Fort Hawkins, Dec. 3. ThqMessago of Wm. McCarty,- acting Go- ruor oi Florida, to lint Legislative Council of the Territory, after reciting that part of Governor Troup’s Message winch eulates to the boundary between this State and Florida, proceeds thus: “Relying alone upon the authorities here referred to, and by giving them what I con sider their true and Legitimate construction, I am brought to conclusions very different from thoso at winch ins Excellency tho late Governor of Georgia has arrived. By the charter, of Georgia, iter possessions extended only us far Soutli as to Aliauiuha; hut this cha*' rter, about twenty yeurs after its dale, was suneudered to the Kiug by tho Trustees of the Corporation, iler 'Jurat of government then underwent a change, aud by a royal pro clamation ol 1/63, Uio limns prescribed by her former charter wore extended from tho Altamatm ro the Si. Marys River. Tho Con federation of seventeen hundred and seventy* eight, and the Constitution of tho United Stales are sdeut’upoft tiro subject; hut the treaty of eighty-tlu eo and of ninety-live, after laying dutvu tho Southern boundary of the United Stales to the junction of the Chatiuiioodne with the Flint, comiuue the course Irom that point “straight to tile bead of St. Mary’s riv er." Tho treaty ol ninety-five commence* will) the declaration “that the two parties have determined to establish, try a Convention, sev eral points, tho settlement whereof mil he productive of general advantage und recipro cal utility, to both nations." The boundary betweeu the two countries was one uf tne two points established by litis ueaty, winch further provides “that the Commissiuuors shall make plats and keep journals of their proccediugs, which shall be considered us part of this Con vention, and shall have die same torce as if they were inserted therein,” Bodi the jour nal and tiio piat of Ehcot, terming “a pan of this Couveunou,’’ aau Having “the same force as if tiiey wore insetted therein," designate a particular stream as the St, Mary’s river, aud ut u particular spot, acknowledged as its head, the point ru.question is solemnly established.— Alter the completion of tho work by tho Span ish and Aincncau Commissioners, und after they had taken the necessary observations to determine lire geographical position of tho stream and point at us head, it is thus described by Eiicol in page 178 of his Journal. “The astrouumicul part of tho boundary between the United States aud hrs Catholic Majesty, be ing. now completed, eye" iu the next pago of the journal he speaks more emphatically of this particular stream as “part of the Southern bouudary of tho United States," aud it is so laid down with the point at its head in his plat of tho survey. As far then us tins journal aud plat designate this stream aud poiut us part of the boundary betweeu the two countries, they are to he read with aud taken as part of the treaty of ’y5, having “tho same force as if they-arete - inserted therein:" • The -Causutu- tiou of Georgia, adopted in ’1)8, nearly three years after the treaty with Spain, and with a lull knowledge of its force aud effect, uses the very language of that treaty, in expressing its acceptance of the samo boundaries. But tho line betweeu the two established points was only protraetdd but nut run aud marked by Eliicott, because of tho threatened hostility of the lmlians. ■ The act of Congress of May 4th, 1826, responding to this state of things, autho rised the Presilient of tho United States, “in conjunction With tire constituted authorities of Georgia” (not to establish corners, for that had been done by the treaty of'95, and assent ed to by tho Constitution of Geoigiaj but to cause the line to be “run and distinctly (park ed.” The same act, n-cogniimg tire treaty as thd*“supreme law’,’ further provides, “that tho line so to be run and ma.ked shall bo straight from tliejunction of the Chaltahoochic and the Flint to tho point designated a& the bead of the St. Mary’s river by the Commissioners ap pointed under the 3d article of the treaty" of 1795. Not having the journals before me, I can only stato it is my impression that the Georgia delegation in Congress introduced and voted for this law, thereby giving a more re cent consent of that stato to the established boundaries of the treaty of’95, than Is to be found iu her constitution. It appears moreo ver from the Message, that the Georgia Com missioner as late as the spring of the present year was “instructed to agree with tho United States' Commissioner, in running the line fronv ’ the monnd of Eliicott” but “it happened that the United States Commissioner was not au thorized to concur." Bnt suppose it had hap*- petted that the Untied States Commissioner had been authorized to concur with the Geor gia Commissioner, (for the United States have no doubt the power to make a new treaty upon the subject) and the mound of Etiicott hud been agreed upon as the true head of the St. Mary’s and adopted" as such hy thoir fepoctiva governments, could the subseqent discovery of this “southern branch" have now afforded grounds for tho abandonment of the “mound” and the adoption of the head of that branch, as tho head of the St, Mary’s? And could jhis deliberate act of the two governments be now called an “error or mistake” and one “arbitra rily determined on?” It is apparent-that this boundary thus established, would havS been as obligatory upon these contracting par ties, as was tho boundary established by the treaty of ’95 "between the United States and Spain. It is equally apparent that if Spain still held the Floridas, that tho could not now be driven to tho head of this “southern branch” nor could she extend her boundary to the head of any northern branch that might have been discovered and ascertained, to penetrate into the country iurther north than the stream, and point acknowledged by tho treaty of *95. Tho act of the Commissioners, which is sty- lod in tho message on “error or mistake” and one "arbitrarily determined on,” being incor porated in the treaty, the title of Spain to all the country south of that boundary, thenceforth became indisputable. It is obvious therefore, that what Georgia never did, and never could , have claimed of Spain, she cannot now recov er of the United States. #•. Tho claim of Georgia to change the present bouudary is made in the message to depend upon the settlement Of two questions which are there slated in these words. “You will „ observe that the first question presenting ijself 1 *, for settlement: between the two governments, is whotlier tho point artrtftarily agreed upon by Eliicott, and tho Spanish Commissioner, as the head of the St. Mary’s now ascertained not to be the head, oven if the stream pursued byJSlli'- cott, shall bO considered as the true head un* . der the treaty of’95. Tho other and only re maining question will be, which is the true head or source of the St.' Mary’s river.” To these interrogations I reply, that tho acts .of tho commissioners Were binding upon "their governments, and adopted beforehand as part of tho treaty, having ‘‘tne same force as if they wero inserted therein." Tho stream theft pursued by them, and designated as the St.- M r- ry’s must bo now received, as such, and the point by them agreed on as its head must “bo considered as the true head under the treaty of 95, even though it may havo heeft “ascertained not to ho tho hoad” of the stream which they pursued. The message also de nominates the lately discovered streams as tho “Southern branch of the St. Mary’s.” 'Sdl the fact that it is longor, nnd discharges mopO \ water than the river into which it empties, does not mako it the rivor itself;’ nor will it justify aq effort to depart from acknowledged boundaries^ which have been assented toby Georgia for a period of more than thirty years; The treaty ef '95 and that of the 22d of'Fc- bruary 1819, could only have been ratified “by and With the consent of the Sonate" of the , United States, as is expressly provided-by tho Constitution, and as Georgia had a full share of representation in that body, sho may fairly be considered as a party to both of those trea ties, as far as her boundaries are concerned.” VARIETY, Automaton Gamblers'. Balcom, the invea-- tor of tho American Chess Player, has also ift, vented an automaton IVhist Rlayci, which is said to bo ablo to hold a pretty stiff hand at the, game. Washington Irvins has received 'from Mr. Murray tho London publisher, it is said, 3000 guineas fur his “Life of Colnmbus.” Mr. Ir ving has been residing in Madrid for two years, collecting materials for th: work: The number of Births in JParis, during tile year 1826, amounted to 29£70; of which up-" wards of one third were illegitimate. Elephants are used on the island of Ceylott, in ploughing their coffee plantations. The Melo Drama of Undine, ortho Spirit of the Waters, has had a long and successful run at the Tremont theatre.
