Behold her!—ask that prattler dear Why mother is so poor— # HV’d whisper ui thy startled ear, l| r \THkit’s more!** y Stay, mortal, stay! repent, return!

The Na’ional Intelligencer of the Jlst ult. brings us one of tin? most striking state papers we have ever Secti —the despatch of “the secretary of state of the Limed States to the minister plenipotentiary of the 1 mted States to Spam, at Madrid.” It is a general ex position of the transactions of the Seminolie war, as they relate to the Spanish authority—and may be re garded in the light of a reply to the tmn.fesio of Mr. Pizarro, so indecently circulated by the Court of Mad rid in the gazettes of Europe. In this manifesto, Mr. Pizarro gives “formal notice that the king, Ins master, has issued orders for the suspension of the ncgociation between the United Stales and Spain, until satisfaction shall have been made by the American government to him for tliose proceedings of general Jackson, winch he considers as acts of unequivocal hostility against hint, and as outrages upon his honor and dignity; the on I \ acceptable atonement for which, is stated to consist in $ disavowal of the acts of the American general, lims complained of—the infliction upon him of a suitable punishment for his supposed misconduct, and the resti tution of the posts and territories taken by him from the Spanish authorities, with indemnity for all the pn - perty taken, and all damages and injuries, pu'dic. v>r pri vate, sustained in consequence'of i.” i'he reply of Mr. Adams to these insolent demands is the paper now before us, bearing date 2<kh November, le>lß. 1 cannot sufficiently express the profound sentiments of admiration and delight with winch I have perused tffis state paper. It is written w uli an astonishing force of ingenuity, and adorned with the most captivating eloquence of all descriptions. It has the air of a man, who feels most actitely for the wrongs of Ins country; Who is fidignant at the insult s ottered to her by die aggressor, pretending to demand redress,and w iio pours ou. loose feelings in the most forcible strains. It is a monument of diplomatic, genius. It is an ornament to niv country, l feel proud of belonging to a nation L which lias produced such a bla/.e of ..dents. Ii sluvcrs Itlic manifesto of the Spanish cabinet into dust and ashes Pinto ‘what utter insignificance does ihe redoubtable fc'bevalkr Onis sink! lie seems like a pigmy in the is of a giant. Aiul while it seeks to answer Spain, rves m some son to jnithch t lie mi'conduct of gcnc —-i'.r.ij'ii lum, it cannot. On that point the of Mr. Adams leave me a heretic. I do to tin-: I'M r, I am still not, I I|o]l. . ;.:i OO.V, m.iU oil. . not, I know, a— ■HHHH no •• :!. •>■ < ! 1 !'..!■ n i..

JUi: —though we owe nothing to L w e owe much to ours,-Ives. The orders of the government violated; tli powers of congress usurped, w ithout imperious necesa.y, bt a military officer; ait act of war struck; the lives of prisoners taken in cold blood, when “not absolutely necessary;” the usages of war, transgressed by a mili tary commander, who sheds the blood of his prisoner in lie very teeth of a decision of a court martial; these, these are questions between him and his government, jmi.i between the government and people ot the United StalcS. All the ingenuity of Mr. \dains w ould be in e iffieient to satisfy us that general Jackson shouhl not am er for these acts ty the government of his country. Il iie executive say wc will not “indict pun.slnneiu” nor “pass a censure upon general Jackson,” nor call him to account, then ought congress not to sleep over the breach of the constitution, produced by the assump tion of one of their most important powers by the hands of a military officer. Let that officer be crown eu by till the laurels of the victory of New'-Orle ans; let his services have been as brilliant, and the grxtituue of tins nation as warm as you please; and my heart still yearns towards him; 1 will still su\ before my tV>d mat for tiie acts he has done, on account of the preccden.s Jie lias set, lie ought to be called to answer. With all my respect lor the administration, I must think them . wrong for the forbearance they at present appear to iave manifested towards him. I suspect, indeed, that moment the United States proceed against general the Spanish minister will have tn iflrontcrv us. lam s:v si. • I that the ;*■;ii:i:i■ s. ra huha ‘ri : • ■k A VC TJ ON.

HANNON, FOII PUBI.ISHI.XG , I.Y AUGUST.!, A NEWSPAPER, TO nE CALLED THE GE OIIGLIA Dl E R USER. From the growing importance of cur state, and the rapid progress of improvement through all parts of it, a belief is entertained that an attempt to add one to tiie vehicles of periodical intelligence already circulated, wui 1 meet that liberal patronage and support usually ex tended to undertakings combining public utility with individual enterprise and exertion. In submitting to an enlightened and intelligent community proposals for a new paper, no attempt will be made to anticipate pub j lie favor by any extraordinary engagements or splendid professions. The subscriber is aware that the paper he publishes must and will oe judged of according to its own merit, and that its support will correspond with the estimation entertained of the ability, candor and cor rectness w ith which it may be conducted, independent ly of any promises made previous to its appearance. He will therefore barely remark, that having been reg ularly brought up to tiie printing business, lie trusis he shall be able to present to the public a paper worthy their patronage; and it will be Ins unceasing endeavour not to disappoint, in any degree, the expectations of those who may generously countenance and encourage his undertaking. The paper lie proposes to publish will be called Ilia Geokgia Aiivkutiskii. It wll be issued in Augusta, three times a week, on such days as may best corres pond with the arrival and departure of the mails, md with such other circumstances as may tend to render it most extensively useful. It will contain the latest for eign and domestic intebgence—productions calculated to advance the agricultural, commercial and mechanical interests of the community—essays, original or sclect- I ed, tending to improve the morals, correct the taste, i c I inform the judgment, of die reader—and s.icii polit cal articles as may be necessary to a free examination of public measures, and which, exempt from party asperi ty, appear only to have the public good in view. In short, its contents will be such as shall be deemed best calculated to render the Ahvkrtisi.r a paper of useful information and of rational entertainment—and the pub lisher will, with confidence, add his belief, tliat it will at no time contain matter which will be displeasing to its patrons or degrading to himself.
