Poland. We turn aside for a moment, from the politi cal turmoil of the times, and the disgusting fabri cations of political rivals, to drop a tear over the, fate of Poland—poor, devoted, chivalric Poland. When Skrynecki was superceded in his com mand, the sanguine and well grounded expecta tion which we entertained of her restoration to national independence, vanished “ like the base less fabric of a vision.” We then felt convinced that Russian gold and Russian intrigue, had sca led the ramparts of Warsaw, and that the most in teresting people in Europe had been betrayed iuto the power of die “overgrown bully” of the north How will France—how will Great Britain, an-j swpr to themselves and to posterity', for their cul-1 pable indifference, their criminal i:Action 1 A ' word from them, and Poland might have been j free. But, alas, they had not enough of magna nimity or independence. Like Rome, in her ; worst days of barbarism, they'viewed the strug gle with the same unnatural insensibility as rite was wout to do, in witnessing the bloody contests of her devoted (Radiators. It is a foul blot upon the reign of William and Philip, which neither time nor circumstance can obliterate. From our Correspondent, MtLI.EDGEVJLLE, 13tll, NoV. I was surprised to see in one of Bartielt’s late I Telegraph’s, a false, slanderous, and vulgar state ment of the proceedings which took place at the dinner given to ?,Ir. Gilmer, in this place on Thursday last. Had a seduction been made from the ranks of society, a more intelligent and res pectable company could not have been brought together from any part of the State. Many of the i gentlemen present, had meritoriously filled high’ 1 official stations-, both at hone and abroad ; and all, cr very near all of them, were native Georgians, the descendants of an old Democracy, and who had rendered “ the State some service.” Such are the men whom the Telegraph has shamefully calumniated. The notice which.the Telegraph takes of Mr. Gilmer, the veneßible Judge Craw ford and the Hon. Mr. Berrien is equally menda cious. Instead of Mr. C. exhibiting any solici tude to address the company, he politely refused, after havingbeen solicited to do so. The speeches of Mr. Gilmer and Berrien will speak for them selves, when published. In conclusion, I need not observe to yon, Sit, that the conduct of the company was characterised by that harmony, decorum, and attractive affabil ity,which always regulates the private as well as public intercourse of gentlemen. Had the misrepresentations of the Telegraph been confined to thisplace, I should not conde scend to notice them. But as they will be spread before people unacquaint (1 with the facts, it be comes necessary they should be corrected. I have deemed it my duty to do so not only for the honor of Georgia, but in vindication of the tradu- 1 ced character of some of her most pure and gifted sons.

Gilmer, Esq. asa testimony of their high respect for his public services and private vir tues, gave him a public dinner at the La Fay ette Hall; the proceedings of which you shall have after a while. The company consisted of about 200 individuals, comprising members of the Legislature, and some of tin; most dis tinguished personages from every part of the State. Notwithstanding the unfortunate re sult of the gubernatorial election, a degree of enthusiasm prevailed throughout, which gave to the festive occasion an air rather of triumph than of defeat—for,-in the language of a gen tleman present, “ it is more honorable to fall in a good cause, than to rise upon a bad one.” Mr. Gilmer addressed the company in an able vindication of the measures of his govern, inent. He was followed by Mr. Berrien in an eloquent speech, and by Mr. Seaborn Jones, in some neat and pertinent remarks. Several other gentlemen spoke. Mr, Wood's Resolution in favor of Gen. Jackson. The following preamble aud resolutions, were introduced in the Senate, by Mr. Wood, of Mcln tosh, on the Bth iust. “ Wherjis the re-election of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency of the U. States, for the next term, is of vital importance to the best interests of the people, and will tend to perpetuate the happi ness and prosperity of our beloved country', as v. <dl as preserve unimpaired the “ Federal Con stitution ;” for the following reasons : Ist. Because he is a decided anu firm friend to the continuance of the Union of these ,Skates : “ It must be preserved." 2d. Because he has avowed an honest eonvic ttc.i, that the payment of the National debt is the surest means of reconciling conflicting interests at present existing, and thereby render perma nent the blessings we now enjoy. If he is re elected there is no doubt, that all important object 1 will be accomplished. 3d. Because since he has been President he has done all in his power to ensure to Georgia the Territory now in the possession of the Cherokee Indians; judging therefore by the past, we may confidently rely for the future on his exercising all his influence to enforce our just rights* tliere : by realise to the State the possession of those lands, and her citizens the enjoyment of them- For these and strong considerations, Be it resolved by the Senate, and Mouse of Rep resentatives of the State cf Georgia, that the people of this state look forward with deep solici ; rude to the re-election of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency of the l*. States at the ensuing elec tion, and do hereby pledge themselves to support him for that high office. Tin ydo not hesitate to declare it as their opinion, that in the disturbed and excited feeling of the country, he is the most fit and proper person to be supported, and do in the most earnest terms recommend him to the people of our sister states at the approaching c iectiou. 4 ’ JOINT COMMITTEES, From both Branches of the Legislature .

Commercial, [By the Br. ship William Donald. ] Liverpool, Sept. 16, (evening,) 1831.—There has been throughout this week, a good demand for nearly all descriptions, and in some kinds of Americana slight advance has boen obtained ; but this does not appear to be sufficiently general to authorize any change in the quotations- It is acknowledged on all hands that good quality is not only steady, but scarce and rather looking up. Liverpool, Sept. 17—Very considerable busi ness has been done in our Cotton nrvket this week, but in no irregular manner, the daily sales having varied from 1500 to 7000 bags. It seems. * however as if the increase of duty had begun t<> give an impetus to the demand under an impres sion that it must lead to advance of prices, in deed some advance has already taken-mlace, but it is confined to Brazil descriptions, does* not exceed id per pound. Speculators in goneral have evidently been a good deal excited, but have* rot yet ventured to operate largely; their pur chases are reckoned 1500 bags oi’ American.— And 800 bags of the same have been disposed oF for expert. • In Upland, the transaction, have been exceed ingly extensive, hut unattended with any obvious* amendment of price; and the same may be saiiE of Orleans and Alabama. From the 10th to the 16th ist. inclusive, tile* sales altogether are computed at 25,600 bags. [By the ship Extio, at New York.] Havre, Sept. 5. —Our prices remain the 'samo for U. States’ Cottons. The inferior and ordina ry qualities are easily obtained, Hut good qualities are scarce and in demand. Notwithstanding the considerable arrivals of last month, our stock this day does not exceed 30,000 bales. WRIT OS' ELECTION GEORGIA—By his Excellency, George R.
