Tub Creeks.—A talk was to be held a bout the SOthinst. with the friendly Indians 1 ut the Indian Spring*. Gen. GaineB and Major Andrews were to attend. On Satur day last a talk was to have been held witii the hostiles at the Agency which would also bo attended by the U. S. Commissioners, Messrs. Campbell and Meriwethor. Gon. Gaines, says the Georgia Journal, is pro, cceding promptly in the discharge of the dutius of his missiun. From his known prudence and firmness we have every rea son to expect that tho unhappy differences which have of late existed among the In- diaus will be speedily adjusted. The Governor of tlie State of Georgia, as Commander-in-Chief, in compliance with AvoTHra PATjudr Vir jonv.—A letter from Kingston, of May II, announces tho total defoat of Olankta by General Suchk in Peru, Ocaxsta and nno of his aids alone escaping. This nows came by a gentle- mam who left Lima on tho 14th of March. Callao still holdout, tho Royal Gonoral Ko- flattering himself that (A.anbta might succeed. II was thought, howevor, that learning his defeat, Ronri. would re tire on hoard tho French squadron off Cal lao, and leave the garrisou to its fate.— Fourteen patriot ships were blockading Cal lao, and had the best understanding with the American and British squadrons. It was reported at Pernambuco on the tilth ult. that Callao had surrendered to Gen. Boi.ivar. Tho frigate launched at Washington, is named the Brandywine, and not the Sus quehanna, as first stated. She is thus nam ed in compliment to the Guest of the nation, and is to be immediately fitted out for bis conveyance to France. The President of the United StntcB, and a num ber of distinguished individuals were on board at the time of her launching. Mexican papers, by tho Bordeaux, in form U6 that tho Congrdb's had abolished all titles of nobility. The power of the priests too, it is stated, was iu a fair way of being put down.

In conscqueucc of lnrge arriv als of Cotton, the article had bccume ra ther, dull but no diminution of consequence had taken place in the price. Tho Catholic relief bill was carried up to the House of Lords on the 11th—Upon the motion of the Earl of Donmighmore, it was read the first time, and ordered to be printed, with the intention to be read the eocond time on the following Tuesday. The Courier observes, that “ the 18th of May 1825, may be a memorable day in the an nals of England." The report of the speedy dissolution of Parliament, is again contradicted in the London papers. The Warehoused Corn bill had passed the House of Commons. A proposition to increase the judges’ sala ries, had been sanctioned by the king, and was about to be laid before parliament. Two thousand pounds sterling had been voted to Mr. M’Adatn, for his improvement in road making. By an official dispatch of Conduriottis, President of the Executive Body, it appears that accounts had reached him of the land ing of 10.000 troops at Modon, (ns before stated) who had been defeated—a body of 3000 Egyptians was surrounded, and it was thought they all perished or were taken prisoners. The Greek fleet had sailed in pur suit of the Egyptian fleet which had landed the troops at Modon. M. Villile, in the Chamber of Deputies, during the discussion of the Budget, has jj// 4i f runl Columbia in South- Carolina.

It is a pastoral let ter, by which the Archbishop establishes an Apostolic Junta, consisting of three priests of the order ot St. Dominick, “to proceed to the investigation and canonical punishment of all those transgressions which were formerly in the resort of the Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition." The publication of this piece has excited the most lively sensation in Catalonia, and cannot fail to cause new troubles in the Peninsula. The treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and tho government of Buenos Ayres, has received tho ratification of the British Government. The merchants of London who have claims on Spain for spoliations, look with interest to the departure of the new Am bassador to the Court of Madrid. It is be lieved that tho matter will come to an im mediate issue, as tho treaty between Eng land and Spain if 1 imperative. As Spain has no money to pay individuals, some suppose that reprisals will be ordered. Tliore aro now building in Now-York, seven frigates and 64 g n ships, and two large corvottus. At Buffalo, (N. Y.) General Lafayette was gratified by an interview with the noted Seneca Chief, Red Jacket. At the cele brated Indian treaty, held in the year’84, (at Fort Schuyler, now the village of Rome in the couuty of Oneida) the characteristic observation of the native had marked the youthful and gallant Marquis Lafayette and the ravages of forty years, aided by wounds, disease, and the pestilential vnpors of the dungeon of Olimitz, did not prevent iris recognising the Marquis in our Nation’s Guest. But it is more remarkable that the youthful orator of the Seneca Nation was stiil freslt in tho General’s recollection.— Learning that Red Jacket was present at this treaty, he enquired what had become of the young Seneca, who on that occasion so eloquently opposed the burial of the to- mahawk. The son of the Forest replied, in tho peculiar phraseology of his nalivo tongue—“ He has the honor to stand be fore you !” The President of the United States, puss- ed through New-York on the 14th inst. on his way to Boston, to ussist in the ceremo nies at Bunker Hill. “Officious I«rrr.HMEnnr.ixo.”-In relation tuthe folluwiujf article the Southern Re corder, from which wo copy it, after remark ing on the conduct of a few in this stato. continues, “ We now turn our attention to another quarter...to writings industriously circulated in the ncwspnpe s and in hand any fixed principles of action and a ready' tuol for those who have wealth and influ ence.

It is always a matter of sur prise, to see an indivduu) who is not remark able for humane or generous feelings, or political fame, taking an active part, and that all of a sudden, in support of doctrines which have ever been at war with his Bets.

Previous to the pieces alluded to appearing in the pa pers of this place, they were published iu hand-bills and sent all over the country—to tho President and others. Never have I seen as much zeal and industry exercised in any causo, by any set of men, as lias been in this by II and C . Half of it, exerted by one of them during the late war, would have secured Canada to the A- nierican Arms! However they socm to la bor in vain; no one else taking any part with them. They assume different signa tures ; but all will not do. They ate by themselves. They may continue to write and publish, but it will not be regarded ei ther by the people of this State or those of Georgia. “ ll was to have left here yesterday fur New-York.

In the month of May preceding tho ap pointment of the Commissioners, a meeting had been held by the hostile Chiefs at Tuc- cabatchee to resist the views of the United States. Tlie result of their meeting was by the Bub-Agent reduced into a kind of writ ten manifesto, declaring that they would not dispose of their lands. These transac tions were notorious in the Nation, hut tlie Agent made no intimation of them either to his Government or to its Commissioners— When ill July 1824, the Nation or a part of it had assembled at Broken Arrow to re ceive their annuity, a Council was convo ked, at which the Agent wns present, but retired with all other white permiB except his sub-Ageut and Hambly his Interpreter, that the former of thoso anight, road a long communication from tho Cherokees, exhor ting the Creeks not to dispose of a foot of their territory. Of Ibis the Agent gave no intimation,of which your committee are ap prised—nor was any notice taken Ufa third meeting in November at the Pole-Cat Spring (consisting wholly or principally of the Rod-sticks oflhclntc worjalthough the meeting was at the house of the aub-Agont who again acted as Secretary, and publish ed the proceedings. These proceedings amounted to a redewed declaration, that no lauds should be sold. During all this peri od,and previously from the fall of 1823. the committee has no doubt nfthere having been on fuot an active, continued and steady system o measures throughout that country by the emissaries of the Agent, in concert wjtli the hostile Indians to forestall and de feat the views of the United States’ Gov-, ernment: and in doing so, to sacrifice the interests of Georgia, and even the safety and welfare of the Indians themselves— The constant and intimate intcrconrso that must we suppose, necessarily exist between the Agent and his sub-Agent, predisposes REPORT Of the Committee on the Stale of the Repub lie lo whom teas referred the subjects if the conduct of the Agent of the Creelc Indian Affairs, in relation to the late Treaty with that Nation; and also in relation to the murder of Gen.

The Joint Committee on the State of the Republic to whom were referred the subjects of tlie conduct of the Agent of Creek Indian Affairs, in relation to the late Treaty with that Nation, and also in respect to the mur der of Gen.

And allow me to say, that the motive alone by .which I am gov erned (which I trust is a good one) could warrant this step, or excuse me iu tho eye of the world.

But this s known to you already. You have no doubt seen or hoard oftwo pieces which very recently appeared in the papers of this place, one over the signature of JUSTICE, the other X. Y. Z. tho latter somewhat elaborate. Without saying word as to tho merits of cither of tiiusq pieces, I will proceed to give you ail idea, aa to the source from whence they came.— And I am confident Liuit I an not mistaken, altho’ 1 havo no positive proof of the fact. Both tho pieces were written by tho same hand, tho’ at the instance of another. It is unnecessary that I should give you the evi dence which I have of tlie fact—To the point—T. C. wrote both of those coinmu nications, at the instance and direction of a person, who was recently at Millodgevillc, I mean W II . C , though a man of learning, is perhaps, one of thi assumed, it was superadding duplicity lo crime. It appears that these facts, or most evidence which has been belore the 1 resi-. u j- then), were in due time made known to dent; because it is so supported and strength- lhe G ovt . rnnlcnl _ a removal of the sub-A- ened by wliat has been since disclosed, that j t was all t | )e relnody t]lat was applied- .ts own weight is greatly enhanced; its char-: j- Iisp | acu was s00n U || ei f ( aud itisuuderstood acter is in a considerable measure changed,! #l tho i natancf , 0 fthe Ascntjhv tl.e present and in its turn it tends greatly to illustrate incumbl . nt , w l.o had already earned the tlie In ter. On the same principle, your Ao 0n ti s confidence by a similarity nf views committee have of course received some and particularly by an opposition sufficient- evidence which is not now in puint, and therefore has been allowed no weight in their deliberations. This may or may not be rendered applicable by evidence hereafter to be obtained ; and will of consequence he used, or rejected, accordingly in the fi lial investigation. That the Agent did not assist the United States’ Commissioners at tho first negocia- tions at Broken Arrow in December lost, or even co-operare with them, is confessed by himself. The only apology we have heard offered for that conduct, was his ig norance—that he supposed he had nothing to do in the matter, but merely to assemble the Chiefs and to attend to the rations.*- Noiv we deem it not too much to assume that a man of the intelligence mid sagacity of the Agent, who had been live years in the office, did well know, what the late Sec retary of War condescended to tell him that “ the paramount duly which ha owed to the Government obligated him on all oc- cations, to give his hearty co-operation in effecting its views.” And we further pre sume him to have been ablo to apprehend, that tho acquisition of territory was tlie ob ject the Government had in view in holding the Treaty. But lie was moreover express ly and repeatedly informed of those views, and of his duty in relation to them. The Secretary of\Var on the 16th of July, 1824, in announcing to the Commissioners their recent appointment, instructed them among other things—First, that it was “the desire of the government, that the feelings and wishes of the Btate of Georgia should be particularly attended to,” and the location' nnd extent of the territory to be treated for, is therefore left at their discretion—Ami se condly, that tho Agent was instructed to o- bey their orders mt all points connected with the proposed treaty. Of this instruc tion the Agent acknowledges to the Secre tary of War that he had a copy. Early in August, the Commissioners informed the Agent that they were instructed to corres pond with him respecting the treaty, and expressed their pleasure In the prospect of a tree discussion of all matters connected with the subject. And on the 5lh of September, they again addressed him, informing him of tho great concern felt for the negociatinn, and specially directed him “ to jtrepare the - - . -j. MtHonfor the issue desired.” The public moBt inconsistent mail livingr'destiflilo of ^ interests were indeed confided to bis charge, the Nation, and witnessed among others by the Agent himself, and in hie official ca pacity. It is well known that on the next day he denounced to his government, the Commissioners and the Treaty; the former as having transcended their instructions, and the latter as being a nullity for the want of the signatures oflhosc very Chiefs who had thus been sent away. And it is equal ly notorious, that he followed on to Wash ing himself at the heels of his protest, for the avowed purpose of preventing the rati fication of the Treaty. By those two acts above, lie stands recorded in this dileinma. He has either officially sanctioned a pretend ed Treaty Which is all a lie, or he Ims en deavored to defeat one that was legal in its form, and which in its substance provided for objects that he had previously acknow ledged to be just and.lipnevnlcnt. The motive of the Agent for such an ob- stiunto opposition to the acquirement of territory by Georgia, within this year and llic last, is believed to bo almost universally understood in Ills community. In the evi dence, the committee find traces of it in the occasional insinuations, more or less dis tinct,of the confidential associates of the A- gent. It is to bo seen they think, in tho whole course of Walker’s conduct while ho was sub-Agent; in that of Triplett before he was sub-Agent. as proved by the testi mony of Branard, and sinco he has been iu in that office, as stated by twenty-four of the Chiefs and Italians at Newnan ; in the violent declarations of Henry Crowell, who trades iu tho Nation under licence of his brother the Agent, as proved by Col.James Blair, ami Harris Allen. Esq., as well as in the language held by Humbly lliu Inter preter. to Col. Williamson. But as we have iu this case I lie avowal of the Agent himself, we should not advert to these acts or sayings of his subalterns, hut for this pur pose;—That if an unity of purpose and con cert in action between him and them, should be here satisfactorily made out, he ought to be uffected by their sayings nnd doings, iu instances where has hue kept himself out of view. Otherwise it is plain, that he ought not to be prejudged by any thing that they may huve said or done, His own avowal, above alluded to, is fouiid in the disclosures of the Commis sioners in their recent examination. He had, it seems, during the administration of the preceding Governor, zealously bestirred himself, and had in fact obtained the con sent of the Indinns to a cession of a part of their territory. He did not then labor under any of those “ misconceptions of his duty," which are so indulgently imputed to him iu the letter from the late Secretary of War. But the Executive administration of this State having passed into hands that he did not approve, his maxims of office were suddenly changed—Ho instantly re- solved'to use the influence which his of fice gave him in preventing the present ad ministration from being in ally way con cerned in, or indeed cotempotury with so important a service. He “ Imd prepared the Indians" he said, “to cede a part of their lands”—he “ had the matter fixed” for a cession ofthe lands, it was understood below the Federal Rond—“ Distinctly, in timating, however,” (says Major Meriwe ther, in which he is corroborated by Col. Campbell,) “that as Troup had been elected Governor, he must not expect success to attend any application which might be made to the Indians, while he (Troup) was in office." Anticipating probably that repeat ed failures would effect a change in the politics ofthe State, and bring into the Ex ecutive chair at the next election, a man of his own choice ; lie intended doubtless in that event to be more propitious. Ac cordingly we find it intimated to tlie Chiefs who were sent away from tho Goaty at Broken Arrow, that they were to meet there again in a few months. And in his protest against the Treaty, he states to the late Secretary of War his ,bo- lief, that “aI no distant day,” a Treaty could he made to the entire satisfaction of the government. Your committee offer no comment on this ! They trust thure can be but ono sentiment on this subject from the foregoing very rapid view ot tlie case if it is a fair one, and we believe it is. Of this, however, a judgment may be formed from the evidence itself. That part of it which the Committee have collected, is herewith reported, so that the whole of it is before the house. Your committee allow no weight (for certainly nose ought to lie allowed) to any evidence that is not yet brought home, at least by fair presumption, to the Agent. Those numerous collateral circumstances that are scattered through it will be taken, it is hoped, at their truo weight, and no more ; recollecting on the one hand that they generally tend to corro borate and support what they do not dis tinctly prove ; and on theothcr,hnnd, that such of it as has been collected by tlie committee is neuessarily enparle, aud that it cannot be now known now much of it tho Agent may be able to controvert or ex plain. Taking the evidence collected by tho ootnmittee with these eautions and deduc tions, can however hardly tend to impair Stai, .. iRnnS n f A 1. • u ! U. _ _ If * iv violent to any present cessions of ter ritory. His predecessor doubtless remain- ed there to continue his machinations in se cret ; so that the only effect of the measure, however well intended, is to add one more to the number ofthose petty tyrants who oppress and harrnss the Nation, or that part of it who have lavished their blood for tho American people. On receiving the renewed and still more peremptory' orders of his government, the Agent was compelled apparently to co-ope rate with the Commissioners at the second treaty. But in his talk to the Indians, it is curious to observe with wliat art he keeps within the letter, and out ofthe spirit of his instructions. He had acknowledged to Mnj. Meriwether, that the proposal for their Removal beyond tlie Mississippi would, if Seceded to, bo highly to their advantage ; "that " they would be fools if they did not accept it." But. when addressing the Indi ans. lie draws himself carefully within tfie shclhifhis instructions, and nothing ap pears but wliat ia rigidly official.' “ He is instructed, he says “ by the War Depart ment to tell them so and so." That “wliat the Commissioners had told them was all tlie talk of tho President." That “ the President wished them to sell their land and go beyond the Mississippi." That “ it was his wish also, becauso.it was the President’s wish”—And that “ if lie was continued Agent, he wouldgowith them and be their friend." Perhaps it was impossi ble for hinnnn ingenuity to have suggested to the imaginations nf that assembly a grea ter curse than his friendship, or a stronger argument against removal, than the pros pect ol'being accompanied by him. When however, nothing could stem the current; when nothing that could bo said or done in the Council or out of it could prevent that consummation, so devoutly dreaded, and all, nr nearly all the Chiefs had agreed to sign the treaty on tho next day, and that instrument was actually preparing, no time was indeed to be lost—at that critical in-1 the effect of the residue.

Tbi'.-e are imposing facts—but your cotmni'.nt would again remark that the evidence be ing. exparlc should be received with much ullowunco. On the whole, your does not see in the evidence sufficient proof to justify them in presuming, that the dgral ordered, contriv. d or instigated the murder of McIntosh ; but until the contrnrv shall be made to appear, they must fully believe t liat he knew of the approaching event, ami could have prevented it; and hence. 11 well as from the general tenor of the testi mony, they are compelled to infer, that it Imd ins approbation. Tlie Indians probably derived encouragement and confidcneefrom their beiieil of the Agent’s approbstimi, which they would naturally infer from hit silence nnd inactivity. It is believed that if the Agent had been removed from office last January, Gcneial McIntosh would ban now boon in life.

Wo submit the import ofthe whole lo be, tlm’ it was said by the hostiles, and we b< have by the Agent himself, that the Chiefs were killed in pursuance ofa law which they pre tended was made at the Pole Cat Spring; aud which they resolved to put in ex, outinl on hearing of the ratification of the treaty. Tlie total effect that should be ulleivrd to all the evidence must, und will of course be estimated variously.
