The AertrpoVrof Alhent, April 30, (May 12,) 1327.”
Captaiu L.P Bl on: brought back this afiswor
on the morning of the i3.lt, to the Phalerus,
to Gen Church, who having hoard tho Acro
polis briskly cannonaded on the night of the
Utli, had imagined that tho negotiation of tho
French officer had not a favorable result. Un
der these circumstances,-the General resolved
to remain in tho Phalerus, which ho would
probably have loft if the garrison of tho Acro-
poiis had accepted tho proposed terms.
On tho 13ihof May Com. Him llon ar
rived on board the Cambrian, with a brig an I
corvette, in the poi t of Si.iainis, where the T.al
beit was already waiting fur him; and it is said
that two more men of war tiro expected. Cap
tain II .niilton met near tho island ot Scipho,
l>;i Turkish ships of war, two of which weto ol
74 guns. These vessels wore also seen by the
American frigate Constitution, which is at an-
chor at Egiiin, The humbaschi, (colonel ol tho
Turkish garrison of tho monastery of St. Sjvri-
don, whom General Church, by bis personal
exertions, bad saved, when the Greeks, in
spite of the capitulation, had raassacrend the
greater part of die Turkish garrison,) had boon
rcceivod at tho. request of Gen. Church on
board tho Austrian corvette 11 Vineto, Cap
tain Korncr. This officer hiving'heard that
. it was proposed to remove the Tut ki.li officer
to Colonel 11 imiltou’s ship, applied to Gener
al Church, and represented to him, that the
Turk by the terms of capitulation was free on
parole, and ought to bo sdut to the Turkish
camp. General Church replied that he was
entirely of tho same opinion, ami requested
the Austrian captaiu to cause a ho bombaschi to
to bo given tip.
On the 13ih of May, Captain Korncr, after
having sent word to the Scraskier, at his invi
tation repaired to his camp, where ho learnt
f;om tho Sernskier himself, that Ibrahim Pti-
c!u, who had received orders from his father
to jolts him (the Seraskicr,) was on his march
frurn Corinth, wbero ho would go to moot him
in u few days.
On tho 14ih, in the evening, a very brisk
• firing, which continued about half an hour, was
heard all along the Turkudi lines. It was pre
sumed that some event had occurred—-perhaps
a sally of tho gurrisnu. Today, tho 15 h, wo
loam that it was a feu de juic of tho Turks,
probably on the news of the Ibrahim’s appro.rvh
or the arrivtd of.fiesh reinforcements from
. Constantinople. Tho Grocks in the Plule-
'rus answered by a brisk lire on llioir side.”
This wc must decline, at loast for the present
—not from hostility to hint or his Cana), but
bo.causo we think the subject (and particularly
his stylo of treating it,) not sufficiently inteteat
ing to tho public. We will however give some
extracts as specimens of hie'mode of reasoning,
which may he considered fair samples of tho
whole:
“The only grand difficulty now in tho way,
ns is generally the case upon any public sub
ject in our southern country, h the want of a
unison of mental co-operation—the practicabil
ity and cost of the design lvtviiy; been scientifi
cally ascertained; and tho excavation of our
twelve and a half tn'los canal, through a hive!
clay soil, would ho far lets difficult, than that
of excavating tho porirrairums of mv good
fellow citizens west of the Oconee, and in tho
'southern counties about Brunswick.”
“It is true I have been zealous, and perhaps,
loo lavish of my native public spirit of philan
thropy, and my money, upon an unenlightened
and ungrateful community.”
“f did licit make tho country, and yot it is an
unnatural and an ungrateful tact, that the most
influential presses and. men of Georgia would
pat mo down, and cast me overboard, for de
scribing and pointing out -its most prominent
natural advantages.”
“My knowledge of this subject, in all its
bearings, is practical; as well as personal: and
when jho people may arrive at the same
m-amof judging, I am no: in the loast concern
ed as to tlit* “result”—although “Mr. Davis” in
conformity with the general rule of our belov
ed Republican country, ever grateful with an
Eagle’* cyo to the reward of merit, like a
Chicken in the t jons of a Hawk, wdl, no
.doubt, bo honored, most bountifully, with that
kind of false friendship which comes after
death."
His observations on tho popple and press-
03 of Georgia, are ungenerous and unjust. In
our opinion the public have been sufficiently
gorged with his lucubrations—that tlioy are not
rend, nor puhlklied, is the fault of himself—lot
him write more to the point; speak less of him
self, and more of his subject. It is not true
that editors wish to put him down, orfast him
overboard. Because they do not choose to pub
lish every thing ho tacks together withour re
ference to any subject, it is no proof that they
wish to suppress facts.

Georgia Messenger. It is hardly necessary
to tuii.ee the dolorous croukings of the last
Messenger. Every person who hns paid the
least attention to passing events, knows, that
as far as respects ourselves, the editors of tlmt
paper cm have no grounds of complaint. Un-
1 squib after spuib of scurrilous and abusive
insinuations had appeared against us, our da-
portmout towards that print and its editors was
certainly courteous; and- it was not until for
bearance had ceased to bo a virtue that wo or
our correspondents descended. to notice them,
This tho soi-disant “Messenger of Peace”
calls “ throwing the gauntlet !” nnd is entitled
to equal credit with -some other of its asser
tions. As they have advanced no argument,
either in justifying themselves or iu abusing us
is unnecessary fo wade after thorn through a
whole column of ptiorilo egotism •, csjmcially,
as wo havo not tho vanity to suppose, that any
thing wo could say on such a subject would be
vastly edifying to the public. A few obsorva-
ons of theirs, however, require attention:
They boast, that they have “ slrovo to concili
ate the feelings of all 1” that they have not ta
ken “ those advantages which might havo in
creased n breach in private friendships,” and
benefitted themselves otfQ their friends politi
cally! that “ tho frailties and errors, Or suspi
cions of error in individuals, were passed o-
ver!” 'All this may do very well to tell those
who do not read, and by such may be behoved.
But to thoso who recollect tho slanderous and
abnsivo pieces that havo toomed from that
press, it may croato some surprise, if' any thing
that appears in that paper can create surprise.
How far they havo cr.dAnrored to conciliato
feeling, and closo breaches,lot the public judge.
That they havo often passed over and even
winked a* tho “ frailties and crrors ,r of their
representations; but as longer silence might be Con
strued into a sanction of the falsehood, we now state,
unequivocally, that Macon is at this time healthy, and
lias been so considered through the rammer. Wo
make bold to say, that no village or county in the
state, according to population, enjoys greater health
than tliis. As a proof, physicians neglect mediciqg
for politics; nnd quacks swallow their own nostroms
in despair.

Mr. Editor—As thoro exist :n tliis.county
some doubts concerning the import of Colonel
Laium's speech on the subject of extending the
lime- for taking out land grants nnd reducing
tho fees on them, which ho delivered in the
lower house of the legislature on the Hth of
November. 1823, I herewith transmit to you
a copy of it as published in the Georgia Jour
nal of IS;h of the same momli, the correctness
of which neither his friends nor foes can ques
tion: [
“Mr. Lamar rose and made some remarks on the
mode that had been pursued in the discussion, which
lie thought tvas incorrect. He supported the sections
of the bill extending the time of taking out the grants,
and opposed the reduction of fees on grants lit tho
late lottery. When the trill was brought before this
house for its determination as it now stands, and the
question taken xvficilicr it should puss or not, he
was driven to the alternative of negativing it. and
consequently voting against indulgence of protracting
the time al" which grants should issue, or supporting
by Ids vote the reduction oi'tho fees on those grants.
Believing the ev'-is of the former remediable by iogis-,
1 alive interference, and those* of the latter, since
grants lnid issued, to be without a corrective, he vot
ed against Its passa ge; lit- then went on to esk if the
expenses incurred by the disposition of the lands had
been refunded: the expenses of surveying—-the ex
pense!, of Ihe extra session—the expenses of the lot
tery/ Have tl:c3» been refunded/ No: and these
expenses will, in all probability, exceed the revenue’
arising from thoaale of fractious and reserves.
“He replied to ttiegehtfemsn from Columbia, ond
contended that future acquisitions of territory, would
bo no acquisition Jo the treasury, in as much as tlie
same course wosiVl be pursued that had been pursu
ed heretofore. They would be disposed of by lot
tery. Mr L. did not cajj in question the propriety of
past lotteries, but there was no pledge—it was im
proper that there should lie a pledge—it was unjust
that past errors should sanctify a similar course in
future. It is contrary to reusou—it is inconsistent
with justice.”
The meaning is obvious enough to remove
nil dduixsou the subject: Ho at firs; support
ed the extension and opposed tho reduction, but
at last opposed both, or negatived the exten
sion a* well qs the reduction. It i* also fully
ns clear, that lie was directly hostile to the dis
position of land by lottery, oil tho ground that
such a practice brought no money into .ho trea
sury;* that as no pledge had been given for the
disposal of lands in such a way, it would be tm-
proper that tliero should be' a pledge, for land
lotteries in future: because “it was unjust that
past errors shoulj sanctify a similar course in
future”—or the sanction which hid hitherto
been given to ; he erroneous principlo of l-md
lotteries, should be bo authority for tolerating
that method hereafter, .
As to the coiiectnoss or impropriety of such
sentiments, I express no opinion. If they be
adapted to the prosperity of ihu country and
the private welfare of individuals, Colonel La
mar most certainly deserves credit for prefer-
tug Ids duty lo an acquiescence with the majo
rity of die legislature and (he probable accla
mations of.a season: for die approval of a good
conscience, us it depends not on tho vicissi
tudes of opiu.on, is tho pro,nest mid most du
rable solace of Lie, and tho surest presage
of eternni felicity. But should these v.ows of'
the Colonel be considered as. deir.mcntal to
the improvement of tho country and the Imp.
pines* of the common people, whose interest
ought abvuys to be the chief aim of legislation,
it becomes the duty of the voters in Bibb coun
ty to withhold from him their confidence, whe
ther his opinions result from a feeble hut good-
intending intellect, or from so irees loss inno

od on July 31st; which on the 7di instant was
followed by a similar kindness; succeeded on
tho.14th by a corresponding favor; which was
repeated in extenso on the 21st.—Tho first

Messenger, [for lie excludes the idea of pltira-
lity, by informing the world that lie saw “tills
society” “when our streets and gardens were

pondent signed “Tit," on the 6th instant—two
full moat Its after the attack by “Sucker,” aud
ill replication to an editorial inuendo in the
Messenger of the 31st ultimo against the edi
tor of t bo Telegraph. The Telegraph of the
13th contained the first editorial allusion in
this paper to the editors of the Messenger,
being a rejoinder to that print’s editorial cour
tesy of die 7th instant: the same Telegraph
contained, strictures by a Ploughman, on the
modus oporandi of editorial reasoning in tho
Messenger on law, logic and antiquities. In
tho Telegraph of Ihe 20tli, Hawkins compli
mented tho gentleman for sorno ill manuorly
and unfounded assertions; and theso comprise
all the noticos with which the Telegraph has
until now honored him. It is. tints evident;—
and ho is callod upon to produce counter tes
timony;—it is thus indubitable, that with re
gard to tho papers; so far as attacks havo been
made upon either print, by editor or correspond
ent, the Messenger has been tho assailant;—
and the stammering of its editor some few
months ago is too generally kfiown, to boliovo
his uftertion, that by him “tho frailties and
errors, or suspicions of error, in. individuals
which affected nt

that he is compelled to do so in self de

^ FOR THE MACON. TELEGRAPH.
WHO IS TIIE AGGRESSOR!
As unwarrantable persecution and unpro
voked attack are foreign to decency and hos
tile to justice, it may not be amiss to inquire
into the truth of tho averments contained in
the appended paragraph, extracted from the
oditorial head of tho Messenger, dated Au
gust 21, 1827:
“A sense of doty reluctantly urges us Into the
lists with the Moron Telegraph. It was not sought
for, and U not desirable. But for once, we ore ob
lige iV to speak, not only of ourselves, but also of our
antagonists. The gauntlet has been often thrown,
and xvc have as Ircquently spurned it, until now,
when justice, to ourselves and friends, requires' that
we should act in the defensive. At the same time,
we are aware, that the peace, harmony, and wel*
fare of the society in which we move has not de
manded, and does not sanction it on their part, nor
will approve of any thing more than the defensive
on ours."
This indeed is a doleful picture of spotless
innoccnco suffering under the rancor andscur
rility of a nwligu cabal, lie has cautiously
No. V.
Notwithstanding Jlr. Forsyth’s professions
of devotion to tho interests of Georgia, his
philippic on the.“ Bill making appropriations,
to carry into effect tho Treaty concluded bc-
tweeu the United States and '.ha Creek Na
tion, ratified the 22d April, 1825,” commonly
jcallod tho New Treaty, shews that his conduct
as a representative is dictated more by his awn for matter to prop up their hopes'^n ! d ! 3
iiitorcst and promotion, than by any regard for 1 the commutMiy, Forsyth’s subalterns r.ro :t 1

will we condemn him. And wc shall bo able thin, No contrivance i* ; too nb;i:; ■! on I
Ito shew that ho said onio thing and acted ano- statemen^top palpable, for tbo : !
ither; and that ho said ono thing 'in oiio mo-,
mem, nnd another in the nex'.
I n the course of the debate on that bill, there
was a motion to .amend, so ns to indemnify
emigrating Indians lor their improvements, &c.
To this il was replied, that there was n bill re
pent'd fiotn the Senate, embracing the sub-
s.anco of the proposed amendment, and the
mover of the amendment expressed his willing
ness "to withdraw his motion. Mr. Forsyth
objected to the motion being withdrawn, till
the provisions of tho Sennic’s bill should ho
shown to the House. Mr. Tattnall replied,
that the bill did embrace the amendment pro
posed, &;c. Mr. Forsyth said “liewas now
satisfied that the provisions of the lull did cov
er the .amendment proposed by the chairman
of the committoo of ways and mentis ; nnd lie
would t ike this opportunity to express his sat
isfaction that the secretary of war had become
more justjn his view of this subject th in ho
had been some time since.”—“ He took it for
granted, that this reasonable, this just recom
mendation from tho department of war, would
be adopted and complied with by the House.”
This is at onco saying that ho was Satisfied
with tho provisions of tho bill, and hoped that
it would pass. But pursue him a little fnnher,
and you hear Mr. Forsyth breaking out in the
most inflammatory declamation against the Pre
sident and all concerned in tho transaction, and
opposing tho whole provisions of tho Bill. Hero Jjo the population of South Carolina,
then is ono instance in which Mr. Forsyth has hundred thousand—proof itrofr»gable of “W

ttoceeds, and in anqjhcr part of his h irangue,

of Georgia. “But, says he, it is the intention
