tut*?! <*T the yefi.r 1822, and also of 4 823 unt 1 182i, nn parr of the annu al appropriation of S t 0.000,000 constituting the sinking fund, is comprehended, except what is ne cessary to disc harge the interest of the public debt, and the reimburse ment of (lie six per cent, defer red stock. On the Ist of January. 1825, and the three succeeding years, the debt contracted during the years 1812, 4 -Sl3, 181 h and 1815 becomes redeemable at the will of , the government. These sums great ly exceed the amount of the sinking fitful applicable in (hose years to the redemption of (he public debt. As the current value* of the five per ct. stock, created during the lust and present years, exceeds that of the seven per cent, stock, and of (he six pr. r ent stock of 1312 and 1813, it is presumed that the holders of (hose stocks will be disposed to exchange them for an equal amount of five per cent, stock redeemable at such periods as to give full operation to the sinking fund, as at present con stituted. According to this view of the subject, £2**,000,000 of the stocks which wifi he redeemable in the years 1825 anii 1826, tuay he exchanged for live per cent. s*o k, tedeemahlc, one third on the first of January, 1831, undone (hi and on tin* same dajs of 1832. and 18j3. This exchange of six per et. stock, if effected on the lr of January, 4823, will an amual re duction of^the interest of the public debt, from thai time to the tirvt mentioned period, of £2l-0,000 At an aggregate saving, tiimogh flie w.bole period, of $2,160,000. if me whole of the seven per cent sb>.k should he ex banged, the saving would t)e oonshlerahly increased, If such an exchange of stock ©bon'd he deemed inexpedient or impracticable, a saving *>f < q ;il if not greater extent, may he ed’ ted in lie M*a* s 1825.*’ 18:0. 18 27. and 4 S.’S, by borrowing, a the rate of five percent, in lie* fi'-st und earii ■sir -cssive year, a *uui cq tal lu lie and If*? erme between the amount e ---di'cm hie, ad that porji* of the Sn king Fu and. to its ,*e demptio <; flic five pc* .cent, s k. created, to he e ai sm h pe* i >ds as to g>\\ f'uu apera <i >i to the siid.i ig iAmd, u nil the wh le ffhc ps nii.olcbt shall he re defined.

But, it is passible, that (tie prn gve<>b ve increase of le re venue, Vrhi“h a* been anticipated, and wli * h eoessary to the full ope ra’ion of ihe Slaking Fund, may noi he realized. Isi tliar event, the public expenditure authorized by tiv may, ifter the Ist of January, 1825, exceed the public- revenue The remedy iu such cas* must he j—-1 st an increase of the public re vcmTed.y an addition to the existing imnositiufjs; or, 2d, a redaction of the - inking Fund. First. A general revision and correction of the duties imposed up on f ♦reign merchandise s* cm to he required. Many of the articles which pay but fifteen per cent, ad valorem, might, in justice as well as policy, to he p aced at *25 per cent, which is the duty paid upon the [yjo-ipal articles of woollen and o-Hc* manufactures.

It is highly pro hibit. however, t f i*t an increase of duty on some those druries might evertually circle a #|suetion Ot*the revenue.; bui *liis can only teke p!a**e where similar articles ace manufactured in. the country. In that event, domestic manufactures have hern fostered, and the ge neral ability of the community to coot* ibute to the public exigencies will have been ppopm tioiubly Xn- C reused. Second. If it should be deemed expedient to reduce the 8i .ki.ig Fund, in preference to the intposi ti nos additional dunes; it taay b* satisfactory to know tlmt an annual appropriation for (hat object of 8,000.000 dollars, ccwitme eutg on the first of January, 1825, will ex tingaish the who-e of the public delrf, exclusive of lb© three per rent. s*oi k, in ibe year IS3P.

B/ the 53 I section of the penal code of Georgia, that offence is punished by imprisonment iu the penitentiary at hard labor for any period of time not exceeding 15 years. In this high grade of felony, whe ther the prisoner shall he hailed or Hot, rests in the sound discretion of the court. The positiveness of the affidavit in this case, and the absence of ail intriusic cireumdances in favor ot the application, would not permit the court to accede to this moiion,—particularly as the proxi mity of ih * -session ts tic Superior Court ex -hided the idea >*f any rigor, or hardship in the continuation of the imprisonment.” I’he prisoners Jones and Calvin were refused bail and also remanded for similar reasons — lb.

There is one remark in Mr. Mon roe’s Message, whiea deserves a says that **it is under stood” the Colonics of South Ame rica have met with great success; and that it w ill be the object of the government o promote the ai koow ledgement of their independence by fi’ieudly counsel with the govern ment of Spain. This w.iuhl not haps have claimed a remark, did we not consider ii so much of a piece with tlie policy of the government towards tue republics of South A met ioa. They iiave struggled thro* a bloody a id exterminating conflict of thirteen years, against a govern ment whose tenderest mercies were to them cruelty, and in a cause like that for whi fi our fathers contend ed and bled, (not however unassist ed and we have looked on with the cold ah ulatiug policy of a specula tor, who only considers the effusion of blood as affecting his profit and loss account, without an eff >rt to se ve or to save—a ;d now, whe ) this oppressed people have broken iheir chains, when they can com mand terms, and are in fact and must remain free, sovereign, and in dependent, thte President of a confe deration of republics which should have been bounu to them from the fir>t impulse of their tevolution by ties of sympathy and £ncudJ*ip, comes formrd and offers h’s coirt* ■el to the government of Spain *n their behalf! Ilia counsel! Ibis is mockery—and from America too J Why was uol this interference offer ed long since, when it might perhaps have been umental o sa\ing the effusion of blood. How true it is that revolution is onfy successful re bollian ! Had the patriots of ?oufh America been unsuccessful; bad tliey been unable to attain the high stand which tliey have, they would have been left to the vengeance of a vindictive government. But they have attained the objects of their ar duous contest without foreign assis tance, and have not only given to themselves the blessings of a free government, hut the impulse has been communicated to Spain, and pr iestcraft and kingcraft have fal len before the contagion of freedom, and wo aid and assist them by our ‘•friendly counsel to the Spanish go vcrn^leut.’, How generous!
