on any subject, we do not know wb'at
credit should be given to them. It
has been slated here that in conse
quence of James Rogers, of Arkansas,
having used indirect and underhanded
influence with James Spear's Brother
and Sister, who are under age, to in
duce them to emigrate west of the
Mississippi, to lake off certain prop
erty of their Father’s estate, which is
under the administratorship of James
Spears, an affray took place ih M Minn
county, between said Spears and Ro T
gets, in consequence of this private
mutter; and that the Sub agent under
your order at the head of the Sheriff
ofMcMinn county and ot.her citizens
thereof, some days thereafter, enter
ed the Nation, arrested Spears, and
imprisoned him in Athens jail. If this
report be true, we cannot see under
what legal authority the Agent is jus
tifiable in leading the Sheriff and oth
er citizens of the United States into
the Nation, and arresting one Indian
for whipping another Indian, and to
take him out of the Nation and punish
him under the laws of the United
States. In order that any further
difficulty between our citizens, and
any of the Cherokees west of the Mis
sissippi, may be prevented, and that
harmony and good understanding may
be preserved, we do hereby protest
against the Arkansas Cherokees inter
fering, or intennedling with the con
cerns of our citizens in any manner
whatever, and we hope that you will
advise them accordingly, as the author
ities of this Nation cannot, and will
not be, responsible for the conse
quences. It is also stated, that the
Sub-agent and one of the interpreters
are gone out into the Nation to use
influence to obtain emigrants to Arkan-
The contents of the Treaty late
ly made with the Cherokees west of
the Mississippi is generally known to
the people of this Nation, and if they
are disposed to embrace any of its
provisions, they know where the agen
cy iB located and can find the way
there themselves, and vve hope that
it is not the design of the General Go
vernment that any unfair and dishonor
able steps should be taken to seduce
any of our citizens away from this
country.
We will avail ourselves of this oc
casion to inform you, officially, of the
changes which have been made by ap
pointments under our Constitution, and
with whom you are to correspond on
S ublic business with this Nation.—
ohn Ross has been duly elected
Principal Chief of the Cherokee Na

right of the Genenl Assembly to legis

principles, a doubt! cannot be enter

stitution, in the Federal Compact, to
which we are a par|y, or in our rela

this State, which io^airs, in respect
to them, our sovereign right? In the
State Constitution thpre is no limita
tion of the Legislative power over the
Indians within our territory. In the
GEORGIA AND THE CHERO
KEES.
The following is taken from the message
of the Governor of Georgia to the Legis
lature of that State.
The solemn promise of the United
States, made in 1802, to remove at
their expense the Indians from the ter
ritory of the State, is yet to be per
formed. Of the wish and determina
tion of the Federal government, in all
its departments, to fulfil that promise
as early as practicable, we ftave re
peated assurances. The policy here
tofore pursued towards the Indians,
the mode of effecting the purposes of
the General Government by contracts
with the chiefs of the Indian Tribes,
or with the government created by
those chiefs, is still persisted iq, nor
is there any indication that a change is
contemplated. In this State it is well
known that without a change of policy,
the Government of the U. States can
not, by a contract with their govern
ment remove the Cherokees.—
The rulers of that Tribe, who have,
since the year 1818, systematically
devoted themselves to defeat any at
tempt to purchase out their permitted
occupation of our lands, have, as a
last resort, adopted a constitutional
form of government. By this instru
ment the annuity paid to the Tribe by
the United States, and all the rights
and privileges of individual Cherokees
are controlled—a Government profes
sing to be independent, is set up in de
fiance nf the authority of the States of
Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and
North Carolina, upon the territory and
within the jurisdiction of these States.
The Cherokees have been indeed tar
dily informpd by the Chief Magistrate
of the Union, that this attempt will
not make any change in tho relation in
which they stand to the United States.

to the protisions of which we have ev

we will be the last to impair, the only
clause wjiich can be tortured to bear
upon the buestion, is that which gives
to Congress “the power to regulate
commerce with the Indian Tribes.”
To the Cherokees within the State,
we owe protection and to us they owe
In no instance since the
the Constitution of the U.
the authority of a State,
over the Indians within its
limits, bien disputed or disregarded.
The Pendascots and Passamaquoddies
in Massachusetts and maine, the Nar-
ragansetts In Rhode Island, the Sene
cas and theOnondagas, &c. in New-
York, the Choptanks and Nantieokes
in Maryland, the Pamuakes in Virgin
ia, the Catawbas in South Carolina,
the remnants of various tribes yet ex
isting in the old thirteen States, ex
cept North Carolina and Georgia, are
all protected and governed by State
Laws.. On what just principle or
plausible pretext can the right of
Georgia, to exercise similar power in
regard to the Cherokees, be resisted?
Believing that our right is undoubted,
that the exercise of our sovereign
power is required by the best interests
of the State, an important considera
tion presents itself for examination.—
What disposition is to be made of the
Cherokees who reside within the
State? To expel them would be cru
el and unjust; to leave them as mere
tenants at will of their present settle
ments would be a reproach to the
character of the State—for incorpo
ration with equality of rights as a part
of our political family, they are unfit.
Under these reflections I recommend
to you to extend all the laws of the
State over the territory lying within
our limits.occupied by the Cherokees.

To secure to the Indians immediately
the enjoyment of all civil rights—To

eral Government under the compact
of 1802, for the value of the land thus
granted, and for all the expenses that
may be incurred by the State in the
execution of the proposed enactments.

Bucharest, Sept. 7th.
I am now able tp give the assurance
that every measure has been taken to
keep the Mussulmen for the future
from the banks of the Danube. Gen.
eral Geismer, reinforced by the corn*
of Prince Scherbatoff, and supported
by Count Langeron, is now able to
keep not only the garrison of Widden
in check, but even to resume offen
sive operations. Fresh ‘troops

posing, that even' in case the bad sea.
son should force the Russians to spa.
pend their operations, which is yet
doubtful, so considerable mass of
forces will be displayed next spring,
that Europe will be astonished, and
the Ottoman Porte will have no alter-
native but to submit to the will of the
Emperor all the Russias, and to con
cede, not only satisfaction, but also the
guarantees required. If, with the use
of ordinary means, the Russian army,
in the space of three months, has made
itself master of ten fortresses and a
considerable quantity of artillery—if
it has made important conquests in
Europe and Asia—it is beyond a doubt
that the army being reinforced, as
may easily be done, in proportion to
the collossal power of Russia, the lat
ter must infallibly gain the victory.
It ia announced, Indeed, that the
Emperor Nicholas will return for
some time to St. Petersburgh; but
the journey of that monorch, if it real
ly takes place, cannot hinder the ar
my from pursuing the advantage which
it has already gained. From the pre
parations which are making here it is
easy to see that the war is only. just
going to begin,,
the President of the United States
shall have ample time to ascertain
whether the Cherokees choose to re
move for a just equivalent, or to re
main and to’submit themselves to the

You will firijl in the contract made by
the President of the United States
and tho Arkansas Cherokees, here

our Senators, Mr. Cobb, that an article
in that contract was inserted for the
express purpose, and under the be
lief that it would be effectual for en
abling the President to induoe the
Cherokees ip Georgia to remove be

From the New York Daily Advertiser.
RUSSIA & TURKEY.
Things remain much the same at
Schumla, Varna, &c. as at the last ac
counts. It is affirmed by one o: our
latest papers, that the Russians have
renounced all further active operations
on this side of the Balkan for the pre
sent campaign.
It was reported that the British go
vernment had received information,
that the Emperor Nicholas designed
to blockade the Dardanelles. The
rumour produced a greater panic at
the Exchange than had been observed
for a long time; for some imagined a
serious difficulty, and perhaps a war
between Russia and England might
grow out of it. The Courier and the
New Times both agree in declaring,
that the government have received no
official information concerning this sub
ject; and the former paper of Septem
ber 30th, argues against the probabil
ity of the report, while the latter de
clares that the Russian ambassador
has communicated intelligence which
renders it probable that the Emperor
seriously entertains the design. The
Courier says he cannot execute it
without infringing his agreement to
suspend hostilities in the Grecian Seas.
Some of the continental accounts re
present the Russians as determined to
overwhelm the Turks with numbers
and force, and as by no means relaxing
in their resolution.
The Emperor of Russia left Odes
sa for Varna, Sept. 5th, by land.—

LETTER FROM MR. GOOD-
ELL.
Extract of a Letter from Rev. William
Goodetl, to a gentleman in this ctty,
dated
Lazaretto of Malta,
June 21, 1828.
My Dear Sir: Yours of April 23,
1827, was not received till April 12,
1828. You could not have then, tho’
it is not improbable you may have
since, expected, that my answer would
be dated from this place. God’sways
are not like ours. We feel satisfied,
that, in leaving Syria for a season, we
have followed the dictates of Christian
prudence, and the leadings of a gra
cious Providence; and we confidently
hope, that our reasons will be satis
factory to the Christian public, when
made known, as they doubtless wil Ibc
soon, through the Missionary Herald.
We went on board an Austrian ves-
sel the last week in April, sailed from
Reyroot, Friday morning, May 2d,
having been detained several days in
the harbor by contrary and stormy
winds. In order to avoid the ill luck,
which in supposed invariably to attend
commencing a voyage on an unlucky
day, the captain very gravely spread,
sail on Thursday evening, though lie
neither took up his anchor, nor put
down his rudder and thus broke the
spell, by whieh seafaring men-are al
most universally bound, in regard to
sailing on Friday.
We touched at Cyprus for provis
ions; but were not allowed to land,
because the plague had been for some
time at Beyroot, and on all the coast of
Syria, South of Beyroot, Mussul
mans, from intercourse with Europe
ans, seem now in many places to be re
nouncing, at least practically, their no
tions of fate and invincible necessity.
Both the Pasha of Egypt and the Pa
sha of Acre have established quaran
tine regulations; and the Governor of
Cyprus has yielded to the Wishes of
the few Europeans there, and united
with them in making and enforcing
laws on quarantine, even more strict
than necessary.
Cyprus appears to have been tho
birth-place of Barnabas, Paul’s com
panion in many of his travels.' It was
to this place.that these two “servants
of the most high God” immediately
sailed, after they had been sent forth
to their work by the prophets and
teachers in the church at Antioch;-It
was here they wrought miracles, and
“preached the word of God in the sy
nagogue of the Jews, having John to
their minister.” And it was here,
“the deputy of the country believed,
being astonished at the doctrine of
the Lord.”—Wo inqatred about the
cities, which these Apostles visited;
& thought of the doctrines which they
taught . Alas! it is to he feared that
are reports
were to be delayed, to renew propo-
sals tp tho JPorte. The^ will, as some ’ no such deputy as “Sei^ias Paulua,”>
