Very little, if any thing, was said before the |
late elections, about the amendment of the state
constitution, proposing to change the annual to
biennial elections and meetings of the legisla
ture. By the few returns which have reached
wa, it appears that there will be a majority of the
Voters in favor of biennial elections. The next
Legi stature will have, therefore, to decide the
.■question hy two thirds of the members concur
ring in the amendment proposed. Will the leg
islature pass the amendment 7 We believe it
will ; and we be'ieve also that a majority of the
people o( Georgia is in favor of it. In differing
from this majority, we are well aware that tho
-odds are greatly against us ; but as we have
formed our opinion upon the subject long ago,
and as, since, nothing has occurred which could
lead us to change it, we must now, as wo have
always done, express our conviction, that annual
elections and meetings of tho legislature, are
more in accordance with democratic principles
than at longer periods, and that our civil and polit
ical rights will always be more respected and
better preserved under the present system, than
under-the one proposed in the amendment con
templated. It is due, therefore, to our readers,
and to ourselves, that we should give our rea
sons far such a material difference of opinion j
upon auch an important point of our political |
: system.
Th« proposed amendment can be rerommen
. Aed only on the ground of economy; and we be
lieve none other can be adduced. And is this
the main reason advanced, during the last ten
years, for a reduction of members in both branch
es of th® legislature ? Certainly not. As for j
. ourselves, we never gave economy us the essen
tial reason tor reduction. We considered econ
. omy as an incidental and beneficial object, if re
duction was effected. The principal reason we
urged, was wise, judicious, and well digested
legislation; and alltfie arguments we advanced,
iu support of our position, tended to show, that
such legislation as was desirable, could not be
oblaimtd, unless the number of members was
t considerably reduced ; we never thought of
reducing the number of members, merely for the
sake of economy. Can economy, in our state,
b« compared to proper legislation ? If, with the
pres®nt number of members, wise and whole
some laws could be made, we would have nev
er recommended reduction, because such legis
lation has no price. If the amendment proposed
is adopted by the legislature, the same objection?
loan unmanageable body of men will still exist. I
No better legislation can be expected, because
they sit biennially, instead of sitting annually.—
The»*Jn« loose and hasty legislation willoccui :
as formerly. And in order to save thirty or (or. j
i ty thousand dollars annually, tho same manner
of making laws, which have to bo constantly re
vised and amended, is still to remain in exis
tence, and to produce the evils of which the peo.
plo have been complaining for many year*.
Ik ta well understood that the last legislature
adopted this amendment, because it was believed
that the people of the several sections of the
stale could not agree in a basis for the represen
tation of tlie counties in the legislature. And
we admit that one of the objections to the pre
sent number of members, was the expense of
each session. But is it expected that the people
will be less urgent, after the proposed amend
ment is incorporated into the Constitution, fora
reduction of members? Wo believe tspe- .
tially it our legislation does not improve, nod if j
the counties, winch are constantly in need of leg.
islative intervention, do suffer in iheir local con
cents for the want of that assistance which the
Constitution hae authorized the legislature only i
to afford. The people will soon perceive that
the economy obtained in legislative expenses
will not compensate them lor the loss their res
pective counties may sustain by the delay in ob
taining relief. Hut we do not admit that bien.
nial will he more economical than annua! ses
-1 sions. At annual sessions the legislature sit*
from the first Monday in November to Christ
mas. Notwithstanding these annual session* of
fitly to filty-five days, a large mass of business
remains unfinished at every session, which haa
I to be taken up, in many instances, at the succeed
• ing session. Is it reasonable to suppose, theta
legislature which sits only once in two years, :
will be able, in fifty or filty-five days, to transact |
all the business which will be brought before it,
and which will have been prepared during two ;
years 7 Certainly not. If annual sessions of
filty-five days cannot go through nil the business
j before them, biennial sessions will lie less able
I la do it, on account of an accumulation of county
| matters, which will have to be acted on. To do
justice to the people, the legislature will have
to sit at least three months, if not more. This
will inevitably be th# case. Where then will tho
economy be 7 Two annual sessions take one
hundred and ten days ; a biennial session will oc- '
py pt least ninety. To save twenty days
we subject ourselves to the hasty and loose le
gislation of ml unwieldy hotly of men, without
deriving those benefits which the people have a
right to expect from those to whom the power
has been delegated to make good and whole
some laws for the whole community.
We shall continue the subject in subsequent
I papers, and consider it under the various aspects
of wliich it is susceptible.

LONDON, Aug 31, Evening.
With respect to the civil war still lingering in
Navarre and Biscay, we have little in the way of
intelligence to add to the accounts which we
gave last week. Don Carlos is constantly
pressed by Rodil, and so close had been the pnr
suit, that scarcely a hope remained of his ulti
mate escape. We have been assured, from i
quarters of high authority, that much misap
prehension has prevailed as to the nature and ex.
tent of the warfare in these provinces. It is
quite erroneous to suppose that the bands of in
solvents now contending again- 1 the Queen’s
troops took up arms in the first instance to .-nip- .
port the cause of legitimacy, or to enforce the ;
right of Don Carlos to the throne of Spain. The I
inhabitants ol Biscay and Navarre had enjoyed
several exclusive privileges, which the Queen’s I ;
Government refused to acknowledge ; this refu
sal naturally created mnch excitement and exns. |
peration, little short, indeed, of open insurree- j
non among the entire population of the two pro- , ,
vinces ; and it occurred to the advisers of Don ,
Carlos, that if he placed himself at the head of
these insurgents, and gave a political direction to ,
their discontent, he might succeed in gathering
to Ids standard, all the enemies of the new Gov- (
eminent. The utter unpopularity of his cause, ]
and his own personal cowardice, have, however,
ensured the failure of the enterprize ; for we (
have been assured that lie has scarcely a suppor- (
ter in any of the other provinces of Spain, and (
that his care for his sacred person, forces him to j ,
seek a disgraceful flight, whenever there appears ; .
to be the slightest danger of contact with the l
troops of the young Queen. His acting as the j (
leader of the insurrection consists in his being j
the fiast and fastest in a retreat. In Madrid,the |
circumstance of his actual presence m Spain,
saem? almost forgotten.— Observer. t

The Temps “says ; “A marked coolness ex- i
istsbetweenM.de Talleyrand, and M. L. 80.- t

whelmed each other with politeness and amia- i
bility.” ‘
“It is announced in the most positive manner, ■
that the Portuguese Government has ordered i
the lormation of a corps of observation in Tra- j
os Monies, in. order to succour tne Spanish | .
troops if it should be needful. It is said also, ;
that the sloop of war Isabella Maria, had been 1

SPAIN.
Intelligence brought by the express from Ma
drid, states that a majority ot the Finance Com
mittee, agreed to the recognition ol the Cortes j
Bo.ids, principal and interest, bur objected tq the
Ruc.es Perpetue lies, or Royal loans contracted
since the year 1821. The arguments used by
the majority of the Committee were, that the
loans contracted bv the late King, were without
the concurrence or consent of the Cortes of the
kingdom, without whose approval tiie act ol bor
rowing was unconstitutional and despotic, and
therefore the nation was not bound to recognise
them on any principle whether of honor or jus
tice ; whereas the Cortes Bonds were raised by
the 'authority of a body whose collective acts
were sacred in the estimation of all loyal Span
iards. They further contend that the money
jobbers who enahbui Ferdinand to trample upon
the ancient Constitution of Spain, were lu ! !y
aware of the hazardous nature of the security
they obtained, should the nation ever so far re
cover its liberties as to be able to assert its own
constitutional right? ; and that to recognise
debts so contracted, would be to establish a pre
cedent. pledging Spain to the payment of what
ever sums any future tyrant might think proper
to raise in her name. Out of the nine who com
pose the Finance Committee, three are for the
recognition of the entire debt, and it is expected
a majority Wi 11 yet agree to the redemption of the
Royal debt, at about from thirty to sixty per cent

The indicatenr of Bordeaux, of the 28th ult.
received by express, contains the following:—
“The disembarkation of arms from Dutch ships
having been rendered impracticable by the block
ade of the coast of Biscay, the m.-urgents who
had quitted Navarre, for the purpose ol aiding
the measure, have been obliged to return to the r
former positions. They are again in the vicinity
of our frontier, in hopes of being able to obtain
powder, arms and provisions.—Zumalacarregny,
; despairing of his cause, had joined Don Carlos !
and having concentrated nil his disposable foret s,
had manifested an intention of risking battle be-
I fore the arrival of reinforcements from Burgos;
but either from an apprehension of failure, or
| from his plans having been thwarted by the mnn
i oeuvres of the Queen’s Generals, the Carlist
! Chief is again cut off from the principal part of
j his partisans. On the22d, far from taking ofl'en
| sive measures, he was in flight towards Hoiz,
pursued by Lorcuso, who was in tolerable force
i near Pampeluna. Subsequently, in order to
; avoid new attack, he took a rapid course towards
Lumhier, on t! e frontier of Arragon, where he
I is now presumed to be with seven dispirited bat
talions. On the evening of the 22d, Rodil passed
Tolosa in pursuit of’D m Carlos, who had arriv
ed in the night at St. F.stevan; whence Iriarte must
have dislodged him in the morning. In conse
quence of this movement, Rodil has once more
• penetrated into Baston. His advanced guard,
on arriving at Elisondo, again put the Carlist
junta to fight. Terror is at it* heightin the val'ey.
i Notwithstanding the utmost vigilance, it is said
that horses find their way to the
insurgents- The quantity, however, is not of
; sufficient magnitude to save them from inevitable
defeat.”
This journal also gives the following extract
of a letter from Bayonne, of the 24th : “ A battle
! took place on the 19th, at Larien, between the
Queen’s troops and those of Znmalacarreguy.
i The issue was not known, the Brigadier Her
ranza was killed, and the Count de Via-Manuel,
a Spanish Grandee, was taken prisoner by the
insurgents. The Carlists have conveyed to Lum
bar a great quantity of rations, under escort of
four companies of the battalion.—The celebrated
Convent of Aranzaza was set on fire.

PORTUGAL.
The kingdom of Portugal, so long the seat of
despotic power has no iv taken its position amongst
the free countries of Europe, and under a form
of government resembling, in all essential parti
culars, that under which the Britisu people lived i
for so many ages, is about to commence its con
stitutional career. On the 14th of August, Don
Pedro, as Regent of Portugal, opened the first .
session of the Chambers, in a speech which will *
long be referred to all by the true Portuguese j
and iriends of Portugal with pride and satisfac |
tion. In this speech be took a rapid review ot ;
the great events of the last six years, tracing the
rise of Portuguese freedom, from the granting
of the charter, through the dark periods of des
potism and usurpation, and the desperate strug
gles of the civil war, to the triumphant close of
the contest in the abdication of the usurper and
the ruin of the servile cause. The terms of ex- j
ujtation in which be speaks of the memorable |
struggles are such as might have been expected j
from a Prince who has been the life and soul of j
the Constitutional party, and who has shown from I
the hour of its commencement to it* cl sea cour.
age and constancy which throw all the previous
glories of the House of Dragnnza into the shade.
Ifev ry Prince had reason to be proud of his
services to Ins people, it is Don Pedro, who has
added to the glory ofgiving freedom to the Por
tuguese that of maintaining it against the over
whelming force of his enemies, and of conquering
the liberties of his country from an usurping and
tyrannical faction.
[From the Loudon Morning Herald of Sept. 2.]
The Stock Marketopened rather heavily this
morning, the accounts from Paris referring to
the probability of some fresh misunderstanding
between England and France, and the Great
Northern Powers, connected with the affairs of
Spain. The affairs of Russia and Turkey also
have commanded some attention, the advice
from Constantinople, leading to the opinion that
the Ottoman Government intend to commence
warlike operations against Mehemet Ali, for the
recovery of Syria, The speculators of Paris ap
pear exceedingly anxious to connect the Emperor
ol Russia with this movement, should tiie new*
be true, on the part of the Sublime Porte. In
the City, however, the reports on this subject
did not produce any alarm, although it cannot be
denied that, recollecting the policy of the Auto
crat of Russia, he will forward any measure* i
which may tend to increase his influence with
Turkey, with a view to the ultimate conquest
and annexation of that country to his already too
extended empire.
From the Baltimore Intelligencer,
The Union. —The United States must inevit
ably become the most powerful and influential
nation on earth, if they remain faithful to their
own admirable Constitution. No people have
their destiny so completely in their own hands
as we, and hence nothing is required to secure
our national glory but fidelity to ourselves. Pos
sessing, as we do, an immense territory, and
within the limits ot this territory, all the inex
austible resources of wealth and prospective
grandeur ; singularly ingenious in the invention
of labor saving machinery, and prompt in the
application ot such machinery ; governed by
laws enacted by legislators of our own choice ;
the inestimable advantages of education tender
ed to all without discrimination, and by its
cheapness placed within the reach of the most
indigent; enjoying unlimited freedom in the
lawful pursuit of gain and distinction ; separated
by ocean from the pragmatic interference and
iainreal assaults of foreign foes ; we rannot
conceive ot a probable event that can prevent j
us from attaining to our magnificent destiny, or 1
«*^ j^*yj-r«agiH!Baaa*aaMaiMrea«gM^iß^i-irni, t’g3s
even materially retard our progress towards it,
| except internal division. Ol all the calamities
| that might befal us, we should dread none more
I than the severance of that chain which unites
the States as one Confederated Government, and
binds and cements ns together as one whole,
1 harmonious people. Should this golden cord-in
| some evil hour he rent asunder, then indeed may
i we hang our harp upon the weeping willows,
: and inscribe upon “the star spangled banner,”
; in prominent characters, “ Thy glory ts depar
| tad I” Jealousy, envy, contention, encroach-
I ments, war, bloodshed and ruin, would be the
| almost certain issue ; nor would tranquillity
j return until the liberties of the people were en.
tombed beneath the ravages of iron despotism or
the trappings of haughty aristocracy. European
courtiers have long since proclaimed this result.
When the bright example of American liberty
is appealed to as a living evidence ot the capa
city of the people for self government, and a
proud exhibition of national happiness based
upon universal suffrage anil equal rights ; the
replv is : “ If. is but an idle experiment which
has not yet been tested, a pitiful Utopian scheme,
a baseless fabric which nurtures in its own bosom
the elements of its speedy overthrow ; —wait
but a few years and the spell will be broken, and
the subjects ot royalty will rejoice that it is not
their unhappy lot to live in a republic, which is
only another name for mobocracy and anarchy.”
Such are frequently the boastful prophecies of
trans atlantic statesmen, and it is a fact that thev
secretly smile at what they term the folly of
Americans in dreaming that their government
rests upon a permanent foundation. May a wise
and benignant Providence put to slianie their
presumptuous predictions. We confess that we
are at a loss to conjecture any event that would
be likely to verify those predictions but the dis
ruption of the Union. Let, therefore, every
friend of our free institutions watch with eagle
eye the “golden chain” that constitutes us one
people ; let the first essay to break it asunder
meet with universal and unqualified indignation,
and the most exemplary punishment. Whatev
er diversity of sentiment in matters of internal
policy may ag’tate the various contending parties
of our beloved country, let all agree in this one
cardinal point : “The UNION must he picser
ved,” and then we may laugh to scorn the invi
dious surmises ot foreign adversaries, and hurl
defiance at the combined assaults of the world.
“ United we stand, divided we fall.”
To the Editor of the Floridian.
Sir—The inclosed letter of D A. Smith,Esq.
published in the National Intelligencer of the
3d inat. is for publication in your paper, as being
, of the greatest interest to the people of this Ter
ritory,
The plan of Mr. Smith, of connecting New.
' Orleans with the Seat of the General Govern
ment, by Rail Roads and steam boat naviga
j tion, is one of deep interest to the whole South.
: | ern and Western country ; the former by niak
- 1 ing neighbors of distant Stales, with which a
i good portion of their commerce is carried on,
, | and the latter by openmg a free market for the
.great quantity of produce that finds its way to
the Southern States by the coasting trade from
New Orleans, even to the Atlantic board; a
considerable portion el which is f«r interior
consumption.
Wli iie a scheme of such great importance is i
under consideration, it is well to draw public at
tention to the various directions by which it may
be accomplished. The one proposed by Mr.
■ Smith, which is the one generally thought of,
seems to present difficulties in the mountainous
I country through which it passes, tiiat dampens
! the prospect of its being undertaken. There is
I another route which is scarcely mentioned, which
| I will point out, rhat seems not only much pre
ferable, but may be deemed highly practicable,
j and one which is thought highly worthy, not on
! ly of the General Government, but also of capi
talists, as furnishing Stock that would be highly
valuable. This route is through the low coun
try of the Atlantic coast, across the peninsula of
Florida, and then to follow the Gulf Coast to the
mouth of Pearl River, in Mississippi; connect
ing all the commercial ports of the South, and
through a country not equalled in the United
States in smoothness and fitness for Rail Roads.
To follow this route from Charleston, S. C. to
the South, we have to Savannah 110 miles of
perfectly level country, from thence to Jackson
ville on the St. John’s river, there is good and
j direct steam boat navigation 1-50 miles, and from
Jacksonville by the way ofTallahassee, Pensaco
la, Blakely, Mobile, to Pcarlington at the mouth
1 of Pearl River, 469 miles, and from this place to
New Orleans is 40 miles by steam boat naviga
tion through lake Pentchartrain, making in all
190 miles by steam boats and 579 by rail roads,
which, by allowing for all necessary delays, can.
be travelled over in three and a half or four
days. The country is so generally level tiiat no
stationary power would be lequired to impede
the travelling, at least nine-tenths of the whole
distance is on a natural level admirably fitted for
this species of conveyance, and the remaining
tenth tsbuf moderately undulating. The height
to be overcome in crossing the peninsula, as per
levels made by Capt. Swift. U. S. Topographi
co! Engineer, is but about 230 feet.
The expense of constructing a Rail Road on
the above route, will be very small, compared
with other works in less favored countries. Be
tides the low cost of grading or preparing the
way for the structure of the track over so leve
a country, there is an abundance ol the best ma
terial, the lightwood pine, on the whole extent
of it for the work. The highest rate that could
be estimated for the average cost of this work
per mile, will be $7,000 per mile fora double
track, or for the whole distance $4,053,000, I
adopt this estimate from my estimated cost of the
projected Rail Road, from this place to St.
Marks, surveyed for the Tallahassee Rail Road i
Company, which has its full proportion of broken
country to pa*s ever, and which with but a single
track will cost much less than a proper propor
tional part ofth* foregoing estimate.
To commence this scheme, it will require but
the distance from Jacksonville to Tallahassee,
150 miles, the peninsula part of the route to be
constructed to establish the communication to
New Orleans at once ; and for this part of it,
the Legislative Council of the 1 territory have
granted a liberal charter for any company that 1
may be formed at anytime under it. There is ,
steam boat navigation from Charleston to Sa
vannah, and from St. Marks to New Orleans
steam packets may ply to complete the commu
nication. And ss the work should proceed
| westward from Tallahassee, the steam packets
I could meet it at the different harbours on the
| Coast; at Apalachicola, St. Joseph’s, St, An-
I drew's, Choctahatchte, St. Rosa, Pensacola and :
j Mobile Bays.
i This communication through the ports on the
j sea-board, appears to have advantages much a-
I hove the route of the interior, particularly to
1 the commercial affairs of the country, which
will be in more immediate connection v/ith the
i institution proposed bv Mr. Jr. to be created to
1 effect this object. The transportation of spe-
cie as well as merchandise and country produce,
will be of no little consider ition to facilitate ex
change, and which with the travelling on the
road, it is believed, will make the stock of it
highly valuable. The necessity ot the canal
across the peninsula of Florida, which has oc
cupied the attention of Government tor some
years past, and for which surveys have been
made, would by this he superseded as well as
the inland water communication along the coast
and through the lakes to the Mississippi river
from St. Marks.
With these views, I leave the subject with
you to lay before the public thro, gh your paper,
should you deem it worthy a place in it.
Respectfully, your ob’t serv’t.

ticularly well over a white dress; a new foulard
shawl has a very beautiful broad border of
variegated china-asters, on a light green ground,
the shawl itself being lilac or fawn colour; for
evening dress the satin shawls continue fashion
able.
Pelerines are so universal, and will continue
so during this month, that no morning dress can
be finished without one, and though the more
full dross mantilla is frequently seen (made of
lace, on muslin lined with colour) still by tar the
greater number of neglige and carriage dresses
have merely the simple pelerine; it reaches to
the waist behind, anil about two inches below the
girole in front; is cut away very much on the
bosmn, and covers part of the full sleeve.
