(Signed) BELI.IARD.
The passage through Bayonne of
the troops of the first division of the
army of reserve was to cease the 4th
or Jth of this month (Dec.) The
destination of these troops is for
Victoria, where the head-quarters
w.ill be established. The marshal duke

past it has been announced that his

through this city on his way to Pa

To-morrow, the troops forming
the first division of the army destin

They announce the arrival of more

300 men of the reserve of 1806, 7, 8

Bayonne never offered such a milita

Already every thing is ready for the

The Foreign News received by
the late arrivals from Europe, afford
sufficient grounds to believe,
that our differences, both with En

finally settled. The British Govern
ment by disavowing the conduct of
Mr. Jackson, and expressing an in
tention of sending out immediately
another minister with full powers to
adjust all existing differences, has
manifested at least the appearance of
an amicable disposition. That such
a disposition has heretofore existed
we have every reason to doubt:
any rate, if not inimical to us, Bri
tain has been peculiarly unfortunate
in the selection of her Ministers to
this country. We sincerely hope
that her next Negociator may be more
prudent and more successful than his
precursors.

France needs a monarchy moderate
but strong. The present epoch ought
not onlv to be distinguished by the

by their minister, Mr. Erskine, with
this government, comprising atone
ment for the attack on the Chesa
peake, and a relinquishment of the
orders in council; and that on failure
to execute that arrangement, our mi

by a very few of its cisizens, on
the profession of the law ami law
yers, we deem it a duty to obviate
the ungenerous aspersions bv expres
sing the high degree of respect and
estimation in which we hold that
learned and useful profession. *
At the same time we present as a
grievance, thc dangerous and increas
ing practice which has obtained in
the Legislature of this State, of ad
mitting unqualified and unexamined
characters to plead and practice in thc
courts thereof by special s&t. The
law heretofore pointing out the mode
of admission to practice after a care
ful examination by the court and bar,
We earnestly,,recommend to be so a-
mended as to increase the difficulty
of admission, and by this means ex
clude the unworthy and unqualified.
For candidates to submit to an ex
amination bv persons acquainted with
their characters, and competent to
judge of their qualifications and ca
pacity for practice, we deem reputa
ble to themselves, and the most ef
fectual mean to perpetuate & secure
the respectability of the profession,
and as conducive to the general hap
piness of society by operating as the
preventative of frivolous and vexati
ous suits at law.

congratulate our fellow citizens, that
we have had during the present term
so little occasion to exercise censorial
powers; having examined into the in
terests of the county, we find that
the officers in the different depart-
nents are in the discharge of their
luties, and have done so entirely to
our satisfaction.
■ We request that these our present
ments be published iii the Georgia

curity. Here no execrable tyrant
seizes the possessions of the humble
poor ; or sports with the lives of his
subjects, in satiating his ambition.
Though the discovery of the western
continent has been the source of in
numerable blessings to Americans ;
yet, if rightly understood, it can be
no source of joy to Spain. Inunda

has sunk into that indolent lethargic
state, from which, neither the invasi

those of expiring desponding liberty.
