wMch are herewith most respectfully sub mitted.— Also, a printed synopsis of the Charter marked A. arid an address to the citi/.ons <>( Georgia, in July last, marked B. also, a communication to the members of the Legislature, at the late session marked C. to which is annt x -tl a list of ihe coun ties, (thirty) and their population, amoun'- in;;, by 'he late census, to two hundred and seven thousand two hundred and six y-se ven souls, most immediately to be beorfi'ed by opening the port ot Brunswick, as an exporting and importing market ; all of which are likewise, herewith most respect fully submitted for the inspection and infor mation of your honorable body, upon the subject of the prayers of your memorialists. A copy of Lieut. Stockton’s report of the survey of the bar and harbour of Brut s- 1 wick in 1826, -transmitted from the Navy ; Department, is also submitted. From the documents above referred to, ( your honorable h dy will he enabled to ar rive at the importance of the object and ( prayers of your memorialists. Should Brunswick become a naval s f a(iou and rendezvous, for which she seems to be ; dearly destined by nature, the Rail-Road, though short, may be said to partake still | more of a national character, and an appro priate enterprise for the fostering ca-e and ' co-operative aid of the General Govern ( men', which will open that port to an ex- 1 tensive anti fertile interior of the United 1 S'atea, and, not only produce renovating i and lusting benefits to Agriculture ami i Commerce, hu: through which vessels of the - Navy may, at all times, receive supplies, , cheap and abundant. From authentic documents it is ascer- , tained that eighty thousand bales of cotton, | for one article, descended the Altamaha ri- ( ver the past year, and one hundred thous and bales will have descended the same ri- 1 ver the present year. The increase of produce and consump tion of that division of the State, has been 1 at an average of 20 per cent for die last •five years and still increasing.—One hun- 1 died thousand bushels of salt, for one arti cle, will be consumed in that region of Geor gia during the year 1832. Should jour honorable body decline to authorise ‘he subscription to the balance of the stock us prayed for, then, in that case, your memorialists pray that the Honorable the Secretary of the Treasury, may he au thorised to loan to the aforesaid Riil Road Company, twenty thousand dollars for three years, at an interest of six per cent, and to receive, us security, a bond and mortgage upon the .two hundred shares of the Rail- Road stock, and include as many lots in the Town of Brunswick in the said mortgage as may,fie deemed an ample and bona-fide security-—the interest to be paid annually, in advance ; and, that your honorable b.dy will be pleased to hear and grant a part or file whole of tiro prayers of yum alisiS, they, as m duty bound will ever nrfiT, s»c. 11 W. 13. DAVIS, URBANUS DART, Commissioners, AIRING^NOBILITY. SYe ware siruck, whilst looking over toe I London Court Journal, with the apparently | musty state of the English nobility, and tht consequent necessity of frequent exposure U> atmospheric purification. I’he editor of the very arousing journal we have quoted in-; forms its readers, with praiseworthy, min uteness, of the day and hour when each in dividual is submitted to the reviving ioflu ence of an air bath. Thus, we are told that on Sa'urday the Princess Augusta enjoyed a carriage airing, and kindly condescended to give Lady Mary Taylor an opportunity to air herself also. On Sunday, the “Court Circle” attended divine worship, after which his Majesty took an airing of two hours. On Monday, the Dutchess of Gloucester took her turn, and indulged in a carriage airing; on Tuesday, Lord and Lady Petre. Lady Julia Petre and Miss Petre, made a job of if, and were all aired together. On Wed nesday, the King, wi h the Dutchess of Gloucester, took a carriage airing; and the Princess Augusta drove out in a poney phaeton. On Thursday, H*r Royal High ness the Dutchess of Kent is chronicled asi having inhaled the fresh air in company' ( with Lady Charlotte St. Maur. On Friday: 1 —here the record is defective. [Boston Transcript. • Original and true Anecdote.— The master of a school in Orange county, New-York, recently observing one of his pupils in tears, asked him what was the matter. The lad replied —“ Robert, sir, keeps putting Anti masons on me sir.”—The teacher, with no little trouble, restrained the inward momen tary impulse of laughter, ami inquired of the little urchin where Robert got his Anti-ma sons; to which he replied—‘‘out of his head, , si r n> [Stain, Sen.

AT] OUST A : FRIDAY, FEBRUARY i<>, ftrtv THE Superior Court adjourned on Wednesday last. Dull times for the Profession—- hut a single case whs relumed to tlie last infeiioi'Couii. Alabama has established a separate Supreme Court of three Judges. Would to God—Georgia would see tier own Hue interests and do likewise 1 We under-laud Mr. Forsxtu was engaged in the Vi in Boren Debate, and made a splendid speech. He is said to enjoy a high reputation as an Orator and Statesman—with all parties. By a vote of 93 to 96, 48,000 was stricken from the apportionment Hill and 44,000 adopted as the ratio. If the Bill shall so pass, the House will have 259 members—-and we believe Georgia, two more. It is amusing to read the speeches of the grave Senators who rejected Mr. Vai» Buber’s nomina tion. They are all deeply penetrated with Vise de licacy of their situation —they have no malice to wards Mr. Van —not they—but they feel for the dignity of their country —and most reluctantly— and for weighty—most v-eighty reasons are they constrained to advise the President against the no mination. After such exordia the reader is prepar ed to expect something extravagantly strong in the way of reasoning— but after toiling through the oft repeated story of “ prostrate dignity and party de votedness”—he will, if he have but half an eye, discover that Mr. Van Buren—party man though he be— has been condemned by a parly—and that par ty composed of a happy combination of Nullifers and National liepublicans. Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Clay “ have doubled teams” upon the Minister and put him down. Will they keep him down ’—lsa question for this high minded country to answer. We proceed to extract from one of the Anti- Van speeches, the offensive paragraphs in die Ex Secre tary’s correspondence with our Minister at the Court of St. James—the head and front of his of fending--those horrible sentences for which as some of the “ potent signiors” have it—he should be—and has been—as far as their votes could do it, consigned to perpetual shame. The subject is the Colonial Trade—the bare mention of which brings to mind the brilliant victory achieved by the pre sent administration— and m which Mr. Van Bnren so largely participated—the passages are these : “ The opportunities which you have derived from a participation in our public councils, as well as oilier sources of information, will enable you to speak wilh confidence (as tar as you may deem it proper and useful so to do) of the respective parts taken by those to whom the administration of this Government is now committed, in relation to the course hereto fore pursued upon the subject of the colonial trade. Their views upon that point have been submitted tc the People of the United States; ‘*"- 1 uy w:n-, n yum c,millet .is now directed are the re suit of die judgment expressed by the only earthly .tribunal to which the late administration was amen able for its acts. It should be suthciciu that tin claimssetup by them, and which caused the inter ruption of the trade in quest ion, have been explicit )y abandoned by those who first asserted them, and are not revived by their successors. If Great Britain deems it adverse to tier interests to allow ua to par ticipate in the trade with her colonies, and finds Homing in the extension of it to others to induce her :to apply the same rule to us, she will, we hope, be I sensible of the propriety of placing her refusal on those grounds. To set up the acts of the laic ad ministration as the cause of forfeiture of privileges which would otherwise be extended to the People of the United Slates, would, under existing circum stances, be unjust in itself, and could not tad to ex cite their deepest sensibility. The lone of feeling which a course so unwise and untenable is calculi ted to produce would doubtless be greatly aggrava ted by the consciousness that Great Britain lias, by Order in Council, opened her colonial ports to Kus sia and France, notwithstanding a similar omission on their part to accept the terms offered by the act of July, 1825- You cannot press this view of the subject too earnestly upon the consideration of the British ministry. It has bearings and relations that reach beyond the immediate question under dis cussion.” “ I will add nothing as to the impropriety of suf sering any feelings that find their origin in the past pretensions of this Government to have an adverse influence upon the present conduct of Great Bri tain.” Now is it not almost incredible, that within the compass of these few words is to be found the strongest ground relied on for the Ministers defeat ! I We cannot say we admire the tone and manner of , the extract ,- a just criticism would perhaps strike out the word “ privileges ” and put in “ rights,” and perhaps some other term might be substituted for “ pretensions.”—Mr. Van Buren might have o muted too, to dwell upon the tortuous policy of hit fallen foes, and drawn a veil over the family quar rels of the Republic. But in the name of common sense and common justice, are there any errors in these paragraphs sufficiently enormous to justify the Senate in rejecting a most distinguished man—a fa 1 vurite {aye—there was the rubJ of the President— who was at the moment of his discomfiture conduct 1 ing a delicate negotiation at a foreign Uourt f Cm elly it is said, never wants a crime to punish—anc 1 they who have thus swolen the molehill into s mountain—who have fretted and raved against Mar tin Van Buren as a man devoted to party— havt been peradventure long—long determined upon hii downfall whenever a fit opportunity should be pre seated for accomplishing it. They are themselvei a party anxious to shove “the Hero” and “ the ma gician”—from their stools that the "Nullifier” ant the ‘‘Tariffile” may warm the same seats, f Bullet us go on with a few extracted reason; , from some of these speeches ; Mr. Foote—so little addicted to sneaking himself and yet the cause o! t 1 an much speaking in others —pronounced the afore , said paragraphs to be degrading and disgraceful he 1 cause he said it was “ our pride and glory that in all bar diplomatic intercourse we have never ad t ' miffrr/our country Se in the wrong.” Timm new kind of glory and pride which we trust our young diplomat int i wilier/and profit by. Though their country may be wrong, it is their duty never to admit Iter to be so, and if it comes in the way, they may defend die Alien and Sedition Laws ot any 0110-r departure ft in c 'nstiuitiond rectitude, ‘ with a jrnifect propriety. Now- wc are toy our countp right or wrong but that morality is cei " tainl) equivocal which requires us to insist that she jis right when v.e know her to lie wrong! —Mr » W -lister late opposed to Mr. Calhoun and Mr t Hay no, hot who wrought so kindly with them in • this business ; dwells upon the quotation we have ( 'made, and disputes facts on which the F.x-Secrtia- , I ry relied. Let ns hear him upon one of these, and • we shall see what misconceptions may possess a r mind, confessedly above the common level. | “ The Secretary proceeds. “ Their views, (that ' is, the views of the present administration,) upon t Vthal point, have been submitted tothe people of the ' ; United States i and the counsels by which your . conduct is now directed, are t.be result ofthejudg | ment expressed by the only earthly tribunal to which the late administratrun was amenable for its acts.” “Now', Sir, in the first place, there is very little reason to suppose that the first part of this paragraph ■; is true, in point of fact. I mean that pun wliich . intimates that the change of administration war brought about by public disapprobation of Mr. A jdam’s conduct, respecting the subject of the colo !,nial trade. Possibly, so much was then said, on a ■(subject which so few understood, some degree of i impression may have been produced by it. But be assured. Sir, another cause will be found, by ! future historians, for this change ; and that cause ‘(will be the popularity of a successful soldier, united ( I .with a feeling, made to be considerably extensive, [ t .lbat the preferences of the people in his behalf bad j . not been justly regarded, on a previous occasion. ( There is. Sir, very little ground to say', that "the i ■ only tribunal to which the late administration was ' amenable,” has pronounced any judgment against it • for its conduct on the whole subject of the colonial 5 trade,” . I We do believe that Mr. W. mistakes the fact, I-and that Mr. Adams would have continued in office' • j ! t other four years but for the measures of his ad | ministration and the principles he professed—which i were utterly disapproved by a vast majority of the ; American people !—Mr. Clay made, as maybe well a most disinterested and impartial speech ! • |Oh —hsw sorry he was that he was forced to vote a s gainst a gentleman, between whom and himself the j relations of courtesy and civility had existed—it was ( very painful—but stern necessity and all that— and e so be talked as Mr. Webster had bone, about the s colonial trade—and said what he could to justify the unsuccessful policy pursued by Mt. Adams’ admin u istration and under his own direction.-—After scve. _l ral other speeches, Mr. Poindexter addressed a real u oration to the Senate—full of flourish & flowers, and sjimages—he too objected to the opening of the West k,lndia Trade—but added a multitude of reasons Mto fortify the vote he was to give. We wonder if (plliey will be satisfactory in Mississippi -Me object > eil to Mr. Van Boren because he flattered the Pre Hsidenl’s weaknesses and nourished bis prejudices— °lbroke ud Cabinet councils—led the * ' u,cncr * l . jto excesses and errors ; and finally dissolved the ly [Cabinet itself !--Mr, Miller followed—and many rea 1- sons and topics did he discuss—some few of (hem • we venture to glance at. He said the President t was a native Mr. M's own District—that his father d was his friend. [Did Mr, M. not think of the sacred II injunction of scripture, “Thine own and thy fathers | s; friend—forsake not !”] And that the President had , r taught his elder brothers and sisters their—A. B. C. e He insisted that Gov. Hamilton should have been 'hone of the Cabinet—it would have been a most feli appointment—his talents, fine manners and Jmanly bearing might have sustained the administra i-|tion; but South Carolina was skipped over—because I- tthe Vice President resided there. He informed the j*'Senate that Van Burenism was introduced into S. t . Carolina in 1830—by preconcert, “by a leak from y the mountains and a wave from the shores at the 1 same time”—and he said the Union Party in Charles .'J'toni is composed chiefly of Adams men, {who follow e for patronage the successive changes of Presidents eas the sun flower does the Sun. The Senator went lt on to say that his patriotism prompted him to go for I (South Carolina against the United States, and the p U. States against the world ! He objected that the n Ex-Secretary had introduced boys of 16 or IT into e office—that he favored the proscription system, had '".left a regency here in his interest—had established “the Globe”—and finally he held Mr. Van Buren 6 responsible—but we will Just quote what the Sena e . ( tor says— _| “And shall we not retaliate ? I hold the nominee II responsible for this breach in our ranks. Nay, more, e I hold him responsible for the unredeemed pledges ” made to the public, pending the last Presidential j canvas. What were they ‘ One term of service as President, retrenchment of public expenditure, no official tampering with the press, to perpetuate the 1B dynasty, no selection of members of Congress for, r- 1 offices of profit; public expectation on these topics : n -has not been realized. 1 excuse a generous confi ding President, and hold the wily subtile Minister and his subalterns liable for the failure. 1 will pay e a portion of my share of the debt bytputtingmy i~ veto on this appointment.” -| He who reads these speeches will rise from them, t- with a sense of the ridiculous mingling with hia “ mortification. Never was important conclusion so' d feebly sustained by argument ! Such speeches will a never satisfy the People ! '«| FIRE.—An alarm of Fire occurred in this town is on Sunday morning lan, about two o’clock. It proceeded from the stable on the lot occupied by Dr. T. K. Lamar. Fortunately, it w»» timely dis :s covered by the patrol, and extinguished, without I a doing much injury. Had it been uiidiscovered a i id few minutes longer, the dwelling home of Dr, L. and probably otliers, would have been consigned ;to the flames. It was evidently an incendiary at-j 18 tempt to fire the town. !e Macon Tel. 6th inst. if , Carrara, alias Polarl, who has been bo long in prison for robbing the Princess of Oiange of a large amount of Jewel-, made an attempt to escape early 11 yesterday morning from Bellevue. He had secretly i procured a saw, and had sawed three «f the iron bars of his window, one of which fell down into the yard, and alarmed the watch, who instantly gave information to the keeper. Thus was Polari pre vented from making his escape, which, but for this, he would doubtless have dune. H&annebr In Cincinnatti, Ohio, on the 12ih lilt. Capt. H L.
