BALTIMORE, July 90.
LATAYErTE.-Ther reports ami predictions
respecting the visit of La FAyErrE TO this
country, are various and contradictory. In our
paper of yesterday il was stated that 6 it was
notexpectcd he would sail for the United States
as soon as was contemplatcd.n II is now said
he will take passage in the ship Stephania of
New York. Capt. Macy writes to his ow-
ners in that city, that in an interview with the
general at Paris, he was to give an answer in n
day or two whether he would embark in the
Stephania. The regular day of the sailing of
this ship is the goth June; but il he comes in
her, she will be delayed till the ,ni,li:e of the
present month; and may therefore be expected
TO arrive in New York about the middle of Au-
gust.
3 Various titles are applied to Ia FAYErrE {:
The Jlarq,as, General, sc, The former he has
under his own signature, renounccd, and the
latter can only7be properly applied during the
time man is in the actual possession of the an
thority and commission of Gcneral.-Ncither
of these are proper titles then for LAF AYETrE.
Another and more distinguished title has been
applied TO fnm-one that he has richly earned
and one that he can accept of without relinaush-
ing particle of hishgh claims torepublcanism
viz: lLLUsrRIoUs CITIZEN. This latter we
conceive to be the most Appropriate, and one
that wehope to see generally aopted-ve had
almost said that hoped to see il in its full ex-
tent of meaning and application adopted by LA
FAYETTE himself for who has better right to
thehighest of human titles, 6 ILLUsTRtoUs CT

AUGUSTA, july %.

We learn from numerous iDformers, that the
effects Of the late drought have been, and Still
are, seriously exhibited in various parts of our
country and that the crops, particularly the
crops, have been greatly injured by it.
There have been partial showers in different
sections of the country. and it is hoped that
suifciency of bread stuF will he made to supply
the necessities Of every district-though from
the excessive heat and drought which has pre-
vailed, the promising prospects which many
fields presented few weeks ago are greatly
changed, and the expectations Of the husband
man viii, in many instances, be disappointed
We arc gratifed, however, to learn, that thi:
check TO the hopes of many who were calcula
ting upon large rewards for their labor, is ac
! oompanied by blessings demanding gratefu

USEFUL, EAi{GRANTS.

The ship Boston, captain Finley, which arr-
we'd at this port on Saturday last, from Havre,
brought out l19 men, women aud children,
comprising % families from Bern, one of tie
cantons of Switzerland. They are chiefly me
chanics and farmers, and both men and women
seem to have been well Injured to I,ardships.
Capt. Finley speaks of them in the highest
-terms-represents them as being the most or.
DERBY and well beliaved passengers that ever
came under his notce-that they are strictly
attentive to their religious devotions, and much
better III their circumstances than what emf
grants generally are. Most of them, we believe,
contemplate departing hence for settlement,
which has been formed by their countrymeti, in
Ohio or kcntucky.*
The simplicity OF their manners and the Pc
culiarity of their dress have excited the atten-
ton of crowds of the citizens who have visited
them on board the ship, and to whom they OBJ
serve all the cordiahy and familiarity that could
possibly be expected from strangers, almost
wholly ignorant of the Language and manners OF
our country.
They seem to have the impress of honesty in
their countenances; and it is hoped that where
yer they may go. the same respect will be ex-
tended to them which they have received from
such ofour citizens they have had any com
nluuication with
We are requested to state that they will pur-
chase IS or 20 good dfaught horses.

The long continued dry weather which we
have experienced, will have the most injurious
effects upon the crops in this part of the coun-
try. We have received letter from May Ri
yer, S. C.-wich states that the want of rain
for the last eight weeks 6 has almost entirely
destroyed the corn crop; the cotton crop is
materially injured, and the prospect of provisi-

LucI,y Ltcident.-A gentleman from Troy
who arrived in the North River steam boat, on
Saturday morning, upon going on deck and ex-
anIning the baggage, missed his trunk, contain
ing about $4,000, dollars in cash. and other va
liable articles. He immediately put the Off
GERS of the police in requisltion, and made
search for il; butno traces of il could be found,
and the pursuit was given up as hopeless. On
Sunday morning, the gentleman was walk
ing near Fulton market, he saw a porter in
Pearl-strcct, with trunk upon wheel bar
row, followed by another person as the owner.
As the Trojan's head was at that moment filed
with trunks, he was reminded of his own loss,
and immediately pursued the stranger, but with
out an expectation offnding his baggage. On
approaching nearer, he was astonishcd to Disco
yer his own truuk.-IIe carelessy followed the
porter, until he and his attendant had gone on
board the Brooklyn ferry boat, when he COM
'hnnicated the circumstances TO the captain,
who contrived TO keep the baggage, and its pre-
tended proprietor on board, until constable
was sent for, and both secured. The trunk had
moi been opened although the william had pro-
cured key for the purpose, and was about TO
examine his plumber at Brco<lyn.-N otwiti-
