Extract Of letter from o gentleman in 81. Bar

mouth, (Vu,) receiUed by the Schr LaretnS,
Captain Hoi0land.
We have been visited within the last fey
weeks, by two American men of war, the brig
Spark, Capt. Elton, and the schr. Grampus,
Lieut.. Gregory. As they were understood to
be in pursuit of Debour, notorious pirate.
(who after his robberies, generally finds an a.
sylum here, until the thing blows oyer) the
inhabitants had many cOnjecfures. Some
were pleased with the novel sight ofan Anne
rican man of war others knowing that De
bour and many of his followers were on the
island, feared the consequences while some
were of opinion that good feeds and good
wine would not only remove all difficulties, but
send the American Officers away well satisf-
ed. Whether this was exactly the opinion
Of the Government | pretend not TO say but
IT 1t was, the attention Of his Excellency GER
tainly did not divert that excellent officer.
Capt Elton, from his duty, which he per-
FORMED however in SO gentlemanly and OFF
Ger like manner as to inspire respect and es-
ieem even with those whom his duty com
PEELED him to be positive. Several official let

ters passed between Capt. Elton and the Co
vernon, the result of which was, so Far as
known here, the delivery of one of the pirate
Debour's men to the u. States. From this
man may be expected detailed account of
their piracies, which in due time will no doubt
be made public.
Lit may not be improper to observe that
1t was not until several positive demands were
made by Capt. Elton, that the Governor con-
sented to deliver him up. Most of the priva-
teers and pirate owners and agents here have
declared war against Mr.. Harrison, the Anne
rican Agent or Consul here. There is no in
considerable force here, L assure YOU"

derived from the national domain. We have
long letter on that subject from an experienced
politician, who atthe same time Is sterling Re
publican, in which he deprecates the adoption
OF this measure. We shall publish it when we

Presidential NoMISATIoN.-It is with
surprise we read an article published in the
Georgian" Ia respectable paper published
at Savannah) concerning a recent transaction af
Columbia, $. {. II is with regret we observe
the attempt to wound the feelings of an indivj-
dual, who acted but as the organ of general
senilment.-Whether the public opinion ex-
pressed by the gentlemen composing the Lee
glslature of South Carolina, be the opinion of
a majority Ofthc people oftbe United States.
or not-ls question which certainly cmnot
inyalidate their right 10 declare that opinion.
From the best Information we have been able
to obtain, their sentiment seems to be pretty
generally that of the State. We NAV be
wrong. But we cagnot be wrong in the feeling
which tells It's that the mode in which this opi1
Mon was framed and published should not be
dlscOlOred by error or distorted by faction
TRUTH is too dear TO be long concealed too
mighty TO be beaten from the field. From the
very best authority; from the declarations of
several gentlemen who were present we learn
that the following are the material points
which were embraced in the movers PREDATORY
remarks to the resolutions already published
We neither defend his positions, nor at present
do wc think II necessary TO make any com
mems on the probable success Of the effort 1:
but we give his thoughts as he meant them,
on the score of common justice and liberaty
He did say, that it was believed the coin-
Try was not prepared for accepting the altcrDa-
tive, OF taking Mr.. Crawford or Mr.. Adams ::
and that il was well worth our consideration,
whether South Carolina, in the existing state
Ofpublic opinion, could not advance the claims
and pretensiOns OF some one of her distinguish
ed citizens.

Tags qoe trust Of the public bounty, while the
fee really remained in the United States, as
grantors.
Mr.. NELSON, of Maryland, thercupon modi-
fied tine resolution by Introducing the words
" may have heretofore bren, SEE so as TO
avoid the difficulties suggested by the gentle
man from Ohio, (Mf. Ross.)
Mr.. Cook proposed an amendment to ex-
tend the inquiry rs to what states have receiv-
ed such grants, to what amount &c. but the
proposition was negaiiyed.
Mr.. ROCHESTER, moved tc, refer the subject
matter of the resolution to "A committee Of the
whole house, and 10 make the same the or
der nj the day for IN morrow; but that mo-
ton was also ncsativcd.
Mr.. CANNoN observed, that the resolution
di not probably express all that the mover
had Intended. By the terms of the resolu-
ton, any state that may have received any
quantity OF land, however small or dispropor-
tonatr, even Ii one state should have received
bnt 1000 acres, and another state a million,
would be entitled 90 no further quantity or
average whatever. 1t WAS known that the
state ct Tennessee had received far less than
others--and it would, therefore, be correct,
IN his opinion, TO modify the resolution by
inserting after the word education," the
words . as will place the several states on an
equal ooting.'
Mr. Ross moved that the resolution, to-
sethar with the foregoing amendment, be laid
on the table aud printed which was lost.
The question was then taken on Mr.. Can
non ameDdmcnt, and lost.
MIR. RANKIN then minated his intention OF
expressing his sentiments on the subiect-but
the usual hour Of adjournment having passed.
he moved to adjourn (; and thereupon
The House adjourned.

wherein he referred to the gentlemen who were III
