Insurrcrtion in Poland.—“ A courier, who left
Berlin on the 4th inst. his brought the following
news from Warsaw, which completes the intelli
gence we gave yesterday of tlie recent events in
Poland :— 44 On Monday, the 2!Uh of Novombor
about seven in the evening, an insurrection broke
out at Warsaw. It began, it appears, in the milita
ry school of ensigns. The young men, to the
number of from 500 to 000, took up arms, and
spreading themselves through the town, called the
citizens to arms. A multitude of students and in
habitants noon joined them. They proceeded to
the barracks of tin infantry and the arsenal, which
was taken by ten o'clock. The immense quantity
of muskets and sabres it contained were distribu
te J to the people. Tlie insurrection Ind previous
ly gained the barracks of the infantry. The en
gineer regiment was the first that rose, and several
other re/unonts soon follow »d it. The Grand
Dike Constantino, on tin point of h ung attacked
or surrounded in his palar n , elT cted his retreat
upon Prdga, with his guard, two Russian regiments,
and a regiment of Polish cavalry, who only follow
ed him from a mnseof military honor, but who
will remain neutral, if tli* soldier* do not disband
themselves, or join their follow-citizen* in a body.
The exasperation, for a long time smothered, wai
so very considerable ut the moment of the insur
rection, that some Polish detachments, who at the
commencement refused t > give up their post of
arniN t i »:m p'»o;i!e, were massaerul as traitors.—

I request your attention to the following, which,
th nigh known to few, is entitled to credence in ev
ery respect.
All tlie Spaniards taken bv the Royalist forces
were instantly shot, but on Friday last His Majes
ty was pleased to pardon all the French prisoners.
It appears tliat after the action of Vera, Gen. 1 dand
er wrote to the Minister of War that ho considered
it would be well to spare the lives of the French
made prisoners at that place, and in other partial
e lodgements. Zambrano answered, commanding
bi n to earn into effect the Royal decree of the 1st
of Oct. and to have all the prisoners shot w ithout
the least delay. Llandcr wrote again, and begged
to have his Majesty’s oivn orders before he adopt
ed the measure indicated by Zambrano. A second
answe r more energetic than the first, was returned
by tlie Minister. Gen. Llandcr persisted, and final
ly said that he preferred throwing up his employ
ment to shooting the French prisoners. A most an
gry answer, coupled with threats** was tin* conse
quence, but Llandcr determined not to obey. In
t’ e interval intelligence wan conveyed to Bordeaux
of what was passing, and a* many of the prisoners
bs'ongrd to most respectable families of tUat city,
an I some to the Ecole Polvtechnique, their parents
Met orfl for Pari* and demanded an audience of tlv
King, which wa* immediately granted. Tlie Queen
of France took the mostliv ly interest in the
of tlie young prisoners, who wrote to her
(Queen Christiana.) interceding for their lives.
This letter produced some effect, but the dnv fid-
lowing Mr. Salmon, the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
received a despatch from tlie Count d’ Ofalia, in
which the Spanish Government was given to under
stand that if the French prisoners were sacrificed,
it was very probable tint the frontier towns would
cise, and by entering Spain, might endanger the
iniLot.iinonce of peace between both countries.
The consequence was, that the affair was passed fi»r
deliberation to the Council ofYY’ar, w inch gave a*
•U opinion, 44 That the high reemnmemlati *rs for
laiueucy being shown to the French, were entitled
tp the greatest consideration : tliat their case was
different in every respect, to that of tlie Spanish
Constitutional mi* ; and finally, that the Council left
it entirely to Ion Majesty, whether mercy should be
sho ■n them or not," Thu King OQ sight of this,
4* at the earnest ontret ly of the Queen, was pleaded
tu UjtUA the order to have their lives spared. Count

GEORGIA AND THE HU Pit EM E COURT.
YVe presume that our readers have not forgotten
that, in the course of the last summer, Mr. YVirt,
having been employed by tlie Nation of Cherokee
Indians, to odvoeate their cause before the Supreme
Court of the Union, addressed a letter to the Gover
nor of Georgia, proposing that a case should be
made out and submitted to the judment of tliattribu-
nal, involving the contested principle. Our readers
also, no doubt, remember that to this U tter, propo
sing a course so fair, so open, and, as one w'ould think,
so entirely free from objection, Governor Gilmer
saw fit to reply iu terms of the most indecent vio
lence. throwing out sneers and insinuations as to the
conduct of thut distinguished jurist and lofty-mind
ed man, nnd rejecting contemptuously tlie proposal
he had made. J writ. Tli
The Cherokee* had now' to choose between sub- P‘e writ ot
mission to tlie Legislature of Georgia and nil nppenl be discliar
to the judgment of tin* Supreme Uourt, in the ordi-* *i°(■ bnppt
nary mode, by a writ of error. They preferred the
latter alternative. A case soon occurred. A Chero
kee was indicted under the law of Georg t. convicted
and sentenced to dentil. \Ve know nothing ot the
circumstance of the ease. But God deliver us,—
we speak solemnly, for we feel deeply,—God deliver
us from a trial by the oppressors of our kindred,
e whose complexion resembles our own,

lit be that, under .Mich circumstances, exact and
n justice would he rendered to tin* accused ; hut
probabilities are fearfully against it. It matters
m the present instance, however, wlr.t the pro-
s of trial may have been, ft was the op‘
the parties. Tn s is the form und substance of every
subli citation; and, as in this case, the adverse party,
or the party in \vh >se favor the judgment was g veil,

is placed by , cecdings of tlie United States Court, will pretend
that it has power to interfere with tlie criminal laws
and proceedings of a Stale, and its courts, at least
in the inode attempted. The writ of error, and the
citation, it is said, issued on application, as a matter
of course; they involved not tho merits of the
question; nor, even had the U. States Court tbe
right thus to summons a sovereign State, was the
instrument of such a nature as to require the ab
solute compliance of the party. Hence, although
the Governor and legislature of Georgia, jealous of
its rights and prerogatives, may have been too sen
sitive on the subject, those mischievous politicians
who predict mid hope serious consequences from
this apparent collision, will be much disappointed
The execution ol Tassels took place on the 24th
ult. agreeably to his sentence. Among the larj_
concourse of persons who assembled on tho occa
sion, wore eighteen or t'vmity Indians. No untie
had been served either on the judge or shorifl’of
the county.
The Afational Intelligencer, one of the most dc
cided and respectable opposition prints, speaking
of tho proceedings, und tlie final execution of the
criminal, says,
44 The case has, therefore, wo suppose passed
from tlie Supreme Court; no injunction or super
sedeas having been issued from that court, disobe
dience to which would bring the case before it.”
“It [the writ of error] was a summons, which the
state h id a right to disregard, if she chose; because
if the slut. 1 did disregard it, the case would never
theless have boon examined before tlie Supreme
Court, nnd adjudged according to law, had not the
dentil of the party abated the cause.”
“No legal obligation or injunction exists which
lias been violated by tlie sentence being carried in
to effect.”
“As a case of actual conflict between the Uni
ted States nnd Georgia, therefore, the case has ter
minated with the death ofthe Indian. YVe do not
rejoice in the death of the Indian, even though ho
may have legally incurred the penalty, but we are
glad that the case is ended by reason of that cir
cumstance; for wo arc far from desiring to multi
ply points of conflict between the federal and state
authorities.”
ml. There is no law of tlie United States that
may not be rendered wholly inoperative by any one
of the states. Tlie Supreme Court ofthe United
States has been justly considered as the sheet-an
chor of the constitution ; and while every other de
partment of the government has been contamina
ted within lea* than two years, our hopes have been
placed on this anchor, llow long they may be
permitted to rest there, is only known to him who
ims thus far preserved us. The appointment of
Judges McLean and Baldwin, by the present ad
ministration, was wholly fortuitous, and produced
by a combination of political causes beyond the
control of tlie President. If their scats were now
vacant, there is no doubt they would be filled with
thorough-going nullifiers.

Notice has been given to the authorities of tlie
State of Georgia, that application will be made t;
tho Supreme (.’ourt of the United States in March
next, tor un injunction in behalf of the Cherokee !
nation, against that State, for the purpose of stay- j
ing all proceedings for executing und enforcing
the laws of Georgia within the territory ofthe
Uhcrokces, as designated by treaty between the U.
States and that Nation. If this notice has been re
gularly given wc do not see how the State of Geor
gia can avoid a discussion of the great constitution
al question between themselves and the Clierokees.
Georgia may indeed refuse to appear; but if legal
ly summoned, her absence will not prevent a dis
cussion of tho question. Hanging an Indian will
not answer in this case, ns it did in the late attempt
to obtain a writ of error in favor of Tassels. It
now appears, by the article which we publish from
the Georgia Journal, that tlie citation in the writ of
error was served upon the Sheriff, ns well as upon
the Governor. YVe think the State will be con
vinc’d in tlie end, that there is but one way to get
rid of the power of tlie Judiciary, and that is by
force of arms.

Aok.ncv, at Sci'ddek’s, Jan. 22, 1831.
IFs F.xrellenry Geor<n- It. GPme.r,
Sir—In my letter of tho 15th inst. to your Excel
lency, I mentioned that C >1. Nelson was charged
with an expedition to the Upper Mines. On Monday,
th" 17 li ins!, ho returned t » Head Quarters, having
su vessfully accomplished the object of his inarch.
I regret, however, to add, that in the performance of
tliat duty, he has had to encounter-difficulties of the
most serious and embarrassing nature. I regret it
the io re, inasmuch, ns I rimy have induced the be
lief that the. law in relation to this territory would
he readily submitted to, nnd would itself, thus be
come a sufficient s :!'«-gu ird of the interest it was de
signed to protect. I must confess, however, that I
have been mistaken : not, indeed, in the character
of those from whom the opposition has arisen, but
from the and outrageous manner of their re
sistance. Col. Nelson, in his enterprise upon Da
niel's (Upptr Mines.) having succeeded in arresting
several person*, guilty of working tho mines since
the 1st., their friend* und former associates became
apprised by some means of their capture, nnd from
their subsequent conduct, no doubt, resolved upon
their relt aoe. For this purpose, they assembled ini
force (between 50 and GO) early in the morning nf tli-*
It Ith, nt Leather’s Ford, having uscertairnd that the -
command with tlie prisoners, would cross the Clias
tute e at that place. The first act of their hostility
was indicated by their having caused a number oF
obstruction a in the passage of the river with the
view of harrussing the detachment and otherwise
perplexing and retarding its movement*. These
were, however, avoided without any great difficulty
und tho opposite shore having been reached in t
ty, the van escorting the prisoners, resumed its lino
of march. It had proceeded but a short distance,
when the Sergeant commanding tlie rear, brought
intelligence ol’its being attacked, to (ml. Nelson*
Having secured the prisoners (11 in number) with a
sufficient guard, he hastened immediately to the-
scene of engagement. Upon his approach, the as
sailant i desisted from their attack, witH tlie excep
tion of three, who continued the assault with great
fury, until checked by the bayonet. One of these,
the vilest of tho vile, received a couple of severe
wound*, believed at the time, to have been mortal ;
hut upon examination, it was found that he was not
likely to experience the fate so richly merited by his
infamous life, nnd still more infamous conduct in
this affray. Previously to the rencounter, he had, I
learn, profi s u'd the utmost contempt of Georgia, her
laws, her officers, denied her jurisdiction over this
territory, and encouraged these who were inclined,
to violate her recent enactments in relation thereto,
with tho protection of his ralorous arm. In the prac
tical demonstration of his prowess, ho has learned a
lesson, which may hereafter he serviceable to him
self, and a hint to all others who may be disposed to
invade our rights or infringe our laws. Its good ef
fect-: have already been experienced, for 1 under
stood, that no less than 70 of these desperate and
abandoned wretches have suddenly disappeared from
their former haunts in the settlements. Even before
the occurrence of the affair at the Ford, individual
members of tlie guard, when alone, had been insulted,
and menaced in a manner that evidenced the most in
veterate A rancorous feeling. Aware oftheir hostility,
from what lie too had seen, Col. Nelson advised his
men to a cautious and circmnspectdeportmeiit whilst
passing them.cV to refrain from any expressions or ob
servations, in tiie most remote degree calculated to
enrage .or provoke them. In obedience to this order,
tiie command were proceeding quietly and peaceably,
when the outrageous abuse of this horde, elicited a
reply from one of his men. In an instant, as if by
pre-concert, the whole clan commenced gathering
stones, billets of wood, and every species of missile,
discharging them nt the guard. It was with the ut
most difficulty that they were restrained from return
ing this unexpected salutation with a volly of mus
ketry— Yg iin and again were their pieces levelled,
whilst the often repeated, order “ reserve your fire,”
alone prevented their discharge. Your Excellency
will discover in Ibis attack, a plan previously arranged
and d. ;. s‘,. -.1 with considerable military tact. They
caicu!.ited th: t by engaging with the rear, that th*
front having charge of the prisoners, would be ne-
cess trilv ' ailed to its relief, und that an opportunity
would thus he pres nted of effecting their escape in
the contusion which would ensue. Tho precaution
ofthe commanding officer prevented the accomplish
ment of this design. Having failed in their attempt,
they next sought his arrest by legal process, nnd ac
cordingly a warrant was obtained, demanding the
surrender of li’iuselfand command. Seeing the ve
ry improper purpose for which this writ was issued,
he determined tliat it should not prevent him from
doing li:s duty, and accordingly marched to Gaines
ville with Ii:* prisoners, where eight of them were
committed lor trial at tlie next court. Having thus
gott* :i rid of his charge, he declared that it was nei
ther In* wish nor intention, whilst apprehending
to oppose any resistance
»•• lit) had pursued, was
its discharge, he
1 •» submit himself to
other* for violating the law,
to it himself; that the cour
founded in a sense of duty
had done wrong, he was willing
any tri! mini having cognizance of his oft’, nee. The
line and cry against the Guard for its conduct in this
transaction, has spread tar nnd v ide, through the
country. I alsuhnods, accusing them of crimes of
tin* most atrocious and aggravated character, are. dai
ly fahr.o iU d and civcub'.U’d for the purpose of ren
dering them odious to the public. Tlie motive for
this is too palpable to he mistake n for a single mo
ment. I he mines under the protection given them,.
