Interesting.—Yesterday,before (lie. Court of Sessions, a trial camu on which excited m ore than usual interest. It Was that of a beautiful young woman, whose unassuming modesty mdueed Price and Hodman, at torneys, to volunteer their able services in ber behalf. She was charged with having passed a three dollar bank hill, knowing the same to be a forgery. After a trial of about three hours, the Jury retired, and were nb- iibscnt two hours. So lively was the inte rest in her behalf, that no one who heard the pleading left the court room until after the Jury returned its verdict, which was, not guilty. Such was the acceptability of the verdict, that the crowded court instantane ously expressed their joy by a spontaneous cheering and clapping. RECORDER MILLEDGEVILLE, Tuksdav, Apkii. 4. O-Ata partial assemblage of the good people of Boston, it was lately determined by unanimous consent, that a general meet ing of the citizens of that town lie ronvenod “/or tht purpose of taking into consideration the late decision of the Con screes of the Unit- td States on the Missouri Question, and the propriety of expressing the sentiments and feelings of the citizens on thefurther extension of slavery." The Editor of the Boston Pa triot enquires very rationally, “whatbenefit can possibly result from the proposed meet ing, on the Missouri Question, which has been so long debated in Congress, discussed in every circle, and ultimately settled by the supreme power of the Republic ? “ The territory from which slavery is er- thided, by the act admitting Missouri into the Union, is ns large as all that portion of the United States east of the River Missis sippi. There is no other portion of the ter ritory. into which slavery can he admitted, but Arkansaw. Thus the greatest liberality has been on the part of the slave-holding states. This compromise is the result of a most serious and alarming conflict between the slave and non-slave holding states. “ Vo measure which individuals may a- dopt, can alter the compact which has been made, between Congress and the people of those territories, embraced in the act for the admission of Missouri: the act cannot be repealed, as it respects that state, or the Ar- kansaw territory; it is in the nature of a contract, which cannot be violated. Why then call meetings, which can only tend to fan the flames of discord and extend that ruder of the oflicers denounred: for it could hardly be believed that they were proceeded against and censured wholly upon ex parte proof ; and without being heard, or even notified of the intended investigation. 1 have, however, the me lancholy pleasure of knowing, that the investigation, if it really took place, was ex parte, and that I was not previously " informed ot the nature and cause of accusation, ’ nor allowed an opportunity of being "confronted with the witnesses against me,” a privilege guaranteed by the constitution of the United States to every cili/.cn, even to the poorest nud most wretched offender. The National Intelligencer of the 19th Dec. which 1 received in the month of January last, contains a resolution of the Senate of the United States, under which, it seems, the committee in question acted. “ The resolution is as follows : " Resolved, That the message of the President and documents relative to the Seminole war, be referred to a select committee, who shall have authority, if necessary, to send for persons and pa pers ; that said committee inquire rela tive to the advance of the United States' troops into West Florida; whether the officers in command at Pensacola A. St. Marks were amenable to, and under the control of Spain, and particularly what circumstances existed to authorize or jus tify the commanding general in taking possession of these posts.” “ As the committee did not “ send for” or notify me to attend its sittings, I could not suppose, under this resolution, that my conduct was to be inquired into, and I was confirmed in this conclusion, from the well known fact, that the order for “ the advance of the U. States’ troops into West Florida” did not originate with me, though I was convinced that the measure was indispensably necessa ry to give security to our suffering fron tier settlements. After much inquiry and reflection, to ascertain the ground of accusation, and to determine upon the proper steps to enable me to penetrate : nd counter act the designs of my personal-enemies, l hare traced it in part to a false state ment, which appears to have been made to the committee, upon oath, by D. B. Mitchell, Creek Indian Agent. “ How it happened that this agent was in Washington, near seven hundred miles from his agency ; and why he should have been called before the committee to bear w itness touching mv conduct, without my having been notified there of, I am totally at a loss to divine or re concik with any sound principle of even handed justice. “ The arrival of several vessels, laden with Africaus, on the coast of Florida, from whence they could he conveniently excitement which, fortunately for the Union, appears to have been checked by a wise, po litic and magnanimous compromise? In- smugglud into the Creek Nation, pre- strnd/>f joining in the ^ensures against those 8en ted such golden prospects to persons members from the north and east, who were in favor of an amicable adjustment, the real friends of the Union should bestow upon them their praises, their thanks; they have saved the country from a most alarming sec tional conflict : they have established the integrity of the Union on a firm basis ; they have forever put at rest the delicate subject of slavery, so far as the national government can take a part. “This town has once expressed its senti ments, and the State Legislature has passed resolutions evincive of the ideas entertained by that body, on the Missouri question. Can any good grow out of another meeting in Boston ? No citizen of the United States wishes slavery. All arc anxious to diminish ; to extinguish slavery, but not at the erjiense of a civil war. Let, therefore, all clamor cease, and one opinion prevail—the impor tance of cultivating harmony and good will among^all parts of the Republic." If it be true, as stated, that the hrave Dec ATua has fallen in a personal rencounter, the unfortunate circumstance cannot too much be lamented. Commodore Barron, from whom he is said to have received a mortal wound, is supposed to be the same officer who commanded the Chesapeake when she was attacked by the Leopard, and who, for not making a proper defence, was suspended ten yerrs from command by the sentence of a Court Ma fur was President. Martial, of which Deca- ft?" By a letter from Washington City we learn, that nothing could have been more, un expected to the House of Representatives, than the Report of the committee of Foreign Relations, which recommends the occupati on of the Floridas. Very few in either branch of Congress seemed disposed to sup port the President in the position taken in his Message, and it was thought from that cir cumstance and the pecuniary embarrass ments of the country, that no report would have been made at the present session. The measure, we are told, will meet with strong opposition ; yet we think it will be adopted, leaving a discretion perhaps with the Presi dent, to act as circumstances may require— m that event, he will probably wait still lon- f* r f° r the arrival of the Spanish Minister.— U. S. troops from the North are moving to- wards the Floridas, and Spanish troops it is said have been ordered thither from Havan- na. ft?" Accompanying the Report of the Se- Frt Committee, which will be found on the first pag e c r to-day’s Recorder, are several Documents—among these, a letter front Ge neral Gaines to the Secretary at War, dated Augusta, Ga. October 17th, 1819, has attract e, l our particular notice—from that docu ment the following extracts are copied: ‘ Sir—i have been inexpressly hurt * n< embarrassed by r, publication pur porting to be a repoyt of a Committee of a * e f,en! 'te of the United States, wltich Ppeared in the newspapers about the 0,e °f the last session, animadverting i*on and censuring my conduct in the ,al * Seminole war. _ j ,vaa embarrassed because of the y i'Uy and manifest injustice of this act witl?!k' >r€ ’ ,,s ^ ere ^ forth to the world ' he apparently irresistible force and emnity of a decree of a high tribunal, disused to embark in that lawless and ignominious traffic, ng to produce im mediate efforts on their part to bring a- bout an understanding between them and the Florida Indians. A half-ivar half pence system, was evidently most desir able to those smugglers ; because the intercourse between the two places would, in that case, be confined to the select few possessing the confidence of the prime movers of that detestable traf fic ; of whom 1 have not a doubt, but th it the agent, l). B. Mitchell, was one. He was accused by some frontier inhabitants, as well as by Colonel Brearly, and cap tain Melvin, of having received at the agency near one hundred smuggled slaves ; and in consequence of my hav ing noticed and exposed his conduct, he has endeavored to injure me by a false and malicious attempt to prove me guil ty of an act which he considers to have been the immediate cause of the Semi nole war. “ The report further states, that “ General Gaines, without orders,Took upon himself the authority of raising an army of at least sixteen hundred Creek Indians, appointing their officers, with a Brigadier General at their head, and likewise mustering this force into the service of the United States.” " I cannot find upon what testimony 1 am thus charged with raising an army of Creek Indians, and appointing their ofli cers, with a Brigadier-General. “ 1 can truly say that 1 never did raise an army or any part of an army without proper authority ; nor did I ever appoint an officer without proper authority. 1 feel convinced that every honorable member of the committee will find, on re-examining the documents and testi mony published, on the subject of the Seminole war, that, in regard to the friendly Indian warriors, l did nothing more than to accept or permit them to join and co-operate with me in the in tended expedition against their &t our enemies, the hostile Indians. It will be found that the friendly warriors who first proposed this co-opeiation, were prevented, by the intrigues of the ne gro smuggling agent, from joining me ; nor did any ever join me until after the arrival of Major General Jackson, whose presence relieved me of the duty of de ciding on the propriety of imeepting or rejecting their co-operation^tf retaining or discharging them. I appointed none of the officers belonging to any of the friendly Indian* in question; 1 think they appointed their own officers. “ I have devoted my time almost ex clusively, ever since my earliest duys of manhood, to the theory and practical duties of my profession ; and although 1 have frequently seen in newsprpers and other publication*, biographical memoirs, and statements relative to ray conduct, full of misrepresentation ; and which it has often been completely in my powerto correct, by the publication of undeniable proof; I have abstained from doin.7 so from a belief that my attention should not be thus diverted from my public duty, and under the full impression that every honest and intelligent citizen, knowing the trust reposed in tne, and having some knowledge of my humble efforts to me rit a trust so high and honorable, will naturally conclude that 1 Can have no reasonable motive to do wrong, and that every consideration connected with my present and future welfare must strong ly prompt me to endeavor steadily to do right ; 1 therefore conclude that they will consider me to be innocent, until 1 am lawfully proven to be guilty. I claim no privilege but such ns is common to every citizen, andsnch as is guaranteed to all by the constitution and laws of the L nited States.—Exemption from thecru- el A unmerited punishment of reprimand and censure without a hearing, is one a- motig the dearest of those privileges.” ft?" A letter from a member of Congress to one of the Editors of this paper, dated, Weshington, 17th March, says, “IVs have just got through the. civil appropriation bill in the committee of the whole house, and it is now under consideration of the house ; where it may undergo small alterations in some of the articles reported by the commit tee. But what I more particularly wish to inform you is, that Mr. Cobb offered an a- mendment to the bill while it was before the committee, appropriating thirty thousand dollars to defray the expense of holding a treaty with the Creek Indians, for the extinc tion of their title to laud within the States of Georgia. Mr. Cobh presented to the eom- mittec a clear statement of the just demand which the State of Georgia has on the ge neral government, for the extinction of the Indian title to lands within the tnritnrial li mits of the State, agreeably to the articles of cession entered into between the State and the federal government, on the 24th April, 1802. In his speech Mr. C. made a very good impression on the committee in fayor of the amendment. The measure was sup ported by Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, and l»y Mr. Cuthbert and Mr. Abbot of Ueorgiu, and was finally agreed to. After the com mittcc rose, a message from the President of the United States was read by the Clerk which had just been received, recommend ing an appropriation of money for the very purpose of holding the treaty contemplated by the amendment, and for obtaining a res toration of property taken by the Indians from individual citizens of the Uniletj States. “1 have thought proper to make this com munication to you, from a conviction that it will be agreeable news to the people of Geor gia, whose rightful claims on the Govern ment have been egregiously neglected in re lation to the extinction of Indian titles to lands within the territorial limits of the State of Georgia.” Extract of a letter from the Hon. J.Q. Alices, Secretary oi orate to the Governor, enclosing a message oftbe President,' oi the U. Suites, on the subjects of an extinguishment ol'lniiiun title to lunJs wiiliin the Stale m ueorgiu, ami the adjustment oi claims ol our oilmens a- ga,rim the Indians. “ His Kxctllcncy Jolt., C.-wik, Governor of Georgia.

I am with great respect, sir, your very humble and ohe.d’t serv’t, JOHN QILNCY ADAMS.” Message to the Senate of the United Stales : It being stipulated, by the 4th article of the articles of agreement and cession, entered into on the 24 th of April, 11102, with the state of Georgia, that the Unit ed States should, at their own expense, extinguish, for the use of that state, as soon as might be done, on reasonable terms, the Indian title to all lands within its limits; and the Legislature of Geor gia being desirous of making a further acquisition of said lands at this time, pre suming that it may he done on reasona ble terms; and it being also represented, that property of considerable value which had been taken by the Creek and Cherokee Indians from citizens of Geor gia, the restoration of which had been provided for by different treaties, but which has never been made, it is propo sed to hold a treaty with those nations, and more particularly with the Creeks, in the course of this summer, for the at tainment of these objects. I submit tht subject to the consideration of Congress, that a sum, adequate to the expense at tending such treaty, may he appropria ted, should Congress deem it expedient JAMES MONROE. Washington, March 11th, 1820. Extract of a letter recived at the Richmond Compiler Office, dated “ Metropolitan Office, (Georgetown,) March 22. A Duel was this morning fought be tween Commodores Decatur and Barron, both are wounded—Report says Decatur mortally—Barron on the hip.” Savannah, March 27. Pirates Punished.—This day at 1! o’clock, Judge Davies, in an eloquent and impressive manner pronounced sen tence ofdeath on the following persons, convicted at the last term of the District Couyt of the United States, in this city of murder and piracy on the high seas, viz:—Ralph Clintock, of the privateer Siiartau, for piracy on the Danish brig Nordberg ; John Furlong, of the priva the murder of Capt. Thomas Sanby, of the ship Ann, of Scarbro’; David Bow er, ot the privateer Louisa, for piracy on the stiip Asia ; and Henry Matthews, of same privateer, for piracy on the ship Thomas Hardy. Bower and Matthews were recommended to the mercy of the I’rcsident, by the jury. We under stand that the Court-house was much crowded ; and that Clintock made a sen sible and impressive address, and ma nifested talents which it is truly to be deplored, were not devoted to society and his country—divulging many cir cumstances attending the capture of the Nordberg. They are sentenced to be hanged on Friday, the 28th of April next. Clintock, it is said, asked an extension of time, for the purpose of affording his friends an opportunity to intercede in his behalf, with the President of the U. States ; and to prepare a narrative for the public eye, in which he intends to give a full exposition of the whole af fair. To this request, the Judge did not respond. The fate of these unhappy culprits will it is to be hoped, check tlie progress of that burbarous and imp outlive plunder, wltich has so long spread danger ami death upon our seas, corrupted our sea men, and dishonored our country. [Republican.] Nf.w-York, March 14. The fast sailing.ship Stephania, Capt. Burke, arrived at this port on Saturday evening, in 26 days from Havre, having left the river on the 16th ultimo. The letters, however, ure only to the 9th and our Paris papers to the 8(h of the month. The passengers inform that it was ru mored when they sailed, that the insur gent troops of Spain had marched to Madrid, that the guards of the king had turned against him, and that he was as sassinated or had fled. There is nothing in the papers corroborative of this report, though it will be observed the passengers are 8 days later from Havre than the date of our papers. It appears that Cadiz was not in possession of the insurgents so lute j as the 21st of January, but it is stated as a rumor, that the gates of the city were opened to them on the following day Ano ther rumour was that Cadiz still hied out on the 24th January. A copy of a French Translation of Brack- enridge's History of our lute War with Great Britain, has been received in the city by a late arrival at New York. The Translation is by Mr. De Dolmas. The undertaking to publish such a work in France proves of it self that the History of our Country, and its onward march, excite uo little attention there. The same vessel brought a copy of a letter from the distinguished La Fayette, on the occasion of the presentation to him, by the French author, of a copy of his work. The folhnviug translation of that letter we know, will be acceptable to our readers: Cipy of a letter from general La Fayette, in answer to one from M.

Military Gallantry.—In a debate in the Senate on Friday last, on the Bill, making compensation to Gabriel Godfrey for a barn destroyed by the U. S. troops in the battle of the River Raisin, the following instance of gallantry was rela ted by Mr. Trimble, und confirmed by other gentlemen from the west.— ‘In the combined attack by the British and Indians on General Winchester’s army at the river Raisin, the enemy derived groat advantage from a barn within short rifle shot of the picketing of the Amer ican camp, by means of which they were not only sheltered hut enabled to fire into the pickets. It was all important that the barn should he destroyed and the enemy dislodged. The soldier in question, at the almost certain sacrifice of Ids life, rushed from the pickets to the barn with a torch and set it ou tire and had the good fortune to escape the bullets that were showered at him tho’ he suffered greatly in his rigging. It was this barn, which the soldier’s torch destroyed, that compensation was prayed for.” REVOLUTIONARY PENSIONS. This subject bus occupied much of the time of the House of Representatives for several days past. It appears pro bahle at present, that the Pension Law will not be touched at all; not that it not acknowledged that frauds more or less numerous may have been committed under it, but that it is supposed no pre ceution will prevent them. The bill re ported with that view is now amended so as to be completely a blank ; and it doubtful whether that blank will filled with any thing or not.
