CIIEBOKEE PHOeiVIX AND INDIANS’ADVOCA TEX fees them upon the basis ot truth All ‘that I said was, that ‘ the gentlemen «l the Committee and Council will jhave to answer for their conduct in a coning day,” alluding to the day of Judgment, and the bar of their Cod. It is also reported that I expressed, sometime afterwards, a satisfaction mpon the romemberance that there was a prospect of the time not being far distant, when I could reap revenge under the enactments of the State of Georgia,—but this statement is as Unfounded and as false as the oilier. It is well calculated, if true, to in- ju ■ & blast my character. I will not s y that my acts were altogether bl .moless on the occasion, but this much I can and do say, that were the motive by which I was influenced as well known to my counuryraen as it is Jo my Maker, they would not censure in as much as some do. But every tree will be known by its fruit, and I rest perfectly satisfied under the convic tion that at some day or other, my countrymen will be convinced that jny attachment toiny country is dura ble.

We understand, says the Richmond Compiler, that the four volumes of Mr. Jefferson’s Works, have passed the press—and that they are only waiting the engraved portrait and the facsimile of the original Declaration of American Independence .to be bound up with them, before they are distri buted among the subscribers. 'Those engravings are executing in Philadel phia—and the work may now be ex pected to issue in a few days. The Now York Inquirer says there is a machine in operation in that city which makes daily 25,000 bricks, being in operation 12 hours in each day. . Locusts.—A French traveller tells us, that the Arabs of Upper Egypt and the Red Sea make a sort of bread of locusts, they dry them and grind them to powder, then mix the pow der with water and make small round cakes; vvlii. h serve for bread when that necessary article is scarce. So that the account of St. John eating locusts in the wilderness, can only be sneered at by fireside travellers. ‘•'■Statute of Limitation.' 1 '’—Accotd- ing to a law in the State of New York, those concerned in the abduc tion and murder of William Morgan, who escape the Grand Juries until (lie lllli iiist. being just three years from that event, can never be indict ed hereafter.

JOSEPH LYNCH, Manhal. Nov. 4, 1820. so ids. INFORM.! TlON IVJNi E D. fsHHE Subscriber li ving at the Head ol’ -R- Coosa, Cherokee Nation, vv,.J;es to know where a certain young man now re sides by the name of H. GIBES, by occupation a Printer, who a few months smee came from JNlcMinn county, East I ennessee, and got employment in the of fice ol the Cherokee Phoenix, at New E~ ehota for a slioit time; he was discontinued fiomthat office in the latter p.art ofi the summer, and has remained hi the. n-.gh- liorhooii ol Oouliillogee, near that place* Until a lew weeks ago, when he stai ’4 worn that place in company with a .gent Io nian who was going to Macon, Geo.g .T. l am informed by that gentleman, that said Gibbs went on to Macon with him and left him at that place about the 24 h or 25th A ugust ami started for Millefigevdle Georgia, to seek employment during the sitting of the Legislature. If he should be at that place or any part of the Srw . ( should take it as a lav or if some fiiend (to Honesty and fair dealings) would let me know by triad; as said Gibbs has go;., off and has neglected to pay bis book atv urtt with me;—the account lie owes me .s not much—but information respecting him would no doubt benefit some of lus other creditors—Mr. Gibbs is rather inclined to low built, about five feet three or loui in ches high, dark hair, tolerably free spoken and has a blemish in one of hi* E .es, which prevents him from seeing much ut ol it. It his bcconie too common these hard times for those Broad-cloth-coai ; ■ u- tlenion, if I may style them such, to o r. e accounts in stores & move to a not lie' lion. They .deserve the notice of pui.be prints as much as high-way robber;;, as they are always on the lookout and r v.dy ty practice fraud on the public at laiue; and they cannot be considered otheim.se than Swindlers.
