These Indians having 640 acres or more to

a poverty, which, if proportioned for all the peo.
pie of our Union, would give us half the habita
ble world for our share. If the United States
pursue a course as liberal, with respect to all the
Aborigines within our limits, there will yet re.

HUNDRED MILLIONS OF SOULS!

The following letter from Fairfax Catelet, Esq.
late of this city, gives us same interesting inlor
matiou from Texas.
Velasco, July 20, 1836.
Our army is still at Victoria, upon the river
Guadaloupe. Lamar had arrived there agreea
bly to the last accounts, and presented limaself
as Commander-in-Cliief of the Texian forces;
but with all his popularity was unable to obtain
the concur! ence of the army with the wishes of
the cabinet. The question was put to vote,
whether he should enjoy the chief command, or
Rusk continue in his former capacity, until the
arrival of Gen. Houston. The matter was doci.
ded by an overwhelming majority in favor of the
two latter gentlemen; so that Rusk remains
; Brigadier General Commanding, and the autho
rity of Major General Houston will be recognis
! ed so soon as he arrives in camp. Lamar is said
| to have behaved in his usual disinterested and
i patriotic manner.
| The army in the field at this lime is two thous
' and strong. Col. Wilson’s regiment will soon
I be in marching order. The whole country is
up and moving on to camp. The old settlers are
! determined to redeem their injured credit, —un-
! deservedly injured, as the great majority of them
i could not have acted differently, and secured
1 their families from the ■blood-thirsty violence of
] 1 a ruthless and semi-barbarous foe, —and they are
i now Hocking onwards, to prove to an invidious
! world that their arms are as strong, and the spi
■ I rit of liberty burning as brightly in their hearts,
as it ever did in the olden time, when the inde
. pendencc of their mother country was in its cra
dle, and rocking amid the elements of internal
di*cord and foreign recklessness;
Felix Houston has been promoted to the rank
, of Ifrigr, Genl. by brevet. Green still enjoys
the commission which he appeared ta prize so
highly in New Orleans.—They are both in camp.
■ Santa Anna, the ill fated and fallen despot, is now
at Columbia, and has the pleasing anticipation of
being shortly escorted to the army, and there re.
ceiving his sentence —a detachment has been
ordered in for the purpose. You may hear of a
catastrophe before many weeks have elapsed. I
anticipate it with positive certainty.—Miserable
indecision in not having inflicted upon him “death
or worse punishment” immediately after his cap
ture, when the act would have been upheld and
justified by the whole civilized world,
Genl. Rusk, has ordered the Mexican families
on the Guadaloupe, and La Baca, and all those
w ho were likely to afford information to the ene
mv, to retire upon the Rio Grande, cr lake them
selves off to the Colorado. Carbajal De Leon,
and some others, intend making t summer so
journ in New Orleans. Health to them!
There are said to he no Mexican troops on this
side of the R;o Grande. They are preparing to
make a desperate effort to heal their wounded
honor, and recover possession of Uls paradise—

Head Quarters Western Department )
Camp Sabine, 11 th July, 1856. £
The present posture of affairs in Texas indi
cates the probability of Indian disturbances on
the western and southwestern borders of the
United States, in the course of the summer and
autumn. On this hypothesis must be predica
ted all military movements on this frontier. It
is therefore directed that, on any service requi
ring a detachment o! the troops at any military
station or camp, to be sent on duty in the wilder
ness on which they may he absent more than
two days, and out ofsupportmg distance, not less
than two hundred infantry, or one hundred and
fifty mounted men be detached. The fate of
Major Dade’s command in Florida illustrates
the importance of a strict attention to this or.
der.
Bv order of Major General Gaines.

Head Quarters, Western Department, I
Camp Sabine, July 10, 1836. J
Sir: Having received satisfactory information
that, among the Indians who have recently com
mitted depredations upon the frontier inhabitants
of Texas, in Robertson’s Colony, there were
some of ihe tribes residing within the limits of
the State of Louisiana cr Arkansas, I have dee
med it proper, in order to ascertain to what ex
tent these Indians have participated in these
depredations, and, at the same time, restrain
their hostile incasions into Texas, to direct
your attention to the matter; for which purpose
you will repair with the forces under your com.
mand, to the town of Nacogdoches, where you
will, fur a time be occasionally stationed at until
otherwise directed; and to which place I have
ordered seventeen thousand four hundred rations
ol flour, with the like quantity of the small parts
of the ration, together with eigltt thousand five
hundred rations of pork, with authority for a sup.
ply of beef sufficient to complete the whole sup.
ply to 17,400 rations.
\ Your position at Nacogdoches must combine
the several advantages of strength, health, and
comfort, and it must be fortified by a small
breast work constructed of light materials, with
a block house or two, at the opposite angles.
The primary object of the present occupancy
of that post is to enable me to carry into effect
instructions of the President of the United
States, embraced in the It tier from the Depart
ment of War dated 12 h May, 1836, of which I
enclose herewith a copy for your information
■ and government.
Should you find any of the Indians, of our
side of the supposed nation il boundary, mani
festing a hostile spirit, you will urge them to re.
turn to their villages and be peaceable. But
should they, or any other Indians, or other arm
i ctl forces, be found in a warlike attitude, or in
the net of any hostility against the United Stales
troops, or against any of the inhabitants of this
frontier, or of the the disputed territory to the
south or east, or north of Nacogdoches, you
will in that case employ tho forces of your com
mand to arrest or otherwise restrain them from
such hostility, notifying the commanding officer 1
here of their position, probable numbers, and
conduct ; to the end that the forces at this place
may promptly support and co-operate with you,
in their arrest or punishment. But you will not
attack them without evidence of their hostility,
demonstrated by their conduct rather than by
their threats, taking care to conform strictly to
the precautionary measures prescribed in the
instructions herewith enclosed, as well as the
genera! regulations of the War Department.
You will keep the commanding officer at this
place, and at Fort Towson, informed of every
movement, and every measure, connected with
or embraced in the directions and duties assign
ed to you.
I am, very respectfully.
Your obedient servant,

CREEK WAR
f From the Macon Telegraph ]
Thursday, 12 o'clock noon Aug 11, 1836.
A smart nuuung gol,; took place betw-. eu the
Pulaski company of Volunteers and a small parti
ot hostile Indians, on Saturday. 6:h instant, on
the edge of tne tarn us Chickasaw ha tehee awamp
in Baker county. It appears, the Pulaski com-
pany had received information of the position of
the enemy, and went in pursuit; but belore they
reached within musket shot distance, they were
discovered by the sentinels of the Indians, and
the alarm given. The Indians filed and run,
pursued by the whites. Owing to the thickness
of the underbrush and the swampy nature of the
ground, they were unable to come up with them,
but trailed them to a considerable distance by
their blood. They succeeded in captaring a
number of horses, their cooking utensils, and a
large quantity of ammunition.

GENERAL SCOTT.
We have been put in possession of a letter I
frem General Sco't to a gentleman, in relation
to the mode in which his controversy with Gene
ral Jesuu has been drawn into tho newspapers.
He says :
*• 1 have not wrilen a word to the Bulletin ;
I have not, in fact, suggested a line or a tact fur
any newspaper whatever. So far Irom doing
any thing in that way, I have taken care to con.
verse but little, even with my friends, on milna.
ry matters in controversy, lest my knowledge of
circumstances and my feelings should find their
way into the public papers, being aware that in
the great political contest now raging, every
thing likely to change a vole would be eeived
upon for the purpose."
In reference to the particular publications of
Webb and King, alluded to in the Globe, the
General says ;
“ This day, Wednesday week, I went over to
New York and met Colonel Webb, close by
Trinty Church ; after the ordinary salutation, I
asked him whence he derived the particulars of
an article on my subject, in his paper of the day
or the day but one belore 7 In the act of evad
ing the enquiry, he was interrupted by Charles
L, Livingston, whojoined us. He then finish
ed the answer, and slated to Mr. L. my -question.
After some jocose remarks, he invited Mr, L.
and myself to spend the following Saturday eve
ning and Sunday at his house, on Long Island.
I declined, on the ground that I did not wish
to associate with politicians, under my circum
stances, I might be led to speak of recent mil
itary events, &c. Mr. L., who is a strong sup.
porter of Mr. Van. Buren, and myself, then
walked up Broadway, and Colonel Webb down.
The next day I again went over to New Ifork,
and chanced to meet Mr. Charles King. An
article in his paper a day or two before, headed
a General in search of the Government, had been
pointed out to me. I asked him whence he had
derived the knowledge of the particulars 7 &c.
He gave me no satisfactory answer ; when I
remarked to him, as I the day before had said
to Webb, all the world will attribute the article
to me; I declare before God, that I am as ig
norant of the source of either article, as Mr.
Bbir himselfcan be.”
Upon the absolute and circumstantial denial
made by Gen. Scott himself, we unhesitatingly
declare, that we acquit him of the suspicion ot
having prompted the attempt to divert his case
into a political channel, and make it subserve
party interests, and so avail himself of party
support. General Scott will certainly, however,
pardon the mistake, inasmuch as he foresaw lha:
“ all the world would attribute the at tides to
him." Webb’s display of the letter, and King’s
hue and cry of “ a General in search of the Go.
vernment,” being simultaneous with tiie arrival
of Gen.Scoit in New York, was calculated to
fasten the impression on ns more than Olliers
because on inquiry at the Department, we learned
that no copy ol the original letter on file had ever
been made out, but that taken on by Gen. Scott
io New York; and also, that the General had
reported himself to the Acting Secretary of
War—had demanded a court of inquiry; and
had his demand been complied with, w hich, as
it concluded his business with the Department,
left no doubt in our mind that if he had other
objects, rendering the pursuit of the Secretary
necessary, he had communicated the exigency
to those editors who represented the absence of
that officer, as at wrong io Gen. Scott.
In taking this, we trust, last notice of the
military concents which are to become the sub
jeet of investigation before a military tribunal, it
is proper that w* should say that we have never
meddUtd voluntarily in them. It will be remem
bered that Captain Hitchcock wrote an elaborate
paper vindicating the campaign of Gejaenl
G ones, and reflecting with severity uponfylicr
officers, to whom its failure ’was attriMffbd.
Among these was General Jesup, who was ac.
cused of not doing his dmy in forwarding pro
visions. To this the General replied through
the Globe, and Captain Hitchcock rejoined since
the last campaign commenced. From this it
will be seen that General Jesup had no reason
to suppose that from partiality to him, we would
refuse to give to the public any statements re
garding the manner in which he discharged his
public duties Tbe Globe had also published a
multitude of Gen. Scoti’a orders and letters,
some of them bringing the heaviest accusations
against kis inferior officers. Some were sent to
us for publication, as we understand, at his in
stance, and against the judgment of his friends.
General Jesup had reason, therefore, to suppose
that the letter of his superior impeaching his
conduct might find its way to the public under
the direction of General Scott, as that accusing
Major Reed ofcowardice had done before. He
addressed bis letter to us, that we might at least
understand that he felt himself wronged, and
meant to vindicate himself before tiie public
through a court of inquiry. His letter was of
such a character that we would have supposed
he meant that it should appear in the columns of
the Globe, if Gen. Scott’s despatch had become
public, but for the circumstance that it was
marked private ; but this we considered only a
precaution—a precaution observed by many of
our correspondents—against giving it in the
columns of our paper. We did not hold it to be
a confidential letter, or we would not have given
it to the files of the War Department, to be made
a public and official document. We understood
General Jesup’s injunction simply to say, that he
did not wish to begin a newspaper war, hut he
wished the President, and the editor ol the prim
which had thrown so many of General Scott’s
charges before the public, to know that he looked
to the report of a court of inquiry for his v ndica
tion; but the spies for the opposition in tins city
have been enabled to drag this private let er from
the files, and thus we have been dragged into
the controversy.
[From the Richmond Enquirer .]
ABOLITIONISM IN CINCINNATI !
James G. Birney has established an Abolition
paper at Cincinnati, which has given great of
fence to her citizens. The excitement became
so great, that a handbill was pasted up in every
part of the City, to warn the incendiaries to de
sist. It concluded by stating, that “every kind
of expostulation and remonstrance has been re.
sorted to in vain ; longer patience would be
criminal. The plan is matured to eradicate au
evil which every citiacn feels is undermining Ids
business and property. —On the evening ol the
12ili July, Birney’s press was destroyed—but the
fanatic was determined to persevere. The pub.
lie sentiment, however, waxed the stronger;
and on the evening of the 23d ult., “one of the
largest, most orderly and unanimous assem
blages ever seen in Cincinnati” was held. Out
) of that large multitude but one voice went forth.
Wm. Burke took the chair, Morgan Nevil.e,
Vice President, Timothy Walker, Secretary.
The resolutions were of the most decided char.
acter--among others, the following :
“ Resolved, That the spirit exhibited bv the
immediate supporters of the abolition press in
this city, is entirely at variance with the feel
ings and opinions of the great mass of our popu
lation, is as unjust to our sister States, as it is
prejudicial tojour own quiet and prosperity.
“Resolved, That the establishment of the
said abolition press in this city, is a direct viola
tion of the solemn pledge heretofore given by
its conductor at a public meeting on this subject.
“ Resolved. That in the opinion of this meet,
ing nothing short of the absolute discontinuance
of the publication of the said abolition paper in
this city, can prevent a resort to violence, which
may be as disastrously its publisher and sup
porters. as il must be to the good order and fair
fame of our city.
“ Resolved, That we will use all lawful
means to discountenance and. suppress every
publication in this city, which advocates the mo
de rn doctrines of Abolitionism.
“ Resolved, That a committee consisting ol
twelve persons be appointed by the Chair, to
wait upon James G. Birney and his associates in
the publication ofthesiid paper, to remonstrate
with them upon the d;njerous tendency of the
course they are pursuing, to communicate to
them the actual tone of public feeling in the
city, to request them by every motive of patriot
ism, and philanthropy to desist from the public
ation of their paper ; and to warn them that it
they persist, we cannot hold ourselves respo
sible for the consequences : .
*• The Chair then appointed the following
persons as the above Committee, viz ; Jacob
Burnet, Josiah Lawrence. Rota. Buchanan,
Nicholas Longworth, John C.
M. Spencer, David luting, David T. Disney,
ThomastV. Bakewell, Stephen Burrows. John
P. Foote. Wm. Greene. —To whom on motion
the officers of this meeting were afterwards
added.”
The result of this interview was not known at
our last accounts.—But every thing indicated a
storm against Birney, if he did not yield to the
pub ic sentiment.

THE CENTRAL RAIL tCOAD.
We are gratified to learn that the President
and Directors ot ilie Central Rail Roail Comp#,
ny have engaged Mr. John Randall, ol Dela
ware, a gentleman of high standing and great
experience in hts profession, as principal En
gineer, and Mr. L, O Reynolds, late ot this
cuy. and favorably known to our fellow citilens
as assistant engineer of the contemplated Rail
Road from Savannah to Macon. Mr. Reynolds
is expected to arrive hero with a party in the
course ol a fortnig it. and will, under the direc
tion ot Mr. Randall, immediately commence
the survey of the road at Macon. Mr. Randall
will be in Georgia on or beiore the fi'sl day of
November next, and he will continue to reside
in the State superintending the work until Us
completion. As the funds of the company are
ample, there can be no doubt of the vigorous
prosecution ot this important work, and ol us
completion in the course of three years.
The Central Rail Road Bank has commenced
operations under tire most favorable auspices.
The building occupied by the Corpora ion on
the Bay has been fined up in a stylo creditable
to those employed, and has advantages « hat pro
bably no other edifice in the city presents, as it
combines capacious rooms lor all the requisite
offices of the Company with a convenient sire
for public accommodation.
Il we look beyond our cuy we find the Geor
gia Rail Road Company successfully carrying
on-us banking -business under the charier grant
ed at the last session of the legislature, and the
work on the road from Augusta to Athens rapidly
progressing.
These two roads can and will, we think, be
accomplished without pecuniary aid from the
Slate.
That portion of the surplus revenue, in the
Treasury ot the United States on the first ol
January next, which will fall to Georgia, can (il
accepted in the terms of the Deposite Law)
therefore be made auxiliary in effecting the
grand communication from the West and North
West to the seaboard of our State.
From the recent Report of Mr. Thompson,
Engineer ottha Athens Road and from informa
tion derived from other sourcej, we are induced
to believe that-the proper point for the entry of
the road from Knoxville is in Murray couny.
Georgians askebutfora proper spirit on the
part of her Legislators. We trust that we shall
at least, see a company incorporate it by our next
Legislature, with liberal aid from our Slate
Treasury, to construct a road from the Tennes
see line in Murray county, to a point on the
Chattahoochee whence the road can branch—
one way to Athens—another to Forsyth. By
such a scheme, two.thirds at least, ol the coun
ties in Georgia, and a larger proportion of c ; ii.
Zens would be diiectly benetiited, while the
people of the West would have the three impor
tant markets ol Savannah, Augusta and Macon
opened 10 their trade.
While on this subject, we take theopportuniry
to say, that we must cordially approve the con
tcmplated Convention at Macon, in November
next, and feel it to be highly important that this
city and county should be ably represented there.
Our fellow citizens will doubtless send to the
Macon Convention a delegation equal in talent
and public spirit to that which so ably represent
ed us at Knoxville.
Internal Improvement. —We are gratified to
learn, that Governor Schley has conferred on
Col. Brisbane, of South Carolina, the appoint
ment of Engineer (under a resolution of the last
Legislature) to survey the route of a Railway
(to be connected with the ■ Cincinnati Road)
through Georgia to the Seaboard, —and that
Col. B. will proceed forthwith to execute the
duties imposed on him. Col. B’s public and pri.
vate character eminently quality him for the
task. — Ibid.

session of 1832*and 1833, the votes on the pas
sage of Mr. Cldy’s land bill. It will be seen that
Messrs. White and Mangum voted against the
measure; and they not only voted against it on
its passage, but against every proposiiion made
by its friends, calculated to reconcile the coun
try to that or any other mode ot distribution. It
will be seen by the vote below, that every south
ern Senator voted in the same way. They voted
against the land distribution, as an indirect mode
of maintaining the tariff—and they held it to be
a palpable violation of the constitution.
But Messrs. Mangum and While went further
than some oilier southern Senators; they voted
for ihe substitute quoted below, which embraces,
1, Tiie graduation principle; The gift of the
lands remaining unsold a certain number ol years,
at the lowest grade of price, to actual settlers;
and 3. They voted for Mr. Benmn’s principle
confining the distribution to the proceeds alter
deducting the amount paid t* Indians, and other
expenses incurred by the Treasury, which would
have lelt little to div de.
It wII be found, on examining the Journal,
pages 301 and 314, that Judge Whne voted
against the graduation principle at the lust ses.
siou, which he had lormerly supported, and Man.
gum, who was absem wneti the question was
first taken on Mr. Walker’s graduation, jutted
White in voting down Mr. Robinson’s, which
proposed a still more gradual reduction, and was
less favorable to the settler than those offered at
former s> sstons, which were supported by both
White and Mangum.
The next glaring inconsistency of Messrs.
Mangum and White was shown in their votes in
regard to the deduction of the expenses incurred
about the lands out of the proceeds before they
were divided. In 1832 and 1833, they joined
Mr. Benton in his utmost effort to leave nothing
but the nett proceeds to mstribuic, but at the last
session they turned a somerset upon this point,
too—on the question made by Mr. Benton to as
certain the " nett proceeds" by deducting.
On “ Indian annuities on account of public
lan'is." Messrs. Mangum and W mte voteu in the
negative.
On deducting expenditures "for holding trea
ties with Indians for the put chase of public
lands” Messrs. White and Mangum voted in the
negative.
Also, on deducting •* amount paid to Indians
for the purchase of public lands ” Messrs. Man.
gum and White voted tn the negative.
Also, on d-duettng •* amount expended in re
moving Indians from lands purchased." Messrs.
Mangum and White voted in the negative. See
Journal, pages 316 and 317.
And on the 4th of May, 1838, Messrs. While
and Mangum consummated their inconsistencies,
by voting for the obnoxious land bill, which they
had opposed in all its stages in 1833 and 1833 :
We here add the substitute offered for the
land bit), and the vote on it in the session ol
i 832-’33.
The question recurring on agreeing to the
amendment reported to the bill by the Committee
on Public Lands, as follows :
After the enacting clause, strike out to the end
of the bill, and insert the following;
That so much of the public lands as have been
heretofore offered at public sale, and have been
subject to entry at private sale at one dollar and
twenty five cents per acre, and still remain unsold,
shall, from and after the thirtieth day of June
next, be offered at private sale at one dollar per
acre.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That it
shall and may he lawful for any head of a family,
or any single man over the age of twenty one
years, or any widow, and wishing to become an
actual settler on any parcel of land authorized b>
this act to be sold, and not exceeding one quarter
section in amount, to demand and receive, from
the proper register and receiver, as soon as the
said parcel shall have been offered at the price
by this act established, a written permission to
settle on the same; and if the person so applying
shall pay down to the proper receiver the sum of
silty cents per acre lor land offered at one dollar
per acre by the first section of this act, and shall,
forthwith, settle thereupon, and cultivate it for
five consecutive years, and shall be a citizen of
the United Stales at the end of that lime, the said
person, er his or her legal representatives, if
dead, shall be entitled to receive a paten: there,
for from the United States; and it two or more
persons entitled to the privileges of actual set
tiers shall apply at the same time for the same
parcel of land, then the register and receiver
shall immediately decide the right of preference
between them according to equitable circum
stances; and, where the equitable circumstances
appear *o be equal, the decision shall be by lot:
Provided, always. That no sale, alienation, or
&nnsf»T, of any settlement right sh ill he valid,
ami in no c .se shall the patent issue in the name,
or entire to the benefit ol any person but the set
tier himself, if livmg, or to hts widow and heirs
or devisees, it dead.
Sec. 3 And be tt further enacted. That the re.
gistera and receivers, for services done under
the second seetton of this act, shall have a right
to demand and take, from the persons applying
for such services, the following fees 4 for a
written permission to settle, tire safn of twenty
five cents each > for taking the proof of settle
ment, cultivation, and granting the final certifi.
cate, fifty cents each.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted. That it
shall be the duty of the President of the United
States to cause the land offices to be closed in all
the districts in which the public lands shall be
sold out, or otherwise disposed of twtder the pro.
visions of this act.
It was determined in thtt negative—yeas 17,

LITERARY.
A joint stock company has been formed at Pa
ris, with a capital of five hundred thousand francs,
for the parpo-e of publishing editions of standard
works, and which are published in a style of mag.
nificence hitherto unknown, and at the lowest pos.
sible prices. As a specimen of the prices, it is sta.
ted that the works of Moliere. splendidly printed,
and with eight hundred vignette engravings, will
be sold at twenty five francs; Gil Bias, with five
hundred and ninety three engravings, at fifteen
francs; a collection ot Latin authors,with a French
transition, in thirty volumes, and containing ns
much as two hundred common volumes, is sold
at three hundred fianca.
Tiie publication of those works is not confined
to the French language, but they will appear in
several foreign languages, with the French en
gravings, so that the benefits resulting from the
formation <>t the society are by no means exdu
sive and national; for the German. Italian, Span
iard. Englishman, and American, will all be
benefited; and. indeed, every nation may be, that
is literary and liberal enough to pay for the cost
of printing, as the engravings are adapted, of
course, to ail tastes and all languages. An Eng
1 1 sh edition of Gil Bias is about to be published,
or has been, in London, with the French en
graving®.
Why cannot a society of this description be
formed in the United Slates? We know of no
thing to prevent it, and many reasons might be
given why it could be done ; and, perhaps, not the
least potent is, that the stock itself would be
valuable, and would yield, we have little doubt,
as good dividends as canals and railroads in gene
ral. If a few enterprising booksellers would
identify themselves with the experiment, it would
succeed beyond doubt; and if, by possibility, it
should not, the loss sustained would not be great,
as the capital need not exceed one or two hun
dred thousand d-dlars. And to what purpose
more eh-gant or useful, or laudable, could that
sum be applied, than to a diffusion of knowledge
and the promotion of literature ?
So popular are the editions of (he works pub
lished by the company in France, that, according
to the Paris National, near eight thousand copies
ot the first numbers of Don Quixotte were sold
in two days.
A similar enterprise is now in successful ope
ration at H.vre, and the most material difference
is, we bel eve, that the works published on ac
count of the Literary Pantheon (as the Havre
establishment is called) are without engravings.
Sixty six volumes have appeared of the most ap
proved and popular works, the subjects being
historical, religious, philosophical, dramatic, po
ettcal, and p<>!vgraohtcal. Guicciardini’s Htsio.
ry ol It-.lv, a voluminous and expensive work, as
published generally, appears in one volume ;
Gibbon’s Roman Empire in two; all the histori
cal wotka ol Robertson in • wo, (generally in ten,
octavo,) ihe works ol Fenelou in three, of Mo
lure in one, of Rabelais in one, of Voltaire in
twelve, (heretofore from forty to one hundred
and twenty.) The volumes are all octavoes, and
the price of each t- n trancs, which is a reduction,
upon nn average, of not less than three or (our
hundred per cent.
The Harpers and others have done much of
late years in this country, towards multiplying
and cheapening valuable works in various de.
partments of literature, but the French method
ol attaining those desirable oujecis, number and
cheapness, appears to be. of all others, the most
practicable and the most eligible, as it involves
no hazard to individuals. 11 the company sus
tains a loss, it is so inconsiderable, when divided
among the stockholders, that it can occasion but
little inconvenience and no uneasiness.
LATER FROM FRANCE.
[ From the New York Star.]
An arrival .at Boston brings intelligence from
Paris to July 2d, one day later than the Poland
at this port, but nothing of particular interest.
In the address of the Chamber of Deputies, con
grntulating the King on his escape, M. Dupin
says :
St, whenever your august head becomes a
mark foi ass .ssins, each of us would willingly
make a rampart of his body.
M. Serrurier is again spoken of as Ambassador
to the United States, as soon as an American
Min ster shall have been accredited at the French
Court.
The affair of Allibeau furnishes, as might be
expected, a fruitful theme of speculation and
comment for the restless curiosity and vivid
im igination of the French. In the dearth of
political news, it is as much of a God send to
them as was the affair of Ellen Jewett to our
penny a-liners. Hts dress, features, gestures,
conversation, every thing is described with irk
some minuteness and prolixity, and many fine
speeches of course, which he never uttered, as
in the case of the revolutionary regicides while
ascending the scaffold, are put in his mouth.
The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours were at
Verona, June 22d. Their absence probably was
chosen by Allibeau as the most favorable moment
to change the dynasty of France, as in the event
of Louis Philhppe’s death, and the two next
heirs to the throne being out of the country, the
revolution would have been more complete.
The following remarkable fact is staled :
“A few minutes only before his Majesty en
tered his carriage to return to Ntnilly, he had
been examining with a minute attention the con
tenia of the gallery and halls of the Louvre,
which are now open to the public, and had given
fresh orders for devices and other improvements
in the interior of the Palace. His Majesty was
attended by the Commandant of the Louvre, and
the Duke of Choiseul; he stopped to look at a
plan of the horrible attempt upon his life, that
was committed on the Boulevard du Temple ; in
which all the sad details of that fatal event are
strikingly exhibited in cork. • Look, M. de Choi
seul, ’ said the King, ‘at this representation of
our lamentable affair of the 28th of July,’ which
he was examining with a countenance strongly
tinged with melancholy. In five minutes after
wards, the life of the King was exposed to the
attack of another Fieschi, on the very threshold
of his Palace.”
The postponement of the dreaded impost on
home made beet sugar, has given occasion for
the erection of several new manufactories near
Valenciennes.
Extract from M. Thiers* speech to the Depu
ties, June 10 h:—
“ Do not beht-ve for a moment, that
we intend to seek continually, incessantly for war
and victories. No, gentlemen. we wish Algiers
i to become a great and powerful slate, which will
he resorted to from evorv part of Europe as a
place ot refuge and protection against proscrip
tion. We intend it to be like to one of those
noble and splendid asylums w hich, in the HS'h
century, were found only in North America, and
haw become since, the source of so great a pow
er as that of the United States of America.”

Notice of New Publications.
We have before us several new works, and the

Review. All these new woiks, and the periodicals,
are to he had at the book More of Messrs. Richards
and Sloy.
North American Review. The July number is
very interesting; it contains several articles, ably
written, espicially the review of lire two works on
the history of the commonwealth of Kentucky, and
life and manners in the west. Another article is
very interesting,said to be written by Fanny Kemble,
now 3lrs. Butler, on the writings of Victor Hugo, a
celebtaied dramatic author. The other articles
are: Modern Latin; Slavic Popular Poetry; Lieber's
Reminiscence of Niebuhr; Heine’s Letters on

All these periodicals contain matter well deserving
the attention of the American render.
Among the new works, from the press of the Har

thor of-‘The South West.” Os this vv >rk the United
Slates Gazette says : The Harpers have published
an American Novel, in two volumes, entitled,
“Lafitte, the Pirate of the Gulf.” It is the produc
tion of Professor Ingraham, so favourably known as
the author of the “South West.” We have found
time to read only a part of this w >rk ; but a hasty
glance has shown us some admirable passages, and
we venture to express our opinion that the whole
will be found worthy the fame which the author has
acquired fom his previous writings.
Agnes Serle; a novel; by the well known author
of the Heiress: this work is from the press of Carey

THE PR ESI DENI IAL ELECTION.
The charges alleged again.-t Mr. Van Buren in the
South, have all been triumphantly -refutfd; and yet
certain presses continue to array them in their
columns, for the purpose of deceiving the unwary,
and those who may not have access to those papers
which are friendly to the claims of the republican
candidate for the presidency, and in which the false
hoods and deceptions of bis enemies are placed in a 1
conspicuous point of view. But why are those
charges brought forward at tliis time? Why was
not Air. Van Buren charged wilh tluin, while he
was a candidate for the Vice-Presidency? Why
were the nullifiers in Georgia silent then? If objec
tions now exist in the South, to tl»e election of that
gentleman to the Presidency, certainly live same oh
jections existed while he was a candidate for the Vice
Presidency. This circumstance is proof positive,
that the charges nowalieged agaiasrMr. Van Buren,
have no foundation, and cannot be sustained by truth.
The people of the South have too much sense and
intelligence, to ba led astray by the shallow artifices
of the enemies of the republican candidate; they will
give o unanimous vole in November for the republi
can electoral tickets.
But admitting that the charges alleged against .Mr.
Van Buren, are true; that he was opposed to the war;
that he was in favor of the Missouri restriction; that
he was a tariff man; and that he was in favor of
placing the blacks on a footing with the whites; can
any one have the hardihood to assert that lie entejk
tains at the present time the same opinions, and ll#
same principles? If he dues not, why then cheiM
him with sins, of which he has repented, it ever gap
ty of them? Why not lake Mr. Van Buren as h£
now, instead of taking him as he was many years aS
The nullifiers and whigs are vety charitable K
every body else except Sir. Van Buren; they pnS
Mr.Calboun, Mr.White,Gen. Harrison,and Mr.wll
ster, for what they now are, not for what they we%
hut they condemn Mr. Van Buren for what he wS
and not for what he is. This is not exact justice.**
Mr. Calhoun is now the Head Chief of the nullifiX
-o' - the State Rights Party. He i, considered ail
literal constructionist, a zealous opponent of the tariM
of exlrav.gant appropriation.*, of internal improvl
ment by the federal government, of the exercise J
power by the government hot expressly granted
the federal const it tit ion, and of other things whicll
enter into the creed of stale rights men. We bav3
no objection to Mr. Calhoun's being praised fur whall
he is now. But if the political sins he once coramit-1
led have been lorgiven, why should not the same im I
dulgencebe extended to .Mr. Van Buren, especially I
when the candid in the United States most ncknuw- I
ledge, that this gentleman was never guilty of th« *
elm ges alleged against ban?
.Mr. Calhoun Was a known and decided lalitndina
rian in principle He has been forgiven for this pa f
litical sin. He zealously advocated a liberal con
struction of the federal constitution He has beert
i forgiven for this p?rnic : ou» doc'rine He is the ori
ginator of s protective tariff, and of the system of
internal improvement then adopted by the govern
ihent. He has been forgiven for the injuries his re.
c >mmen l.alion have produced in the South. Heorigi
naled the extravagant expenditure ofthe public money
in the construction of fortifications, roads, &c. which
have been Continued to this day. He has been for
given for those witd and ruinous projects. He rs
| commended the formation of a splendid government,
instead of the simple end democr itic features of lbs
government established by a free and independent
people. He has also been forgiven f>r this recom
mendatitfU—tvhich, if ft had not been resisted, would
E hoveled to the establishment of an aristocratic nnd
I monarchical government. That Mr. Calhoun hai
been what We here allege against him, cannot bi
, denied; the history of the limes can be produced in
support of the allegations. But Mr. Calhoun hat
changed-, and his former principles have been forgot
r ten. If in former times .Mr. Van Buren has been
i guilty of a departure from the true republican princi
ples of the party to which he belonged, he cannot be
, forgiven, and Ins political delinquencies forgotten !
; Is .Mr. Calhoun more sincete in his change of princi
, pies than Mr. Van Buren, especially when it is known
. and notorious that this same Mr. Van Buren was
never guilty of the political delinquencies with which
, he is now charged by his enemies?
Mr. White has been a warm and zealous supporlrr
of the present federal administration. He supported
the “Proclamation” and the “Bloody Bill,” and'ha
sanctioned by his vote, all the measures adopted by
the administration for the prevention of a civil war
in the south, and the suppression of all intended
resistance to the laws of the land. Well; Mr. While
has been forgiven by the very men against whom
the measures of the administration were directed,
He has beenfurgivon by the nullifiers, who provoked
the issuing of the Proclamation and passing of the
Bloody Bill. Mr. While is the candidate for the
presidency of the very men whom he once consider*
ed as traitors to their country, nnd rebels to the laws
ofthe land. This gentleman has been forgiven, and
Mr. Van Buren must be denounced, and opposed, for
political sins which he never committed, and if ever
committed, have been atoned, ever since, by a life of
usefulness to his country, and by a devotion to the
best interests of the people of the United Stales, which
lie has truly exhibited in all the public stations he
has held
Whatever Mr. Van Bnr n has been, we must take
him as he is now ; and such a rule has been applied
to bis competitors for the presidency, nnd to other
di.-llngnislied citizens who, ol the present lime, exe I
much influence on the public mind. We know
whit Mr. Van Buren is ; we know the policy he is
pledged to pursue in the administration of tie gov
ernment, if elected to the presidency. This policy
will be in accordance wilh the political doctrines of
the great republican party. If any one of the other
candidates is elected, do we not know as well the
policy ha will pursue? Certainly we do, or we are
blind to passing events. If Mr. While or Gen. Har
rison is elected, to whom will he be indebted for the
election ? To the nullifiers and whigs. Will he be
bound to follow and to be guided by the principle*
of the parties which will have elected him? Cer
tainly. If so, he will be obliged to be a tariff man,
an internal improvement fnan, and a United State*
Bank man, to please the whigs ; and he will be ob
liged to be a nsllifier, to please the nullifiers of the
Calhoun school. Could the country prosper tinder
an adrrtmistratlon thus governed by such a policy T
We believe not. If we elect Sir. Van Buren, we
know what course he will pursue ; by the choice ot
one of the other candidates no uniformity in the
policy ofthe administration can be expectel j for the
amalgamation of whig principles, with the doctrine*
of notification, must produce a monstrosity in poli
tics, from which inevitable calamities will spring.
Before we close these remarks, we must express
our astonishment at the stand taken by the opposition
against Mr. Van Buren. In the south he is repre
sented as an nbohlionis', nnd in the north he is op
posed by the abolitionists, because he is averse to
abolition. In the south he is opposed by the nullifi
ers as being an advocate of the power in the federal
government to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia : and in th» north lie is represented as
d-nying the power in question. At one lime appeals
were made to the religious prejudices of the proles
lant sects, against him, asserting that he was a Ro
man Catholic. Now appeals are made to the Roman
Catholics, because Mr.Vnn Buren is not of that reli
gion. What conclusions can we draw from such con
tradictory charges, and incongruous assertions? Can
an opposition succeed, when actuated by such feel
ings. and governed by such principles ? Tiie means
employed by the opposition must turn against them
selves; they themselves insure the election of Mr.
Van Buren to the presidency, by the good sense and
intelligence of the American people
The Boston Riot.
On this disgraceful transaction, the Boston Atlas
! o 3d instant, uses the following language :
| “Th-* outrage committed on Monday in the Su
preme Cour t of the State, has excited the just indig
nation of « very citizen, who his any regard for the
dignity of our Judiciary, or the supremacy ofthe laws.
I We venture to say that this .pen violation of the
a met uary of Justice, has not its paralel in the annals
oi the city, and rather than such occurrences shouki
be frequent, it would be fir better to dispense with
courts altogether. Os whit benefit are public tribu
nals, unless th-y are respected hy the people, and
implicit obedience enforced? A lawless mob, led on
by those who ought to have known belter, has had
the effrontery to rush into our highest court, and
rescue prisoners in custody. The arm of the law
lias been paralyz’d ami its administrators have been
contemned. The subject is worthy of the prompt
altenti n of our citizens, and a public m m eting ought
immediately to he hel I, for the purpose «f expressing
\ the opinion >f the community on the subject, in terms
that cannot be misunderstood.
“The members of the bar owe it to themselves to
pass a vote of censure upon Sewall, for the indignity
h- offered the Chief Justice, and the disgrace that he
has brought upon the legal profession, by instigating
a mob oi negroes to perpetrate an id at which every
good member of society shudders.”
Abolitionism in Cincinnati.
In addition to the statement taken from the Rich
mond Enquirer, published in this day’s paper, we
have copied from the Cincinnati Whig, the following
particulars of the destruction by a mob of the printing
establishment of Birney and Pugh, editor and printer
of the Philanthropist, live abolition paper.
About nine o’clock on Saturday evening, be.
tween lour and five thousand people (as is sup.
posed} had assembled round the publication of
fice of the Abolition paper, edited by James G.
Birney, and printed by A. Pugh, at the north*
east corner ol Main and Seventh street*. In a
lew moments the types and printing material*
of that establishment were seen dashing oat of
the windows into the street, amid the cheer* of
