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 1 or celebrating its return ia a iplen cid manner, by the Democratic Republicans of Savannah. The dev was ushered in by r- ierieral Li me from the Revenue Cutter, com - manded bv Caut. Putnam, which w..s repeated at neon. Military t volutions were the appropriate amulcments of the morning.

Threee other assemblages of citizens, viz. r ri:e Troop of Xfiglit Horse, The Rangers, and The Savannah Volunteers, Celebrated the return of our political birth-day, and each drank a set of toads on the oceafion ; thev ate published in the Mufcum of yefierday, and in a great raea fure appear to have cmenated from patriot ism and correct principles : fome trifling inconfiflencies, however, are dilcovercd on : infpedxion, which mav perhaps be owing to j accident. For inflance, in one company j i the 1 olio wing : i{ The People cf America*-—May they | he honctl—may they be intelligent-—may they he faithful to the constitution.” “ MeflVs. Gouverneur Morris, James A.

A trio that will be revered win’ll lories can pay reverence, or Tar quin find admirers. Many of the poll-mailers or the United j States have deferred a rap over their r.uc- ! kies ; we are happy to fee the post-master- { | geuerai take the bufintiV of correction into j iiis own hands. The f Alow, ttg paragraph is extruded from J Circular Dlier from the Pofl-vafler-gmeral to the Deputy-Pcji-miplsrs throughout the U -1 niled States, dated Gukukal Pqst-Oi riCR, April 27, 1803. “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 | newspapers in their offices, but carefully to • keep the fame under lock, and them to the proprietors when requested.” White we a-rc on the inbjett of the poft office, we {hall take the liberty of fuggeiling •to the head of that department, the propri ? ety of putting a check upon an übufe which lhas long exiued We mean that of fr,:u?-\ 1 rims repers and princiui-es obnoxious to til? 1 , * w . - l ■ J spirit of cut gorern-.cr.t, into circulation: P|tffe4 are efiahl in our sea ports, cud ; principal towns, and fubported bv the dona tions of oppident monarchills. and perhaps 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 ly supported, except by the friends of mon archy, are crowded into the mails addreflfid 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 cestlm public mails are burdened and impe ded; the carriers are -jnconverficnced bv un ncecfficT and the g-overnrnent is deii"uuded in that ijrar.cts ol its revenue. 1 In other cases gentlemen fubferibe for I papers at a difiance, th.ir engagements ex ! pi re, cr they become di Satisfied, and refufe 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 j the govarnmcnl again!!, all impofiiion : To S this mcafure it will probably be ohjeAed: 7 hat 1: would ce injurious to printers who !

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 tention.

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 .
