We would most earnestly pray that the kind assu rances of the friendship of the United Slates, by one whose examples are so worthy of imita tion, may never be passed over with an unfeel ing heart for the unfortunate Cherokees: and that all proceedings toward them may be di rected by justice and a sacred regard to trea ties. The Executive of the United States, dur ing the past summer, issued an order to the a- geot for our nation, changing the mode of pav ing the annuity, and providing fir its dis tribution among the individual-, averaging a bunt forty-two cents to each, contrary to the wed known wishes of the Cherokees, and their solemn protest against the measure, the stipulations of existing treaties, and the uni form practice of the Government, down to the payment of the last annuity in 1830. li is a stipend due to tin* nation, and has ever been Controlled by its authority. The Cherokee*- have a treasury, into which it is placed for the support of their Govern non?—“ a Government of Regular law,*’ modelled agreeably to and in pursuance of the knul and parental advise of President J ff rson, contained in a written address to the Cherokees, 9ih of January, 1809— and other national objects, by which means all are enabled t<» enjoy, in some degree, the benefits arising from its application; hut of what possible advantage w»ll it be, it paid as contemplated, when hundreds wiil have a hundred or more miles to travel, neglecting ail other business, to obtain the small sum of about forty-two cents 1 But it cannot he : we pro test against any alteration, and humbly hope that you will direct the payment as heretofore, and iu conformity with the treaties under winch the fund is stipulated. We are aware (hal it has b.*en asserted that the chiefs and others speculate upon this fund, but it is not so ; even if it were, would it justify a departure from the course which the pledges of the United language of one so truly the friend of the weak and the oppressed as the Chief Magistrate of the United States in 1308. is too explicit to pass unnoticed on this occasion. To the chiefs of the upper Cherokee towns lie spoke as follows : ‘ You complain that you do not re ceive your just proportion of the annuities we pay your nation—that the chiefs of the lower towns take for them more than their share — Mv children, this distribution is made by the au ikority of the Cherokee nation, and according to their own rules, over which we have no control We do our duty in delivering the conumes to the head men of the nation and we pretend to WUMihyrtii^uiitA Jhaiu. to.j»a m rijrht< sr 9£. dwtAiinF sig iod Ti» J ff*r>on, to the upper Cherokees d ited 4th May, 1808 ) That tlie same mod* may still he continued is all wo ask, and it is anxiously desired by the whole nation. Since that year there have been “ no complaints” on the subject; why then, at this late period, when civilization has taught betterthe manner iu which this small sum should b«< applied is the change iu the mode of payment, to be made. During the last session of Congress, a bit) was passed, whose object, as we understood was to enable the President of the U.

It is not desirable foi us to remoo'lrate upon this occasior, hut we hope that the kind mdulgenceof your honorable It.>dies will he extended while we state some of the many Cases of *13 ction and oppression which have occurred since the passage of tin; art A ray of hope, in the muLt of great ap prehension, seemed to shed its glimmering li^bt on the minds of the Cherokees to learn from the speeches of the Georgia delegation and others, iu Congress, that nothing should he practised on the Indians in the operation of the lull, or in connexion with it, that benevolence and humanity could censure ; that neither force nor injustice was contemplated by the Government, or the authorities of Georgia and that they should he left to the exercise of their own free will.

By the Slop Moscow arrived last night, we have received the London Times to the 13th alt. containing tho lull dela.ls of the RISING IN POLAND, mentioned by us on Saturday, From the Journal de Paris 14t^. Revolution in Poland.—It was in the eve ning of trie 29th November that the insurrec tion was comm .need by tht under Ensigns. It was excited by the abhorence which they had to witness the ignominious death of 12 students, who had been sentenced by a court martial to be shot for having sung the Marsel lois hymn. The first point to which the En signs directed their course was to the arsenal: they took possession of that post, which con tained 70.000 guns, and 100 pieces of cannon. The Grand Duke Ccnstanline was then at Bel v<-d r, about three miles from Warsaw. The light continued during the whole of the night, and on the following morning the people re mained masters of the city. The Regiment of Engineers was the first to revolt. The French tri-colored cockade was instantly adopted with cries of‘Vive Lafayette,” the friend ot K-js- wtiich m part will he found below. The French Ex-Ministers were removed on ciusko, lorever! They went to the house o to and also compelled them to give their bond in the sum of one thousand dollars, for their personal appearance before his next court, to an* sw r the charges of violating the writ finjun r tion aforesaid.

The Prince and his troop were therefore obliged to retreat by the route of Volbynia He was at Gera on the 4ih Dec. It would appear, from the course ofhis march, that it. is his intention to cross th* Vtstu !a at Pulawy, and proceed on to Lublin, a Polish city situated on the road to Volbynia and Lem berg, tiie capital of sinudnan Galicia. This retreat is the result of a Contention, and is ex ecuted without any hostility between the Rus sians and Poles. It seems certain the Russians were not ani mated by any enthusiastic feelings against the liberty of Poland, and that they only fought during the insurrection for the purpose of de fending themselves. In point of fact those re giments are chiefly composed of Velhynians, L thuanians, and Galicians, all sons of the an cient Kingdom of Poland, Chute re i-Murlus.

For this purpose, they assembled in force (between 50 and 60) early in the morn- ing ofthe 16th, at Leather’s Ford, having as. certained that the command with the prisor# ers, would cross the Chaslata at that place.— The first act of their hostility was indicated hy their having caused a number of obstruc tions >n the passage of the river with the view of harassing the detachment and otherwise perplexing and retarding its movements.—* These were, however, avoided without any great difficulty, a.id (he opposite shore having been reached in safety, ’the van escorting the prisoners, resumed ils line of march It hadr proceeded but a short distance, when the Sur- gent commanding tho rear, brought intelli gence of its being attacked, to Col.

Upon hi* approach, the assailants desisted front their at* lack, witn the exception ol three, who con tinued fheas-Hult with great fury, until check ed by the bayonet. One ot these, the vi esC of the viie, received a couple of severe wound;*, believed at rhe time, to have been mortal; but upon examination, i was found that he was not likely to experience the fate so richly merited by his infamous life, and still nv.ro infamous conduct in this.affray. Trevi- fiiisly to t lie recount cr, he had, 1 learn, pro fessed the utmost contempt of Georgia, her laws, her officers, denied her jurisdiction over this territory, and encouraged those who were inclined, to violate her recent enactments iu relation thereto, with the prelection ol his val orous arm. In the practical demonstration of his prowess, he has learned a lesson, wipe it may hereafter be serviceable to himself, and it hint to ail others who may he disposed to in vade our rights or infringe our laws. Its good efficts have already been experienced, for I understood, that no less than seventy of these desperate and abandoned wretches have sud denly disappeared from tin.ir former haunts in the settfemenfs.

Tho exasperation for a long time smothered, was so very considerable at the moment of the insurrection, that some Polish detachments, who at the commencement re fused to give up their post of arms to the people, were massacred as traitojs. Forty one colonels or majors were killed in endeav oring to ke *p tbe troops in obedience. It is added that two aids-de-camp of the Grand Duke were also slain.

The official bul letin published at Moscow states, that from the 28th September to the 11th of October, one in three of all attacked died. It )S also stated that it has recently appeared in the neighborhood of Constantinople; it was at O- dessa on the 8th October from whence it is feared it will gain Greece, Italy, and the touth> ern parts of France, though its effects are suspended by the winter. Four young French Physicians presented a proposal to the Institute, to request the Go vernment to send them to the countries infect ed with the malady.
