chase, soon gams on the Fish Hawk
each exerts his utmost to mount
above the other, displaying in these
jencontres the most elegant and
sublime aerial evolutions. The un
incumbered Eagle rapidly advances,
and is just on the point ot reaching
his oponent when with a sudden
scream, probably of despair and hon
est execration, the latter drops his
fish; the Eagle poising himself for a
moment, as -if ta make a more cer
tain aim. descends like a whirlwind,
snatches it in bis grasp ere it reach
es the water, and bears his ill gotten
booty silently away to the woods ’
The following are Dr. Franklin’s
humorous remarks, as contained in
one of his letters, concerning the
bird,’w Inch was chosen for the em
bl( m’of our nation.
‘ Others object to the Baid Ea
gle,” says he, “as looking too much
like a Dindon, or Turkey. For my
own part, I wish the Bald Eagle had
not been chosen as the representa
tive of our country ; he is a bird of
a bad moral character ; he does not
get his living honestly , you may
have seen him perched on some dead
tree, where, too lazy to fish for him
self, he watches the labor of the
Fishing Hawk; and when that di
ligent bird lias at length taken a fish
and is bearing it to its nest for the
support of his mate and yoting ones,
the Bald Eagle pursues him, and
takes it from him. With all this in
justice he is nevej in good case; but
like those among men. who live by
sharping and robbing, he is general
ly poor, and often very lousy. Be
sides, he is a rank coward; the little
Kingbird, not bigger than a sparrow
attacks him boldly, and drives him
out of* the district. He is, therefore,
by no means a proper emblem for
the brave and honest Cincinnati ot
America who have driven all tin
Kingbirds from*our country; though
exactly fit for that order of Knights,
when the French call Chevalier
d' Industrie. I am on this account
not displeased that the figure is not
known as a Bald Eagle, but looks
more like a 'Butkey. For in truth
the Turkey is, in comparison, a
much more respectable bird, and
withal a true original nativeof Amer
ica, Eagles have been found in all
countries, but the Turkey was pecu
liar to ours. He is besides, (though
a (title vain and silly, tis true, but
not the worse emblem tor that,) a
bad ol courage and would not hesi
tate to attack a grenadier of the
British guards, who should presume
to invade his farm yard with a red
Coat on.”

We publish this evening, an extra
for the purpose of announcing early
to our commercial friends a copy of
the Circular addressed by the Sec
retary. of the Treasury to the Col
lectors of the different ports, and
intended to accompany the Procla

ed Slates, which together with the
laws of’ 1818, and 1820, was publish
ed this morning. The acted*March
1, 1823, under the authority of which
the Proclamation has been issued, is
now published also. As no power
was vested by law, in th • President,
to make the Proclamation prospec
tive in tis operation, it will be seen
by the Circular, that the President
has given all the scope to a friendly
disposition towards Great Britain,
which he was left at liberty to take,
by excluding from the provisions ot
the interdict ail those British vess Is
which are titter now in the ports ol

GIhCULAR TO THE COLLEC
TORS.
Trcasu ru Department,
March 17th, 1827.
Sir: I send, herewith, a copy of
the President’s Proclamation, dated
this day, by the .‘fleet of which you
will preceive that the trade bi tween
the United States and certain < oio
niM ports ot Great Britain as opened
by the act oi Congress of the Ist ot
March, 1823, entitled “An act to
regulate the commercial intercourse
bet ween the Uiflted States and cer
tain British col-nud ports,” is closed;
and that tin* provisions ofthe act ot
April the eighteenth, 1818, entitled
Au act concerning navigation,"
and these ofthe act of May the fifth
teentb, 1820, entitled “An act sup
plementary to an act entitled An act
c> nee ruing navigation,” are in force.
Th se several acts have heretofore
b*. n transmitted to -you at p nods
Wb n their provisions were in opera
tion; but copies of them are again
enclosed fur your information and
g ivernment
As British vessels from some of
the colonial ports specified in the
Jir-l section ofthe act of the Ist ot
March, 1823, may now be within the
United States, and conquently must
have arrived anterior to the date of
the Proclamation, the President di
rects that all such British vessels bi
allowed to depart from our ports,
With their cargoes. As others may
arrive between the datg of the
Proclamation and the time of its
reaching you, he also directs that as
to these the forfetures and penal
ties est 1.0 aforesaid acts of April the
l<th, 1818, and May the Mh, 1820,
be not enforced; but that they too be
permitted to depart. And if, after
you shall have received the procla
mation, British vessels should ar
rive within the ports of the United
States from some one or more ofthe
said Bi itish colonial ports, in ignor
ance of the existing prohibition
which the laws impose to their en
try, the president further directs,
that in the case of all British vessels
so arriving, prior to the first day of
July next, you cause notice to be
given to them, as soon as possible,
of the prohibition, accompanied by
orders for their departue within
twenty-four hours, without unlading;
upon their failure to comply with
which orders, you will proceed to
enfore against them the provisions
ofthe acts last recited.
In case of all British vessels ar
riving within our ports, from any of
the aforesaid British colonial port-,
after the first of July, you will, forth
with, enforce against them the pro
visions of those acts. •
I have the honor to remain, your
obedient servant,

TROUBLES IN CANADA.
There appears to be trouble among
our neighbours in Canada, as will be
seen by the Governor’s Speech pro
roguing the Legislature. Wo have
not followed with sufficient interest
the discussions of that body to know
what are thfi precise points of dif
ference ; but the popular branch
have taken very decided ground a
gainst the King’s representative, by
the refusal of the ordinary supplies.
The Canadians are too near our bor
dors to be very good subjects. The
contagion of popular institutions is
about as subtle and uncontrollible,
and by those whosdtcraft it endan
gers, is deemed as perilous, as that
by which physical maladies propa
gate themselves. Every thing is
tending, as it seems to us, to the
breaking up, of the old European
system of colonizing ; and theCm
adas will not, in our judgment, form
an exception to the general resul ,
which at no very distant day will be
witnessed, of the emancipation, (with
or w.thout the consent of the mother
countries) of all the European col
onies in the western hemisphere.
Meantime, as to the Canadas, they
are gaining strength and wealth by
the expenditure which England i<
making there; and if, as seems not
improbable, emigration thither on a
large scale, from Ireland shall be en
couraged, there will be superadded,
a numerous, active, and not very
loyal population, (for those who have
only known the oppression of a gov
ernmert, can hardly c!in" to it with
much affection) ready on any change
or chance, to assert for thcmsflves,
and in their own behalf, the doctrines
of perfect equality and self-govern
ment, of which they daily witness
the peaceful and successful opera
tion within our borders.
The Canadas, must, in the nature
of thing®, at some future day, tall
within the orbit of this Union
As this is a subject of much importance to
this country, we subjoin tiie entire speech :
SPEECH:
Gentlemen of the Legislative Council;
Gentlemen of the Assembly—
" I come to close this session of
the Provincial Parliament, convinci d
by the state of your proceedings,
that nothing likely to promote the
public interest can be now expected
from your deliberations
“ To von, Gettk men of the Legis
lative Council, who have attend* d
your duties in the Session, 1 offer
my thunks on the part of his Majes
ty, as an acknowledgment of the re
gard which, by your presence, yuu
lave shown to the welfare of your
country, and also of that proper res
pect which you have manifested for
the Sovereign from whom your hon
ours are derived.
Gentlemen ot the Assembly—
“ It is painful to me, that I cannot
speak my sentiments to you in terms
of approbation and thanks The
proceedings of this Session impos
upon me a duty, of which, however
unpleasant, I will acquit myself as .•
faithful Servant of my King, and a
sincere ti iend to the Province.
“ Many years of continued discus
sion on forms and accounts have
proved unavailing, to clear up and
set at rest a dispute, which modera
tion and reason might have speedily
terminated. It is lamentable to se<
that no efforts or concessions of llis
Majesty’s Government have succe d
ed m reconciling those differences of
opinion in the Legislature ; but it is
infinitely mor®so, that differences on
one subject should cause a rejection
of every other measure which His
Majesty ( s Government recommends
to your consideration.
“ The duties expected of you’in
this Session were not difficult: among
the first was an examination ot the
public accounts of last rear, and a
report upon them, whether of ap
proval or otherwise. Has that duty
been done, so that your country can
know the result ?
“ Have you considered the esti
mated expenditure for the current
year, and granted the supply requir
ed in His Majesty's name ’ or have
reasons been assigned for the refu
' sal of them that can be known and
understood by the country !
“ Have the messages from His
Majesty’s representative been duly
acknowledged, and answered, accor
ding to the rules and forms ot' Parli
ament, or according with the respect
which is due by each Branch ei the
Legislature t® the others 1
Have the rules or orders of the
proceedings in the House of Assem
bly been duly attended to, in so far
as they recognize the prerogative
rights of the crown ?
" These are questions, gentlemen,
which you arc now to ask yourselves,
individually, and answer to your con
stituents on your return to them.
“ These are questions which you
are to answer to your own conscien
ces, as men who are bound by oaths
of fidelity to your country and to
your king.
“ In my administration of this gov
ernment, I have seen seven years
pass away without any conclusive ad
justment of the public accounts;
thus accumulating a mass for future
investigation, which must lead to
confusion and misunderstanding. In
the same years I have seen the meas
ures of government directly applica
ble to the wants of the Province,
thrown aside without attention, and
without any reason assigned. I have
seen the forms of Parliament utterly
disregarded ; and in this session a
positive assumption of Executive
authority, instead.of that of Legisla
tive, which last is alone your share
in the constitution ofthe state.
“ The results of your proceedings
in this session have been, the refu
sal of the supplies necessary for the
ordinary expenses of government,
the loss ofthe militia bill, the failure
of all provisions for the maintenance
of prisoners in your gaols and houses
of correction, for the support of in
sane and foundlings, and for the es
tablishment of education and chari
ty, and a total obstruction of local
and public improvement
“ In this state of things, and with
(his experience of past years.it is now
no brnger consistent with a proper
discharge of the high trust commit
ted to nre, to entertain hopes of a re
turn to better reason in the repre
sentative branch of this Parliament ;
but it i- still my duty to call on you
as public men, and to call upon the
country, as deeply interested in the
result, to consider seriously the con
sequences of perseverance in such a
course.
“ I shall conduct the government
with the means in my power, with
an undiminished desire to de good .
but while 1 must subn it myself to
the the interruption oi .ill pul r im
provement, under the authority oi
the civil govrenment, 1 will declare
my deep regret at such a state of
things: i think it right to convey to
the country, a free and unreserved
expression of my sentiments upon
these public misfortunes; and I will
leave no doubt on the public mind
of mv determination ta perserve
firmly in the path of my duty, with a
faithful regard to the rights of my
sovereign, with jvhich are also com
bined tho best interests of the Pro
vince.
“It only remains for me now
compelled by existing circumstances
to prorogue this Parliamen*, what
ever may be the inconvenience re
sulting to the Province from such e.
measure.”

The C»ncert.—The Milledgeville Har
monic Society gave a Concert of Vocal and In
strumental Music on Fridaf* evening last, on
which occasion, upwards of one hundred dol
lars have already b®cn contributed for the ben
efit of the Greeks. The judicious selection of
music, ar.d the excellent performance, were in
perfect accordance with the good feeling and
philanthropy which pervaded the audience.
The Subscription Lists are still open, that
these who wish, may yet have an opportunity
of swelling the cup of our charities, by calling
upon either of the Committee, Messrs. Wash
ington, Camack, Washburn and Pierce.
We rejoice that our citizens are at last awtL
kened to the distressing situation of Greece ;
her soldiers, and even her fair ones have no>-
bly fought and died in the cause of LIBER
TY—they have suffered, not only all the dis
tresses and privations incident to war, but al
so, all that brutal cruelty which a Mahometan
Turk can inflict. Yet Greece exists, and that
noble spirit, that daring courage, and that de
votion to liberty and independence which has
been the admiration of the wcrld, remains yd
unconquered.
In her desperate struggle, Greece has ap
pealed to the world for help—her beseeching
look has been specially directed to America—
her daughters have pathetically appealed to
our fair countJywomen for help—to save them,
Irom the brutal ..Mahometan, the Turkish
market, and tiie Moslem’s Harem.
All n ho desire the pleasure of contributing to*
tiie Greek Fund, and of mingling that pleasure
with amusement, can have an opportunity on

and Company of the
WASHING TOM’ CIRCUS.
>o be given at the usual place of perfoimunee
in .Milledgeville.
It gives us pleasure to observe here, that the
Gent emen Proprietors, with a spirit oi inde*
pendence and liberality that does them much
credit, proffer to surrender up on that day
their Admission Tickets (o the entire disposal
oi tiie Greek Committee, through whose hands
- very Ticket and its proceeds will thus n< ces
s-.ri.y puss ; thereby giving the public assur*
unce, and that m the most honorable and ded
icate manner, that they themselves will be ut-
Lc iv excluded from any participation m inn
avaos ofthe day. After defraying the usual
expenses of the house, the surplus income, with
that already collected, will be promptly and
faithiully transmited to the Greek Committee
at New-York, in furtherance of the objects
heretofore explained. We hope our friend®
fiom the country round, and the neighboring
villages will join us on that day, with their
wives and their daughters, assuring them as
wc do. that nothing will be admited in the a
musements of the Circus that need offend the
most delicate ear, Jor the bosom oftiio
most scrupulous and moral, a sentiment oi re

That we may, with tiie more confidance,.
call upon our sister towns and cities to imi
t-itc our example, let all endeavour to render
it worthy oi mutation by Ui< harmony and lib
erality of our oontrbutions. The cause is sa

freedom! Insuited virgins and famished
warriors cry to heaven and us for pity —for
succour: forjsuch succor as we may easily sentt

The Proprietors of the Circus are certainly

very liberal offer in this matter, and which,
at a prop r time, will be tendered in an
