SAVANNAH, July 7, 1803.
The price of this paper y twice a week is
Six Dollars a year , payable half yearly in
advance. The weekly paper is Four Dollars
a year, payable quarter yearly in advance.
The Post-Masters in the stale of Souih-Ca
roliiet (Slid Georgia, are authorised to receive
tnhcriotior.s for this paper and far the Ame
rican Literary Advertiser, published by Lyon
and Dinmors, in Washington City. Subscrip
tions for the Alexandria Expositor , ly the
same firm are requested at this offer.
Mr. George S. If oust or, of Augusta will
receive money due either of the above fr ms.
We arc authorifed to inform the
public that the Secr-erary of War
in answer to a letter of his excel
lency governor Mil ledge, of the
12th of May, on the of In
nan affairs, has, by a communica
tion dated June 1, 1803, informed
the governor that a treaty has been
diieSed to be held with the Creek
Indians, for the express purpose of
obtaining an additional ceflion of
lands between the Oconee and Oak
inulgee rivers. The secretary fur
ther mentions, that gen. Wilkinson,
gen. Anderson, of Carolina, and
col. Hawkins, are appointed the
commifTioners to attend it, and that
it is considered highly probable
that the Creeks will be induced to
make such additional ceflion as will
fix the Oakmulrree as the bounarv
... v
line. We underfland the 6th day
of Anguft was appointed for hold
ing the treaty, and that it will be
held in the Creek nation, about 14c
miles from Fort- Wilkmicn, at or
near one Marflull’s.
While the wisdom and attenton,
of the general government :o the
affairs of the nation, excites die
admiration, wins the affections and
commands the confidence of every,
lover of his country, we are happy
to lee them ready to remember the
1 ights and regard the claims of the
individual dates. No opportunity
of doing joftice is omitted ; no (Ju
ry is left unperformed. Happy is
the profpedt of wealth now open
ing upon this fta.e—extenfive are
those forreffs which the eye of con
templation views under future cul
tivation, and lmiling with the boun
tiful harvest. But let it never be
forootton that corruption would!
once have ficrifieed all these ad
vantages a: the Jhrine of private
ambition and inordinate avarice.
That the prefect executive of
this date fhoukl be anxiouffy atten
tive to the interests or Georgia, is
not anew thing. His life is tfu
bed proof that no means in his
power for the promotion of that
object will be neglected.
Monday lafl being the anniver-
Lry cr American Independence,
arrangements were previously made

Many of the poll-mailers or the United j

The f Alow, ttg paragraph is extruded from J
Circular Dlier from the Pofl-vafler-gmeral
to the Deputy-Pcji-miplsrs throughout the U

“The failures of newspapers have always
been fubjeCls of complaint. In fome in
iiances evils ha e arisen from pc ft-mailers
allowing people to read papers in their offi
ces : This is altogether improper, it is ne
-1 ceifary ior the oiheers to v eliil from tuis
j and they are hereby* directed not
to permit an v perlon to read cr handle the

• keep the fame under lock, and them

P|tffe4 are efiahl in our sea ports, cud

the foe ret forvice money of Grcat-Britain ;
(for it h.as long since come out in a debate
ui the British House of Commons that, tliat
government annually dlilributes 340,000
pounds or focret forvice money in this coun
try : ) these papers two abadoned to be open

jtc fictitious names at the different poic-offi
ces in the union ; or, as in many in fiancee,
to pcrforis long since dead, or who do not
reside in the neighbourhood of the office.—
800 many cf the poil-mailers have unde
iignedlv f ivored the fraud and given such
papers circulation by indiicriinntely hand
ling them to viiitors at the office, efieeming
j them tv:clefs waitc paper. By tliefe p-aefii

1 In other cases gentlemen fubferibe for

to take up their p:-q>ers ; these accumulate
in tlie pod-office to inch ? degree that in
the course of a year many lufo-ds. even in tlie
pod-office in this city, are thrown slide as
watte paper.
In what manner cun this evil be more bad
ly and promptly corrected than by ca.uhng
newipaper pottage to be paid by tlie pb-
II filers at the poll office, where the papers
i are depofiled : ‘Bills would at once ieeure

In reply, r*c fliould observe that an in
-1 diligence of a quarter year, for the amount
oof postage, would give the publilher an co
port unity of receiving, it from the fubxfcri
ber. It is prv*bable that the rigidness with
which coileAlons would in that case neccf
fo.rily be enforced, would reduce the num
ber ol fubferibers. So much the better:
for a man that would not willingly pay !
postage, would probably never pay his fub
feription : Printers would be paid for all
the pipers font. We think such an arrange
ment would be much to their advantage.
With rdpeA to the feepnd objection ;
we fliould remark, that the postage of news
papers is equally divided between the go
vernment arid the post-master who delivers
them out. That part which lie receives as
a compensation, it would be haneceflary for
the publiftier to advance. The advance of
that part only to which the government is
entitled, would fuffieiently correct the evils
complained of—verv little emharrafs pub
liftiers, while it would eventually l.ighly be
nefit them—the contractors would not hill
up their hoides by carrying unproductive
luggage—and the poft-mafeers who deliver
the papers would have to colleA none but
their own money.
We copy the following notice from the
National JEgls :
c< Domestic Manufactures.”
tl Messrs. Zebina and Thomas Stebbins,
of Springfield, have now in operation two
spinning houfar, one carried by a horse, the
other by water, in which nearly one hundred
runs or yarn, of twenty knots each, are spun
daily. Tne linens manufactured by these
gentlemen, are excellent for beau tv and du
rability and the editor of the Springfield
“ Federal Spy,” add, “we are happy to
learn, that the general governvneift has so
dar patronised their undertaking as to order
a large quantity of their cloths tor the ule
of the army and navy.”
In various parts of the United States at
tempts are making, with great fuccefa, in
different o£.fabrications.
In Maryville, Tenncfl.ee, a beautiful vil
lage situate about iixtecn miles S. S. W.
from Knoxville, a company is firmed for the
purpofc of mailing cotton cards, erecting
machines for arid carrying on the spinning
and weaving of col Lon ; and among other
objects, the weaving of cotton dockings will
be one of thole cbiming the gre ate It at

Georgians, the fp'nt of improvement is

A Reflection at Sea.
SEE how, beneath the moon-beam’s smile,
Yon little billow heaves its brealt,
And foams and sparkles tor a while,

And having fwell’d a moment there,
Thus melts into eternity!
GENUINE SIMPLICITY.
Three clergymen, curates of small parifii
churches, in one neighborhood, happened
to meet lately at a public ordinary ; when
after dinner, the subject turned on the irre
ligious opinions cl iome people, and the
incraafing infidelity of the prefect age :
One said that Unitarian'fm had crept lately
very much into his parifii;—a leccond com
plained sorely, that his parififioners were in- ‘
tedted with Dcifni ; while the latter, more
titan any, lamented that fome of his were
tinctured with Aiheifm . A plain country
ruftie, lilting near, and having hftened at
tentively to these omp!aints, very irsnocent

A HAPPY REVIEW.
IN my youth I was carlefs and gay,
Freely joing in pleasure’s career ;
’Twas tiie Ipriiig time oflife—it was May
And ne’er though tot the date of the yvur.
But to vice’s allurements not prone,
Buiy lave whifper’d foft in my ea r :
There’s no comfort in living alone
“ And pray look to the date of the year.”
My fond heart gave alient, beating high,
Andacknow!edg'dikemaidthatwaa dear:
Ready Hymen soon faften’d the tie
Ever bleft be the date of that year !
Many fummersroll’d on fall of joy :
Many winters that never were drear ;
And oil times cr a girl or a boy,
Gave delight to the date of the year.
Bred in harmony, virtue, and truth,,
Happy faces arround me appear ;
Aud the grateiul affections of youth.
Prove a balm to the date of the year.
While old friends, full of Lase, tulle, end
knowledge.
Sweeten life with attachment sincere ; ;
And the icorios of fchool and of college
* Seem improv’d from, the date oi the year.
Thus I’ve liv’d till my haivis grown grey,
And kill pieman:y move i.i my fpnere.
For December is cheerful as May,
And content the date of tad ytar.
