An American schooner, the Constitution, for N.

Ihe gov ernor despatched two boats and a man of war after him, which suc ceeded in boarding her, and found Peoley on board, whom they bro’t on shore and imprisoned. ‘1 he schr. was allowed to proceed, Peo ]y having a passport, consequently the captain was not liable. Two hundred persons have been arrest ed, generally men of low character. The principals in the affair will cer tainly be executed. ■ Blowing up of Porto Cabello. I The schr.

From the best information we ure able to obtain, it appears that a large majority of the people in this state are in favor of having the election ot Governor in their own hands. — There is no doubt that the election of mem bers of the Legislature that took place on .Monday last was governed almost entirely by the approaching election for Governor. While the Constitution remains as it is at present, it is utterly impossible for the people to exercise the right of choice in persons to represent them in the Legislature and in a Governor at the same time. The latter consideration oftener governs them than otherwise. Another reason why the Governor should be elected by the people is, that to the free ex ercise of his duty as Governor, he ought to be entirely independent of the Legislature.— This cannot be tiie case while he is dependent on that body for his election. For instance— a law is passed by a large (though not a con stitutional) majority of the Legislature, w liich the Governor disapproves of—he will reason to himself thus: 1 ain not in favor of this law; but if 1 vdo it, those members who voted for it will not support me for Governor at the next election, and 1 cannot be again elected.” The independence of a mans mind may be argued, but it is in vain—human nature is the same in a Governor as in another man, and all men are more or less under the influence of self-inte- The Georgia Journal of 3<Hh ult. gives the following remark on the subject, and we most heartily concur with the Editors in the hope that it will again be discussed in November next. The violence of the contest for seats in the Legislature, whenever a Governor is to be elected, is to be deprecated. In the midst of it the great interests of the state are lost sight of; and in many instan ces, men are elected on no other account than because tliev will vote for some particular individual as Governor. This will continue to be the case as long as this officer is elected by the Legislature. Give his election to the people, and let us have a Legislature elected on account of their qualifications to discharge their duties as law ma kers. We have always been in fa vor of this change in the constitu tion, and are so still. We regret ted the failure of the attempt last winter to make this change, and we now hope that the elicits oithe friends of the measure will be re newed in November next. The following statement includes the Election returns from the coun ties from which we have received information. From Baldwin , Jones,* Fort, Watson. Jones, Philips,* Hendrick, Day, Lamar, Hutchins.

A letter from a gentleman of this city to his correspondent, dated Natchez, Aug. 21, says : “ All is bustle and confusion here —the Yellow Fever is raging with un exampled violence.

Sargent was concealed in a small log house, and had furnished himself with guns, pistols, an axe, scythe, pitch fork, cudgels, and a large pile of stones, with two men and his wife to assist him. After resisting for some time, he surrendered. Albany Daily Adv. j A friend in Louisiana, after sta -1 ting that the institution of Grand Juries is an affair of recent origin in that State, and that the FJench population are still unable to com. prebend its utility, relates the fol lowing anecdote in a letter of the 19th | uly s— “ The Judge of the District Court related to me the circumstances ot his first holding his Court in the parish of VVest Baton Rouge, which is settled almost wholly by French. —'The Grand Jury, having been impannelled nod charged by the Judge, retired to their room. The case of a man accused of the mur der of a slave came before them. On returning to the Court, and be ing asked it they had found any hills, the foreman replied that a case of the above description, had come before them, that they could not agree to hang him , but had fined him 700 dollars'. The Judge infor med them that they had nothing to do with hanging or fining him— that all they had to do was to find a bill, if they had sufficient evidence to authorise them so to do. On their second return, thev still re plied that they could not agree to hang him, but bad concluded toin crease the fine 1500 dollars— nor could a bill be found.” latest Foreign .News. The last mail has brought us English dates 10 days later than before receiv ed. The cause of liberty in Spain at present looks rather despondingly.— The most important item of news is die defection of the constitutional ge neral Ballaeteros. A French account says that he was defeated by Mulitor with the loss of 4 or 500: —He after wards capitulated—acknowledge ngthe Regency of Madrid, and stipulating for the preservation of his rank, titles, and emoluments, and those of his fol lowers. One account charges him with being a traitor, and of receiving an im mense sum as the price of his treason —that lie agreed to deliver up all the troops and posts under his command— but that lie was not able to seduce a single Spanish soldier from the cause. Avery obstinate engagement is said to have taken place near Manresa in Ca talonia, which lasted two days—(lie French lost 3000 prisoners and a great number of killed and wounded. Ge nerals M ina ami Rotten sallied out of Barcelona with all their lorces, and at tacked the French near Mataro on (he 30th August—the battle was not ended ou the 2d inst. Late accounts from Smyrna show that the Turks are determined to make the present a war of extermination. — By an incursion from .Smyrna 24 vil lages were destroyed, and about GOO people. Two villages tendered their unconditional submission to the Capt. Pacha, but it produced no other effect than an order to put all the male pop ulation to the sword, and sell all the women into slavery. These atrocities however, are inflaming the Greeks to the highest degree : on the whole, their cause is in a prosperous condition. THE GREEKS—Accounts from Corfu of i'th July, state that the Captain Pacha, after his expedition against Negropont,informed the Se raskicrof Larissa, that he had sent part of Iris ileet to Patras, and invited him to take (he field immediately to penetrate into Greece through Thermopylae, whilst the other corps would commence their operations from Carys tos and Patras. Mehet Pacha committed the same fault as his predecessors —he advanced through Zeitouni without waiting to hear whe ther the other corps were alsoin motion. Odys seus defended the pass of Thermopylae with unconquerable resolution, altlio’ he had only 2000 men at the commencement of the conflict, whilst Alehet attacked him with bOOU Europeans and 7000 Asiatic infantry, besides 3000 caval ry. The Greeks lost upu ards of 700 men —but after four hours constant fighting, numerous reinforcements arrived, and the Turks experi enced a total defeat. Part of them threw themselves into the castle of Zoitouni, which was taken by storm—and another capitulated in the town ofDcuiago. Meanwhile the corps which iiad advanced from Carystos was also repulsed. There remains therefore only the corps of the Pacha of Scutari to combat, and it is highly probable that this campaign will ter minate ignominiotisly for the Turks.
