MR. KING OF GEORGIA.
( Continued.)
Mr K said In) was sorry in rso Ins Cnttnd*
who bad voted against tins Executive oioa-
FHrelltrouytKiUl, now emm >g Ibrvcard sancli
lymg an Executive Triumph over Hie lep'inla
tivu authority by nek lowtudjpr.g the r error.
Ilis worthy mend from Connecticut Itstl s"ul
that lliwujfU he bad voted uniformly against :t,
yet that it ‘ might have done tome goad in
caving tho banka,” Tina confession of his
friend was, perhaps, a harmless offering to
Exccu’ivo power; but a* bo did not approve
of such gratuitous benevolence at tlio cost of
congiatciicy, in a matter of such importance
to the country, be must say to bis friend that
he entirely disagreed vvilli him, and must call
upon himforeorne of the beneficial effects ol
thi* wiao end salutary measure. The Senator 1
himself told us in Ibo next breath that the do
posiic banks, and-a!) other banks, arc broken,
and I list tin* public money, both specie and!
paper, have become unavailable in I heir vaults.
The patient is dead, and yet ti.c treatment ib
landed. If a quack in defiance 61 ail icmon
etr.incc*, continues hie iruatmeni, and the pa
tient dies, we may conjecture lb at lie would I
have dune no heller wit bad tfereni lin'inonl,
or without trealineiil; but hue hit could hare
dime worse, it is somewhat difficult to con-.
reive. ’l'his measure, flien,Condemned by the
by the Cabinet, condemn
cd by the people, alter In I trial, condemned
by iho whole legislative Authority, nud con
demned by the strong evidences of tlio in; .- 1
chief it baa produced, is still persevered in by
the Executive, lauded for its ‘salivary effects,’!
end was referred to by one Senator (looking j
at Mr Benton) ns “the ever glorious specie
circular." [Mr. Benton. “Yes, the cvcrglo-i
nous specie circular.”] MrK, with great
animation. Ah, yev, u ;« all glory and no
good. Where arc the evidences of your glo- 1
ry 1 In there any thing glorious in the present 1
unhappy condition ol the country 7 Your I
Government insolvent and disgraced. Our;
people branded by foreigners as a nation ol;
fraudulent bankrupts and swindlers; your
merchants bankrupt; your inaiuifa'Jturers lan- 1
guiaiimg idleness and distress; your planters;
ruined, and two.thirds of ibo Itihtring popu- i
l<ilion of the IJniid States threatened with ac- ;
tual starvation. Tlieee are the evidences 01,
tlio “ salutary" effect sos the measures wo are
called on to glorify. Why, sir, the Senator |
must have forgoiton that glory lias deprecia
ted in the market. i.tko piper currency, it
has been redundant, and is now almost an
much below par, as rug money ; very nmcb I
forthusime reason, 100. On pxatnilialion, j
ive find that neither baa bad a very solid ba-.
sis to rest upon.
tin much (said Mr, King) for the glory of
tins order. I now propone to tako a more
dispassionate, and better reasoned view of it
as a financial measure.
The plain objection to tins circular a* a fi
nancial measure is, that it did violence to all;
tho luv* of trade And commorco by tin fur- j
ciblc interference «f the. Government. The i
easing operations of exchanges, m useful anil
necessary in adjusting ascertained balances
between dilferutil sections ol tlio country,
were suddenly and violently intonuptml. Tlio
nselul admoiiit’oii of sa unfavorable balance,
ax indicated by the exchanges, wsa not only
disregarded, hut that balance forcibly increa
sed. The dosltuitivo tendency of such inter
lerenco by Govuriunent m the commerce of
the country lias been acknowledged by tbu
Monitor from North Carolina (Mr iS'irange)
though 1 tliouglit Ibe principle might have
been better applied by film. Such measures
produce the sunn effects in tlio nuiiio way,
whenever and wherever applied in a hue
commercial country ; always taking the Peo
ple by surprise, and breaking up the establish
ed Order of things. Tho bus.tiers of (lie coun
try i. as elfecftully deranged and disorganized
by such violence »« is the human system by
the destruction oftbo heart.
Commerce has its laws. The People study
tllo T' , °"- lb y- '
ry great extent, an J unite their calculations
nml regulate their business accordingly.
They always must greatly sutler when forci
bly deprived of these advantages; mid par
ticularly if tho force bo applied to a paper or
mixed currency (though it lias some advanta
ges) are very groat. 1 do not know, in in my
respects, that they arc over estimated by the 1
Senator from Missouri. 1 hope bo, however,
nllor the most fatal experience to the eoun
try, will come to the conclusion that the evils !
of the system can only be readied by a lejiu-
It'i vo authority Pint rin reach the system it- j
self. It is acknowledged wo have no power |
over the system, and yet, by ties Executive j
latbingaud fruiting, and chastising, and tor
turing, wc keep t u country am) the currency ;
in a perpetual (ever and fluctuation, giving u j
all the evils of tlio system, without its advuti-'
lager. Mir, you might ne well undertake to j
make a full grown intellectual man, with trow
el ami mortar, and regulate the circulation of]
liia blood with a tinker's tools, us to undertake;
to make a tin form standard of value of a pa- 1
per nr mixed currency, and regulate Us fun,- |
t inns, as money, by the continual tlnl.tring.
ami tlio successive and sudden opplic tliuu of]
force by the iron band of Government. Sir,
yon can’t do it ; you have neither llio materi
als uortbc laws for such a cnntumtnaUonl
You may do infinite mischief, but you wil
never dn any good. You may break up busi
ness, ami rum the in lustrines classes, but you
.willdo no gaod to any class, except such as
know bow to profit by ciintiison, and speculate
on tho misfortunes of their fellow men.
fv Hu said that at the very time this, strange
order was issued, exchange was already ml-'
fi nontly high against the Mouilme.t ami;
West,To have piadsllie transmission of spe
cie a profitable operation. Tins was seen by
the Senate when they with such unanimity
refused to take the rctpousibdity ol the mea
sure. The effect, as sere > cn, was first to
raise tlio exchanges, and then break tire imp. 1
Why, sir, said bu, if tlio whole currency oh
tbe country bad been specie, any measure !
opposing liia force of Government t > the laws
of trade, the practical effect of which sli end
be to require tbe actual transmission of specie j
against the rate of exchange, w mid so hr doo- ' ,
ife ihq exchanges, upon a matbomatieaJ prill- j
ciple, by requiring two transits of specie in -1
stead of one. Mo true is the operation ol this j
principle, that even an arbitrary requisition 1
that tbe paper money alone of tho Atlantic!
seaboard should bo tece.ved for public lands !
would have produced a heavy effect upon tbe
exchanger, because in the exchanges it would \
have added to the wrong side of the account.!
But, sir, when wo come to the actual opera- 1
tion in question; when wo come not only to
take money from a point where it is due, ami
scud it to a point from which it is owing—to l
take it from the creditor and send n to llie
debtor, bit perform ibis rough and anti-coin- j
inerci il operation by taking an ay (In very ho
rns upon which flce-sixlhs of t-he currency re;.'*,]
you produce effects that can never be arith
metically calculated, and of which no ade- j
q rite conception eua be formed, except by
Witnessing the actual bum ;di-;
aioiy produced by the measure on the com-i
morels I seaboard, and those sections upon j
which the measure was intended lo operate.
Ao exact ratio would contract the whole cur-;
j-iiicy >« t iemoiey uniket, from which the]
sp ms is In ls drawn, in the proportion ini
which p iper is thus drawn, in the proportion'
in which piper i« based on - le ie, thereby

determining lu have some Ineiui* to the mea

dune injury 10 creditors, yet it win a greil
blessing lu the People ot lire West, 'i he*e
people, however, it scorns, arc not no coaity
gulled by these forced Wes»ngs, lor, a her a
1 inli trill of it, their representslives,with great
unanimity, voted lost session to repeal it.
The able speech ol ode of llictr representatives
■ (Mr. Walker) at the last session, expiamed
I to us the nature and operation ol tins blcs
: sin*', end the in-gislulurc of Ins iftiiP! had, by
> rchulnt on, unanimously sustained him. lie
' did not know how grateful Ins friend felt lor
J tl lose blessings (breed upon him by the Kxe-
I elitivc, and winch had coiitiibuiod ho largely
; to bankiupl ins cotlltluenls; hut for bimscll,
Mr. K. said (to use a ru tic phrase) he would
not like to be funnelled, even with champagne.
1 But what was its “luirpy tjj/.ct” upon the
i West and doulh. vest, whilst it ruined ttm sea
board! Was the debtor aided whilst tbe cured
; itor was oppressed! Not at all, sir. Whiis l
this specie was on the voyage of its exile,
1 and alter it readied the depo»ilebjnksr*o far
as llio commercial and planting Mi'.oreits WCr..
concerned, it might cs well have lx mi buried
; iu the middle ol the oa;;b, or carried back to
! tho mines of Mexico. Ihd it aid the mcr-
I chant iti paying his Northern and Eastern
1 debts! Nut it immediately increased tho cost
i to him ol sucli payment, i,y increasing the rale
of exchange, whilst, at the same time, it closed
| upon him all the usual resources of obtaining
' money. Thi* increase :n the rale of exchange
increased the danger of a demand upon the
| banks by tbe merchants, whilst they hud also
i to answer the demands of their bill-holders,
I who mi *hl want to puiehosc the public lands.
1 What Northern exchange they hud whs sum
j exhausted in reducing llieir circulation, whilst
; they could not prudent y do any business
thtit won d place their own issues in the hands
or the biisnie-eu part of tliu camnumiiy.—
I wgain.-t llio busnu'Hj part of the community
! loth merchants and planters,they were tuci
-1 doniy and effectually closed.’ TTiey could not
i nay out paper lor I';; rr specie would bo deinan
i iled for it, li>r llio reasons before named.—
I T hey could not pay out specie or discount for

1 see.ion hom which it had been unnaturally ex-
I tied. Tltuy cuuid not piy cut specie lo the
I planters, lor they u'.v. i the mercliants, and
I its dcetinatmn would have been the same.—
If, then, they did any business at all tlioy must
do it with llio purchasers us public lauds, in
which they wore secure of a return of Iho spe
cie (Icpositoa. Accordingly limy favored ibis
cla :s ol cumouicrs, in■ order to do any buai
j ness nt all, anil tho President himself, in bis
I Message, rotors lu llio circular operation by
which the/ contracted many millions of debt
upon alow miliums ol specie; and yot one
popular catcji lo recommend this measure has
been, that it waouimed at bind speculators !
The lucustno, -Mr. K, said, seemed to have
been attended with unmitigated mischief,
liven tbe sales nf public lands bad most pro
bable been meres <ed by it before the suspen
s.on of specie pay.-ieois. Tlioro was no oilier
way of accounting 1 Jor tlio heavy amount ol
llio-c mles, after tb s mania lor speculation
bad already begun 1" tlJclmo. Money be
came dear and dilliruU to Jirocure, and all
llio public binds in ni'irK*?t very much culled
and selected. The duptuile hanks in tho
new States bad been devoted it]most exclusi
vely to the use ofupeculalion.', i'« before sta
ted, and, moreover, a great nuLihur wore in
duced to go into the business, alter the adop
tion of the order, who ctherwiso would not
bavo thought of it. Ours, be ami, is an cn
torprising, speculative I‘ooph't and whenever
,«« W» ra rr nr r [ ’{ln > y iegiu i übiiikwb'u
can be made of it in a financial poi.°! view.
Accordingly, (lie impresaiun was vot_, ’ gener
al that [tins ino.ißiiro would greatly ,'lmvk
purcliawc-, and that llio monopoly of th-'' o
who would raise specie for the purpose woulu
be much more valuable than if no step bad
boon taken to destroy competition. Ho mud
| lie know of several himself, who collected
llieir capital, turned it into specie, and went
| into ibe business, who, but for tlio order, would
[ not have thought ol it. For those reasons,
j mi intelligent gentleman Horn tho west had
| given it to him ns tits opinion that the sales
j had been in i •!, increased by the operation of
ibo order-mid bo, (Mr. K.) believed it. It
them, it were so desirable lo cheek the sales
| ot the public lands, the object bed failed: even
! the President acknowledges, in the message,
] that the effect uflbc order in that particular
j bad boon over estimated. I tut this inis not
I the ntject nj the order. The object of the or-
I dc' was to prop up a few tottering deposits
I hanks, against Hr condoned but salutary op
• cration oj the distribution law, and a heavy
; exchange. The President or Ins advisers,
■ e.iw that some of the deposit? banks in the
West or Southwest bad expanded enormous-,
ly, and were in a precarious cotnlilioit, and |
exchange already suliioicully high lo endan
ger demands on them lor specie ; and be
leaved that, when asked also tor a portion ol
the public money, they would explode, and
give a triumph lo his enemies,by the failure ot,
hi* favorite experiment. Ho determined lo bus- 1
i tamtlieni at every hazard, utul without a eulll-'
eieiil/egird to the interests olTltc People. Did
llio succeed iu tli-s object.' No. On llio
| contrary, in this last gran i coup d'etat, or ra
; tlier, roup d'argenl, to sustain bis experiment,
! by succouring a few loitering pet banks, ho
j broke the whole ; ye*, sir, broke fta ivtioie ;
for, although 1 do not intend to attribute to
j this order in no importance than H deserves
; m bringing Ibccnnuhv into us present coudi
i lion, yet 1 have not tiitt remotest conceplimi 1
ilia* wo should have had a general mispensiou :
I of specie payments, and u national bankruptcy
; but lor the adaption of this order, lie rani,
i he b.’J.ci \t no could prove tins to ibe satisfac
tion of all who wouhl liston to the facts, mid
impartially uliiihuto lo liuman pas ian tu :
iittlural agency in stimulating human action.
Wbat then would probably have been the
condition of the country, it ibis measure bad
never been adopted 1 It was, before the adop-;
| lion ot tho order, in a diseased, bloated and 1
| feverish condition, entirely at the mercy ol
| our foreign creditors. Too B ink of England
; had already taken steps to prevent the further!
extension of our credits there, and by the ad
| vanee in the rate of interest bad stopped our
, nr.tlii drum upon llieir bullion, before or about
1 the time the order went into operation Tina;
: raised tho value of money on the seaboard,
where th * European d hi was owing. Cre
d.ts T.» \\ estern mid Southwestern banks, and I
> m ltvnluals, which had been greatly extended
| by Northern and Eastern banks,’ had been
I checked, and balances were expected to aid
|in adjusting ihe foreign debt. Tin debt, ev
j cry inteibgiuit merchant saw, must now press
I upon us lo a very considerable ox'ent. The
i foreign exchange would have press -d upon
llio seabord ; the seaboard would have press- ‘
e l upon llieir Western, Southern and South
western do'.t.irs. .Much of lb*l spee eot the
banks of this section would have gone back I
to the seaboard, from which it bad been taken
and gouo to Europe, from which it bid been
first borrowed. We shoe d have had a great
pressure, some bankruptcies among mer
chants, and many failures among speculator.-;;
many of whom, however, never bad i.ny;
thing, and therefore could lose nothing but
) tl.e.r credit. A great nUitlbet ot imprudent |
ii ■on.! ovf -vouiti eh a have »vidoded, its ■
I

i What sign.tied a few millions ol unavailable
funds, in a few imprudent doposite banks, |
- (even if tins nuasure hud saved loom, which I
r it bad not,) compared witli tiic miscihiet and |

i A-1 t:r, at any period in our history, did we so >
1 much need the jirisilege of making toe best £<f

; I I'rom the Constitutionalist.
, | Sun ate CuuniEa, Oct. 1837.
i l Dear Sir—Justice lo myself compels mo reluct
l ! unify to notice an article in tbs Constitutionalist
ii of the 3d lost. In that urlicleyou do me great
,: injuslicc. Vou assail me where lam mast son
. m; 1 vc—lint nt the same lime most invulnerable,
• , 1(1 liave any pride as a politician, il is llie pride
_ ! of consistency; if 1 have any claim to merit, it is
t an adherence to principles; if I have any benevo
. I lent virtue, it is lasting gratitude to rny friends,
. i and 1 wish no other distinction than that us an
r j honest devotion lo the interests ol rny cmulitu
, ! outs. My claims and pretensions being humble;
, ; I assert them witli ll o more resolution, ami hope
you will neither mistake my temper, or my object,
| if I call on you to retract to- prove some of the
’ | est irgcs you bring against me.
. j 1 usk then, w bat are “the great principles which
| tbe democratic parly profess,” which I have aban
[ | doned, and what “changes of sentiment” I bavo
- i undergone w hich place me “in opposition to that
1 parly,” or the "solemn declarations oftbo l.agis
- iaturd.” It imports that I should know this, tor
il is perfectly true that I “was twico elected by
- that p arly to the exalted station” 1 hold; and with
s the destiny of that parly 1 have united my own—
-1 and shall stand nr full with it. Hemiuding me
t of this generous confidence was gratuitous and
,• unnecessary. It can neither increase my grali
» lude, or add to my obligations, No one knows
better than you, sir, that if my honors were
3 unmerited, they wen; also unsolicited; and have
always been at the disposal of those, who so
generously conferred them.
Hut what “solemn declarations of the Logisla
r lure” have 1 disregarded! Do you refer to my
I uniform opinion on the subject of tho U. Stales
u llault! My opinions on that subject have never
been concealed or "changed,” and were well
I known to the Legislature at llie time they elected
I me. 8s were those of my then gifted colleague,
n whose opinions were iu accordance with my own.
What “change” then, have 1 undergone on ibis
subject, that merits your animadversion! 1 have
done nothing, further than to defend myself from
unmerited denunciations, and those too, frequent
ly from tho mere, popinjays of power, who most
*• miraculously "cbauged”jjlheir opinions. I am
j not yot a convert to the modern doctrine (of some
r democrats) of forcing blessings upon the people,
1 * * ■ ••• • - *l. .s.tsoi 1 ''-ala
■t at all calculated to alarm them on this subject,
• or which throws me "in opposition” to lUeau
- “solemn declarations.” fn what else have 1
k “recently taken a stand” iu opposition to the
c great principles of tbu democratic party? Is it
j | .uy opposition lo llie self willed follies of the
I Executive, adopted and persevered in against tho
I ai,. iost unanimous resistance of tho legislative
| autliv'tky of all parlies? The act which I most
condoil, neil was opposed in the body of which I
| am a me.nber, by a unanimous vole with the
exception o font. It bad no support in the cabi
| net before it v,'as adopted, and was afterwards,
. on trial, condoi’inej by the people; and again
’ i condemned with g, «at unanimity by llio whole
■ | legislative authority. M hut "change is there

1 horn our friends many written evidences, that |

i sir, that some of my friends are dismissed; and 1 ;
j wish it understood, that I shall nut embarrass |
them by being u candidate for rc-cloction. By '

lic.m, one of the most decided Van Buren papers '■
I in Maine, in explaining the “causes which pro- i
duccd the disastrous results of tl\» late election hi

principal causes of the mournful defeat. “The- '
radicalism of the times, the ultraanJ agrarian spir.!
il abroad, the lierce atlaeks on time-honored in
solutions, Ibo unrelenting war fart upon business
and laudable enterprise, the j»re vailing disposition

PARTIES IN GEORGIA. | fr
No Sta'c in the Union has perhaps been so 0 |
long distracted by politic* I parties of nearly equal i Cl
strength as Georgia. The first election of Gov
ernor by the [>eople was in 1825, when in the
memorable contest between Troup & Clark, the C
former was elected by a majority of 083 votes, at
1 which time there were 40,000 voles polled. In
I 1837 John Forsyth was elected without any ref;-
j ularly organized opposition, two candidates of
• the opposite party to Mr. T. having successively (
j died after their nomination and before lire cl.ac- I
I tion. These wore Matthew Talbot, and Col. (
Duncan, G. Campbell. In 1829 Mr. Gilmer
| was elected over ? >j. Crawford, both belonging I j
ito the Troup party, the Clark men generally ce.st- I
iingtheir votes in favor of Mr Gilmer. 1831
j Wilson Lumpkin, the candidate of the Clark (
! parly succeeded over Mr. Gilmer by 1500 votes, i
| and in 1833 the same gentleman V/aa again elec
ted over Mrij. Crawford by ’2.100 voles. In 1834 1
old party lines were pretty much broken down, a
number of the T roup partyjoining with the mass of ■
the Clark parly formed what has since been
known as the Union parly, and sustained the
administration of Gen. Jackson, while a smaller
number of Clark men joined with tho mass of the
Troup party and formed what has since been
termed the Slate Rights party, which opposed
that administration. The first struggle under
thia now organization of parlies resulted in the
success of the Union Congressional Ticket by
5000 majority, and a majority of about 80 in the
Legislature. In 1830, Guv. Schley the canihv,
date of tho Union parly, beat Judge Dougherty
8500 voles, and the parly had a majority of about
60 in the Lcgisla'ure. In 1838, the Union tick
et succeeded with one exception lor Congress, by
an average majority of about 1000, and a majori
ty of 40 in the Legislature. This year the State
Rights candidate for Governor is elected by about
750 majority, and the UnitJn patty has a majori
ty of 30 in the Legislature.
Such is a brief and general outline of tho his
tory of parties in Georgia, so far as results are
concerned, lor 12 years. The’regulls of the last
two elections, 1830 and 1837, were to some ex
tent inlluonced by questions connected with the
Presidential election and the administration of
Mr. Van Huron.

STEAM PACKET HOME
The constant and disgraceful impositions of
parties connected with the lilting out of Steam
IJn-.ts Us Naw V'utk, have assumed so fearful and
formidable a shape as to require public hues iga-
UOii, We in'.- —.r-.-fetf t:. .v.... - ..,ncr quarter
linric globe would the circumstances connected
with tho shipwreck of the Homo, remain without
Inquiry. We are hound to make this inquiry, by
all tho obligations of humanity, as a civilized
community,—as a people not dead to the sympa
thies of life, —as an expiation to tho agonized feel
ings of those connected with tho dead, —and as a
protection to the living, that they may not ho in
volved in a’similar catastrophe. It was a common
subject of remark, that the Homo on her first
voyage was an unsafe boat. Persons who saw
her on tho stocks at New York, have teen heard
to pronounce her unsafcfully constructed.
It is said that she was built by contract, under
direction of Mr. Allaire, olNcw York, by Brown
it Bell, of that city, first rate builders, and p
nouoced byjudges hi that city, too slibiit td «o
to ska; that her Engine was an old one, which
tho owner having no use for, detormineu'tb build
a boat iu which it could he placed, and turned to
profit—that her Engineer was the sane indivi

1 0 ‘V Dcraeock Bar, HER CAPTAIN BEING
fo’O jj#NT-OXICATED that her first officer,
Ijßr Lithows, [requested Capt. Salters to take
ohurgo *>l Ihe boat, —that she run on shore while
under command of Capt. Salters—-and that de
fect,vt tie . ‘'U* her construction, she could have
safely made hot' voyage, or even been run on
the beach u’urt ' I S~ daylight on Monday, and the
LIKE OK EVELZ I OX 110AUD SAVED.-
Lct the facts be inquired into—and let public in
dignation visit, if penal provisions cannot reach,
tho sordid wretches. —.’f those statements be true,
who would thus trifle w. tli human life, to put a
few dollars in their pockets.
The remark is sometimes tUade, that if parties
will hazard their lives in badly constructed or un
' safe vessels impelled by steam th ay have their own
i negligence to answer for any tint6ward results
that may occur, tut this is a /also view of the
subject. Many who take passage in steam ves
sels may never have an opportunity of gaining
I that knowledge which would be a p rotoclion to
them if acquired. Reports unfavourable to the
i character of a sloani vessel may ho in eh culatiun;
| but if she happens to perform one or two t.'ips, in
calm weather, with speed and safety, a I’utn
makes its appearance on her arrival in part, sign
ed by hei passengers, applauding her performance, j 1
recommending boras «|fiuo staunch sea boat, and
all doubts arc dispelled. In this way are hun- '
Jreds deluded to their destruction. Wo repeat
it, that the people should be aroused to action on ‘
tins subject, it their natural protectors against the
insensate cupidity of parlies thus engaged in a *
disgraceful career of [truth, the Legislature of the
country will not act The city of New York
owes it to her own character to make this inqui
ry as sitting as possible, and to devise some regu
lations by which tho headlong proclivity to gain
‘ in her citizens may be under some check'from
the law, if they arc insensible to tho common fee- 1
| lings of humanity.
From the Louisiana Advertiser Oct. 17. '
| Late rao.vt Mexico.—Yesterday,by tho arrival
lof the schooner Lodi, from Malamoras, we learn- ;
j ed that there are nearly 3,000 troops assembled
j there under Gen. Filosola,. represented as being '
in a most .wretched condition, entirety unprovi- 1
| ded with rations, clothing, dee.; many of them !
I nearly in a slate of nudity. Tocre were nu me- 1
tous desertions daily. The intended object of this
force is not known, it being kept in tire greatest .
i secrecy; but they are said to have a most decided
aversion to being led agiinst Texas. Some of i !
them go so tar as to openly state that tbey could
not he prevailed upon to march against her a;
any price.
file schooner Bonita had arrived at the bar of
Malamoras, from this port, previous to thosailinJS ;
of the L , bat could not get over, there being not ; :
sulli lent depth of water. The B. was reported to ; I
be the only vessel lying at Malamoras. \ c
TU Government had ordered 4000 troops to |
[ ii.semliliil at a pi—o called Pciola, about ,
rogues from Vera Uuztfor the purpose, it was ,t
,;.i, of attacking Gob. Santa Anns at hi* palace, - f
l.tchis situated between Perota and 4 era Cruz, .j
nl strongly fortified by him, he having a force la
( 600 men under his immediate command.
Tho.causo of sending those troops against

The dissolution of the Chamber of [Deputies
was to take place on tho Ist of October.
The preparations for the expedition against
Constantins were going rapidly forward.
A number. of suspect’:.! individuals had been
arrested at Romo. Tho precise cause of tho
arrest was ’“.ol known to the public. The cholera

Tho Carlist chief, Cabrera, had reappeared at
Vne head us a body of troops, in the vicinity of
Madrid.

Paris, Sept. 17.—The steamboat Tartarus,
12 days Lorn Tunis, brings intelligence that the
two French squadrons under Lalande and Gallo*
is, were together in that port, except the Suffrcin,
which had returned to Toulin, to aid in tho
transportation of troops. The Levant journals
announce that the Turkish squadron left the
Isles of tho Archipelago for Tripoli on the 19th
of Aug. This squadron had actually landed some
troops at Tripoli, and was supposed to have re
turned to Constantinople.
SPAIN —Telegraphic Despatch.
Bazoxxe, Sept. 14th.—Seven o’clock, P.jM.
—lriartc and Elibara united their forces on the
18th, at Puente do la Reyna, for the purpose of
making an attack.
We learn that the Carlists who retired at To
losa after the occupation of Ardaoin by O’Donuoll,
had received reinforcements, and meditated an
attack upon that town. Gen. O’Donnell, in the
meantime, was determined to maintain his posi
tion, and to this end was urging forward the.
.works of defence.
Madrid, Sept. 9.—The Perfect of Madrid has
discovered a Carlist conspiracy, to which the last
movements of Cabrera have given some impor
tance. Tho design of the conspirators was to set
fire to the powder of Barbara, and profiting by the
confusion caused by the explosion, liberate three
hundred rebels who are detained in the prison of
Suldcro, near the magazine of Santa Barbara.
At tlio date of the lust accounts, Don Carlos,
followed closely by Oraa, was in the Sietra d’
Albarracino, while the faction of Cabrera had in
terposed itself between Madrid and the army of
Bspartero, which occupied tire central point be
tween Don Curios and tho Arragoncse band. It
is said that General Esparlero has arrived in the
neighborhood of Cuenca, so that ho covers tho
capital.
If tho 5000 men who have gone off to Navarro;
wore here to reinforce the army, they could,at the
critical moment, decide tho victory. Tho re-ap.
pearance of the Carlists in the neighborhood of
the capital, has caused the authorities to redouble
their energies and watchfulness. No persort is
allowed to leave Madrid, and the authorities re
fuse to give passports.
Several arrests have taken (dace, but the princi
pal instigator of tho plot, known in France by
his connexion with lire attempts of the emigrants
in 1830 has made his escape from the millitaiy
prison in which ho was confined, and has gone
to join Don Carlos.
u. s. ship Independence —emperor
OF RUSSIA.
Cap! Richardssn, of brig Leonidas, from
Cronsladt, arrived at Boston, informs tho Messrs.
Topliff * from whom we havo this intelligence,)
that tho U. S. frigate Independence sailed from
Cronsladt on thb 13th of August. Being all
ready for soa and lire wind light, the Emperor
directed a boat, with an officer and boat’s crew,
to bo si*-I £ronu>v«rjr UuMinfi of \rni in tflC
Harbor, assist in towing lire frigate out; and Cap
tain Richardson says that she went out of the
harbor to in lino stylo, with a string of boats
nearly half a mile long in advance. The
Emperor’s attention to tho frigate and her officers
were unremitlcd, to the last moment of her stay
atJOronstadt; and it was remarked that no ship of
war, ol any nation, had even before been known
to receive such manifestations of good will in a
Russian harbor.

DIED
On Saturday, Slslinst. Maui Amelia, Infanl
daughter of A. W, &. Amelia Jackson, ol New
York, aged 4 months and 7 days.
Died, on the 17th inst., on the Sand Hills, at ,
the residence of her daughter, Mr*. Millcdgc,
after a protracted illness, Mrs. Ann Leaven
worth, aged 77 years. She was the only child
of Joseph Gusham, a native of Virginia, who
emigrated to Burke comily, this State, when she
was only four years old. Duiing the revolution
ary war, sho married Thomas Lamar, Esq., of
S. C., and was ever after a resident of that Slate,
in the vicinity of Augusta, fur the last eight
years of;her life she was an acceptable member of
the Baptist Church, and until her death walked
worthy of her profession. Mrs. Leavenworth’s
mind was fur above medriocrity—il was endowed
with a degree of strength and energy which did
not fail, though its tenement, the body, had be
come exhausted by disease and the infirmities of
old Jage. But these peculiar traits of character
which rendered her the object of love, affection
and respect, to ail who knew her, need not ho
repealed, because to strangers it wduld appear
a fulsome strain of panygeric, while on the minds
of her friends it could not engrave more deeply
than is already engraved, tho memory of iter
worth. M.
