TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30.
In our columns to-day, will be tlmnd
another letter from General Gaines to tho
Governor of Georoia, end a summary of
testimony, which goes to shew the respect
able character of the evidence, upon which
the General, in his former lptter, ventured
to assert that no consent hod been given by
the friendly Crcoks, tor the survey of the
lamia. If the other assertions of the Gen
eral have no better foundation than this, it
will be wisdom iu him to maintain the same
silence which he maintains at the present
time, on the subject of the certificate of
Marshall and Edwards.
A more puerile production, than the let
ter from the General, to the Governor,
which we also publish to day, has seldom
come before us. Its illustrations and al
lusions are in the worst possiblo tnBte; and
the whole composition, vapid and pointless
in the extreme. Affecting t deal ol dignity
and severity, the General has fallen into
the opposite extremes. It is evident that
the sword of the General is his proper
implement, not the pen—and a controversy
of the kind, in which lie has engaged, is
the worst possible field for the display of
his talents. The General should be grate
ful to the Governor for the suspension of a
correspondence, in which he has shown to
go little advantage.
The Milledgeville Recorder states that it
jg not the intention of Gov. Troup to order
the eurvey of the Creek lands before the
next session of Congress. It will be recol
lected. that the Governor has already inti
mated, in his communication to the Presi
dent, his intention to defer the running ol
the line till the meeting of the Legislature
of Alabama, in accordance with the wishes
of that state, a part of the lino being be
tween that state and the state of Georgia.

on St- Helena and in that neighbor

COURT MARTIAL.

The Court met this morning at 10 o’clock
—there was no cross examination ol Limit.
Hunter ; ho made an explanation respecting
some horses on bonrd the Franklin.
Lieut. Henry was called by the Judge
Advocate—and the examination was closed
on the part of the prosecution at 3 o’clock.
Lt. Henry had command of the schooners
built for despatch boats, and manned from
the Franklin ; he also commanded some of
the boats employed in bringing specie, bul
lion, <fcc. from the shore nn board that ves
sel. His testimony was directed chinfiy to
the manner in which these schooners were
built, equipped, and employed ; on all which
points it bore a favorable aspect Inwards the
accused. The bullion &c. brought on
board the Franklin was the property of
Capt. Smith and Captain O’Sullivan ; and.
in one case a Spanish Deputy Governor
was present, when it wus bought from the
interior and embarked in the boats. He
introduced aud read letters of instruction
from Commodore Stewart for most of his
movement.'—by one of which, an American
vessel was recaptured from a Spanish brig
of piratical character.
The Court ndjourm d to 10 o’clock to
morrow morning.
Cen. Gaines lias officially stated, that the
Treaty-making party constitutes only about
oneji/iieth part of the Creek Nation. Iftliis
be the relative strength of the parlies now,
which we do not believe, it was very differ

expressions like others contained in some of
your previous letters (but ot which 1 took no
notice) wherein you speak of my using tile

Hut the worst feature in this business is
yet to be told. If uppeurs that about the

hy Miijnr Joel Haley, » respectable citizen
of the State, tlmt tins nmn Marslmll had

Edwards, being one of the lowest of man

sincu this information and lie permits the
impression his letter nud their certificate
made on the public mind to remain there.
Even in this paper we publish another let-

of Joseph Marshall and a Mr. Edwards,

Letters from Liverpool state that Cotton

quantities of forged Bills ol Exchange
drawn on Manchester, and negocinted at
Liverpool. It is said the forgers have esca

The Cotton market at Havre had decli

The Paris papers of July 14, announce,in

signal victory had been gained by the
Greeks over three divisions uf tho Turkish
Army, who had advanced upon tho Penin

of Salonc, and the third, after having been
beaten, had dispersed and fled towards Nc-

that, for the purpose of rendering afur equi.
vulcnlfor the losses and inconveniences which

enable them to obtain supplies iu their new

to the Nation, emigrating from the lands

will be paid to the Nation at largo, in tho
manner they receive their stiponos—to tho
hostile Indians of Alabama as well as to the

to remain on their lands, without suffering
the slightest privation or inconvenience, are
to share the purchase money for improve

notwithstanding the opposition ofthe sumo
party, which is now principally in array a-
gainst state rights. Tlie Democracy of
the country, although a difference of opini
on may exist ns lo the precise mode of urg
ing our claims, is with us—at least, it has
about the 6th April, when Marsh ill snid not joined in tho hue and cry of the serviles
that a council wns tu be held at McIntosh’s ^ # y will not condemn without n
to determine whether the Indians would
give their consent to the sui vev—that ho
could tint go buck, but had authorised Mc
Intosh to sign for him, for Im was willing
to have the survey made. At that Council
there were present from Georgia, Maj.
Baley, ot Monroe county, Gen. Ware of
Fayette county, William Bowen of Mil*
ledgeville, Sanders Walker ofMonticello,
Mark and Win. Hudspeth of De. Kalb,
Major Vaughn und some others from Fa
yette and Dc Kalb counties, their names
not recollected.

at Gen. M'lntnsh’s in April last when a
council was held by the friendly Chiefs,
to decide on the application ofthe Govern

and there give its consent to the survey

fair hearing—it will sup|iort in tlie asser
tion of tlioir just rights, those who have ever
maintained the Bumc principles, those who
now profess their willingness to sacrifice
their all for them.
Many, very many honest men, we know
there are, who have not understood our pe
culiar situation, and the causes of com
plaint which exist on our part, who have
been led into opposition to us and our cause,
by the misrepresentations of the designing,
and by tho affected patriotism of the sup
porters of an administration with which we
have come in contact. We beg them to
suspend their judgment until they fully un
derstand the circninataucus ofthe case, and
we pledge ourselves to acquisce in their
honest verdict- But from the enemies of
democracy, anil of course of a state in
which, attachment to its principles has been
the first article of the political faith of those
who have SBked from her political distinc
tions of any character, we expect not, and

of exclusive patriotism and devotion tothe

country under every aspect of its affairs, in
the midst of suffering and privation of eve
ry description, in the worst of times, rhe
majority of our adversaries have never
soperted it further than when it was cun-
dur.ive to their interests. When the pro-
sure was felt, their patriotism cooled—uni
when disappointed in their objects, or wliti
tlie necessary measures of tlie General (i»

wns not considered so sacred, as it suits die
interest of irinuy among I hem to consider .1
nj-w, in their prosperity und dominion, it
is not my design to give such a history, but
I shall cite a few instances in support of my
assertion.
The opposition ofthe Eastern and K".<

originate on tile election of Jcfibrsnii, ro-
coived a considerable addition la ib
strength. Ho was a democrat ami firm i
slave holding state, which were sulfa!
causes of enmity. Tin: following letter i
Jos. A. Bayard, written iiiinierliate'-y afil
the election of Jefferson, iu IIIOI, shews ms
respect entertained for tho Union it dial

Washington, 17(4 February, IWM-.
Dear Sir—Mr. Jefferson is our Frosi-
dent—our opposition was continued initial
was demonstrated that Burr could nut Is
brought in, nnd even if he could, lie ineset
to come in ns a Democrat.
In such case, to evidence his sinenrilp
he must have swept every office in tlie J
Stales. 1 have direct information that Jk
Jeffbrenn will not pursue tiiat plan, ta
New-England Gentlemen came out und d*
dared they meant To no without a consti
tution and take the risk of a CIVIL
WAR. They agreed tiiat those who wm'
not agree to incur such nn extremi'v. ourht
to recede without loss of time. We prod
ed them to go with us and preserve unity ”
our measures.
After great agitation and murh beat,«
agreed but imc. But, in consequencew»*
standing out, the others refused to abandon
their their old ground. Mr. Jeff-rsan o">

vote, by means of Morris wilhdrsa'iny-j"
