is to be immediately placed at the disposal of
his lordship, to be expended by him in what-
ever way he may think lnost advisable for the
.successful prosecution of the war with the
Turks. ,His Lordship had left town for Scot-
land, whence he would return and inrluedi-
ately proceed to Greece. It is further said,
that a militai'y force of 8,500 men was to be
procured and placed under the command of
Sir Robert VVilson, to act in co-operation
with lns Lordship. His Lordship has left it
to the coilimittee to settle the amount of the

house in the Strand had purchased thro’ their

Greeks ofthe Morea had been defeated, that
the Turks imnlediately advanced on Misso-
loiiglii and Napoli di Roinaliia, alld that the
inhabitants, to prevent a niassacre,hoisted the
English flag, on seeing which, the Turks sus-

says—-From Mr. 81. Mrs.Judson and Dr.Price,

parture of Lord Cocllrane. Itis said that on
being ordered by the Emperor, to repair to
Rio, he declined the honour of obeying his
master, shipped a quantity of Cotton at Ma-
ranllain and made his escape in a frigate. In
consequence ofthis concluct,the Emperor had
struck his name from tlle Brazilian navy, and
deprived him of his newly. acquired titles,sucll

HAYTI.—A London paper contains a letter
froura British rnerchallt stating that he was
authorised to communicate with his IVI2ljP.sty’s
ministers on some questions which he speci-
fies, relative to the disposition of Great Brit-
ain with regard to 'tlle question ofthe ilide
pendence of Hayti—and that, in consequenc-
es of Mr. Canning refusing him an answer,
the duties on British imports are now 19. per
cent. while those of France, in consequence
of her late amicable adjustment, are only 5
per cent. ; and that ifEngland persist the du-
ties may be still further increased.’

Invasion of Citbu.—A New Orleans paper
states, on tlleautliority ofa gentleman from
Mexico, that preparations are making to iri-
vade Cuba. Three thousand troops were
collected at Canrpeachy, and one thousand
liior-ewere expected. The late Spanish fri-
gate Asia is to be put under the command of
Capt. Coclrraue, and‘all the other disposable
naval force is intended for the same service.

S’-BEAM -NAVIGATION‘. To 'EURot§E-.
.We'publ_ished yesterday ‘extracts from two
letters which renderjt almost c_e_rtai_n that
"the project for a steam’ comlnunicatiorr be-
tween. Europe and America, by W8)’ °fL°"'
don, Valentia in Ireland, Halifax, and New-
York, will be carried into effect early the next
season. The distanbe from Valentia,the m_ost
westerly port in Europe, to Halifax, isabout
2400 miles._ From_ Ii'0fl(IO_I.l't0.V3Ie.ntI?l, ‘by
way of Bristol and Cork, is about 450 miles,
by way ofliiverpool ahd .Dubliu 520, and by
the British Channel 700. From Halilirx to
Boston is 440 miles, .and to New York 650.
The course from Halifax to New York, tliro’
Boston, is almost ill a-right line, and is some-
thing nearer than the most direct course by
water. It is computed that ._the passage by
steam navigation from Valenti‘?! to Halifax
will not exceed 14 days,__and'it will probably
be accomplished in a shorter. time; .fr.’Lon-
don to Valentia, by way of Bristol, a little
‘more than 92 days ;froln Halifax to NewYork
in 3 days, and from Halilax‘.to,Boston in two
days ; making for the whole passage 3300
miles, fr. London. to Boston, 18 days at lnost,
and for favourable passages, 16 days. The
passage to New York being 210 miles longer,
will require one day more.

The Directors of the Company in London
have published a pamphlet settinggifortll the
nature, practicability, and advigtages of the
undertaking. ‘ They refer to re principal
seas where steam navigation has been stic-
cessfully employed, for practical proof, that
it is equally adapted to the open, sea as to in-
land .r'vatl»rs., The tempestuous seas of the
Irish and English Channels are now regular-
ly crossed, in all weathers, by the vessels in
the service of the Post Office, as well as by
private‘ ships. It is stated that in the violent
storm ofthe Md Nov. last,whicll was exceed-
iilgly destructive totlie shipping aild sea de-
fences on the shores of the cllalinel, the .\’iil-
ford steam packet was out during the whole
of the gale, and lnade good her passage to
Duninore without any injury. So regular is
the passage of the stcaln vessels across the I-
rish sea, that it is colninon to slaughter beef
in Dublin,‘ for sale next dily in the market of
Mancliester, 150 miles distant.

In this pamphlet, published under the sanc-
tion of the directors, _we find the following
statement, which we rccnmlnend to the par-
iicular attention of thosewho feel airy inter-
est iii the trade ofour own port. “ It may
ilow be assumed, aran incontrovertible fact,
that wherever steam navigation has beetles-
tablislied on a proper foo'_ting, and on a.sufli-
cieut scale of vessels and lnachinery, it has
not only been” a_bii_ndal_rt|y successful, but its
perlormaiice has surpassedthe expectatlions,
over come the natural prejudices, and coili-
lnaiided the collfidelice_of_even nautical men;
and it has not only drawn ‘to it all the most
valuable colnlnunicatibn in its line oftransit,
bill also increased it in a tenfold’pr'oportiolr.”

We have lieretolbre attempted ‘to call the
attention of our readers’ totlie iillportailce of
establislling this species of corlillinnication
between this port and Halifax, as a branch of
the grand line ofcolninunlcation between A-
merica aud Europe, and as a liieaiis ofsecur-
ing to ourselves a portion of the benefit which
will uiiquestionable be derived from the mode
of communication. .A‘lm,os't- the only notice
which has been taken of our suggestion has
been a gelieral expl'essinii of doubt whether
llie project would be carried into execution,
by the company in Elrglanil. It is now too
late to doubt on that head. Measures have
already been taken, which render it extreme-
ly iniprobal_lle that this powerfu'l' company
will i'etreat_fron‘i their undertaking, ‘at least,
without a serious effort to carry it in|.o;efi'ecI.
We are foi'trina'te|y so situated, that all '.'lia't is
necessary to be done on our part, to secure to
us our full share of the benefit of the enter-
prise, is to provide a .s'iriglelste_alt'i' boat of500

regularly between this port and Halifax.

VALLEY OF inc MISSISSIPPI;

The valley of tlle Midsissippi and its tribu-
tary rivers exceeds in extent of surface the
limits ofany other countr' whose waters are
accumulated and flow tliroiigli the channel of
one river to the ocean. The United States
are separated from north to s-luth into nearly
equal eastern and lvesterndivisiolis by the ri-
ver Mississippi, the valley of which is, there
fore, situated in the central part of the Amer-
ican Republic. It extends east to the Allega-
ny, which divides the"Union into the Atlantic
and Western States, and west to the Rocky
.\iouiltains,which separates the territories and
states westoftlie Missis-ippi river froln the
country bordering on the shores of the Pa-
cific, and passes through I9 deg. ofnorthern
latitude, and Sflidegrees oflongitude, embra-
cing an area of more than one million square
miles. The rivers which beautifully intersect"
this extensive region, uniting their waters
with the Mississippi, are every where numer-
ous, and of unparalleled length : those which
fall into the Mississippioir the west, are—the
Arkansas, 2000 miles long, which is naviga-
ble I00 miles--Missouri,440O lliiles in lelrgtli.
and navigable 2600 miles—Red river is navi-
gable 500 niiles,'Des Moius 800', and Saint
Peters 200 : those emptying their waters on
the eastern margin ofthe liver, are the Yazoo,
navigable 100 liriles : the Ohio, 945 miles
long, and navigable the whole distance; Illi-
nois, navigable 2200 miles, and Ouisconsin,
350 miles long, alid navigable I30miles. Al
most every staple production of commerce,
such as the sugar cane of India, the rice ol
Etliiopia, the spices of Malacca, the grape of
France, and the cotton ofthe-South Sea Isl-
ands, are the natural growth of its rich and
fertilizing soil. In additioll to this product-
lveness of soil, minerals and lnetals ofthe

'lirost general use, and of the highest value,are

found ill great and rich varieties. Witliirl its

‘confines, since the Arilericaii Revolution, set-
tlements have been etiected, states and terri-

tories have beenorganized, cities vying in up-
lence with those which centuries have coli-
trrbuted to establish, have, in the--space of 20

years, been built, where nothing but wilder-

ness then silrrounded their sites. New Or-
leans, the sixth city in size in the U, States,
contains now near 40,000 inhabitants ;- Ciri-
cinnati, in 1805, had only a population ol'500,
but in 18920, cori_taioed 9,600 ; Lexington, in

West India iS'q'2iadr'o1i.-It. appears by a
sketch of the operations of, the ,'West India
squadron, published in the National Journal,
that the Decoy‘, which left this port, on the
28th of December, suffered considerably in a
gale on the 1st of January. On the 20th, a
case ofsrnall pox was discovered on board, $1.
being then near Cape Maize, Capt. Mingle-
ternrined to put into St. Jago for a supply_of
vaccine ilratter. On the following day, the
Decoy was chased by the Britis_h brig of war
Brilomart, which notwithstanding the Amer-
ican colors were displayed, as well as the pri-
vate signals between Com. Porter and Com.
Sir Edward Owen,fired a shot in range,wlrich
fell short, and was returned by the Decoy.-
Ori being boarded,tlre commander ofthe brig
attributed his conduct to mistake, and made
the most ample apologies; stating thatlle was
cruising for Spanish slave-traders, and, not
seeing the colours ofthe Decoy, which were
very small, he took her for one. The Decoy
went ilito St. Jugo de Cuba on the 22d, and
owing to contrary winds, remained there until
the 927th ofJanuary. On the llili ofFeb’ry.
she reacliedHavana,wliere the ship was thor-
oughly cleansed.

In the lnonth of March, Captain Harris, of
H. B. M. sllip Hussar, having received on
board two seamen who had deserted lrolil a
Philadelphia merchant vessel, Capt.Gal|agh—
er, of the Shark, held a correspondence with
the British Captain, in Havana, on the sub-
ject, the result of which was the release and
sending back ofthe seamen by Capt. Harris.

The Grampus, Lt. Com. Sloat, was criiiz
ing in March, in the neighbourhood of Sail
Rock Passage, and prevented lllarry vessels
from being robbed by row boats. By one of
these boats, containing eight or ten lnen, this
Grampus was attacked, by mistake, one night
in the dark. They got nearly along side,and
had fired two inuskets, before they discovered
their error ; the crew of the boat then made
off, and riotivitlrstatvding a prollipt alid perse-
veriug pursuit, escaped among the rocks.

The Vagacltphd sloop, Lieut.J. L. Salin-
ders, proceede about the middle of Julie last
to Carlos Bay, and took possession of a schr.
laying there, put on board her a illidsllipmali,
with live inch, to carry her to 'I3hompson’s Isl-
and. . While at Carlos Bay, Lierlt. Saunders
heard of_a schooner landing her cargo at a
fishing es’talilisli'ir''i‘ent, . about 25 miles to the
S0lllII, and that ariotlier was expected from the
Havana.’

I , . .-—— ., ,

The report that Com. Porter had been of-
fered the appointment of Commaiider ill
Chiefofthe Naval forcesin_tlle Mexican ser-
vice. has, it is understood, been’ confirmed by
advices from thence, which state that the Ex-
ecutive of Mexico decided, on the 4th ofJul_v
last, to recommend to the Council of the Go-
verimient to tender this appointllieiit to Com.
Porter ; on the 80th of July this proposition
was approved byithe Council, and the offer
has accordingly been made to‘him. It is sta-
ted that a similar overture has also been made
to Com. P. on the part ofthe government of

The editor of the Patriot, is respectfully

Gov. Troup. I have been charged with hav-
ing attempted to break the late treaty: and
of having colinccted myself‘ with a political
party of this state.
charges to be wholly destitute oftrutll. I have
frankly and candidly answered every civil
question asked ilic by uielr of all parties in
reference to the treaty. I have exerted my-
selfto convince the principalchiefs ofthe lia-
tion opposed to the treaty, of the expediency
of their acquiescing in it-. I have indeed cor-
dially accepted civilities of many much re-
spected citizens of Georgia, without knowing
or making any efl":.:»r-t to know to what party
they belonged ; and I have since ascertained
that they in some cases belonged to different
parties. I had no knowledge of the political
views ofMr. Varner, at the timeI replied to
his enquiry respecting the ““ emigration par-
ty.” 1 have never deemed it proper to insult
a citizen of any state or any party in conse-
queuceofhis being uncivil to me. I have never
to my kpowedge endeavored to influence the
vote or the political opinion ofany man in the
state of Georgia. in regard to the ensuing e
l_ection—And' although I am not aware that
my letter ofthe 6th will produce this eFfect,as
it tends to expose the improper conduct of
some men of botll parties, who have advoca-
ted a violation ofthe 8th article ofthe treaty:
yet as I liavebceu charged however falsely,
with an attempt to meddle with the political
affairs ofthe state, with a view to the ensuing
election, I have determined to suspend the

The ship Fortune, arrived at Plymouth,
was struck on the ?)tli,Aug. 1824, near the
floor timbergheads, about inidship, by a sword
fish. Th'es'word of the fish struck the ship-
with such violence as to passthrough the cop-'

The sword broke off) or three inches, from the
outside of the ship, and remained in that situ-
ation during a cruise of about ten months",
when it was discovered in the harbor of Tall-
cuhuano. During t|lis_ tiiile _the_ship leaked,

papers and valuables of General Lafayette;
which were sunk in the steaniboat Mechanic,
have been recovered, and that they have sus-
tained liltle or no injury. IVe believe all the
articles belonging to the General, which were
on board, have been recovered. His watch,’
in the haste of quitting the cabin, as the boat:
was sinking, was left ill his birth, was found.
in the birtii, after the boat was raised, and for.-
warded to him before he left this city. The.
body of his travelling carriage floated from
the deck ofthe boat, as she went down, and
was picked up some miles below ; the wheels
did not float and were raised with the boat;
so that the carriage was entirely l'c'oovered,_
and was sent down to New Orleans; from
there it has been shipped for France, and will_
be preserved by the General at La Grange an
object ofinterest to his family and friends, as
the vehicle in which he performed his ini-
mense journey through the U. S.—.7V'at. Int.
Daring Outrage.-—VVe learn that the store
ofJouatlian Pettibone, Jr. Esq. of Simsbury;
was broken open on Friday night last, bya
person (whose name we have not learnt) who
had previously stolen a horse in the neighbor-
hood to aid his escape. The thief, having
entered the store by breaking open the outer
rellar door, attacked with a club the brother
of Mr. Pettibone,who was asleep in the count-3
ing rooni; upon which a violent struggle com-
menced between them,rr-hich lasted for near-'
ly an hour, when the thiefmeditating a re-
treat, darted through the window,drawing af-
ter liiin Mr. Pettibone, who, clinging to him,
had the strength and resollution to hold him”
until, by; his cries, he succeeded in obtaining
help from a neighboring ll‘o'u'se,when the rogue
was secured.‘ He was next day committed to
pris’on' in this ‘city to await his trial. Mr. Pet-
ribone was very much bruised in the contest;
and bled quite freely when he was relieved
from his uilcoftifortable cllarge.—-Hart"d.Mer."

Q ' . . - .
Nero Orleaiiii.—-'—Tlie fo'llowin'g is extracted
from the journal of a traveller through the
western states:' _ _

“ The French’ _p0pl}l2ilI'On is, I suppose,’
three to_one American, and with them Sun-'
day is the greatest day in the week, the mor-
ning being ‘devoted to bus"ln'ess, and the eve-'
ning to pleasure. As a specinlen, I will give
you the following prominent features ofa Sun'-
day in New Orleans. You see the markets‘
much better attended ; every branch of busi-
ness moving on with a greater degree ofspiritj
all the uniform companies ofthe city elegant-
ly equipped, and on parade, morning and eve-
ning ; every species of gaming that human
invention has discovered ; coligo dances ;and
the French theatres crowded to overflowing."
The Americans are gradually gaining ground,
and the old forms and customs .are giving
place to new ones. They now enjoy a wet}
regulated police. The city guards are seen
in all parts ofthe city ; and ifperchance there
happens to land from Old Kenfuck 5 3 half
horse, half alligator, and a little touched with
the snapping turtle,’ he has to keep himself
very cool, or else he is very soon walked into
the calibouce. During a residence of eight
days in that city,I neither saw a fight not
heard a qu"arrel, which a few years ago would
have been an hourly occurrence.”
Murder.--Oli Thursday afternoon, near
sunset, as Robert Harris, a respectable cart-
man, who has long been in employ ofAbra’m
Bell, Esq, Pille-st. was passing with his load-
ed cart, iienr Peck slip, he was met in a part
of the street much blocked up with building
inaterials,by an unloaded cart, driven by John
t]’Cully. The latter, as we are told, refused
to back out his cart, and permit the loaded
cart to pass on, and a dispute ensued between
the two,- during which tVI’_Cully seized a rung
from his cart and struck .a Violent blow upon
the head of Harris, which prostrated hilii on
the ground: 'He was deprivedot speech by
the blow, and after lingering ill excruciating
torture, died at 12 o’clock at niglit..ll1erc. ._‘1dv.
