The Governor General, (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 of Elchingen left Bayonne for Spain the 1st of this month (Dec.) Cherburg, Dec 2.

Bayonne, Nov. 25 For several days past it has been announced that his . majesty king Joseph will soon pass through this city on his way to Pa ris, To-morrow, the troops forming the first division of the army destin ed. for Spain will begin to arrive. They announce the arrival of more than 100,000 men coming from Ger many who will pass through our city and Perpigtian. Every day 3, 4 or 300 men of the reserve of 1806, 7, 8 and 9, arrive in our city. They are armed and equipped immediately Bayonne never offered such a milita ry appearance. The troops will be received with joy by our inhabitants. Already every thing is ready for the reception of our august emperor. December 16.

After the capture of Ismael, the Russian troops advanced on the right bank of the Danube, and formed the blockade of Silistria. The Russian fleet has al ready bombarded that place. The Asiatic troops who are in the army of the Grand Vizcr desert in great, The Foreign News received by the late arrivals from Europe, afford sufficient grounds to believe, that our differences, both with En gland and France, may ’ere long be 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. The proceedings of Congress to the 8th instant inclusive, were receiv ed by the Athens Mail.

An8 wer of Napoleon 10 the Legis lative Body Gentlemen, the president and de puties of the Legislative body ; the sentiments you have expressed ac cord with my own. I know the at tachment of your body to my person. France needs a monarchy moderate but strong. The present epoch ought not onlv to be distinguished by the glory of the arms of France, but al so bv the prosperity of her com merce ; by the wisdom of her laws, and by the splendor of her arts, sci ences and liierarv acquirements. To bring France to her present Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to in struct our minister at the court of Great Britain, to demand of the Bri tish government an immediate com pliance with the arrangement made 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 nister be directed forthwith to return to the United States. Resolved, That the President ol the United States be requested to in struct qA minister at the court ol Great Britain, to demand of the Bri die Spanish nation, would she whose arms were once clothed with terror, and who now possesses powerful re sources, sink before a feeble force ? Can 11,000,090 of inhabitants tired by a desire of liberty suffer a small military band to thmiple upon their rights—pollute their sacred al tars—desolate their cities, & cause their fields to stream with innocent blood ? Even the savage bosom burns with indignation against his invader : while he willingly offers himself, as a sacrifice, to defend the tombs of his ancestors from the un hallowed touch ol a stranger.

Regretting that any circum stance should exist, to be exhibited is a proof of the “ vandalism” of Georgia, on account of the invidtj ms and inconsiderate reflections cast 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. 8th.

A true extract from the minute*. Wm. Williams, Clk. March 20 21—It whose sacred branches the citizen uid the stranger repose in equal se 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 ted by wealth from America, she has sunk into that indolent lethargic state, from which, neither the invasi on of an enemy, nor the furious din of battle can arouse her. She indeed contends ; but her struggles arc those of expiring desponding liberty.
