THE fubferibers having determined to eftublifii a Re
publican Newfgtper at Savannah, in the (late of
Georgia, otter to the coniideration of the public the follow
ing conditions:
I The paper (hall be entitled, “ GEORGIA REPUB
LICAN, or,’ STATE INTELLIGENCER.”
11. It (hall be published twice a week, on paper, of good
quality,-and a type fair and legible. The (beet (hall be
as large as any now printed in that (late.
111. T he price of the paper will be fix dollars a year,
paid half in advance.
IY. Advertisements will be inserted at the prices cus
tomary in Savannah*
\* The publication (hall commence by the firft of July
next.
The principles which will guide the Editors of this pa
per are those for which a Sidney and a Hamden perifLed;
which produced the immortal Declaration of American
Independence; which supported the patriots of our revolu
tion through an eight years arduous war, or led them nobly
to die in defence of the liberties of their country; and
which were re-asserted in the election of our present federal
administration. Personal reflections will be studiously a
voided; but when the public good demands a ferutiny of
charadter they will not Ihun the performance of a duty.
1 hey will endeavor to diffufe information on all fub
jedls interesting to agriculture, commerce, manufactures,
or science, whether of a general nature, or relative to the
(late individually. Those who seek amusement will, it is
hoped, find in their columns wherewith u to pafc the vacant
hour.”
While they will never facrifice their principles, nor be
come (lumbering watchmen in the service of the people,
they will not shrink from the publication of corredi facts,
nor resort to falfehood in support of their own opinions.
The feelings of the moment mutt pass away, but principles
are eternal. * *
With thefc imprettions the patronage of their fellow ci
tizens is refpedt fully solicited.

always used as a house servant, and well
known in Savannah, who ran awav lad
night, taking with him his box of clothes, amongfl them,
a large blue be2r(kin great coat, and mixed doth small coat,
with fuftian and nankeen overalls. This runaway has a
fallen countenance, with an old fore leg, a sensible, artful,
daring fellow, who has his connexions on my plantation,
Skidaway Island. From circumstances, it appears he is
concerned with a gang of fellows, who idle about the
wharves, and in fi(Ring boats, and participates in their plun
der. It is apprehended he will endeavor to leave the (late,
and entice others awav. %
All Matters of vessels are cautioned against harboring
the above runaway, or taking him off, the offence being a
felony.
1 he above reward will be paid, either for securing the
fellow-, or on due proof and conviction of any person,
white or black, w-ho conceals, or at times may harbor him.

“ Nothing is talked of here but the power of France,

the deep policy and profound views of Bonaparte. Lou.

two or three years, to raise tobacco, rice, indigo, and
cotton, fufficient, not only for the wants of France, but
also to be able to spare fome of eacii of those articles to
other nations; in ffiort, such is the enthufiafin here fore
migrating to that land cf premise, that I (hould not be
surprised if one fourth of the population of France went
there, not to cultivate the land, but to be fearers in the
[poils of Mexico, in whose neighborhood they burn with
ardor to arrive. Perhaps those turbulent refllefs spirits,
of whom France can furnifh millions, and who, from their
habits of life, are much more likely to become rapacious
plundering fcldicrs, than all at once honed, induflrious,
peaceable farmers, will, when they arrive at Louisiana,

To judge from the gazettes of the United States, we think
