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. | , . ... , ■. , , ... . i they would consent todiothing so long 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? 16 I- e- I, at SC FU ie rtf be It )n ;d iit tt tal an ott 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 tsft—eny jc-avoa Jtirji«ay yf.Fw* tt.vy ascsiwYJ LfwfB*ioP £tp aolo-iof. i£<®yii D4*V , *V Ay.

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.

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 ’ opt up as the land force of the coun- iry for the ensuing year, exclusive of that reouired for the service of the East India company.

Nor will the Ottoman be suffered to make a slaughter-house of Greece, now that our troops are about to be withdrawn from Portugal. We should not be surprised if, with the consent of our Allies, a British force to the same a- mount was sent to clear the Morea of any remnant of the barbarians, and secure Afica and the Peleponncsus a- gainst attack. The policy of such an expedition must, however, be gover nedby circumstances.” Turkish Prophecy.—The following, extracted from a book of prophesied called Mahomedans, is held in vene ration by the Turks: The Turkish Emperor shall conquer Rome, and make the Pope, Patriarch of Jerusa*- lem: and he shall, some time after, profess the Mahomedan faith. Christ shall then come, and show the Chris* tians their error in not having accept* ed the Alcoran, and instruct them that the dove which came down from beav ven was not the Holy Ghost, but wall Mahomet, who shall be. again upon earth thirty years, anil confirm the Alcoran by new miracles. After that time the power of the Turks shall de cline, till they retire to the Desert of Arabia, and then there shall be an end of the world. Their overthrow shall be accompplished by a people f ora the North, Called Camicks or yellow* hnird sons.

( 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,,,,*,. evident.

But Mehemet A!i will not be suffered to float his swarthy bands to Greece or Southern Turkey; if his Arabs mingle in the combat they must cross the desert, and inarch the whole exter of Syria and Asia Minor. 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. The Turk is the ancient enemy of Poland, and tbe Bclhis will feel the • ances of the Uhlnrs. Turkey may remain passive on tbe Northern front- iei'j and try to overwhelm Greece; Ynun<r Napoleon.—The young Na poleon is an interesting youth beauti fully formed, with the countenance and fine-cut lips of his father, and ihd blue eves of his mother.
