' FO b I w T / t \ By th^ arriv# of the Courier nt Now-Yori? from Biv:erpool, accoui^ts Jja^qi b^bn brought ^injyone day later tbcm*those before received. \ Liondon Aeg. 15.-^’i*lie Mlf^meine ^ciVaa^re- \ccired tbisunornlngto the £lth last, brings^iutclli- gence relative to the war between the Greeks end Turks, the greater part of whieh seems to confirm the refiorted capture of Ilw. Pucha. AH. the principal facts have reached iis ^ by oth er channels, at Various periods during the last fortnight. ' It appears that the late despatchc.s iiom Constantinople were wholly silent respect ing the rumored defeat of Ibrahim Pacha. We copy the following paragraph from the Cork Constitrition, of Thursday: J\msmlv.tion o f the new Romm Catholic *,dsso- ciaiion .—A meeting was held on Saturday at the Corn Exchange, but in consequence of the absence of the Barristers on Circuit, the orato ry was of a minor cast; and the whole wont off as tamely as could be wished by the most staunch friends to social order. The only thing worthy of observation is, the notice of a post ponement of their mobtings to the 8th Novem ber next, w'hich, it is currently and confidently rumoured, is the preliminary to its final disso lution.\ We have now' before us the official ordinance of the King of Erance, declaring the full and entire independence of the Government of St. . Domingo. It is a curious document, and, like the Commonw'ealtb of Gonzales, I* the latter end ofit forgets tlierbeginning.” In fact, the anxi ety to assert in theory wkit w'^as renounced in practice, of, in other words, to unite a substan tive act of authority with the mere phantom of it, has led to a whimsical jumble in the enact ments of this ordinance. Thus, for example, it begins with ordaining that the. ports of the bVench part of St. Domingo are open to the commerce of all nations, as if it really depended on the will of France what ships should be al lowed to visit the porfe of ijs^former colony.— It is in this way that the principle of legitimate sovereignty is supposed to be maintained; a ptinciple whose “ dignity,\ aswe learn from the Etoilo, would have been compromised by ne gotiating a treaty with the Haytien Government, as w^e did with the United States,, when we ac knowledged their independence. WeHr— be it so. The manner of the thing docs not signify much, when the end sought is effectually secu red. We confess, however, there is a looseness in the wording of this Contract, which, if France could ever have a motive to recede from if hereafter, would seem to afford her the oppor tunity. “ Wegrant,\ says the Ordinance, “ to the actual inhabitants of the Frefich part of the Island of St. Domingo, the full and entire Inde- / pendence of their Govemment.” This is more like a bargain w'hich gives a life interest only to the parties in whose favour it is made, than a ^olemn .and unconditional surrender of sove reignty, now and forever. Circumstances, wc grant, make the act as final and as secure, as it could be rendered by the most precise terms; besides which, the honor and good faith of the French nation are pledged to the real purport of the transaction.—[Courier.} We gather from the Buffalo Emporium of the 17th instant, the following facts, relative to founding the ncv.? city of Ararat, on Grand Is land, intended as an asylum for the persecuted Jews.— Jlllf. Gaz. R evival OF the J ewish G overxiickt , It wilLcreafcno ordinary interest among the friends of liberal principles throughout the w'orld, and, indeed of every good Christian, to learn that the Govemment of the oldest of na tions, from wdiom every nation and religion have their origin, is revived and brought again into existence in our-country and under the panoply of our laws. The government of the Jews is revived, as it existed under the Judges; and Mr. Noah of New'-York, w'ho lias long laboured Ip promote this object, is named the first Judge of Israel. It was intended to have laid the corner stone of the city of A 3 iarat . , (not an inapt name for N oah to think of).on the 15th at the island; but water conveyance could not be procured to accommodate all who desired to sec the cere mony, and the consecration of tlie Corner Stone took place at this village w'ith Masonic and Military ceremonies. But we have since learnt it is to.be deposited on tbe island in a suitable manner. We were awoke ar break of day bythethun- clering of -cannon, firing a salute in honor of the Twelve Tribes—at ten the bells ebimed and t the flags were displayed—*nnd the artillery, com manded by Capt. Crary, together with the ex cellent volunteer band, paraded in front o f the Court House. ' [ A grand procession was formed, consisting of citizens, masonm lodges, &-c. accompanied by the Judge of Israel, pilr, Noab} dressed in black, wearing the J ^ i d a l robes of crimson silk,j|]^immed with ermine and a richly embossed gqldib medal suspended from his neck.] On arriving at the Chm'ch door the* tro<^ opened to the right and left, apd the |»oce^ion entered the aides, the Band playing the ^rand March-ftoin Judas Maccabees.

Mr. Noah rose and prohounqed a discourse, or rather delivered a speech announcing the re-, organization of the Jewish Government and going throuj^h a detail of the History of the Hebrew nation—their sufferings^their num bers, &c. to which a crowded auditory listened with a profound attention.' On the'condlusion of the ceremonies the procession returned im mediately and the Masonic brethren and the Military repaired to the Eagle Tavern and par took of refreshments. Thu Church was filled with ladies and the whole ceremony was im pressive and unique. A grand salute of 24 guns was fired by the Artillery, and the Band played a number' of patriotic airs. ' The proclamation issued by the Judge of Israel on this occasionannounces to the Jew ish people, that an asylum has been provided for them-, in a fruitful and happy Country, where their religion Will be respected and their rights protected—it then states the local advantages of the position selected—it declares .that the Jewish nation is reorganized under the govern ment of Judges—orders a census of tlio Jesvs throughout the work! to be taken—directs those in foreign countries to encourage the em igration of those young ihen who will add to the strength and character of the Nation—com manding a neutrality in the present war be tween Greece and Turkey—forbid'ling polyga my—admitting that the Indians of the country are descendants of the lost tribes, and suggest ing tlie propriety of acquainting them with their origin, and civilizing them—directing a capita tion tax of three shekels of .silver (aboul one dollar,) to be levied on all Jews, the money to be used in assisting emigrants, and naming cbm- misioners for carrying the order into effect, &.c. The proclamation is signed “ by or Jer of the Judge, A. B. Seixas, sec’ry pro tem.'^ The grand ship canal company is organised and going into operation in London, \with the immense capital of four millions sterling, ($17, 777,777.) Its object is to construct a canal through which ships of the hoe may pass from Portsmouth to London, without exposure to the delays and danger of the sea navigation around the Forelands &c. Another company, with a capkai of 1,750,000?. is incorporated for the construction of harbors and a ship capal, of 16 feet deep, by 90 in width, and 44 miles long, from Seaton Bay, in the English channel, to Bridgewater Bay, in the Bristol channel ^ con sidered as a highly advantageous and beneficial ivork. The steam navigation company, for At lantic and South American voyages, is also progressing. They propose to send a boat from the Thames, to Halifax and New'-York, once a fortnight, to perform the v’oyage with certdnty, and within tw'o thirds of the usual time. Pack ets wHl also sail regularly to I he West Indies and South America. This is braving the vio lence of tliosc elements from which the canal companies arc providing the means of escape by retreating .—NoalCt Jldvocute. The Savannah Republican of ihe 6tb inst. gives the following extract of a letter, by w’hich it would seem that jgovernor Troup, of. Georgia, has not succeeded in Ills war of words to impress General Gaines with a desired respect for his dignity.— Jld. Gaz. MiUedgeville, i d Sept. 1825. The Governor has lately demanded of the President, the arrest and trial of Gcn.^ Gaines, according to the articles of w nr. ; ‘ The article of war alluded to, nve suppose is the fifth, which is in the following words; “ Any officer or soldier, Who shall use con temptuous disrespectful words against’the Presi- President thereof; against the Congress of the United States, or “* against the Ghief Magis trate or legislature of any of the United States in which ho may be quartered,\ if a commission ed officer, shall be cashiered or otherwise pun ished, as a Court Martial shall direct; if a non commissioned officer or soldier, he shall suffer such punishment as shall be inflicted on him by the sentence of a Court Martial\' From Fem.—Tire Garoune, at this port, which left Lima, Jane 38th, has brought nu? merous letters. The frigate Conslitutiod^Com. Hull, had arrived at ChoriHos. Gallao it was thought ‘by some would be ftarved into sub mission in about two months. Other letters state that there was no prospect of its surren der lor a long time, as Rodil had Mill a large supply of provisions. The Patriots Bad thrown up a battery within gun shot of Calko and mounted six 24 pounders, and they were con tinually fifing upon one another, but without much effect. The object of this battery, was to prevent RodH’a cattle from coining out to graze, which in some measure succeeded..

Sped. subject “ is worthy of notice only as it shows by what slender ties tfie union is held together, ^ and how immediately any particular state, thwarted in its specific interests by the mpas- ures of the general government,, looks to sep aration as a remedy. On the other hand the Liverpool Mercury, an able and well conducted paper of liberal principles, ridicules the absur dity of the anticipated consequences of the Cou rier, and \ rather apprehends that the conse quence of the threatof the Georgians (to stand by their arms) will be the vesting of more pow er in the American general Executive, than it at present' possesses.\ The same paper in speaking of a possible separation of the States, observes, “ If, therefore, atony future time, tlie American States should dissolve the Union, it will bo no triumph to Toryism, on the monar chical principle; the separation will only be a numerical addition to the existing republics of the world; and the' Courier may vainly dream tirat there will be any deputation from the Geor gians lo England, to invite his Royal Highness of York or Clarence to condescend to become their monarch.\ , ^iackcry .—To prevent theincrease of quack ery, the StatcMedicalSocinty will apply at the next sc.«;sion of the legislature of this state, for certain amendments to the \ act to incorporate Medical Societies for the purpose of regulating the practice of Physic and Surgery in this state, passed April 10, 1 8 1 3 viz. for the prevention of Quackery; for the better examination of students, for the punishment of unworthy mem bers of the profession; for tbe increase of the censors of the^ State Medical Society ; for reg ulating the requisitions for the degree of Doctor of Medicine; and for ether purposes. Discovery of ike sources of the Mississip pi .—^A work bearing this title, and written by an Ital ian, has lately been published in this country. The following notice is taken of it by a writer for the New-York American, who is a country man of the enterprising tra\\el!er and who- (say the editors of that paper) is a young Italian of much merit, of gentlemanly deportment and ac complished education, whom the adverse po litical circumstances of his native land have dri ven to seek refuge in our own. “ Wc facilitate M. Beltrami, first on the cou rage which he has evinced in his enterprise, which appears to us extraordinary, and the judgment and good taste by which he has ren dered the book of his travels very interesting— the observations are always in unison with mo rality, true philosophy, and with the political principles of the present age;—and in descri bing the wonderful places, and objects he has beheld, lie entertains the reader with romantic pictures of those beautiful dislant’countries, and wilh characteristic traits of the savages and an imals who mlmbit them—every where making a comparison between tvhat is ancient and what is modem, between uncivilized^uman nature and man when cultivated and iAneft by socie ty. He gives the most interesting details of the manners and religious ceremonies of the sa vages, and is always relatingsome neW^ events and new incidents, at once singularand instruct ing. When in the midst of deserts,, which no person before him had ever ventured to ex plore, he is left by the Iw'o savage gnides who overcome the d an^rs to which, a wild country and ferocious animals continually exposed him. When at last he has obtamed the principal ob ject of his research, and is eolavinced that he has discovered the true sources of the Missis sippi, he is overpowered by the sublimest emo tions of adoration, and gratitude to the Grand Architect of the Universe, and h e ^oonsecrates these vettriraMe places to friendship, and to vir tue. h it isietercstingto see him remember and associate with his discovery, those IHustrious I- talians who were the first to imveilto poiterity the great destloy which was reserved to tins w orld in future ages.
