It is a subject of much regret that Gene- ii
ral M’lntosh,’ cannot be present on the o
heart-thrilling occasion to which this day is s
devoted. General M’lntosh stands fore
most among the patriots of Georgia. He was i
a soldier ol the revolution and distinguished 1
himself in 1773, and at a later period com- 1
mantled a detachment of troops, in 1814, I
against the British and Indians. Such are
the men in whom the virtuous Lafayette
delights. We have been furnished by an
esteemed friend with the following extract (
ol a letter Irom the General, expressive of i
his feelings on this occasion : ,
“ Fun Hope, 14 h Mirch, 1823. i

INTERN AL 1M PllO VK M ENT.
A report av is made in the II mse of Rep
re-en at.ves on Saturday la-.t, bv Mr.
Hemphill, Chairman of the Committee on
Roads and Canals, containing general views
oi the subj.-ct, tlie extent and importance
ol which may be estimated by the contents
oi a bill reported in connection with it, not
of course with a view to its being acted up
on at this session, but to present, in (he
mo-.t definite shape, the opinions of the!
Commi tee on this subject. The bill, thus
reported, proposes to authorize the Presi
dent of the United States to borrow, on the
best terms he can, anv sums of money, notj
exceeding in the whole, ten milhons of dol |
iars ; which sums are to be borrowed at
such tini -s as may be necessary for the
purposes contained in the second section of
the bill.
ihe secontl section proposes to authorize!
the Secretary of the IVeasury to make sub
scriptions, on the part of Ihe United States,!
in such companies for internal improve
ments as may be incorporated by the res
pective Stales, and as Congress may ap-i
prove from time to time.
Die third section contains a provision,
that each State may, under certain restric
timis, purchase the slock subscribed in such!
State, and take a transfer ol the same from
the Secretary ol the Treasury
Die fourth section directs the Secretary
ol the Ireasuty, as long as any stock be
longs to the United States, to receive the
dividends on the same, an..l to vote for the
officers of each company, according to the
shares subsetibed.
We shall shortly find room for the whole
report. The above sketch, meanwhile, ex
hibits its main conclusions. An extra num
ber of two thousand copies was ordered to
be printed for the use of the House.
[Nat. hit.
ill
We understand that a supply of Ameri
can Gold Coin has been sent to the Office
of the Bink id' the United States, in tins
city, for the purpose of paying the Members
of Congress, in order that the benefits re
sulting from the Mint may be diffused j
I through the country as much as possible. |
The President and Directors of the Bank
of the United States deserve praise for their
j constant efforts to accommodate the com
[munity as far as the interest of their S ock
holders will permit. Their desire to do so,
in this instance, lias subjected them to the
loss of the premium which gold at present
bears, and, also, to the expense of rans
:mitting it, by a Special Messenger, to the
Seat of Government. Ibid.
The reports that have lately been so in
dustriously pu into circulation in relation to!
the hostility of a pan of the Creek Indians
towards these who signed the late treaty,]
t»rn out to he without foundation. Col.
I Ilrory G. L amar who had been despatched
jto the Cussetau and Tuckabatchie towns to
apprise the inhabitants of them of the conse
quences of any act of violence, has returned.
'We have seen his report, and it lully estab
lishes the fact, that nothing like hostility
was meditated. At Tuckabatchie the chiefs
were assembled to regulate the internal af
fairs of the towns; —’The report states—
“ Our salutation was friendly, and the chiefs
gave every testimony of the indulgence of
the most amicable feelings. Hopoeithlea
Yoholo seems to have succeeded the Big
, Warrior in authority.”
| A talk was delivered to the council ex
' plaining the object of the visit, at the eon
. elusion of which Hopoeithlea Yoholo spoke
in substance as follows.
J “ lam glad to see you, and gratified that
you have placed ii in my power to contra
dict the reports which have reached Georgia
. I love my white brothers, anil I love their
! peace. I Jove Mclntosh. On hearing
. these false tales about my wishing to spill
blond, lam sick at heart, and my blood is
. chilled I was in the war with Mclntosh
and our white brothers to subdue tiie lios
. tiles. We succeeded. My enemies in war
iare now under my authority, and to
.‘employ them against my best friends, is
what lias never entered my mind. I love
f my father the President and would never
offend him. Not one murmur against my
. white or red brothers has, by me, been com
| muted to the western breeze to be wafted to
ii G mrgia. That Mclntosh has made the
I treaty—this will not nuke me his enemy.—
f I still love him. I speak with but one
tongue —I never have deceived, 1 should
i 1 he sorry that my father the President,
j should hear such bad things. 1 wish his eai
yI to be stopped against them, and that he will
pay no attention to them. My father, the
President, told me when luwkins was agent
r to throw away the gun—quit (he chase, and
• cultivate the land. I fallowed his advice
and know it to be good. My gun is now
. rusty and I cannot see to shoot. Instead of
, the gun I now Use the plihv and the hoe. Ii
| my people desired war they have not the
Fmeans to carry it on. More Hum half are
I without guns. Cot they never thought of
spilling blood. 1 wish you on your return
,] to inform the Governor of these tilings so
- that my white brothers may noi bedistressed,
. I Have met you as a brother ami I hope
t you are satisfied. I hope we will part as
we met.”
, On this talk and all Col. L. could collect,
the following observations are made.
. “Previous to my arrival at Tuckabatchie,
from gross misrepresentations, I had reason
. to suppose they indulged the most malevo
lent feelings towards those favorable to the
treaty. Indeed, had I given credence to
reports, my conclusion would have been
that they were on the point of commencing
, immediate hostility. Such was the prevail
ijing feelings that emanated from exag
gerated accounts, that on application to
■ wo halt breeds near Fort Mitchell, to ac
,!company me to Tuckabatchie as interpre
ters, they declined through fear, staling that
(they had understood that the 'Tuckabatchie
>: Indians were derennined to r nforce the law
. passed at tae Polecat Spring.’—“ From
; all the discoveries I was capable of mak
ing 1 can arrive at no oilier conclusion than
. that tne feelings of the town have been ln-
Itally misconceived.”
| On tne 7tii Col. Lamar arrived at Cusse-]
tan and Lund the chiefs assembled accord
ing to previous arrangement. Col. L. de
livered.! talk explaining the objects of his
j visit, and in particular unfolding the views
|of tiie President, and the movement of the
I Indians \V r est of the Mississippi, After
patient attention the Little Prince replied
in a tew words by unequivocally denying
any contemplated hostility to those who”had l
signed the treaty. He further stated tlui
j the circumstances attending the tliglu of
)C 1. Miller and Arbicker originated from
| causes so trilling in their nature that ihe red
j men did not judge them worthy of notice
and that they ought nut to be considered as]
indicating the indulgence ol unfriendly feel
ings. That no such feelings were indulged ;
and he appealed to lus chiefs to confirm thej
statements.— Journal.
11l one of the tremcmluous storms that i

Ratification of the Creek Treaty.
Extract of a letter to the Editor ol the lie -
publican dated
Washington, 4th March 1823.

‘that our late Creek Treaty has been ratified

the Creek Territory within the Georgia lim

Montgomery, Esq. of Jackson County, as

GREAT FIRE AT ST. THOMAS.
Captain Luce, arrived at Boston, furnish
es the following account of the destructive
i • » s ”
, lire at St. Thomas :
'I “On the 12th February, a fire at St.
I Thomas laid about 400 or 500 houses inash
, es, and about 100 stores of all descriptions,
. in the west of the town. Property to a large
amount was destroyed, and hundreds who
. arose in the morning rich and independent,
f were before £>on, destitute—the fire being
- so rapid, with a sti'oifS; gale, that little proper
ty was saved from its fury.—The markets
. were, however, but little atfecrcd by there
, being such a large stock of provisions, &c.
C on hand, in the part of the town that remain
t ed uninjured, and on board the numerous
r vessels in port. Notone of the American
Minuses in the place sustained any injury,
. they being all located in that part of the
town which escaped the fire. The Governor
B had issued an order prohibiting the rise of
| any provisions or rent in consequence of the
t fire, and olV 4- advantage being taken of the
unfortunate sufferers. FI mr was selling at
; white pine lumber g2O; Shingles g4j
~ Kish 552 to per box ; Mackerel goi to 4 }
r and almost every article of provisions in pro
j portion.
„ Private letters state that about half the
[j town was destroyed, and 500 families ren
. dered houseless. The destruction was at
tested by the spirited exertions of (he offi
() cers and crew of the United States schooner
s Grampus, and the Americans in the port.
, It was ascertai led that the calanmity
.. was occasioned by a silly trick of a super
y stitious old woman, to detect a theft.
0 Lieut. Colonel Roger Jones, has been ap
pointed hy the President of the U. Stales,
- with the consent of the Senate, to be Atl
e jutant General of the army of the United
d States.
