.cftiaint and forfeiture of
< property, and bar cheititro
duftion ot this defcripiion of
domdtics. Already we have fo
many of them, that I fear the
evil has taken its root. We
ihould alfo reflect that it is not
- our policy to drain our fitter
ila'.ee too much of this kind of
property.
In for mationhaving becncom
municated to me from a highly
refpeclable fource, that an at
tempt would in all probability
. be made to land in this date, a
huge number ofFrenrlj negroes,
commonly called Brigan Is, ant 1
feeling it iny incfnpenlable duty
to adopt meal ores to pn vent tiae
introduction of a Banditti fo
dangerous to the peace and tran
quility of the ftate—l accord
ingly ordered Major General
back for,, to take fuch fteps as
he fnould deem requilitc to
afford the fcacoaft the neceffary
protection, and to caufe the
eariieft information to be afford
ed of their approach—and every
refiHance to be cxercifcd in cafe
of their being landed by fort e.
The cxpence may be confider
abic, but no calculation can be
formed of that which a landing
of this let fb hoftile to order
would have occafioned, whatever
the amount may be the precau
tion is well worth it, and I have
promifed ic dia l be defrayed by
the government, and I hope it
will be provided for. I have
the fatisfallion of hearing that
ftvcral of our litter dates have
been equally watchful to pre
vent the landing of this Banditti
on their fhores.
The fecretary of date, in
conformity with the inftru&ions
pf the Legidature, entered into a
contraCl with Meffrs. Seymour,
Woolhopterand Scebbins, print
ers of Savannah, for the print
ing and binding of 2000 Vo
iumes of Marbury and Craw
ford’s Digcd of the Laws of
the State. The contrail was
prefented to me and met with
my approval, from a conviction
that the utmoft had been done
;o obtain the lowed terms, but
notwithdanding the cod will ex
ceed the appropriation of the
laft feffion, and will require that
provifion be made for irs dif
charge. The 2coo Volumes
were by contrail to be delivered
at Louifvdlle, by the find of
November next, and I have
every reafon to believe it will
be compiled with.
Agreeably to a refolution of
the Legidature at their fefiion
iu June lad, 1 ift’ued an order
dire ding that all claims fhculd
be exhibited to the Executive
Departnu nt, which the citizens
Litis date have againft the
Creek nation of Indians for
property plundered. A confi
derable number have in confe
quence been collected, and I
would recommend that a fche
dole of the whole property con
tained in the various claims be
made out, with the value an
nexed and held in rtadinefs to
be demanded at the firil treaty,
which may be held with the
Creeks, conceiving ic the only
_ J
means lerr, by which we may
obtain of them a fuitable con
fideration in did barge thereof,
and thereby cdbrd the iufierers
jufticc.
Thl noted' received at -the
fale of the Indian goods in the

time due, I directed thefn to be
placed in the hands of die foli
ciior general for recovery.
