To provide f >r the temporary diposal of i of the improvements and possessions purchas- from certain Cherokee Indians aod resi- ^ glen's. The House went into committee of the nhole, Mr Bates in the Chair, on tlie bill to purvey and lay off in districts and lots, that J*art of the territory of this State, which was nrrjnired from the Creek Indians, in the occu pancy of (lie Cherokee Indians And also to survey and lay off into districts that portion of the territory of this Slate now in the ocruoan cy cf the Cherokee tribe of Indians, for the purpose of more effectually extending and cn forcing the laws of Georgia in that part of the State, and to authorize the disposing thereof when the Indian right of occupancy shall nave been extinguished. And having spent some time therein, the Speaker resumed the Chair and Mr. Bates, from the committee reported progress, and asked leave to sit again, which was agreed to. hy the Minister of the Interior, who formerly announced that a commission had.been appoint ed The next question that arises, is whether the Belgians will submit to these proposals. It will be seen by the details given below, that the insurgents have become so formidable as to declare thetnsolVes independent, and it is therefore quite pro^uble they will not now Ji 3 . ten to any terms but of an absolute recogni tion of their independence, without acknowl edging a mere nominal fealty to the King. In such an event, the latter svill be guided by circumstances. He would be unwilling to loose half of his kingdom—its fairest portion —without a struggle. But it will become him to weigh well his own power, before he appeals to the last resort of Kings.—Cour. The revolution in the Netherlands.—The spirit of hostility to the existing dynasty hourly in creased. The separation of Holland 4r Belgium was the rallying cry —The interesting details, from the Brussels papers under date of 9th and 1 Oih Sept, occupy many columns—they con tain animated appeals to the patriotism and courage of the people to sustain their rights at all hazards, declaring that they are the strong est party—that the government has lost all moral power—that it is on the people's side— that the army is nothing—for the Belgian sol dier w ill not shed the blood ol his brethren— All the provinces are declared to be in insur rection, the towns and garrisons only excepted, and that theirs was a constrained obedience At the states General were to assemble in Brussels on the 13th of Sept it was supposed that no decisive events would occur before that was accomplished. On the 8th Sept, by invitation of the Etat Major ot the Burgher Guard, a meeting of the members of the states Gem ral present at Brussels, was held at Town Hall, to concert measures essential to the crisis. Alter an ani mated discussion, itwas unanimously agreed us necessary, and a committee of satiety was ap. pointed, charged especially with the following objects. 1. To watch over the maintiunano of the Dynasty. 2. To insure the maintaiu- ance of the principle of the separation of the North and South. 3. To take care of the in terests of Commerce and Manufactures. 1 liGse points being established, it was re solved that this conimiitee be nominated, m conjunction with the Burgher Guard, the Go vernmeut ot the 1 roviuce, and the Regency ot the city These propositions were concurred iu promptly, and a committee of eight was ap pointed next day. bkzubdosviuub SATURDAY, NOVEMBER *0, 1830. FORSXGN. New York. Nov. 4. STILL LATER FROM ED ROPE. The packet ship Erie, Cupt. Funck. arriv- ied last evening troui Havre, in the remarkably short passage ot twenty Jour days. By ti is ar Irivnt, the Editors ol ihe Commercial Adver- miser have receive hies ot Pans papers to the )th of October inclusive. * [The Boston papers of yesterday, contain ■jU'iulon dates ol the 8l'i ot October, anti Liv erpool of the 9th, brought to the port by the • hip Perfect, which sailed on the 10th ] The general complexion of things m France Was becoming more lavorahle. The Pope llad acknowledged the new government; and it was confidently believed that in a very short time every government in Europe would have Jninisters accredited to the court ot Charles frFhitippe. Indeed the French Revolution .seems to bo universally acceded to—a conse quence, probably, of certain indications among ? their own respective people, that it would be ^unsafe to do otherwise. Prussia is represent ed to have gone further than a mere acknowl edgement, und to have approved ot uon-mier- Ivention in the affairs of other nations, stipula ting, at the same time, not to interfere herself [in the affairs of the Netherlands. It this be Irue. it accounts at once for another part ol llic news by this arrival, v\z—That :he King oj |the Netherlands has appointed a commission to prepare the project oj a taw for the separation ]pf the two kingdoms upon terms of amicable ac- rmrnodation. 'Phis part is officially announ ied from the Hague, under date of October id. The communication was first made to a meting of the members of the States Gene ral from Belgium only, who were convened by special invitation for the purpose ot hearing the proposition. The proposition at first sub milted, was to appoint the commission under Ihe Prince of Orange. The two Chamber-- 'ere united at twelve o’clock #n the day a- >ove mentioned, when the proposal was dis- jussed and rejected, by a vote of 47 to 10— [he Dutch members undoubtedly voting a- ftriust it. The session was thereupon closed MR. RANDOLPH IN RUSSIA. The Opj: losition Prints, not Satisfied with calumniating Air. Randolph on hi* leaving the U. States, are grossly misrepresenting hitn i he moment he sets lout in Russia. The New York Jou'-ml of Commerce, professes loderive trotn another ‘intelligent ami highly respecta ble source.” a statement of Mr. R’s conduct, which is circulated to show him off as not only highly ridiculous,” bit even us "quite irration al ” No sooner is the game started, than the other partiz.an prints are following up—even the Neiv-York Intelligencer with “all the de cency,” slyly slips in the article —And this loo upon anonymous authority! The New York Evening p st or Friday List, thus notices what we no doubt, is a most unwarrantable ruisrepre sentation: ‘A letter from St. Petersburg!! is published in this morning’s Journal of Com merce, containing a quantity of gossip respect mg the arrival otMr. Randolph at the Russian capitol. The same letter was published yes terday in the Philadelphia National Gaz* tt< w here it gives occasion to an article in abus* of Air. Randolph, in juxtaposition with anoth er in defence of Talleyrand. We are not dis posed to quarrel with any person ,»bout hi taste in respect to public ministers. For our own part we must confess that we pn.ler tin honester man. As (o the stones told in the letter written about Mr. Randolph, we have only to remark that letters have beon received in this country from persons of the highest re speclaWdjty, who made the passage with Mr. Randolph, and who speak in high terms of his courteous and engaging manners, which won tiie regard of ail on board the vessel.—Rich mond Enquirer. The New-YorkPost has the following para graph on the same subject— Mr Randolph—We learn that private letters have been received from St. Peters burgh, which state that Mr. Randolph has been obliged, hy ill health, to leave St Peters- hurgh on his return home, by way of the South of Europe. The state of his health was such as to rentier it improbable that he would ever reach the United States. In our last paper we observed that—“what the Jour nal had said about the excitement on the subject of the Indian lands is not true.” The senior Editor of ‘.hat paper hascaHed on us, and in a friendly manner, stated that we had misconceived them, and that they did not say what we imputed to them—that they did not say there was an excitement on the Indian question. We cerUinly never wish to misconceive our opponents-—and wherever we do, we should take 0|i»rb more pleasure io correcting the error, than in falling into it. The Journal did not say there was an excitement on the Indian question, nor did we design to give any erroneous*impression^ regard to what it did say These are its words—“ft 1 Georgia (say they, speaking of the Tariff) we have been,' so far pretty quiet. Another object has withdrawn the public view from tbe oppressive effects of the Tariff. If it had not bren for the Cherokee question, the excitement about the Tariff would have been as great here as in South Carolina.” Without looking lo Iheir particular mode of expression, we had given the impression left upon °ur minds by the idea conveyed. Nor did we conceive that the Editors of that paper would have been scunphi- losophic, as to suppose a state of mind quite pacific on one subject should have excluded excitement on another. However, we are perfectly willing to admit that ve have misconceived them an this subject. It was notaur ob ject to show that they had said there was excitenent on the Indian question—but to show that in the abenceof excitement, it was their object to create one on tie sub ject of the Tariff. This was our object in that part of our article, and we still believe that what we have saioin re gard to their intention to create an excitement is true. Legislative.—The Indian Land Bill is progressingslow- ly before the Legislature. A substitute has been ofered, which alters, in some material points, the original Bill submitted by tbe Committee on the Slate of the R. public. Great diversiiy of opinion prevails among the members on the subject. Tbe most important matter now before the Legislature is a report and bill for the creation of a system of com mon schools throughout Ihe State. We are pleased with the general provisions of the Bill. Any thing that may operate as a beginning in this great cause ivill be a great public benefit. We expect to give the whole report and biil in our next. Whenever the operation of this system is commenced in our Slate, it may be regarded as one of Ihe proudest days of Georgia’s existence. The bill was drafted by Mr. Singleton of Jackson. VVe regret to say that a bill for (he creation of a Court °f Errors h is been lost in Senate by a constitutional ma jority against it!! There is a filse notion prevailing that such a Court would benefit the Lawyer. Quite the re verse. Th-*. present “glorious uncertainty of the la a” produces the lawyers harvest. Create a tribunal wbicu will settle- principles, and yon diminish law suits. Create ^ueh a tribunal—and you drive him to his books—increase -da expenses—and decrease the number of his fees.— Create such a tribunal, and tire people wdl soon begin to linow their rights. We regard the creation of such u Court as next in importance to the free school system. fha Cold vljne Bill is exciting considerable interest. I is fate cannot yet be determined. Extract of a Letter from an Officer attached to the Ship Concoid, dated St. jBctcrsburg, Au gust 15. “Wo nrrivpd here on the 9th, after the re markably short passage of 42 days from the U niter! States, and of these having ben 11 days at anchor. On tbe 7th we passed a steam boat off the mouth of the Gulf of Findland, which had Mr. Middleton on board as passen ger, tor Hamhurg. “I nrn almost sorry that we have arrived- here, as we will lose Mr. Randolph, to whom we have all become very much attached — Mr Randolph left ns on Tuesday last for this pkice, under a salute of 13 guns, and the yards manned. When about to enter the boat he stopped apparently much affected, and took off his hat,—“God bless you ! Shipmates one and all, high ami low:” were the last words of this kind but eccentric man.” FROM THE NEW-YORK JOURNAL OF COMMERCE As this extraordinary personage has been deputed to represent the American people at the Court of Russia, the public without doubt have some curiosity to learn whether in ful filling his high functions he is likely to elevate or depress our national character in the view of foreigners. The information detailed be low, is communicated to us from an intelligent and highly respectable source, and cannot be doubted. F OUR mouths after date application will be made lo tbe honorable the Inferior Court of Henry county, WOOD’S RESOLUTIONS. We redeem our pledge given the lust week to lay lief ire our readers >he proceedings of the Sen.it-- of Georgia on Major Wood’s patriolic resolutions. It is highly impor tant at this period, to have such an exnression of the opinion of our legislature. It will be seen that the Res olutions passed with one or two additions, such as accord with the views of the Clark party and their understanding of Jackson’s administration. It is equally important in these times of deep agitation of the political elements, Hint the people, not only of Georgia, but of tbe Union, should shew who among us stand up for the repose of the Union, and who hold tenets adverse to the opinions of Jef ferson. Madison and other eminent Republicans of our constitutional epoch, Let ihe people look at these Resolutions and attentively scan them. L-t them seriously ask themselves, is there any thing in them that any friend of public repose and devoted attachment t j the Union can object to? If there is not, then tel th. m ask why should certain members of the Senate iiave exiiausted all their talents, ingenuity and address, io prevent their passage—lo alter them and to substitute others objectionable in their nature? The preamble recites the truth, and why should it be stricken out? The resolutions expresssound republican doctrines—why -houid they be altered or voted do^n? They express tU true opinions and proper feelings of the South—why should (hey not lie adopted? As men never act without a mo tive, we conceive that but one of two lair answers can be given to theso questions, viz —that this opposition proves .hat the very state of things exists which the gentlemen of ihe Troup party in the Senate deny, to wit—the expres sion of feelings i.nd opinions in Georgia and >outh Caro- !ina which go far to threaten the peace and harmony of ■or beloved country-—or if it does not—that that party is viiling to bring about such a state of feelings. What Uier motive could gentlemen have for opposing Resolu tions so wholesome in doctrm*—yet firm and manly—;f t were not that itiey enteitain such opinions as tend to xcilemcnt and discord? These arc momentous matters—matters which have agitated our whole Union—mature which have brought South Carolina to the very fhresbhold of a separation from the Union—matters which have called forth the ven erable Madison, in the evening of his days, to say to the troubled waters—“peace, be still.” Tue mind of Wash ington, by a kind of poliiicai inspiration looked fjrwanl to the very state of things which now exists, and sol iiin- !y warned us against their dangerous character and ten dency. His fatherly admonitions have been forgotten. And we shall not be surprised if we should shortly, as the Athenian said of Mr. Jefferson’s letter hear, that 7Vcnp was belt* r calculated to judge of these things, than Wash* ington. When Mr. Adams, with bis “light-houses in the. sky” and his sweeping constructions of the Constitution was in office, there might have been more palliation for such a state of effervescence. But it is wrong at all limes. It is at this time especially most ill-.imcd ai d out of place. That it should exist when Jackson is in the chair, checking the licentiousness of constructive powers and the prodig ility of Treasury disbursements, kept up hv them—seems to us to be a fundamental objection to the very principles of the Constitution and an opposition to tbe very government, as it now .exists The opposars of these resolutions maintain doctrines which carry us back to the old confederacy—nay, they go beyond it, and assume powers in the individual States not permitted to them even by the articles of confederation. These doc trints show to us conclusively that there are principles taking root among us, to which tne people cannot look with eyes too jealous, and which they cannot too soon eradicate and destroy. We shall, continue this subject. Temperance.—The Georgia Temperance Society met at the Methodist House ol worship in this place on Thursday evening last. Mr. Reed, who was expected, did nut appear. Mr. Sherwood opened the meeting with singing and prayer—after whieh a very able and impressive discourse, selected by Mr. Rred, was road to a crowded and attentive congregation. Mr. Stocks, President of the Senate, was then called io tbe chair.— hereupon Mr- Cobb, Senator of Houstoi, offered the first resolution below, which he and Mr. Nesbitt, Sena tor from Morgan, supported by very appropriate an«l im pressive remarks. Mr. Polhill offered the second resolu tion prefaced by a few remarks, in which h« was seconded by Mr Jenkins, Representative from Riciynond, by a for cible and eloquent appeal. The R .^solutions were then unanimously adopted, and the meeting adjourned. Resolved, That the concurrence of pubic sentiment in behalf of the cause of Temperance, furniibes a sufficient guarantee that its triumph will be complete throughout the world. Resolved, That this Society in view of the g*od already effected by Auxiliaries, will endeavor to establiska Society in every county in the State; and farther, that ail Socie ties be requested to contribute by the 1st of April next, such sums as they »re able, in order to procure a travel ling agent to accomplish so desirable an object. ended on the first and last ranges, are set down. The whole work is well executed and deserves the public pa tronage. The size is 39 inches one way and three Jett the other. Price of pocket map f 4—rollers |i. Sherwood's Gazetteer.-—Another emission of the se- cond edition of this useful work, has been received and i* now for sale at Crafts & Green’s in Milledgeville. It affords us pleasure to see tbe local interests A topographi cal knowledge of our State attracting public attention, and progressing, as it has tor a few years past. To the Editor of the Federal Union. Sir,—A sickly writer in the last Recorder seems to bewail most piteously that Franklin College is about be ing elevati d to the diguity of a Stole institution, and lose tbe character of a party engine, that has heretofore disgraced it, and rendered it justly odious in the sight of the people of Georgia. From tbe whining, hypocritical cant of the article in question, it reminds me of a cer tain “Justitia” of antecedent memory, who threatened to withdraw from the College tbe support of his brethren of the Troup party, because of tbe appointment of two Clark men by the Trustees, the past summer. I then suspected that objection to be a mere cloak to conceal real hostility to tiie Institution, and I cannot help be lieving “a plain dealer” to be prompted by the same motivea. It is well the trustees did not consult this paragon of philanthropy in ihe course they pursued, and it is likely the omission to do so is one cause of his an gry phil ippic. To every man of reflection it must be obvious that the course adopted by the Trustees is the only one that could continue to the Stale an Institution intended in its conception to benefit tne people thereof; and that it was therefore necessary both parties should be fairly and equally represented in its government.— “ A plain dealer” may rest assured that ‘ certain Clark leaders” are not driven to hunt for office through the “ instrumentality of certain Troup leaders.” They neither depend upon Iheir smiles, nor fear their frowns. The withholding of an appropriation from a College used to benefit one party at the expense cf the other, is not the only patriotic act which the majority in the Sen ate have had to perform. If they have found themselves “ un* xpectedly” in possession of power in that branch of the General Assembly, they bare judiciously used it to preserve the State councils from being further dis graced, by a system of legislation loo Ion# practiced by their opponents, lo disfranchise one half of the people of Georgia. I have no doubt this secret enemy of the College would rather cause the remaining buildings to >hare the fate of that which has been burnt, than accept an appropriation based upon equal rights—and it would he a cour-e worthy of so capable an adviser. It is well known that the Trustees have thought proper to act up on different principles—and they have acted correctly, whether thev have been forced into measures, or have been governed by the deliberate conviction that the honor and prosperity of the Slate required it of them. By the plan proposed, the board wiil consist of twenty-eight trustees, one half, of the Clark party, the ether half, ol tbe Troup party. This «ill e fair and (quitable—conli dence will be restored to the institution, ana the respec tive parties will he actuated by an honorable rivalry to sustain its reputation, and extend its usefulness. But, asks this exquisite, “ Will the Troup party sanc tion such a shameful bargain and sale of a most impor tant institution ?’* How very like a whale! Will this disinterested patriot, this second ‘‘pink of purity” con descend to produce the title deeds of the Troup party to Franklin Colbge? Will he be pleased to mention the time, place, ami manner, when, where and how, the Col lege became ihe property of one party to the exelusion of the other ? I had always though* the Clark party paid tax#s as cheerfully, and as much of them too, as the Troup party, for the support of the State Government; and that it was appropriated to build and sustain the College, without discriminating from which party the money pro ceeded. I, for one, should be glad to know when the Troup parly bought the Institution, whom it was pur chased from, and what consideration was paid for it. Again asks this profound interrogator, “ will the Clark party sanction such a disgraceful use of th«-ir power in the Senate?” Although this writer betrays in every word the petulance of an overgrown spoilt baby. I will pass it by in consideration of tbe punishment he endures from the mortified spirit so Hi disguised, and re ply, that the Clark party have reason to feel proud of their Representatives in the present Legislature. Thev have acted in a manner that entitles them to the warmest ap probation of their constituents, in refusing to support a'College, heretofore notoriously hostile to the interests of one hall of the people of Georgia, until abuses have been reformed, and tbe Institution saved irom the graip of those who were fast sinking it to the levc! of a politi cal factory. The Clark party in the Legislature have performed an act that entitles them to the lasting or a ti- tude oi the whole people of the State. The power 5 they possess in the Senate has been used to crush a hy dra-headed monster, that preyed upon the liberties of tbe people, and gradually accumulated into the hands of mi all grasping arist cracy, a monopoly ol the fountain of knowledge, which would have been soon forever closed to all but the favoured disciples of the political Judas of oorcountry. “The Clark party” throughout the State will therefore “sanction such an honest and creditable us* of thtir power in the Senate.” Who is this thattnlks of the “ambition,” “caprice,” and private interests of a few individuals ?” A man who claims the University cf the People of Georgia, as tiie property of a few ambitious, capricious, and privqtely interested persons—who dues so to sustain the “ ambi tion” “caprice” and “private interest” ofa few dema gogues of the monkey system, that care not what becomes of the people or their interest", so thattheir plans of seif aggrandtz* ment, are attended with success. Let the people look to it, and thank those who have prevented dieir rights from being nullified bv the most iniquitous system of proscription ever attempted to be exercised up on a people professedly govern, d by laws guaranteeing to the poor, however humble bis lot, equal rights with the purse proud Aristocrat, A FLAIN TALKER. Wellborn and Green’s Map.-— We have been politely presented by these gentlemen with Iheir new Map of Geor gia, which has been noticed in several papers.

I district lines accurately delineated and numbered, and the November 13 19 4m | numbers of tbeiots at whieh the survey commenced usd FOR THE FEDERAL UNION. 7o the Baptist in general, and in particular the Flint River Association. I deem it expedient to lay before you the following explanation: Having ventured to write in the defence of certain sci ipture doctrines, and also lo give my views of .Associations; the motives which infl ienced me to write the defence, must be obvious to every true Baptist. Bui, as the motive which induced me to give my views of As sociations, may not be duly uppreciu ed, 1 have thought proper to adopt this method in order to remove suspicion (if any shall be entertained) from the minds of my breth ren, and that they may know that my design is not to weaken our energies, nor to dissolve our bond of Union, but my ardent desire is to strengthen it, and to preserve the harmonious relations of all our Churches through out the whole extent of our Union, and I have only writ ten for the express purpose of checking .buse and pre venting the increase of error. And in doing this. I have had occasion to refer to some of the proceedings of the General Association or State Contbntl n. I b.:v« ever doubted whether or not that institution would not prove in the end a disadvantage to tbe Baptist interest, which I do believe to be the - ause of Christ, and instead of my fears diminishing, they are increasing; for with painful regret 1 understood from time to time that a cer tain individual who was known to many to be in the con stant habit of preaching doctrine not held by ns as a denomination; yet was employed by that bodj to travel and preach. This has long bet a afflicting to me; and this individual with others, objected to the Macedonia Church being constituted with tiie other Churches, when the Yell, w River Association was constituted, because that Church said in her letter that she did not wish the association, if constituted, to be come a constituent member of the General Association, and that Church would positively have been rejected if her Delegates had not taken the responsibility upon them to erase and obliterate from the letter, tbe express will of the Church in that case. It is certain that a great many of our brethren have the same respect for Ihe resolutions passed at Avsociatiuns that they Iiave for any laws what ever, and in the case of licensing young Ministers, I have been told that they have had a retrospective opera tion—and believing that the opinion is increasing, and that it is thought by some that an association is a higher power or tribunal than the Church, and that it has now become customary to appeal from the decision of (he Cburch.-s to the Associalion, and if this opinion should become universal, tbe next thing as a matter vf coum, would be an appeal to General Association or Stale Convention, and I fear in time, there might be an appeal some where else—For notwithstanding I have confidence in the Baptists, yet when I remember that the first Gospel Church was a Baptist Church, and now when I look abroad upon the woiid and behold the crop that lias been produced inconsequence of error finding its way land flowing out of ihit Church, who can fail tame that St te high time to look to, aod contend for the digni ty of the Chureh, and if possible check the already float ing tide cf error, and bring things again within iheir proper bound!, that the-dignity-of the Baptist Chureh may be preserved iu ils original purity. *^s respects the name Association, I take no exceptions to it further than it has been perverted to erroneous purposes. However, I do prefer the name Union to it, for the reasons already assigned in my pamphlet, which is now hastening to meet the scrutinizing eye of the public. And if some of my Ministering brethren in reading the same, should find themselves reproved, 1 wish them to know that it is in tended for a warning to them and others to do so no more, and if my brethren should thi' k ti.a> I ought nut to expose their errors to the world, let them remember thatit is tl^ir public errors that an exposed and n l their private ones, and that the people of God have and should always do this to prevent the increase of abuse, and I think it now high time to give the check although, it may bt- unseasonable to some. I have heard complaints from various directions because of pamphlets being published instituting a free enquiry. In fact I believe that my pamphlet has been prejudged, and has produced nr ore excite meet in the minds of s<>me than Walkers celebrated fire rocket. All I have to say they are now ready to launch upon the jawing element of a distracted community—read them and if they are not worthy commit them to the flames. To the Flint River Association: I have to say that th> evidence handed me by one of the members of the Sharon Church, relative to (he course they pursued towards that Church, v.as ir> pa r t false and that I was imposed upon by it, the knowhge < t which I did not obtain until very lately; a‘nd it they should think me too hasty in noticing the business, that there was but one opinion know n to me, nod that w.:S common and is the one mentioned in my P; mnblet; but believing I was imposed upon with many others, I ft el it to be niy duty to inform the public in general, that I have been satisfactorily informed that instead of that Asso ciation assuming the government over tb< Shoroo Chinch, that upon the rejection of her le'ter, her Messt ngeis in sisted on the Association to appoint a committee to ex amine into their faith. Therefore, I hope what I have written will not go to the prejudice of that respeeta. to Association. , Th. n let it only remain as warning to uu all. f did intend to publish a copy of the piorerdings of the committee, which was handed me iiy one of the members of the Sharon Cb* ,r eh, but having shewn it lo two respectable members ot mat association, it may net be necessary ; but if that Association request it, I will publish it.
