Extract of a Letter, dated
“Rio Janeiro, Oct. 27, 1627.
“The Cortes have passed a law, which 1ms
received the Imperial sanction placing the rlu
ties on imports from all nations at fifteen per
cerit.'ieithout regard to treaties."
New York, January 5.
From Rio Janeiro.—The ship Ponio, from
Rib Janeiro, utrievd here, left the former place
on the 18.It of November.
Wo learn by this arrival that Mr. Allen, late-
Minister to Chili, had arrived, with Ills lady, at
R.o, on his way io the United States.
The law wlitcli had passed the Brazilian
Cortes, equalising the duties on all foreign
merchandise, had not received the Imperial
sanction. "The Cortes was dissolved ou the
15.ii November, without passing the law au
thorising .foreign vessls to enjoy the privilege
of the coasting trade.
.A letter fioui Rio of the 15th November,
recieved'by the Portia, stales that the Maria
Isabel, (formerly the steam ship Robert Ful
ton) sailed from that port on a cruize, in put-
suit of tlio Buenos Ayrean man of war Con-
greso, which Imtl annoyed their commerce ve
ry much, even "in tlio mou It of the harbor,
The Marin had on board (lie original arma
ment which she took \t iili her fruiu tins port
and a eo nplomont of 240 men.
From Colombia.—By the schooner William,
arrived .last night, the editors of the Gazette
have received papers from Maracaibo and
Cahhagena to lift 9th ult. The most interest
ing news is an account of an earthquake which
was felt at Bogota, amt in its vicinity, on the
l6:h Nov. A letter from that city, dated Nov.
21, states that pile trembling was horrible; that
excepting that of the.Capuchin, nut one church
remained uninjured; that half the houses in the
city weto rendered untenable, and more than
one half of the rest would need considerable
repair. From Bogota to Ibaguc, not a single
church or brick house was leh standing. The
earthquake was not felt in Letva and Caqtieza.
The motion of the earth was perceptible lot
more than 24 hours. The offices of the se
cretary of \Var, &c. were destroyed. Tne
Liberator's house was one uf tlio few that re
mained uninjured.
The suimi> "paper contains an official commu
nication, stating that the difficulties which
have ex.stud tu Guayaquil orb happily termi
nated.
A part of the report of the Liberator's Se
cretary General to the Congress of Colombia
is also giveu.—The Secrotary alludes to the
embarrassments which want of free communi
cation, a defective currency, uud judii tal do-
lays have produced in commerce, and states
that the at eniion of government will be di
rected to these subjects.
Tito Maracaibo Liberal ef the 9th ult. men
tions a report that the Consul General of
Holland had fallen in a duel at Bogota.
A letter received by tho schooner William,
addressed to “the Editors of the public papers
in New York,” and signed “A Merchant of
Maracaibo," states, that the Danish brig For-
tuna, from New York,” via. St. Thomas,
which arrived at Maracaibo Dec. 3, having
on board no other cargo than 25 bbls. of flour,
had been seized in consequence of three small
rolls of old and decayed tobacco having been
fouud beneath some casks of water and rubbish,
4 and which the captain supposed must acciden
tally have remained from a former cargo, as
he had taken much pains in examining the
men and vessel previous to arrival. The ves
sel was immediately condemned, and the cap
tain and crew were put under guard on board
their vessel immediately after the seizure, and
the former was.only prevented from being cast
into the common prison, with thieves tmd o-
ther villains, by the kind interference of Mr.
cor coiinti toditig the Spnirsh stjodrott, on tint
opposite side of the bay, of hii expedition hum:'
on for tho pm peso of depredating upon Span
ish commerce, for the purpose ofrocovoi.ua
the value of a Aloroqtieeli cargo condemned a
Cadiz about four years ago. The commander
will acco:dingly be on the look out.
PllILAOE'.PflIA, Dec. 29.
But one L'verpool paper, of the 20sit o!
November was rococo ) by the Arab, arrive]
at this pot t, front Liverpool, whence she sailed
on the 22ti ultimo, its contents ate unim
portant.
It is supposed that Sir Edward Codrington
ami his brother Admirals, anticipated some
days, if urn weeks, before the battle of Navu-
ri no, (lie necessity of proceed mg to extremities,
as tiie Genoa and tlio Albion, took in fresh
s ores at Malta on the 12 It of October, anil 1
sailed for the More.t on tlio same d,.y. Those
ships had lately quitted the Tagus well provitjpd
With ammunition. The arrangements made by
Admiral do Rigby, at Smyrna, are also said to
luvc contemplated the possibility of an action.
Tito allied admirals have intimated to Lord
Cochrane that he must.discontinue his iv.alike
operations, this is es-emial to enforcing a
cessation of die war. They have also tukcu
measures to put down the system of piracy
carried on by the Gieoks.
Ii is mentioned in an article from Constan-
noplc, winch appears in tho Gazette <le France
of Thursday, that the “Aasiiiah Iteeriitiucio
hud that day, caused a uo.e to be delivered to
the Porto, supporting ihe proposals of die 1'luee
Powers, parties to the Treaty of London.
Tins step is said to have made much impiession
oil die Turks, who have been used to consi
der Austria as adverse to the mediation. It is
true ill u die Aitsinau in’ernuucio hasbeeu in
structed to urge the Turkish government to
accede to the intciveniiou proposed by tint
Alked Powers; but with what temper this ad
vice was received may lie guessed by the re
ply of the D,van—namely, that if Austria woie
indeed the Iriend of Turkey she would better
evince dm friendship by advising the Alliv*
to desist from their demands, than by advising
he Sultan to comply with them. Such was
die answer. What may be the conjoint effect
of the persuasions of Austria, and die battle of
Navarino, remains to bo ascertained. It is
possible that the latter may impart unexpected
power to the former.—Courier
From Batavia.—By tlio arrival of the brig
Raj alt, at Salem, we have tho following intelli
gence:
Capt. Cook, of Boston, commander of a
Dutch coumry vessel, was risen upon by his
crew, consisting of unlives, and after a spirited
resistance, during which many of the mutineers
were killed, lie was at length overpowered,
and, together with the mate, the only whiles ou
board, were murdered and thrown into the sea.
A battle was fought on the 25 h August, be
tween the Duicli troops and the natives,. in
which the the latter were defeated an I driven
back. An armistice was afterwards concluded,
and it was expected Peace would take place.
A letter dated 27th August savs, “the trade
•o Japan has been granted to the Company.—
Thu war will soon be over, in all appearance,
by a compromise.”

CIRCULAR.
To the Voters of the Fourth Congressional
District of (he State of Gcorgi i.
Ff.llow Citizens: At the commencement
uf the present session of Congress, as your im
mediate representative I was at uiy post, and
wuh a deep sense of my inability to perform
the duties of so important a station, to my own
satisfaction, I should have hud but little to con
sole myself, or recommend mo to your indul
gent favor, if it was not for the entire conscious
ness which I feel, that in disinterested and ho
nest zeal to promote your best interest, 1 have
not been wanting.
'A detail of all the subjects which have been
presented for tho consideration of the present
Congress, and the views which I entertain oil
each, would enlarge this communication far be
yond its proper and intended limit.
The channels of communication, (through
the press,) which arc extended to the people of
this country, at this day puts them in speedy
possession of the views anti measures of every
department of theit government, ami of each
and every important functionary thereof.
A history of the administration of the execu
tive government, through the past year, togeth
er with the measures recommended to the con
sideration of Congress, as contained in the Pre
sident's message uud the accompanying docu
ments from the various departments at the o-
pening of the present sossion of Congress, have
long since been laid before you. Moreover up
on many inqiortant subjects you Imvo already
seen tho views of the immediate representa
tives of tho people, and uf the Stales, as con
tained in the reports and proceedings of Cou-
gres*.
Wfi.it remains for me to communicate? Pla
ced, as I am, by your kindness and partiality, in
a situation which in some respects affords me
an opportunity of taking a mope comprehensive
view ofsome particular subjects relating to our
common and joint interests, I hive, after due
reflection determined to submit to vour consul
oration, my views in relation to sevoral impor
tant subject! *.f deep .merest.
The great measures «f national policy, which
at this time pro.ture most excitement and divis
ion of sentiment amongst the people and politi
cians of this country, are those of Domestic
Manufactures und Internal Improvement.—
The history dl'the acts of the general gote, li
nn nt ideally evinces, that fr< m n eaily day af
ter ihe comment emeu! of the administration of
the guvommeiif, under our present Constitu
tion, the protection and encouragement ofsome
ax tides of domestic manufacture, and the pros
ecution of some works of public improvement,
wi re, and have been considered constitutional
ami legitimate subjects of legislation, and have
received the sn; port and sanction of a large
ma jority of our most distinguished statesmen
and patriots: amongst whom tire to he fouud
tint names of Washington, Jefferson, Madison
am! Monroe.
But the extent to which the zealous friends
of those men sines have of late, carried their
views, and the measures to which they have
resorted to effect their objects, l do verily be
lieve would have alarmed the cautious and pru
dent friends of those measures in former times;
and would have induced them to pause, titid re-
exam ue the subject in all its various bearings
and aspects: being ns it is, a subject intimate
ly connected wo It the prosperity, harmony and
perpetuation of this Union.
Tlte laws absolutely necessary to carry into
••fleet ihe express grams of power given to the.
Government of the United States, by tlte Fed
eral Consii uiaiii, it is ihe duty of Congress to
pass; and ut pet forming this duty, 1 have no
hesitatittiou in coming to the conclusion, that
there are works whi:h come under the dettom-
iuaiioiiof iu.eiu d improvement, which it is the
indispensable duty of the General Government
to execti.o. Bin, lest the rights and sovereign
ly of tlio States should be infringed, 1 would
not enter the territory of any State with any
work.of tins kind, out by its consent and appio-
batiiiii.
The express grants of power in the Consti
tution of the United Stales, confide to tlte Gen-
end Gjvei liinent the regulation of commerce
and intercourse with foreign u nions, and in ike
it the duty of thu Gove.niuent io provide for
tho com.non deft;!tee of the country. It is .in*
poiiinie to (ieleod this couutiy, in every emer
gency which may occur, if die country has not
the menus within itself, winch .ire absolutely
necessary to its defence, dud the subsistence of
its citizens. Arucies, of tins description, de
serve the protection and oucottregeHiuiit of the
Governuic:)!. Leg.sl.ttioti upon the subjects
of D.lines..c A1 oufactures uud Iii erii.il im
provement, should never go further thau to car
ry ttiio client tiie powers expressly grinned to
Cougiess in tUo Cousiiiuiioii. Hero. 1 would
stop, under tint ii. at rouv.ction that our Consti
tution and to. in of Govorumuui never iineiuled
to author .zo tlte couiiiiuadd influence of the dif
ferent Dep.untifM s.of tile General Govern
ment, io uireci,.d,or, and cii.mgo tho labor ami
ptti'sUi. s oi the people of this country ut pleas-,
me. At., Jo. us leave individual enterprise
mi a c.tpnul io take ’.heir own direction.
t lie s.ock-juoutiig sys.etll of Imetual Im
provement ami Domestic Manufactures, iiowm
operation,' alia wti.clt seems to tie the order ol
tiie day, I do m .si sincerely detest, and shall
oppose with .coiiscienituus leetmgs of self up-
p.oo.tt.on, wiibttpver mid wherever it may he
presented ter my consideration. No one por
tion of tiie Union w di ever submit tube taxed,
m .one oi peace, for the express purpose of in-
ciu.is.ug tne prosperity of another portion,
-»ud turn, too, without any auequnto national
object. The people will make great sacrifices
ivuou their common tights' areinvaded by a
common enemy, out they will never cousent to
a sectional, systematic encroachment upon
their rights and liberty. If they choose to
pursue die plough, they will not be forced to
Oecuine spinners and weavers. If left to them
selves, they wdl change their pursuits, and
produce a proper division of labor amongst
themselves, more to their own satisfaction than
coaid bo directed and managed by the wisest
and most skilful Government on ear. li; because,
m the one. ceso, there is freedom uud liberty,
in the oilier coercion.
Since the formation mid adoption of the Con
stitution of the United States, it hasboeu behov
ed by patriotic and enlightened Statesmen, at
different nines und tinder ddlerent administra
tion!., that the fetter and spirit of that instrument
was violated—and when the alarm has been
sounded, and a spirit of investigation has been
excited, die grand inquest of the country, the
sovereign people, have been found to possess a
i eueemmg spirit of wisdom and intelligence. In
tiie legitimate majesty of their strength, they
have conected tho errors ot tho maUadniinis-
tratiuu; uiul 1 have the most entire confidence,
diey will he competent to the discharge of this
duty again. Because you mid i had no share
in the selection of the men who administer
the government ut present—and because we
were opposed tu their promotion—and because
we be! eve they citmo into offico contrary to
the tr jo spirit of liberty and tho constitution,
fun. hiving a majority of the whole people in
their favor,)yet elected according to the forms
of the Constitution—and bocausc we have
and do disapprove of many of tho measures of
their administration—and because we are re
solved to use all honorable and fair means to
to displace them constitutionally, and select
those in whom we have more confidence:—I
ask, shall we, for nil tlteso and many more
causes of a'similar nature, proclaim to the
world that we are ruined, our liberty gone, the
republic changed,—and exort each other to
at his, anarchy nnd disunion! No, fellow citi
zens, as your representative, I should consider
myself criminal, in a high degree, if I were to
attempt to treat your rotelligence and good
sense with so much weakness, and so little
candor on my part.
I have no hesitation in saying, that, notwith
standing all the alarms that arc sounded in
your cars, we annually havo new and strong
evidence, that our Republic stands upon a ba
sis, firm and fixed. The people have too
much intelligence to will their own destruction.
They are not only capable of self government,
but they are capable of wise self government:
und our system does not place the legitimate
exercise of power so far beyond the conirol
uud correcting voice of the people, as to en-
dunger their liberty.
For proof of my doctrine, let us advert to
last Presidential electiou.
General Jackson was the choice of file peo
ple—but Mr. Adams was made President by
the majority of the States in Congress. The
members of Congress who voted for Mr. Ad
ams, whether in obedience to the will of their
constituents or not, were bound, from that
moment, by every consideration which can
influence men, to support the ndminstration.
The appointment of Mi. Clay to tiie office of
Secretary of State, brought to the aid of Mr.
Adams one of the ablest and most influential
man of the Wes': a man who had long been
tlio favorite of that section. The appoint
ments of Governor Barbour and Mr. Rush,
were both calculated to add greatly to tlio
support of the administration; for these gentle
men were respected and esteemed by tho Na
tion; and one of them, to my own knowledge,
a great favorite of his own State,—perhaps
both. Your intelligence supercedes the ne
cessity of my putsuing this subject further, for
tho purpose of‘exhibiting to your view the
extensive influence and support acquired by
the President of the United States, by the
direct exercise of his official patronage.
But I will call y our attention to an other
and tfo less important view of this subject,
which, to my mind, goes very far to establish
uud confirm the doctrine, that we may secure
ly confide in the virtue and intelligence of the
American people, to mantaih and perpema e
our republican system to future generations.
I allude to the policy pursued by the present
administration, in relation to the most iuteiesi-
ing and important measures, upon which the
American peoplo have been most divided.
Can there he (blind a solitary measure of this
description, where the Administration has not
thrown its whole weight into the preponderat
ing scalo of public opinion ! And yet, not
withstanding all these mighty aids and efforts to
gain public favor, the people remain uncorrupt-
ed and unchanged: firm as the Kuckof-Gibral*
tar. Their favorites having been selected for
the first efltces of the country—their tough
ways having been made smooth—.'ho profits of
their labor having been made sure, protected,und
secured,—all will not do. They have been
iietVauck-d in thoir rights of suffrage, and no
local favors, in relation to men or nieusoes,
will induce them to give up the great ptinci-
ples of the American revolution—the pr.nci-
ples for which iheir fathers fought and bled.
A pure representative government must be
maintained—i ho representative must obey the
will of his constituents—the majority must go
vern—the m.nority must yield.
1 would, most respectfully, invite your par
ticular unumon to the htgh-mlnded, honorable,
and disinterested course of or.r fellow citizens
in many of the States, upofi this particular
subject-^-cspccmlly the people of Pennsylva
nia and Kentucky. When principle comes in
contact with interest, they hesitate cot—they
cleave to that which ^immutable.
As a member of the “Committee on Indian
Affairs,” lean inform you, that we ate ingag-.
cU iu the investigation of subjects deeply on*-
teresting to the United States, and peculiarly
so to Georgia: but what tho result will be, I
cannot pretond to say; what it oiigln tu he, I
have uo hesitation in determining. It is n
subject winch I have lung since had under
consideration.
The existing policy and relations between the
United States and the remnant tribes of Indians
temaining in the States und Territories of this
Union, tzeuirea thorough revision, and, in ma
ny respecis.iin entire clunge. Under our pre
sent policy, wo assume and exercise a general
guardianship over these Indians, similar to that
which exists, in all civilized and enlightened
governments, over the {Aaons nnd estates of
minors, orphans, and other persons who are
incompetent to mauuge their own interests.—
Yet, tor the want of extending our Indian
guardianship to some important points of their
interests, wo are suffering those unfortunate
people to polish. Under the hand of our con
trol and care, they arc rapidly Wasting away,
and extermination will be the lot of all but "a
fortunate few, who will be partially saved, ly
amalgamation with tho while population.
The remedy can only be found in providing
them a permanent homo, west of tho river M.s-
sissippi, providing for their first wants in thoir
new settlement, and governing them, in every
respect, with a view to their permanent benefit
and improvement. Here the benevolent Chris
tian and philanthropist might prosecute, without
interruption, their extended plans of benefiting
their fellow men. Here, tho few Indians wlto
are prepared for usefulness, might labor for the
bonefit of their native race. Here, distinction,
the great incentive to liuntnn industry nnd
exertion, would bo constantly in view, with a
reasonable hope of success. Hero, a knowledge
of tlio benefits arising to society, from Individ-,
mil and separate estates, would be acquired.
And here, finally, a knowledge of free self
government and civil liberty might bo acquired
and enjoyed, with all their concomitant bless
ings.
But it is as impracticable, as it would he in
expedient for me, at this time, to enter upon tho
details which appertain to this subject. Suffice
it to sav, groat benefits would accrue nnd re
sult toafl the parties in interest. It would for
evci put to rest many existing collisions nnd
heart burnings, which can he quieted in no o-
ther way.
Alt honest difference of opinion, upon all in
tricate and complicated subjects, will continue
to exist amongst men: nnd under our system of
government, we adjust all tltoso differencs by
tho minority acquiescing in tho will of tho ma
jority. Wherever I may differ with any
portion of my constitueuts, I ask for on exercise
of their liberality, so far as to believe that I am
actuated, from honest and sincere motives, to
promto ihe common good of those whom I have
the honor to represent, and subscribe myself
