the public, not to give away to excessive terrors
and mental agitation because the Cholera is

"To Smyrna to kill so0O." After a time,

EROM CANTON

The n Y. Journal of Commerce has papers by
the Clemas from Canton, to the LIST November
terrible gale, or Typhon, occurred on the Odd
september. An official return communicated TO the
authorities of Canton states that after it was past.
one thousand four hundred and fire dead bodies were
picked up along the coast. The following particu-
lars are copied from the Canton Register of Oct t.
Early i'll the morning of the Odd ult the com
mencement of a hard northerly gale which conn-
ued without intermisson for "a hours, was felt in
Canton. The tide rose to great height, overflow
ing the banks of the river and covering the space in
front and the ground of the foreign factories to n
considerable depth. Much damage was sustained
III our immediate vicinity, the river and several
of the larger craft Chop-boats, Tea-boats, Flower
boats, NC, were broken, swamped, or driven on
shore; but we are happy to be able announce that
none of tue large fleet now at Whampoa received
any injury.
r. 5. We find, bynumerous communications re-
celved from correspondents at Macao and Cap-see-
moon, that the gale far more severely felt i'm the
neighborhood of those places; where its fury reach
ed the height which is, i'll China, emphatically called
a fa-toong Its greatest strength seems to have
been felt at Macao: it is described as having there
been truly dreadful, and the account of damage
done bears ont the assertion oft correspondent, who
writes us from Macao, that "such scene of desc
laton has not been presented by any gale that has
occurred for the last 80 years."
The greatest force of the wind was at the
highest point of one of the highest tides. The
column of water that dashed against the Praya
Grande was tremendous. The largest stones and
slabs of granite hurled against the doors
OF the houses on the beach, and soon forced
them open. The quay before the English Fac
tory, and TO the westward; was completely wash
ed away, together with part of the foundation of
the verondah, one pillar of which FILL and was fol-
lowed by the floor and roof which it supported. The
devastation in and around Macao seems in fact to
have been universal; many houses were unroofed
and walls blown down by the force of the wind in
addition to the damage caused by the sudden inroad
OF so vast ~ body of water was forced into the
Bay, The crop of Rice in tile ground was swept
away-tbe injury will be no doubt felt for a great
length of time.
Many passage boats, and some OF the fast boats re-
guary employed between Canton and Macao are
known to be lost. In ono Junk alone fifty or sixty
people perlshed, and it is feared that an European
was among the number Two boats were wrecked
at the South Bay, Macao, but the people were saved
we are glad 10 hear ihata subscription for tie starry
ing families has been set ON foot by the Chief of the
British Factory Great numbers of dead bodies
have been cast Shore and are told that AT least
hundred and fifty were left by tho sea between Gu
IN Branca and the Joss-house The loss i'm native
fishing boats is very great; above hundred arc sup
posed TO DC lost from Macao alone

THE TARIFF.--In the House of Representatives
ofthis State, Monday last, Mr. Jarvis called up
the resolutions respecting the Tariff which had been
laid on the table some days previous. The federal
members made several propositions for amendments
and dcay-but this old game of our opponents was
very properly cut short by call for the previous
question. Mr.. Fcsscnden moved for the yeas and
nays, sustaining this call, and they were ordered
Yeas 79-nays 80. The resolves, which we sub
join, were then passed to be engrossed by vote of
81 to So
Resored, That in the opinion of he Legislature of this
State the approach OF the period when the National
Debt will be cxnguhcd, renders il not only proper but
necessary that the present Tariff be so reduced tina,
the accrung shall be more than sufficient
for the expenditures OF the Government.
Resoired, That the reduction OF the duties on imports
especially ON those articles which consumed by the
aboring class OF the community, would relieve the people
OF the u States from the burthen imposed upon them BY
the present unequal, unjust and oppressive Tariff system
and would tend TO restore harmony 10 the Union.
Rcsoired, That copy Of these Resolutions be trans
United TO each member OF the delegation of this State IN
Congress and that the Senators from this State be in
struced and the Representatives requested procure
modification of the existing Tariff, conform 10 the
views expressed in the foregoing Resolu,ions.-H.

Important and Irue-The Council of Chiefs
OF the Creek Nation held near this town. has inst
terminated. This Council as we remarked in the
last Enquirer, was convened to deliberate on the
terms of n treaty recently proposed by the United
States, through one ofthe Creek Delegation at WASH
Ington. The result ofthe meeting has been, that
the Delegation now at the seat of Government has
been increased, which additional number with the
United States Agent, Col. Crowell, passed through
this town on the LIST nst on their way TO Washing
ton The entire Delegation is vested with full pow
er to dispose ofthe territory now in the occupancy
of the Greeks i'm Alabama.
We are appraised of the particular terms on which
the Delegation is authorised to conclude a treaty.
We understand that the Government acquesced in
the propley of granting reserves i'm fee simple of one
mile square, TO such heads of families as chose to re-
main and submit TO the laws of Alabama 1t was
stipulated, too we believe, by the Government that
these reserves whenever the proprietors desired to
emlgrate, should be valued by four Indians and n
White man, a commissioner to be designated by the
United States. The prevailing impression is, that
the Delegation is instructed to take reserves for the
use of such Indians averse to abandoning the
Creek country.-Enqui,er.
