4 AM i* THURSDAY MOUSING, NOV. 27, le2B. There is no subject which presents more diffi culty to the statesman of Geariu*, than that of our Indian relation,. An “Indian treaty,” “anew ; purchase ” hui for twenty years past been made ♦he stalking horse, upon which politicians have rode into power. And to such a degree has the appetite for “more lands” been stimulated, that now man who expects to hold an office from the people, or who hopes to become popular, dare3 pursue any other course than that which shall ad minister to its gratification. In the strife of par ties, which has so long agitated the state, lb catch-word with both of them has been— lands.” We have already obtained tv* 0 purchases,. *ays the one party, and it is w alone who can ob tain another. Stick to “Troup and the T reaty,’* say the other party, tp the people, and we will give you fresh lands, h e will annihilate the In dians, say Bone aspiiapt for office ; and we wi 11 drive Mwiiiovcr the mountains, says another , and we will divide out their lands in a lottery. The people, in the mean time, have shouted their “hurras” for both propositions ; and have avrorJod their favor to hixn who appeared to be most in Girnest. Over and aboye this excitement in the minds of the people, and which is kept alive by the inter ference of demagogues, the subject is one which presents intrinsic difficulty The Chernkees have, within the limits #f Georgia, established an inde pendent government, and claim to he a distinct people. This state of things, evidently, cannot long exist, and violent remedies have been pro posed. The propriety of driving them out at the point of the bayonet, has even been repeatedly suggested in our Legislature. In this situation of the subject, and the state of public feeling in regard to it, it could not have been overlooked by Gov. Forsyth ; and no one could have been surprised at his proposition. The measure which he recommends, if not positively humane and benevolent in itself, approaches per haps as near those qualities as any plan for the disposal of the subject, which can be pointed out. J We cannot but yet hope, however, that all diifi- ‘ cultics will be removed by a fair treaty between the United Stales and tlie Indians, for the balance of their lands ; and that they may consent to a iemoval beyond the Mississippi. TOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY. A SHORT SERMON, FROM THE UF GREY DOMINIE THE DEACON. “ Gather up the frag meats, (juu nothing he lo£t.” Os the numerous qualities which enter into the composition of the human character, there may be many which may wive more eclat in the opin ion of the world ; which may render an individual more famous, and may build him up a greater and more splendid name; yet there is scarcely one which can administer more effectually to his pri vate happiness, or more certainly extend the means of his public JiiUUy y than the humble vir tue, economy. ly, whatever situatiou he may he placed, in whatever employment engaged, the words of the text, come home to the understand ing of man with einphasi* and force. Careful ness of tune, of money, of words and labor, is every where essen lal, and marks the character .ofthe truly good man. ‘i he j rag meats of time , -bow important are they ! and yet how many are lost! The frag ments of u isdajn ! which lie every where scatter ed through all the walks of life, how worthy of* preservation, and yet how many neglect to gather them up ! The goods of this life, when bestowed by the benevolent hand of Providence, are deserving of a caretul regard and a frugal use. To waste thera through slothful neglect, is like repcilLig the proffered favors cf heaven with ungrateful hearts, uid to lavish them ip pompous display, .is iiisult ing the indulgence of a kind parent. To the man in trade, I would s& y. gather up the fragments so that t)o thing be lost. Inspect all the details of your business ; look well into every item .of your accounts; and have a strict regard to all the minutiae of your affairs. A course &f‘his kind will preserve you free fromiembarrass pient, and enable you to become a useful member of the community. Let the young men also he careful to gather up the fragments. Let him look to the fragments of time. Minutes are the fragments of hours : and hours make up the sum of his existence. All th ase employed to advantage will enable him to rise in the world. But it is moparticularly to the notice of ray •fair leaders whp have been entrusted with the management of families that 1 would recommend a due legard to the words of ray text — gather up the fragments. Are you wealthy .and would you wish toexercise the feelings of benevolence and charity ? How much may be accomplished by gathering up the Jragments! lias J-. i tune denied her favors, and would you still w ish to educate your children, raipe them up in thew T ays of usefulness and virtue?—then gather up the fragments : You know’ not how T much may be accomplished by an attention to email things. Would you wish to do justice to all men—save your husband from dunsaudbai liifs!—then gather up the fragments \ From how many pangs and heart aches will it not preserve him ! Indeed, a carefulness in the use of those means with which i‘ro\ ulej&ce has blessed us, seems to be an important duty ; and in the neglect of which, the best qualities are liable to be .dimmed or sullied It is stated in the Boston Courier that the grand jury bad found a bill of indictment against Theo dore Lyman, jun. esq. for a libel on >lr.

Extensive Frauds A paper contains v number of particulars, apparently furnished by the parties concerned, of the career ot a young man who has dealt extensively in the jewellery trade, and some time since become insolvent. He W as a few 7 years ago nothing more than a jour neyman, but ingeniously managed to maintain his credit since lie “ set up for himself,” until he had contrived to dispose of about £50,000 worth of I diamonds, emera\dn, rubies, and gold and silver ’ articles. About five years ago, the adventurer ! appeared as master, at tne *ve** town, . of a shop pretty well stocked with jewellery. lor the first two years he punctually paid all demands , and this of course extended his credit, He hap pened to reside in the immediate neighborhood of a distinguished nobleman, who, he made it appear to his acquaintances, had been greatly obliged by his closing qp a w indow which looked in upon fm lor.dshir’®P Presesm * ses * an( l a^s °j that his lordship S was worthy of his rank, for the nobility poured in upon his shop from all quarters This extraordinary accession ot business made a more extensive credit necessary. One diamond mer • chant supplied him an order of jewellery to the amount of £4,000 i another did not hesitate to credit him for a* much more ; a third sent in dia monds to the value of £2,500 ; and a fourth was happv to receive an order for some splendid a?ti des, to the amount of upwards of £SOOO. The moment, however, he received a quantity of dia monds or other precious stones, he immediately broke them up, and disposed of then) at a low rate in a different form. And all the plate he purchas ed he put into the crucible, so that not a single article was to be seen in the market in a shape in which it could be recognised. This precau tion he took, because he knew 7 there was such a jeommuui.cation between the various persons in the trade’ that if a diamond or oher valuable arti cle which had been purchased by a shop-keeper, got amongst them, the terms at which it was re sold would he immediately ascertained, and the scheme, of course, at once detected. Upon ope occasion, when he was establishing an extensive credit, a diamond merchant to whom he was in debted Ml, sent to him for a settlement by bills. “No,” said he, “I have more bills out now- than I wish to have ; but I’ll give you half the sum in 2 months, if you call on me ; and the ot her half in two months more.” The merchant consented ; but scarcely had one month elapsed, when he re ceived £4OO from his debtor, and before the con clusion of the third month, he w_as sur prised at receiving the remainder. This w<ps- the way to do business. The diamond merchant was not on ly determined to follow up his success by dealing with excellent a customer, but he was loud in the praises of so industrious and honorable a young man. In a conversation with his son upon the matter, he said, “ That’s the man for us ; stick it into him, Bob,” (meaning, no doubt, sell him as much as you can for Ids bills. Thus encouraged, Bob did stick it into the customer, for lie got an order from him for about £IOOO, which w T as exe cuted with wonderful despatch. The articles thus supplied were either broken up and newly cased, or melted down along with others jvliich w ere obtained upon the same liberal tpruiai Af ter having gone on for two years, with trie repu tation of having supplied the aristocracy of the country, the active and ingenious tradesman was “smashed.” The creditor then particularly al luded to, has since been called “ Stick it into him Bob,” by those of the trade who gsc aped.— N. V. Gazette. Montreal, Oct. 20. Melancholy Accident. —On Friday evening last, a stranger woman iged about 30 years, who was travelling along the banks of tbe Chateauguav river, sought and obtained a night’s lodging in the house of a man who resides in the town of God manchester, about three miles below the village of Huntingdon. £ T ext morning, about seven o’clock, gfos we/n down to the river to bring two buckets of water accompanied by hei host’s daughter, a little girl of about seven years of age. To lift the water both the females stepped in a canoe which was fastened along the shore. The elder had dip oed one of the buckets, which she was bringing up nueu, wiir... <>r, side upset* the canoe, and they wpje pnpL thrown into the riwor* which is there abouit twenty-five feet in depth.— The wqpvan speedily disappeared, but the girl continued floating for some time. A neighboring farmer, named Paschal Girard, who was riding past, observed the melancholy scene. He instantly turned his horse to the river in the hopes of saving the youngest sufferer. The animal, however, was no sooner in the water than he overset the rider, wdio hung by the bridle for some time, but at length, together with the horse, was drowned.— The bodies of the females were found shortly after, but that of the man wgs no recovered at 2 o’clock on Sat urday Igit. Ope of tbe crew of the Macedonian, having re ceived tl>e .wages of the late three years cruize, w.ent, with the money, in his hand, into a store, and paying purchased a pocket book, put the roll of notes in his waistcoat pocket, and the book in to that ot his round jacket. The store keeper told him that it was the fashion to put the money into the pocket book, but the sailor affirmed, that he was up to the tricks of the land lubbers, and went off. The next day he returned-to the store exclaiming, in great glee, 1 They’ve got it—giye me another!’ He had, indeed, lost his pocket book, but sepured his juries.— Aurora. - Newspapers.—- A late writer.in the Scotsman, remarks—lt is almost superfluous to speak of the value of newspapers as mediums of commercial information. They are, in the most strict and proper sense, instruments of trade. Every man, from the highest to the lowest, has occasion to buy £r eeli, and will <ice something in the adver tisements, the uoiicep of markets, or the general information about all sorts of tilings, which it is his interest to attend to. Setting apart every thing connected with news or literature, it may be truly said, that to all classes a newspaper is yaeful, and to many it is indispensable. It is pot .enough, in a,ny country, that human in dustry produces or imports every commodity which the moral and physical wants of man call for. An apparatus is required A° make it univer sally known where, and on what, terms, such com modities are to bo found, to bring those w r ho have and those w ho w ant, the buyers and sellers togeth er—and this apparatus is the advertising press What a large show window is to a single retail shop, the ad re tising press is to a w hole cit or a whole country; it exhibits the contents of IIsT scores and warehouses at the fireside of every pri vate citizen, it supplies him with a thousand facts which he could not retain in his memory , it ; informs him of new inventions, new) arrangements, new’ articles, of a thousand accommodations—in short, to his happiness or aid him in his business ot w hich he might otherwise never hear at all, or hear when it wfos too late, and at the ex pense of much trouble.” * ‘ Masonry. —We have before us Col. Knaj-p’s “ Genius of Masonry, or a Defence of the Order.” This able and interesting production thus beauti fully concludes:— Masonry teaches us to practice charity, to protect chastity, to respect the ties of blood and friendship, and : to adopt the principles and to re verence the saorkinqpts of religion. Its com mantis are iui’ne still smalt voice of reason, fear lessly, to face the proud in defence of the .humble : kindly assist the teeble ; guide the blind ; iced the hungry ; clothe the naked ; raise up tlie trodden down ;be a father.to the orphan ; guard the altar ; protect the government; encourage wife deni— love man ; adore God ; implore llis tnercv,_and hope for happiness and immortality. These are the commandments of masonry. Thus far w 7 c can speak; but for those who are not yet satisfied and wish to know more without passing through the guarded gates ot knowledge, our address to them must be the same that w r as made of old to the .prophet Esdras, ‘ Number me the things that are not yet come; gather me together the drops that are gcattered abroad; make me the flowers green that ary withered ; open me the places that are closed, and bring me forth the winds, that in them are shut up; show me the image of a voice, and then I will declare the things thou la borest to know’.”— New-York Gazette. 0 Canal Navigation. —The Blackslone Ganal is qow filled for use, and the boats have commenced running their regular trips. 0p the Bth instant a fleet boats arrived here from Providence, deeply laden, and returned on the 10th. Another boat is expected to-day, and several others in the course of the week, so tljat those who have freight down can be accommodated, almost any day. — The opening of navigation fias already caused in the business of the town, and its effects will become more and more appar ent, not only here, but in the country around. [ Worcester Spy. Tfie traders of Boston, Charlestown and Rox bury, have formed an association which promises to be of much use to themselves, and perhaps of general advantage. It is for mutual protection against shop lifting and store breaking. A yearly contribution of from 1 to $5, by fa.ch member, will enable the association to offer a larger reward for the detection of petty thieves, than an indi vidual would be likely to give; and as the detec tion of the offender would thus be rendered much more probable than it is in the present individual inorje of prosecution, offences would be corres pondently diminished. A book is kept at a con stable’s office, in which is to be registered the list of goods as soon as they are missed. About one o’clock, on Saturday, a fire broke out in a carpenter’s shop, near Poplar lane. It was some time before the Engines could be set to work, and considerable damage was done to the adjoining buildings. Between two and three o’clock, on Sunday morning, a file was discovered issuing from the Brewery of the Messrs. Abbots, in Pear-street, near Dock. It was found that the grain in the process of malting, had taken fire. This was de stroyed, but further injury prevented.— Aurora loth last. London Travelling. —So enorrrmns is the num ber of Yehicles passing over the new London bridge, that the owners of property in its vicinity begin seriously to think of throwing an arch over Thames street, for the accommodation of a por tion of the travellers. From an estimate of the number of wagons, carts, coaches, <&c. taken bv actual observations during two days, it is found that the average number of wagons passing daily into the city from the borough, is 2301); and the number of coaches, 767. The number of wagons passing from the city , daily, is 2458 ; and of coaches, 773—making in all, the incredible total of 6308 vehicles crossing that bridge ! Boston Bulletin. Latest from Bolivia. —Wo have before us the Gaceta de Colombia of Bogota, of September the 14th and 21st, which has been furnished us by a friend They bring the news that Gen. Gomor ra, with his Peruvian troops, under the authority of his government, has compelled the government of Bolivia to agree to terms of his dictation.— Under a declaration that he was called by the Bo livian people, he undertook to deliver them from an oppressive government, and after a gradual and nearly bloodless capture of the principal towns and ths desertion to his party of numbers of Bo livian officers and soldiers, he has overcome all resistance, and appears to content himself with the accomplishment of his professed object. Pielinainaries of a treaty of peace were signed at Piqnisa, on the 6th of July, by Gen. Gamarra and Gen. Urdinea. (who was invested with extra ordinarv powers by Sucre.) They were subse quently ratified, and are, in as foubws; In 15 day? the General on both sides should set kvt to leave the country, and remain out of it on half pay until the national assembly should con vene, when it should be determined whether they were to continue in the service of arum.

That army was, in the inte rim, fy occupy the department of Potosi—and on the meeting* of Congress to move for Pax and Qnuo ; and as it evacuated the departments they were L> occupied by Bolivian troops.

Important Invention. —lt is announced in a late fori igu journal, that professor Al friini ofMilan has recently discovered a mode <;f protecting the human body from the ac tion of fire. .This contrivance which is re presented, to be particularly useful for fire men, consists of a combination of coats of mail with amiantus , a substance possessing 14 adhesive caloric qualities 1 in a high de gree. Several experiments of the efficacy of this apparatus have been made by the in ventor, wbo has repeatedly plunged iuto the flumes, clad in these habiliments, and per suaded others to do the same one of whom walked thirty successive times through a chamber enveloped in fixe and smoke.

The Catholic Question. —The following paragraph trom the Liverpool Chronicle, confirms the rumors which have heretofore reached us, of the intention of the Minis try to-adjust the Catholic Questiou at the approaching session ot Parliament. “Report s iys that the Cabinet aie eng gaged in framing the bill, f r the emanci pation of ihe Catholics \V e hope, this report may he true, for we are convinced that everv day’s news will confirm the opinions which we have often express ed on the necessity of yielding the pist claims of our patboiic brethren. 4, e trust too, that the measure now in course of preparation, may be a lull and complete one, for no one other would release us from the agitation of the question. The Catholics might, gome years ago, have ac cepted v/ith gratitude, somethings short of absolute and unqualified emancipation — but that day has passed; the whole popula tion of Catholic Ireland is deeply impres sed with the justice of their claims, & no thing short of justic e will satisfy them. In the mean time, we rejoice to perceive that troops are pourjng iuto the North of Ire land, for we feel assured that the tranquil ity of that kingdom is more endangered by the intemperance and blood thirsty vio lence of the Brunswick Ciubs, than from any other cause. What does the Bishop of Down mean, by permitting one of his cler gy to retain tfie power of administering the sacrernent, after attending a wish for the shedding of human blood? The following speech at the Cheshire Whig Club celebration by Earl Grosven or also bears directly upon this ques iion : Earl Grosvenor said he was commis sioned by the Royal Duke, (Sussex) who had recently been bis quest, to express to the Club, his Royal Highness regret, that the nature of his engagements did not per mit trim the pleasure of being present on his occasion at the s;mie time begging to assure the Club of his entire approbation of the principles upon whiefi it vyas founded. These sentiments his Royal Highness had, moreover, expressed in a letter to the Chairman. The noble Earl then spoke lor upwards of three quarters of au hour, in the course of which he touched upon al nmsi every topic of foreign and domestic policy of the country, and explained at large the principles upon which the club was founded. These were Iris lordship said, not the principles of a party, or a fac tion, but the eternal and immutable princi ples of truth and justice. Qn the ot finance, his lordshiti said, ihat some good effects had accrued from the Finance Com mittee, and among these was a more fa vorable budget than would otherwise have been produced and a better understanding of that much mystified business a sinking fund. Upon tnis point he entirely con curred with Lord Grenville, that any other sinking fund than jvbat accrued from the real surplus revenue of the country was a; delusion. With regard to th-v Catholic question, bis lordship expressed his opin ion, that ministers were really disposed to set it at rest, in the only way in which it could eyet be done, in the ensuing season of Parliament. At this conclusion he bad arrived, not only from the speech of Duke * of Wellington, in the House of Peers, but from the miraculous conversion of Mr. Dawson and the obstinate silence of Mr. Peel at the late dinner at Manchester; for, notwithstanding the palpable attempts to draw the right honorable gentleman out at that dinner, he wculd speak of the confec tionary, oi the fancy ball, of the new streets, and of all the changes that had ta ken place in that good old town ojf Man chester since his boyish days, hut not a v ord of politics.—brighter.—The noble earl rhen said, that he conceived the time was now come, when their just rights must be conceded to the Catholics; and after be , had given bis support to a former adminis tration, and .because it was every thing that he could wish, but because it was the best and the most liberal that under the circum stances could be übt jncd,. he should never support a ministry who did not make Cath olic Emancipation a cabinet question.—His lordship next adverted to the .letters of the Duke of Newcastle and I-ord Kenyon, de claring it to be his opinion, that the very violence of those productions was calcula ted to defeat the view's and objects of the noble writers, and toccorer\ r er them with the ridicule and contempt of the sober arid drinking part of the people of England.— The nobie duke in particular proved him self to be a downright Radical; laughter— for he appealed, tot idem vervis, from prin ces, and prelates, and parliament to the people, teeing <bem that they had been betrayed and deserted by tjie natural and constituted guardians of their liberties.— Cheers and laughter. His lordship then complimented Lord ‘V, Paget, on his late manly speech at Carnarvon, and conclu ded by proposing. Success and general spread to the true principles of \Vhigisrn.
