Mr. Aukmax, from Talhliiwsec, v ill perform divino scrvico in the Murium’ Church Tuw Evening, _ Two interesting Reports from the Committee on the State of tho Republic, in the Legislature of Georgia, will be found in our Milled pc villa Letter of this day. 1. \ FAVtTTK in Amkhica.—We huvo merely had jUm« to glance at the new work of Mona. Levassour, (then Secretary to the General,) under this title. It is it Journal of the ever.memorable tour of Lafayette in flic United Stab's, iti 1854—5, and is written altogether in a strain of high compliment, with one exception pe culiar to tlio south—every thing which met the eyes ol ♦he Secretary, being displayed iu its most flattering ro- lor«. As the diflurent states are passed a general view is given of each of them. Many inaccuracies occur ■which arc suflicicntly amusing, (we speak particularly nf that portion of the work relating to Georgia,) but which may perhaps And an apology in the enthusiasm of the moment and the extreme rapidity of the movements of the National Guest, no loss than in an imperfect knowl edge of the language in which most oftho information received wns communicated. To give an idea of these, at is only necessary to say that M. Levassour gravely states that tho Alligators in our river grow to the length offilittn and even eightcorfcct (thelargest wo have ever heard of was one of M feet taken at Hill’s Bridge on the Ogocchic) when their body is os large as a hurre; that our port can admit vessels draw ing.fbrty feet (perhaps he had been told/*urteen, the depth over tho wrecks); that an autumn seldom passes without “ tho ytllowfc- fir making cruel ravage*”; and that tho “fraplant grows without culture hi tho neighborhood of Savan nah.” Tho situation and plan of Savannah, merit his approbation in common with nil other travellers. But our limits prevent a lengthened notice of tho publication. A» *hc corner stones of the Greene and Pulaski Mo- Aliments, were yesterday removed, in the presence of the Committee, Irom the spots hi which they had been luid by General Lafuyetto, to tho foundation of the Monu ment in the centro ol Johnson’s square, now being ra pidly erected, the extract relating to them will bo con sidered interesting. It will exhibit at least tho impressions of tho writer on that occasion. A page is devoted to tho reception ami the Dinner, the visits of the Mayor nnd Aldermen, the French citizens, headed by Mr. Di- Villcrs, and the Clergy, liy tho late Rev. Mr. Curler— after which the writer proceeds The citizens of Savannah had for along time cher ished tho intention of paying a tribute of gratitude to the memory of General "Greene, justly considered ns tho southern hero of tho revolutionary struggle; and to that of General Pulaski, the bravo Pole, who, despair ing nf the causo of liberty in his own country, came to sacrifice his life in the cause of American Independence. They thought that tho presence of General Lafayette would add to tho solemnity of tho ceremony, and resolv ing to tho profit by his sojourn nt Savannah, obtained hia consent to lay the first stone ofthe funeral monuments they intended to raise. Consequently, every thing being ready, they inude tlio proposition, which ho ncccptcd with the more readiness and ardour, os ho was gratified to have an orcason of publicly testifying his esteem fur ♦he chnrnctcr of General Greene, to w hom he had been particularly attached. The ceremony wns strongly characterized by tho as sociation ofthosu exalted religious nnd patriotic feelings, w hich particularly distinguish the actions of the Ameri can people. Agreeably to the resolution adopted at a meeting of tho citizens, of which Colonel John Shell- man was president, the masonic society, which wns charged with nil (he details relative to Jim construction of tho monument, formed itself into a procession on the £lst March, at nine in tho morning, nnd moved to the sound of music, to tho lodgings of General Lnfuycttc. Tlio high priest, the kini* mid oilier officers ofthe rnynl chapter of Georgia, were decorated with their fliiix apparel nnd richest masonic jewels. Before them was (tarried a banner elegantly etnbrindored. When they marched with the general, the procession was augmen ted by the militia and citizen?. On arriving at the site of the destined monument, the troops formed aline to tlio right nod left to receive the procession between tlmnt. The children of tho schools jpiiforinly dressed, and carrying baskets tilled with flow ers, which th«y scattered beneath tho steps of General Lafayette, were already assembled. The people, col lected in acrowil hrliind them,seemed placed thereto protect their feebleness, nnd to present thorn to the na tion’s guest. Alter a silence the most profound was ••htmiicd among the attentive crowd, the masons, and tho ihonuincut committee arranged themselves nt the west ofthe foundation, and the other part ofthe proces sion occupied the east.. General Lafayette then ad- vauced to the piano prepared to receive the corner stone. Ho w as surrounded by the grand master, tho gratid keep ers, the dnplaia, the grand priest, tho king, nnd the secretary of tho chapter of Georgia, tho governor. Col- unci Huger, Gcorgo Lafayette, &c. A national air, ex ecuted by a hand of musicians, announced the com mencement ofthe ceremony. Then the president of tho monument committee advanced, and delivered a very impressive and appropriate addres*, which lie conclu ded by the following words: * l Very respectable grand master, iu conformity with the wishes of my follow citizens, ami in tlio mnuie of tho monument committee, I pray you to celt-brute, ac cording to tho rites of the ancient fraternity to which you belong, tlm laying of tlio corner stone of tho monument wo tiro about to raise to the mumory of General Greene. After tho orator had made this invitation, General Lafayette made a sign that lie wished to speak, and ini- mediately tho silence and attention of the multitude were redoubled, and uli fixing their eyes upon him.— He advanced a little, und said with a solemn voice— I Wo omit this address, as it lias been heretofore puli- i idled.) ‘ When the ngod companion of Greene had erased to speak, n brother ofSolninnii’s Lodge, invested with ma sonic insignia, advanced from tlie crowd, and joining his voice to tlio grave tones ofthe music, sung ahvnmj ♦he lost strophe of which wns repeated in chorus hv tlio assembled company,, ntul the prayer of tho people as- cowled lo heaved with the solemn report? of the rever berating cannon. During this time the corner stone had I ron prepared; ond, before placing it, tho grand chnplniii, Mr. Carter, pronounced the prayer with a loud voice. After this prayer, which was heard in religious si lence, tho grand master ordered thosccrctarvufthocoin- Jnlttoo to prepare thodilTcrcul objects which wore to bo placed in tho foundation as memorials of the event. (Hero follows a description of tho articles placed in the stone, and tlm ceremonies of laying it, which nt tho lime wero correctly ami more fully given, in our columns and cannot yet be forgotten.] With these, nnd other ceremonies common on these occasions, the storm was then sealed whilo tho music played a national nlr. Tlio wholo was terminated by a triple volley discharged by tho United Slates' troops. Tim procession then marched hack in tlm same order ns before, and repaired to Cliippnwny place, where the ceremony was repented in luying tho corner stone of the monument of Pulaski. 9 Before returning to his lodging, General Lafayette went to Brigadier-general Ilardon’s to assist nt a pro- (imitation of colours embroidi n»i by Airs. Harden * nml presented by her to tho first regiment of tlm Georgia Militia. On these colors, vety richly woik- ed, wu the iMirtrail of General Lafayette, and sevo- rnl inscriptions recalling various glorious epochs of the revolution. 1 l.o hurst of Mithusinsm nu tecoiv- tug them extended alike to tlm officers nod soldiers, who swore that under these colors, presented |, y beauty and consecrated by Lafayette, they would ever he u«u wired ol vanquishing tho enemies of liberty und their uountry. Home hours after, notwithstanding tlm pressing on- ♦ realms of the citizens, mid uliove nil, the ladies, who hail prepared n hull tor tho mime evening, tho ge'im-nl pressed by limn mid Ins numerous engagements, was obliged to quit Savannah, mid wo oAilmrkcd on board t le.stuamlwut AhUarnnhu with the governor of Georgia and tho rommittno of arrangement, to visit Ammsta' which jit situated a hundred and eighty miles from the mouth of tlserivcr Savannah.” mlVATE connesPoSOENcE.

Tho bill to survey tlm dis puted Ciook lands was, on motion, read ti second lime, ami made tho order ofthe day. for Monday. A bill was reported mstanfer, to nmund ^e lOlh sec tion ofthe 1st aiticln of tho Constitution, tutoring tho oath of Senators and Representatives, ty striking out the words " treat" and “ undue.” Tho Committee on Agriculture anil Internal Improve ment, to w hom was rerot rod Uto report of tho Commis sioners ofthe Savannah River below Augusta made on the 20th ult., made a report in which they say: “After a careful examination ofthe report nnd occumpanying documents, your’ Committee cannot refrain from ex pressing unqualified approbation of the Commissioners us cvmccd in their report, nnd the spirit of enterprise tempered with discretion, perseverance and economy, which it exhibits. The Comm it too anticipate that tho balance of tho appropriation remaining on hand (say $10,130) and other property will bo applied and used to the best advantage.” The petition of Mrs. Hammond, for compensation for extra services rendered by Colonel Abner Hammond in Ifi 12.whilo Secretary of State, was rejected. On the petition of John Screven (for the payment of about $2,(iC0 in bills of credit) in Committee, they re ported progress and hud leave to sit again. The Joint Committee on the Statu of tlio Republic made two reports. (Copies of which, with the pro visions of a bill repotted at tho same time fi*r extending the State's jurisdiction over the Cherokee?, I send you.) 2o0 copies «\re to bo printed for the Legislature. A uu know tho unanimity of tho Slate on this subject, nnd I presume they will ho adopted. I believe I did not mention that in the discussion of tho University hill no objections were made to tho first sections, providing means for tlio endowment of two new profi ssor.diips. It was tlio new chupcl that was so near destroying tho wholo. The remaining suctions appropriated $50(i0 for the Library, and $2000 for tho Cabinet of Minerals, and for tho education of certain poor hoys from each county. Its friends, however, with the recent esenpo in mind, will not insist upon any ol these, or if they do it will he with extreme caution.— Mr. Shorter in the course of the most able spec* h he lias made this session on Friday, openly proposed that an addition bo made to the Turslecs, which number shotdd bo composed of Clark men, thus to cvtnro there wns no improper political feeling In its advancement and government, as it had already beep shown in the recent election for professors there was none of a sectarian na ture existing as hail been asserted. Tills, however, had no other Gleet than to cau*e those ibr whom it wns in tended, to acknowledge the compliment, («r “bail” ns they brutally termed it,) while they continued Ihe'r op position. This, with (“tho fire-brand," ns it was termed,) the caucus allusion, produced n sente, where the unfortunate bill wns fi.rgotten, and political mat ters hecomy tho popular subject. Iu Senate, yesterday, the resolution from the House, appointing one member from each Judicial Circuit to individually or collectively. If some, of the states have accepted, or engaged the aid of tho general government, for tho purpose of extinguishing Indian titles, this nuiy enable them to avoid the trouble and expense attend ing the extinguishment, but does not destroy their own right to extinguish. One ofthe best illustrations ofeivil or po litical right, in relatiou to Indian lands is oh* tained from a compilation made by tho Rev. Jedediah Morse, acting ns tin agent of the General Government, in his report and ap pendix, to Mr. Secretary Calhoun, l'rom the go it nnpears, more especially from the au thority of an eminent lawyer, quoted at page 279, that the Indians are entitled to a limited or qualified property in tho Boil, aright to en joy and occupy under ccrtuin modifications, but with no power to convey, nor indeed to do any other acts of ownership. Tito right of soil, or tho absolute property, and the juris diction over it, belong to the State. Tho in terest in tho soil carries with it the right to buy off, or otherwise remove, the incumbrance of Indian occupancy. This right of tho State is full and absolute. Even if the hunter state should bo changed for tho agricultural, the Indians arc entitled to no more of their territories, after the change, than is requisite to give them, from cultivating the earth, a sup port equal to that which they dorived from thoir wholo territory, in tho hunter state.— Morse's Report,p.fi8. Such is a substantial statement of some of tlio leading principles of customary law as it bears upon the situation ofthe Indians. Should it be said that tho right of disposing of their soil ; tho right of jurisdiction or of prescribing the rule of action in their territo ries ; and tlio right of removing their occu pancy, constituting the sovereignty over thoir territories, bolong to tho Union, nnd that the Indians have not been left at tho mercy ofthe individual States ; it may be answered that tho sovereignty over the Indians nnd Indian lands in the territories ofthe U. States, if not in tho new states, formed, as they are, from the territory of the Union, may bo accorded to the General Government; but tho rights of the old thirteen, sustained, ns they arc, by law nnd by adjudication, will never be aban doned. Tho Committee on the State ofthe Repub lic, reserving the right of giving in another report if necessary, a more full exposition of the laws and usages concerning Indians, have on tho present, occuson, only given such a brief view* of these usages as will place the policy ofthe General Government in stronger relief before the nation. Suclt being the usages concerning In dians, tho policy adopted by the General Go vernment is clearly proper, at least so fur as it is intended to induce them to remove be yond the limits of tho States, or to withdraw trout those limits ; and to extend to them, in some favorable posit ion the aid & protection of Major-General Winfield Scott.-- Wo nro favored with a copy oftlic following Mspondonce, which will ho found cpcci- Dtoroetlng to our Vii-pniii Rca<lcn<— ivorv Citmeii, whodmowa how to value not to take any monkutoa; »w»!B»S"S1£3.Soan^tlio^of W.

They also show an earnest onthfc part ofthe President, that in tho exorcise of that right, it should at this time, not to take shy .ncasurea, cntculutol to.cj.cn- a cession of tho wholo of thoir country for tho uso of Georgia—This request so courteously made lias received additional. weight by an appeal on tho part of tlio President, to our liberality, and beseeching a continuance on our part of that forbenriiiiceliithortoiiuimfi'st- cd by Georgia on tliisto her interesting sub- icet Tlio acquisition of the whole country now in tlio occupancy ofthe Cliorokecs with in tho limits of Georgia is certainly a consid eration of the highest importance to Her clti- xoiib. It therefore becomes tlio legislature, representing the pcoplo of Georgia to adopt tlio measures best calculated to obtain that *irho mere exercise of the right of extend ing her laws over tho territory, and tlio In dians cannot, in the opinion ot your Commit tee be a consideration with Georgia in any measure commensurate with tho uncondition al nnd exclusive possession of the soil by tier cit izens, and if tho same could in atty-wiso lie considered harsh and unnecessary your Com mittee would be the first to abandon tho mea sure. The exertions ofthe President are now directed to the procurement for Georgia of her long.neglected rights; and it certainly would bo unwise, at this time to do any thing calcu lated to defeat a result so much desired by us or w’hich might in the least have a tendency to lessen tlio zeal nnd the exertions of the President in our behalf. It will bn perceived that tho President entertains a lively hope that his exertions now making to cause tho wholo tribe to remove west ofthe Mississippi will be crowned with ultimate mtcccs. And your Comrnitle cannot hut indulge the same hope, that this unfortunate and deluded peo ple will no longer oppose their best interest, hut will receive the advice of the government, in tho spirit in which it is given, and rotnovo, thereby avoiding all unpleasant difficulty with Georgia—such us must inevitably succeed a determination to remain where they now are. Your Committeo, possessing every disposi tion to comply with the wishes of the Presi dent, who is now joined with us in the same undertaking, would have been disposed to per mit our relations with the Indians to remain ns they now stand, but for tho claim ofthe Clior- okees to tho right and soon the exorcise of such right of establishing a separate and inde pendent government, for themselves within the limits of Georgia. The existence of such a government, your Committeo aro of opinion, Georgia cannot permit to exist consistently with Tier sovereignty as a State, and her duty to her citizens.

The bill, to repeal the net reserving to the State all -mines, ores, &c. sent bach from the House with u tilling amendment, is now a law. Tho Committee on tho State of tho Republic made a report on tho subject of tho Florida line, which was adopted. I have not seen it but expect to bo able to get a copy for my next. It concludes, I believe, with a res olution referring tho matter to tho present HussionofCou- gross, and if it docs nothing on tho subject lo render such a course unnecessary or inexpedient, then the Go vernor to be authorized to up| oint proper persons to proceed witli the survey. A report from tho Committee on Agriculture nnd In ternal Improvement on thu Savannah, Ogcchce & A)« tamalia C’annl, to whom was referred that pnit oftho Governor’s Message, was received nnd adopted. Tlio Joint Committee on the Htnto nf tho Republic, to whom was referred tho talk nf tho President nf tho United States to the (’reek Indians, and the letter uftiio Secretary of Wur to thu Cherokee Delegation, together with other documents developing the policy nf tlio ICxe cutive Government of the United States, concerning the Aborigines uf this country, REPORT That this is a subject full of interest to the politician, nml to the Christian. A concise review of this policy may bn productive of some good, and cannot bo productive of tiny lmrm. All experience has shewn, that the associa tion oftho white man with the red, litis gene rally, if not uniformly, proved injurious to both. This fict is deemed conclusive as to tho propriety of a separation. But if any thing more were necessary to demonstrate the necessity of a separation, it would ho found iii the fact, that neither the General Government, nor Missionary Socie ties con prosecute their benevolent purposes concerning the Indians, without serious ob stacles, so long «is there may he a free asso ciation of Indians and white men. It is trio manifest to cscane observation, that white men of abandoned elm motors, are most not to associate with Indians, and to exert a baleful influence ou their morals ami their counsels. The strength oftho reasoning on this head, isgreat.lv increased,when it is recollected,!Imt many of the Indians occupy rmsilions in which t hey will be always exposed to collisions with state authorities. Indeed, it may bo assum ed as a fact, that, the State Governments nev er will consent that, any tribe oflndinns shall exercise tlie powers of sovereignty, within the chartered limits oftho tffates—that they will have to submit to the .State Laws, or re move beyond the limits. Much might be said, on original principles, concerning the rights oftho States in this re gard ; but these are considered ns quest ions no longer open fi ir discussion ; they have heen settled by the usages of Europe and America —by judicial decisions and Legislative enact ments. Tho Supreme Court ofthe II. States long since derided, that, “tho Legislature of Georgia in 1795, had tho nower of disposing ofthe unappropriated lands within its limits.” At a subsequent period it decided, that titles to lauds iu this country rested on the right to discovery. This right residing (witli some modification perhaps) nil he time oftlur A- merienn Revolution, in the Government of Great Britain, was conquered from that coun try by the American arms. Subsequent to t fait period it has been st rengthened, in n num ber of instances, by conquests ovor different tribes of Indians ; for instance the Cherokccs 1 in 1791, and the Creeks at a later period.-— These tribes, with others, have boon permit ted to enjoy u mere occupancy oftheir lauds, chiefly for the intrposo of hunting, nnd have been taken under the guardinnslup of the U. States ; bill this occupancy merely permissive, ami this guardianship merely gratuitous, have in no wise destroyed the rights oftho States, turn to the delightful region beyond the Mis sissippi ; for h«.>\vover the son of the forest may ho entitled to tho rights of humanity,nnd however the states maybe disposed to avoid collision with the General Governmen*, in re lation to Indian affairs, a dependent situation within tho states, is alt ended with evils teo obvious and too serious to he ntrrlookcd.— These evils to t!;j Indium: might be greatly enhanced by /hr. muon nr of r.vrreisiag t ARRIVED, Sloop Iieader, Chevalier, St. MaryV. ft; I ton, Hides, and Oranges, to E Fort andftl master.

In view of the premises, tlio Committee recommend the adoption ofthe following reso lution, viz : Resolved by tho .Senate and House of Re presentatives of the Stale-of Georgia, That they approve tho policy ofthe General Gov ernment towards the Indians, so fur os it. is calculated to induce them to remove beyond tho operation of those causes which evident ly tend to retard their improvement; nnd to extend to them, iu a favorable position, tho fostering protection nnd assistance of tlie country. Tho Joint Unmmitlo on the state of tlio Republic, to whom was reform! that part oftho Governor’s Message, with accompanying documents, concerning our relations with the Clicroheo tribe of Indians—also, a Resolution from the House of Representatives, instructing tlm Com- milieu to inquire into the expediency of surveying the hinds now iu tlio occupuncy of said tribe, &c. REPORTJ That, in the investigation of this subject, your committee, have doomed it unnecessary to recapitulate tlio principles, upon which the right of Georgia, to Die lands now in tlio occu pancy oftho Cherokee Indians, within her chartered limits, aro founded, ns the same have often horotufuro, been ably sot forth nnd sustained. Indeed, these principles have long since been established, by the highest, judicial tribunal known to the country, and acquies ced in by the government of tlmt country,mid so well understood, ns to render any asser tion of them in this report, useless. Tho in tent ami nature of the right ofthe Indians, to the land they huvo been permitted to occupy, within the limits of the State of Georgia, is, however, a question of somewhat difficult do- termination. The right of soil, and of course the right, of jurisdiction, is admitted to ho iu Georgia, und consequently, whatever right, tho Indians may possess cannot he inconsistent with those. * But ho tho right of the Indians wlmt it may, tho Govcrnmont.of tho United Stat es, is hound by solemn compact and agree ment with Georgia, to extinguish tho sumo for tho use of Georgia. Tho cause of complaint on the part of Georgia, at tho tardiness with whiohtho government oftho U.8. has dischar ged its obligation thus incurred, is riomnwhat lessoned hv tlio devolopemont recent ly made by tho President of a sincere wish to satisty tho claims of Georgia, in tlio extinguishment of tlio Indian titlo to all tho hinds within her li mits—Tho zeal manifested by the President, and his corresponding efforts to aid Georgia in tho procurement of this desirable object, merits her approbation, and tho continuance of that confidence, hitherto chocrfully roposed in him. Tho documents submitted to your Committeo, show, that tho right, claimed by Georgia, of extending her laws over tho coun try now in the occupancy of the Indians, is FOR yE\V-YORJ{.
