PASSING STRANGE!!!--The Gazette has
corrected one of thousand Of has falsehoods. He
acknowledges like his worthy. uncle Duff Green,
(of North Room memory )--s' that there was
+. ror in the statement made by us time since,
6 that the Major General (Cooch) of this State had
g acted in an improper manner at the polls" Now
this is noble n the Gazette, but should he continue
to correct erroneous Statements it will be necessary
for him to enlarge his sheet One hours inspection
of his papers since this time last year would furnish
labor for his prolific penfor week at least. This
Ihe is bound to do'' As truth and Justice only are
and haze been the object Of has aim! Ifthese have
been the object of his aim, the Corporal must be a
very Indifferent marksman he fires very wide Of
the mark indeed
| Why does the Gazette pass the matter over thus
smoothly why not say the whole was base false
hood, instead saying there in the state
neat--why not acknowledge the fact, if he really
penned the base article himself taken from the little
tatle of his associates. Or ifcommunicated by any
person assuming the character of Gentleman, give
his name to the public, that he might be held up as
an object of scorn; base assassin of character
No, this would not answer, it might deter other
worthy correspondents from the same course, and
thus deprive the paper of one its most fruitful sources
of information, for effect shall look on this &C Cor
recion,' as one of the meanest of the mean things
the Gazette has lately been guilty Of unless he gives
the author ofthis base slander on the Major Gene
raj to the public. CASTlGATOR.

NEWS FROM GEORGIA.

Bulletin of the Corps ofthe Caucasus-On the 29th
of july the Naib of Furdabad, nominated to this Of
fee, by General Paske witch, having given notice
that considerable body of Persian cavalry was pre-
pairing to attack him. the General in order TO insure
the defence of the inhabitants fthe country and at
the same time take measures suitable to his posi-
ilon Immediately despatched Major General Prince
Vadbolsky, with the regiment of infantry of Tfs,
two regiments of fCossacks of the Black Sea, and six
pieces of cannon, with orders to arrive at Oardabad
on the 3lst of July to employ the LIST OF August IN
putting every thing in order, and TO return on the 3D.
On the other hand, Ekhsan Khan, Naib of Nakhit-
|chevan, entirely to preserve Ourdabad from every
attempt Of the enemy, offered to assemble there IA
part OF the former battalion of Sarbazans Of Max
hitcheyan, which General Paskewitsch engaged to
furnish with the necessary arms, ordering Prince
Vadbolsky to distribute among them four hundred
muskets taken from the Perslans, and to q We them
piece Of cannon, four and half FOUNDER, taken
at Abbas Abad.
! On the same day, thirty-fve Georgian Wagon
drivers who had deserted, arrived at the headquar-
ters; they were sent to General Paskewltsch, by
Abbas Ally, Sultan Of ladjne, one of the Elders Of
the Sharowls, a circumstance which proves the at
tachment ofthat Sultan TO Russia. With the excep-
ton of the Khusen Regimen Of Grenaders four
pieces of light artillery, and hundred and twen-
Ity Cossacks, forming the garrison Of Abhas Abad
all the troops ofthe principal corps were collected
, on the 4th of August, at Karababa, where the eli
mate is infinitely BETTER may be inferred from the
daily decrease of the number of sick. On the 9Th
August, the detachment of Major General Prince
lVadbolsky arrived from Ourdabad and joined the
principal corps

convoy at the Court of Persia to MIR. Straord Canning
transmitted the Of great victory gained by the Rus

Delaware journal., 1827-11-02
From the London Courier, Sept. 22.


Our negotiations with the Porte are drawing to-
wards close, and the next advces from Consanti-
nople will apprse us, either that the Sultan has re-
cedea from his determination to refuse all interte-
renee, OF that the Allied Powers have given the me-
cessary instructions for carrying into effect the trea-
ty ofthe 9Th July.
We think the latter more likely nasmuch as the
period fixed for receiving the reply of the Ottoman
Government had expired, when the last message left
Constantinople, and the answer then given was a
firm and perenptory refusal to accept the proffer-
ed mediation. 1t is hardly to be supposed that the
Ambassadors of England, France and Russia, would
afterwards attempt to reopen the negotiation !;
Though the great object of their Governments
is to bring about amicabe arrangement, should
the Sultan, when he found them preparing to quit
his capitol, make any such overtures HIMSELF they
would of course, declare their readiness receive
them
1.-THE question we are now discussing, related 10
any other European Government than that of Tur-
key, we should say, the die cast for it would
be fairly presumable that adecisoD had been delbe-
rately adopted from which every feeling of national
dignity and honor forbade it to recede. But when
we consider what this Power is--how little it is in
huenced by considerations which operate upon other
States and how utterly incapable it is of successful
lily opposing itself to the united power three Mon
arches with whom it is at issue, we can hardly per-
suade ourselves it would have gone even so far as i
has, if it calculated only upon its own strength ant
resources A few days, however, will enable us tt

lbrahim is still at Modon. The troops Of the Ser
asker divided into six bodies, but being all de-
ached in different directions, they have been beaten
by the Greek guerlas, who have penetrated as far
as Thebes. The garrison of Athens has been con-
siderably diminished, and it is in such weak state,
that if the Greeks could muster the necessary means,
they might attack it with the happiest success.
In general the affairs Of Greece have changed their
appearance for the better. We expect soon to have
some important news from the side of Thessay,
where General Church is going to join the Chiefs OF
Olympus, who have already occupied Thermopyle.
The troops of the Seraskier will thus be deprived of

Turkish arms, and settling the conditions other fl
ture relationship to Turkey. This note prescribed
Ia period OF Is days, whea the answer Of the Grand
'Seignior would be expected.
I'd. That on the 30th of August, when the allot-
ted period might be looked upon as having expired,
the three ambassadors demanded, through their dro-
gumcn the reply of the Refs Efendi, who gave it
verbally and in decided language referred to the
late Turkish manifesto, declaratory of fixed reso-
luton to reject all interference of foreign powers be-
tween the porte and her rebellious subjects fur
ther, that on the 5lst. repetition of their message
by the Christian ministers produced confirmation
of the Turkish resolve.
Sd. That on the 4th instant the ambassadors of
the allies met and not having received any further
satisfaction from the Porte, came to the determine
ton of requiring their passports, and leaving the
Turkish capitol This last act, however, must be
understood to require confirmation.
Upto this period, then,it appears that the dispute
with Turkey far from being settled and it re-
mains to be seen whether the decided tone assumed,
by the ambassadors would bring from the porte any
redeeming message Of nature to reopen the nego-
cations Some expectation seems to be entertain
ed that Austria and Prussia, who have hitherto been
no parties to the quarrel, and are therefore we'll
adapted for the character of mediators, may, for
the sake of preserving peace in Europe. for the
first time interpose, and prevent by their good offices
the threatened rupture.
