Wisbaden, (Ger.) April 3. An event as deplorable as extraordinaryhas thrown our city, the most important place in the duchy of Nassau, into consternation. We possessed, as it is well known, an admirable spring of hot water, which supplied our baths. These, which were considered among the most salutary in Germany, drew here evcry year a considerable num- ber of foreigners and strangers. For the convenience of our illustrious visitors we had been constructing a large edifice, destined to receive 80 new baths. The work was finished; and, in

order to bring the water necessary to supply these baths, they dug an aqueduct and a well, which was to draw its waters from the principal hot spring. But, suddenly, this magnificent spring ceased to flow. The source was probably deranged by the digging, and the waters have dispersed themselves in some other way into the bosom of the earth. Expresses have been despatched in all directions, to communicate this sad intelligence. His royal highness the duke of Nassau, who arrived in haste from his residence at Biberich, visited the spot, and sought to quiet the distressed inhabitants. But the latter say, they would rather have seen the whole city of Wisbaden in flames than lose their hot spring. The newly dug acqueducts and the well have been filled up without delay but the old fountain has nevertheless remained dry, and our spring his disappeared. All the scientific men in the neighborhood have been summoned to give their opinion, and we await, with the most lively impatience, the result of their conferences, in hopes that some remedy may be found to our evil. From the Philadelphia Gazette.

Extract of a letter dated GIBRALTAR, MAY 12, 1820. "Quirago and Riego, together with a few others, have thus far received many marks of distinction from his majesty's hands. They have been named Field Marshal's, and selected as aids-de-camp to the king. But it is not known that they have positively accepted. They pretend to say they ask no favor of government, seeing that they have done no more than their duty, &c. &c. with a variety of other high-minded sayings, to be met with in Don Quixotte's chivalric proceedings." We should like to know from whence the above proceeded, and why the contemptuous sneer against a virtue which to be sure is not much in fashion-- disinterested patriotism has been permitted to occupy a place in the columns of our republican papers without a comment, or a single mark of disapprobation. It may indeed appear Quixotic enough to some of our state brokers and lobby agents, to some of our judges, and even to our governor, that any men in their senses should be content with having performed a duty without receiving their pay for it; and no doubt many of cur good citiwho still retain a profound respect for the favors of crowned heads and all the Trumpery

of aristocratic distinction, may think it "passing strange" that men should be found to prefer the favor of the people to that of a king. Some of our military too, (we mean militia military) who sigh after the distinction of a brevet, and hold an epaulette in most reverend estimation, may cast up their eyes in wonder at the Quixottes who . are mad enough to slight the honors of Field Marshal and Aid-de-campl But it does not become us, as republicans, nor does it accord with the feelings of the great majority of our countrymen, to hold up to ridicule that which our ancestors taught the world to admire and respect, and which we (if we would preserve our standing as a nation) must not only advocate in theory, but display in practice. N. Y. Amer. BANKS OF SAVANNAH. Savannah, June 29. We understand from unquestionable authority, that the Planter's Bank, and the bank of the state of Georgia, having determined to take up the total amount of their notes held by the branch bank of the United States, located in this city, made the necessary enquiry for that purpose, and being informed that the branch bank had 105.000 dollars of the bills of the Planters bank, and 1,700 dollars of the bills of the bank of the state of Georgia, they have accordingly paid the whole amount the chief portion of which payment was in specie dollars. This determination, we learn, was the result of a suggested arrangement to the local banks, which was considered a furnishing evidence of a friendly desire on the part of the United States bank to have the difference existing between the banks accommodated. The Directors of the local institutions, in the expectation that the office of the U. States' bank here will be authorized to

issue its own notes, and thereby afford the opportunity of an exchange of paper, and bear its due proportion of specie responsibility will; the other banking in

stitutions; and thinking too, that the branch bank of the U. States, will now resume its accustomed or former operations,

and will not hereafter require settlcmcnts of the objectionable nature of the one which had occassioned the recent difficulty, were induced to pay, and have actually paid the total amount of their bills in the hands of the . branch bank of the U. States as above mentioned; thereby evincing, that their stand against the United States' bank was not made, because of their inability to pay the demands upon them, but from other considerations, involving principle, which they cannot relinquish. We had never for a moment, doubted the ability of the local banks to redeem their notes in the hands of the branch bank of the United States with Specie; but we have and do yet doubt, the propriety of the branch bank of the United States using the government funds (and particularly in a quarter of the country where so much is received and so little expended) to replenish their own vaults with specie, from the local banks, and to lessen the ability of every man to pay his engagements to the United States. If they can remit to the North at far, all the funds which they may receive in this section of

the country, on account of the United States (and that they can do so, there is very little doubt) they should be satisfied without

harassing the local institutions for daily settlemens in Specie. We will further observe that the state ot Georgia being a large Stockholder in all the local banks in the state, and deriving a handsome revenue therefrom, would take a deep interest in every thing connected with their prosperity and welfare; & while we should no doubt willingly concede to the bank of the United States, all which may fairly and properly belong to it, as a corporate institution, she would never tamely suffer her true interests to be unjustly invaded, from any quarter whatever. Much of the cause of the difficulties which have lately occurred, is in a great measure explained by the following quotation from the concluding paragraphs, in the celebrated Report of the secretary of the treasury (Mr. Crawford) to the

House of Representatives of the United States on the 24th of Februarv last, "on the condition of the bank of the United States and its officers," &c. &c. but which it will be seen is in part temporary, and furnishes better prospects in future to the local banks. He remarks, "in the west and in the south, the complaints of a deficient currency have been most distinctly heard. In the latter, these complaints are of recent date in both, they proceed in a greater degree from the disbursement cf tie public Revenue than from any other cause. The great mass of public expenditure is made to the east of this city (Washington.) The revenue accruing from imports, though principally collected in the eastern and middle states, is paid by the great mass of consumers throughout the United States. That which is paid for the public lands, altho' in some degree drawn from every part of the Union, is principally paid by tbc citizens of the west and south. The greatest put of the Revenue accruing from the public lands, as well as that collected in the Southern states upon imports, has been transferred to the middle and eastern states to be cxpended. The necessity of making this transfer, arises from the circumstances, that the great mass of public debt is held in those stares, by foreigners, whose agents reside in them,

and from the establishment of dock yards and naval stations in

their principal ports.

this sun that Tose with such enviable refulgence in the horisoa of the literary world," has lost his centripetal force and "flown off in a tangent" to shed his lusture on other regions;" we have, therefore, nothing to fear from his influence. As to the art of taking "a precursory view ot deeds and events" that are past I have no inclination to detract any thing from the merit of the discovery. It is certainly a very ingenious invention. It appears however, I must confess, more like the invention of one of those excerttrick geniuses, the Irish, than it does like an American production. I believe that the sapient gentleman who made this discovery, might invent a meth od of foretelling what is past9 this, you know, would be of infinite advantage to those who expect to live fifty cr z hundred years tige. My eidevarj friend speaks of the license of an orator; I have heard of the license of a poet, but never betore, of that ot an orator. It is true, that, an orator may "soar above the frigid style of the historian;" that he may address the passions and feelings, as well as the judgment, of his hearers: but this does not consist in the monotonous pronunciation of a number of words of the same meaning, nor in huddling together a num. bcr of sonorous words without

any grammatical agreement or connexion; both are alike disgusting. i have no claim to the honor of having discovered "that luminaries are satellites." All this honor belongs to the "sun that rose with such enviable retulgence in the horison of the literary world." He says, "they" (Perry and Decatur) "have left other satellites." Other must refer to something of the same kind, spoken of before. DocU Downey must be much obliged to his advocate. :In endeavoring to clear him ot the charge ot barbarisn he has

FOR THE REPUBLICAN. Messrs. Editzrs, 1 was much pleased at the appearance my ?uandam triend trude, in your last paper. Ke ha altered very surprisingly since I saw him last. Ke still, however, retains some of those awkward hahits, and uses scir.e of that vernacular dialect tor which he was so conspicuous in his youth. Notwithstanding all his advantages and improvements, he iicvs net yet know the difference between the perfect and imperfect tenses of a verb, nor between the singular and plural numbers of a pronoun; or at least, he use them indiscriminately. He says, 'T have been your only advocate, end was so from a consciousness tint your sentiments accorded with my own." 'How can one bear to sec another's brow, bound with wreaths of prauc whilst c is in the world themselves." It would give mc some pleasure to know what the antecedent of the pronoun, "they is in the next sentence. I wish to know from whom I am to expect ipplausc. I have been informed that

J know not which is deemed the highest oflence in the court of criticism; but I presume, the advocate who is so much in the practice of "dualizing crime" can tell to a nicety. He informs us that the hgure in which the tomb of Washington is compared to a whetstone, is borrowed from Shikepear. 1 assure the gemliii3ii, that, .1 hive not been able to find it. None but Hibrni.m optics bright. Can see what ii iairly out of sight." I don't think I shall "dirfjr" much with my old friend. I shall always endeavor to "treat him fairly in all our discussions." 1 certainly have no inclination to da "Otherwise" . RUSilCUS. August 7th 1820.
