It has been slated here that in conse quence of James Rogers, of Arkansas, having used indirect and underhanded influence with James Spear's Brother and Sister, who are under age, to in duce them to emigrate west of the Mississippi, to lake off certain prop erty of their Father’s estate, which is under the administratorship of James Spears, an affray took place ih M Minn county, between said Spears and Ro T gets, in consequence of this private mutter; and that the Sub agent under your order at the head of the Sheriff ofMcMinn county and ot.her citizens thereof, some days thereafter, enter ed the Nation, arrested Spears, and imprisoned him in Athens jail. If this report be true, we cannot see under what legal authority the Agent is jus tifiable in leading the Sheriff and oth er citizens of the United States into the Nation, and arresting one Indian for whipping another Indian, and to take him out of the Nation and punish him under the laws of the United States. In order that any further difficulty between our citizens, and any of the Cherokees west of the Mis sissippi, may be prevented, and that harmony and good understanding may be preserved, we do hereby protest against the Arkansas Cherokees inter fering, or intennedling with the con cerns of our citizens in any manner whatever, and we hope that you will advise them accordingly, as the author ities of this Nation cannot, and will not be, responsible for the conse quences.

Of the right of the Genenl Assembly to legis late over all perW and all things within our territorhl limits on general principles, a doubt! cannot be enter tained. Is there thing in our Con stitution, in the Federal Compact, to which we are a par|y, or in our rela tion to the Cherokejs, inhabitants of this State, which io^airs, in respect to them, our sovereign right? In the State Constitution thpre is no limita tion of the Legislative power over the Indians within our territory. In the GEORGIA AND THE CHERO KEES. The following is taken from the message of the Governor of Georgia to the Legis lature of that State. The solemn promise of the United States, made in 1802, to remove at their expense the Indians from the ter ritory of the State, is yet to be per formed. Of the wish and determina tion of the Federal government, in all its departments, to fulfil that promise as early as practicable, we ftave re peated assurances. The policy here tofore pursued towards the Indians, the mode of effecting the purposes of the General Government by contracts with the chiefs of the Indian Tribes, or with the government created by those chiefs, is still persisted iq, nor is there any indication that a change is contemplated. In this State it is well known that without a change of policy, the Government of the U. States can not, by a contract with their govern ment remove the Cherokees.— The rulers of that Tribe, who have, since the year 1818, systematically devoted themselves to defeat any at tempt to purchase out their permitted occupation of our lands, have, as a last resort, adopted a constitutional form of government. By this instru ment the annuity paid to the Tribe by the United States, and all the rights and privileges of individual Cherokees are controlled—a Government profes sing to be independent, is set up in de fiance nf the authority of the States of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and North Carolina, upon the territory and within the jurisdiction of these States. The Cherokees have been indeed tar dily informpd by the Chief Magistrate of the Union, that this attempt will not make any change in tho relation in which they stand to the United States. Tkf<new government, however con- Federal Compact, sabred in our eyes, trine' obedienc adoption States h? exercise to the protisions of which we have ev er looked.veneration, and which we will be the last to impair, the only clause wjiich can be tortured to bear upon the buestion, is that which gives to Congress “the power to regulate commerce with the Indian Tribes.” To the Cherokees within the State, we owe protection and to us they owe In no instance since the the Constitution of the U. the authority of a State, over the Indians within its limits, bien disputed or disregarded. The Pendascots and Passamaquoddies in Massachusetts and maine, the Nar- ragansetts In Rhode Island, the Sene cas and theOnondagas, &c. in New- York, the Choptanks and Nantieokes in Maryland, the Pamuakes in Virgin ia, the Catawbas in South Carolina, the remnants of various tribes yet ex isting in the old thirteen States, ex cept North Carolina and Georgia, are all protected and governed by State Laws.. On what just principle or plausible pretext can the right of Georgia, to exercise similar power in regard to the Cherokees, be resisted? Believing that our right is undoubted, that the exercise of our sovereign power is required by the best interests of the State, an important considera tion presents itself for examination.— What disposition is to be made of the Cherokees who reside within the State? To expel them would be cru el and unjust; to leave them as mere tenants at will of their present settle ments would be a reproach to the character of the State—for incorpo ration with equality of rights as a part of our political family, they are unfit. Under these reflections I recommend to you to extend all the laws of the State over the territory lying within our limits.occupied by the Cherokees. The Indians to be subject as other per sons $o the^operation of those laws— To secure to the Indians immediately the enjoyment of all civil rights—To grant each Indian family noiv living in the State, while they continue in it, a sufficient body of land for their com fortable support, looking to the Gen eral Government under the compact of 1802, for the value of the land thus granted, and for all the expenses that may be incurred by the State in the execution of the proposed enactments. As an evidence of respectful deference to the United Stales, and pf. our de termination to treat with tenderness the Cherokees, whose fate is to be af fected by these regulations, ,1 recom mend that the operation of the act be prospective—not to take effect until Iv •!

GEO. LOWREY. Bucharest, Sept. 7th. I am now able tp give the assurance that every measure has been taken to keep the Mussulmen for the future from the banks of the Danube. Gen. eral Geismer, reinforced by the corn* of Prince Scherbatoff, and supported by Count Langeron, is now able to keep not only the garrison of Widden in check, but even to resume offen sive operations. Fresh ‘troops coming from the interior of Russia-, every thing assumes an attitude so im. posing, that even' in case the bad sea. son should force the Russians to spa. pend their operations, which is yet doubtful, so considerable mass of forces will be displayed next spring, that Europe will be astonished, and the Ottoman Porte will have no alter- native but to submit to the will of the Emperor all the Russias, and to con cede, not only satisfaction, but also the guarantees required. If, with the use of ordinary means, the Russian army, in the space of three months, has made itself master of ten fortresses and a considerable quantity of artillery—if it has made important conquests in Europe and Asia—it is beyond a doubt that the army being reinforced, as may easily be done, in proportion to the collossal power of Russia, the lat ter must infallibly gain the victory. It ia announced, Indeed, that the Emperor Nicholas will return for some time to St. Petersburgh; but the journey of that monorch, if it real ly takes place, cannot hinder the ar my from pursuing the advantage which it has already gained. From the pre parations which are making here it is easy to see that the war is only. just going to begin,, the President of the United States shall have ample time to ascertain whether the Cherokees choose to re move for a just equivalent, or to re main and to’submit themselves to the authority dfUie State Government.— You will firijl in the contract made by the President of the United States and tho Arkansas Cherokees, here with submitted, a motive, for this, de lay.

RUSSIA & TURKEY. Things remain much the same at Schumla, Varna, &c. as at the last ac counts. It is affirmed by one o: our latest papers, that the Russians have renounced all further active operations on this side of the Balkan for the pre sent campaign. It was reported that the British go vernment had received information, that the Emperor Nicholas designed to blockade the Dardanelles. The rumour produced a greater panic at the Exchange than had been observed for a long time; for some imagined a serious difficulty, and perhaps a war between Russia and England might grow out of it. The Courier and the New Times both agree in declaring, that the government have received no official information concerning this sub ject; and the former paper of Septem ber 30th, argues against the probabil ity of the report, while the latter de clares that the Russian ambassador has communicated intelligence which renders it probable that the Emperor seriously entertains the design. The Courier says he cannot execute it without infringing his agreement to suspend hostilities in the Grecian Seas. Some of the continental accounts re present the Russians as determined to overwhelm the Turks with numbers and force, and as by no means relaxing in their resolution. The Emperor of Russia left Odes sa for Varna, Sept. 5th, by land.— The vanguard of the Grand Vizier’s army is said to have reached Choum- la.

LETTER FROM MR. GOOD- ELL. Extract of a Letter from Rev. William Goodetl, to a gentleman in this ctty, dated Lazaretto of Malta, June 21, 1828. My Dear Sir: Yours of April 23, 1827, was not received till April 12, 1828. You could not have then, tho’ it is not improbable you may have since, expected, that my answer would be dated from this place. God’sways are not like ours. We feel satisfied, that, in leaving Syria for a season, we have followed the dictates of Christian prudence, and the leadings of a gra cious Providence; and we confidently hope, that our reasons will be satis factory to the Christian public, when made known, as they doubtless wil Ibc soon, through the Missionary Herald. We went on board an Austrian ves- sel the last week in April, sailed from Reyroot, Friday morning, May 2d, having been detained several days in the harbor by contrary and stormy winds. In order to avoid the ill luck, which in supposed invariably to attend commencing a voyage on an unlucky day, the captain very gravely spread, sail on Thursday evening, though lie neither took up his anchor, nor put down his rudder and thus broke the spell, by whieh seafaring men-are al most universally bound, in regard to sailing on Friday. We touched at Cyprus for provis ions; but were not allowed to land, because the plague had been for some time at Beyroot, and on all the coast of Syria, South of Beyroot, Mussul mans, from intercourse with Europe ans, seem now in many places to be re nouncing, at least practically, their no tions of fate and invincible necessity. Both the Pasha of Egypt and the Pa sha of Acre have established quaran tine regulations; and the Governor of Cyprus has yielded to the Wishes of the few Europeans there, and united with them in making and enforcing laws on quarantine, even more strict than necessary. Cyprus appears to have been tho birth-place of Barnabas, Paul’s com panion in many of his travels.' It was to this place.that these two “servants of the most high God” immediately sailed, after they had been sent forth to their work by the prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch;-It was here they wrought miracles, and “preached the word of God in the sy nagogue of the Jews, having John to their minister.” And it was here, “the deputy of the country believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.”—Wo inqatred about the cities, which these Apostles visited; & thought of the doctrines which they taught .
