RETUBNTOSPRCIBPAYMKNTM- 4
Tbtts Editor of the S. Y, Courier and Enquirer:
Sir: 1 think you I'or ilic very lavoramo
notice you hive liken of my mtmhers, though
I im satisfied you hive overrated them.
I commenced them became 1 saw no one
enter the lilt* with i >iew to show the tillacy
of attributing the evils of bad gniernmrnt, to
overtrading and speculation; when I »«
perfectly convinced, that tlie error of depend
ing upon the report of the Secretary of the
Treasuary for the true elate o( our trade had
given rise to the first allegation, and the
equally false belief that speculation was a
cause, and not an effect, .had been the source
of (he latter mistake. .
" TThtl l (tave had to say on these points, is
* before the public, and they will judge how far
. 1 have proved my positiu.is, that all wc suffer,
•/. arises from the mad acts of the general guv.,
eminent. It was not my intention to have
_ again presented myself to-my fellow citizens
" at this time, but I hive, since my last num
> ber was written, been put in possession of a
fact which I think of sufficient iinporiance,
to claim serious attention. I slate it upon nu
thorilv which 1 consider indisputable, it is this,
that the debt due to tbit City from the Cotton
Slates alone, is more (ban sufficient In pay the
Mercantile balance due by the Vailed Stales
to Europe.
This is surely a fact which speaks trumpet
tongued, as to the only measure that can pro
dace relief. This fact proves beyond all man
ner of question, the vast importance to us,
first, of sustaining aa far as belongs to ua the
. currency of England, and in the next place,
of an immediate regulation of our domestic
exchanges; and it brings out in strong relief
the importance of iho facta I have heretofore
stated, of the manner in which the acta of our
government by causing the importation of ten
millions of specie, destroyed the equilibrium
of the English currency, sud reduced the
pice of cotton from 30 to 50 per cent. And
how they annihilated our internol exchanges by
the * u ked manner of executing the provisions
of the Deposile Dill,and their unconstitutional
adherence to the Specie Circular, It also
shows as clearly aa any thing can bo shown,
the impolicy ol any attempt si this tnnniu
create a National 1J ink. It calls loudly up
on Congress to make use ot the only means
within their power, of at once restoring our
credit in Europe, and reinstating our domes
tic excliaiiges, hy a proper contact with the
Peimnylvan a Dank of the United Stale*, Ihe
only institution in the country with sufficient
capital and oTablished credit at home and
nb m id, and whose situation will enable her
Intake die measures necessary to produce a
resumption of specie payments, hy mailing a
currency that will at once ho at par all over
the Union. Those who are hostile to the
United Bute* Dank ol I’unnsylvania, may
vent tiieir spleen by abusing it us much as they
please, they cannot "rave the seal from off
disbud"—if that Dank is not employed to
'reittwste the currency, it will yet be years, be
fore wc dli.tll return to specie payments.
Let dr tum'licm brethren think deeply on
fins subjec', lor the smith and southwestern
M'ates are the portion of tins Union most
deeply line esled m our relations will Europe

Now, our whole domestic exports for the
name period were 8107,910,689, so that Cotv
lon, Rice and Tubacco, constituted more than
89 per cent of our domestic exports—and it is
very well known that Europe is the great
market in which they are sold. Surely the
Booth and Southwest should be greatly alarm
ed at the present aspect of their affairs. They
should read the government papers and (hen
(liby will see that the whole burthen id the
song is, how the Treasury is to manage tu re
and disburse the public lunds. Thu
men in power, it would really appear, cure
nothing about the trade ofthu country—their
grand object is, to cuntrive some mode of
managing tbe Treasury so as tu bring its
whole influence of sustain them in power*-
I ask any of my readers who deiiht this to
look, at 'the columns ol the Globe, and nil the
other papers devoted tu the sustainment of
the Administration, and they will assuredly
find /hat the true interests ot the people form
tia.partof the many schemes they are devis
ing. The slang new is that the Treasury
must be kept clear ot all Banks and the Dunks
must be left to the Merchants and Traders.
One of the idiom is is, as I have before
staled, to make the receivers of the public
money lliu payers of the public debts. To
cretrtemple and more dependent* upon the
Kxo uiiyo. Another is, to make Ihe Mint
and Branch Mints the places of deposit and
.payment ofthu public funds. A third is, to
farm out Um receipts and payments to a com.
vany-of individuals, who are to give security
in real estate to double the amount, to be re
ceived. But not one word ia thought of, or
«aid, a* tu hyw these measures will effect the
great iritcrosts iff the people. Tire growth
oftb.o great western and southwestern regions
—the Internal Improvement of these Slates
that are already settled—the internal trade
of the different sections—which is immense
—aud lastly, notone word about onr foreign
trade. It is true they have at Washington
becomefcumewhat alarmed, as to the distract
ed statu of “the party," and the Globe has
turnoff' a summerset, admitting now that
"banks cannot be dispensed with," hut there
•the matter-ends—end there it will end—unless
the people through the presses and through
(heir (numbers ol Congress, shall speak out in
a language not tu be misunderstood. For if
the great andJeading interests of the union
arc to bo neglected, and the whole energy of
the Administration is to bo directed to devise
• plan by w bich the money is to be collected
end paid out to office holders—then have we
indeed arrived at great achievements in self
government.
There is yet another scheme which I think
ifMiblic attention should be seriously called to,
• and that • a plan which that grand schemer,
Amos Kendall, has put forth, by winch he
would convert the Post Office department in
to an Exchange Dank, for the transmission of
«wall sums from unu point to another’ The
Treasury department is to bo taken from all
Hanks and to be created into one B ink, and
the Past Office into another! The number of
dependents upon these Iwo departments is
to be doubled, fur the purpose of bringing
laborers into tlm political field, while the
great internal mid ex ernal exchange—the
nnmen -e borne and foreign trade of die coun
try-—oa well ss the currency, are to bo depriv
ed of every advantage tbe public icveime has
heretofore give* to them.
Power is dengeroo* in the hands of al! oth
ers but those who now passes* it, is the max
im of Urn -Washington cabal w.io govern
the anthoMof the letter to Sherrod Williams,
end in enter (0 obtain it they play their old
and long practised game of attempting to gull
the people, by pretending that it is to simplify
the concerns of the nation.
But this time, they will I frost hi- rfiisttken;
the mere acknowledgment by the Globe that
Banks cannot be dispensed with, will not g*.
tisfy a people ruined by the most absurd and
wicked mo#sures,'to which thegro-sest msuh

Fucardin’r Town, September 27.
" Wc passed the entire day at the Marriage
1 of Greek girl. The ceremony began with a
0 long procession of Grecian, Arabian, and My.
* nan women, who came some on horseback,
1} others on loot, through the paths bordered hy
" aloe and mulberry trees, to attend the affian
-1 ced during this la iguing day. For many
r days and many nights, already, a certain num
ber ol these female* have never 101 l the house
? of llubib, and have not ceased lo utter cries,
songs, and shrill ami prolonged groans, like
I those vocal shouts which the villtageiirs and
hay makers pour forth in our own France dur

1 There n table was placed in the European
style, covered with u multitude of prevented

1 first time, of her to whom he united his exis

f covered"lu-r cheeks, u paleness rendered more
1 striking hy the reflections of the red veil, and
1 the innumerable ornaments of gold, silver,
‘ pearls, and diamonds with which she wa*
' loaded, and by the long tresses of black hair
! which fell, m every direction, over her person
’. Her eye-brows, painted black, os also her
1 lashes and the borders of her eyes, her hands,
1 with the oxtrumil.es of the fingers and the
nails, stained red with the henna, and painted
1 with squares and rnoresquo designs, all gave
to this fascinating beauty a tone of novelty
1 and solemnity for us, with which we were
profoundly impressed. Her husband had
1 scarcely time lo regard her. Ho appeared
overcome and expiring himself with the weight
' of his watchings and fatigues, by means of
1 which the barbarous customs exhaust the
strength ot even love itself The bishop re
ceived from the hands of one of Ins priests it
crown of natural flowers, placed it on the head
J of the girl, look it off again, placed it on the
; hair of the young man, look it again to replace
* it on the vod ut the bride, ami thus passed
it several times from Ihe head to the other.
1 Rings were likewise, by turns, put on the lin
gers of each. They then broke the same
pieces of bread; they drank the consecrated
wine front iliosame cup. After which the fe
r male friends carried off the bride lo the apart*
' monts, whcic the women alone wore allowed
1 tu follow, in order to chan e her toilet. The
’ father and the friends of the husband, led him
' also away, on their side, into the garden, and
they made hint sit down at the toot of u tree
surrounded by all the males of his family
The musicians and dancers (lien arrived, and
1 continued, until the sun had set their, barbaric
symphonies, their shrill cries, and their con
* turnons around the young man, who had lal
1 len to sleep at Ihe base of the tree, and whom
B his friends in vain aroused every instant.
“ When night had arrived, lie was conducted
1 alone, to the dwelling of Ins father Eight'
J. days must elapse before permission is given
1 to the groom to go and lake his wife and car
'. ry her home with him.
1 The women who filled Habib's house with
: their shrieks, left likewise, a litlie later. No
thing could have been more piclurtsquc than
'! ! tins immense procession of women and girls,
in the strangest and most splendid costumes,
covered with sparkling stones, each one sur*
I rounded with their maids, and slaves bearing
I I torches of resmous fire to light their read, and
’ prolonging in tins manner their luminous
: course, amid the long and narrow pathways
j, shaded hy aloe and orange trees, on the banks
of the sea, at times in long silence, at others
| uttering cries which wore echoed even on the
waves, or amid the plane groves at the loot of
. Mount Libauus. We entered our own dwell
ing near the country seatofHnbib, where we
* yet heard the murmur of the conversation
among tbe women of the family: we ascended
onr terrace, and we followed, for a long tint ',
1 with the eye, those wandering fires wlpch cir
culated on all sides amidst the trees of the
plain. J. C. B.

A Tuck Story.—The following story of

1 V. (Ta.) Recorder, and the fact which it re
cords, occurred in a neighboring county, be.
trend the Susquohannah. The way this beau
tiful and sprightly heiress treated tier fortune
hunting lover, should be a ‘caution, to the
whole order:
Love anii Prviiencc —A young gentle
man who vas desi.ious of entering the holy
state of matrimony and had turned his attention
to the gilded beauties of the day—selected «l
. length, for particular address a young lady
who was reported rich ns well in the matter
•lucre’ ns m mental and personal accomplish-
J incuts. He felt the charm of Ins fair one
stealing over his senses a witching spell upon ,
i his faculties. But he m anted to make as*ur-1
I amte doubly Rare, arm to tew- t.o'.aop \ f.’-.v I
v.
°n to hanp a doubt touching the wordly po»-
■caaions of Ins beloved. Fame, it ia true, ha*
•poken her weahhy—but Fame h»a a cmH
fashion of exaggeration Hi the#-* mailers. In
a word it the truth must be told, our lover
was not so madly in love but he was able to
preserve some method in it. And before the
glur.ou* passion had reached its crisis, he had
(he singular prudence to examine records —
and lo ohiam an exact knowledge of the
wealth of Ins charmer'. How happy was tie
to find that her estate was clear and for once
even more valuable than rumor had ptoclaim
ed it.
Fly ng then on the wings of love, to the
dwelling of bis fair one—in good set phrase
ho declared his affection for her —made..* len
der of Ins heart and hand—and besought lier
lo tinlla upon his passion, and make him Imp
py. But the ‘flailtering tale' of hope was not
to be realized. The star of our lover’s happy
fortune had, alas! not yet cast Hs silver above
the liurnzon! Uy some means, it hsppeued
ihe young lady had been apprised of the ex
tent of her lover’s curiosity—and in 'he midst
of hia descant upon flamer, & darts, and Cupid
—she very composedly drew from her rilicute
a small piece of money, snd approaching him
made this reply—“ Although I miv profit by
your very favourable sentiments towards me,
• still I cannot think of yohr being a looser on
my account. As you have been at the ex
i pensuofa search, I must insist on being a).
lowed to replace the amount unexpended.”—
' 80 anying she put an eight penny piece in her
lover’s hand and he—went Ins way.

ffj'We call the attention of our readers, and
especially merchants in the interior, to the extract
from the Constitutionalist, by which it will he
seen that the Georgia and Carolina Almanack for
1838 is ready for sale at that office. Those who
remember how soon the edition of last year was
disposed of, will do well to make application early.
A copy of the Almanac is before us, neatly and
plainly printed, and containing as usual n great
quantity of useful and inlercsling matter. Every
family in the country should have an alma iac.
Misrepresentation, and chicanery on a small
scale, absolutely seems to hetho business of some
lof out opponents, Not aspiring to convince the
intelligent by sound argument and solid reason,
they appeal to all the lower passions of the igno
rant and unlearned, and it is not uncommon lo
see them, in their great anxiety to enlist every
prejudice on their side, involve themselves in the
grossest absurdities and inconsistencies. The
following exquisite specimen of this clap-trap sys
tem of deception, forms a standing article ut the
ediloiiel head of the Standard of Union.
“TAW who are opposed to the United States
Bank —to Shin Flatten—to lluniel ll'ebuter,
: the Ultra Federalist and Abolitionist—lo the
Compromise Tariff, anil lo a dieeolution of the
Union, will vote for the Union candidate
SCHLEY.
Let our readers scan and dissect this paragraph
limb by limb. Those opposed to the United
Slates Dank ore called upon lo vote for a man
who, for lificen years maintained both the con
stitutionality and expediency of that institution,
and only changed his ground when the great Ro
derick Uhu of his clan, having whistled the “right
about face" signal, he performed the evolution,
with all the promptitude of a faithful follower,and
all ihe exactness as to "lime and position” of a
well trained clanaman.
AH those opposed lo ahin plaislurs, are called
upon to vote for a man who has sustained every
mud act of that administration whose policy and
measures have ruined one of the treat currencies
dial any countiy aver yet {rosteaaed, and flooded
the Union with the very shin plaistera which are
deprecated.
All those opposed to l)anl. Webster and Fed
eralism arc called upon to vole for a man who lias
been proven to have been all his life a Federalist
end who admits that if not a Federalist “in the
vulgar acceptation of the term," he was at least a
Federalist in the generally understood sense of the
word.
Those opposed to Ihe tariff and a dissolution
of the Union, are called upon—no, not called
upon—the falsehood and folly of the article arc
only equalled by its audacity, in assetlii g posi
tively, that those who arc opposed to all these
things, WILL vole for Schley! Most astute,
learned and sagacious historian, who reads the
thoughts, and chronicles the deeds of men before
they are consummated! Wc were under the
impression that we did know a Jew men, w ho are
op|HJsed to all, or the most of these things, who
intended lo vole for Gilmer, snd regret very much
to find that we shall he mistaken. This regret is
very much heightened, too, on our own account,
for we had fully and firmly resolved to vole for
Gilmer, and feel much chagrined and disappoint
ed that it is our recorded destiny to vote fo r
Schley!
How will the people of Greene and Burke and
Elbert and Taliafern, and a few more such coun
ties, feel when they find that they 100 “will vole
for Schley?'' Will they not tend their garments
aud clothe themselves in sack cloth and ashes?

' Washinoton, Aug. Blh, 1837.
I President Van Buren has already given proof,
. at his country residence in this neighborhood, ol
the brilliancy with which be intends to play the
part of President in society. He has made his
retreat the attraction of all the fair dames, and
’ blooming maidens who yet linger in the metropo
lis, or about it; and of course brought with them
. all the masculine gender who arc devoted to beau
liful and accomplished women, or who are ac
-1 costomed to partake of the pleasures of the hour
. without reference to the political complexion of
.hjm who provides them. Sonic blockheads, who
are ever reminding "the author of the letter to
Sherrod Williams” that he is pledged lo follow
in the so otsteps of his predecessor, calls his place
of rustication “the Hr.itMiTAnK.” Van smiles
at the conceit; but, as the lime is not quite arriv
ed for renouncing the superstition of Jacksonism,
he makes no open objection lo the name. The
next session will be m.vkod by more than ordina
i ry gayety, as well as by to ore than the usual in
i terest. The head of the so oalled demociats got
. a taste of high life m England, end is determined
1 to show the representatives of roj'ahy congrega
t led hero, that he can keep up “the decent splen
dor of the Throne," as well as any ot itseir royal
masters Let the beauteous maidens of ll.e south
I therefore, who look forward to a visit to W ash
. inglon, and whose hopes and wishes are hound- I
. ing gayly and eagerly forward into the yet untried
( field of enjoyment and delights, try, by all means,
. to come during the extra session. Under the new
, regime things will he carried on with far more
r splendor than over illustrated the presidency of
. Madison, Adams, or Jackson, thanks to the de
, mj£j-atic President!!!
I It is rumored that the clever, pleasure-loving,
, and businesa-detesting person, whom your State
gave to the department of Stale, will not much
, longer be requited lo preside over that office. In
, the Senate Mr. Forsyth was great at nothing
r but making sharp, scornful, and somewhat ill
■ nalured speeches, which the partial fair would
frequently laugh at and call witiy and wicked.—
, He was always ado nothing. Mr. Van Buren
I finds him so; and nothing hut his strong personal
, liking and friendship would have induced him
. to keep the Georgian where ho is so long. He
would fain get rid of him, and it is now believed
that Mr. F. has been induced to yield Ms pride,
t and will exchange his present post fora foreign
, mission, Vienna will suit him—but Turkey
I would do better still! Van Buren, it is no secret
( also wishes Woudlmty to decamp, and let his
place he filled by a man of some clearness of head'
1 The Secretary of the Treasury knows nothing of
finance. His dull faculties are utterly incapable
| of extricating him/rom any troubles of a financial
, character, in which, not vilhstnnding, he is con
| linually, by his recklessness and folly involving
> himself. The best thing that can be done is lo
send him to gratify his vigorous appetite at the
. court of some Epicurean Piitice. He is a famous
s Jrenfherjpaui.f
t "T heard to-day an instance of must unwarranta.
, hie interference by an officer of government, with
( the private concerns of an individual, who is so
. unlucky as to hold a situation under him. A
clerk bowed down with debt, told his creditors
, that he found it impossible to meet his engage-
I meets, and the absolute wants ofhis family! One
, of the creditors waited on tr.c Secretary in whose
office the debtor was a clerk, and ho wrote on the
8 bill, “Mr. Van Buren having pledged himself .o
, follow nut the principles of his predecessor, Mr.
b is directed lo settle the within, or he dis.
b mitred from office!!” General Jackson having
b declared that no man who did not pay his debts

l The greatest interest is fell here now on the
s subject of the elections. It has been made abun
, dantly manifest in the couise of them, that the
r democratic parly mean lo retain their power by
- the same means and influence which elevated
r Mr. Van Buren to the Chief Magistracy. They
have indeed improved on the spoils principle.—
1 It has been .he established doctrine and practice
• for the last eight years, that public officers and
* agents should hold office only so long as they con
s formed their political opinions and votes lo the
will of the appointing power. But they have
gone farther now; and the Van Buren candidates
- are boldly recommended to the suffrages of the
the people on the ground that they will obtain
j more favors from the government, than the whig
, candidates con procure. There cannot be a more
. palpable violation of the purity and indepen
’ den-c of the elective franchise. And yet wo talk
' of freedom of elections!! M.

From the If. r. Com. Adt
Lord John Rusaell issued an address lo his
constituents of Stroud, on the 291 h of June, de
daring his intention again to present himsclt be
fore them as a candidate for that borough. In it
bis lordship declares that the Queen has been
pleased to continue the administration of public
afiair* in Ihe hand* ol Lord Melbourne and his
colleagues, and that they shall continue to urge
on the measure* brought forward by them during
the late Kmg’* reign.
The Duke of Wellington, on the night of Hie
29th. addressed the House on the subject of Irish
affair*, and made some very important admissions. ,
The Duke c. deluded by a qualified promise that j
at the next session he would co-operate with •
Lord Melbourne,in effecting a settlement of the j
three great questions connected with that portion i
of the British empire, namely, the poor-law sys
tem, the tithe question, and the corporation re- ;
form.
We give the Duke’s remarks, with the corn- j
merit of the London Globe :
“Hi* sincere wish and desire was to see n
conclusion put in parliament to all these ques- j
lions.—Fir t, in importance, came the Irish tithe j
bill, which originated seven years ago. Hewish
to see a settlement of that great and important
question. He also wished to see a provision cs- |
rablished for the relief of the poor in Ireland ; I
and he must say also that he would be perfectly
ready lo concur in tire establishment of municipal
corporations for Ireland on a representative prin
ciple, whenever a satisfactory arrangement had;
been come to on the subject matter of those two
hills. His wish was that parliament should not
have a contest every year on these questions. He
concurred in the propriety of putting oft'the con
sideration oflhem for the present session, and he
had only to add, that if, in the next session, he
and the noble viscount anoulil occupy the relative
positions which they now did, he should he per*
fcctly ready lo concur on all these subjects in ar.y
reasonable manner which the noble viscount
might propose.”
From the Olohc.
The electors may be assured that if the present j
election terminates—as there is every reason lo j
believe it will—in favor of the present adminislta- j
lion, the Lords will be disposad to cease their
factious opposition. When the Duke of Wel
lington says that if he and Lord Melbourne should j
next session occupy the same relative position as
at present—that is, if ministers are in a majority
in the House of Commons —ho shall be perfect- j
ly ready lo concur in any reasonable mede pro- ,
posed by Lord Melbourne for the settlement of j
these subjects, he expresses no more than the j
prevalent lecling of the party, that it this election
bo lost, their prospects are hopeless. T rrre
would he no further use in any sac tious opposi
lion. Parly hostility would he fruitless, and the
only course open to the Lords would be lo resume
their natural and useful func tons as a second
chamber, for the purpose of revising and perfect
ing the measures proposed by the Commons, in
accordance with the prevailing sentiments of the
nation.
Sir Frances Burdelt has declined a re-election
for Westminster, on account ofhis age and infirm
ities, Gen. Evans and Mr Leader are again pro*
posed as candidates. Mr. Leader was the unsuc
cessful opponent of Sir Frances in the late clcc
tion.
The indications arc certainly in favor of the opi
nion that the Queen will not withdraw her coun
tenance from the whigs. Among these indica
ticns.wc notice the investiture of Lord Durham as
a grand cross of the military order of the Bath,and
the appu'ntment of the marchionesses of Lana
downu and Tavistock lo offices in the royal house
hold. The Marquis o.° Tavistock is elder broth
er of Lord John Russell.
An anecdote is related oi !he young Queen,
which does honor to her kindly feelings. Among
her first visitors, after her accessior. was her late
preceptress, the Duchess of Northunib.n land. Be
ing informed that etiquette required her Jo receive
the Duchess sitting,the Queen appeared some ' hat
annoyed, but acquiesced in the propriety of ad
hering to the when the Duchess entered
however, the Queen’s affectionate impulses pre
vailed, and she rose and running to the Duch
ess, threw her arms around her neck and kissed
her very fondly.
The King’s funeral was to take place on the
Bth of July.
The dissolution of Parliament was expected to
lake place on or about the 20thof July.
Lord Mulgrave issued his proclamation on the
241 h of June, forbidding Orange processions on
the Ist and 12lh ot July.
By an explosion of fire-damp in the Blaana
coalpit, Monmouthshire, thirteen men and three
horses were killed.
The London papers of the 30th June, announce
the marriage of T. D. Rice, Esq. ( Jim Crow ) on
Ike previous day, to Miss Gladstane, daughter of
J. Gladstane, Esq. proprietor of the Adelphi
Theatre.
A fire broke out in Ihe cotton ware houses of
Mr. Byrde, fronting the basin of the Prince’s
Dock, Liverpool, on the evening of the 28th of
June. It was still burning at the time of the
rnorr.ing papers of the 291 h going to press. A
considerable quantity of cotton is said to have
been destroyed.
From the Morning Fast.
We learn that a gentleman named Dixwcll,
who came passenger in one of the packets lately
arrived from the United Slates has to-day had an
interview wi h the bank directors, as the repre
sentative of the leading merchants at Boston, the
purpose of his visit being to assure them of
the great anxiety of that community to square ac
counts with their creditors here, the moment that
the American money market shall have become
sulfi iently settled to enable them lodo so. The
proceedings of the Boston merchants on this oc
casion tlo them much honor, and they may be at
all events taken as an earnest of their good inlcn
lions. "Tlic communications made by Mr. Dix
well have accordingly hail a favourable effect.
From the London Herald, of June 29.
Yesterday was married, at St. John’s church,
Westminster, Thomas D. Rice, Esq., the popu
lar American comedian, to Miss Gladstone, eld
est daughter of Gladstane, Esq., joint pro
prietor of the Theatre Royal, Adelphi, After
partaking, with numerous friends, of an elegant
dejeuner, at the residence of the bride’s father, lire
happy couple left town for a villa in the vicinity
of Richmond, where they will remain during the
short remaining period of Mr. Rico’s professional
engagements in London.
England tet without a Sovereign-Ab
solute.—ln consequence of the saving clause
in the proclamation announcing Victoria’s acces
sion, i. e. providing for the contingency ofan heir
by the Dowager Queen Adelaide, widow of Wm.
IV. Ihe coronation of the young princess cannot
take place till that question is settled. The ven
erable lady Adelaide until that moment will he
no doubt closely watched.—How the affair will
terminate can easily he imagined.
GRoECE.
Le Courier Francais has the following:—We
have received from Athens the follwing letter, da
ted Ist June. After a struggle more silent than
pronounced, and in spite of the numerous pro
mises made by M. Rudhart to M. de Lagreene,
the Russian party have at length decidedly the
upper hand. All Ihe measures to which Fiance
was opposed, are either signed or decided upon,
and the perseculionof the patriots has commen
ced.
This result is mainly owing to the English,
whoso despotism has become insupportable lo all
the Greeks, and has made many of them turn
lo the Russian agent, and caused his policy to
preponderate, upheld as it is besides by the
court of Bavaria, This revolution is disastrous,
her finances,instead of meliorating, will go to ruin,
for it is impossible for them lo go on without
France and England, or at least one of these pow-
This is the more unforunnate because the
King is desirous of, and employs himsell much
in endeavoring to Uo good. The young Queen
likes the Greeks, and is much beloved by them.

IN conformity to a resolution adopted at a meeting j
of the Stockholders ol tin | Vaticlurs Manufactur- I

Terms— One fourth cash, nnd the remainder on a I
credit of one, two and three years, in equal instal 9
mcnls; the purchaser giving personal security, and
a mortgage on the premises.
It is confidently believed that no similar establish- I
mem in the Southern Stater combines so many ad
vantages. Situated on a bold and rapid stream run
ning amidst sand hills, it is entirely exempt from
the fever's ol I lie country ’i’ho supply of water, at
all seasons of the year, is sufficient to impel ten
times the existing machinery. The house is lUO
feet long, forty wide, nod five stories high; built «f J
solid granite, of w hich there is an inexhaustible
quarry in thirty yards of it. There are in operation WT
JOSC throstles,fiOU mule spindles, 12U wool spindles,
30 looms, two dressers, and uil the other machinery !
requisite to keep these in motion. The tract of land 'G
contains 1200 acres, abounding in the finest kind of
pine timber, with several fine springs of pure w ater,
unequalled in the Slate, and there is a saw mill upon i
it, capable ol supplying all the wants of the com- |
pany in extending their buildings; also a gristmill.
Vuucluse is 14 miles from Augusta, Ga., 0 miles H
from Aiken, S. C., It) miles from Edgefield Court I
