tenders its sincere thanks for tins modest
pledge -of unknown charity.
SVAXm^mERICA.
The confused and contradictory de
tails of the-conflict between Spain and
her revolted colonies havo so obstructed
the channel of correct information, that
we are unable to form the most remote
conjecture of their relative situation. This
stale of uncertainty, which has marked
the progress ofthe contest, naturally de
taches a considerable portion ofthat inter
est from .the struggle, which it v. ould
otherwise excite. No matter in what
ca. se the sympathies of tire heart may
be enlisted, the moving principle loses*
imperceptibly its interest, as long as the
object continues to be enshrouded in the
gloom of falsehood apd conjecture.
It is owing to causes like these, that
wc generally turn away with loathing'
from the silly and inflated accounts, of
the Revolution in Spanish America, with
which our papers abound. We have
now before us an Article from 'Caraccas,
which States that the civil war in Mexico
has completely terminated, through the
influence of a general amnesty granted
to the Insurgents by Ferdinand—that,
Galzada, a Royalist, I tad gainod -a com
plete victory over Pnuz, who lost 400
men killed, 500 prisoners, 9000 horses,
and all his camp equipage. The ac
counts from Curaccoa, appear equally
favorable to the Royalists, staling the
entire discomfiture of the Patriots at
Guira. Advices from the Patriots, on
the -other hand are diametrically oppo
site—claiming advantages equally as
great. Such is the complex and dis
tracted view we have of the state of
things in South-America—from which
the public mind can gathir nothing satis
factory or conclusive.
MUledgeville , Nuv. 18.
The proceedings of the Legislature
are beginning to assume an interesting
aspect. Many important subjects, (as
will be seen by reference to the synopsis,
in -this day’s paper, of what has been
done) are under consideration. Other
measures of equal magnitude, are in an
incipient state, and will be brought for
ward as soon as they can be matured.—
A spirit of harmony being generally che
rished by the members, unmeaning polit
ical distinctions, which disgust the ear
and pall upon the mind, have found no
resting place among them. All are equal
ly emulous to serve their country—all
vie with each other in zealous endeavors
to promote the public interest: And,
from the wise and liberal policy by which
many are governed, we indulge with
confidence the hope, that the present
session will constitute an rcra in the le
gislative annals of the state.
The passage of the bill in Senate, to
prevent the circulation of unchartered
notes, produced an animated discussion,
the substance of which will be published
in a future paper, being prepared for the
press at too late an hour to be inserted
in the present number. That bill, a copy
of which we subjoin, is now before 1 *-
House of Representatives, where it will
probably be acted on to-day.-— -Journal.

Legislature of Georgia.
SENATE.
Thursday, 13 th November.
The joint committee to enquire into
the expediency of encreasing the sala
ries of the officers ofthe state, made the
following Report, which being read, was
ordered to lie on the table, to wit:
“ In executing the delicate duty which
has been assigned to us, your committee
are not unaware of the difficulties atten
ding it. Deep rooted prejudices exist a
gaiust the measure; and a laudable jea
lousy on the part of the people, renders
it always unpleasant to their representa
tives to propose an increase of pay to the
officers of government. Necessity only
should authorise, or can justify such a
proceeding: and your committee having
duly consiAwed the subject, will not
shrink from the responsibility of declar
ing it as their decided opinion, that at
this time it is absolutely necessary, that
some further provision should be made
for the functionaries of the state.
Your committee would be wholly a
verse to such an increase of compensation,
as might enable the incumbents to amass
large fortunes from the public treasury:
but it cannot be denied, that where the
serv ices of an individual are required to
be devoted to the state, a salary com
mensurate at least, to the comfortable
support of himself and family, should fc*v.
gWcn. Thai such is not the case at rr-1
settt, is fully clcmonsUatnl i,y daily cx
peri«nce. Men of the lis si talent* sui*
respectability arc compelled to retire
from the public service, oniy because
a just regard to their domestic concerns
imperiously requires it of them, itistruo
that persons can always be found
to fill the public offices, at the preset
salaries: but it is not true that the best
abilities of the country arc brought into
operation by them.
Patriotism enough does exist, to make
the compensation but a secondary consi*
deration with many, but ought a state to
require that the best of its members
should be rained in the service of their
country ?
Economy in government rigidly under
stood, consists in such a liberal applica
tion of the public means, as will insure
the able and faithful performance of it*
duties: if it falls short of this, the desir
able end is not attained, ami that which
was intended lor economy di generates
into a ruinous parsimony. '
But if the present salaries, ever were
sufficient, it is evident that (hey cannot
be so now; every article of subsistence ha,?,
doubled and in many instances trebled in,
value recently, insomuch (hat what might
have been considered heretofore as an
adequate compensation to the %icers of
the government, is barely a pittance at
this period of time.
Your committee therefore fee) no he
sitation in recommending the adoption of
the following resolution by the Legisla*-
ture—
Resolved, that it is expedient, to in
crease the salaries of the officers of the
government.”
