The interview between the Sovereigns of the North of
Europe, have been of such a cordial description, as to
create very favorable impressions among their subjects.
It was expected that the Emperor of Russia would attend
n grand review of Prussian troops, at Berlin. The King
of Prussia had accepted an invitation from the Bmperor
of Austria, to attend a review of 75,01)0 troops at \ ero

A letter dated tho 4th of September, gives the follow,
ing account of a collection of military iorce, which seems
to indicate some formidable movement.
“The number of (Austrian) troops in the environs of
Mantua is daily augmented. '1 he largest camp, perhaps
ever formed, is now assembled in the environs—it con
sists of 90,000 men, with 300 pieces of cannon. Only
four regiments of calvary will be there, partly on ac
count of the scarcity of forage, and partly because the
ground is not favorable for cavalry manoeuvres. Four
thousand soldiers are constantly employed in the fortifi
’ cations of Verona.”

Trade. —The silk trade eight or ten miles round Man

all hands seem to be fully employed. The fancy wea
vers earn from twelve to sixteen shillings per week; but
those employed upon plain sarsnets earn only from eight
or ten shillings per week. The poor hand-loom cotton
weavers cannot earn more than from five shillings and
sixpence to seven shillings per week. Gotten spinning
seems to be reviving a little at Rochdale and Heywood.
At Rochdale, two mills employed in power-loom weav
ing are working short time; but spinners have full work.
—/The flannel trade at Rochdale and its neighborhood
has not been so brisk for the last 15 years past—all have
full work, and wages have been advanced. The wea

the manufacturers are unwilling to give. Ihe woollen
spinners can earn Irom twelve to fourteen shillings per
week, and the weavers from ten to twelve shillings per
week, and some superior hands can earn more.

spirit, but at no advance in price. In British woolen there
was also more, and a good deal of business was done at
former prices.
At Huddersfield market, last week, there was again
a good demand for all k nds of low woollen cloths, but
superfine broad cloths were little inquired after, so that
the business transacted consisted principally of low broad

THE CONSTITUTION VINDICATED.
In a letterto Mr. E. Everett, dated in August, 1830,
Mr. Madison gives, in few words, his views of the
true character of the Constitution of the United States.
We are not less impressed with the precision and con
densation of this extract, than with the great fimdamen
tai truths which it authoritatively expounds.
“ In order,” says he, “to understand the true charac
ter of the Constitution of the United States, the error,
not uncommon, must be avoided ot viewing it through
the medium, either of a consolidated Government'’ (as
Mr. McDuffie, in 1821, viewed it,) “or of a Confeder
ated Government,” (as Mr, McDuffie, in 1533, views
it ) “whilst it is neither the one nor the other ; but a
mixture of both. And having in no mode! the similitudes
and analogies applicable to other systems of Govern.
• men t, it must, more than any other, he its oicn intrrpre.
ter according to its text, and the facts of the case. It
was formed by the States; that is, by the people in each
of the States, acting in their highest sovereign capacity,
and formed consequently by the same authority which
formed the State Constitutions. Being thus derived
from the same source as the Constitution of the States,
it has, within each State, the same authority as the Con
stitution of the State, and is as much a Constitution, irr
the strict sense of the term, within its prescribed sphere,
as the Constitution of the States are within their respec
tive spheres : but, with this obvious and essential differ
ence, that being a compact among the States in their
highest sovereign capacity, and constituting the People
thereof one People for certain purposes, it cannot be
altered or annuallcd at the will of the States individual
ly, as the Constitution of a State may be at its individual
j will.
“And that it divides the supreme powers of Govern
ment, between the Government of the United States and
the Government of the individual States, is stamped on
| the face of the instrument; the powers of war and of tax
: ation, of commerce and of treaties, and other enumer
| ated powers vested in the Government of the United
States, being of as high and sovereign a character, as
, any of the powers reserved to the State Governments.”

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 7.
Nothing of any interest has been done in our Legisla
ture, except the subjoined preamble and resolution pre
sented by Mr. Cooper, of the County of Putnam, the same
gentleman who moved on Tuesday last, to strike out the
word “sovereignty” from the titles uniformly given to
the United States, and adopted in the.declaration of in
dependence. The preamble and resolution of Mr. Coop,
er, lies on the table for one day ; they will be taken up
to-morrow. The nullifiers will array all their forces,
and so will the union men: the debate will be a warm
one, and the result will no doubt establish the line of de
marcation which the adherents of nullification are so
anxious to draw between them and those who differ with
them in principles. I say, if they are so anxious that
this line should be drawn, let ii be done, and the sooner
it is done the better it will be for the peace of the coun.
try, because we will all know whom we are to consider
as political friends, and whom we are to consider as po
litical opponents, and then act accordingly. Besides the
warm debate anticipated for to-morrow, it is expected
that the leaders of nullification will introduce resolutions
which, they say, will establish more conspicuously the
line between the state rights men, as they call themselves,
and those who are much more entitled to the appellation,
but who have been nicknamed submission men. The
proclamation and the force bill, are to be condemned in
strong terms; and all those who will not enter into the
coalition already formed against the administration of
General Jackson, for the advancement of Mr. Cajhoun,
are to be set down as federalists and consolidationists,
and as such proscribed, and declared to be unfit to hold
any office in the state or the federal government. If this
was the only object the nullifiers have in view, I would
not be so much in dread ot the future, should they ever
succeed in obtaining the ascendancy in Georgia, which
I hope wi!l never be the case. But the dissolution of
the Union should be expected, if the nullifiers were to
succeed in gaining the ascendancy in Georgia, Alabama,.
North Carolina and Virginia, as in South Carolina, and
if they do not succeed in placing their magnus apollo,
Mr. Calhoun, in the Presidential chair. The dissolution
• f the union would be attended with calamities so great,
that to avoid it, I would readily give my vote for Mr.
Calhoun to be President, should the nullifiers get into
power, and should the alternative be, the dissolution of
the union, or his elevation to the Presidency. I would
do so with the hope, that after his ambition would have
been gratified, the peace of the country would be re
stored. >
The occurrence of last Tuesday, which I mentioned
in one of my letters, on the motion to strike the word
“ sovereignty,” is of greater importance than many peo
ple are aware of. I consider that motion ns having been
dictated by that spirit of nullification, which would ren
der the acts of the federal government null and void,
whether constitutional or not, when a state should think
proper to make the declaration. By depriving the fede
ral government of the power to enforce the laws it is au
thorized to enact by the constitution, unless all the states
do not object to it, you virtually destroy the federal cop
stitution, and by destroying that instrument, you dissolve'’ 1
the union, which is based upon it. Why did not the
motion include the word “ independence” ? Because,
independence is better understood by the generality of
our people, than the sovereignty of that people, divided
as it is between the states, separately, and the states
united in one federal government. If the motion had
included this wc rd “ independence,” there would have
been a general expression of surprise and opposition.—
What! the United States are not independent ? Is the
declaration made in ’76, a mere mockery ? And if the
states are not independent, under whose dominion are
they ? To this the nullifiers would have answered, un.
der the dominion of the people. But the people would,
have replied, do we not ourselves form the states ? Can
independence and sovereignty be separately enjoyed by'
a free people ? And are people and states different and
distinct things ? When, therefore, it is declared that
the states are independent, it means nothing m«re nor
less than that the people of those states are independent
of any foreign power. The word “ independence” is so
well understood, that the mover of the resolution to
strike out the word sovereignty, did not think it prudent
to touch it. But this word “ sovereignty.” As I said
above, deprive the federal government of tha power to
execute the laws it may adopt, without the approbation
of any one state, and you destroy at ones the federal coniy
stitution, and you dissolve the union, for this union is
founded upon that federal constitution, in which the,pea-,
pie of the several states, in their sovereign capacity,
have confided to certain agents, to be chosen by them
selves, the power to make laws which would bind equal
ly the people of all the slates. But, say the nullifiers,.
the federal government is not sovereign: the people
alone are sovereign. This is an absurd mode of rea
soning; a deceptive argument, advanced to confuse the
unwary and lead him astray. What is a stats ? Can a
state exist without a population ? II there was not a soul
in Georgia, would it be a state ? Certainly not. We
understand by stats, the people inhabiting a certain and
conventional extent of territory. If this people are gov.
erned by one man, we call this territory a monarchy, and
the man who governs it, a king or emperor. 3 his man.
is sovereign, because he governs alone. But if the peo
ple of that territory govern themselves, we call it a re.
public and the people sovereign, and by calling them soy.
ereign, it necessarily follows that the state or territory in
which that people dwell, is a sovereign state. So, that,
when it is expressed, that a state is independent and
sovereign, it is meant, that there is in it but one soTer
eicn, which may be represented by one man, as in Eng
land and France, or by the whole body of the people, as.
in Georgia. When therefore we say that the staze of
Georgia is sovereign, we mean that there is no poower
paramount to the power of the people dwelling within
her territorial limits. And when we say that the United
States are sovereign, we mean that there is no power
paramount to the power of the people dwelling in those
states. The conclusion to be drawn from these remarks
is plain. The United States are sovereign, because the
people are sovereign, and when the government ol these.
L T nited States exercise those sovereign functions
are confided to it by the federal constitution, it acts only
as the organ or as the agents of the real sovereign, the

allegiance to no other power but

cerns. The people of the several states still/qjaur their
independence and sovereignty, though they have thought
proper to divide their sovereign powers between a state
government, and a government of the United Slates.—
At every election for agents to whom certain powers are
to be confided, the people exercise this sovereign pow
er, whether it be for officers of the state federal gov
ernment. At staled times they exercise this sovereign
power; if they did not think proper to exercise it, then
the bonds of society would be dissolved; and every man,
would resume the right he derives from nature," he would
no more be bound by the laws of civilization.' AH would
be anarchy and confusion, an easy prey to invasion and;
subjection. , - - -- !

itctlte puldic road,; designing to.make it appear that his
' fnul'e b'ad killed him. They put his foot in the stirrup,
but the strap broke immediately with his weight; being

yards by his feet, and left him, taking Care to put his
whip and hat where they had fastened him to the mule.

The Floridian, published at Tallahassee, (Florida,)
says “ The Florida crop of cotton will exceed that

Explosion. —The powder mill in Southwick belon
ging to Col. Solomon Smith, exploded on Friday even
ing. The concussion was tremendous, the shock hav
ing been sensibly felt as far as Monson in one direction
and Deerfield in another —happily no person was inju
red. The geering of the mill was not in perfect order
and it is supposed that the powder had become ignited
by a spark caused by friction in the machinery. Four
small buildings constituted the mill, three of which
were blown to atoms, and one side of the fourth Steve in.
The fourth building contained about 40 kegs of the best
powder, about which the explosion had spattered brands
and cinders—this the “powder boys” surrounded, kick
ed away the brands and extinguished the fire, saving
the building and the powder: a deed of.desperate dar
ing and fool-hardiness that few would be guilty of.
About one hundred kegs of powder exploded. The
loss is estimated at SIOOO. —Springfield Journal,Oct. 2#.

Cotton in the early part of the week, but ihe market an* singe *

ricans have been to speculators. There is very little business do
ing in the market ; the sales on Saturday and to-day are only 1500*
hags ; hut in prices there is no alteration.
LIVERPOOL Sept. 24. —The sales of Cotton on Saturday were
100 bags, yesterday 600, and to-day 2 to 300 hags, at prices similar
to those recently obtained, being fully Id in most instances below
the highest limits they obtained in August; and there appears less
confidence in further amendments this season than there was a
few days agp, which is to be assigned in a great measure to ex
port order* being more scarce, and ihe consequent probability that
spinnerk will not continue to manufacture to any great extent, un
til prices are as low as they expect they will be in the spring.
Cotton. —There was an improved demand on Monday and Tues
day, hut the market has since been flat, and closed at a decline Os
Id. per lb. from the prices of Frida, last. Os 4000 Surat brought
forward by public sale to-ilav, only 500 wore sold, at a reduction of
Ad to ijd per lb. from the prices of 23d August- 400 American have
been taken on speculation ; 250 Sea Island and 200 Demerara, are
announced for public sale on Friday next.
LONDON, Sept. 24.—Cotton, on Friday at public sale, declined
} per lb. and is very heavy.
Tiie Cotton Print trade in the metropolis, is declining now. in
consequence of the season. Manufactured Silks are very lively

CHARLESTON, Nov. 7.— Cotton. — The demand ha* been lan
guid so far this week. Some few purchases wore made on Mon

cipal sales at 15 cents. Within the last two dav* our market has
been rather depressed, caused by the receipt of Liverpool accounts

[From Levy's New-Orleans Price Current, Oct. 26.]
Tiie dry and cold weather continued up to Wednesday, the 23d
inst. since when it has become warm and pleasant, menacing rain.
The Planters, who are now ail busy in expressing the juice from
the cane—or, as it is termed, “ grinding,” or “ ro'ling”— have been
favored in the highest degree. The cold weather has cheeked ve
getation, and the dry weather has ripened the Juice to a proper
consistency ; and, if favored with a continuation, the present
crop of Sugar will he the best in quality, as it is sure to lie the
greatest in quantity, that Louisiana ever produced. ’lTte prosper
ous condition of the Bngar planters Las been largely participated
by the cultivators of Cotton ; and as far as we have learned, eve
ry branch of agriculture bids fair to yield a rich harvest, and re
quite in ample measure for the disasters of the last season ; at
least as far as pecuniary gratification can efface the remembrance
of the desolating pestilence which, at about this time last year,
commenced its fell ravages in this section of the country. The
Mississippi remains at low water mark. The city is becoming
healthy ; and it is thought tiiat tiie light frost, which fell a few
nights since, will contribute very much toils salubrity.
Cotton. —Some difference of opinion exists as to the state of the
market. Conclusions drawn from the prices ami quality of the
lots sold this week, compared w ith the transactions of the preced l
ing, would appear to some persons to indicate a slight improve
ment in the prices of the liner qualities ; but, after diligent search,
and satisfactory information, we give it as the decided opinion of ■
the most experienced merchants and brokers, that there has lieen
no change : if any, it has been in favor of buyers. The principal
operations have been for France: and the demand still continue*
inner for that market than for England—for the la ter place there
appears to he very little demand. The sales of the week have
been, viz : 1000 bales, fine marks, at 18 : 700 hales 17|: 1091 at 17 :
700 at 16} : and a small lot, at 19 cents per lb. round, the latter to
class —all of Louisiana and Mississippi: and a lot of 150 bale*
Western District of Tennessee, at 15| rents per lb. This descrip
tion of Cotton is very scarce : and a merchant, largely in the trade,
informed us, that he believed tiiat the best Would command 17 cti.
per. lb. In general, it is said, that so far, the staple of Ihe present
crop is not so good as that if last season, hut that the color is bet

MOBILE, Nov. 2.— Cotton— The receipts this week are 801 v
bales, and none lias been exported. The stock on hand including
all on shipboard not cleared, is 2030 bale*. In the early part ol
the week, a few sales were effected at 16c a 16}c. and one lot
brought 17c. The advices from Liverpool, however, shewing a
decline in that market, had the effect of checking operations here,
purchasers insisting on a reduction of A a }c holders be.ng
unwilling to submit toil, very little has been'done. One small
lot of good cotton was sold yesterday at 164 c. which may be con
sidered the iiighest range of the mark el. The sl«ck is let insuffi
cient to enable us to quote the different qualities according 10
their cla-ses We can only add that the purchases made since
the receipt of the Liverpool advices, have been fully Ac below the
prices previously current.
