COMMUNICATED.

1lr. 71omas Tracy of Alexandria, by his
last VIII and Testament, devised to the Treas
urer ofthe Bible Society oftke District of Co
iun5ia, for the use of said Society, the sum OF
n.5o0, and further legacy (residuary) of prop
.srty equal, perhaps, to 100000. He provides
that ifthe legatee, should die without heir or
intestate, this property shall also be applied to
the funds of the society. In his viii he ex-
presses himself as deeply impressed with the
Importance of the society to the Christian re-
ligion. 1t is considered as matter of justice to
the deceased, as well as of useful example to
the living, to record this munihcent act OF
charity.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.
Office of the Georgian, Savanneh, !
Sunday June 81 o'clock Pm. !
COZ. GINNING & Mr.. MDUFFIE.

COL. CUMMING s. Mr.. M'DUFFIE.
The long expected Duel between these
gentlemen took place on Saturday last, at
Understanding, on the Carolina shore.
MIR. M'DUFFIE received bis antagonists
ball in the side, which lodged near the
back bone; and when the intelligence came
away he was in a delirious state. Col.
CUMMING has escaped uninjured. Thus
has terminated an affair which has for
months past occupied considerable por-
ton of the public attention throughout the
Union, and which from the high standing
of the individuals, has excited intense in
terest. All. we believe, have felt, that
which ever might escape from the contest,
the public, in the deprivation of the ia
tents OF either, would be a serious loser.

there was a suspicious vessel OF 5O tons.
armed with an l8 FOUNDER, anc having a ,.
crew of 80 persons, composed OF people OF
ali nations, detained. She purported to
he from Msrgaretta; but no legal papers
au,henticating her character had been found
on board. A prize taken by her had been
retaken by one oil the government vessels
belonging to Hayti which caused her tenn
norary detention. However, she finally
ATTAINED permission to proceed to sea; but
anon a prompt representation being made
to President Boyer. by Mr.. Armstrong. A.
merican Agent at Port-au.Prince he order
ed her back into the harbour. This order
being executed, the pretended offlcers OF
the vessel Instituted . suit against the A
merican Agent, for bis fundamentally in
OBTAINING the vessel-damages laid at TO-
600 dollars. She would probably remain
until some U. S. ship Of war should take
he1 in custody and carry her TO America
for examination. 1t is said that some per-
sons recognised the vessel and part OF the
crew as pratIcal depredators.
The city of Boston is we apprehend, in

cities have suffered by the operation,
