It is stated in the intgomcry paper, that it is probable, when report of the delegates is received, a large r of the Creeks will be willing to emigrate mediately; that at present starvation irini them in the face, and that there never s a more favorable time for effecting a trea- fortlie balance of their lands than the pre- Tliis statement is not corroborated by meet rerent information from the Creek ntry, nnd the determination of the Council ips otherwise.

Comparative productiveness of a Sugar Plant ation in Jjouisiana to a Cotton Plantation in Alabama. We collect the following facts from the La fourche Gazette. As a general rule, the sugar raised on a plantation, is considered a clear pro fit to the cultivator. The molasses &c. de fray all the oxpenscs. A gentleman on the Bayou Lafourche, who had 125 arpents of cane in cultivation, and employed 25 hands, made last year 130 hogsheads of sugar, each weigh ing about 1,200 lbs. the market price of which at 7 cents per 11). is $10,920! Another person who had ten and a half ar pents in cultivation, with three hands, realized $2,304, being $768 to each hand. Lot us now turn to Alabama. Say one hand will cultivate 7 acres of cotton, at the ave rage rate of 800 lbs. per acre—this at 2 cents per lb. will amount to $112—difference in fa vor of the Sugar Planter, $655. And what is worst of all, wo arc here mewed up in a corner, which prevents us from getting our produce to market, in any tiling like a reasonable time. N. B.

A final disposition, we loam, was made yes terday, in the Supreme Court, of the various questions arising under State Insolvent Laws, which have been so repeatedly argued,, and so long under advisement. The result is, that where the contract is made between citizens of the State where the law exists, a discharge under such law is a valid defence; so also, if made with the citizen of another State, if such citizen shall choose to sue, and the causo pro ceed to judgment in the Courts of the Stale where the. law exists. But if the contract be made between a citizen of the State where the law exists and the citizen of another Stale, the party claiming under the contract may sue in his constitutional forum, the Courts of the U- nited States, and a discharge under a State Insolvent Law will not bar an action. As to contracts mndo before (lie passage of such laws our readers are aware that they are not held subject to the operation of those laws even be tween citizens of the same State.—hational Intelligencer, 24th ultimo. SUPREME COURT. The Supreme Court adjourned yesterday after tin arduous session ot ten weeks. The industry and vigour with which the members of the Bench have applied themselves, for so pro tracted a term, to tho important business before them, are worthy of all commendation, and fit to be examples even to younger men. Ab staining altogether from, or partaking very sparingly, in the hospitality and society of tho city, they have given their days to the hearing and their early mornings and evenings to the consideration of tho many important and inter esting causes which have come before them from the different parts of tho Union. A vast number of cases has been decided—wc believe nearly 80. Our friends at the liar inform us that an unusual portion of them, have occu- iicd a groat length of time in discussion. Tltero m o boon also diflercnccs of opinion on tho Bench, in more cases than usual. Among these cases of diflerence, as we gather from the min utes of proceedings which have beeu published, are the questions upon State Bankrupt Laws, in its various branches; the case of tho United States against Dandrige, involving much mat ter in connection with the law of Corporations; a question on the extent of the Admiralty Juris diction; and a question of insurance law respec ting tho liability of underwriters on cargo for freight, in certain cases, &c. &c. &e. These and other causes, having been much discussed on the Beach, as well, .as at the bar, must ne cessarily, we presume, swell the reports of tho term to tin unusual length. It seems generally understood, that the alteration of tho time for tho commencement of the term will prove ef fectual for the purposes intended by it; and will enable tho Court shortly to obtain tho mastery over its docket. Tho number of suits and ac tions added to tho list since last year, is not, wo leant, half so great as the number which has been disposed of, and struck from the list at tho present term.—Nat. Intel. 17th inst. It is stated in the Philadelphia Aurora, that Commodore Baindridce, on tho. first June, will retire from his station as President of the Navy Board, and resume tho command of the Naval station at Philadelphia. engineer, Thcro are to be built six locks; three of them arc in a state of more or less progress.— The Savannah tide lock, near the river, has cost a considerable sunt; hut by miscalculation, a part of it will require to ho taken up and re built, and the whole to be secured more per manently. This is a state of things that ought not to have occurred; but the delay, difficulty and expenso are chargeable on the contractors for allowing tho builders to erect it insecurely —and on the engineer whose daily revision and attention ought to have foreseen and pre vented them; and, under any circumstances, to have refused a requisition for such imperfect work, as unworthy of being paid for. Lock No. 2, north of Little Ogechce, is in a state of progress to completion, but not so much so as it should have been. It is not so important a work as the Savannah tide lock, Lock No. 3, south of the Little Ogechee, is still more forward; and that can be more read ily completed than either of the othors, from much having already been done on it. There arc now employed in the line, about four hundred and forty-nine laborers; and, in addition, a proportion of mechanics. The principal part of the laborers are blacks, which furnish a very effective and manageable force; and they will continue to labor probably throughout the summer. Tho contractois have been lately ordered to place a torcc oil the line of tho canal, to make it equal to four hundred effective men, which is now executed as by a- bove statement and engineer’s report. The stockholders are informed, ihat De Witt Clinton, jun. esq. engineer, recently, resigned Ins appointment, on the 9th inst. The board were surprised, hut cheerfully assented to the measure. Mr. Gill, one of the assistant engi neers, was placed in ihe station of Mr. Clin ton, and discharges the duties so far to the sa tisfaction of the board. Mr. Clinton's reasons for resignation have been asked by the directors, and furnished; and their reply is considered as ample refuta tion of the charges he makes and the reasons assigned. As a consequence of Mr. Clintou's resigna tion, Mr. W. II. Morel, an assistant engineer, declined acting on a survey for a canal route, from the Ogechoo 10 the Alaiamaba, thereby making useless an expense incurred lot the out fit of the parly; but tho board arc of opinion, that in their next selection of engineers as as sistants, that their choice will tall oil those who, like Mr. Gill, can he commended lor pci |k r (• who has J T( ,nc ^Mediterranean, will go as agent. ^ hurricane has swept over the Canary riv.

It wns impossible The following anecdote is quoted from the new Philadelphia Quarterly. The review of American Biography, from which this is taken, contains a number of interesting incidents and characters. When the British army held possession of Philadelphia, general Ilowe’s head-quarters were in Second street, the fourth door, below Spruce, in a house which was occupied by general Cadwallador. Directly opposite re sided William and Lydia Darrah, members of the society of Friends. A superior officer of tho British army, believed to be the adjutant general, fixed upon one of their chambers, a back room, for private conference; and two of them frequently met there, with fire and candles, in close consultation. About the 2d of December, tho adjutant general told Lydia that they would bo in the room at 7 o’clock, and remain late; aud that they wished the fa mily to retire early to hod, adding that when they were going away they would call her to let them out, and extinguish their fire and can- dlus. She accordingly sent all the family to bed; but as the officer had been so particular, her curiosity wns excited. She took off her shoes, and put her ear to the keyhole of the conclave, and overheard an order read for all the British troops to march out Into in the even ing of the 4th, and attack general Washington’s army, then encamped at White Marsh. On hearing this, she returned to her chamber, and laid down. Soon after, the officers knocked at the door, hut she rose only at tho third sum mons, having feigned herself asleep. Her mind was so much agitated, that from this moment she could neither eat nor sleep; supposing it to be in her power to savo tho lives of thou sands of her fellow countrymen; but not know ing how she was to convey the information to general Washington, not daring to confide to her husband. The tinio left, however, was short. Sho quickly determined to make her way, as soon as possible, to the American out posts.

The directors have had some difficulties u- rising from the joint contract of E. Jcncksaml D. Vail Slyke. But they are determined to proceed systematically and steadily with them, as ihe only means of doing justice to the stock holders; and enforcing the performance, or ab andonment of the connect, at all hazards. Tho board is of opinion, that they can now bu more effectually controlled than under the adminis tration of Mr. Clinton, aud trust their calcula tions will not be disappointed. The intention is siiil held, of employing a competent persou to continue, or renew the survey of tho canal route from ;ho Ogechee to the Alatamaha, it being essential to the inter ests of the ciiy, and ol the present work, that it should be extended to the Alatamaha. The hoard has received from tho state trea sury, iiy the act of the legislature, incorporat ing the company, fifty thousand dollars in Darien bank notes, and the bond of the company has been furnished for that amount, on terms ot said act. On tho stock subscribed, uventy-nine thou sand five hundred dollars has been received, and on eight hundred and severny-four shares the fifth instalment has heen paid. In addition to these items, ihe city has taken one hundred shares of the stock, and tho arrangements have heen made by which the Planters’ Bank will take the same amount. Thcso together, one thousand and seventy four shares, on which the board rel'cs with confidence, for a suffic ient fund for the completion of tho canal. The wholo amount expended is fifty-four thousand six hundred and sixty dollars, and all engagements paid up to the 7th instant, nnd leaving a balance in'hand, about twenty-four thousand dollars, principally in Darien bills. This, with the two next instalments, payable on the 24th instant, and in April, will produce a fund of forty-five thousand dollars, for th9 further prosecution of the work. It is calculated, that there will yet be found other individuals in tho community, who will come forward, as their interests demand, and press forward the work with renewed energy. It needs tho co-opcration of all, and there cannot he a reasonable doubt, that the advan tages of this canal, and its continuation to the Alatamaha, are so evident, that all concerned in the prosperity of the city, will lend a helping hand. The directors feel thafthey have been no vices in the business of canalling, but consider themselves evory day better prepared for giv ing progress to such a work; and they feel as sured, that in future they can so operate, as to prevent too large payments to be made to con tractors, by knowing how to form more accu rate judgment of their labor, See. . Tho duties undertaken by your directors are much more arduous/ than they were expected to he, nnd time and labor have been expended, which have been necessarily subducted from their ordinary business, which could be illy spared; but our hands were on tho plough, and to turn back, or desert your interests, wotdd havo been unjust.
