Wo cannot think at present of going into an
exposition of the cause which hurried Jerman
Baker to this tragical catastrophe. It is as
painful to tell as the manner of his death is
afflicting toeyer personal sensibility,
The Creeks and Osages—By a gentleman
who came down in the Facility, and who was
present at the larfding of the Creeks above the
three forks of the Arkansas, we learn that the
meeting between the Creeks and Osages was
vory cordial and friendly. A large portion of
the latter nation had been encamped at the
place of debarkation for two or three weeks,
At the suggestion of Col. Brearley and Col.
Arhuckle, a Council of the Chiefs of the two
nations was held on the same evening, at
which the object of the removal of the Creeks
to that country Was explained to the Osages,
who appeared to be perfectly satisfied.—Clay
more, the principal Chief of that portion of the
nation who reside on the Arkansas, appear
highly pleased with his new neighbours—pro
posed an union of the two nations, which will
probably be acceded to—and as an evidence
of his sincerity, offered his daughter in mar
riage to the Creeks.—Such a measure, wc
think, will tend greatly towards tbo security of
both nations, in the wars which will unquestion-

CONGRESSIONAL
The foil owing message was received from
( l,e President of the United States :
Co the House of Representatirus
of the United States :
Washington, 25th March, 1828.
I transmit, herewith, a report of the Secre
tary of State, prepared in compliance with a re
solution of the House of Representatives of
j<5th February last, requesting copies of in
structions and correspondence, relating to the
settlement of tho boundary line of the United
States, or any ono of them, under the Govern
ment of tho Confederated States, and by tho
definitive treaty of peace,' of 3d September,
1783, with Great Britain.
JOHN Q. ADAMS;
The Tariff.—Tho House then went into
Committee of the whole, Mr. P. P. Barbour in
die Chair, and took up the Tariff Bill.
Mr. Hoffman resumed and concluded his
speech ih vindication of the bill, and in oppo
sition to tho amendment.
Mr. Bates, of Massachusetts, said, that he
that its effects would be equally destructive to
•.be interests of tho manufacturers—a set of
men on whose character the gentleman from
Now York had made an attack of the most ex
traordinary kind. But as it was now late, (be
ing near four o’clock) he would venture to
move that the committee rise.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATITES.
March 26.—The House resumed the con'
..ideration of tho resolutions heretofore moved
by Mr. John S. Barbour, proposing to amend
the Constitution in such manner as to take from
the President all agency in the appointment or
dismission of accounting and disbursing of
ficers, and, on motion, after some debate, the
resolutions wore committed to the Committee
of the Whole House on the state of the Union
Public Lands.—The unfinished buslnoss of
•yesterday, being the hill for the graduation of
the prices of public lands, Wras then taken up.
Mr. Benton accompanied the reading of a
letter from a Land Agent in Tennessee, with
some prefatory romarks. The writer of the
letter made some statement of the effect of the
system of graduation in that state, and cave a
schedule of lands sold under the system, de
tailing tho benefits derived from the plan of gra
duation, and wishing success to the bill pro
posed by Mr. Benton.
Adjournment—March. 27.—Mr. Tqcker, of
South Carolina, moved tbo consideration of
the resolution submitted by him yesterday, for
the appointment of a joint committee “ to fix
on and recommend the dav on which the Pre
sident of tho Senate and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives shall adjourn tho
present Session of Congress.”
Mr. Stores demanded thejeas and nays on
Ibis question.
Thev were ordered by the House, and be
ing immediately taken, resulted as follows :
Yeas 78, Nays 87. *
“So the House refused ul this time to consi
der the resolution.
Senate,Mnrch 28.—In the Senate, yester
day, the bill for the relief of the widow of the
late General Brown—giving her 5.500 dollars,
the amount.of pay, emolument and allowances
from the time of his death to the end of the pre
,3snt year—was, after some discussion, order
ed to a third reading. The bill providing for
certain surviving Revolutionary Officers was
taken up, on motion of Mr. Woodbury, who
proposed two additional sections to the bill ex
tending its provisions to the widows of deceas
ed officers, and io soldiers-; tho bill was then
postponed to, and made the oyder of tho day
for monday. The remainder of tho day was
spent in (he consideration of the bill for gra
duating the price of public lands.
(In additional to the particular! given below of the
death,of Mr. Raker, wc learn fiotn tho Richmond En»
qutrer, of the tat instant, that as far as it can be ascer
tained there is a deficit in th” Treasury to the amount of
25,033 dollars. To nn inability to meet this demand,
and a sensitiveness that could not brook to meet the
world’s contumely, may be traced the cause of his death,
Raker is said to have possessed an unimpeachable cha-
ractcr ss a man of honesty. No loss is apprehended by
the # state, his securities, more than 25 in number, be
ing amply able to meet the deficiency.]
Suicide.—We have fo perform tho melan
choly office of stating, that Jerman Baker, the
Treasurer of tho Commonwealth, has commit
ted suicide. He seems to have executed his
purpose in a deliberate manner. At a late
hour on Thursday night, his family retired to
rest, leaving him inane of his lower apart,
monts. Towards day break, some alarm was
created by bis absence from his room. On
making a search, it was ascertained that the
parlour door was locked—nnd ho was found in
it, in almost an exhausted condition, with a
handkerchief tightly drawn around his throat,
connected by a string with a slip knot to his
hands. Efforts were made to save him : but
he refusetUo be bled in the arm—and although
he consented to take a dose of medicine from
the hands of his child, yet he was too far ex
hausted ; he resolutely resisted every other at
tempt to relieve him~he took an affecting leave
of his family—and about 9 o’clock he breathed
his lasf.
He is said to have addressed a farewell let-
fer to Kis family, and to have dispatched one to
his son, living several miles from this city.
He tleo wrote a short and pathetic notice to an
old friend, and one of the securities to his
Treasurer’s bond, praying him to pity, to for
give and to forgot him—this note was without
any signature. He left particular directions
about the humble manner in which ho wished
his remains yt bo interred
St. Louis, in June, 1825, and the Creeks will
probably occupy one of their towns, which was
included in that cession. We sincerely hope
that the harmony and good feeling which sub
sisted between the two nations when our infer,
mant left there, may be permanent.
The. Osages and Pawnees.—On the evening
that the Creeks were landed at their place of
destination,and whilo their Chiefs were in coun
cil with those of the Osage nation, a war party
of Osages returned from an excursion against
the Pawnees, bringing with them 8 prisoners.
It was said that a large party of Pawnees were
within a few miles of the place where the Osa
ges were encamped ; and n report reached the
steam boat, just before ho left that neighbour
hood, that they had attacked the Osages the
evening previous, and killed 25, This report,
however, wants confirmation.—Arkansas Gaz.
James Capps, the owner of the land On
which the most productive gold mine in Meck
lenburg county, and perhaps in the state, has
been found, died at his residence near Char
lotte, on the' 7th instant. Poor old man—his
gold mine was bis grave ! The treasures dug
from his land gave employment, and subsis
tence, nnd even wealth to otiiers ; but they
proved the death of him who might have pro
fited most by them. Anterior to ihe discovery
oChis gold mine, he owned hut a few acres of
the most sterile and apparently valueless land
in Mecklenburg county, which yielded a mis
erable subsistence to himself „nnd family ; but
thoy had stayed on the pluco, in a half starved
condition, for many years. The discovery of
the gold mine, however, had a magical effect
on the wo-begone condition of the family. No
sooner was the old man’s pockets well lined
with cash, from the products of his auriferous
soil, than himself and family plunged into ex
travagance and excess; and the Bottle, that too
common resort of those whom affliction has
cast down, or some freak of fortune has sud
denly elevated to a condition for which nature
and habit has unsuited them, cut short the days
of this miserably fortunate old mnu.—lk cstern
Carolincan.
Ammunition.—To landsmen, and men of
peace, tho annexed statement of the quantity
of ammunition expended by a single line of bat
tle ship, the Albion, in tho fight of Navarino,
will seem, as it does to us, almost incredible.
It is taken from the Hampshire Telegraph.
“ IVo will hero notice the extraordinary
qygntity of ammunition which the Albion ex
pended in the battle, viz. 5 tons, 18 cwt. 1 qr.
lllh. 14 nz. of powder; and 45 tons, 14 cwt.
24 lbs. of shot; winking n totnl of 51 tons, 12
cwt. 1 qr. 71b. 14 oz. of powder and shot fired
from tho great guns, besides 5,000 musket ball
cartridges, and 400 pistol cartridges ; which is
probably the largest quantity of ammunition
ever fired by a single ship in one action. The
number of shot she fired, and, from hor being
in “ the thick of it,” scarcely one but must
have taken effect, was 2,028 from long guns,
and 1,665 from carronadcs, weighing 99,224
lbs. Hence, whore every ship did equally well
all surprise from such a return, ns tho annihil-
Intion of the Turkish fleet must cease.”
Curious law Case.—The Court of Appeals
in Bordeaux is agitated by a suit of an extra
ordinary character. A young fellow not long
since presented himself to ah old Inirgoss of
that city, who has a snug estate and no heirs
apparent, and claimed to he the old gentleman’s
son Robert—long before supposed to be dead.
The old gentleman put on his specks, and ex
amined him from head to foot; but probably
not liking his looks or suspecting that he was
one of those men not born to be drowned, nnd
whoare not over-credible ss connections) came
to a negative conclusion and dismissed hint. The
youngster grew warm—the senior ordered him
out of doors—he refused to vanish into thin air,
andthe old gentleman handed him over to the
police. He immediately fee’d a professional
adviser, and commenced proceedings to make
himself the old gentleman’s son, whether tho
old gentleman will or no.—lVhat will be tho
issue, is yet unknown.
FOREIG.r.
By the fast sailing ship Lafayette, we have
been politely favoured with a regular file of
New York papers, to Tuesday last, 1st inst.
which contain London dates to the 24th, and
Liverpool to the 26th of Feb. inclusive.—Sac.
Republican.
Tho complexion of affairs in tho East is cor.
tainly warlike, but it Is, as fat, impossible to
say what will be the result. It was confidently
nsserted that the Russian army would cross the
I’ruth as soon as the season would permit, and
it was surmised that tho Emperor Nicholas
would find some pretext for acting independent
ly of Great Britain and France.
The-Turkish Manifesto excites considera
ble interest. A Vienna paper states that die
Porte has drawn up a list of proscriptions,
which includes 1600 French, English, and
Russian subjects. Some of the subjects of
those powers, have been obliged to flee
the place. Vessels with corn have been Offload
ed for tli'o supply qf the Turkish armies, rein
forcements of men, cannon, and ammunition
take their departure daily from Constantinople,
and arc to shape their course towards the
Danube ns soon as the weather is Open. A
circular order to the Pachas avows that the
forbearance of the Porto after the battle of Na
varino was only to gain time, and accuses tho
Russians of having at length succeeded in se
ducing two other powers to assist in Overthrow
ing the Ottoman Empire.
The Ambassadors were at Corfu—and it is
said, were to mako a new proposition to the
Porte.
From the London Times of Feb. 24.—The
Porte seems resolved to fulfil its destiny and
rush into war. A proclamation like that of
March 1820, has been issued by the Sultan,
declaring Islamism in danger, and calling on
all Mussulmen to arm#. The demons of
bloodshed have not been invoked in vain ; the
horsetails have been loosed to the wind, and
100.000 Asiastics are stated to be in full march
to Europe. The Pacha of Egj-pt,' the most
powerful feudatory of the Sultan, has been
summoned to giro all his aid to the representa
tives of tho prophet. But Mehemet All will not
he suffered to float his swarthy hands to
Greece or Southern Turkey; if his Arabs
mingle in the combat they must cross the de
sert, and march the whole extent of Syria and
Asia Minor.
Constantinople is one vast camp; immense
chains have been forged to protect tho entrance
to the Dardanelles—the whole naval strength
of Turkey guards the Bosphorus, and warlike
preparations resound on every side. Mah
moud has dared as yet no act of hostility; he
seems resolved to strike tho first blow ; but
lists of proscriptions have issued,which include
1500 French, British, and Russian subjects.
The Charges dc’ Affairesofthe Neutral Powers
protested against tyrranny, but in vain. It is a
question, however, whether the lives of the
Europeans would be safe on the arrival of the
Asiatic hoard ? Tltoso ruffian bands in 1S20
tpread murder nnd pillage along their whole
line of march—they massacred without mercy
in Smyrna nnd Constantinople, and it is there
fore better that the subjects of tho three Pow
ers should be deported than remain at the risk
of being butchered in cold blood. Russia is
not insensible to these proceedings. Wittgen
stein is concentrating his force, and the Polish
army, the elite of the Russian troops, is in
march to tho Pruth.
Poland now forms the van of Russia, her
national existence has been recognized ; she
has her own laws, her own language, and her
territory free from tho charge of other troops ;
she has ohtainet^b great diminution of her im
posts, and her revenue is applied to the im
provement of her own soil, and the reparation
of her sufferings; thus some slow atonement
is made for tho horrors of Prague—the massa
cres of Suwarrow, and the tyrranny of Reppin.
The Turk is tho ancient enemy of Poland,
and tho Belgors will feel the lances of the
Uhlars.—Turkey may remain passive on the
Northern* frontier, and try to overwhelm
Greece; but will Russia look on in apathy ?
If Sultan Mahmoud imagines that he' can
choose the field of combat, he will find him
self mistaken. Tho Russians will mask tho
fortress on the Danube, and march directly on
the capital, and Mahmoud may have to fight
for empire and existence under tho walls of
Constantinople. Nor will the Ottoman be suf
fered to make a slaughter house of Grcoce,
now that our troops arc about to ho withdrawn
from Portugal. We should not bo surpris
cd if, with the consent of our Allies, a British
forre to the same amount was sent to clear the
Morea of anv remnant of tho barbarians, and
secure Attica and the Peloponnesus against
attack. The policy of such an expedition
must, howover, bo governed by circumstances.

HERE AS, it appears that the Act entitled an

and amend an Act to impose an additional Tax on Ped

ber, 181H, has beerf generally evaded by Pedlars and Iti
nerant Traders, and no Tax has been paid to tho State
by a large portion of those pernoiifi, from the want of
information on tho part of the Comptroller General: —
Be it therefore resolved, That it shall be the duty of the
Comptroller General, to publish, quarterly, in ono of the
public Gazettes of Milledgevillc, August a, Savannah,
Darien, and Athens, the names of all Pedlars and Itine
rant Traders, who have taken out a licence from him
for that purpose.
And he itfttrthtr resolved, That it shall be the duty of
all civil officers in the dillbrent counties in this State,
to demand of all Pedlars and Itinerant Traders, whether
they have obtained a licence from the Coinptroller, in
conformity to the. provisions of the above recited Act,
Und if such Pedlar, or Itinerant Trader, shall refuse to
