SATURDAY EVENING, Oot. 19, 1839.
JCT Wa have lecnived no additional Return*
of the Election fur Governor since our last; bit
owing to a mistake having occurred yesterday
in the aggregate vote for Mr. McDokald, we
publish our table to.day, corrected.
The Philadelphia Herald 8f Sentind of the
Utlt inst. hat the follow mg i
Total Suspension.—XVo are informed that at
a meeting oftho Banka oflliiseiiy, li»ldun Sat
urday evening Inst, it was resolved not to con*
tinue to ledeem their five dollar notes in specie.
Boston Bonks.—'The Boston Mcrcanhle Jout»
nat of Saturday evening last, says that the Banka
of that city ‘aland firm in their datdYmination to
maintain specie payments.' The Daily Advcr-
User of Saturday morning sayi:
The accounts from Philadelphia confirm the
melancholy anticipations ef yasterday, of a gen*
ernl suspension e. specie payments by Ihe banks
of that city, and it is id ; at the example has
bean followed at Baltimore. It is a iciputed,
al«o, that the same course will be pir. . :d at the
more remote Southern and Western cities.—
Strong assurances are given that the example
will not ba followed in New York, atid we trust
there will be no tho* his of inch a conr n here.
It must be a mistake to suppose that a sue*
pension at the South creatr %n n cs.Vny for sus-
petition hoit. It mnv indued, abject mu chant**
and bankets hereto eiubarr;:aments a J l<* ee,
some few of which would be avoid' 1 by follow,
ing the example set them, and by violating tli >
own faith. But to follow ih.it exnmplo instead
of ebviatiug Of dimin’ hing the eifi.is to increase
it, and to lender it more permanent* Of this
we belivo our community are satisfied, and we
have reason to behave thut they would not eubi

we were lying clown, and tho Indians Imd fued
loo high,we had our* rifl»s{ but owing to the
neglect of a nnnicnmtntaiowd olttcer, no nuu
inutiun, and being tlutrefuro unnble to make
n defence, took to tho river—the Indians
following to the hank, from whence they fired,
but tho water being shallow, wo had waded a
good distance and, bv dr , pm* down only two
of ua wero wounded, though the balls fell like
hail,and scattcicd tho water all round. We
then proceeded down the river, keening out or
riflernuge, hut could not cross, as them were
Indians on the other side, and some of the party
that first attacked ua walked down tine beach
opposite to u*. As we closed in a little in ap-
pr. idling a point ^tha waiter becoming deeper,
and some could not swim) we saw thut sumo ol
the Indiana wero old acquaintance!, who hod
bean about our tents more friendly than we
wanted, whon at Key Biicayne,
One ef them who spoko English called ont
to Sergonnt Bigelow, ‘Sergeant, Come ♦ashore,
oud bring your men, wo are friends, and will
not hurt you.' Believing there was some in,
tended trenehory, l opposed going, but the sen
gonntanu oightotl’ors went, and were friundly
received. I saw one Indian waking by the ni m
with Sergeant Simmons who has not since been
heard frimi. The renmmdor of the men con*
tinned down, and on rounding the point wore
taken oil board a small sloop boat, which had
dropped down when lire attack commenced.—
One wounded man and myself remained boldnd,
as the others ffndcd and set out wiJi the
Indians oti their re.uin to the cmnp—wo were
cal', d upon to follow, which we preionded
do, but kept In the water, and when the party
w passing over some rising ground,which hid
them, cut fur the woods. Wepn od one dra*
goon pier ed by three baP -, and his bo wo Is rip*
ped out,and heard a firing town, a the camp,
which wos directed, we supposed, on the rei
muitider, Besides Mr. Dallam and those in
his employ, I am certain nobody was kill .d, ox*
cept thn*e who wore enticed b ck by the Indians
with proiesta.’.ons of friendship.
'The wounded man and I separated, and I
ran into a swamp umJ a i down in water knee
deep a'l day, and at nightwentoutintothe pin*
&c ren to sleep. The next day I attempted to
walk towards the co.:st, hoping aome vessel in
passing might see nit, but my feet were terribly
sore, for having no shoes, they had boon cut
badly white in tho wn or by oyster shells. In the
nliernoon 1 heard a whoop, and seeing two In*
dinns near me with rifles, ran for a small ham
mock—running aero s this, 1 came to a fire, by
the side of which, was n negro, tlml I am cer
tain was Sampson. I than turned and ran out
itilo some high grass in hopes of getting to a
larger hemmock opposite, but the two Indians
cut me off, turning me towards a sand beach,
by rising np ill die grass, and holding their ri
fles in a men icing position, without filing.—
This drove me down to a bonch, when the suf
ferings of my feet becoming unbearable, l tore
off part of my shirt and wound it round them,
and then went through the night walking on

CHAR ACTER OF LAFAYETTE:
ExlTarifrom Uu Eluda nr Ut OraUurt Parle,
nuKlairee.—tr tikois.
Lsfliyelte was no orator—if by oratory wa
mean that einphalia and aonorioui mod. of
•peaking which arena iha hearers, end lets noth
ing but wind enter tbeir ears. lie had a aari-
oua yet familiar conversational atylo, gramati-
rally incorrect, if you will, and a litdo difiTuu,
but pointed and act off by felicitous turns of ex
nreuion. Ho had no figures or highly colored
images, but his words were just cilcululsd re
express his maaning and no more. There was
no passionate action, but Ilia diacourao boro the
•ccont of conviction. His logic wo, not power
ful, overwhelming or eiahniate, but Ins aigu.
menu wore woil put together, followed une
another without effiirt, and iiuturally flowed
from the exposition or facts.
When ho ascended the tribune and said, “1
am a Republican,” no one woa tempted to oak
what ha meant by that, and why ho said il, for
every one knew that the friend of Washington
could not bo otherwise than a Republican. Ho
spoke firealy about Iha kingaof Europe, whom
f treated a* '
lit unceremoniously treated as despots', kindling
against them in hia rulpropaganda all the fires
of popular insurrection. To the oppreued of
•II countries he opened hia purse, his house and
Ilia heart. Ho obstinately opposed at the tri*
bane the cowafdly abandonment of the Poles
and Ruinngnol*. Then hia iudignalton. let
loose, flowed forth in vost torrents, virtue held
the place of eloquenco, and his words, general,
ly mild, wero armed with fire and lightning.
Lafayette had mure than more ideas—he had
principles, fundamental principles, to which he
adhered with iuexterminuble obstinacy. Both
in theory nnd in practice he desired the seven
•ignty of the people, and indeed that is ell.
But he did uol like Ike tyranny of the whole
bettor than the tyranny of the one. lie consid.
ered foundations before form,justice before law,
principles before governments, and the human
race before nnliuns. He wished for minorities
to lie free under triumphant majorities,
Whon the strongest characters gave way—
when the geniuson passed in succession under
tlie triumphal forksnfNapolonn.and the nation,
mail with glory nud conquest, ran bofore his car,
Lafayette minted Ihe stream nf men and things,
without violence towards others, or struggle
with himself, by the firmness of his convictions
clone, resembling a rock which stands upright
amid the. fluctuating agitation of Ihe waves,
llis groat iiii.ul tv is never tormented by the
passion fur gold, which can govern kings them,
solves. The vulgar ambition for n throne was
benea'li him, ami laid ho not been Lafayette, ho
would lievo desired to bo Washington.
Even in his old ego Lnfeyeite was beloved hy
every ho ly—tho greutest delight nran nffi-ciion
Mo heart. But this nubia clime of being loved.
Which is so sweet in privnie life, is in political
life always hazardous. A true staiosman should
he nblo to sacrifice iris friendship end even iris
popularity to tho interests ol his country,
While he remained Commander 'General of
the National Guard of the kingdom, end thus
INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
We Istrn from the Tillthaaoee Floridian
of Iha I2lh inst., that "On Saturday ilia 5th inst.,
snhour before sundown, Messrs. Wm. Burney
and James Beard of Miccasukis, were attacked
by a small party of Indians on the Federal Road
•bout 5 miles east of the Ocilla, within 3 miles
ofa regular pest. Mr. Burnay received 2 balls,
in hia shoulder and leg, the latter wouuded hia
horse—he was however able to make Iris escape
with his horn.' Mr. Beard was shot in iha hip,
and his horn badly wounded—ha endeavored
to escape, but the Indiana pursued and caught
his hem, ho prerented a pistol, and the Indiana
retreated behind trace to redoad their rifles,
when taking advantage of their absence Mr. B.
•truck into a thicket and wit not pursued. He
was found on Monday morning by a party of
regulars, so disabled that be could not reach
any dwelling. Botli gentlemen we learn are
likely to recover front their wounds.
“On the seme evening an oltack wu made
onthehounuf Mr. Jerntgan, near Ulmar'a
itoro—several shots ware fired at tha Indiana,
eansiug them to leiira,”
Tho same paper, aaya—Gov. Cattwill prob
ably return home on Tuesday next. Tha com-
maud of volunteers, we learn, have thoroughly
scouted the country to the Suwtnce, occasion
ally falling upon Iha camps af iha enemy—but
unable to bung Inara to fight. Alany of ilia
towns, and large quantmea of corn, peat nnd
provisiuas, have been destroyed. Wehopoto

up to some licee cln e by, and were jeined by
others. I expectod they would shoot me, hut

i when wer any ol yon come to our cainpe we

Providence Banks.— 1 Tho New York Courier
of Inst Monday says—' A report prevailed on
urdiiy, that the Bank* of 1’rovidence (ILL)
I suspended specie p.iymonts for their notes
'small amounts. The Captain of the ste. m-

NEW YORK, Oct 14.
Money market 0 P. M.—The progress of sus
pension goes on at the south, but Wall street
continues quiet nnd calm. Our banks are mo
mentarily gaining strength. The stocks market
shows a continued decline in securities. The
United Sutra Bank receded 7£ per cent from
the clese nf Friday.
In sterling exchange for the packets sailing
t* morrow, there has been but little dona. Prime,
Ward & King,also Maitland, Kennedy# Co
offrrbille.it 11 percent; Brown * Co. sold
small amounts at 94—they would not draw for
sums as large as £1000. Another house had bill*
of the Bank of Liverpool, of which they made
soma salts at J1 per cent. Altogether the amount
of bilie iold was small. Tho We’ inglon, Lon.
don packet, has on board specie to the amount
of $400 000, which has been shipped chiefly
by Hie Phsntx Bunk,and it isnudereiood lhai
the institution will draw against it is unden
stood that the institution will draw against it at
11 per cent. They will probibly bs supported In
tho movement by the other bnnks of thi* city,
who feel themselves sufficiently strong. In ad
dition to these means uf remittance, freight has
been engaged for 6000 bble. ef flour in the Liv
erpool packet*. Uucurrent money is in rather a
confused stale. Most of the safety fund bill*
art continued to be redeemed by the Slate Bank
at 3 per cant. For the olhor billsj the brokers
charge 14 percent. Tho trade for *rcd back'
money is 5 percent, and for Philadelphia money
10 per cent discount: end eastern money was
not taken, in consequence efa'report that the
Suffolk Bank at Boston had thrown out the
country bill*; some purchases wero made at 5
per cem. The report was unfounded. A
draft on Philadelphia for $2500 was sold at the
stocks exchange for 91 cents on the dollar.
The New York banks are now considered
past ihe danger of a suspension. They will, in
connection with the New England Bank*, firmly
maintain the position in which they now atancl.
The deposits are small, and are made only to
provide ft»r payment! which are falling due mo-
mentsrily.
The position ot tho Unitod States Bank is now
of great interest. Tho stock having fallen to
70 cents on the dollar, the attention ofcapitalists
is attracted to it as a matter nf speculation and
the question arises as to its ultimate value.

thirty launches, attempted lo land about nine
hundred man, at a place c 'lad Leconsls, thirty
nnlcs from Buenos Ayres, urn] were repulsed,
with heavy loss,when they returned to tho island
of Martin Garcia.
A ship of about 450 tons, with painted ports,
was laying alongside the French Admiral's ship
with the French flag hoisted over the American,
and therefore supposed to have been captured.
Capt liny had not an opportunity, previous to
hi* departure, to learn her name.
Tho forces raised under the auspices of Bueno*
Ayres, for the purpose of re establishing the
late government of Montevideo, 3000 strong,
had crossed the Parana and arrived within fifty

former Governor. Tho present Governor had
marched out of tho city to meoihitn, at the head
offifieen hundred men.
