AUGUSTA, June 6.
Col Brearly. Agent ot the U. S. Gov
eruß)eut, for effecting the emigration of
ti)e Indians to the west of the Mississippi,
nassed through this place a few days ago on
bis way to Washington City, where he is
one to make arrangements for the pur
pose of taking out another body of emi
‘ ts on bis return, and expects to be in
Augusta, on his way back, in about three
weeks The favorable accounts we have
seen of his conduct towards the Indtans, in
♦he Nation and on their route to the West,
and the successful event of his mission, had
impressed us with a high opinion ofhis qua
lifications fur the enterprise in which he is
and the conversation we have had
him upon the subject, has strongly
coi-fii rued that opinion. His habitual
health, activity and strength, and vigor of
constitution, together with his intimate
knowledge of the Indian character and of
the western country, acquired by a long
residence in its distant regions, are admir
ably adapted to so arduous an under
taking, and under his management we may
anticipate the most favorable results.
The present number of the Creeks in
Georgia is estimated at about 21,000; and
the miserable condition in which they are
placed for want of the common necessaries
of life, and the strong inducement to emi
grate leave no doubt that in a short time
our State will be entirely . relieved from
them. Th ose who have emigrated, 700
in number, are highly pleased with their
present situation, and declare that no cir
cumstances could induce them to return. —
The land on which they are located and
all around them, for hundreds of miles, is
represented by Col. Brearlv to be exceed
ingly rich, probably as much or more so
than any other part of the United States :
abounding in wild fruits, fish, and game of
the utmost variety, among which are the
common and White Deer, the Elk the
Antelope, Buffalo V’ ild Hog, Black and ,
White Bears, &c &c. The present loca
tion of the emigrated party is near the wes
tern bolder of the Territory of Arkansas’
and adjacent to the Osages, with whom
they have formed a very friendly tinder
standingand intercourse Their distance
from the Mississippi by the route which
they went, is about 750 miles, and from
the Creek Nation about 800 miles Their
journey occupied them nearly three months
being commenced on the Bth November
and ended on the Ist of February ; but so
unfavorable was the season of the year, &
such were the extraordinary difficulties
they had to encounter, that it took a much
louger time than will be requited hereafter
—the route being now better known and
the impediments much less formidable.
Such was the inclemency of the weather,
that it rained nearly the whole of the time,
the creeks and rivers were all overflowing,
and the Mississippi was higher than it had
been known for seventeen years before.
The difficulty of obtaining provisions was
very gieat ; and the distresses from cold,
hunger and wet of many of the party, which
was composed of all ages, from the infant
at the breast to the opposite extreme, was
considerable. Such were the delays in the
neighborhood of the Mississippi,occasioned
by the swollen state ol the waters, that it
took them a month to proceed a hundred
miles. In performing this journey, Col.
Brearly had only four white persons with
him and the task of maintaining order and
peace among the p rty, often required the
utmrsi vigilance and activity
On his return to the Creek Nation, he
found much dissatisfaction and disorder
among the Indians there, and in some in
stances, they had proceeded to open vio-
fence and hostility, by burning store hous
es, fyc. so that he was under the neces
sity of threatening severe punishn ent; and
fir ally he succeeded in effecting something j
like peace and satisfaction ; but such was j
the extent of famine and distress among,
them that he was fearful it would drive
them to desperation, and cause them to
commit acts of violence and depreciation
upon their white neighbors. He says their
want of provisions is such that they ill eat
the carcases of animals which they find in
the woods, after they have been dead two
or three nays. Such suffering calls loudly
upon both the humanity and policy of the
government for the most speedy relief.
Under such circumstance no one can doubt
the expediency and virtue of the system
of emigration ; and we trust that the re-|
presentations of Gol Brearly to the gov- j
eminent, will cause it to spare no energy in
carrying it on. He contemplates removing i
about one thousand of them at the next
hip; but if the others aie to remain till
they are taken away in like portions, they
must either starve to death or plunder for
subsistence, unless they are provided by
the government, with some means of sup
plying the wants of nature. — Chron.
PORTLAND, May 27.
John Baker. —The St. John Courier of the 17th
inst. which we received yesterday morning, con
tains a detailed report of tho trial of John Baker.
o have yet had no time to give it that attention
J, the interest and importance of the subject
5 Pr finds. It occupies over a page of that paper
ni ac t int. The questions involved in this traris
ar >*ri are of too important a character to be pas
*’s unnoticed. We can, however, at present do
more than state the result,
it will doubtless he recollected that Mr. Baker,
finer his arrest and imprisonment in a foreign jail
and confinement for several months, was event,u
fih) enlarged on bail, to appeaV at the May term
ot the Supreme Court, of that Province, and an
swer to the offence with which he was charged.—
, e are to learn that Mr. Baker appeared at
f f tln,e Pl ace assigned, and submitted him
the assumed jurisdiction of a foreign power.
ie indictment charged him “of a conspiracy to
x, ite sedition and disloyalty, and disaffection to
°f the Province—to resist the
th *T> tlOI l °* laws, and to bring into contempt,
ritnr ° Wer Prerogative within the ler
th ‘ /*V ,g near the Madawaska River, under
y of his Majesty.” To this
f * iar g e th e report saya, Baker plead not guilty.—
The officer for the Crown then proceeded to state
his case to the jury, after which Esq. Morehouse
an( l several other witnesses were sworn and testi
fied. After having closed the examination on the
part of the erowfl, Mr. Baker was called upon for
his defence. It is very laconic and every way
worthy of the occasion & peculiar circumstances
under which he was placed. We give it in his own
words as reported.
u lam a citizen of tht United States , and own
allegiance to that country. 1 have lately received
my Deed from the States of Maine and Massachu
setts. I hold myself bound to their Courts. I live
in American Territory and hold myself only lia
ble to the courts of that place, being the county
of Penobscot in the state of Maine, 1 enter no de
fence and call no evidence. Ido decline the juris
diction of this Court.’’
The case was then submitted to the jufy under
a charge from Justice Cripnan. “The jury then
retired from the Box: and after about an hour’s
deliberation, returned into Court with a verdict of
guilty.” Baker was then required to recognize
for his appearance on Monday next after the trial
to receive his sentence.
JYoli Prosequi, was entered on the ex-officio in
formation filled against Baker, and also on the in
dictment which had been found against him and
six others for a riot, so far as regarded him.
On Monday, Mr. Baker was brought into court
to receive his sentence, which was pronounced bv
Justice Bliss, to the following effect.
“ The defendant John Baker had been indicted
by the Grand Jury of the county of York, for a
seditious conspiracy, committed by him and others
within the jurisdiction of this Court—to which he
had pleaded not guilty; alleging at the same time,
that he did not consider himself amenable to the
process of this Court, being a citizen of the Unit
ed States j and that the offence charged was com
mitted within their territory, but the Court conid
not admit this to be the case, it appearing clearly
that the Madawaska settlement, where the of
fence was committed, had been from the first erec
tion of the province hitherto, under our laws and
subject to our jurisdiction, and after a very fair
and full investigation of the case, he, the defend
ant, had been convicted by a jury of the county,
and it now remained for the court to pass their
sentence upon him for this offence in doing which,
their object was to treat him with that lenity
w T hich so far as was consistent with the ends of
justice, was uniformly extended to His Majesty’s
Subjects; and altho’. the Court considered the
crime of which the Defendant has been found
guilty of a very aggravated nature, they have had
regard to his previous long imprisonment, and the
object being to secure the future peace of the
country, and not to pass a vindictive sentence per
sonally against himself, they had awarded the
punishment accordingly ; and did sentence him to
be imprisoned in the Common Gaol of the Coun
ty of York, for the term of two calender months,
and to pay a fine of £25 to the King, and remain
committed until the fine be paid.”
Such is the present state of this unpleasant bu
siness.
Col. King.-—' This gentleman, who went to Ar
kansas, on his own business, some time ago, was
scarcely out of Niagara County before a hue and
cry was raised that lie was one of Morgan's abdu
cers, and that he had fled to avoid the arm of jus
tice. All this was founded, we believe, on the
Circumstance of his quitting Niagara. The ex
citement was kept up, and at length Messrs. Gar
lingiiouse and Bates were despatched, at tiie ex
pense of the State, to bring back the ‘ fugitive
from justice” the “ the vile plotter,” &c. &.c. as
Col. King i3 styled by the anti masonics. Cl.
King, being in all probability unwilling to be
dragged as a criminal from Arkansas, and exhibit
ed in every town on the way as a murderer, baf
fled the pursuers, and they came back without
him. Another uproar, more In!.ninations ogainst.

It seems that the Colonel returned by one path,
w hile Messrs. G. and B. were retaining quite in
the dumps, by another ; and he is on the spot
ready to stand his trial and vindicate his fame.—
That he will do so, we have not a doubt. At all
events, it is base, it is cowardly in the antimnsson
ic papers to excite public prejudice against a res
pectable citizen, who is yet to be tried, against
whom no proof has yet been exhibited, end who
has come, certainly m the guise of innocence to
confront his accusers and to stem that most fear
ful of all currents, the fierce and infuriate passion
of an infatuated multitude.

CHARACTER OF JOHN QUINCY
ADAMS.
From the Baltimore Patriot.
Mr. Munroe —The following letter was
published in the Baltimore Patriot of the
18th October, 1824. I have to ask the fa
vor of you to re-publish it for the informa
tion of your numerous readers. The writer
was the Rev. Mr. Baker, pasuir of the
S v eoud Presbyterian Church, in Washing
ton, for many years, and well known in
i Baltimore as a sensible and pious divine.
w .
Extract of a letter from a highly respectable mem
ber of the Second Presbyterian Church, in
Washington, to his friend in Baltimore.
“ W ashington City, 4 th Oct. 1824.
“ My Dear Sir—Your letter has been
duly received, and I can and do reply with
much cheerfulness. Having the pleasure
of being personally acquainted with Mr.
Adams, I verily believe I am not a stran
ger to his real character and, therefore,
can speak with more confidence. You tell
me that *■ some say he is not a liberal man”
—you wish to know whether this be true.
You further say, “ you have heard that he
acted a friendly part towards the Second
Pieshylerian Church, in Washington.”—
You wish to know something about this,
and about his “ general liberality of char
acter”—l will reply somewhat at large.—
Y\ith regard to the charge mentioned—
never was a charge more unfounded. In
this city Mr. Adams is well known to be a
man of uncommon, of almost unbounded
liberality : and let it be remarked, his ben
evolence is diffusive ; it is not confined to
one object, or set of objects, but every ob
ject which can be dear to a Christian, a
Patriot, a Philanthropist. This will he
made manifest in the sequel of this letter.
In relation to the Second Presbyterian
Church in this city Mr Adams has truly
proved himself to be its friend, and a libe
ral one, too. Let facts speak : About two
years ago, this church being then recently
organized, was, by reason of debt, greatly
embarrassed, so much so, that it had well
nigh passed under the hammer. At the
earnest request of the Trustees, the Pastor
went on to the North soliciting aid. The
fruits of his exertions amounted to about
S6OO. This sum, (although thankfully re
ceived, and really ot great service,) by no
means redeemed the church from its diffi
culties ; still, independently of debts due to
•wo banks in this city, the sum of $1,200
was due to Mr. Sanford, the carpenter; he
had been very indulgent, but now circum-
I stances cornpelltd him to be very urgent; a
! suit was threatened. The Trustees met
Mr. Adams, being a pew-holder and a
member of the Board, After
much consultation amongst the Trustees,
and no door of hope was opened, Mr.
Adams rose and said, “ Gentlemen, if it
will fie of any -service, I will lend you
$600.” The proposition was a generous
! one—particularly so, as it was difficult to
say how, or when, the mmity could be re
paid. The proposition was politely de
clined, until further efforts should be made
to obtain the money in some other way.—
All efforts failing- a note for 600 dollars
was drawn, endorsed, and handed to M r .
Adams. Being asked whether the names
were sufficient, Mri Adams looking care
lessly at the note, replied, “ It is well
enough to have this, as an evidence of the
fact, * but,” added he, smiling, “if this
note were never paid I should never thiuk
of suring the gentlemen.” But, continued
lie, Mr. B. this is only 600 dollars, how
will you phy Mr. Saudford the balance 1 I
am sure sir, I know not, was the reply.—
u I asked the question,” resumed Mr. A.
“ because I am willing to advance the
whole amount; lam sorry for Mr. Sand
ford, and think it a pity he should be kept
out of his money so long ” Anew note
was drawn, the money xvas paid ; Mr.
Sandford was amazingly pfoased, and ever
since that period we have no tnore
about the “ tribulation of the church.—
You may think me too minute, but 70U will
observe that it is not merely the generous
act, but the manner of doing it, that wo
consider. Hence that old saying, “ Bis
dat , qvi cito datf Now for this manner
of doing a good thing, Mr Adams is noted;
and here I may state that, in giving , Mr.
Adams is the most unostentatious man I
ever knew. I do verily believe his most
intimate friends are ignorant of the extent
ofhis charities.
“ But I must not forget to tueution a lit
tle circumstance connected with the afore
said loan to our church, it was proposed
to pay Mr. Adams SIOO every 3 months.
To meet these quarteily instalments, the
plan adopted was this ; to circulate a sub
scription paper in the Congregation, and to
obtain 160 subscribers at 25 cents per
month. It succeeded and much
to our surprise, Mr; “Adams* unsolicited,
subscribed 5C cents per month, and his la
dy the same. And yet Mr. Adams is not a
liberal man !
There is a case re lating to the Eutaw
street Church, in Baltimore, which ought
to be mentioned. Yo 1 mav recollect that
some 6 or 3 months a; o, Mr. VV came
to our city to solicit aid Having heard of
Mr. Adams character for liberality, he
came to me, md requeue J that I would in
troduce him to Mr, A lams. V hen I un*
!. rstcod his although a warm
hiotM re Lirjsclf and ‘vis object, I positively
refused telling him that Mr, Adams was so
uncommonly generous, if was really a
shame to impose upon him. He went a
w iy, made vigorous exertions, obtained one
subscription of ten dollars. Hie rest would
average probably not more than three dol
lars. IFith his “ beggarly list,” he went to
Mr. Adams presented his paper, and with
out any complaint of “fixqumt calls’
Mr. Adams immediately gave him $25. —
And yet Mr. Adams is not a liberal man!
“ ou have heard, it may be, ofhis lib
erality to the Columbian College : besides
large donations, ho rook stock to the am
ount of a thousand dollars, when he could
uot believe that the stock would be pro
ductive. It is certainly reported here,
that Mr. Adams has advanced a certain
mechanic, in this city, S3OOO ; I believe it,
and I moreover heheve that Mr. Adams
must have considered tht “ pay day ” very
remote. The Female Asylum, Howard
Society, and I believe all charitable Insti *
tutions, in this city # *nnd in Mr. Adains a
munificent patron. When speaking oi the
Secord Presbyterian Church, I ought to
have mentioned, that Mr. Adams had given
SIOO to the church, but a short time be
fore the seasonable and generous advance
of SI2OO already stated ; I forgot the cir
cumstance ; it is not remarkable, for his
donations are so numerous, if we were told
them all—we must needs forget some of
them. In this city, such has been Mr
Adams* benefactions to individuals and in
stitutions of almost every kind, that I could
* ish no better income than the annual am
ount of his charities ; and yet Mr. Adams
is not a liberal man ! It is well: some have
said that Washington was not a patriot, nor
Bonaparte a brave man ! If assertions are
made contrary to matters of fact, which
crowd upon us, which stare us in the face,
such assertions are of no account, they are
beneath notice, beneath contempt.
“ In all that I have said, I have been
actuated, purely, by a regard to justice .
You may make just what use of this letter
you please. I place unlimited confidence
in your prudence.”
Treats between Russia and Persia.—
The Journal des Debats of the 28th April,
contains the manifesto of the Emperor of
Russia, consequent on the treaiy of Tourk- ,
mantehai, of 22 February last; and the i
commencement of that treaiy, which is con
cluded in the Journal of 23d April We
have read the former, and hastily run over
the treaty, that we nwy itiake a record of
the the ambitious projects of the Czar. In
the manifesto, the Emperor charges the
Schah with having invaded the Caucasus
in violation of solejnn treaties, &c which
made it necessary’ for thth-Pzar to repel i
force by force. It concludes the account
of the war of eight months by saying, “ our
brave army arrived after unheard of efforts,
to conquer Erivanliitherto deemed impreg
nable. It gave liberty to the A raxes,plan
ted its flags on the summit Ararat, pen
etrating further and further into the interi
or of Persia, it even joccupied Tebris with
the country dependant upon it. The Kha*
nat of Erivan on both bauks of theAraxes,
the Khanat of Nakhitchevan, a portion of
Ancient Armenia, fell into the power of
the victors.” The Czar gets on to say that,
all the conquests not necessary to the peacf
of the Russian frontiers, would be restored.
The treaty after reciting; that, war was,
contrary to the disposition of both mon
archs, abrogates the treaty of Gulistan.—-
The second article contains a cession of
two Khanats, or Principalities ah ve nam
ed to Russia, and provides for the delivery
of all the archives and documents concern
ing: their administration, within six months.
The R ussjan frontiers are to rnn to the
Praxes, and the rivers running to the Cas
pian sea, are to belong to Russia those
running from it to Persia, (the seizure of
1813,is thus made secure) the line to be de
finitively marked within two months. The
6th article obliges the Schah to pay pecuni
ary damages to the Czar, lor the losses re
sulting to his subjects. By the seventh arti
cle, the Czir recognizes Prince .Abbas
Afirza, as heir presumptive to the Persian
crown and engages to consider him as the
legitimate Sovereign from the time of his
succession. The eighth, provioes that mer
chant vessels of both powers may nsvigate
the Caspian sea but that the Russians alone
shall have vessels of war on it.
Prosperity of Albany, N. Y. —The
impulse which has been given to the
prosperity of New-Ycrk by the Grand
Canal> is manifest in every point which i
touches—-in its junction with the Lake, a
long its whole border, and in its extreme
end at the basin in Albany. Few towns
in the United States are thriving more than
fhis. Most of the products which float
down the Erie or Champlain Canal, are
stored at Albany and conveyed down
the Hudson. It is, moreover the capital
ol the State ; and it is a thoroughfare for
travellers who visit either Saratoga, the
Lakes, or Boston in their tours.--
Tdie lower part of the town on the margin
of the river is not remarkably great for
any great beauty of situation; hut the hill
gives many handsome views ; and the pro
spect from the top of the State House is
extentive and picturesque. Houses arf
rising up in almost every direction ; and
the price of building-ground is propoition
bly great. A small spot of land extend
ing about 65 feet on the street leading from
the State-house-square down to the liver,
was sold during the last summer for aboir
$32,000, near SSOO a foot ; and they were
erecting some very elegant tenements up
on it. The Albany Argus states, that
“ within the last two or three years, the
pi ogress of the city in population and buil
dings, has greatly exceded the most san
guine expectations. Within this period at
least five hundred buildings have been e
rected, a large proportion of these bricks,
and many of them costly and eb gant struc
tures. The present year, notwithstanding
the pressure of the monied operations, has
opened with similar indications. New
buildings are going up in every direction.”
Presidential Etiquette —Curing the re
cent session of Congress a gentleman from
the eastern part of this state, a warm Jack
sonian, visited Washington and of course
had a great desire to see the President of
the Union. He expressed this wish to one
of our Representatives, who politely volun
teered his services to introduce him. Pre
vious, however, to setting out for the Pre
sident's House, the gentleman wished to be
made acquainted with the etiquette usually
observed on such occasions, and what ce
remonies were to be gone through on ap
pearing before so august a personage. His
conductor informed him that the Presi
dent, would probably offer him his hand,
which, of course, he would accept hat! ’
said the gent eman “the President shake
hands with me—why, I am told he is
proud, aristocratical ard overbearing and
will not deign to speak to a common man. ’
” Very well, * replied the Representative,
“ you shall judge for yourself * On en
tering the room where the President sat,
what was the surprise of the gentleman,
when Mr. Adams rose, on hearing his name
announced,advanced to meet him, and gave
him one of his hearty pump handle shakes
by the hand. He immediately entered
into conversation with him about North
Carolina and even tli3 District in which
the gentleman resides, and seemed to know
as much about its affairs as he did himself.
, After spending his time very agreeably the
gentleman rose to go, “ Perhaps, said his
friend the Representative, “you would like
to see the georgeous East Room.” “ 1
should, indeed, 1 said the gentleman, and
to the room they went. “ But where, 1
said the astonished Carolinian, “ is the
splendid furniture, mentioned in all the
papers which cost such an amount of mo
ney ? 4 You see it all Sir, ‘ said his
friend.” 4 *V'. hy‘” said the gentleman, “this
fnrniture is not better than I have at home
—is it possible that I have been the dupe
of such a pitiful calumny 1 1 “ Too true,”
said his friend. On leaving the house, the
the gentlemau said— •* never have I been
so mistaken in my estimate of a character.
Why the President is the plainest man I’ve
seen in Washington, and I shall go home
with my opinion of him totally changed.”

North River Steam Boats. —The proprietors of
the best boats on the North River have come to
an agreement to fix the rate of fare uniformly at 4
dollars between Albany and New York. The com
munity are indebted to them for this arrangement,
which affords additional security and convenience
to passengers. The rate in fact is a reasonable
compensation. We hope they will abide by their
agreement and find it profitable.
> Several citizens were engaged yesterday, in
searching for the bones of Gifford and Bradshaw*
at the Bowery Theatre, who were supposed to
have perished at the reennt fire. Several human
bones were discovered, which there is too much
* reason, to fear, were the remains of those unfortu
nate persons.
Extraordinary Damages.-— John Cramer, Esq.
has recovered a verdict of $5,650, for a case of li
bel, against the editors of the Albany Daily Ad
vertiser. It originated in a publication by which
Mr. Cramer lost his election, as senator of the
fourth, district.
The remains of Van Wart, one of the
incorruptible men who captured Major An •
Ire, were interred on Sunday the 25:h inst.
His funeral obsequies were attended at the
Greensburgh church, by the most nume
rous procession of relatives snd friends ever
vifneased in that county —a marked evi
dence of respect and esteem for the deceas
ed He was a member and ruling elder ie
the Greensburgh Presbyteiiao church, and
died in the full assurance of a blessed im
mortality. An eloquent and pious discourse
was delivered on the occasion by the Rev.
Mr. Bennington, from Rev. xiv. 18.—
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.
He was 71 years old.
Superb Purple , Rose and Black Co
lours —lt is stated in the “ Annals de Chi
mie,’’ that the bitter substance of aloes,
dissolved iu 800 quarts of water, at 59 deg.
F. or in a smaller quantity at the boiling
point, produce a superb purple colour:
silk boiled in it acquires the same hue,
and neither soap nor acid, the nitric except
ed, effects the least change upon it Al
though the nitric acid, too, changes the
purple to a yellow, the purple is restored
by simply washing in water, All shades
may be given lo this colour by proper
mordants. Wool is died black in a pecu
culiarly beautiful manner by the same pro
cess, and light has no influence on the
colour Leather acquires# purple color;
cotton a rose color; but the latter will not
resist soap. Dr. Leibeg thinks that this
is the only substance from which a perma
nent rose dye fur silk may be expected.
Parents observe /—An operation was performed
by Dr. Robert Thompson, assisted by Dr. H. L.
Aitken, on a child (aged five months) of Joseph
Rliupert. for Hair-hp. The fissure was uncom
rnonly large and unequal, extending to the poste
rior part of the nose. Two silver needles were
used with the twisted suture. The union of the
lip was effected in four days. The cure is com
plete. There is scarcely any deformity percepti
ble. Parents who have children with hair-lip, let
me advise you to have the operation performed
early. The advantage of appearance and speech
are far beyond the conception of those who have
not witnessed them.— Village Record ,
A number of idle fellows having broken the
lamps of a town m the w est of Ireland, the ma
gistrates, in order to prevent such depredations u\
