India:
“ On the site of the modern town of Ba-
koo, (a Russian station on the shores of the
Caspian) once stood a city, celebrated in
the times of the Guebres for its sacred tem
ples, on the altars of which blazed perpetual
flames of fire, produced by ignited naphtha.

We occupy our last page with a chapter from the
“ Praric ” about to be published, which we extract
from another paper, in order to give such of our
readers as indulge in that kind of reading an idea
of its character and execution. We should infer from
it, a considerable similarity to some of the preceding
works of this author.
and so it will and must continue, while those physi
cal causes exist, and their social relations preserve
so minute an individuality or separation of interests.
For these reasons we believe the condition of those
on whom the labour, for the most part, devolves in
these southern states, to be preferable to that of the
labouring part of the population in Great Britain,
and that the comfort of the latter would be improved
by resolving themselves into a similar condition; for
here, when their labour has resulted in an accumula
tion of property, should adverse cij^uinstanccs oc
cur, they have that property to rely on for subsist
ence ; but there, as soon as their toil has created a
store beyond the demand, their interest in it ceases,
and their means of support are prostrated until the
excess may obtain a vent, or be consumed by those
who can command it. We do not intend to imply
that we arc advocates of the system prevailing
around us; but merely, that notwithstanding its ob
jections, it affords more security and comfort to its
subjects than the others enjoy.—However, this wc
think to be certain—in those communities subject to
the grievances in consideration, either systems must
be established that will enable the producer to par
ticipate in the benefits whenever the supply renders
further production temporarily inexpedient,—or they

of which they now complain.

The foreign news which we give in this day’s pa

ent forecast, or acumen in those affairs to say it is
important. The newspapers on a larger scale extract
many discussions from the English journals relative
to the uncommon change in the British ministry;
but we conceive none of them of more moment than
the selection we have inserted.—Mr. Canning will
now doubtless have his associates “bone of his

called for and adopted m relation to Portugal have
been virtually disregarded by those on whom they
were intended to operate, it is not improbable that
they niay be followed by something more .vigorous,'

The new counties have at length been
settled and organized in spite of Mr. Adams
and all his train of Indian Agents, Special
Agents, Major Generals, threats of civil ar
rest, and of Military vengeance. The con
test has been a bitter one, but Georgia has
triumphed, and the nation at large has de
rived from it a signal benefit; for the dis
cussions that have grown out of it, have had
more influence than any thing that has oc
curred in many years, in awakening the
States to a due sense of their rights, and in
enabling them to place a just estimate on
the nature and extent of the powers of the
General Government. But in addition to
the triumph Georgia has enjoyed in the
matter of these lands, she has received a
substantial benefit in another point of view.
The claims of her citizens for militia servi
ces, in times long passed by, have been al
lowed. We believe that, hut for the Creek
controversy, these claims would still be un
settled. The violence of the Creek con
test necessarily excited in others, an in
tense attention, not only to the subject im
mediately in issue, but also to others which
had been matters of complaint on the part
of Georgia. Of this, a distinct perception
of their justice, was the inevitable conse-

There are still, however, we apprehend,
difficulties in store for Georgia. A large por
tion of her territory remains in the possession
nf the Cherokecs. Georgia will not rer-t sa
tisfied till this is obtained, and the obliga
tions of the General Government in regard
to her territory are fulfilled to the last tittle.
It is now a most propitious moment to agi
tate that subject. Two of the oldest and
most influential Chiefs of that Nation sleep
with tl-eir Fathers. The party in opposi
tion to a sale of the country found their chief
support and protection in these chiefs.
Those who occupy their places are under
stood to be men of a different disposition
and character. An intelligent Cherokeee is
said to have made the remark, when he
heard'c^f the death of Charles Hicks, that,
the Cpcrokees will sell their land now

Another Invention !—There is scarcely a
day that the “affiliated presses” in the cause
of the Administration do not spawn forth
some miserable misrepresentation. Now,
we have the feeling of Gen. Jackson tortur
ed by an indelicate attack upon his wife;
then all the merit of his New-Orlcans vic
tory is to be depreciated. Now, the public
is to be blinded by a false account of an Op
position Caucus within the walls of the
Capitol itself; when it was there that the
friends of the Administration sat in Divan.
Then, we are to be startled by the story
that M. Van Buren is to be run as Vice-
President; and next, that Woodbury is to be
the selected candidate, tales as idle as any
in Arabian Romance.—On Friday, we con
tradicted the silly tale of Gen. Jackson’s
being the author of a double-faced letter, se
cretly recanting his opinions On the Tariff.
And on Sunday, We have in the Frankfort
Commentator of .the 2Sth April, an anony
mous letter from Augusta, Geo. of the 1st
of March, which states as the opinion of
many intelligent men, that the “temperate
yeomanry” of Georgia “ will take up
Adams,” and as “ the firm belief” of the
writer, “ that Jackson will not get the vote
of the State.” Let that monstrous whale,
however, pass—we come to another asser
tion equally bold and unfounded: “If
Gen. Clark and his friends (coupled with
the influence of Mr. Crawford, who is known
here to be for JVfr. Adams) should take him

his success in this state is almost certain.”

square building, with three steps leading up

At each corner is a hollow column, higher

of which issues a bright flame'; a large fire

It is an important matter—vitally important
to the people of Georgia, and it becomes
them to look well to it. Every thing de
pends on the man whom they may elect in
October next, to fill the office of Governor.
The obvious dictate of common sense is,
that the man should be elected, who, in the
controversy that has just ended, has been
most completely identified in feeling, in prin
ciple, *and in action, with Gov. Troup. The
United States Government, as it is as pre
sent administered, is very prone to find pre
texts for avoiding to do what is its duty to
wards Georgia. The slightest expression
of popular opinion that can be so construed,
will most assuredly be seized upon by it as
an excuse to postpone indefinitely the ac
quisition of the Cherokee lands. Hence
the immense importance of electing Mr.
Forsyth, to succeed Gov. Troup. He is
before the people as a candidate for the of
fice. Every man in Georgia, who knows
any thing, is well acquainted with the part
he has borne in the late controvert” about
Indian lands. Now slfcmld he be rejected
by a people having this knowledge, and hav

Trade with Peru.—We learn from letters
from Lima to the 3d of January, that
through the interference of our vigilant
and intelligent Consul, Mr. Tudor, some
concessions have been made in the com
mercial regulations of that country, which
are likely to be of material advantage to our
citizens. Qne of these is a permament re
gulation, by which whale ships will be al
lowed to enter the port of Callao and to sell
oil and naval stores for procuring their sup
plies without paying the tonage duties which
are exacted on merchant vessels. The du
ties paid at Callao are three, viz:—those
on the merchandize sold ; an anchorage du
ty, which is trifling; and a tonnage duty,
which is heavy. The whalemen which of
ten touch there, being now exempted from
this last duty, can sell a few barrels of oil,
commonly at a good price, to procure sup
plies—a permission which must be of con
siderable convenience. Another provi
sion, in favour of our manufactures, is of
more importance. A new Tariff was lately
established to take effect in February,which
subjects most of our articles of e xport to
that country to a heavy duty: that on cotton
goods bleached and unbleached, chairs, fur
niture, hats, shoes, lard and soap, being
80 per cent. It was still more injurious to
our trade by an exemption in behalf of Eng
lish and India cotton goods, which although
! our manufactures are better adapted to the
market and are generally preferred, would
have given the English the entire supply.
Mr. Tudor in a long correspondence with
the Government, endeavoured to obtain an
alleviation of the duty, particularly on cot
tons and chairs, those being the most impor
tant articles, but if this was 'not granted, he
claimed firmly, as an indispensable alterna
tive to show the impartiality of the govern
ment, that all foreign plain cottons, Eng
lish, Madapollams, India Sannas, Baftas,
&c. should be subjected to the same duty.
This has been acceded to, and a decree pub
lished equalizing the duty . on all plain
cottons. Our goods will in consequence en
ter the market on the same terms with the
English, and being from their substantial
quality better adapted to the consumption of
the country, they will have the preference.
The sale of these goods, in the market, a-
mounts already to more than $200,000 a
year, apd it may be expected to increase.^-

The only approach to the true nature of the case
