To your firmer fetter on the same subject, I regret that my an swer was unavoidably delayed for a longer time than I would have wish ed, being detained at tny residence at that period, and not obtaining your letter immediately on its arri val here I also regret that do provision has been made by the*Legislaiure of this state, whereby the state can be rep resented iu the extension of the line in question. Altbo* lam not appri zed of any serious point of diffinul ty attending the operation, yet iu a matter ot such permanent import ance, it would seem to be indispen sably necessary to a final and satis factory completion of the work, that the state should be a party.

You will not hesitate to direct (be order which followed the distinction to be abrogated and annulled; and will instruct the proper Report ment to place the claimants on the footing, where the Treaty by con sent of all parties designed to place them, and where reason, justice and equity would most certainly place them.

Troup, Georgia; Sia—rThe President has read with attention, the memorial of the Legislature of Georgia, on the sub ject of the claim* of its citizens un der the Treaty of Bth January, 1821, and directs me to inform you, that his opinion on the subject of those claims remains unchanged.—The provisions of the Treaty of the Bth of January, were fatly and deliber ately examined previous to issuing the original instructions to Governor Preston, the Commissioner, by the President, with the aid of his cabi net, all tbe members of which con curred in the principle, that for dep redations during a period of hostil ity, if not provided for by Treaty, terminating such hostility, there oouid be no claim. The instructions given to Gover nor Preston in oonformfty to that view, were again deliberately re viewed on tbe application of your predecessor of the 17th May, 1821, founded on a memorial of the Legis lature of the state, aud remained un changed on this point. The President has felt through out the whole, every disposition to giye the most liberal construction to the claims of tho citizen* of Georgia, uuder the Treaty, and re grets that the Legislature of the slate should take a different view from that which he has, after the most mature deliberation which he is oapable of giving to the subject, I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, J. C. CALHOUN. J'rom the tVestem (Pa ) Prtst. Senator Loisrie The President showed to Mr. Findlay and myself a dollar sent him by Gen. Jackson. Mr. Kremer .

T •- Bume interesting items of loi eiga intelligence have been received by late arrivals at Philadelphia nod Ns York, as late as the 13th June from Liverpool. An article dated Petersburg!** May 15th, says “Our diffcreo.e* with the United States of Norik America, respecting the North Western Coast of the Amenoan con tinent, aro now settled.” The Chariestou Mercury says* “Wo have been favored with ttm fol lowing extract of a letter from one of the most respectable bouses id France, to their correspondents in this city. The prospects of the E* gypiiau Colton trade, are very se rious as regards this couutry, and it will require all the activity and intelligence of our country men i< cope with such a formidable, tuougty young rival.” “ Havre, June S.—There have been great sales of Georgia h Caro lina cottons for the last few and there are out remaining more than 4000 bales of this sort, wbict) are likely to do better than the cot ton of Louisiana—prices 26 a 28 £ sous. Egyptian cotton will have to be takeo into account in the ope rations upon the approauhing crop of United States* cotton, with which tho former comes into serious com petition. The aeoounts from Alex andria of the progress of the culti vation of eotton iu Egypt seem al most fabulous.—They agree in say# ing that the crop of 1823, which hag been forwarded, up to this tims* will equal 200,000 French quintals* and that the crop of 1824 will bo double that amount, whioh is equi valent to 115,000 bales of Louisiana This cotton is Jong staple and strong, and sells for 28 sous ag Marseilles and for 31 at this place* and at these prices, we should sup* pose, leave a good profit to tho9Q who have bo’t it at tbe rate fixed by the Pacha, who no derives ai# so a profit from what he has charg ed for them. The cotton from E gypt must be expeoted to make an alteration in the prices of the arti <sle generally.” The affairs of the Greeks were iff a prosperous condition, Tbe Greek committee in London bad reoeivedi information from Prinoe M&vrocor dato, that all parlies in Greece were united, and that the legislative body and executive enjoyed the full con# fidenee of the nation. Viseount Chateaubriand, Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, who wa regarded as the bead of tbe ultra royalist party in France, has been suddenly aud unceremoniously dis missed from office. The reasooa for this removal is stated to be tho failure of the mi ister to speak ia tbe house of Peers during the dis cussion on the Finance Bill, which terminated ia the defeat of the min isterial party. Some of the Lon don papers assert that the change will produce a favorable result, Chateaubriand being an advocate for the Russian policy, and Yiiiele, Minister of Finance and President of the Council t-f Ministers, friendly to the liberal polity of England/ i The duties of ihedepattmeutof J3V [No 32.
