To CHEROKEE CORRESPONDENTS.
Since the commencement of our labors,
1 we have not been able to insert as much
Cherokee matter, as might have been ex
pected, and desired, It may be, necessary
to state, that wre have devoted a good por
tion of our time to that part of our business,
and that if any of our Cherokee readers
think thdt we have slighted them, we can
lassure them that it has not been through
neglect, or for want of attention. Those
who know any thing of the duties devolving
upon ns, will acknowledge that we have a
heavy task, &. unless relieved by Cherokee
tor respondents, a greater amount of Chero
kee matter cannot be reasonably expected.
I We hope those of our correspondents, who
take a lively interest in the diffusion of in
telligence in their mother language, will
lend us aid in this department, and by far
-the most arduous part, of our labors*
CONGRESS.
SENATE,
REMOVAL OF INDIANS.
On motion of Mr. Benton,
The Senate proceeded to the considera
tion of a bill making appropriations to epa-
j ble the President of the United States to
[ilefray the expenses of a delegation of the
(Choctaw and Chickasaw nations of Indians
jto explore the country west of the Missis-
yrpi.
Mr. Benton explained the object, and
Supported th© policy of the measuve. The
States of Mississippi, Alabama, and others,
Sad, he said, a numerous Indian population,
who, in all wars, whether foreign, civil, or
servile, were ready to rise against those
States. It was desirable that these Indians
should be sent away. The measure was
for the benefit of the Indians no less than of
the States in which they now dwelt.
Mr. Cobb said, that although th" re-
f "marks made applied to the Creeks and Che-
jrokees, he dia not see that they were in
cluded in the bill. He moved to amend
lie bill by inserting, after the word Chick-
saws, “ Creeks and Cherokees.”
Mr, Ellis opposed the motion. It did
Hot appear that the Creeks and Cherokees
irere desirous of removing. They haft not
#sked to be removed. He honed the a-
lendment would not he pressed.
Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky said, the pro
position authorizes the President to send
agents, with three or four chief men of- the
Indian tribes, to explore the country west
Jifthe Mississippi, with a view to removal
aereafter. No coercion was proposed. If
Ihey liked the lands which they saw, they
Vght remove to them. The change of rc-
idence would greatly contribute to the
appiness and independence of the Indians,
[e hoped the amendment would be adopt
ed.
Mr. Cobb said he could not consent to'
withdraw the amendment. The govern
ment was bound by the obligations of a so-
emn compact, to remove the Indians from
lie State of Georgia. They had frequent
ofthe Creeks had been removed.. But they
were of the M’Intosh party. The hostile
party, who now wish to explore, will exam
ine for themsi Ives, rather than take the
place chosen by their enemies. With re
spect to the Cherokees, he doubted whether
they were willing to go. It was not his
wish to coerce any of them, He was sorry
they liad not been before removed. They
that they would enjoy perfect tran
quility; that they shouldbe relieved
from payment of capitatim and other
tributes which they owe since the be
ginning of the insurrections; that be
sides. in order to gratify the three
powers, they would he exempt from
might now have been placed in a comlorta- 1 all tribute lor the spa<c of one year;
ble situation. At present, they wore al
most in a state of starvation, They were
compelled to subsist on roots. It was said
that, in the woods they might lose their ci
vilization and become wild. Mr. K. Faid
that they had only contracted the vices of
civilization. The wild man of the woods,
he thought, had much more character than
the drunken and thievish hall-civilized In
dians.
The above remarks of Mr. King, discov
er notorious ignorance of the Cherokees.—
We should like to know where this honor
able Senator obtained his knowledge of our
wretched condition. The advocates of the
removal of the Indians seem to possess
and that all privileges jvhidh the con
dilion of Rayali3 allowed would be
granted them, but noth|ng beyond that
limit.
In the course of the conferences
the Sublime Porte earnestly request
ed the. Ambassadors to transmit to
their respective Courts those friendly
declarations and sincere explanations
promising that the armistice which
they had demanded would he observ.
ed until the answer should be receiv
ed. This invitation only served to in
crease their pride and their preten
sion. Finally, they declared that
means ofinformation, inaccessible to others. | , . ... ,

m as the privileges .vhiC.
rtous and national War. Let all the
’’ litliiul, rich or poor, great or smni
know that to tight is the duty of us all.
,.ct them not dream of a monthly pay
ir of any pay whatever; far fiom it, let
is sacrifice our property & our persons;
let us fulfil with zeal all the duties
which the honor of Islumism imposes
upon us; let us unite our eiforts, ami
labour with heart and soul for the
Imintainance of religion until the day
of j udgment. Mussulman have no oth
er means of obtaining salvation either
in this world or the next. We hope
that the Most High will vouchsafe to
confound and disperse in every quart
er the Infidels, foes to our religion &
our empire, and that in all times, in all
cases he will grant victory to the
Faithful. Our true position being
thus known to all Mussulmen, there
is no doubt that, if they have the least
faith and piety, they will also know
their duty; they will unite heart and
soul to maintain our religion and our
empire, as well as to insure their own
salvation in this world and the next;
and that if the occasion requires it,
they will discharge with zeal and val
or the varied functions of the war,
fulfil exactly the duties imposed
upon us by our holy law. Help
comes from God!
when it is sustained by sacli palpable ig
norance, we mean, of the condition of the
Indians generally. Will it not be best for
such men as Mr. King, to learn who these
Indians are, &, what is their real condition,
before they begin to legislate on their re
moval?

inportunities, of - removing them if they
Uiose, but they had refused to do it. He
Eouhl show four different occasions on
Hiich the Indians might have been remov-
rd: hut, on each* occasion, the government,
from policy, interest or other motive, neg
lected to do it. Justice to Georgia requir
ed that it should be done. Georgia paid to
Unitod Slates an immense consideration
for it, which made hfer poor. If the gov
ernment does refuse to comply with the
compact, it will show that the government
is not very closely pinched by the obliga-
ions which it takes upon itself , He would
place at the disposal of the President of the
Tinted States a large slim of money to en-
ble him to hold treaties, send out exploring
arties, and adopt all other proper means
i induce the Indians to remove. If this
bould be done, he would include all the In
niar.s. But he would not give a vote to
remove a single Indian until the removal of
those in Georgia had been provided for.-—
In Ohio, there were not more than 500 In-
lians. From Indiana Illinois and Missou-
^ nearly all the Indians had been removed.
These states came into the Union after
be compact was entered into with Geor
gia; and still, the Georgia Indians were
not removed. He knew not what impres
sion these things made on the Senate, but
he would assure gentlemen that thev made
deep impression on the people of Georgia.
If he could get the consent of those who had
|hc management of the bill, he would move
1 lay it on the table, with a view to alter
so as to authorize and enable the Presi
dent to take measures to induce the Indians
|o remove.
Mr. Branch asked if an agent was not
bow employed in conducting an exploring
►arty of the Creeks,
Mr. Kino said he would not enter into an
kxamination of the rightR ofGeorgia as con
tacted with this subject, Jj^e agreed that

should not be granted to the Greeks
inhabiting aneient\Greece, that is to
say the Morea, Attica, and the lsle3
of the Archipelago, and they announc
ed that they would depart all three,
together.
Thus have affairs come to this point.
If at present (God preserve us from
it!) after having witnessed such con
duct, and been asked such conditions,
we were to giveaway, and to concede
the independence of the Greeks, the
contagion would extend tot all Greeks
settled in Rimilia and Antolia without
the possibility of arresting the evii.
They would all pretend to the Same
independence; they would renounce
their duties as Rayahs and triumphing
in a year or two over the generous
Musselman nation; they would finish
one day, by suddenly imposing laws
upon us, (God preserve us from it!)
and the ruin of our religion and ou<
empire would be the inevitable result.
Whilst, thanl s to God! the numerous
provinces of Europe and Asia are fill
ed With an immense Mussulman pop
ulation, does the sacred book and
does our laws permit us, through fear
of war, to let our religion be trodden
under foot, and to deliver ourselves to
the Infidels from hand to hand, our
country, our wives, our children, our
goods, and our property?
Though, in the origin, the whole
world was in the poiver of infidels,
nevertheless, at the birth of the true
religion. God, aiding ihe faithful, our
Mu8selinen brothers, who have ap
peared & disappeared since the happy
time of our Great Prophet, up to this
day, through the effect of their sin
cere devotion and unconquerable
courage, thought nothing of the num
ber of the Infidels. United in heart
for the defence of religion, how many
thousand times have they not put
thousands of Infidels to the sword? how
many provinces and states have they
not thus conquered sword in hand? As
often as we shall be united like them,
and that we shall affront battles for
the glory of God, the Most High will
enlighten us with his inspiration, and
our holy Legislator will cover us with
his tutelary aegis; his absent compan
ions will become our guiaes; and who
can doubt, under their auspices, we
should not gain the most brilliant vic
tory ?
If the three Powers when they see
us determined, as in the past, to re
ject their vain demands, accept our
answers, and our explanations, and
desist from the Greek affair, it will
be well- If, on the contrary, they
should persist to force us to acce. t
their demands, even though, accord
ing to their traditon which says, that
all the Infidels compose but one nation
they should all league themselves a-
gainst us, wc would re oinmend our
selves to God—we would place our
selves under the protection of our Ho
ly Prophet, and united for the defence
of religion and empire, all the Viziers
all the Ulemas, all the Bidgals, and
'erhnps. even all Mussulmen, wouli
lonn hut one single corps.
This war is not, like all formei
wars, a political conflict to acquire
provinces or to settle frontiers. The
Ajeet of the Infldals is to annihilate
slnm sm, and trend under foot the
Mussulman nation. It must, there-

The British Army.—On the 22d the
nrmy and ordnance estimates were
’-eferred to a committee of Finance,
in which Lord Palmerston’s motion
was agreed to, that, 91,075 men be

iry for the ensuing year, exclusive of
that reouired for the service of the
East India company. A diminution
of 5,000 men has taken piece from

THE TURKISH MANIFESTO.
(extracted.) (
The three powers, having openly
violated subsisting treaties, and de
clared war, the Sublime Porte had
a right to retaliate and to aet other
wise than it has done towards the
Ambassadors, tbe subjects, and the
vessels which were in this place. But
the ministers of those ihroo powers
have endeavoured to justify them by
declaring that it was the commanders
of the impel ial (Turkish) fleet who
had been the cause of the battle, the
Sublime Porte, considering the cir
cumstances. remained still silent, and,
by a last effort of policy, invited th.
three ambassadors to abandon nlfo
gether the affairs of Greece. Deaf
to the voice of justice, those Infidels
did not cease to require that thei
demand respecting the independence
of Greece be admitted such as had
been made. It may even be said thn 1
their solicitations became more press
ing. In a word the hostile Intentions
of the Franks against Islamism became u i,,,,*,.

Mehemet A!i will not be suffered to
float his swarthy bands to Greece or

in the combat they must cross the
desert, and inarch the whole exter

Constantipople is one vast camp
immense chains have been forged
to protect the entrance to the Dar
danelles—the whole naval strength of
Turkey guards the Bosphorus, and
warlike preparations resound on eve
ry side. Mahmoud has dared as yet
no act of hostility; h< seems resolved
not to strike the first blow; but lists
of proscription have issued, which in
clude 1500 French, and British and
Russian subjects. The Charges d -
Affaires of the Neutral Powers pro
tested against this tyanny, but in vain.
It is a question, however, whether
the lives of the Europeans would be
safe on the arrival of the Asiatic
horde? Those ruflian bands in 1820
spread murder and pillage along their
whole line of march—they massacred
without mercy in Smyrna and Con
stantinople, and it is therefore better
that the subjects of the three Powers
should be deported than remain at the
risk of being butchered in cold blood.
Russia is not insensible to these pro
ceedings. Wittgenstein is concentra
ting his force, and the Polish army,
the elite of the Russian troops, is in
march to the Pruth.
Poland now forms the van of Russia;
her natioual existence has been recog
nized; she bas her own laws her own
language, and her territory free from
the charge of other troops; she has
obtained a great diminution of her im
posts. ai d her revenue is applied to
the improvement of her own soil, and
♦ he reparation of her sufferings; thus
some slow atonement is made for the
horrors of Prague—the massacres of
Sowarrotv, and the tyranny of Ropnin.

Poland, and tbe Bclhis will feel the

remain passive on tbe Northern front-
