ube, under Rear Admiral Pationotti, support,
ed the movements of tho army, tho Turks
sought tsfufco in the fortress of Silislria, aud
the work of investing it was thus olfseted iu

of tho Russians at 160. The next night o
Turkish Courier, sent by ilia Pacha of bills

The Creek Indians.—The Macon Tel

from tho Creeks; the two Ridges and Vann
were ail that attended, and they aro not in au
thority in tho Cherokee nation.
Tho Telograph goes on to say—“ we aro
informed by a gentleman from Fort Mitchell
that he did not apprehend any,,attack was
contemplated by the Crocks on the whites K
nor was it probable that any ellianca or con
cert would bo formed bylhcm with other In*
dian tribes, owing to tbeir mutual animosity
and hostility towards each other. That it
was true tho Creeks had held a secret coun
cil, for the purpose it was believed of remon-
strating with tho Genoral Government, and
entering a protest against being forcibly re
moved ; but that tbe prospect of ao Indian
War depends upon a remote contingency,
which ho thinks can never happen.
Owing to various unfounded rumors, re
specting tbe hostility of the Indians, our in.
formant adds, that' a good deal of excite
ment had boon felt on tho frontier, aod parti
cularly at Columbus ; but that all apprehen

■ Monsieur Tonbon.—About once every
five years for the last half century tho Beau
marchais claim comes tapping at the door of
tho Treasury. We hayo now before us &
vindication of this claim in a communication
for the Richmond Enquirer, emanating at
we prcBumo from the agent, who resides at
that place and who has unsuccessfully urged
tlio claim on Congress for many ypirs past.
We should leave this stale question to Us
fate, if its advocates had not in defending it
charged our country with injustice and in
gratitude. Tho facts are briefly these:
France secretly advanced to tbe Colonies
certain monies to enable them to continue
their war with Great Britain* -' Among these
advances were two items, one of ono million
and the other of two millions of livres. Tho
firet million was advanced before our dedar* V
ation of independence—the King's order was
given iu May 1776. Beaumarchais was tho
secret agent employed by the Frenoh govern* *
moot to furnish suppUos to tho Colonies—ho
oxocuted that agency, and although part of
the supplies were taken from tbo King's nr*
soualn, tho French govornmeot were obliged
to dooy all agency ip .the matter, and Beau
marchais ac'uajly received from tho Urifffd
State8 8omo millions of livres for tbeso sup
plies as if he had paid for the whole with his
own means. When Doctor Frank jin's ac*
counts oamS to be adjusted, tho three tmlUous
referred to wore charged to him While' ho
bad received but two—he wrote his govern
ment that he suspected that Beaumarchais
had received tho million in questiofi,aod that
•uni was accordingly suspended in the settle
ment of his account at the Treasury. 4 Itv
1794, the late Gouvernenr Morris, then our *
Minister to Franco, applied to the Frcqch
government; the archives were searched*.
and the mystery was disclosed—this mil-
lion of livres was directed by the King's
order to be held for the uso of tho A*
tnerican Colonies,.and the euro was Accor
dingly paid oyer to Beaumarchais under a
Treasury older It is this vory million of
livres which Beaumarchais received from
tbe Treasury of France$>r the use of tho
Colonies, that he and Jus representatives
have persisted in refusing to credit tbe Uoi-
ted States. The claim has beon uniibrmily
rejected at the Treasury and by Congress.—
It is manifestly without a shadow of founda
tion, and can never be sustained as a private
claim : nevertheless, as the million in ques
tion was one of the gratuities of France, it ia
a case of some delicacy between tbe two go
vernments. Whenever our mutual claims
shall be adjusted, or become the subject of
negotiation, there can bo no objeotioQiif
France desires it, to admit tho Beaumarch
ais claim as a part of millions of Our proper
ty which she unlawfully confiscated, and-
which Abe took, without waiting even the
forms of a trial, from the Caisso d'Amortisse-
ment. Whether the balance of gratuity
might have been once against us, Franco
has amply indemnified herself, bv sei
zures to fivo times tbo nmout of all such •
advances—seizures,’ too, which she has
admitted to bo unlawful, by iudemoifyiog
other governments for similar claims—
Wo by no means wish to underrate tbo pat
riotic services of Beaumarchais—we would
adjust bis account upon principles of liberal
equity—but we cannot see ibo proprioiy of
allowing him to receive this million of livreh
which Fninde chooses to consider as a gra
tuity to us. If it was a gratuity to Beaumar
chais and not to. us, let hor avow it, aud,
however her own records “and her own ac
counts with us may prove to tho contrary, wo
will pay the amount. In the mean timo we
would adviso tlio advocates of the claim to
spy less of tho ingratitude and injustice of our
own government. Thobo transactions are*
now obsolete, but tho accounts,still, exist—
Franklin’s coibspondonce- still exists—the
fife, character, aod circuinstapces of tho ec
centric Beaumarchais are known. A strict
investigation of all these will show* that, inde-
pootly of this million, he was most amply,
most generously indemnified Political ne
cessity compelled France to disavow* the
transactions of Beaumarchais wo were oblig-
WQ0 ed to confirm her declarations, and to pay to
Baaumai^bais what all tbo world know be
had previously received from tbe Frenoh go
vernment. . _
