tht demise of the Princess Charlotte of Co urt, who died at Claremont on the 5th of No- rtiber, at 2 o’clock in the morning, in giving r th to a still-born child. At this mournful oc- rrence, the whole British nation seems plunged i the deepest sorrow. Hints are thrown out in the London papers hat a meeting of parliament is to be called for moving the suspension of the Habeas Corpus (t 4 A “ Royal Divorce” is also talked of, that the rince regent may have issue. 'Hie papers likewise insinuate, that precautions ould be taken for the union of the unmarried -yal dukes, so as to secure the inheritance of he crown in the liheal bloud of the present king. We discover nothing in these advices relative the fitting out of “ sixty sail of the line,” late- ybi ought to Savannah, by an arrival from Liver- csl. A passenwer in the Friends also informs, at no sech intelligence was in circulation when e left Belfast. The accounts from Dublin and Cork,-of the 4th oveniber, state, that the fever increases to an arming extent, and that the deaths have const 1 ‘ 1 multiplied within a few days. ^erably i lit the London Courier of the 22d of October- (a ministerial print,) we are happy to find the fol Inning remark :—“ It is gratifying to be able to ajfcdre our readers, that every tresh account from Aoerica affords reason to believe that the desire to be on the most friendly footing with Great-Bri- tain, animates more and more the councils of the a ricau government. Prejudices are rapidly g way to wiser views of the true interests and policy of both countries, and we have every aeason to believe that all the discussions and ne gotiations between the two governments will ter- nfinite to the satisfaction of both.” DOMESTIC. A DELIA ISLAND TAKEN. SaVamiah, Jan. 2.—By a gentleman, who left Amelia Island oil tiie 26th uft. we are informed, that on the arrival of the United States’ squadron on the 22d, despatches were' immediately for warded from the Prometheus to Aury, who re- tsrncd'for answer, that lie did not intend to make any resistance, but wpuld have willingly surren dered the place to the Saranac alone, if such a de mand had been made. Next day, the 23d, the American squadron anchored in the harbor of A r me|ia Island,and landed about two hundred heal thy looking troops, who marched up to the tunes ef ‘vSail Columbia” and “ Yankee Doodle,” and ik possession of the fort, where the American g was instantly displayed. As our troops land ed on-the beach, Aury ordered a gun loaded with abjaek cartridge to be fired, and immediately hauled down the Mexican colors. He and his men are allowed to remain until they can conve niently embark, with whatever belongs 'to them, but are prohibited the wearing even of side arms. At thf time of surrendering there were six pri- vateyys and three prizes in’the harbor -; the latter have since been augmented by two more, a ship prize to the Mexican Congress, and a lugger ta ken bjr the Patriots. All of them, as our infor mant 'understood, would be allowed to depart with Aurjr; whose motly squad have behaved with un common civility since the surrender of the island. Oar informant further states, that the American sq«wtr»n was bu-ily employed,when he left there, i0dMli^A 4 lar|ia qu«niity oPtltninc« anti am munition—which, when taken into view with the destination of recent drafts, in our opinion, indi cates the expectation in the minds o! our govern ment fif the probability of a visit from the British. Republican .Mtr/ofF, Dec. 27.—The U. S. Frigate Constel lation, com. Shaw, anchored in Hampton Roads, last; evening, in 44 days from Gibraltar. She left * the squadron at Gibraltar, consisting of the Washington 74, Com. Chauncey ; Frigate Uni ted States, Capt. Crane ; sloop of war, Peacock, Capt. Rogerg, and brig Spark, Capt. Nicholson. They ( were all to sail in a short time for Port Mahon. The Erie, Capt. Gamble, had sailed for Marseilles two weeks before the Frigate left Gib raltar. The following Officers came passengers in‘the Constellation—Capt. Creighton, late of the Washington, 74 ; Lieuts. Morgan and Nichol son; Capts. Hailand and Breckenridge, of the -Marine Corps, and Maj. Stull. Parts of the crews of the squadron, whose time had expired came house in the Constellation. In September last, owing to some difference with the Bey of Tunis, the whule squadron was drawn up before the town, and preparation made fir an attack— but the affair was amicably adjusted without pro ceeding to hostilities. The best understanding existed between the U. States and the Barbary powers, and all the states bordering on the Medi terranean. The plague still raged at Algiers. rUKSD.VY, JVNUAItV 13, 1818. Copy of a letter from David II. Mitchell, Esq a re, Agent for Indian Affairs, to Governor Rabun, dated •• Creek Agency, January 8, 1813. “ Sir,—The messenger who was sent below to propose terms of peace to the Seminnlies, has re turned £ and the enclosed is the substance of his report, which I received by express. “ The friendly chiefs and warriors are to meet meat this place on the 11 tli instant, and I have great hopes that our differences with the Semino- Fics, can, with their assistance, be adjusted. “ I understand that much apprehension prevails about the safety with which travellers can pass through the Nation. It is my opinion that there is not the least danger in travelling the road from Fort Hawkins to the Alabama, by this place and Fort Mitchell ; but I would not advise travellers to use the road from Fort Perry to Fort Guincs, or indeed any road as low down as Fort Gaines, lor the present. “ lam, with high respect and esteem, your most obedient servant.

The Mickasukies say it was not them that began the war; they were sitting down in peace, and the white people came on them in the night, and fired on them. Toe Mickasukies are all sitting down in their towns, and doing no mis chief, and waiting to see if the white people will make peace with them. The people that shot at the boat nnd killed all the white people, were the old Red Sticks, from the upper towns, them that turned hostilcs last war. The man that was sent to the Mickasukies, (Hopoie Haijo,) with a peace talk, met the Mickasukies at the half way ground, coining with a peace talk to us.

B ELIEVING the provision - in the act of the late session of 'the legislature to amend the Penal'Ciide, which prohibit the introduction of Slaves into this state, For the purpose of specula ft.ii), lobe founded on the,permanent interestsand the true policy of this state, we give timely and public notice, that, from and after the first day of February, we will prosecute for violations, or eva sions, of those provisions, either by sellers or pur- chasess of Slaves ; whether'they be citizens of this state, or the sister states. YVe aver that it will be painful to cause any man to be heavily fin ed and thrown .into the Penitentiary ; but we also infurm-pcrSutfis disposed to violate the law, that jt will be more painful to witness a recur rence of the daring violations and shameless eva sions whieh have already degraded the citizens of Georgia, in the estimation of reflecting men. We trust, however, that, paying due regard to their pecuniary intereats and their personal lib erty, speculators will save us the trouble, the ex pence aid the pain of prosecuting, by an acqui escence it the law of the land ; or that, if viola tions or evasions occur “ the officers of tiiis state, civil and military,” whose special duty it is, un der the hw, will keep from the shoulders of pri vate citizens a burden which properly devolves on public officers, on account of their public ca pacity, and their oaths of office. If however, the public officers should be so unmindful of their duty as to neglect a service involving the vital interestbof the State, feeling, as we shall, the deepest regret at so criminal a dereliction of du ty, we shall proceed, tho’ with the greatest reluc tance, to the enforcement of a law, sanctioned by every principle of justice, humanity, policy and interest: and we shall confidently Icly on the aid, co-operation and countenance of every friend of religion, morality, law and order ; in execu ting a law enacted by the immediate representa tives of the people, and enforcing a policy.re commended by Tucker, Jeffersoq and Franklin , by tlie intelligent Legislatures of several of the uifr.at- populous and enlightened of the sister stales ;■ and, indeed, by the great, the good, and the excellent of all Christendom. YVe earnestly invite the citizens of the other counties to co-operate with us In this good work. Five—nay, even one or two citizens in each coun ty, supported, as they would be, by the friends of law and order throughout the state, would be adequate, witli the strength of the law, tiitlie suppression of an evil denounced by the Legisla ture, and deprecated by every unprejudiceu,'re flecting man «. the community. But let it be remembered mat its growth is most rapid ; that it will hourly acquire strength ; and that, in or der to produce an easy destruction of the monster it must be. crushed at cnce. r It will, therefore, be dangerous to delay a single day after the 1st day of February, when the amended penal code will go into operation.
