The commander in chief congra

task of thanking you for your gal
lant conduct in an action'with the
Caranqua Indians,fought on the SOtli
of July last, at 3 .‘clock, A. M. in
which your enemy was entirely de
feated and put to fliijhf, with the loss
of three fourths of their warriors;
their implctm-nts of war, provision,
camp equipage and boats, devolved
on him at such an early period after
your arrival in this part of the Re
public. Soldiers, the cool and de
termined courage displayed by you
on this occasion, will never he for
gotten by your commander; and is a
sure guarantee of the honorable and
Successful result of every battle we
njay be compelled to fight flu* good
order firmness, and resolute charge
nude by you, with the bayonet, a
midst a destructive shower of arrows
and tomahawks, against more than
four times your numbers, for more
than fifteen minutes, is unexampled
in the annuls of war. The enemy
you have conquered, bears (he char
act rof no ordinary foe. For years
they have spread terror along this

tions of Indians ; they are raised
from their infancy to war, and teeu

th'S single victory have not only se
cured the safety of our own settlers,

inhabitants of the adjacent parts of
the U. States; and have relieved the
people of Labahia and. St. Antonio
from a yearly subsidy, paid those

Tenged the death of every unfortun
fcte American, that chance has placed
In th< ir power; and none were known
to escape them.
Ai the same time, that victory
crowns our efforts, we have to la
ment the loss cf some of our brave
companions in arms; you,will see by
the report of the Surgeon General,
that one was killed in action, and
nine wounded. Two of the wound
ed are since dead. The balance al
though severely injured are doing
Well. The .Commanding General
feels himself so much indebted for
the good conduct of all, that it is
Jupuasiblt to discriminate. But he
cannot pass on without noticing the
peculiar good conduct of Surgeon-
General Jo >h O. Purnell, who, for-
IN'tful of personal danger, went gal
antly into action on the first ch u ge;
where he received a severs wound in
the head, but continued, notwit 1 •

—Mr. Taylor,a citizen of this Re

The commander in shies avails
himself of this occasion to thunk his
officers and soldiers for their uniform
good conduct, prompt obedience to

of the most trying and discourag

The Caranqua Indians are a tribe
the mo*t ferocious and warlike.
They are composed of Creek Indi
ans and Attsckapas. They are at
war with all Indians and all whites,
except Spaniards, whose allies they
are for a subsidy. Their ntimbet
kdled and wounded could not be as
certained ; as they carried their dead
off as fast as wc’ could shoot them
down. We attacked them in the
- night, whilst they were engaged in
their war dance, and succeeded bv
running without discovery, to come
within fifteen steps of them.— Some
of the men are th<| largest I ever saw,
from 6 feet to 6 feet 6 inches, the
most of them. I took a little boy
prisoner- he wag wounded in the
thigh, and died twenty days after
batik.

Distressing Shipwreck.
A gentleman who arrived at this
place yesterday from Salmon river,
gives the following account of the
I loss of the British schooner Asp, of
Fort George, N c walk, Ca pt. Prossey,
[ from Newaik bound to Kingston.
. At day break on Thnrsdoy morning
last,blowing a gale fr om the N. W.
a vessel was descried in the offing
from the moulh of Sa;mon river.
At 8 o’clock she had driven in on the
bar, and appeared to be a schooner
with bvth masts along side. A man
was soen standing at her night heads,
making some feeble signals of dis
tress. Wc immediately manned a
boat from the river, and several at
tempts were made to gain the wreck,
but all in vain, the sea breaking over
her in the most fright.ul manner
At I o’clock, the -wind having in
some measure abated, we succeed
ed in boarding the wreck; and bro’l
off James Youngs, seaman, and Miss
Jane Gibson, an Irish lady, passen
ger, the only two survivors out.of II
flouli, who left Fort Georg;? on Mon
day morning last. The lady was
found lashed to the windlass, much
! bruised, and in a state of insensibili
ty.—Youngs was apparently in a
state of great exhaustion, kneeling
| by the-Hauser hole, with a turn of ca
l' blc around his waist. He had a fin
ger in-oxen on one hand, and a thumb
| on the other, and wii otherwise much
bruised. Youngs was a seaman, 35
years of age. The lady was ret*ilin
ing from Queenstown, U. C. to Que
bec, on her way to Ireland. A gold
watch, which she carried in her bo
som, is the only article she has sav
ed, the cabin being washed open am*
dead lights stove in by the sea. AH
♦he passengers’ baggage is supposed
to have been lost. She states that
she is 24 years of age ; that she hud
been on a visit to her brother at
Queenstown, who diad in May last;
that there were several other pussen
person board, five of whom, includ
ing a man, wife and child, died in
the cabin before the schooner right
ed. She gives the followingaccount
f the loss of the vessel : - Left
Newark on Mondav morning with
light breezes ahd pleasant weather
' onday night Ijghi air and calm.
On Tuesday morning at sunrise a
, small cloud was seen the N. VV.
( The captain said we should have a
squall and ordered the sails reefed,
j Ai half past H o’clock the squall
j commented, with such violence we
I were obliged to lay to, and did hot
r beirawiy again until Wednesday
orni: g about 8 o’clock, when it was
supposed the gale was aver, in less
than two hours it again,
p Mth redoubled violence. Hove to,
I and continued to lie by until we cap
sized. Before noon the schooner
’ had Hprunga leak. The leak contin-
I ued to gain on the numds until the
staves were all afloat in the hold.
, About 12 o’clock at night the cabin
hulk head started, and the staves
| floated into the cabin. At 3 o’clock
( A Mi the vessel being completely
waterlogged, fell over on he. beam
j ends. The lanyards were soen cut
away, and she righted, with the loss
. °f her masts. The captain contin
ued «t the helm, until backwater ren
! dered it useless:—-He then observed.
the windlass was all that could save
’ us, and all that were on deck imme
\ diately crowded around it; but the
j cold frei.i water broke over os con
t tinually; death soon began to thin
j our numbers—captain Prosscv was
the last that died about J o’clock he
' said he was nnr.b and must-die—he
soon after observed that land was in

Ftllow-Ciiisen* es the A'vmte,

When we vSew tin* oppression at this day
among the people of oilier nations, ami call
to mind the circumstances under which yon
have been convened, we have abundant
cause to oiler our bumble and grateful thanks
to tiic Supreme Ruler of the Universe for
the many blessings we enjoy, aud'di-voiu.iy
to implore from him a continuation of Ins
gracious indulgence and providential care
over our country.
The extravagant pretensions enter I anted
by many of the Rebuff Powers of Europe,
respecting their “ Legitimacy” and “ Divine
Right. I ',’’ and the violence exercised in sup
port of these delusions should teach-us to
■ estimate the true value of those great
principles on which our government rests.
They are well known to. you all. The prac
tical utility and beneficial effects of which
are evinced and abundanth conspicuous tu
the happiness and prosperity enjoyed, fur
nearly half a century, by the people of the
United States. Have wc not then every in
ducement nf interest and patriotism-to pre
serve,, protect and cherish them wi-.li unal
teiahlr attachment? Among the nn-ansto
be employed to this end, none will be found
so effectual as the important subject of cdu
■callqn, which lias been propeily placed under
the mnnediaic care of the Legislature. I trust
your wisdom and patriotism will aid in giv
ing it a direction calculated to produce the
most desirable and beneficial results.
In reviewing die events of the past yyar.
none will be tuurtd more deserving-your in
tention and liberality, (ban the destructive
fire which happened in the city of Sara,
nail in January last, and the sickness winch
has, with unusual, mortality, prevailed there
s'nee the month ot August. In particular tin’
distresses of the poorer class of ciiizi;..-;,
as represented, cannot fail to excite tin
most generous feelings in their behalf.—
Soon after the five an application was made
to me by the city council of Savannah n
behalf of their suffering fedow-citixcns. re
questing that that; Legislature might he con
vened to afford them relief. On reflection h
was deemed inexpedient to comply with tha
request; bit as some small relief to their im
mediate wants and pressing necessities, 1 ao
vaneed out of the Cmvimgent Fund, tlu
<um of Ten I huusand Dollars, to be distribu
ted among the sufferers, under the direc
tion and control of the local authorities .> f
the city. A letter from the honorable Thus.
U. I’, Charlton, Mayor of the city-of Savan

ted, will give you a more particular view •
the dis'ress awl affliction occasioned by tin
-.ickoess, vvhiSe a affords a commeudahie ex
ample of an officer faithful in the discharge
of his duly, regardless of personal consult
rations,
Pursuant to a resolution of the last Legis
lature, I Joliu M'intuah,
David Adanis and David Meriwether, com
missioners on the part of the stale to pro
ceed under the direction* of.the President
of the United Sta'es to demand satisfaction
fbr property taken by-the Creek and Chero
kee Indians, from the citizens of Georgia,
and in compliance with the same resolution,
I applied to the President for an authority
that the said commissioners, with such oth
ers as he should think proper tu appoint,
might treat with the said tribes of Indians
for Territory, The subjects en.braced in
this resolution having been laid before Con
gress by the President, an appropriatipn
to defray the expenses of negotiation, was
made, and commissioners have been appoint
ed by the President to treat with the Credit
Indiana. And assurances have been given
that these commissioners would “be in
-44 strutted to give, notice of their appoint
“ ment to the commissioners of the State oi
“ Georgia, and to co-operate With them in
“ promoting, to the.extent of their powers,
“ the interest aiid views of the State.” The
correspondence now communicated respect
ing the objects of the before mentioned reso
lution ami the remonstrance of the last Le
gislature, will exhibit a foil, and 1 trust satis
factory view, of the course pursued by the
Executive.
The sum of forty thousand dollars out of
the Fund for the improvement of Internal
Navigation, has been advanced to the Sieaui-
Hoat Company, that being the portion of the
captital stock for which they would have
been authorised to call upon the State, if
the whole of the capital had been called in.
This advance was made under a special a
grceme it entered into between the Execu
tive and the Company, the nature of which
will be fully explained by copies of the same
and other document* in relation to that
transaction, herewith communicated, It
will be seen by the agreement and docu
ments referred to, that the company, among
other stipulations, have removed the restric
tion heretofore imposed to the Slate’s sel
ling her interest in the Stock, and that the
Company Lave, 44 mortgaged real estate sin
“ fic.cnt to ■secure to the'State the payment
“ of the one hundred thousand dollars which
“ has been paid by it, so that the State shall
•• be -ccured from any final loss of said sum
“ or any part thereof, when the concerns oi
“ the Company shall be closed by the expira
“ tion of tfieir charter, and also to secure
“ the payment qnnually of irttercst thereon
“ at the rate of eight per cent, per annum ;
“ the State'm consideration of said gtiaran
“ tee relinquishing any claim to further di
•• vidend, and reserved authority to require
“ and enforce the payment of said one huu
-14 di-ed thousand dhjtars and interest, if the
“ Company fail to pay up said interest when
“ due, and withiahlilrty days after demand
41 mode.’.’ hou of these terms and condi
tions as expressed in the fifth arttydtof the
agreement, the legislature at them present
session have the rjgfit, if ‘they prefer it, to
substitute #he, .following,' to wit: “ The
44 Company to- mortgage as before real es
-44 tate to secure the forty thousand dollars
44 advanced with eight per cent, interest per
44 tnuum, oa the ono htmifted thousand del
r* a
« lays, and the State to receive In common
44 with other stockholders, the excess of the
• 4 dividend, if any over the eight per cent.
“ so guaranteed,” This agreement was made
not only with a view to the remural of the
restriction, but tinder the full belief, that the
interests of the State would be, by it, pro
muted in other respects, more especially as
the Company were making monthly calls on
the State fur instalments.
The sum of one hundred thousand dollars
of the Fund heretofore set apart fur the es
tablishment and support of Tree Schools;
and the sum of one hundred thousand dol
lars of the Fund for the improvement of the
Internal Navigation of lifts Slate, have been
vested in Stock of the Rank of Darien, for
1 the use and benefit - of those Funds, agreea
bly to an Act of the l:v”. Legislature, pro
viding for the payment of instalments as
they became due on Stock held by the
State in the said Hunk. These investments
have paid the second instalment of twenty
five per cent, and the third of fifteen p*r
cent, on the Stock owned by the State in
drat Hank; Owing to the precarious situa
tion of our Hanks, I have deferred vesting
the residue of these Funds and such Interest
as may have accrued thereon, in Hank or
other Stock,
Although I am of the opinion tint the
Hanking System, now in operation in the
State,is not calculated to advance ti e best,
interests of our f.dlow-cid/ens, yet as it
would he difficult under, existing c.fcam
suuices to apply a corrective to this system,
and as a large amount of the Funds of the
State is vested in the Stock of our Hanks, I
consider their embarrassed situation a sub
ject deserving the attention of the legislature.
The Slate from the fair and legitimate use
of her Hank Stock derives annually not less
than from seventy to eighty thousand dol.
lars. It therefore become* our imperious
duly tu protect this branch of revenue, by
enabling the Hanks to bear nr> against the
encroachments and severe requisitions made
on them by the United State* Hoik. Tho’
a measure for lhl» purpose, may have a ten-*
deucy t» lessen the value of our bill* abroad,
yet by it, a valuablo source of revenue, and
a circulating' medium sufficient to supply
the real wants of our citiaens would be se
cured.
I take the liberty of suggesting the re
moval of the Darien Dank tu tho seat of
government. <■
Whether the pecuniary embarassment* of
our fellow citizens require a reduction pflhe
bun hens of taxation, and whether the other
resources for the support of government
would authorize such a measure, are ques
tions respectfully recommended for your
consideration.
In compliance with a resolution of the last_
Legislature, aline has been run, commen
cing at the point of tht Unaca road, where
the line mu under the auperlntemlcnce of
•he honorable Wilson Lumpkin terminates,
timbre on the top of Blue Ridge, meander
ing the same until it intersected the one run
bv Colonel James Biair: and a man of the
hue so run, has been deposited in the office
of the Surveyor General.
Rv a resolution of the last Legislature, I
was authorized to appoint two Commissioners
■o explore the Oquafenoco Swamp, This
service was assigned to, and performed by
William Cone and Wilson Conner, Esquires,
vho will, as directed by the resolution, re
port M the Legislature.
The five hundred copies of the 44 Georgia
Justice,” contracted for by a joint committee
f the last General Assembly, having been
found insufficient to furnish the officers con
templated. an additional number of two hun
dred and thirty-two has been procured and
paid for out of the Contingent Fund, to sup
ply tliis deficiency.
The libel in the name of Miguel De Castro,
against ninety-five African slaves illegally in
• reduced nito thi* state, and the clsim set up
to the same by William Bowen, have been
dismissed in the District Court wherein they
were depending. The Attorney for the
State in this case being of the opinion, when
called on by the Executive, that it was ne
cessary that those on bund should be con
demned subject to the law of the State, by
an adjudication in the District Court) he was
therefore requested to institute auch procee
dings as were necessary, which are now
pending in that. Court.
In compliance with a resolution of the last
Legislature, I addressed a letter to the Gov.
ernop of Mouth Carolina, for the purpose of
procuring a co-operation of the two States in
improving the navigation of the Savannah
river: andfiilthough I received no reply, 1
k.m thro* our commissioners for thi* river
from Augusta to Petersburg!!, that the Board
of Internal Improvement in Soulli Carolina
will co-operate with them in effecting this
important object.
In March last the Surveyor General report
ed that «•> much of the line that hail been run
by Dr. William Greene between the province
•if East-Florid* and this stale, was incoVrcct,
and that it must be run anew from the junc
tion of the Chattdioochee and Flint Rivers
nelorc the surveyors of districts bordering
upon this line could complete their works for
drawing the Lottery, tu consequence of tins
report, I addressed a letter to the honorable
Wilson Lumpkin, with the vieivof procuring
his services an United States* commissioner,
to have it run; in replv, however, 1 was in
formed that he was not at liberty to do s i
Upon which 1 appointed Col. James C. Wat
son, in whose performance 1 hail the utmost
confidence. The hue was commenced by
him at the junction of those rivers, and run
the distance of one hundred and eighteen
•mile*, to a point some distance beyond the
jne dividing the counties of Irwin and Ap
pling. This enabled the surveyors to com
plet? the surveying of the before mentioned
>t nets.
On the twenty-fourth day of June last, the
Surveyor General having reported to this
Department, that the surveying was in a
state of readiness, to commence preparlions
for drawing the Lottery, the Commissioner ,
were convened on the sixth day of July for
the purpose of making the necessary prepar
ation* fop the drawing, which commenced
on the first day of September, is now in pro
gress, and will no doubt be completed with
all possible dispatch. It will be necessary
tlut provisions be made to defray the expen
ses of drawing the Lottery.
The fund.provided to defray the expenses
of surveying the late acquired Territory,
having fallen short, 1 have drawn on the
fund.for the improvement of the Internal
Navigation of this State, for the sum of nine
thousand nine hundred and thirty dollars and
twenty-seven cents to discharge these expen
ses ; and as I am informed by the Surveyor
General, there will be due the Surveyor of
the tenth district of Irwin county the sum of
three thousand nine hundred and thirteen
dollars. It will rest with the Legislature to
reimburse this fund, and to provide for the
payment of the iaat mentioned sum.

Great Fire at New-Haven,'
We have this day to record another to
the catalogue of fires which have occur
red recently in the United States ’I he
city of Mew-Haven has been afflicted with,
the most destructive fire. <-vrr known in
that place. About 11 o’clock m Thurs
day night, a fire broke out in one i.f the
stores on Long Wharf, sai 1 to have com
municated from a stow-, in a chamber; mil
we are informed by Captain Bunker, of
the Steam Boat Connecticut, that twenty
seven buildings in front, and seven in the
rear, were destroyed The Captain staiev
that the goods • wed from the fi-e w.-e
lost, bv being thrown nil' the dock The
wind was high, and the flames spread w th
great rapidity. The burning flakes wen*
blown over to East Haven, amt for sn no
time it was feared the fire would commas
nicate to the building on that tide.
Since the above waa prepared, we have
been favored with an extract of a 'etter
from Ncw-Haven, to a gentleman in thir
city dated yesterday, which says, '■ Last
night we hail the greatest fire ever kno.vn

of the wharf, in the store next south of

to the long range inclusive. It broke out
a little before midnight, and no efforts a-
