For the Georgia Republic At* To try Qonjliteunls of Chatham County. Cftl ZENS, THE happindfsarid perfection ot a nation, drr enumerated by writers among the firfl duties of government. I would ask, wheth rl those duties have not incalculably rrtroga ded in this date by the operation of acrirv.o j,ies jealousies and intrigues, excited by land monopolies and land fpecuhtors r difinterdied citizens will anfwerin t>ne affirm ative. Yazoo has been the apple of dilcord thrown among the people of this ft ate i it has tended to arouse every piffion and resentment the human breast is fufceptibleof-—to kindle tip enmities between men who, otherwile, might have shared the benefits of friendly in tercourse—and to diminish the faith and mo rality of Georgians, in the estimation of ftfter (lares and foreign powers. Knowing these to have been the ten dencies of the Tales by virtue of an a<st m titled, “ An Aft for appropriating a pait o’ the uncultivated territory of this state for tne payment of the late state troops, and for other purposes therein mentioned,Tpafftd tie y:h day of January, 179-, and which is ge nerally denominated the Yazoo, or usurped aft—under this knowledge* I had the best of reasons to rejoice when thelcgiflature gave irs aflent ro the ccflion of that territory to the li nked State s —l rejoiced beenufe the effefts of that cefiion will be : 1.

These arc the promised advantages the state will derive from the cefliOn to the U. states. A letter from Mr. Gallatin v/as laid before the last general assembly, wherein he requefh a transmission to his department of all monies and documents appertaining to Yazoo. A committee was appointed to take into ronfideratioh this communication from the iccretary of the treasury. The committee did not report —the rcalons for which may have appeared tothem good and convincing t but 1 mull confd's, that it is the imprefilon of my mind (and my conduft would have evinced that imprdtion, if the fubjecl had been sub mitted to the house for difeuffion) that Mr. Gdlann’s communication fliould have been immediately complied with —for it cannot ad nut of a doubt that the monies and documents are, by the cefiion, vested in the United states —the legislature his therefore tacitly denied giving up to the United States that, which, upon a principle of right, is their property — Should a more direct refufal be adopted by the next legifluure, it will no: be difficult for any co r.prehcnfion ro divine the effects such refufal will ‘nave on the agreement enteredrnto between the tommiffioners on the part of the United flares* and those on the the part of Georgia, which has been ratified-. 1 indulge myfelf in a hope that at the next session the difficulty involved in this affair will be obviated, and that we Hull be permitted to enjoy the advantages 1 have before desig nated. 6.

The activity which has of late df played itfelf in our naval department is now understood to have been entire ly misrepresented. It isfaid that the frigates lately comr miflioned, are destined to relieve those in the East and Weft Indies, fome of which have been upon those stations for fix or seven years, and cannot return until the arrival of others, while the opening of rendezvous for seamen is thus explained, so very few men haol entered since the paying off vcffels in actual fcrvice, that many ships in com- inifnon sot fix months have not even at this moment a third of their peace eftu bUfhment", and as they are wanted to relieve others which have been for a long time on foreign stations, lieutenants O O , have been sent on shore from several ot them, in order to fill up with all pofli bledifpatch their TefpeFtive compli ments. But not a Tingle guinea of bounty money has been offered in such cases. withrefped: to the orders sent by the admiralty toP/ymoutb for al/ the Blips there to rake on board their compli ment of royal marines, the fad is, the that the barracks at Plymouth I not being fufficient to contain the whole jof the division of marines, they were quartered at the distance of two, three and even four mile* from the parade. But the inconvenience of this plan was soon felt, and until the barracks at mill (formerly the prifonj could be complet ed, it was thought moll: proper to dis tribute a certain number of them on board the men of war. It is added that not a tingle line ofbat tle (hip in ordinary has, in the flighted degree, been prepared for cornmiflion, and that the Temcraire, Culloden and superb, were ordered to be put in a com plete state of ordinary the very day when it was reported directions had been given they should be fitted for cornmiflion. There is no doubt that very aftivt prepar ations have taken place in the French ports, particularly at Toulon. It is undoubted fa<sl that a greater quantity of nav&l flores of all kinds has been imported to F.ance within the last 15 months from the Batlic than the amount of the whole supply in the articles during the eight preceding years. At Rochester, Brcft, and L’Oriens, great exertions have been made. Th/s however* by ‘no means juftifics any fpecuiation of immediate war. Every body knew that France would endeavour to reftorc her navy, almcfl: destroyed ; and replennifh her naval arsenals uterly exhausted. —mi ,ni mi—,. 111 i wruirtriiM HEAD-QU ARTERs, Louisville, Dec. 3, i3o 2.
