Miss Mosley, who have sailed for the

Sauery.--No man is greater slave than
he who thinks himself, and is thought by
Others TO be great man. He has scarce
moment on which the public has not a
claim, in which something is not due TO
etiquette, ia order to sustain his dignity,
and keep up his rank in society; or in
which he is not in some shape or other
real drudge to his own grandeur.

UNITED STATES BANK.

An impression exists in the minds oi some
individuals. that the Bank of The United
States is indebted in Europe 10 the amount
oftwo or three million Of dollars, and that
il has lately found Unnecessary to negotiate
a postponement of the payment ottbe debt
We state upon the best authority, that
the bank owes no debt in Europe. The
mistake on this subject probably originated
partly in misrepresentation Of facts, and
partly in a disposition to think and speak
unfavorably, on all occasions, OF every
thing connected with the bank Of the U.
States. This institution has made an ar
Engagement, by which the paymen; OF that
part of the Louisiana debt due from 60
vsrnment to foreigners, in October, IS
postponed to period more convenient and
beneficial TO the public. This arrange
meut viii retain Tor time in the country
a large sum of money, the loss OF which
at this period OF pecupiary embarrassment
would render the pressure still more dis
ttessing. ti0'a.

than observe it has been in Boston; in
fact, we have not had il above go this sea-

and suburbs, still their is considerable
sickness among the shipping along the Lee
wee, and many deaths have occurred among
them This is in great measure accoun-
ted for, by the peculiar manner in which
the seamen acCustom themselves 10 live
II is to their intemperance generally that
so much sickness takes place among them,

themselves TO night dews, and sleeping on
the decks, on or about streets, in state OF
intoxication; to this dreadful vice so many
fall victims, and not to the climate, which
firmly believe is as healthy as that OF your
city. Fever and ague, which was scarcely
known to originate here, has been very
prevalent this season, and some have died
in the chills, but there has been no report
of any death by the old fashioned yellO's

The prospect of our crops of Cotton and
Sugar is very great. Should they be got
in without damage by rot or frost, they will
far exceed the last years. There is but
little produce in market, and that is held
too high for export under our last advices.
What ships are here, and | am sorry there
are so many, will lie by for the next season.
What freights have lately been given, will
scarcely pay the ships expenses. think

an Island with several pieces OF cannon,

to destroy this nest of pirates. We want

uN,rEp STATES PENSIONERS.

Saturday last was the day for paying the
public pensioners at the Bank ofthe United
States. We understand that the number
appl, ing for the payment OF their pensions
here, amounted to about eighteen hundred,
Two hours before the usual hour for open
inc hank and the adjoining Office, the ap'
piicants began TO flock in; and in short
time, the court leading to the bank was al
most literally blocked up, and continued
in that situafion until after two o'clock
The scene was an interesting one; here
and there, in the crowd, were to be seen
the soldier whohad lost an eye ora limb
in the service of his country, and the WI
lowed matron, whose husband had laid
down his life in the Tented 6eid,' anx-
iously pressing forward to receive the re-
ward of their sacrifices aud bereavements.
Occasionally we could hear veteran tell
ing of The fatiguing marches he had per-
formed in the day OF trial, the ''hair breadth
SCOPES be had made, and as it were
fighting his battles DER again The
great uumber Of pensioners, and the forms
to be observed on the occasion, will con-
sumo several days in completing the pay
ments, it being impracticahse to satisfy
more than about ninety on each day.

The city of Savannah has thus far been
declared extremely hea lthy. The dram
ing Of marshes and rice lands in The vicini-
ty of The city, and the substitution of sys-
tenn of dry culture are supposed to have
contributed much TO this important object.

George Brown, late mate Of the schooner
Retrieve was tried yesterday before Judge
Livingston, for murder and piracy on the
high seas. The isllasted about four hours,
and the prisoner was ably defended by his
counsel ; but his own confession, and the
corresponding testimony Of one of the &C.
completes, leaving no doubt of guilt on the
minds CT the court and jury, he was found
guilty.
II will be recollected that the Retrieve
