Vienna, Sept. 22.
The Russian Bulletin of Sept. 9,
detailing the affairs which have taken

here a great sensation. It is believ
ed that the Grand Vizier, after Ins

Union of the Jill antic and Pacific. —
It appears by letters from Amster
dam, that the projeK of cutting a ca
nal to unite the Gulf of Mexico with
the Pa< ifn Ocean is about to be reviv
ed under the auspices of the Nether
lands Government, which has entered
I into communication with the Govern
ment of Guatatnala or Central Ameri
ra, for that purpose. Gen. Van Veer,
who whs deputed on that mission, has
just returned to Europe, and it is stat
ed that several persons are on their
way to the Netherlands from Guata
mala, who are authorized to carry in
to effect the. arrangements connected
the undertaking.—Some exclusive ad
vantages, as inducement to engage in
the project, have been offered to the
Dutch Government; and is said that
the King himself has entered into it
with so much earnestness that he has
composed a long memoir to point out
its probability of success and the ben
•Tits with which it will be attended.
A vessel has been ordered to be in
readiness to carry out to Guatamala
the engineers and persons appointed
to survey (he ground through which
the proposed canal is to pass.
London paper.
We find in our I *st English paper,
an article which if true settles the
Catholic question at once and
without debate,—short time ago,’
says the writer, ‘an illustrious inch
vidual ’in the course of some conver
sation on the state of affairs in Ireland
as connected with the spiritual and
political influence of the bishop of
Rome in that country, declared, that
no apprehensions need be entertained
of a Popish ascendency, for if even
both Houses of Parliament should puss
a bill of unconditional emancipation
—that is, for the admission of the
subjects of the. Pope to all offices, the
army and navy included,—the high
est Personage in the State has expres
,sed his determination, without any
hesitation to refuse his assent, and if
necessary dissolve the Parliament
that should pass such a bill. >Ve
mention this exclusively, on high au
thority, and have not the slightest
doubt of the fact.*

Conspiracy in Colombia.
By an arrival from Carthage
na, we learn that on the 25th
Sept. a conspiracy broke out
at Bogota, in an attempt
was made on the life of Boli
jvar - -It appears that Gen. San.
tander, the vice president, was
at the head of the conspiracy,
and had brought over to his
views a corps of artillery, and
with a gang of followers, they
first made an attack on the pri
son. killed Col. Bolivar, and re
leased Admiral Padilla. The
rebels then proceeded late at
night to the palace, where they
rushed and encountered first a
young ensign, who defended
him sell, when Col. Ferguson,
an Englishman, rushing to his
aid. was shot on the spot. Bo
iivar heating the noise, being
then in his cabinet, rushed For
ward, but finding himself sur
rounded by enemies, retreated
hastily to ids cab nv.t, jumped
out of a win low and ade his
way to the bridge, plunged in
the water and concealed him
self for two hours, when the re
bels suppling him drowned,
returned sh mting through the
streets, ‘Death to the tyrant
and long live Gen. Santander.’
Bolivar released himself from
his unpleasant situation, threw
himselfint > the banacks, head
ed the troops $ attacked the re
bel force, and completely rout
ed them. Armed peasants en
tered the town and order was
soon restored.
Col. Guerra has been alrea
dy hanged. Santander aud Pa
dilla are in prison, preparing
for the same fate, the judicial
tribunals are active, and sever
al of the ringleaders have been
tried and shot.
Bolivar has issued a piocla
mation taking into his own
hands the entire reins of gov
erment, and the country gener
ally seem satisfied, and attri
bute much of their troubles to

CABINET.
WARREN'TON, NOV. 22, 1828.
T/JIT~LEGIBLA TURK.
In the Senate, no bill of a generally im
portant character has been definitively
acted upon since our last. On the 12(h,
the bill to compel Justices of the Peace to
give bond and security, was taken up in
that body, and the blank filled with 55500.
Alter some discussion the Committee re
ported disagreement to the bill, which re
port was agreed to. On the succeeding
day, however, a motion to reconsider the
bill was adopted.
On the same subject, in the House, at
the suggestion of Mr. Iverson, the Com
mittee reported ‘‘progress and leave”,
which was granted for the purpose of al.
lowing that gentleman time to prepare a
substitute to the bill. The blank was fil
led up with the same amount as in the
Senate. We think the Bill will finally
pass.
The bill to compel Clerks of the Supe
rior and Inferior Courts to issue execution
within four days after the rendition of
judgment, and Sheriffs to levy them with
in four days after receiving them, was ta
ken up in the House and lost.
On the 18th, the bill to grant indulgence
to fraction purchasers was reported with
amendments. Mr, Ryan spoke at some
length on ‘.he subject—-when Mr. Jordan
moved that the report lie on the table, and
on division it was carried.
The following letter, from one of onr Re
presentatives, furnishes us with intelli
gence twodays later than the Milkdge
ville papers received by yesterday‘s
mail.
To THE EbIToR.
“ JUllcdgcville, Nov. QOth, 1828.
“But little bu.-iness of general interest
has as yet been definitely acted on by the
Legislature. This day. in the House of
Representatives, the Bill to alter the lime
of the meeting of the General Assembly
to the third Mondav in November, was
ordered to lie on the table f Jr the balance
of the session, by a majority.— In
the Senate, a Bill has passed to divide
the county of Lee—the new county is
to he called Randolph.”
THE FLAG STRUCK.
The Unitor of the Augusta Courier, a
veteran Administration part.'Ear, in his pa
per o| 1 hursdoy last. has ‘ given up the
Ship.” . lie struggled hard to keep his co
lors flying—hut ‘1 ruth has ‘‘pulled down
the Hag which’’ Error “nailed to the

I the administration. The vote of Mary-
I land will probably be G for Adams and b
for Jackson. In New York the probabil
ity is ibatthe vote has been 17 and 17.”
ELECTORAL ELECTION.
Sixty three counties have been beard
from which give the Troup candidates
a decided majority. There is no doubt
of their election,
CANAL LING.
We have received io pamphlet form a
“Report on the proposed Canal connect
i ing the Alatamana and Ogechee rivets,
j co uprising the plan and estimates of the
j same.” The report is made bv Alfred
I Cruger, Civil Engineer, under the uufhor
| ity ot the Directois of the Savannah, Oge
j'.bee, and Alatahama Canal Company’. * ?
lie has submitted two plans; one of Which
extends to the Ohoopie, and (he other to a
point near the junction of the O onee and
Ockmulgee. The construction of the for
nier is estimated at $5116,445—the latter
iat 55170 000 Mr Buy • min Wright of
New York, a distinguished Engineer, has
examined the plans, estimates, and re
marks of Mr. Cruger, and speaks of them
in terms -f unequivocal approbation.— Ac
companying the Report is a Map which
exhibits a transverse section of the Canal,
and a view of the contiguous country—lt
can be seen at this dike.
LITE ii A nr.
We have received the first number of’
the Ladies Literary Port i olio, a
new p nodical which has recently made
its appearance in Philadelphia. It is con
ducted by Mr, Thomas C. Clarke, and in
its contributions, selected and original,
displays much taste and genius. The
Editor will be assisted in his labors bv the
amiable and talented Mrs. Muzzy, and
several other Literary Correspondents,
j whose productions have tended to ad’
( vance, in an eminent degree, the Belles
Lettres character of cur country. On nur
last page will be found several selections
which we have made from this interestin'*
work. *
The Port Folio comprises eight quar
to pages ot solni matter, and is issued ev
ery other week at two dollars per annum.
The fifth number will contain a copper
plate engraving, comprising in a single
group.. Portraits of Shakespear, Byrun,
Scott, and Campbell, which will be follow
ed by Portraits of American Authors in a
similar style.
GCr Subscriptions wjN be received at
the office of the Cabinet, where a speci
men of the woik may be seen. As the
Port Folio is peculiarly dedicated to the
Ladies, ad already evidences in its man
agement more than ordinary taste and el
egance, it will na doubt receive a liberal
share ol their enlightened patronage.
SPLENDID TRANSITS.
\V. B. Davis, the distinguished projec
tor of the Brunswick Canal, passed thro*
this place yesterday. It is whispered in
the fashionable circles, that “a card ’ has
passed between him and E. Early, K-q.
B-lly Wood I iff, the celebrated” Coilleur

Ockmulgee Circuits, is also expected in a
few days to enliven our village with Ins
presence.—The arrival of this lineal ties
cendant of Huggins, will, we understand,
be preceded by the appearance of Editor
Burritt, of the Statesman. Among other
raluable articles it is said that Mr. B.

Emphasis , Orthography <§* Punctuation*
On the abuse ot Emphasis we have
appended to this article, some judicious
remark* from the Georgia Courier. The
cold, formal, indifferent manner of too ma
, n_v ofour Preachers, i* really intolerable,
and ia equally liable to censure a* were
H>e right reverend Divines, in the time of
Pope, wJio, if our memerv does not err,
tells us, that the English Doctors of Divi
ntfy, wrote the bes* sermons but preached
the worst. It is an anomolous thing to
us. how a mind that is rich with intellec
tual stores, in the closet , can become so
inert as to mar the beauties of its own
creations, whilst in the pulpit. This,
however, is a question for casuists to de
termine, and we respectfully submit it to
their decision.
Id addition to the “ cn*e cited” by the
Courier, we beg leave, for the purpose of
