc. These rules, it will be
observed, are not yet adopted; but it is
probable they will be without material a-
meadroent.
Avery interesting Message from the
President will also be found under our
Congressional head on the subject of re
moving the Indians, now within the limits
of the States. The message no doubt will
receive the serious consideration of the
National Legislature.
INDIAN TREATY—Instructions from
the War Department have been sent to
the Agent of Indian affairs at the Creak
Agency, to have the chiefs of the Creek
nation assembled at the Indian Springs
on the Till February, (this day) to hold a
Treaty for the cession of their territory
within the chartered limits of this State.
We understand that Messrs Stocks,
Hudson, and Holt, three of the members
o' the Committee, appointed during the
late session of the Legislature, to investi
gate the affuirs of the several banks of the
state, arrived in town this forenoon, from
Augusta. They will be joined fay William
Davies, Esq. of this city,nnd will proceed
in a day or two to the performance of the
important duties assigned to them.
A letter from Darien informs us, that
Alien B. Powell,Esq. of McIntosh Coun
ty, is a candidate for Governor of this
State in October next. We also learn
from the up country that John Clam,Esq
intends to offer himself to the people of
Georgia ns a candidate for the same office.
Vigorous exertions are making to secure
the election of this gentleman—but if rc
port.speaks true, the present incumbent
G. M. Taoup, will succeed by a handsome
vote.

The Legislature of Alabama, have de
termined not to elect commissioners to

It is said a large majority were opposed
to the measure, some on the grouud, that
if the commissioners were appointed, they
must be paid oti't of the “peoples” money,
others; thaf tho request of the Stateof

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.
LATE FROM CHILI AND PERU.
Lieut. Ramsay, of the Navy, has arri
ved in this city from the Pacific, being the
bearer of Despatches from our Minister
to Chili, and from Commodore null, the
Commander on that station. We have
been obligingly furnished, by him, with
thofollowing, as embracing such informa
tion ns he had been enabled to collect in
relation to the military operations, nnd
the, aspect- of affairs generally, in that
country.
By the last accounts from the Patriot
head quarters; bearing dates to the mid
die of September, Gen. Bolivnr was at
Guanianga, and the Royalists had fallen
hack to Cusco: there had been but one ac
tion, and that between tho Cavalry of the
two armies, which was the principal
pride and reliance of tho Spaniards; it
took place ut Junin, in the plan of Rcjus,
on the 5th ultimo—to which place Cnntt-
rac had ndvnnded from Janja, where his
head quarters had been for the Inst two
years, with the intention of attacking Bol
ivar, under the mistaken calculation tlmt
his force was in every way inferior. He
discovered his error too late, and immedi
ately began a precipitate retreat. Boli
vur, procciving no hopes of a general ac
tion, abandoned his infantry, nnd set off
at a gallop with his cavalry in pursuit; his
force was seven hundred only, and Cnn-
terac, seeing himself closely pressed, turn
ed with his cavalry, twelve hundred in
number, and made n desperate charge
The contest was very severe, but resulted
in the total roitt of the Spaniards, with the
loss of four hundred men ; that of the Pat
riots being only sixty. In a very few days
thereafter, desertions from the Royalists
had exceeded,fifteen hundred. Cnnterac,
mounting the residue of bis force, from 2
to 0000, was making the best of his way
to Cusco.
There are now with Bolivar twelve
hundred men, and ere this, an additional
force, intended for the occupancy of Lima,
have landed to leeward. -La s Puz, and the
country formerly comprizing a part of the
Vice Royalty of Buenos Ayres, in Upper
Peru, is occupied by Olaneta, with three
thousand men, in the name of the Patrin.
This officer wns n Spsnish Commander
in those provinces, but an intrigue, to he
proclaimed Vice King, having been pre
maturely discovered; was obliged to adopt
the course which he has taken. He has
been of great service, as Baldcz has been
constantly opposed to him, thus neutraliz
ing a large portion of the Spanish army.
Since tho success of Bolivar, the latter
has received orders to join the Vice Roy
and Cnnterac at Cusso, where they may
be enabled fo summon six thousand men.
The Patriot force now consists of three
thousand Peruvians, and nine thousand
Colombians. Bolivnr having, in no in
stance, augmented his force by desertions
from the enemy, he receives their arms,
and directs that they retire to their fami
lies, from whose bosoms they have been
forcibly wrested, to rivert their own chains.
This measure has proven of a character
the most politic; and v an astonishment
would not be excited, - was the Spanish
army to be disorganized entirely by des
ertion. The war cannot be of much lon
ger duration, as the first shock must even
tuate in the annihilation of the Royalists.
Callao, it is thought, will be starved out
in three or fotir months, though a matter
of no great moment, as there is a fort to
windward hud to leeward, differing in dis
tance from Lima very little from Cfillao,
On the 12th Sept, tho Spanish sixty-four
Asia, and brig of war Achilles, entered
Callno, permitting Admiral Guise, with
an inefficient frigate and small brig to lay
within two miles, soliciting combat.
The arrival of this force, which 1ms
been long looked for, will, it is presumed,'
prove of no utility. By advice-’, received.,
at Valparaiso, to the 15th Oct. Guise had
made his appearance off Callao, with five
sail of-Peruviun and Colombian vessels
ofwar; and although with a force greatly
inadequate to that of the Spaniards, there
is no doubt but thut, ere this, the decisive
stroke has been given.—Not. In\.
'(here were 7 7 persons conihiitted to
the Boston jail for debt, during! the year
ending the smb of September last. The
average number in clove jail is about 18.
So sav the Massachusetts newspapers —
We should like to know Imw niany of the
"average number’'have refused, being abb*
to pay their debts. We should like to
know, further, if they arc not able to pay
their debts, whether they will become so
by being deprived of the me ms of earning
even sa t to their pottage. Wc should like
to know, still further, if it do not benefit
the creditor, whether their incarceration is
productive of any benefit to society. Fi
nally, we should like to know, whilst they
arc rotting in a dungeon, what ordinarily
becomes of-their wives and children. If
no satisfactory answer can be given to
these questions, in what terms ought we
to characterize a principal of law, which
makes misfortune a crime scarcely less
penal than murder of the lesser degree—
which, whilst it benefits in no manner et
ther the creditor or the community, enfee
bles the body of the debtor hy confinement,
and drives his innocent and helpless fatni
ly to begging in the streets or to worse ?

WASHINGTON, Jan 39.
What a beautiful illustration of the nn
portance ot industry, perseverance,-and
economy, does not the following statement
of facts'preserrt to the youth of this and
every otner country!
“ Mr. Wills, who lately died in the city
of Philadelphia, has bequeathed the whole
ofhis large estate to charitable purposes.
We understand that, to Xi*e Monthly Meet
ings of the Society of Friends In that city,
he has left five thousand dollars each : to
the Orphan Asylum, ten thousand dollars,
the tafuabic house No. 86, Chesnut, is now
the property of that society The houses
No 84 and No. 84, Chesnut st. are left to
the three Dispensaries—tlie Philadelphia,
the Northern and the Southern. Five
thousand dollars arc bequeathed to the
Friends’'Asylmn for Lunatics. The Mag
tlaicn Asylum receives five thousand dol
lars s and the Philadelphia Society for the
Establishment and Support of Charity
Schools, (the Walnut street society,'i re
ceives one thousand dollars. The residue
of his estate, valued at 100. 00 dollars,
he has left to the Mayor and Councils of
the city of Philadelphia, for the establish
ment of a Hospital for the Indigent Lame’
ami Blind, to'be called Wills Hospital.
Mr. Wills was a grocer in Chesnut st
and his fortune wtis inherited from his fa
ther, who, in’the capacities of a suilor
coachman, workman in hat making and
lastly a grocer, acquired by neconomy and
industry the means of founding the chari
ty which will ennoble his name.”
J\‘at Intelligencer,
Major C. P. Luckett, one of the Com
missioners for ascertaining claims and ti
ties to. lanes under the Florida Treaty,
has arrived in this city, with the report and,
opinions of the Boat cl to the Secretary of
the Treasury; —Ibid.
The bill further to provide for the pun
ishmentof crimes against the U. S. repoi
ted by the Judiciary Committee of the
of R. passed that body yesterday and i
now before the Senate. This is a measure
of much importance, with a view to the
equal and regular administration of justice
by the Courts of the U. S. and has passed
the popular branch of Congress with less
delay, than, from the complexity of its de
tails, we had anticipated.—Ibid.
Extract of a letter from a friend of Gen-.
eral Jackson at Washington, to the Com.
' Ado. a Jackson paper inNcio-York.
Jackson is rougher by nature
and linbit than Adams: he assumes an air
of more polish and politeness, is affable
and condescending, and talks a good deal.
Iiis colloquial style is by no means that of
a scholar—his English is not pure, nor his
Grammar always correct: yet he writes bet
ter then he speaks—You would not sus
pect him, on a short and casurl interview,
to be the man who hanged Arbuthnot and
Ambrister, and established martini law
over the cotton bales and cotton merch
ants of Ncw-Orlenhs; yet when his feat
ures settle into repose, they have a grave
if not n severe expression. He begins to
look old; but this is owing to the deep
wrinkles of his face, and the grey tint of
his long and blowsy locks. His lady is a
bulky personage, of not the most refined
orgraccful appearance, but is said to be a
worthy, excellent woman. It is said by
some, that both the General nnd his lady
are religiously disposed; but this is strong
ly denied hy others, so far as he is'■-con
cerned. At General Brown’s party on
life 8th, you might have seen in one room
Jackson, Adams, Clay, Calhonn, and La
Fayette,not to name a host of lesser stars.
The evening passed very pleasantly; in
deed nothing cun exceed the courtesy
which prevails here among persons of the
most opposite, politics. La Fayette is be
loved by all parties. He appears in all
things as an unaffected American citizen
—affable and affectionate to all who ap
proach him. He sometimes into the Hall
ofRcprcsentativcs, and dra vjng n clmir,
sits and listens to the debates. His son is
always with him. King lms begun a port
rait of him. That of Schaeffer has arrived
lint is not yet strcched; it was rolled up &.
inclosed in a box. I presume it will be
placed in the Hall, but there is no place
there which is well adapted to display iff
