.Jso be recollected, that this treaty (of 18lit)

consent of the Cherokee* on the u -stot the
>Iississi|»jii ; and that too after a number of
die most influential chiefs of the nation hail
i migrated to the west, on the faith of the
treaty of DU f. The wisdom, jioliey, orjus-
lire of this measure, I leave to lie disemer-
,1 by persons better skill' d in the mysteries
uf dtnloDiacy than I profess to be. The pre
sent is the first session of Cougre-s, and con
sequently the first opportunity wliieli has
occurred since the treaty ofliilit, to urge
the claims of Georgia on the general govern
meiit. Mr. Cobb with a promptitude and
spirit that does eijual honor to his head and
his heart, and which should endear him to
every true Georgian, is the first man from a-
inong the whole of our representation fur 18
years past, who has stepped forward as the
advocate of the rights of our much neglect
ed state. Where then is the foundation of
the charge of an “ Old Georgian’’ that Mr.
C’s “ *eal has slumbered so long?" Will h
with * knowledge of the fact of the exist-
i ,.c>' of the treaty of 1817, at the time of the
discussion of the Seminole question, pretend
to say, that, that was the period for urging
the claims of Georgia, when those claims
were to a considerable extent provided for
I v that treaty? Would it not have been
deemed something more than oflirionsness
in Mr. C. to have urged the claims of Geor
gia during the existence of the treaty of I ul7,
and at a time loo w him that treaty find bare
ly began to be rarrind into effect r The first
Jpporlunity which presented itself, of bring-
iogi this subject before Congress, w as at the
present session, during the discussion of the
military appropriation hill, at which time it
was introduced, hut subsequently withdrawn
by Mr. C. as more properly connected with
the app'opriation bill fur the civil list. That
Mr. C. in the discussion of this subject should
“ charge the general government w ith fa» ou-
ritism to other stales in the extinguishment
of In lian title t» lands" is certainly muse of
much regret, not on account of the Marge
being nuule, but because there is evidence
strong as holy writ of the existence of such
favoritism, (nr whatever other namr you
please to give to it), which has evinced itself
in acts os notoriously injurious to the inter
ests of Georgia,as the malignant insinuations
of .an Old Georgian, are to the interests of
truth. Who can hut admire the prompti
tude of the executive in attending to the in
terests of Georgia, wlnn lie recollects that
III years have elapsed since the V. States for
a most valuable consideration bound herself
to extinguish at her own ex pence at as early
a date as possible, the Indian title to all the . I
lands in Georgia; that within that period Im-1 the part ol the oilmens of the 1
Tueose purchases of liulian lands have been } against the subjects and dominions uf Spain,
ful the beucui uf ullier stales, to wiiom I ami an unfriendly policy in their Govt ru
tile United States were under no particular moot, and to obtain new stipulations against
isbli-atiuna; and ;ha! now on the reception! Uicm- alludged injuries, as lire . omliliou u.i
by those who oppose the bill was the belief
that the duties proposed, would have the if.
b'ct ul excluding tnrcigu labricks to such an
“*tent as to depicts materially, if not destroy
entirely, the commerce and the navigation
of the country, and consequently crippli
nur naval strength, annihilate the reveiim
from imports,and render internal taxes lie
cessary fur the support of the government.
Some bclievi ii lli.it the existing duties were
sufflrient. Tliese opinions, it is true, were
met w ith force and ability, by the friends of
the hill ; but they prevailed. It appears to
us that a system less iodise, iminale, embrac
ing a smaller augmentation of duties, would
have received the sanction of both Houses.

Duties on Suits at .hiction Postponed.
After having been once rejected, then re
considered,amended, and passed, the bill for
laying Duties on certain Sales at Auction of
foreign goods has been again re-considered,
in tin* Ifiuise of Representatives, and post
poned to tile next Session of Congress.
Thus, all the parts of the system, reported
by the committee of Manufactures, hav ebeen
rejected, or. w hat is tantamount, postponed to
the next session. It is not, however, those
w lioare opposed to affording further encour
agement to manufactures, as w ill be seen by
the Proceedings in the next page, that have
defeated the Auction Doty Hill. It had pas
sed the House of Representatives, and has
been reconsidered and postponed, at the sug

the ground that, unconnected with the Ta-

Ollt RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.
Washington, May 10.
1'iie following Me-sage was yesterday transmit
ted to both Houses of Congress, by the Pre
side.it of the United States :
To the Senate and House uf Rtpresent.itivts
ofthe United States.
I communicate to Congress a correspon
dence which has taken place between the
Secretary of State and the Kuvny Kxtraur-
dinary and .Minister Plenipotentiary of llis
Catholic Majesty, since the message of the
di tli March last, respecting the treaty which
was concluded between the Uuilcd .States
and -Spain, on the g_’d February, ICItl.
After the failure of his Catholic Majesty
for so long a time to ratify the treaty, it was
expected that this Minister would have bro’t
with him the ratification, or that lie would
have been authorized (ogive an order for (lie
delivery of the territory ceded by it, to the
United States. It appears, however, that the
treaty is still unratified, and that the Minu ter
ins no authority to surrender the territory.
Tlie object of his mission lias been, to make
complaints, and to demand explanations, re-
pecting an imputed system of hostility, on
uf it memorial from the Legislature of Geor
gia, he has the goodness to recommend an
appropriation for holding a treaty with the
Indians! Strange that with nil these fio-.s
before him, of the promptitude of the U-
nited States in meeting her engagements
with Georgia, any mail from this state should
Have the hardihood to charge the general
government with favouritism! As to the
assertion “that whatever di«ndv»nt.age« the
interests of Georgia m >y have laboured un
der, have resulted from the neglect of
tiiosc whose mure immediate duly it was
t i attend to them,” as it does out apply to
Mr. C. I should have been at a loss to know
fir w hat purpose it was introduced; hut from
tho preceding part of the sentence, and my
“knowledge of the folks,” I “shrewdly guess"
it was designed wholly as a flattering com
pliment to the present very enlightened chief
magistrate of Georgia.—Why tiie subject oi
the Seminole war should he logged head
and ears into a discussion relative to the ne
glected rights of Georgia, nothing hut my
“ knowledge of the folks’’ enables me to con
jecture ; but as tho arguments both pro and
con have long since been ^exhausted, and as
it can have no legitimate connexion with the
present subject, I shall simply ask, admitting
for argument sake, the. con loot of our repre-
s citatum in Congress to have been erroneous
on this question, why cast the whole censure
on Mr. Cobh ? The whole of our represen
tation voted with Mr. C. on this question,
a id vv’i it has he done to be made Hie scape
goat on which to heap their sins? Those
who have a “ knowledge of the folks’ engag
ed in this malignant persecution of a man
w ho docs honor to the state he represents by
his talents and manly independence, could
assign the reason for this without traveling
to IfashingUn, and could develope their “fu
ture puqsosrs" without any reference to •• the
S 'cretary of State, Mr. Adams.” The fact
this; “ An Old Georgian” has discovered to
Id, very great mortification, that Mr. C. not
withstanding the great efforts which have
h",-n made to hear him down, is fast rising
in public estimation, and that the people be
gin justly to appreciate his talenti, zeal and
industry, This discovery is worse than
wormwood a id gall to him, and hence the
ground of such unfounded and malignant in
sinuations. I would advise “ An Old Ocor-
jtian” to lie more careful in future in select-
teg tile character in which he appears before
file public ; if he must write nur the signa-
Pten pf Rrutus, let him not he the advocate
or tyranny ; if he must he “ An Old (c'orgi-
u%' let him not appear as the advocate ol
the general government III her conduct to
wards Georgia, and the traducer of the cha
racter of the only member of Congress w ho
has t v,, brought forward the claims of Geor
gia before that body.
A NATIVE GEORGIAN.
Washington, May},
THE NEW TARIFF REJECTED
Toe hill to increase the duties on certain
""ported articles, was yesterday rejected in
St nti», after three or four hours debate.
Though the particular motion by which the
lull was lost, was carried by a single vote
"uly. vre have reason to believe that the niu-
jority would have been greater, had the quej-
h'm been a direct one upon the merits of the
lull. Several gentlemen, w e undi rstand, one
or two of them from the North, who voted
t'g ilaW postponing the bill, would have vot-
yd against its enactment, either in the shape
! "Inch it passed the House of Uepresenta
or as it was proposed to be modified by
'r cnnimittec of the Senate.
The Debate which will bo published, will
oi'H'io, the views of those who opposed, as
”' 'i av of those who advocated, the addition-
* d'ltus. It may not be improper, liowev-
® r *’he mean time, to state, that the oppo-
of the bill avowed no hostility to the
‘“Uocturing interest—ail agreed as to the
P° Uf y of affording a due protection to doines-
' ‘“onfaclures ; the difference of opinion

which the treaty should he ratified.
Unexpected as such complaints and such
a demand, were, under existing circumstan
ces, it Was thought proper without compro
nutting the government as to the course to
lie pursued, to meet them promptly, ai.it to
give the explanations that were desired, on
every subject, with the utmost candor.—
The result lias proved, what was siifiirienlly
well known before, that the charge of » «$ --
tematie hostility being adopted and pursued
by citizens ol tile United States, against the
dominions and subjects of Spain, is utterly
destitute of foundation, and that their go
vernment, in all its branches, has maintained,
with the utmost rigor, that neutrality, in the
civil war between Spain and hrr colonies,
which they wire the first to declare. No
force has been collected, nor incursions made,
from within th United States against the
dominions of Spain; nor Imve any nnv !
equipments been permitted, in favor uf ci
ther party against the other. Tht ir citizens
have been warned of the obligation* incident
to the neutral condition of their country ;
the public officers have been instructed to
see that the laws were fully executed ; mid
severe examples have been nude of soure
who violated them.
lo regard to the stipulation proposed, Sr
t!;c condition of tho ratification untie treaty,
that the United Slates shall abandon the
right to recognize the revolutionary colonies
in South America, or to form other relations
w ith them, vvtii ii, in their judgment, it ma y
be just and expedient so to do, it is manifest
ly so repugnant to the Inner, and even to
the independence of the United States, that
it has been impossible to discuss it. In ma
king ibis proposal, it is perceived that II :s
Catholic Majesty lies entirely misconceived
the principles on which this govenioient has
acted, in being a party to a negotiation so
long protracted, for claims so well founded
and reasonable, as he likew ise Ins the sacri
fices which the United States have made,
comparatively, with Spain, in the treaty to
which it is proposed to annex so extraor
dinary and improper a condition.
Had the Minister of Spain offered an un
qualified pledge that the treaty should he ra-
Ulied Ivy llis severe gll, on being made ac
quainted with the explanations which hud
been given by tin's government, there would
have been a strong motive for accepting and
submitting it to the Senate for their advice
and consent, rather than to resort to other
measures for redress, however just.liable te
proper. Hut be gives no such pledge. On
the contrary,lie declares explicitly that the
refusal oi iSi." government to relinquish the
right of judging and ai ling for itself hereat-
ter, according to circumstances, in regard lo
the Spanish colonies, a right common to nil
nations—has rendered it impossible lor him,
under his instructions, to make such engage
ment. lie thinks that his sovereign wit. he
induced, lit his communications, to ratify
the treaty ; but still he leav es linn freecither
to ailopl'lhat measure, or to decline it. He
admits that the other objections are esre.it.-
ally removed, and will not, in tlwujs.lves,
prevent the ratification, provided the dtllicul-
ty on the third point is surmounted. I he
result, therefore, is, that the treaty .s declar
ed to ha'c no obligation whatever: that its
ratification is made to depend not on tiie
considerations which led to its adoption, and
the conditions w hich it contains, but on a
dew article unconnected with it, respecting
vv hich anew negociation must be opened, oi
indefinite duration and doubtful issue.
Under this view ofthe suhj.'i l, the course
tu lie pursued would appear lo be direct and
ubv mu', if the affairs of Spain had remained
in the State ill whic h they were when tin
minister sailed. But it is known, that an
important change has since taken plicu in
the government ol that country, winch can
not fai! to Ik: sensibly felt in its intercourse
with other nations. The Minister of fcpam

St tins must now be assumed, on full con J-
deratiou of what is due to their rights, their
interest, and honor, without regard to the
powers or incidents of the late mission. We
may, at pleasure, occupy the territory, which
was intended and provided by the bite trea
ty as an indemnity for losses so long since
sustained by our citizens; bi.t still nothing
could be settled definitively, without a treaty
between tile tw o nations. Is this the time to
make the pressure? If the United States
were governed Ivy views of ambition and ag
grandizement, many strong reasons might
lie given in its favor. Bultliey have no ob
jects of that kind to accomplish ; none
which are not founded in justice, and which
can be injured hy forbearance. Great hope
ia entertained tliut this change will promote
the happiness of the Spanish nation. The
good order, moderation, St humanity,which
have characterised the movement,'are the
best guarantees of its success. The United
States would not he justified in their own es
timation should they take any step to dis
turb its harmony. When the Spanish go
vernment is completely organized on the
principles of this change, as it is expected it
soon will be, time is just ground to presume
that our differences with Spain will lie spee
dily and satisfactorily settled. With these
remarks, 1 submit it to the wisdom of Con
gress, whether it will not still he advisable

Extract of a litter from ngrntleman in Ma

.Madrid, March 8, lit JO.
“ On the 4th inst. the first official article
issued by this government in consequence of
the existing disturbances, appeared in the
Gazette. Report said the King had deter
mined lo call the Cortes, and curiosity was
on tiptoe to see the royal order for that pur
pose. The official article disappointed ev« ry
body ; and, while it shows tli.it the ^
meal is seriously alarmed, shew*, too, that
it liaa neither vigor nor system for itsdirec
lion in the present dangerous state of the
country. While his Majesty determines that
hit council shall occupy itself immediately,
and according to the object of its institution,
tec. the revolution is extending itself in every
direction- In Galicia, the constitution has
breu sworn lo, and a provisional government
appointed : of which, Agar, a member ofthe
regency during tile I’eniosular war, is tile
chief. Then; have hern some movements
in Murcia; anil symptoms of disaffection to
the King have appeared in Segovia. A per
tion of me army at Ocaua, under the com
mandof Alexander O’Donnell, has declared
itself in favor ofthe constitution, and ha
been joined by Count Abislial, who left this
in disguise, on Thursday evening the id inst.
It is evident the king must consent to the

The motive for these precautions was a be

“ The Governor bad received information
fro in a i .apidary, that he hid prepared a

they hod compelled him lo fix ail inscription.

and compel him to accept it ; and that it was

him to agree tn it. What is certain is, that
the fact of Ilia aflirining the constitution was
ifully ciininnitiieiiUd to ul! the tiuops

A Mulrid ttrltclf- says, every day there
come forth from the dungeon* of the Iu-
piisition. soldiers auii citizens, whom
pii|ilic opinion and gratitude replace at
the head of the government and the tri

all Spain revere.
.Another Duel.—A Duel took place on tin

Mr. llvrxLKV, the bearer of despatch
es from Mr. Fomvth, our Minister in
Spain, arrived in this ritv ye»terday.—
From what vve can learn, the rumor of
Itis having brought the ratification of the
1 reatv with Spain isvvliolly vtnfuunded.
Every account concurs in attributing
to tbeCorte* a disposition friendly to pa
cific relations with (lie Tinted State*.—

under the circumstances, should tiie
Menage of the Executive lo C'ongres*,

towards Spain, or at least leave the ques
tion perfectly flee for Congress to de

St. Louis, (.!/. T.) April 13.
I am sorry to say, that unpleasant news
reached us last ev etiirig from Fort Craw
ford, on Rock Island, 2ti0or 70 mile* n-
e this From 5 gct! , !e!*'.r., directly
from that post, 1 am inforinril, that two

shot within a very .hurt dt.tance of the l>

“ tiie cession ofthe Florida* is now suspen

Mr. Preston, late member cf ?.ar!ia

COMMODORES DECATUR AND BARRON.
lt i« always painful, ia every view of
the case, tn recur tu the late uffair be
lli ecu Com. Decatur and Com. Barron.
It would perhaps, be better that all it 1
circumstances, together with its unfor
tunate v ictim, should be buried in the
silent grave. But such is the keenness
of public feeling, its eager curiusify after
every tiling relating to the affair, that vve
.unstrained to state the follnwinr
facts,derived from the most unquestiona
ble authority.
When these deluded men met ou the
field ; (absurdly called the field of honor,)
Cum. Decatur said to lus antagonist,
• Com. Barron, this is a very foolish iiu-
iness vve are about.” Barruu replied,
‘•Very foolish indeed, Com. Decatur, but
t cannot be avoided.—Com. Decatur then
stated to bis friend, (iffriend lie car be
ailed,j 1 wish to be stripped, to prove
that 1 have nothing about inetovvarduff
mil.” An explanation took place—
Com. Decatur threw out some flints from
hi« waistcoat pocket, ami Coni. Barren
threw out some small change, and a sil
ver cased lent pencil.—Tiie deadly ar
rangement then proceeded, and on (lie
word being gum, both fell, so simulta
neous sit) the lire of the opposite pur-
i'hey were immediately removed by
their attendant*, to a spot, tvh ti* they
had a ahull opportunity of conversing,
both under the impression that it was to
be their lost interview in this world, as
pacli believed liis wound lobe mortal.—
1’hus situated, Com. Decatur, vve under-
stand, said, “ Barron why did you not
come homo during the war.” “ I could
not,” replied Barron, “ 1 even had not
the means to pay lor a passage, if an op
portunity had offered.” “ Ifyou had let
me know this,” said tiie lamented Deca
tur,” we should not Imre been here as
we ai r now.” They parted reconciled
to each other.
Suc.li ala*! is the sad infatuation of
the modern code ofhonor! Two high-
minded, valuable men, slaked their lives,
their reputation, the happiness of their
families, fur what ? To a visionary,
f.d-c, chivalric notion of honor!—Philad.
