Higgins, F. On.LET, We understand that a committee has been appointed to effectuate the completion ofthe Gheenk and Pulaski monuments; and that it consists of the following gentle men : Maj. John Stevens, Col. A. B. Fannin, Saaiuei. B.Pahkman, Esq. Col.Monnr.cAi Meeks, and Dr. James P. Screven. Wc learn that the Mayor of our City has sent invitations to Mrs. Shaw, of Dungo- ncss, Ga. and Col. Francis Kinloch Hu ger, of South Carolina, to be present on the visit ofthe Guest of the Nation to this city. Mrs. Shaw, it will be recollected, is tho daughter of Genera! Gkef.ne, who holds so honorable a rank among our revo lutionary heroes; and Col. Huger is the Bon of the friend of General Lafayette, in whose mansion he resided on his first land ing in America.and the same i,-.dividual who in company with Dr. Bollman, so gallant ly but unsuccessfully, attempted his rescue from the dungeon of Olinutz.

The tiirest has fallen by the axe of our woodsmen—tiie soil Imb been made to teem by the tillage of our farmers ; our commerce lias whitened every ocean. Tiie dominion of man over piiysical nature, has been extended by tiie invention of our urtists. Libcny ami Law have marched hand in hand. All the pur By the ship Delaware, Hamilton, arri ved yesterday, we have received the Phila delphia Sentinel to the 5th inst. A press, of interesting matter, among which the principal is the inaugural address of Mr. Arams,-compels us to exclude this day much matter of a less interesting des cription, and some to us of perhaps a moro interesting character,to wit: advertisements. Gratifying Intelligence I—Ratifi cation of the Creek Treaty I!—We lenru by a letter from Washington City, dated on the 3d instant, with an extract of which we have been favored, that the trea ty concluded with tho Creek Indians in this state the present winter, 1ms been rati fied by a constitutional majority ofthe Sen ate of the United States. All immense quantity valuable land is thus secured to the state of Goorgiu, and asubjectofconsi derable excitement between the State and the United States, wo trust, amicably set tled. Governor Geo. M. Troup, arrived in this city on Saturday evening, tor tho purpose of receiving the Guest of the Nation. It will be perceived by the advertisement, that the field, staff and commissioned offi cers of the first (Chatham) regiment intend this day to pay tlioir respects to the Govern or, as commander-in-chief. A salute will be fired by the Chatham Artillery. Astronomical Lectures.—A crowded and highly respectable audience attended Mr. Goodacre’s Introductory Lecture, at tho Theatre, on Saturday, who appeared to be much gratified. Tlmt part of the ap paratus exhibited was splendid, and we. should judge, calculated to render the stu dy, simple and pleasing. Viewing the Lec ture of Saturday as a specimen of the Lec turer’s talents and mode of teaching, we consider it quite favorable in reference tu both. Appointment by tiie Governor,—Ro bert R. Reed, to be Judge of the Superior Courts of the Middle Circuit, in tiie room of Robert Walker, resigned. The special .meeting of the now Senate took place on the 4th instant. Tiie oath of office was administered to Mr. Calhoun, tho Vice-President, by Mr. Jackson, of Tonessee, the oldest Senator present, after which the Vice-President delivered an ad- druss to the Senate. The new members (six in number) then appeared and were qualified. The members ro-olceted, were also sworn, soon after which the Senate adjourned. National Legislature.—The term of the 18th Congress expired on Thursday the 3d instant. In the House, a motion by Mr. Newton to create an additional Department of Government, under the title ofthe Home Department, was refused to bo considered. The consideration of tho resolvo for coloni sing the free blacks in the intorior was al so refused. A resolution of thanks was passed to the lion. Ilonry Clay, when Mr. Clay addressed tiie House as follows : “ Gentlemen For the honorable tes- In retiring, perhaps forever, from aiitua- tion with winch so large a portion of my life has been associated, I shall continually re vert,during the remainder of it with incens ing respect and gratitude,to this great thea tre of our public action,and with the film be lief tlmt tip; public interests and liberty of our beloved country will be solely guarded hereafter, as they have been herctotbre, by enlightened patriotism. Gentlemen : In roturnng to your respec tive families and constituents, I beg all of yo i, without exception, to carry with you my fervant prayers for the continuation of your lives, your health, nnd your happi ness.” In the following column will be found a ra pidly sketched outline of the seems of yes terday. Wo have not time, nor linvo we the necessary materials, to make it more perfect. Among other things, which it ha been found impossible to enumerate, are the official or personal designations of the Members of Foreign Legations, or of our own Civil, Military and NsvnlOfficers, who were present on the uccasinn. The reader may suppose, and, we believe, pretty cor rectly, that all were present who were within the range of the rule of admission prescribed for the occasion. Tho military display was credible to the public spirit of our citizens; and general cessation from labor, die. on tiie day, was a respect which, once or twice a year, our fellow-citizens may well pay to the form of the constitution, and tiie epochs of our history—Nat. hit. Tiie Inaugural Ball, last evening, was splendidly attended, whether we regard the beauty of the one sex, or the station or re pute of the other. The President was pre sent, and the Vice-President, with many o- ther public characters, whom we cannot here enumerate, except to say, that the presence of the late President Monroe wrb one of those striking illustrations of our Republican system, which it is our good fortune daily to witness, and commit to such iiime as a fugative sheet can give.—lb. Wo. are indebted to a passenger in the northern stage for the information thatGen. Lafayette left Fayetteville on Saturday evening last, and arrived at our boundary line on Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock,where Ini was met by Colonel Preston, (one of the Governor’s Aids) with an escort nfDragoons, who offered him the salutions of his Excel lency, on his arrival within our limits, in a fine and emphatic manner. A lurgo con course of our citizens assembled on the line to meet him. He proceeded on that night to Choraiv, and was to have reached Cam den on Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock— Dor Inlnriiiaiit adds, that the General bus delighted all who liuve seen him, and that lie invariably descended from his carriage to greet the crowds who gathered at vari ous places on the road to meet him. C'h. Mi r. poses of human association have been ac complished as effectively as under any oili er government oil the globe; and at a cost little exceeding, in a whole generation, the expenditures of other nations in a single year. Such is the unexaggerated picture of our condition, under a constitution founded up on the Republican principle of equal rights, To admit that this picture has its shades, is hut to say that it is still the condition of men upon earth. From evil, physical, mu ral und political, it is not our claim to be ex empt. We have suffered, sometimes by tiie visitation of Heaven,through disease ; often by the wrongs and injustice of oilier mi turns even to the extremities of war; and lastly, by dissentions among ourselves—ilisscntiuns perhaps inseparable from the enjoyment of freedom, but which have more than once appeared to threaten the dissolution of the Union, and, with it, the overthrow of all the enjoyments of our present lot, aud all our earthly hopes of the future. The causes of these dissentionshavo been various, founded upon differences of speculation in the theory of Republican government; upon conHic- ting views of policy, in our relations witli foreign nations ; upon jealousies of partial and sectional interests, aggravated by pre judices and preposcssions, which strangers to each other, are ever apt to entertain. It is a source of gratification and of en- couragemeul to me, to observe, that the great result of this experiment, Epou the theory of human rights, has, ut tho close of that generation, by which, it was formed, been crowned with success, equal to the most sanguine expectations of its founders. Union, justice, tranquility, the common do- fence, tbe genera) welfare, and the blessings of liberty—all have been promoted by the government under which we hive lived Standing at this point oftime ; looking buck to that generation which has gone by, ami forward to that which is advancing, weniuy ut once, indulge in grateful exultation,’and in cheering hope. From the experience of the past, we derive instructive lessons for the future. Of the two great political par ties which have divided tiie opinions and feelings of our country, the candid and the just will now admit, that both have con tributed splendid talents, spotless integrity, ardent patriotism, and disinterested sacrifi ces, to the formation and administration of this governmnnt; and that botli have ac quired a liberal indulgence for a portion of human infirmity and error. The Revo lutionary wurs of Europe, commencing pre cisely at the moment when tiie government ofthe United States, first went into operh- tion, under this Constitution, excited u col lision of sentiments and of sympathies, which kindled all the passions and embittered the conflict of parties, till the nation was involv ed in war, und the Union was shaken to its centre. This time of trial embraced a peri od of five-aml-twenty years, during which, the policy ofthe Union, in its relations with Europe, constituted tiie principal basis of our political divisions, and the most arduous part oftlia action of our Federal Govern ment. With the catastrophe in which the wars of the French revolution terminated; anil our own subsequent peace with Great Bri tain, tills baneful weed of party strife was uprooted. From that time, no difference of principle connected either witli tiie theory of Government, or with our intercourse with Foreign Nations has existed, or been called forth, ill force sufficient to sustain a continued combination of parties, or to give more tlmn wholesome animation to public sentiment, or legislative debate. Our poli tical creed is. without a dissenting voice, that can be heard, that tile will of tho peo ple is the source and the happiness of the People, the end of all legitimate govern ment upon earth—that the best security for the iieiiificcncc, and tho best guarantee a- guinst the abuse of power, consists in the freedom, the purity, anil tho frequency of popular elections—that the general govern ment of the Union, and the separate gov ernments of the States, are all Sovereign- of limited powers; fellow-servants of same masters, uncontrolled within their uneoutrolablc by cn- each other—that the INAUGURAL ADDRESS. FROM TIIE PIIEN1X GAZETTE—Extra. Alexandria, Friday, March 4. At 12 o’clock, tho following Inaugural Address was delivered in the Hall of the IIousu of Representatives, by John Q,uin'cv Adams, on iiis taking the oath as President of tiie United States of America :— In compliance with no usage, coeval with the existence of our Federal Constitution, and suctioned by the example of my pre decessors in the career upon which 1 am about to enter, I appear, my fellow-citizens, in your presence, ami in tiiut of Heaven, to bind myself by tiie solemnities of a religious obligation, to the faithful performance of the duties allotted to me, in tiie station t o which l have been called. In unfolding to my countrymen the prin ciples by which I shall be governed, in tiie fulfilment of those duties, my first resort will be to that of tiie constitution, which I shall swear, to the best of my ability, to preserve, protect and defend. The revered instrument enumerates the powers, und pro scribes the duties, ofthe Executive Magis trate ; and, in its first words, declares tiie purposes to which these, and the whole ac tion of the government, instituted by it, should he invariably and sacredly devoted— to form a more perfect union, establish jus tice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the geuo-1 ties o ra] welfare, and secure the blessings of lib- i tin? si erty to tho people of this Union, in their 1 respective sphetes, successive generations. Since the adoption 1 crouchments upon of this social compact, one of these gen- i firmest security of peace, is the preparation orations bus passed away. U is the work I during peace, of the defences ot war—that of our forefathers- Administered by some j a rigorous economy, and accountability of of tho most eminent men, who contributed public expenditures, should guard against to its formation, through a most eventful-the aggravation, anil alleviate, when pussi- period in the annals of the world, and hie, the burthen of taxation—that tiie mil- through the vicissitudes of peace and war, itury should be kept in strict subordination incidental to the condition of associated to the civil power—that the freedom of the man, it has not disappointed the hopes and press and of religious opinion should be in- aspirations of those illustrious benefactors violate—that the policy of our country is of tlioir age and nation. It has promoted peace, and the ark of our salvation, union, tho lasting welfare of that country, so dear are articles of faith, upon which we are all to us all; it has, to an extent,, fur beyond now agreed. If there have been thoso who the ordinary lot of humanity, secured the doubted whether a confederated Rcpresent- freedom ana happiness of this People. We R , ' v,! Democracy, were a government, coin- now roccivo it us a precious inheritance petont to the wise and orderly management from thoso to whom we are indebted for its of the common concerns of a mighty na- establishment, doubly bound by the exam- Hon, those doubts have been dispelled. If n “ l, Pfo T *P* oeneni r lo what single indi pies which they have left us,"and by the there have been project, of partial our Government, nt once Federal and Na tional. It holds out to us a perpetual ad monition to preserve, alike, and with eqti al anxiety, the rights of each individual state in its own Government, and the rights of the whole Nation, in that of the Union.— Whatsoever of domestic concernment, un connected with the other members of the Union, or with foreign lands, belongs ex clusively to the administration of the State Governments. Whatsoever directly in volves the rights and interests of the fede rative fraternity, or of foreign powers, is, of the resort of this general government. The |iicp. ’iiivii nil!

COMMERCIAL. duties ofboth are obvious in the general principle, though sometimes perplexed with difficulties in tiie detail. To respect the rights ofthe State Governments is the invi olable duty of that of the Union: the go vernment of every State will feel its own obligation to respect and preserve the rights of thi: whole. The prejudices every where too commonly entertained uguinst distant strangers, are worn away, and the jealous ies of jarring interests, are allayed by the composition and functions ofthe Groat Na tional Councils, annually assembled from nil quarters ofthe Union, at this place.— Here the distinguished men from everyone- tion of our country, while meeting to deli berate upon the great interests of those by whom they are deputed, learn to estimate the talents, aud to do justice to the virtues of each other. The harmony ofthe nation is promoted, and the whole Union is knit together by the sentiments of mutual re spect, the habits of social intercourse, nnd the tics of personal friendship, formed be tween the Representatives of its several parts, in the pcrturmance of their service at this metropolis. Passing from this general review of the purposes and injunctions of the Federal Constitution, am! their results, us indicat ing tho first traces of the path of duly, in the discharge of my public trust, I turn tu tho administration of my immediate Prede cessor, as tiie second. It has passed awuy in a period of profound peace ; how mucil tu the satisfaction of our country, ami to the honor of our country’s name, is known to you all. Tl*e great features of its policy, in general concurrence with the will of the Legislature, have been—to cherish peace, while preparing for defensive war—to yield exact justice to other nations, and maintain the rights of our own—to cherish the prin ciples of freedom and,of equal rights,whure- ever they wore proclaimed—to discharge, with all possible promptitude, the national debt—to reduce,within the narrowest limits of efficiency, the military force—to improve the organization and discipline ofthe army —to provide ami sustuiu a school of military New- York, Mark 2.—Cotton.—The train, actions, since our last report, have been iv,s important.
