Captain Davis states, that the ]
friendship of the citizens of the U. '
States i» courted by the most mar
ked civilities —the people seeming
naturally to depend on us for aid
and assistance in the work under
taken.
The revolutionary spirit extends
over the whole province. The
governor and the principal officers
hsve been shipped off'.
The policy of Spain has been to
keep the world in profound igno
rance respecting her American co
lonies. On reienng to ten or 12
treatise* on modern geography we
find little more menu on of Carac
cus than its name and situation.—
We are informed however, that
the province t* about 4-uo miles
long, and from 150 to 200 broad ,
and contains many large and popu
Iqus cities and towns. A gentle
man who has frequently been in
that country, states, that the capi
tal, St* Leon de Camccas, contains
40,000* inhabitants, and Victoria,
Valencia and Barcelona about 20,«
000 each—Laguira, Cumana and
Porto Cavello are populous and
I thriving places on the sea coast. —
The interior country is mountai-
I neous with large Iruitful vallies,
I producing an abundance of every
thing.
I The whole population of the
I tract of countries engaged in this
1 revolution is supposed to amount
to a million of souls.
I * The statement of the population
I of these cities is, most probably,
arnch over rated.

colledtively with tne
members of Congrcfs who
think with them, before we
adventure into the hazadous
and probably tempeftous sea
of new principles. Georgia
has lately been represented
in Congress by an undivided
ticket, composed of men
tried in their country’s l'er
vice, and proven to be fun
damentally found in their
principles ; if then any of
those faithful servants de
cline serving their country
again, let the people look to
their interests, and beware
how they adt, leit in their
zeal to serve their friends
they fully the purity and
republican character of owr

. Messrs. Starnes & Co.
By giving the following
lilt of candidates to repre
j lent the State of Georgia in

George M. Troup, Rep.
Bowling Hall, Rep.
Elijah Clarke, Federal
John Forfyth Fed.
John Elliott Fed.
From the above lift it
would seem that the Fe
deralists intend making a
formidable Hand at the en
suing election. The mino
rity men have transfufed
new life over the despairing
spirits of their party, like
the criminal smarting un
der the scourge of justice
smiles with: ferocity at the
appearance of a new bravo.
Citizens of Georgia ! awake
I from your torpor —“ A
wake ! arise ! or the Philis
tines ‘will be upon you.”
It has been too much the
cuftotn among some peo

j quire into the political prin
ciples of the man whom
they are going to support.
■ I intreat you fcllow-citi

j Enquire who are the can
didates, and what their po
litical principles, and their
motives. The federalilts &

office hunters, who have dis

which they fetout in search
of, and now byway of re

By last Evening'\s Mail,
Washington City, June 13.
7he John Adams arrived.
We are at length enabled
to announce with certainty
the arrival of the John A
dams, at Annapolis, after a
long and boisterous passage.
She left Havre the 24th of
April, 6c met withalmofla
constant fucceflion of weft
crly winds during the voy
age.
Captain Fenwick, the
bearer of defpatches from
France, arrived in this city
last evening. The contents j
of the dispatches have not j
transpired.
We learn from Capt. Fen
wick, that Gen. Armstrong,
our minister in France, had
proposed returning to the
U. States in the John A
dams, but had found lierac
commodation inconvenient
for his family. It was un
derstood that he had taken
his paftage in a veflel to fail
from Bordeaux, and indeed
that part of the baggagehad
been already forwarded to
that place.
Captain Fenwick brings
no continental news of im
portance, which has not
been anticipated by other
arrivals.

Spanijh America—Declared
Independent .
By the arrival of the brig
Thomas, capt Ingram, from
Cumana, we have been po
litely favored with the fol
lowing important ftatc pa
per, iftued by the supreme
government of Carraccas,
which we hasten to lay be
fore our readers :
Declaration 0) Independence .
It has pleased Almighty
God to grant toevery coun
ty alike the natural right
of its own fovercignty,
These provinces, planted
by Spain, foftered and pro
tected by her power, have
and of the right ought to
have lubmitted to her gui
dance and direction during
the period of their infancy,
when from imbecility and
wyaknefsthey were incapa
-1 hre oftheirown government
And protection,
r But Spain, deprived of her
[king by the unparalelled
j perfidy of the Emperor of
[ the French, her European
state vanquilhed by his
; treachery and by his arms,
and the ancient lawful and
acknowledged government
of the country dellroyed by
the violent outrages of his
! languinary policy, there ex
! ifts neither reason, right nor
justice for continuing our
dependence on a powet that
has noexiftence but memo
ry ; policy and fclf preser
vation therefore demand that
we Ihould provide for our
common fafety and the pro
tection of these provinces by
taking into our own hand
j the natural sovereignty of
the country.
The period has at length
arrived when these United
Provinces pofteis both the
strength and the power to
protect themfelvcs. With a
population of nine millions |
of inhabitants, with an ex
tent of fertile territory supe
rior to any empire on the
globe, and abounding with
all the riches that bounteous
nature ever bellowed on the
human race, it would be
contrary to found polioy, in
the prelent state of the world
to submit, and we are deter
mined no longer to submit to
the denomination oj any Euro
pean or foreign power what
ever.
For whilst a lawful gov
ernment existed in Spain,
j and her legitimate king fat
| upon her throne, we have
ever been loyal to his per
son and faithful to his gov
ernment, and our treasures
have been the only support
of the European Monarchy I
6c its allies, whilst we have
been diltrefled by a war in
which we had no interest
whatever, and our country
drained of those riches which
nature has bellowed upon
the inhabitants of America,
for their own happiness,
support and defence.
Under these considerations
and to prevent the inevitable
and ruinous consequences of
falling under the yoke of the
Emperor of the French, the
tyrant of Europe, and the
opprelfor of Spain —We the
Spanish provinces in Ame
rica declare ourselves a free
fovercign and independent
people, not acknowledging
the dominion of any power
on earth, refuting fubmifii
on, and denying and repell
ing the authority of whate
ver nation may attempt do
minion over us. This we ;
unanimoully engage and 1
pledge ourselves to maintain ]
and support with our lives,
our jortunes and our sacred
honors , calling upon every
inhabitant in the provinces
to aid and lupport in carry
ing into effect this, our lau- ,
dable and just rcfolution, &
eftabliftiingtfor ourfclvcs &
our posterity a free, equita
ble and independent govern
ment, that lliail secure our
happiness & give us a place
of honor and refped among
the independent nations of
the earth. And we do ear
nestly entreat all foreign na
tions to acknowledge and
guarantee our independence,
and to favor us with such
alliance & aftiftance as may
enable us to defeat the de
signs of the enemies of our
country.
Bv thus disavowing our
dependence on Spain, we
solemnly ap peal to Heaven
for the re&itude of our in
tentions, and we do protest:
before the sacred majesty of
God himfelf, that in all our
measures we have ever been
aduated by motives pure &
honorable, and that we have
no other dclign in view than
the preservation ofourfelves
and the protedion of our
common country. And we
do moil humbly fupplicatc
that being who decides the:
late of nations, to smile on
our exertions, and to bless
and proted this, our new ef
tabliihed empire.
COMMUNICATION.
DIED fuddenlv in Columbia county oft
Sunday the 1 7th inflant, Mr. JOHN MAO
INTOSH, a native of Scotland i though long
a resident of Georgia. He Ha* left two
Ivautiful female children to bemoan the loft,
and to miss the carcfTes of a doating parent
Mr. Macintosh was well known iu thia
and the adjoining Hate, having Itcen long
engaged in an extenfiv* mercantile concern
in Savannah.
To draw the chara&ef of thia good in 4
amiable man would require the pen of gcui
us, but we all know that he Was universally
ad nired hy thofc who can appreciate real
worth : p« fit fled of talents that romman
tled refpedk, united with uufhaken integrity.
He was affable in his manners, cheerful in
his disposition, and kind, to an extreme—a
gentleman, a scholar and a fleadfalt friend.
In the (incercr movements of his loul so ge
nerous was he that he would patronize the
poor even if shades of deformity obfeured
their characters, and who will doubtlefa
treat his memory with ingratitude and ne«
gledt. Still the memofy of Mr. Macinti.fl*
will becheridicd by the good of every party
or denomination who were acquainted witty
him. If he had failings, (and who an ong ua
I are found altogether without them ?) they
were at lead of that denomination that could
iojnre no one but hianfelf, and in charity we
may draw a veil over them— no failing*
which Mr. Macintflt would commit couid
tarnifli the fplendour of his virtues.
