I. *-nT-mr-a i i ■ i it r — — Out absent friends will be gratified to see by the report oftlio Board of Health, which we publish this day, that our city continues lo enjoy an unusual degree of hqattli. Du ring the past month, but eleven deaths ltuvo occurred, and only three of that number of fever. We state confidoittly. that Savan nah is, at the present time, ns healthy, per haps moro so, than any Atlantic city in the Union. Shipwrfck.—Wo regret to learn the loss of the packet ship William Wallace, Cap tain Joy, which sailed from this port for N. York, on the 15th nit. We understand by a letter from one of the passengers with which we have been favored, tb it she went abuuic duuut vtuvcii it biuoh, -I- a*., ..r^ni of the 20th ult. at Great Egg Harbor. Her masts and spars were,i named iateiy cut away 1-auil she remained together, but bilged and filled on the morning of the 21st. The situation of the passengers for some time, is tepresented to have been very distressing, •xpccling to he washed overboard every “moment. The passengera and crew, how- over, with their baggage, were saved, and the tormer had arrived in Philndnlphi The cargo, consisting of Cotton and Rice, which with the ex n ption of some of the Cotton, will, it is supposed, be lost with the vessel. The Crops.—A letter from Beaufort in the Charleston papers, states that The Cot ton plants in many places ore literally de prived of their fruit, added to which, the Caterpillar had commenced its destructive ravages. We regret to add that a letter from St. Mary’s mw before us, dated on the 27th Wit. notices the ravages of tile same destruc tive insect. We extract from it the follow ing—“ We have had continued and heavy tains for some time past ; in 'consequence of which, the Caterpillar is destroying the crops of cotton in succession—many of the crops in Florida are totally destroyed — They are now sweeping Mr. 's planta tion. Another field in the neighborhood is full of them ; and twenty acres belonging to another individual have been destroyed. They are rapidly progressing." By the Florida, at New-York, from Rio Janeiro, we learn that much consternation was produced at that place when it was known that Lord Cochrano hud departed from Brazil in the Piranga frigate—it being understood that he went off without lenvo of the Emperor, carrying with him all the money he had levied on the people at Per nambuco, Matanham, &c and other prop erly to a lorge amount. Admiral Jewett, who was suspected of being an accessary to this project, had since been arrrested. The last London papers state that the Piranga was repairing at Spithcad, for the piirpos*sff returning to Rio, but it was not expected Ld. Cochrsue would return in her. The seamen had been paid off, with liberty to continue in the service-or not. Later from Europe —By the arrival at New-York, of the ship Pacific, Liverpool gapers to the 17th of July, are received. Tlte Liverpool Cotton Market, had begun to revive, but in consequence of immense importations, the, last few days, but few sales could be made at the prices asked.— The arrivals in one day from the United States, were 21,000 bules, and from the Brazils 0000—in all 30.000 bales. Upland 10d. a Md; Sea-Island 2s 2d a 2s 6d. The Liverpool papers of the 16th, state that, " the news of the woek has furnished various and contrary accounts respecting the war in Greece. Tlte fall of Nuvarino, is now certain ; hut new success, if the re ports may be trusted, has attended the Greek Naval Force : upon the whole, wc are led to anticipate a favorable termina tion for the Greek cause to the campaign. It lias been said, but subsequently contra dicted, that in consequence of the surrender of Navarino, the Government of Napoli had been induced to pardon Cnlocotroni, and even to entrust him aHew witli an important command. This we say, has been again contradicted. It is affirmed from Odessa, June 13, that tecounts just received from Constantinople, pf the date of the 7th of the month, state that the Captain Pacha hail been attacked on the 27th of May, near Mytelcnc, by Ad miral Pacluury; but had, notwithstanding, continued bis voyage with inconsiderable loss to the neighborhood of Zea. On the 20th of May, Sachtury again attacked him between Zea and Capo d’Oro, destroyed his frigates and one brig, besides twenty small er veaaels, which were partly taken and partly sunk. After this disastrous affairs the-Captain Pacha fled back again towards health. There had been an increase of the reve nue arising from the ordinary sourcos, Bl.713.60l, over tlio Inst year. The last advices from Egypt, stated that the locusts were making frightful ravages in that country. } It is said that Lord Cochrane intends to proceed to the assistance of the Greeks. | A north east storm was experienced in New-York, accompanied with rnin, on the 17th ult. which lasted till the 22d.

We publish to-day some further documents from Georgia, which st'e interes ing as they show distinctly the course which the Evecti- tive ofthe United States intends to pursUe in regard to the Creek treaty, until Congress shall have had an opportunity of expressing ifs opinion on the mutter in dispute betwt en the authorities of Georgia and those of the Union. The only real question in which the state of Georgia was concerned, in all tin heatod discussions wh : ch have grown out of the Creek treaty, was one of very limited scope. As to the means bv which the treaty was brought about, whether fiiv nr otherwise, Georgia had nothing to do with them. The treaty was formed by 'Commissioners of the United States, appointed by the President und Senate. When it was brought on for ratification Colonel Crowell, its oppnser, was here, also to allege all lie knew against its legality; yet the resident laid the treaty be. fore the Senate, and the Senate deliberately sanctioned it. The treaty vested in the state of Georgia the Indian lands within her limits, reserving to the Indians the right of occu pancy until September. 1826—that if, it slip- ula ed that they should not be called upon to remove before that period. Georgia, wism- ingtotake possession ofthe land for the be nefit of her citizens. as soon as the Indians shall have removed, as a preparatory measure, desires to survey it and run the lines of 'he subdivisions which her mode of disposing of her pub ic land renders necessary. This the A !uUul»u (♦'irmirip ,t WillJJOflCIIC pUl’t of the Creek nation) oppose, on the ground that the treaty was not the act of the nation but of a minority of it. The simple question then for Georgia to consider was—not the validity ofthe treaty but—whether the right of occupancy reserved to the Indians pruhi- l> ted an entry upon the land for the purpose of surveying it, without their consent. We are of opinioh that this was a question for the parties who made the treat) to settle—not a third party, which however much interested in the decision could not rightfully put an arbitrary constinotion on a stipulation which other- had made, and were hound to fulfil — different view of i our strong disapprobation.) enn affect tho rights of tho statu, nor deprive her of the courtesy due to hor If her agents have qoen guilty of fraud* lot them he forrottod out, and expoaei\.~ Richmond Enquirer, command tho respect of intelligent and lion- ornble men.

That the misfortune which happened to them of thinking as we did on a late important election, and of committing another slight, aberration lins not been en tirely forgotten. Perhaps both these rea sons have had their influence. That the hist has had its share in awakening a dor* mant feeling is apparent from the following remark near the beginning of .Tustida’s piece; “l shall studiously guard against any very formal enquiry into tho origin nf the impulsn which produced it w —meaning the commendation and republication of our article. Until Jnstitia can convince ns thnt apart is equal to the whole, we shall continue to think that Georgia has not received what she contracted Tor in 1802. Altho’ he has received large bodies of land in consequence of the cessions procured under the u*iree mnnt with the U. S. yet the annoyance of the iiidiausexisted and the finol execution ofthe contract had not taken place The successful efforts ofthe U S. are a protec tion as far as thev go. against the charge of being faithless. Sfrill tho historical fact, ex is<0 that Georgia has been dissatisfied wi»h those efforts, and the success that, attended them. As one ofthe parties to th? contract if she thought its execution had been too long postponed, she had a right to complain without being called seditious. She sold to the U. jyth#whole ofthe States of Alnba mn onlWlississipni, in consideration of one and a quarter millions of dollars, tho pnv- ment aMe Ynzoo claims and the extinguish ment™ the Indian titles within her presen: territorial limits. Whv talk about the sums of money the IJ. S. have paid on account of this contract ? If’these payments ore to be held up to public view, in a controversy with which they have nothing to do, why not scorch the public records and t«ll the public how many millions the IT. S. have recei vodfiM itic land.-1i»F*y g”f from Georgia and have sold in Alabama and Mississippi ? Jus* fit.in would designedly keep statement out of view, and yet chargo us with want of candour ! We ran assure that writer that, no man in this Union, is less disposed than we are. “ to inflame the alromlv excited feelings nf our fellow citizens of Georgia . w If his soli citude on this subject bn sincere w« rer.orn- nieml that, his next efforts be, to arrest the torrent of shameful abuse, which the press, in every state ofthe Union, is so hoedles-dy pouring out upon that state. Wo recoin* mend him to admonish the Agents the Presi- m is Georgia, hovevor took a mucn iu vmv m •,,.. . _ ., the question, and considered the opposition • ( ■ 1 Y 6 * 1 0 TROr P , # ?* IU .‘ P , nf tlie Indians, uml the h.teffm-nce of ilic I "" ,, '' ,omlent Ntate. and that whalnver the General Government, as equally interposiii; between her and her just rights. In main taining this opinion the Executive of the Sta e has been betrayed by bis feelings into a warmth of language which none can l eg et more than we have done, who know and res pect the private worth ofthe individua' who has used it. Ji should he remembered, how ever, that the tone assumed by this officer was used in defending what lie deemed the just rights of his state against attempted vio lation; and that his intemperance, if such we may call it, sprung fr in that quick sense of wrong which gave independence to these States which is the surest guarantee of the pu lie liberty, and which we hope never to see extinguished, even though it may some times break out into excess. Those, more over, who censure the Governor without qua lification, should know that in nothing that i.c has said has lie gone beyond the feeling of a great portion, if not a majority, of the people of the state. This fact we gather from the tone of the papers of the state, and from private information derived from disin terested observers who have passed through it. The national authority having now ex pressed its opinion in the matter, which, be ing charged with the execution ofthe treaty it was competent and right for it to interpose, and having decided that the survey* proposed by the authorities of Georgia, cannot legally he, and must not be, made in opposition to the wishes ofthe Indians, the state, it is to be hoped, wil acquiesce in the decision and ab stain from the attempt. • JYat, hit. GF.onr.fA ano the United States.—TIu* Into Milleilgeville papers arc filled with do cuments respecting the controversy about tlio Creek lands. The n most interesting u- immg them uro letters from the Secretary at War, and the letter of Gov. Troup decli fling any further ollicial intercourse with Gen. Gaines. In tho letter of the Secreta ry to the Governor, ho suys ; “ I am, there fore, directed by the President, to state distinctly to your Excellency that, for the present, hr. will not permit such eiPry or survey to bo made w In his orders to Gen. Gaines, the Secretary defines his duties in this respooct, in these words ; “ Should he (Gov. T.) persevere in sending persons to Hitrvey the lands embraced wit hin the Trea ty, you are hereby authorised to employ the military to prevent their entrance on the In dian territory, or if they should succeed in entering tlio country, to cause them to be artetted," die. In our historical sketch, so much complained of by the Government Journal, we snid “the General Government have either forbidden the surveys on tho grounds that tho treaty is itself fradulent, or that it confers no rights and creates no obligations whatever until Sept. 1826.”— This sentence is not only garbled and mis quoted by the Journal, but its correctness it i may may think of her constituted author itii.’S they are entitled to exemption From in- ult, if not to courtesy and respect.—EiP*rts like those on the port of such a writer will go farther to restore tranquility among the people of Georgia, than any notice he nnv please to take of the course of the editors of I his sheet. W<* love the Union, hut wo nra not less attached to the rights of tho states. Break down the latter; sink them into obedient corporations • teach them to obey the “ will” of a President, through fear of his willing bayonets, und wo may bid adieu to the hap py results we have heretofore enjoyed from the beautiful theory of our system. The Union will become a curse instead of a bles sing.—With tlio sword nnd the purse, and tho power to do whatever may he thought to conduce to the general welfare* the go vernment will soon become an oligarchy ; and the transition to monarchy will be easy. If wo know our own hearts, it is fears like these, arising from the increasing tone of superiority on the part of the government iind its ngents, and the continued nssuinp tion of power by Congress, rather than hos tility to men* that have for some time dicta ted our course as to the measures of the Federal Government. Neither our tran quility nor Union is to he preserved by tho bayonet. Moderation nnd justice ; kindness and concilintian ; mutual respect for the pe culiar situation, interests, feelings and pre judices of each other are the only cords by which the happy confederacy of these states is to he made permanent. With sen timents and feelings like these, wo deeply deplore the existing state of things between our common government and our sister state of Georgia. We know not what have been tho means adopted to soothe the dissatisfaction and to conciliate tho irritated feelings of that member of ilie Union. Say thnt 6he is in the wrong ; that she has had no just cause to complain of the U. S. respecting tho lands and the removal of the Indians ; that the U. S. ngents have not. intrigued in her local affairs, hor election, &u. that through hostility to her constituted authorities they have not intrigued with the Indians not to Mr. Adams* Agents, nnd their associ ates in misiAviof-making, cry nut thnt the Treaty was effected Uy treachery, intrigue and bribery. And by whom were these base arts practised? A ss, u*m!!y not by Messrs. Campbell and Meriwether, for their characters are far above such suspi cion—the one a brother-in-law of General Clark, and in all times of difficulty, his most able and efficient friend—the other a member of Congress, a pious man, and as honorable a one we venture to say as any in existence. By whom then was the intrigue and bribery practised? Not by or on the President and Senate of the IJ. States who approved of and ratified the Treaty. Fortunately for us there were no Commissioners or Agents on the part of Georgia, as in nor liny money taken out of the State-Treasury, as was then done, to “grease** the Indians, or the white men of the Creek Nation who con- troled them. I f presents or bribes were given by the United States* Commissioner* to any of the Chiefs, from whence name the nionev? Certainly not out of their Private funds, and if such use had been made nf the pub lic money entrusted to their care, it could not he unauthnriznd, as the fact, would ap pear on t|»« settlement of their account at Washington. Resides, what had Messrs. Campbell and Meriwether (the first not onlv a political and personal friend but also a brother-in-law of Gen. Clark) to gain by making this Treaty, other than a common interest with their fellow-citizens in pro moting tho growth and prosperity ofthe State? And mm it fora moment he be lieved, that these men of high and honora ble character, without an object to tempt them other than the public weal, should thus tarnish their fame ! It is contrary to common sense and we will not believe it —The people will not believe it, though it he proclaimed from the house-tops by lea ding Olurk-men. For the bold assertion of some preposterous stones, the Indian Agent Crowell and Ids fellow-labourer a- ffaiiMt the Treaty, Andrews, were caressed bv the Clark people of this place, (inclu ding Gen. Clark himself) when they were liere two or three weeks ago. The peo ple cannot fail to see these things inn pro- >er light. Having the. intelligence to un- lerstand and the independence to assert their rights, thev will supnort Tro up Sf the Twenty against Clark, Crowell and the whole Ci'ii pony, including Andrews, Gaines, Hampton and the rest of them. [Millnlgevillc Recorder, inst. Signs nf the Times.—*Ve are officially informed that Major Andrews, the Special ; Agent of the United States to investigate j the Creek disturbances which led to the murder of M’lntso'i, returned to Wash ington on Saturday. He has been absent oil this business since the 20th of May. | The Milledgevillc Journal, >ays that the * United Suites Commissioners, Messrs. Campbell and Merriwcther, will, in a short time, lay before the public a state ment of facts connected with their negotia tions with the C reek Indians. Ha met Carnmelli Bagdad Cosmar E- mir Bartlett, an Eastern emissary in Georgia, and editor of the Patriot, de- lores that the Indian lands belong to Georgia, but Georgia only wishes to ob tain her rights hv fair and honorable means. This man wont suit his employ ers at Washington, if he uses this lan guage. As to Mnj. Andrews, his mission was not only unnecessary, hut it was, in fact, nn intrusion on the affairs of an independ. c.nt state, and the style of his communica tions was insulting and haughty. When separated from the excitement, incidental to the conduct of the Indians, it will be found to have been altogether a point in diespute between the Creeks and the Unit ed States; hut it has been managed nt Washington, to make it a quarrel between the Creeks and Georgia, and the general government Ims most humanely thrown the burden from her shoulders, and taken sides vith the Indians. Truth, theysuy, lies at the bottom of a well—they will bring it up in Congress on this Georgia Henry.

AW AJPSiACs TO THE PEOPLE OF THE LIMITED S TA TRS. BV \ OKOHOIAN. Conclusion. With the perverse disposition towards us, existing among our more favored brethren if tho North and East, it was to have been "xpected that our institutions should have been reviled and our language misropre sonted. This feeling towards the state of Georgia, among our northern brethren, is founded principally on the existence of sla very—a id from the unyielding democracy which has ever distinguished the state of Georgia. In others, and among our own citizens, it has its origin in political feelings of another character. It is well known that in I7!)4, a set of unprincipled speculators by the basest and most corrupt means ob tained a cession for a trifling pecuniary con sideration from the Legislature of this state, •if thirty five millions of acres of laud, in that part of our territory which nmv com prises f lie states of Mississipni and Alaba ma. These lands thus procured by hriberu and 'orrupthn. were principally by the ef forts of one man, Gmteml James Jackson, forfeited to ‘)i v - state. G mornt Jackson re good bis s *nl in t.hefhjmtn of tlto'TJni’ed States, returned to his native s‘at« and with the most untiring vigilance,and -ntire devo tion to the public good, procure I the annul ment of the contrnct. bv which the partici pators of t he fraud wore cimpelled to sur render their ill-gotten gains. This'torritory Was afterwards ceded to tlio U States by the unfulfilled contract. is not supported by the majority uf the pie ofthe state. But we venture t« 8u y that three-fourths ofthe people are dispon'd to support them in whatever uicnsuresili y may take for flu* interest of the state ai.J tho assertion of her just rights. ’IV p..„. pie know that the prosperity of(«mir/ia is ratsbane to her enemies out of the stuiu— andtha*. accession to her wealth or gr.-it- ness uml**r her present eiilighlenctfcii. f Magistrate is destruction to the hopes n.d designs of her enemies within the stale— And they know too that when the rnii**rf complaint exist, which we have enumera ted, when justice has so long been deiu;.d, when our property and lives are at a sinke through the madness and fanaticism if others, and when all our int. rcotirse with the General Government and its most in- signifi. auf agents is but one of contain\j and cold injustice on their part, it is tima to speak and to speak plainly. In the • ..i- s iu inn stam»....' will In* lotind. which induced our fathers;* contend for t liir just rights through evil and til rough good report—a feeling which how ever long it may submit to injury, will hi rst forth like a consuming fire. it is not, therefore, astonishing that with such enemies, every word or act on winch they might, fasten lias been greedily ctiught at. as the drowning wretch convulsively grasps at tho straw which floats before Ins closing eye. When nn imminent danger thr* atoned ns and our property, by tliofuliy and fanaticism of others, and who.; it wuS justly suspected that tho strong arm of pow* or was against, us, our worthy Chief Magis trate stepped forward and suid to the r*r present at ives of tho pooplo, (I quote liter ally) “ I entreat you, therefore. most ear nestly, now that it is not too lute, to step Ibrth, and having exhausted the argument, stand by your arms.” And this, fellow citizens, has been tortur ed into treasm, madness, fatuity'. The Executive of the state tells the Represen* ratives of the people that their rights are as sailed, in a point in which, to assail is to destroy, and lie recommends them to step forward before it is too lute to urge the ar gument, und when that is exhausted, to stand to their inns- Had the Governor have said, “ the argument, is exhausted, stand to your arms ” the proper construction would Have been different, and the people ofthe state would hnvo been reccomincndcd to stand by thus** arms, which under our mi litia system, should always he ready I’-r service—And for this lie is branded vnh every epithot which malignity can Jevi*», iu* factien discover in her vocabulary.
