The contest for Speaker ot the House ,

ty-two ballots were had before a choice
♦ere made. We consider however, with
the National Intelligencer, that the re-
Suit is by no means indicative either of ,
' length or hostility of partias. ]
The Preaident’s Message is such a doc. - ■ ]

from an enlightened Chief Magistrate.- .

In relation to the Florida Treaty, it is
to be regretted, that no more satisfactory ,
information baa been receievd. The de. «
liberations of the government of Spam
’ on this subject, it will be seen, had not
been received by our government; but .
was daily expected, it is highly proba- |
ble however, from the sanguine and con
fident manner in which our Minister has
- expressed himself, that our affairs with
Spain will be honorably and profitably ad
justed before the termination of the pre
sent session of Congress.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.
“Milledgeville, November 24.
Mr; Upson's resolutions were now i n
order to he heard; but in consequence of
the unfortunate death of Mr. bpaxwxo,
which has just been announced, the House
will adjourn until to-morrow; at which
• time, I preaume, they will be taken up.
Enclosed you have a copy of the Gover
nor’s Communication, in conformity to a
•, fesoiunv- originating iu the House,
touching the state and condition of our
Banks.
, v
Executive Defabtueht, Gxonota.
Milledgeville, 22d November, 1820.
To the Non, the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives,
In reply to your resolution of the 18th
inst: requesting information to be hud be
fore the General Assembly, touching the
state and condition of the Banks of the
State of Georgia, I have the honor of stat
ing, that there are no Documents in this of
fice affording the information requested.
Such facts, however, us. may be in my
possession, in regard to the subject of
your Resolution, I deem it not improper to' 1
communicate. ' i
Since the adjournment of the last Le
gislature, proceedings have occurred be
tween the Branch of the United States’
Bank at Savannah, and the local Banks of j
that city, which have resulted'in the inju
ry and embarrassment of the latter. The |
measures of the former institutions seem ,
to have been taken with a view to univer- (
•al monopoly; and to have been prosecu- j
tC with a singular hostility ugaiuut state
corporations. According to the locality
ami present organisation of both, we have
found out selves in an unequal contest.
it appears that the United States*
Branch, by its connexion with the Treas
ury ot the Union, becomes the depository
ot urge sums of revenue collected at the
port of Savannah, and of funds deriv- 1
eu from the sales of western lands. In !
addition to this, specie payments are not
demandabie except at the principal Bank '
*c Philadelphia:—with these advantages,
o United titates* Bank, through the me
mm of her Branches, has practised to
wards us a course of conduct, if not
ir h ’ i“ l l e . ilSt °PP reSj uve and palpably
i 1 I his conduct bus consisted,
not only , n heavy aml repealed demands
o specie payments, but also of daily set- <
•einuits;—-some of these demands are >
understood to have been met, and others '
a-Uyed, or totally resisted. The State I
hi* V* t ' lown a considerable time to |
,j u declined Discounting, and 'o have i
emanded reductions upon its out aland- '
■?, ‘kkts. If its affairs haie been regulat- | i
•X P»o'isions of its charier, and <

ln l he uxercise of this
™ * Anct ano scrutinizing mveatigatio n
i*a annually made of the state of the Tret*
urj: with the more pcofwety should
anch scrutiny investigation be extend
ed to the Banks——in which the lar
gest portion of our Treasury is
vested. To facilitate these enquiries, and
to afford further protection against the
encroachments of the Bank of the United
States, I have taken the liberty of sugges
ting the propriety of removal of the Da
rien Bank to the seat of Government. If
the like arrangements were extended to
the Slate Bank, 1 should have no doubt
ofthe greater propriety of such a moas
urc—Branches might he retained at Sa
vannah and Darien, sufficient for all the
individual anil convenient purposes of the
citizens of those nlaces.
The UaiiK »f Augusta is understood to
have oeen exempt from any interference
on the part of the Bank of the United
States; nnd its concerns are prosperous.
The Bank of Darien, howaver, has been
called on for specie payments to a large
amount—Some of these calls have been
met, and in regard to others, delay has
been applied for. The Bank has, never
theless, continued ns discounts, and now
supplies a large portion of the circulating
medium es the state. These statements
and suggestions are considered as fit
subjects of reference to the Legislature,
that efficient measures mav be taken, if
considered necessary, ter the security
and protection of the corporation to
which they relate-
