Hamburg papers to the 4th, had been
received in London:
"They announce that Count Lolmu,
Ambassador Lxtrnordinnry from Fimice
to the < 'onrt of lleriin, was presented to
the King of I’russiu, on the 30th ult. (an
other account says the Ist till.) on which
occasion he delivered a loiter from Louis
I’liihp, iiiiuoun<*hig his accession to the
French throne, Both accounts agree in
stutingthul the Count was received in tin
most Haltering iiiaiiner. and received an
invitation to dine with the King. It is fur
ther staled that he was presented with
a rich Diamond snuff-box, and that, in
addition to these gracious marks, lie was
invited to attend the review, which is to
be held near Brunderburg. This intelli
gence is the more important, as the eon
duel of llitssia towards Fivnce was fully
Known to the king of I’russia at the time,
lytd it cannot he, therefore, said, that, the
latter acted in lids decisive manner he
tdl’e he had ah opportunity of ascertain

TJIB TARIFF.
Mr. MUUII AY mid on tlie table the
follow iug resolutions :
YV herons 11k* political crisis in our
own State, as well ns national atlUirs
has arrived, when a determinate and an
reserved expression of the sentiments of
the people, may correct erroneous im
pressions in our sister Slides, and remove
every delusion ofeiUiet'sell interested po
liticians. i • visionary men nt home, as to
the prevailing feelings ofthe citizens of
Georgia. And w hereas the recent events
iu an adjoining state, and the expression
of opinions in our own, bespeak unfa
vorable indications, to tlie continuance of
the peace, tranquility nnd happiness of
ourheloveil country, w Inch manifestation
of feeling is too particularly notorious to
he susceptible of miseonstruelioi :—ln
such impolitic us w ell ns dangerous dis
plays of impolitic as well as political ex
citement, every good citizen is bound by
those inestimable patriotic ties of feeling
to rally round onr national government,
which lias heretofore rellt'Cled such a
lustre over our political, moral, and civil
associations, us to elicit the admiration of
the w in-id.
And w hereas at this momentous peri
od. the people of Georgia, by their repre
sentatives, now assembled, unhesitating
ly avow a iii iu adherence to the princi
ples expressed in tlie following resolu
tions:
Be it therefore resolved by the Senate and
House of llcjrresndalives if the Stale if Ceor
wia in Central klssernldy met, and it is hereby
. o , midi/ resolved by the same. That the pre
sent federal constitution is the bond of
union between these United Slates.—
With a v ievv therefore to avoid all cause
of dissipation and complaint, it is essen
tial that the national government, in the
exercise of its powers, should, without
deviation, adhere to a-correct literal eou
sl auction of that instrument and carefully
avoid the usurpation of any right not cx
pres.-ip surrendered.
Krsi\ That though the Congress of
the U. Mates may legitimately raise a
revenue llv the support of Government:
vet in so duk'g, a just and prudent dis
cretion ought to he exercised, Oaslantly
keeping in view a fair and just equaliza
tion ofthe hmihetvs imposed amongst the
several States. Yet this principle has
been greatly disregarded, and experience
proves it,iu tlie existing tarilfoi' 1828.
That nv, manifestly unjust in its concep
tion. has also been partial in its opera
tion. and still continues its buncfn! pres
sure on the most vital interests of the
' (South while the people ol this Male, with
their accustomed patriotism, have yield
mi obedience to it, but they now urge in
the most emphatic terms, its modification
and better adaptation to tlie interest ol
the whole.
Unsolved. That Georgia .in common w ith
the Southern States,is fully convinced of
the importance of an early and success
ful extinguishment of the national debt,
as then the demand for revenue should
only he proportionate to the immediate
wants of the Government, and thus n
painful and prolific source of discord will
be removed, and tiie blessings of recon
dilation nnd harmony, again pervade the-
States in general.
Hesolvcd, That ns there are conflicting
opinions, as well as an avowed .hostility
ofthe people, against the assumption by 1
Congress, to apply the national resources l
to the purposes miscalled ‘•lnternal Im
provement," therefore tin's Legislature (
cannot forbear expressing their positive i
disapprobation of any such appropria- I
tions, until the constitution of the U. S I
is so amended as expressly to surrender •
the guaranty of the power now claimed, i
Resolved. That the people of Georgia (
contemplate with deep and ardent regret i
the frequent and open expressions, u»- 1
friendly to the perpetuation of our pro- ■
sent happy union. They nevertheless i
cannot now refrain from declaring it as I
their firm and solemn belief that thepre- ■
serration of the present General Govern I
meat, as based on the Federal I-oustitu- j
ion, is the rock on which our future safe
ly depends, and that on the annihilation t
of political sentiments, other than those i
pulri itieaily iriendiy to the continuance <
of this Government, not only depends the i
present, hut the futureexistenee. und Imp- i
piness of the people oflhcscll. S. That ;
a wise and prudent discrimination lie- i
tween feelings tending in their rouse- i
quenccs to Union or disunion, cannot be
too closely cherished and appreciated, us
the sole hope and safety of this republic.
Thnt disunion, it is firmly believed, will
bring in its train, discord, misery am! civil
war; and finally that the people of this
rotate deem those as their worst and bit-
Icrest enemies, who seek to sow the steeds
ofdisunion, and introduce the wretched
doctrines of nullification amongst them.
Jteeolvcd, That tlie people of Georgia, ]
by their i«presentntivcs, now in session,
v iew with deep nml increasing solicitude,
the re-election of Andrew Jackson to lltc
I’residency ofthe United Stull's, avow
ing an open and frank devoledacss ol
feeling to Itis- construction ofthe Federal
Constitution a regards internal improve
ment, and Itis administration generally.
A number oflocal matters wore acted
on. alien tiie Senate attended and the
House proceeded to the election ol a Sen
atorofthe United States’ Congress for
six years after the Ith of March lie :t. and
on (‘minting out the ballots it appeared
that J Forsyth wasduly elected.

The United States, in order to avert
the evils and unhappy difficulties which
now exist and are likely to continue, he
■ tween the Cherokee Indians, cast ofthe
.Mississippi and the surrounding states,
and with a view to promote the peace
and happiness of all concerned, propose
■ to enter into a compact or treaty with
• the Cherokee Indians on the following
terms, (to wit.)
Ist. The United States' propose to give
to them a country west ofthe .Mississip
pi, and without the limits of any of the
states or territories-of the United Stales,
which shall bu equal in value to the coun
try they leavf.
2d. They further propose to allow each'
and every warrior and widow, residing
within the stales of Alabama and Ten

consent can be obtained, and which we
have strong assurances can he.) a reser
vation oft wo hundred acres, w hich they
may occupy as long ns they choose and
when they choo-e to leave it, the United
Elates will pay them a lair price in cash
for it.

every individual who choose to become
citizens of the United States, and who
have arched to such a stale of improve
ment, as w ill enable them to sustain them
selves under the laws of the estates, a
reservation in fee simple.

to pay them for their stock (except hors- '

Special Agent.
New Echota, C. N.,2lst Oct. ISfiO.
Mr. Jrto Boss.
fc>ir—The Committee and Council, in
General Council convened, deem it ne
. cessary to exhibit a detailed statement of
1 their objections to the propositions sub
■ milled through you by the (Special Agent
i of Government. Col. John Lowrey. The
1 special Agent in his remarks was under
stood to say, that whenever the .Stale of
•i Georgia thinks proper to enter the terri
tories of litis nation, and survey it, the
: President would not interfere or prevent
• her-and that citizens of Georgia would
then draw for tho land agreeably to
their laws. In other words, they
would take it by force, without any
opposition from the General Govern
ment. We have not sought the difficul
ties. the special Agent has enumerated it*
hold relief, nor are we prepared to runa
way from the trials that beset ns; and if
any officers of the United States harbor
the expectation of driving a bargain with
us. by withdrawing the protection of tho
United States Guaranteed to ns by treaty,
wo can only say that they have only tu
continue their policy, until it leads ihcra
to n point, beyond which it will he in
vain to expect success; nml it is best
known to themselves how fur they wilj
go.
Reservations in fee have been offered,
to which we say, we have no disposition
to alter the extent of our reservation as
defined by former treaties—the limits of
the whole Cherokee nation. It is the de
sire of the Council, that the Special A
gent may receive this as an answer to
his propositions submitted for our consU
deration.
If it Is thought expedient on your part
to reply more fully to the communication
referred to, the Council can have no oh

mention that there were two splendid ;
musical clocks, made by .Mr. Uri Bin- ■

and are both useful and ornamental.—
They have cut glass columns, compound
thermometers, pendulums, folding chan-, ■
defiers, a grand barrel piano forte, all
made of rich cut glass, ami the whole |
reflected by mirrors. When lighted in ,
the evening, they appear very beautiful ;

MILITIA.
A morning paper says, several rcgi> f
meats in Massachusetts, which used to >
muster 1000 strong, have this year
brought to the field an average of scarce- J
ly a hundred men. One reason is, that ■'
all above the age of 30 arc exempted front y
duty; and another is, that the militia sys
tern has fallen into contempt. You might ;v
as well undertake a rail-road tothe uioon,
as attempt to support in this countvy, 011
institution which has lost the confidence I
of tlie people.
TAKEN UY SURPRISE.
At the time when Mr. Peal was exhibi- J
ling his beautiful picture of tlie Court ol
Death in Boston, he sent the late Rev
Dr. Osgood a ticket, on which was in
scribed, '‘admit tlie bearer to the Court
of Death. - ’ The old gentleman never
Imving heard of the picture, was utterly
confounded - ‘I expected to go befori
long,” said he—“but 1 was not prepared -
for so aln'jit a summons.”
