ADJOURNED MEETING.
An adjourned meeting of the citiaena of
Savannah and of Chatham county, was held
at the Exchange yesterday, pursuant to pub.
lie notice—Moj. Jno. Stevkns, in the chair,
aud Anthonv Portfs, Esq. Secretary. Dr.
W. C. Danifi.l, Chairman of the Commit
tee appointed by the meelingon Friday last,
to prepare an address to the Peopleof Geor
gia, submitted the following for considera-
ation, and it was unanimously adopted.
TO THE CITIZENS OP GEORGIA.
FELLOW CITIZENS I
Within the short period of twenty years,
Georgia hsshad placed at her disposal four
large and valuable bodies of land, which now
sustain near one half of her whole popula
tion i Tiiese lands have been distributed
amongst her people by a system of Chance,
and whatever may have been the benefits
accruing to individuals,save in the increase
of her population, the state has derived no
■ubstantial nor permanent advantage. By
a late treaty with the Creek Indians, ano
ther portion of territory has been obtained
government, and a consequent relief from
taxation. Wo speak not of the incronse in
value of real estate, and of personal labor,
the sum of which would very far oxeced rhe
whole amount invested in internal improve,
ments. The facilities that would be afford
ed to our citixcns by carrying commcrM to
their very doors, increasing the demands for
some, and creating them for other produc
tions of the soil now comparatively valueless,
would far, very far surpass their individu
als interests in the Lottery System. The
bacon, flour, corn, die. now imported into
thia state for home consumption, amount
ingannually to many hundred thousand dol
lars, would then be supplied by our own
citizens of the North West, and who now
have po outlet fur those articles.
There is nothing exaggerated in thin view
of the advantages which would result from
such an application of the public domain—
Our conclusions are drawn from the expo,
rience of other states and countries. Pub
lic improvements oft his character elsewhere,
arc for the most part dependent upuu the
resources of the people by a system oftaxa
tion. This state has already ample means,
which if properly appliod, will in addition to
the other benefits relieve us from taxation.
How enviable are the advantages of our
State I How imperious upon us the duty of
ilBingthem judiciously!
With these views, fellow-citizens, of onr
resources, their applicatinn, and the advan
tages derivable from their proper use, brief
ly and frankly submitted to your considera
tion, we request you to meet together, pa
tiently and candidly to examine the subject

The polilicul intelligence by these arri

The Petersburg Journal ofthe 1st March,
noticing the conferences between Mr. Strat
ford Canning and the Russian government,
remarks unofficially as mutter of opinion-
that “ the Emperor, in concert with iiis al
lies, will not consent to the independence of
the Greeks, except on comlitition of their
recognising a Prince given ilium by the
Allied Powers, and under a constitution
formed by t hemselves ; but then it is affirm
ed that the English Cabinet is of a diffeieut
opinion.”

Letters from the. East Indies of {Septem

A letter from Boineuy of the 1st Novem
ber, 1824, says—“ The crops of cotton at
llawnaghur, Porbutider, Mangroie, and all
the districts near Cutch, are entirely lost;
they had no rains at ail there, und people
arc coming daily from thence ill search of
food. Surut, Broach, and JauibooMier, it is
stated,will produce about half the usual crop,
or 25 000 bales.und now common old broncit
cotton, sells here at 102 rupees per candy.”
An Egyptian Trading Company is about
to be formed in England.
It is said in one ofthe letters- from Paris
bv the last French Mail, that at the lust
dabinet Council, the Duke, of Angoulemo
proposed for the adoption of tho govern*
ruent, a line of conduct similar to tiint of
Mr. Huskiwson, in the repeal or modifica
tion oi the import duties, but that this pro
position wus overruled by M. De Villein, on
the ground that the tiuauciol slate of
France would not admit of it.
In the British House of Commons, the
West India Company Bill was read a sec
ond lime, after a slight opposition. A coni
mittec had been appointed, on the motion
of Mr. Iiuskisson, to inquire into the effect
of the repeal of the comuiuution laws.—
160.080 ounces of silver, aud 00.000 ounces
of gold, had been shipped lor Jamaica. Ac
counts from Alexandria state that the Inst
year’s cotton crop m Egy»-t was 200.0J0

were to lie established to convey merchan
dize, &c. from Constantinople, Smyrna,
und Messina to Leghorn, where it is' pro
posed to trails ship tlm former into the ves
sels of the Mediterranean steam packet
company. The paper makers in England
had added 7} percent to the price
disposal of their lands—with these, they
have been made acquainted by interested
white men among them, and tueir ctfoct on
the iniudM of a huif-civilizcd race, might
have been anticipated to be bloodshed and
robbery. The specious cant of philanthro
py has been adopted for tho worst purposes
—the Creeks have been represented us
victims to tho cupidity of the whites—anu
the fulfilment ofa solemn compuci between
the United States and the state of Georgia,
lias been repics nted as un act of oppression
and injustice of tho most ilngaruut charac
ter. We do not mean to enter into a dis
cussion ofthe merits of the removal of the
Creeks. They have been paid u fair con-
sidnr&tion for thoir lamia—t here is no dif
ference between their removal and that of
all the Indians within the boundaries ofthe
Union, which has been recommended from
the purest motives, by our lute President,
and with a single view to their benefit—
the Florida Indians have been removed
and left to starve, and no pen has been vo
lunteered in their behalf. The Creeks up-
pear to have monopolized all the lender
toelmgs, and Georgia all the vitupurutioii
ofthe philanthropists ofthe day. Noiio of

the prevalence of east winds has no doubt

if any material decline were to take place,
