To the lloff.'J'\Ml>s Bxrboi'r : Sir : T am hi j»,«v in having it in mv power to inform you that articles of agree ment at d cession were, on the morning their recovery from it, ami from its lone train of miseries, whilst they rciain their present relations to the States, to be hope less. No human agency can reform, them, ns a People. It is vain to try. They are a devoted People, and destruction lies just before them. Humanity and justice unite in calling loudly upon the govern ment, as a parent, promptly to interfere and save them. They feel the miseries of their condi tion ; and many of them look most implor- in for help, f believe they would sub mit cheerfully to be guided bv the Govern ment, in regard to any new relations which it might be 'bought proper to estab lish for them. But those influences un der the direction of* which they have pla ced themselves,would counteract the kind est designs, unless the measures which may he adopted for bettering their condi- uf the 15th instant, entered into at the j . Creek Agency, with the Creeks, and ! shi, » be accompanied by a power that which were concluded at the moment of with them. This I have estimated at $10,000; but this estimate was confined to Chickasaws : I would suggest that $5,000 more be added, making 15,000 for this ob- object. To this may be added, for the present, $100,000, to be made applicable, in the discretion of the Executive, to the object of Indian emigration generally. It will be time enough, after the country is chosen, to provide the means to extin guish the title or titles of the present occupants, and for other objects connected with the plan of selling it, ifec. as pro posed. Various illustrations might be added, confirming, in my view of it, tho impor tance of the policy which I have glanced at, and these should have been added, but for want of time; enough only I find to be left for me to ruu out this meagre out line, which is respec mnshment of the public debt. It was re plied by Mr. M’Duffie and Mr. Gorham, that the very ruiuorof the intention of the Governmentto throw that amountof stock into the market, and to withdraw from its connection with the Bank, would reduce the stock to its par value. The resolu tion, on motion of Mr Gorham, was then laid on the table. FROM FRANCE.

This sanctioning in Council is required by one of their laws. I left the articles with tho Agent, who will attend the Council, anti superadd the usual certificate in such cases.

James'Barucujr : I proceed, immediately on mv return, (deferring niv genera! report on the vari ous subjects connected with my recent tour to another period) to submit, in brief, as promised in niv communication to you from Miiledgeville, in Georgia, of the 1 7 * 11 mstant, ihe conclusions I hive arrived at, .in regm d to the policy which J respectful ly suggest should prevail in our intercourse •villi the Indians. I refer especially to that biancti of it which embraces the ques tion of-emigration and settlement, without the States and 1'erritorics, and upon lands "from which they will never again be re quested to remove. These remarks will • be confined to the four Southern Tribes, generally but especially to the Creeks. Hitherto, the propositions on this sub ject, as on most others, have been concluded under the form of treaties ; ami there can be no question, hut, so far as best, because the propositions were never iii’j Hst or unreasonable, and because the Lillians themselves received them in 1 he spirit in which they were conveyed,fere fern those interventing and counteracting agencies, which have, »f < ite years, been s0 industriously employed, and now work so busily and selfishly, in governing their decisions; and which seldom ail in filing j them i^apposition to the policy of the Go j vsrnment, nr in the exaction of such terms as are inadmissible. Ties influence lias; become paramount among the Creeks ; * and to* it may be attributed, in great part, if not wholly, the difficulties which have j I tin in. .tire <vav of an e wlier settlement of e recent efthi^ I h ive only to remark, that it was not until I had me; the Creeks in a third Council, that l could succeed with them ; Dor then, until, iu iheir midst, I demon strated the cupidiry and bad- counsels of awe of these interfering agents, and assu ming die responsibility, broke him on the spot, by announcing,.iu the name of th President of the United Stales, the reiisons then assigned, no communi cation ofanv sort would he received by the President from the Creek X 1’on, if ♦ hat man had any agency w.. never in it. This broke the spell of their opposition, and the agreement was made. I have come to die conclusion—(I rr>- 4 know, object i f the Government being kind to the iudians, and intended wholly to bet ter their condition, its determination is final ; and that no persons will be per- oiitted, with impunity, to interfere in it.— To sustain this l ist position, the presence of a few troops pnly would be required. I would have it distinctly understood, that a reasonable number of reservations should be granted ; and lliat they should be given in fee simple to those who might prefer to remain. This poliev applies, in its fullest ex tent, to the Creeks. I confine it, in this extent, to tlvs People, not because it is not, in a great degree, applicable to o- thers; hut because I consider the way to be wide open for *lm Cirick isaws and Choctaws ; and, therefore, no illustrations in reference to them are needed. In regard to these, (die Chickasaws and Choctaws,) I believe it will onlv be required to make the provision, and, as has been more fullv explained in mv re ports of the 10 h and J 7th October, mark ed A. B. and C. and they will go. I be lieve, also, the greater portion of the Cherokoes would follow; and, unon a bare exposition of the plan which has been recommended, the establishment of a suitable system for their transportation, am! an invitation to theirwto go and join tlleir brothers. I did not, as you arc aware, visit the Cherokeps. It was mv wish to have seen them, and, in pursuance of vour in structions, make known the views and wishes of the Government to them, also. Mv time, T found, would not hold out, and, if it had been longpr. I must have arrived in their country at the period when the Commissioners were engaged in ne gotiating for the privilege of uniting, bv means of a canal, through their country, the waters of Conasago and Hiwassee; and I should have deemed it prudent, even with time enough to have visited them, not to distract their councils bv practicable routes, to each of the towns of Columbia, Camden and Hamburgh ; and that the formation, organization and subsequent proceedings of said company shall he according to the provisions of an act passed during the present session, en- .litled “an act establishing the principles on which companiesshnll be incorporated, and the charters of ferries bridges and turn pike roads shall be hereafter granted;” and that the said company shall be entitled to all the rights and protection granted by the said act to turnoikecompanies, on the conditions of said act. 2. The said company shall he called “ The South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company;” and the capital s'oek thereof shall be composed of 7,000 shares with the right of increasing ihe said cap ital (by sale o*- subscription,) to an amount not exceeding 20,000 shares. 3. The said company after being du'v organized and incorpoiated, shall at all times have power to invest any surplus stock on hand in any public stock bearing interest, until the same may be required for meeting the contracts entered info. 4. The said company shall at all times have the exclusive rights of transportation on all the several rail ways or canals to he bv them constructed ; provided the charge of their transportation of goods, produce, &c. shall not exceed 25 cents per hundred pounds on heavy articles, and 10 cents per cube foo*, on articles by measurement for every one hundred miles, and 5 cents per mile on every passenger,'and at the above rate for anvjgrea*er or less distance, provided also the said company may rent or farm out all or any part of their exclu sive right of transportation above secured to any individual or other company sub ject to the resti ictions of the above pro viso. 5. The said company may, when thev deem it most expedient, open all or any of their said canals or rail ways to public use, and may establish suitable rates <>f armistice extended only to Hydra. He was met however by 1 he four British ves sels, and by dint of remonstrances and a few shots in his hulls, convinced that he had better return.

We have the strongest assurance of the eminent qualification of this gentleman, in the fact that he has been selected by Judge Wright, for this duty in which he has embarked, who has placed under him one of his own sons. The importance of this work, to Geor gia cannot bo readily appreciated. The> amount saved by the planter, in the transportation of his produce to market* will in three or fouryeais, equal the cost of its execution.
