I Mod yon, with tbia, the tapes* of Messrs. Campbell and Marri»ethar,,ta relation to the Treaty eooolnded by them, it will ba fund to contain e very satisfactory riodicptioa of their conduct, and to be justly severe upon tbs Agents of the U. S. Government, whose "strange fantastic.tricks” in the Indian lit-, lion daring the last inmmer hare claimed so moch'atfenlipn. Under nil the oircumsten- cos of the case, it does appear that tha refer- anoe to Congress of this Treaty (which it it now understood it persisted in) it ooe of the most unwise and unnecessary measures whiuli bis distinguished - the present' administration ef|k. General Government- .1 also tend you the annual Report of the ' Treasurer of the State, from which you will perceive tint the balance in the Treuury now is $773 466 59 bents. Of thia amount there 400,000. I understand, is in notes of. the Bank of Darien. The annual Repo ts of the Bank of Darien and of. the Bank Slate of GeOrgi*, also ac company this, together with the Bill for the establishment of the Board of Public Works.- The former win shew the present condition of those institutions. The latter' I think it pro bable will past in the House. Among the Documents submitted to the Legislature recently by the Governor, are se veral affidavit* purporting lo detail some of thp'eonversations of General Gaines during the last summer at the Indian Springs. Tliet do little honor to that officer. .Hie expres sions Were of the most riolent character, and shew the extraordinary excitement whipli ex isted in liis mind abuut the time . of, Writing some of hit celebrated letters, which were so industriously trumpetted forth tbruugliout the Union. • *■ The election of State House Officers comes on torinorrow—jjjgpp will do doubt be a com piete sweeping out. The asperity of political feeling oow -existing is unfortunate. It hat Mtulted this far r in the election which have taken plaoe, generally not to ,the benefit of the people, and if no other result it experionc ed from it, this la a sufficient evil. We only have to Hope that it may not affect their inter est. yet more fatally by being brought into exercise, upon subjects with which it never should be suffered to interfere. .

Conmieeionere, to rtla- tion to the late Treaty concluded by them icith the- Creek Jndiane. The commissioners on the vrt of the Unt tod States who-concluded the late treaty srith the Creek Indians, are placed by circumstan ces beyond their control, in a sitnaliua not lets painful than, peculiar. Intrusted with a negotiatioa of great national and local- im portance, they had conducted it to a suceoss ful result, and the treaty itself bad received the fullest nhetion nf puhiio authority, afte< Ilia only-argument which could be suggested against its validity had been presented both t., the executive aud the senate of toe United Stetee.ft) ■ ~ It, a short time‘thereafter, Gen. M’lntush a chief, equally distinguished for hit mflitenct among hit own countrymen, anil for his friend ship, attachment and service* to the white people, ami tome of Ilia meat eontpicuon- friends were assaasinatedhy a band of thnse Indians who had opposed a cession of territo ry while reposing with perfect confidence on the solemn pledge of protection against the “ hostilities of tha whites and all others" gi ven in the 8th article of toe treaty, and at the very moment they' were preparing, for -the (moedy remuyal. or the "emigrating party." The Indian agent. Col. -Crowell was -accused nf having instigated the massacre. (3) and Major' Andrews of the War Department was speedily delegated to investigate the charge, while Gen. Gaines was simultaneous ly' commanded to (oppress the disorders of the Creek nation, and if possible compose its dissentient. Believing that the powers con fided to those gentlemen, would be exorcised exclusively in an Oxaminalion of the subjects referred to them, the commissioners never entertainod a thought that their oonduct in the negotiation of the treaty was to be ar raigned, or toe integrity of their official and private characters impeached. As little did they teipert that the executive dbptrtment of the United States, was in any degree- dis satisfied with the course they had pursued.— They have maintained n correspondence with the secretary of War from the conclusion nf the treaty to the present, aod no disapproba tion has been expressed. Soon Iwwerer,' af ter these gentlemen had entered upon the performance of their duties, both of them, in terms more or less direct, pronouiicod the commissioner! guilty. of corruption in nego Rating the treaty, or of such a departure from justice as could scarcely be considered- less culpable. (3) It is now officially announced, that the treaty, notwithstanding its solemn ratification, is to be submitted to congress, burthened with tlse charge of being “ tainted alike, with intrigue and treachery.” (4), The clearest principles teemed to require that the government should protect its own negotiators from a particular inquisition tom their coaduct, by tgeats subsequently appoin ted,'and for purposes, ostensibly differen.— We repeat, that the commissioners bad re ceived n» intimation of a design to examine thch-diplumatic proceedings, and cannot now believe that the head of tin government in de legating Gen. Gaines and Maj, Andrews for specific purposes, intended that they should extend Uieir investigation to a subject embra eing to many interests which were not repre sented before their tribunal. Tim rights of the United States, of. Georgia, and let it be respect folly added, of the commissioners also, demanded that they who ma t he supposed best qualified to defend them to for at the* were involved in the treaty; should receive notice oTtbe ground on which their public sets were assailed, and enjoy the opportunity of sustaining tortm But <t no snob measurer .were adopted, and tha comm itsionea were not stoical enough to regard with todifierencs the possible effect of(!m accusation if. jt re mained uncontroverted, they applied to the department of war for a copy of tb* charger and alleged prortt which had bean derived from the investigation, and a* yat copies bare not been received.

It would have hern well if Maj. Andrews economising bit sensibility to mjuv tine, had reserved enough to rretrsiu liimrrif from'wrong, instead of exhausting the whole in a volunteer reprehension of that which ho unadvisedly imputed toothers. The govern or of Georgia solicited such a suspension uf the agent as would prevent or diminish his in fluence over the witnesses to he examined oo his trial. With extreme reluctance tin special agent agrees to suspend him is -. courtesy" to the authorities of the state, and yet in Use profession of hit extraofdiniry courtesy to Georgia, denounces .tlse conduct of her legislature as enjuat, if not persecuting, •Since this gentleman uniformly affects the air of a fislidin-.B observer uf nil the -nicetiss of propriety, what cod Id have Induced him to offer this gratuitous insult? He was-cout- missioned to try Crowell, not the legislature, or tiie negotiators of the treaty, and uotliing irwould'seem but the violence- of partitas seal could blind a cautious judge tb an iodc- corom to. flagrant—the letter of tuipeoiiw alone, is sufficient to stamp tlltycharacterof hii.operalioos.

Charity and ingeneity uaktd would find it oo inconsiderable task to pwliiato snoh a measure. If the trial bad praceudrd without a suepeoaioa, and Maj. Aodrews.ktd remained silent, peikons to fear of Crowell might have been emboldened .to testify the truth, under the appreheasibn that jiutjee would be doue to ordering, bit removal; 1st here was an official caveat notifying all into that they would testify at their peril,' With the nature of the. charge at oorrsp- tion to boMly and .gratuitously exhibited by tiip special agent, and with the epecifin- tiam which he hat doubtlessly furnished tht department of war, wa-are not acquaints, and hence- cannot beexpected-to give a par ticular and specific answer.
