those very masters and consignees, who are
said to prefer such a mode of loading their
vessels in Savannah, adopt the same method in
the port of New York, we can hardly avoid the
inference, that it is a matter of disagreeable
necessity, of which “one interested'’ like a
philosopher as he is, would fain make the best.
In this we commend his spirit, and confess we
might endeavor to imitate it were there proper
occasion. It is well known that the loading
of vessels in Savannah river, in fresh water
and surrounded by marshes, is a great matter
of dread and of danger to the master and sail
ors of any vessel, from June to October, from
its unavoidable exposure of their health, and
it is also well known, that it has been found
necessary to subject those vessels to:
quarantine in Northern ports, to avoid the I
possible contagioh of the fevers that may have 1
been contracted there. The fact, therefore,
that there is no large fresh water river coming
into the sea at Brunswick, is the very circum
stance that will eventually give it the prefer-,
ence to all Southern ports. There is no body j
of fresh Water within twelve miles to engen
der miasma and fever. There is no large riv- 1
er to bring down in its freshets masses of silt
and mud from the interior to form shifting bars
in its harbor, while at the same time it is suffi
ciently near such a river to establish a com
munication with it, and by means of it; with
the interior of Georgia and with the West.
But we find the most perfect answer to the
advocate of the excellence of Savannah har
bor, in the following advertisement of the ‘Pu
laski,’ which we take from the very paper con
, taining the communication of “one interested.”
Pulaski. On account of
■upstate of the tide, the PULASKI lias been
pibliged to drop down below the wrecks pre
vious tq the time of her departure, but the
steamboat Florida has been engaged to take
her passengers down. She will leave Taylor’s
wharf, precisely at six o’clock this morning,
my 30 F. So tut el.
We are bold to say that the “Steamer Pu
laski,” to which we wish all success, and hope
to see here some day, could leave the wharf at
Brunswick at any stage of the tide, on any day
of the year, and proceed to sea without diffi
culty or delay.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Our latest dates are to the 29th ult. Dur
ing the past week but little of interest has ta
ken plaie at Washington, much of the time of
Congress having been confined, in the tran
saction of private business. We observe that
on the 28th ult. three hundred bills fur the ad
justment of private claims were transmitted
from tie House to the Senate. The Naval
Appropriation Bill lias finally passed the Sen
ate, inchding the appropriation for the explor
ing expedition, to defeat which great efforts
have been made by senior naval officers, who
were jealous that one of the rank of Lieuten
ant Wilkes should have the command. It
may now be considered as decided that this
expedition will sail, and under its present or
ganization, with an energetic and accomplish
ed commander we entertain the strongest ex
pectations of its success in enlarging our mar
atirne discoveries and of affording valuable j
contributions to science. Mr. Clay’s resolu
tion that the Government should, iu payment
of the public dues, receive the currency of the
country and disburse it to such of its creditors j
as were willing to receive it, has been lost by
a vote of2B to 19. The Secretary of War re
ported to the Senate that lie had received no
answer to his communication to the Cherokee
Delegation, (published in another part of this
paper,) but that John Ross anil another chief
had assented to its terms.
In the House, a message was received from
the President, acknowledging, that in some
papers which he bad.transmitted to it, relating
to the admission of foreign tampers, he had
inadvertently included somqfery indecent
flections upor. the Mayor/of the city of New
York, published# 1 ' CiTe “Truth Teller”!! a low
Van Buren, print. The papers in question
were accordingly withdrawn.
iTm Secretary of War reports to the House
'that he shall require one million and eighty
thousand dollars to complete the arrangements j
which he has negotiated with the Cherokee j
delegation. This appropriation is now under
consideratirn, and maybe expected to elicit;
the most interesting debate. A correspond- j
encc between the Secretary of State and the i
British Minister was presented to the House.
In this, the British Government were invited
on its part to appoint Commissioners to run the
line of tie North Eastern boundary, according
to the terms of the treaty, as the State of
Maine Inclined its assent to a conventional;
line. the British Mifnstjw declined the ne
gotiation proposed, before consulting his gov- j
ernmeflt. Anti Slavery and Cherokee peti

Usual, and as usual laid upon tiii table.

CHEROKEE REMOVAL
W e mentioned, in our paper of last week,
that developments had been made at Wash
ington, by which, to the surprise of every
Georgian, it appeared, that the removal of the
Indians was to be delayed for two years. We
I now give below the official documents, upon
; which those statements were founded. These
j consist, Ist, of the Secretary of War’s letter to
i the Cherokee Delegation, and 2d, of the same
Secretary’s letter of instructions to General
Scott.
We have hardly as yet recovered from our
astonishment at reading these documents.—
Whatever the Secretary may say, and what
ever the Globe may say, they prove conclu
sively that the Government have, most un
gracefully, backed off the high ground they
had assumed in relation to the execution of
this treaty. What now becomes of General
Scott’s high-sounding address of May 10th, to
the Cherokees, announcing to them that they
must remove. This continuous removal for
two years that is now talked of amounts only
to an admission that the treaty is naught, or
that the Government doubt their power to en
force it. It still remains to be seen, whether
Georgia will submit to this pusillanimous pol
icy, and we trust an extra session of the Leg
islature will be called, to express her opin
ions in regard to it
To Messrs. John Ross, Edward Gunter, R.
Taylor, Jas. Brown, Samuel Gunter, Situ
waher, Elijah Hicks, and White Bath,
('herokee Delegation.
The undersigned has attentively considered
tiie project of a treaty submitted by you, and,
although equally desirous with yourselves to
satisfy that portion of the nation that remain
east of the Mississippi, and to offer them ev
ery inducement to remove peaceably and con
tentedly to their new homes in the West, and
not unwilling to grant most of the terms pro
posed by you, still, where the rights and just
expectations of sovereign States are involved,
it is deemed inexpedient, without tiieir con
sent, to give to any stipulations which affect
them the form of a solemn treaty.
In the first article you desire to stipulate
and agree that “the said Cherokee nation, par
ty hereto, engages and stipulates to remove
from all the lands now occupied by them east
ward of Mississippi, and hereby renounces and
relinquishes to the United States all claim of
every description to such lands: such removal
to be commenced at the earliest convenient
period and to be fully completed within two
years from this date; to be effected by the
Cherokees themselves and by their agents, and
the entire expenses of such removal to he de
frayed out of the money to be paid by the U
nited States, as hereinafter provided.” As
has been before observed, the Government of
the United States could not agree to this act
without the consent of the States whose rights
are involved, and whose interests may be af
fected by this stipulation; but the Executive
pledges itself to use its best efforts to induce
them to abstain trim pressing their claims in a
manner that would produce loss or inconve
nience to the Cherokee people, and would be
inconsistent with their being removed with ev
ery reasonable comfort. From the well known
humanity and generous character of the
States of Georgia, Alabama, and North Caro
lina, there can be no doubt of their granting
every indulgence which the interests of hu
manity require; and if two years are necessa
ry for the comfortable removal of the nation,
the undersigned will venture to assure the del
egation that their request w ill be granted.
If it be desired by the Cherokee nation that
their own agents should have the charge of
their emigration, their wishes will be compli
ed with, and instructions be given to the com
manding General in the Cherokee country to
enter into arrangements with them to that ef
fect. With regard to the expense of this op
eration, which you ask may be defrayed by
the United Stales, in the opinion of the under
signal, the request ought to be granted, and an
application for such further sum as may be re
quired for this purpose shall be made to Con-
gross.
In the next article of your project, you pro
pose that “the United States, on their part,
stipulate and agree, in consideration of the
premises, to perfect the title of the Cherokee
nation to the lands and territory westward of
the Mississippi, described, mentioned and de
fined in and by the treaty of lrCi'J, between
the United States and the Cherokees west of
the Mississippi, and the privilege of outlet
thereto annexed, and to issue a patent there
for to the Cherokee nation in perpetuity; and
further to pay the said chiefs and representa
tives of the Cherokee nation east of the Mis
sissippi, the sum of dollars, in manner
and at the time hereinafter provided.”
It was always the declared intention of the
Government to perfect the title of this land to
the Cherokee nation, and to issue a patent
therefor, so soon as that portion of them now
east of the Mississippi had emigrated west,
granting the nation the privileges secured to
them by former arrangements. Nor will it
object to grant them in perpetuity, if Congress
should think proper to do so on their recom
mendation, under certain restrictions, to which
the delegation have assented. As the delega
gation expressed their fears that a form of
Government might he imposed which they
were neither prepared for nor desirous of, the
assurance is hereby repeated, that no form of
government will be imposed upon the Chero
kees without the consent of the whole nation,
given in council; nor shall their. country be
created into a territory without such previous
concurrence.
With regard to the payment of a further
sum of money by the United States, the nn
l dersigned cannot Consent to recommend such a
a measure to Congress. The Senate of
the United States deliberately decided that
five millions of dollars was’a full and sufficient
indemnity to the Cherokees for the lands they
relinquished on the east side of the Mississip
pi; and it is understood that the members of
that body see no reason at . present to alter
that decision.
i In the third article of your project you ask
that “the said Cherokee nation, party hereto,
| hrough, and by their acknowledged chiefs
j auj officers, shall have the entire control, I
[ matagement, and disposition, responsible only
j to tii\j r own nation, of the funds to be paid
j under\jiis treaty.”
I The would very much prefer
' i making t\s disposition of the funds of the na
! tion, but ae the interests of those Cherokees
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
who have lately emigrated, are deeply involv
ed in this proposition, the Executive cannot
recoawiiend such an alternative without the
prevTßs consent of all the parties concerned.
The next article asks, “that in addition to
the said sum mentioned in the foregoing sec
ond article, the United States shall forthwith
pay, or arrange to be paid to the Cherokee na
tion, party hereto, the arrearages of the annu
ities which were provided for in the treaty of
1819, up to this date, and shalb continue such
annuities during the two years allowed for
said removal.”
The undersigned assures the delegation,
that whatever arrearages of annuities are due
to the Cherokee nation, under the treaty of
1819, shall be promptly paid up to this date,
and a continuance of that annuity for two
years longer shall be asked of Congress.
The oth article requires “that inasmuch as
the Cherokees contemplate removing as pro
vided for in said first article, as rapidly as
their numbers and engagements will permit,
the United States stipulate and engage to pay
to them, as such removal, and the nescssary
preparations therefor progress, out of the mo
ney mentioned in said second article, such
sums as may from time to time be necessary to
defray the expenses incident thereto.”
Ali payments and necessary’ advances for
the purpose herein set forth, will be liberally
provided for in the contract which the com
manding general will be authorized to make
with the Cherokee agents, for the emigration
of that portion of the nation east of the Mis
sissippi.
The (Ith article asks, “that during the period
prescribed and allowed by this treaty’ for said
removal, the United States stipulate and con
tract to protect the persons and property of
said Cherokees from all acts of encroachment
and violence, and to furnish them, when re
quired, with the necessary escort and protec
tion during such removal until their arrival at
their destination beyond the Mississippi.”
The necessary escort and protection during
the removal of the Cherokees until their arriv
al at their destination beyond the Mississippi
will be furnished, and the United States will
protect the persons and property of the said
Cherokees from all illegal acts of encroach
ment and violence, and will use their best ef
forts with the States interested to prevent
their pressing the execution of their rights in
a manner calculated to oppress or inconve
nience any individual of the nation.
In the Bth article the request is made,“That in
addition to the moneys herein before stipulit
ed to be paid by the United States, they fur
ther agree to pay to the said Cherokee nation,
party hereto, the gross sum of dollars,
in full discharge of all claims upon the Unit
ed States, under the stipulations of former
treaties, for public and private property, spolia
tions, indemnities, and other reclamations
whether national or individual, and for re-iin
bursement of expenses incurred in and about
this arrangement.”
Six hundred thousand dollars was set apart
for this purpose by a vote of Congress, and to
defray the expenses of the removal of the na
tion to their new bi nes. But ns this sum
proves to be inadequate for both objocts, the
Executive will recommend to Congress to
make a further appropriation, in order to satis
fy them.
The undersigned trusts that the Cherokee
delegation will see in these liberal concessions
the earnest desire of the President to recon
cile the nation to the necessity of removing
without any other delay than a due regard for
their comfort and convenience demands; and
in this conviction, confidently relies upon the
cordial co-operation of the chiefs and head
men to efieet this desirable object.
On the part of the Government, copies o£
this document, with suitable applications to
the States interested, will be immediately
transmitted to the several Governors thereof;
instructions will be sent to the commanding
general to act in conformity with its isurunces
and a communication be made to Congress,
asking the consent of that body to the provi
sions proposed for the benefit of the Cherokee
nation.
The undersigned, in closing this communi
cation, which has been considered with great
deliberation, and drawn with the utmost regard
for the wishes of the delegation, desires it to
ba distinctly understood that it contains the
most liberal terms the Executive can grunt,
with a due regard to the rights and interests
of all the parties concerned ; and therefore
presents it as the final determination of the
Government, and the peremptory conclusion
of the correspondence with the Cherokee dep
utation on this subject. J. R. POINSETT.
Depart:.!*: nt of War, May IS, lrißH.
[oT-Ttri A!..]
Com/ of a Idler from the Secret art/ of Hur lo
.Major (lateral Scott , dated
Department or War,
May 23, I*:K
Sin: You will receive, herewith, a co
py of proposals made by the Department
to the Cherokee delegation now in this
city, which, it is believed, will be accept
ed bv them. You are, therefore, hereby
authorized to enter into an agreement
with the agent of the nation for the re
moval of their people. The expenses at
tending the emigration of the Cherokees
are now fullv ascertained bv past experi
ence, and it is presumed you will litid no
difficulty in making such an arrangement
as, while it will i.ectire their comfortable
removal in the manner most agreeable to
their chiefs and head men, will effectual
ly protect the interests of the United
Stales, and prevent all unnecessary delay
or useless expenditures.
Whether the removal of this people is
to be continued by the military force un
der your command, or to be conducted
by their own ngents, care must be taken
that it be carried on continuously, and as
speedily as may be consistent with their
health and comfort. It must commence
in that part of the territory which lias
been granted or sold by the States to
whose jurisdiction it belongs, in order
that the several proprietors Tis the land
may bcfmt in possession of their estates
with as little delay as possible. These
proposals have been laid before Congress
for the purpose of*obtaining such legis
lative provisions as they require; but it is
not intended thereby to retard the execu
tion ot the treaty, and you will pursue
the measures you have already adopted,
until the agents of the nation arc ready
to take charge of the future emigration
|of their people; nor will you then permit
any unnecessary delay in their operations.
Very respectfully, vour ob’t servant,
J. R. POINSETT.

Athens, Tennessee.
LATEST FROM THE CHEROKEE
COUNTRY.
We take the following from the Augusta
Constitutionalist, which gives intelligence
jlroin the Cherokee country to Monday, 28th
ult. At that da.o it did not appear what course
Gen. Scott would pursue on the receipt of his I
letter of instructions from Washington :
< Mi the 2(jth of last month—May—Gen Scott
gave orders to commence the operations of
gathering the Indians within the State of
Georgia. In compliance with this order, up
wards of2oo Indians were assembled at Eclio
to at 10 o’clock, A. M., on the 27th. The same
number were assembled at a post near Cass
ville at noon ; 300 at the Sixes’, on the morn
ing of the 28th ; and .'SOO at Fort Buffington,
(5 miles east of Canton ;) and it is probable
that upwards of 2000 were assembled at those
places bv the night of the 28th. The Indians
were collected by the troops—seemed reluc
tant to leave their homes, but made no resis
tance. It must be observed, however, that
hut few young men, or warriors, were among
those brought in. Gen. Scoti had given or
ders to send the Indians immediately to the a
gency at Calhoun’s, or Landing.
CHEROKEES IN THE FAR WEST.
We take the following extract, from a let
ter of John Ridge, the Cherokee Chief, dated
7tii May last, as illustrative of the prosperous
condition of the Cherokees who have emigrat
ed to the West.
South Lee, Berkshire Cos. .Muss. .Men/ 7, 1838.
Mv Fkik.no: While 1 was in New York, I
received your kind letter of 25th ultimo, in an
swer to mine, for which 1 am greatly indebted
to you. It was my desire to have visited
Washington, in order to have the pleasure of
a personal interview with you, and also to see
the result of the great Indian hill, now in a
course of discussion in the Senate; but the
period I have set apart to return to mv coun
try is the first of June, and I have but a short
time to spend among my wife’s relations.
I did not write as fully as the interesting
subject oftlie Cherokee removal, anil the na
ture of the country, demanded, as I then be
lieved I should see you. Now you will allow
me to relate my opinion of our country in the
W est, and the situation of our people.
The treaty is so liberal in its provisions for
the comfortable removal of the Cherokees, that
1 have heard no complaints on that head, but
the highest satisfaction. Those who went by
w ater in steamboats in the spring of the year
passed with so much despatch, that most ot
them planted corn, and raised considerable
crops. You know that good and exemplary
Christian, Mr Charles Moore. He said that
lie planted in the month of June, and raised a
greater crop of beans, pumpkins and corn,than
he ever did in Georgia under the most favora
k»lo oiremnstaiices. He said that “the land in
the West was so rich that he could compare it
to nothing else than a fattened Jiog, which was
so fat that he could not get up.” 1 have trav
eled extensively in that country—once, from
my residence, near the corner of Missouri and
Arkansas, to Fort Smith, through Flint dis
trict, w here I had the pleasure of beholding
fine springs of water, excellent farms, and
comfortable houses and mills, and mission
I school.}, belongin'' to tho (Jhcrokeos, and ev
ery evidence of prosperity and happiness was
to be seen among the Cherokccs as a people.
I saw a number who had previously arrived,
and who arrived since 1 had, and I heard but
one sentiment —that they were happy and con
tented in their now country. Indeed, the soil
is so exceedingly rich and well timbered, anil
the navigation of the Arkansas river affords
them superior commercial advantages to what
they enjoyed in the East. I joked with the
people, and asked them if they would return
to Georgia, even if they could he re-establish
ed in their ancient rights and location in tint
I country? They invariably said, no, by no
I means! Nothin:* would induce them to re
! turn. Hut they sincerely wished that the eyes
|of their countrymen might he opened, and
j break from the delusions of John itoss and
! his political tools, and escape to this good
| land.
Resumption of Kpf.cik Payments at
the Son'll. On the 22d and 2Bd tilt, a con
vention of the Hanks of South Carolina and
Georgia was held at Charleston, at which near
ly all the Banks of those States were repre
sented. It was unanimously
“Resolved, That the Banks represented in
this Convention will resume the payment of
their ifotes in specie, at or before the first day
of January next.”
We may therefore hope, by another season,
to be freed from the curse of an irredeemable
i paper currency.
CHARLESTON EIRE.
In the South Carolina Legislature a hill has
been reported for authorising a loan of two
millions of dollars on the faith of the State for
the purpose of rebuilding the burnt district of
! Charleston. The proceeds of this loan are to
jbe deposited in tho Bank of South Carolina
! and loaned to such applicants as will build in
; the burnt district. Wo are happy to learn
j that this most liberal and judicious measure
I will probably be carried into effect.
By the Charleston Mercury of the 2d inst.
we regret to perceive that incendiaries are at
work. Deliberate attempts to fire the city
were discovered on the night ot Friday last
| and also on the previous night.
Steamer Pulaski's Challenge. Weare
happy to observe the course pursued bv the
owners of this boat, which indeed entitles
them to tho confidence of the public. While
thev have passengers on board, they remember
their duty' to the public, and will allow no rac
ing. But thev now challenge the Georgia to
a special race of eighty.miles, on any day the
challenged may name, from tho Charleston bar
to Tybee, for five thousand dollars a
tide, which sum is staked by four of the Stock-
holders of the Pulaski. They thus propose to
test the relative speed of the boats, without
danger or alarm to their passengers.
FROM FLORIDA.
The accounts from Florida, and the specu
lations of the newspapers in regard to the war
are so contradictory, that we can hardly an
nounce that we have any thing new. On the
one hand we hear that the Indians, as the sea
son advances, are becoming bold and im
pudent.—that the express riders from Tampa
are always fired upon and frequently killed, —
and then by the same mail we are informed
that Alligator and 317 Indians have come
in—that the war is over, and that all the rest
of the Indians will come in in the course of
the summer. In relation to this matter, we j
are inclined to adopt the following opinions j
which we copy from the St. Augustine Herald:
“In the early part of the week, w'e under
stand a letter was received from Tampa, stat
ing that Alligator had returned to Pease
Creek, with about 300 more Indians, and it >
was expected that the number would be in- |
creased 100 more in a short time. The war j
was considered pretty well ended at Tampa, j
nnd but few more Indians remain out.
“In relation to the above, there are two or
three facts which present themselves.
“First—lt is said that a temporary peace
has been negotiated with the Indians, and
they have kindly consented to suffer our
troops to retire into ‘summer quarters,’ and
have magnanimously promised to remain
peaceable and quiet south of a certain line.
In view of this temporary arrangement, have
not Alligator and his 300 Indians come in— to
draw rations ?
“Next—By the estimate of Lt. Harris, the
Seminole nation consisted of about 3000 In
dividuals. One half of these were consider
ed hostile, mm could not possibly furnish a
force of more than 300 warriors. But time
lias proved that they were all hostile, and af
ter more than two years fighting, ne cannot
learn of more than about 1000 Indians having
been captured, and shipped out of the Terri
tory. How near is the war ended, when there
yet remains 2000 Indians in the Territory ?
“Again—The idea circulating at the pres
ent time that the war is ended, is injurious.
“The people receive false impressions from
erroneous official statements. A iarge force is as
necessary as ever for the protection and secur
ity of the country; and under the idea that the
‘war is pretty well ended,’ they will return to
their plantations at the risk of their lives.—
This is no time to be harping upon the oft
struck string, ‘the war is ended.’ Is tiiere no
sinister design in thus setting afloat this dan
gerous idea?”
(T/*As an act of justice to the parties in
terested, we publish the following note, in re
lation to the record of the commitment of
Charles L. Barritt, at Darien. The paper
which wo inserted was in its nnliiro un official
document, and as such we published it, dis
claiming all knowledge of the circumstances
to which it related:
j “Vo the lid it or of the Darien Telegraph:
1 Dear Sir:—Having cecn a publication in
the Brunswick Advocate, Savannah Georgian,
land Republican, in which it is stated, that, the
| decision w-aa “unanimous” concerning the case
[of the State vs. Charles L. Barritt, I would
1 wish it to he understood, that I did not consent
to such a publication—for I objected to Mr.
Snow’s supplementary affidavit, unless Mr.
Thomas Maguire was permitted to cross-ex
amine him; 2d!y, I deny the right of the
Court to decide the case manslaughter; 3d!v,
I deny the right of the Court to compel Bar
ritt to pay costs before trial; and 4thly, I could
not. have sanctioned the publication, for it is
well known that Barritt was to give security
in the sum ot $2,500: and of seven securities
named, six of whom signed in Court, and if
each was hound in SSOO, us stated, the securi

OjT’We have the following from the cor
resjMmdent of the Charleston Mercury who
writes from Washington under the date of
29th ult. Many of these rumored changes are
also reported by other authorities :
It is now quite certain that Mr. Woodbury
will leave the Treasury Department very soon,
perhaps in a few days, and will be succeeded
by Mr. Amos Kendall. Mr. K. will no doubt
he an efficient officer, hut he is far from being
popular. It would be quite impossible, how
ever,'for the President to put any one in that
office who would give less satisfaction to eith
er party than Mr. Woodbury has done. Other
changes are talked of. Mr. Poinsett, it is said,
is to take the Navy, w hile the War Depart
ment will be given to Mr. A. Stephenson.—
Mr. Buchanan is talked of for the State De
partment, in the room of Mr. Forsyth, who is
to have a foreign mission. It is quite uncer
tain who will have the General Post Office.
Mr. Grundy is certainly very illy qualified for
the station, and there are strong objections to
Gov. Hill, who is also talked of for that office.
Mr. John Y. Maun of Virginia, now a judge!
in that State, and formerly a member of the
House, is to be Attorney General in the place
of Mr. Butler, who w ill resign very soon.
Coronation Ceremonies. The ceremo
nies of the approaching coronation of Queen
Victoria, seem to attract the greatest attention,
and many of our countrymen are crossing the
Atlantic, to be present at the ceremony. It is
said that more than two hundred have left
New N or!: in the packets of the last month,
with no other purpo^'v„;uid that many, more
are yet to follow. We give below the ceremo
ny of swearing allegiance, as practised at the
last coronation. It*is said that the part of the
form, which requires the kisses of five hundred
peers, is not very agreeable to the young
queen! Probably it is not, —a s many of them
arc old and ugly.
When the Lords Spiritual had perform
ed homage, the Duke of Cumberland j
ascended the stepS of the throne, and,
kneeling before the king, pronounced forj
'himself and the other Dukes oftlie Blood
Royal the words of homage:—“ I, Ernest
Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, do
become your ; liege man of life and limb,
and of earthly worship, and faith and truth
I will bear unto you, to lire and die
against all manner of folks. Sa belp me
God.” The Duke of Cumberland then
touched the Crown on his Majesty’s head,
and kissed his Majesty’s left cheek; the
rest ol the Dukes of the Blood Royal
doing the like after him, and tfad^etiring.
The Dukes and other Peers then
observed the same ceremony— the senior
of each degree pronouncing the words of
homage, and the apst of the same degree
successively touclmig his Majesty’s crown,
and kissing his Majesty’s left cheek, and
then retiring. The anointing is apart of
the ceremony more recommended by
antiquity than delicacy, and will probably
be omitted altogether. ,
The Intelligencer (Washington) of
Friday last says:—“We understand that
j Gen. Hunt, the Envoy from Texas, left
this city for Texas on Wednesday last,
i without a purpose of immediate return.
| Fairfax Catlett, Esq. has been left Charge
j d’Affaires in the interim.”
The same paper announces that—“ The
j Prince de Joinviile, attended by several
j French officers, arrived in this city yester
j day afternoon, in the mai! steamer Syd
-1 ney, by the way of Richmond, in Vir
ginia &.C.”
| Os tiie Prince the Madisonian observes:
; —“The young Prince, the third son, and
I sixth child of Louis Philippe, King of the
| French, was born 14th Oct. 1818, and is
i therefore about the same age, his royal
! sire was, when (driven into exile by the
French revolution) he landed on our
| shores—but with what different feelings!
| and with the perspective of what a differ
j ent future' Truth is indeed strange —
stranger than fiction.”—[Savannah Geor
