HIS Ercellency, John Reynolds, Coz. Of Ill.,
SIR:-In answer to your circular of the 18th
Inst. addressed the State Treasurer, as acting
Cashier of the Principal Bank of the State Of
Illinois, and the Cashiers Of the several Branch
Banks.
have the honor to make the following report,
that the Books of the principal Bank, have not
yet come to my hands, consequently am barred
from answering you in full
But state that all the individual notes handed
over BY the late Treasurer, drawn in favor of this
Bank have been put into the hands of the Ator-
ney General and States Attorneys for collection,
under the provisions of a law of this State upon
that subject, approved Odd January, 1929, with
the exception of $40 30 which have collected
since said notes were handed to me; the amount
put into the attorneys hands for collection is
1888 O5, on which think 1T probable there will
not be collected more than $500 90, on account
of some of them having been paid previous to
their being handed over to me, and some of the
parties not being able to make payment. All of
which respectfully submit
Ihave the honor to be,
With much respect,
Your humble servant,
JOHN DEMENT,. Treas'r.

FROM THE CAPE DE
VERD ISLANDS.

Nv the arrival at this port on Saturday after
noon of the schooner Fredonia, Capt. RIDER, III
80 DAYS from Port Praya, we learn that univer-
sal famine extends through the whole group Of
these once truly Verdan. Islands.
Three years have now elapsed since they have
been visited with rains in any considerable guam
titles. The land n the mean time has become
parched aud unfit for cultivation, and has yielded
little or nothing to repay the toll of the cutiya-
tor. The season for the crops Of the present
year has nearly gone by, and the seed remained
in the earth without signs of coming to MATURE
ty unless it should be speedily visited by copous
rains. The Trees and all kinds Of vegetation are
whitening and passing away
Most of the ANIMALS in the Islands have died
from starvation, and those that remain are of no
service TO the inhabitants. they hardly having
strength sufficientto sustain their famished bodies.
1t would be difficult to present to the reader an
adequate idea of the horrid condition in which the
inhabitants were placed when Capt. Rider sailed.
AT every port at which he stopped. the utmost
misery existed among all classes. 1t was no nm
common thing to see women and children gath
ering from the streets, old bones that had been
thrown away and eagerly devouring them.
The inhabitants of Isle of May and Bonavist
have the advantage OF the salt trade, and they
procure some provisions from vessels that stop
there, particularly the whaling and sealing ves-
sels But most of the other islands have not this
small advantage.
The inhabitants have been dependant so long
for subsistence upon the little property they had
accumulated, that they are exceedingly poor, and
unable to purchase provisions. The supply they
obtain from vessels is distributed gratultuously
A ship fror New Bedford touched at Bravo, and
left quantity of provisions that ''od been volun-
'srily sent TO heir relief

ErThe "Fayette County Bible Society," will
hold called meeting at the church, next Fri~
day evening, at o'clock.
CHoLERA.--The committee appointed by a
8meeting OF the citizens of this place held last
week, to condense and embody information on
The subject of the cholera, to be circulated in a
handful form, make the following recommended
tons The advice is substantially the same as
that contained in DR.. Drake's letters heretofore
published.
Admonished by the near ap-
preach of the Malignant Cholera,
the citizens Of Vandalia, called a
meeting to deliberate upon the
propriety of adopting measures to
put the citizens of the town and
surrounding country upon their
guard, when they appointed the
undersigned committee to con
dense and disseminate such infor-
nation as they deemed necessary,
to prepare the citizens for an at
tack OF the disease, which may be
daily expected. We therefore,
having taken the subject under
consideration, and having collect
ed as much of the information af-
forded by the experience of en-
inent physicians in other places
as came to our knowledge, earn
estly recommend the strict obser-
vance of the following advice:
l. That no one should get
drunk; that habitual drunkards
should drink no more than will
keep up the strength and tone of
their systems; and that the tenn
perate should not resort to ardent
spirits as a preventive.
9. That in diet, we should live
as heretofore, abstaining more es-
pecially from those things which
we have known to disagree with
us.
8. That we should avoid the
rain and night air, keep our rooms
dry with fires, lodge warm, and
dress as much as possible in wool
lens.
4. That we should not irritate
our systems with medicine while
we feel well.
5. That no one on any account
should neglect the lax or disor-
dered state of the bowels, which
in almost every case precedes the
spasms and vomiting; and which,
if neglected, will surely be follow
ed by fatal symptoms. He who
is attacked with the bowel COM
plant, however slight, should i'm
mediately battle his feet and take
to his bed; drink herb tea and
cruel, (abstaining from all other
food,) put poultice of mush or
bitter herbs over his bowels, take
aspowder composed Of ten grains
of calomel and half grain of
opium every two hours until the
arrival of a physician.
+. And lastly, let every family
be provided with camphor, Gallo
mel, and opium, put up by ply
stefan with directions for using
them, as well as red pepper,
ground mustard, bricks, to be-
made hot, or bottles filled with
hot water, and a quantity ofmint.

SIR:-I have the honor to inform you, thai the
memorials mentioned in the enclosed paper have
passed the General Assembly of this state.
And it is pleasure for me further to inform
you that the people of the state of Illinois feel
deep interest IN the improvement of the Wabash

ana in said improvements, 8, far as the means in
the power of the state will Justify.
The two states have the same common interest
in the Improvement Of the Wabash river and

efficiently, for the god of bdh. will do all in

my duty to the people of this state.

MIAMI lNDIANs-No TREArY.-On Tuesday
the 25th ut. the Miami Indians In Council, in.
formed the Commissioners, in the most definite
terms, that they would not sell one foot of their
lands, and all the subsequent efforts of the Com.
missioners to induce them to change that deter
mination have proved abortlvs The Indians
gave no reason for their conduct only, that their
lands we're good and they wished to keep them
The negotiation has ended, and the Commission.
ers left the Treaty Ground on the 2Sth. The
result of the Treaty has disappointed many, and
the conduct of the Indians is very mysterious,
they having, for one or two years past, been very
DESTROYS to hold treaty for the purpose of sell
ling their lands. The citizens of the Upper Wa
bash are peculiarly situated in regard to these In
dams, who are constantly depredating upon their
property, stealing their hogs and killing their cat
tie, without making them any thing like fair
reeompense. The extenton of the State laws
over the Indian tribes, within the limits of hdi.
ana, seems now to be matter of such urgent ne.
cessity, that it meets the appreciation of many in
teligent gentlemen of all parties, and we have
little doubt that the Governor will recommend
and the next Legislature adopt the measure.
An attempt will be made to treat with the Pot
awatamies in few days, and it is to be hoped
that better success may attend the effort-Indi-

the disease is contagious which has doubtless
many from receiving proper attention

At St. Louis, Cincinnati and Louisville, the
fatality of the disease is sensibly diminished, es-
oecially at St. Louis. At that place but four
deaths were reported during the "a hours previous
