WvJODWARD JOINER,
PROPOSALS
For publishing a large and complete Map of the State of
Georgia, embracing all the Lands within the chartered
limits.
1 ISSUED last year Proposals for publishing a new
Map of our State, but alter mature reflection, 1 was
induced to decline it till the Cherokee country should b<
acquired and Survey’d. As a Bit for surveying the
Cherokee lands is now before the Legislature, and which
has passed into a law, I now present new proposals to
the public, feeling the utmost confidence in i*s tibcnl and
efficient patronage. The sixe of the a<ap will be the
same as that published by my father, which I think suffi
ciently large for a full and distinct representation. Tbe
ityle of engraving shall be equal to that of the best en
graved Map of any of our sister states, and every o! ject
that ought to be laid down, and which is usually repre
sented on State-Vlaps. will be delineu'td with mathemati
cal precision & accuracy. They will be neatly varnkhed,
canvassed, colored and attach' d to Rollers. To suit pur
chasers, a 3ui*able number of tb* m will be enclosed in
richly ornamented covers. To assist me in meeting the
expenses of engraving and other incidental expenses,
which will unavoidably occur while preparing the original
for the bands of the Engraver, I solicit those w ho sub
scribe to advance whattney can with convenience. Those
who may be disposed to advance four dollars, will receive
it without additional charge. Tbe cost to those who ad
vance two dollars, will be five dollars-, and to those who
subscribe and may not choose to advance, six dollars to be
paid down on the delivery of tbe Maps’ The selling price
to those wha do not become subscribers, will be J7 per
copy. Those individuals who may please to extend their
liberal aid by making an advance, will receive the Maps
at a lower price, and shall be entitled to tbe first copies
that are struck. No expense or labor will be spared to
render it very accurate and worthy of a liberal and ex
tended patronage. The Mups will be delivered to sub
scribers and others, within six months after the Reports
of the District Surveyors are received and filed in the Sur
veyor-General's Office. If the work cao be brought out
earlier by tbe Engraver It will be done; but I am not wil
ling to promise them before the time mentioned. I de
sign to commence my Map of the Mat* soon after the
rising of the present Legislature, and will complete the
representation of all the Territory of our State, with the
exception of the Cberobce country; end as soon as the
Surveyors shall survey it and make their official report, I
will finish the Map and place it iu the hands of tbe En
graver.
I will also publish a Plan of tbe Cherokea Lands sepa
rately, representing the counties, districts, squares and
fractions, compiled from official surveys. The price of
this to subscribers will be three dollars, and if they will
advance oncdoilar, they shall be entitled lo receive it on
payment of an additional dollar. To non-subscribers, it
will be sold at four dollars. This will appear about
four months after the survey is made. The engraving of
this will be neat and plain. I assure the public that the
Maps *vill be prepared at the time mentioned, and that
expectation will not be disappointed.

pendence ol’Belgmni—Spread ol (lie Polish
i Insurrection, &c &c.
The Napoleon, from Liverpool, of lie 241 h
December, and the Canada, from the saint
place, bringing papers to the 5ih uit inclusive,
put us in possession of much important news
The.result of the trial of the Ex-Ministers is
so far gratifying, as it spares the effusion pf
blood on the scaffold. The particulars ol
iheir sentence and removal to their place of
mprisonnient (the fortress of Ham in Picardv)
will be found in another place. The fierce,
though bloodless, disturbances in Paris, occa
sioned by an apprehension that the Ex-Minis
ters would escape entireh, had only (he eff-ct
teslinnr satisfarlnr;!;. dtoat ss of the Na
tional Guard and its veteran chief, who declar-
edjn an order of the day, that he would 'en.
force order at the risk of ttis life. M Having
done so —and deeming the post he held in
compatible, as soon as the peril both of domes
t c and foreign assaults was passed, with hi
notion- of constitutional hbcriy. he resigned
in opposition to the earnest solicitations ol the
King the station of Commander in Chief ol
the National Guards. Hts motives for this
step are explained hy him in his speech in the
Chamber oi Deputies, and must at once dis
credit the stories told in some of the London
papers, that if arose from pique: or that after
declining the entreaties of ihe King that he
would retain the command, he went hack at a
late hour of the night to solicit it, and was then
told it was too late, General Lohau having in
the mean time been appointed Lafayette lias
finished «)$ Il6 cr»nrimp.nro<J, by o « biu suli iftcu
to principle. It is nevertheless certain, lhal
he, with Dupont de L’Eure and O lillon Bar
rot, was not satisfied with the course of Ihe
Kings Ministry, and desired, in the electoral
law especially, something more in consonance
with Ihe spirit ol the Revolution of July, and
the expectations founded thereon.
Lafayette expressed, nevertheless, in his
speech in the Deputies, his increased confidence
m (he intentions and character ol the King,
Dupont De If Eure had retired from t lie Minis
ry. The resignation of Odillon Barrot, as
Prefect of the S me, was not accepted. Th<

were in a very agitateo stale. The following
is one among many other evidences of I his.
The Ministers of Public Instruction threaten
to proceed harshly against the students who
signed the protestation at the pantheon, and
(he Polytechnic scholars w ho signed the same
document are confined lo their rooms. They
are daily asked for some signs of repentance,
which are as yel withheld, and the government
threatens decimation; but tbe dispute will no
doubt, he amicably adjusted. A number of
students yesterday, in defiance of the frowns
of superior authority, went in a body to Gene
ral Lafayette’s private house, lo express to
him (heir cordial regard Tite congregation
of these young men in the neighborhood of
their colleagues led to some alarm, and by
heat of drum about twelve thousand National
Guards were called into the str els to keep or
der. An absurd rumor prevailed that the stu
dents meant lo storm the Cnambers of Peers
and Deputies. The military repaired forth
with to each. Idle crowds of cours?, collect
ed to gaze at the military preparations, which
lasted until nightfall. The soldiers then re*
urned to their civd occupations, and the stu
dents to their homes, alter an affectionate in
terview with the venerable object of their at
tachment.
The new electoral law, proposed to the
Chambers, doubles the present number of vo
ters, making 180,000, instead of about 90,000
t reduces to 500 francs or $100, the quahfica
tion of eligibility. This project still falls far
s-hort of the public expectation, which looked
to 400,000 electors at least, ll will be warm
iy contested in the Chamber, which does nol
seem inclined to a great extension of the elec
live franchise; but the popular sentiment is
trong for it, and the Ministers evinced symp
toms of y ielding lo that sentiment. The refe
rence in the speech of Lafayette to the ne«es
sity of fulfilling this expectation, wdi not be
without effect.
Belgium has been formerly acknowledged
as independent, by Great Britain, Frauce, Rus
sia, Austria, and Prussia; and the question now
to be settled is the choice of a Sovereign. It
is manifestly, feared by France, that Pnhce
Leopold of Saxe Cuburg, may be the man;
but to obviate the dantrer of his leaning too
much to England, it is suggested we obseive
in some of the papers, that be should marry a
daughter of the King ol France. Eagland,
doubtless, would be well pleased to see him on
the throne of Belgium; if, for no other reason,
than the saving in her expenditure of Z50 000
per annum, now paid to him in right of his late
wife.
Russia and Poland wer<*.proceeding toe*,
tremittes. The Emperor Nicholas declares he
will listen to no compromise; and on their partSi
the Poles are making every effort to meet the
storm that is about to burst upon them. Their
antient courage and enthusiasm seem to have
revived; but wre fear,—much fear, that the
Balkan passer—hke another Suwarrow, not
bloody and brutal, but prompt and decisive, as
be will be upon them before they can make
effective resistance. Austria affects entire
neutrality. Prussia, too is tranquil; and there
will, therefore, only bo that part of Poland,
known in decent divisions ns the Duchy of
Warsaw, to make head against the whole pow*
x of Russia. *

The conclave for the election of a new Pope
was in session, and expected to terminate soon
and amicably.
Great Britain —Parliament adjourned on
the 23d Dec. till 3d February. Tbe Ghrist
mas holidays always produce an adjournment,
w’hich. in the present situation of England, be*
came more than ever important, in order that
the noblemen and gentlemen of the two houses
might return to their respective counties, and
endeavor to restore order. Very numerous
convictions had taken place of persons impli
cated in the disturbances in different counties,
and sentences of death against some, and trans
poriauon against oihers, hud been pr vnuuinw'd*
The condition of things is manifestly most un
settled; so much so as to lead to the adoption
of a form of prayer which was order d to be
used in the Churches, for the restoration of
tranquility. This is a grave, uncommon, and
significant measure. Ireland is not more Iran
quil. The Lgitator O'Connell, was traversing
that country, stiring it up to insist on the re
peal of the Union. The new Lord Lieutenant
Lord Ar glcsea, had determined to take effec
tive measures to preserve if possible, the peace
of the country, and among others, that of cal
ling out the Irish Yeomanry was resolved up
ou. D tficulties had occurred in the Ionian In
lands, the precise nature and extent of which
were not known, but they were of sufficient
gravity to induce the Governor, Sir Frederick
Adam, to leave the seat of government and
proceed to the disturbed district. The con
.litiiMi (O' Oiucce is nere spoken of as very un
satisfactory.
From Spain and Portugal there is nothing
of any moment. They are now hardly make

REPORTED TROUBLES IN RUSSIA.
The report on the London Exchange, ofilis
turbai.ces having broken out io St Peters-
mirgh, and winch is said to be confirmed by
some letters from Hamburgh, has caused much
uneasiness to the Russian Bondholders, and
hat Stock on the 20th fluctuat' d a good
deal. It is said that the Emperor had left the
Capital and gone to Riga, and that most of (he
nobles, and many of the respectable inhabi
tants, have also left.
The latest letters from St Petersburgh, ar r
of Dec. 4;h—Prince Galitzin, it is stated, a
Min ster of State, had been discovered urging
and pushing the people on, in these disturbao
rm; <imi uccu irdiiisiieu mo cuuuiry, <ss also
had M. Ramona, a Minister of Justice, for the
same cause. The country is described as he
ing in a state of considerable excitation. De
predations were constantly taking place, and
many of the ring-leaders had at different times
been punished on the spot. The military, it
is said, had not taken any part in the proceed
ings. One of the papers says a report pre
vailed at Vienna, that a revolution had taken
place at Moscow, in which seven General Offi
cers w’ere killed. These accounts we believe
to bo great exaggerations; but a proclamation,
issued by the military governor of St. Peters
burg, on the 3d of December, shows tnat there
was some cause of apprehension at the capi
tal of the Muscovite.
BELGIUM.
From Belgium the accounts nre highly satis
factory—all is quietly there, and the London
Globe says that a private letter, addressed to
an eminent hot»«e in London states, that the
affairs of Holland and Belgium are likely to be
adjusted ; (bat B Igitirn takes upon herself one
half of the Dutch debt, and that in return the
free navigation of the Scheldt is granted to the
Belgians
GREAT BRITAIN.
Parliament adjourned on tbe 23d December,
until *he 3d of February. On the last night
of the sitting. Sir James Graham made an im
portant communication to the House of Com
mons, outlie subject of Parliamentary Reform.
He stated that the Ministry,.although fully a-
ware of the difficulties of the undertaking, in
the present constitution of the House of Com
mons, are resolved to bring forward the great
measure of Parliamentary Reform without first
having recourse to a dissolution ; hut that, if
hey should fail, they will then think it their
duty to advise the sovereign to dissolve the
parliament, and appeal to the country. The
language used by Sir James Graham was near
ly as follows:
With reference to the warnings which had
been uttered by the Hon. Member for Borough
bridge (Mr. Aitwood) the House must see the
ditficulties in which tbe present Ministry was
placed. But he (Sir J. Graham)‘declared, on
behalf of his Majesty’s Ministers, that, relying
upon the support of public opinion, and hon
est in their intention to endeavour to reduce
the burdens of the people. They would sub
mit the measures they proposed ft>r the public
gnnd to the present House of Commons—
(Hear)—notwithstanding they knew that there
were seats influenced by the government which
had dissolved the proceeding Parliam nt.—
(Hear, hear ) Standing upon the ground of
the public good, and scorniog all such influ
cnee, they would preserve in the measures lie
cessary to carry their plans into effect—(Hear,
hear )—and should they fad in their endeavors
—(Hear)—he meant no taunt, he meant no
threat—(Hear)—'their sense of public duty
would impel them, notwithstanding all taunts,
and regardless of all menaces relying on tbe
strength of their cause, to go to the British pub*
lie—(Hear, hear)—and to their sense of those
measures which the House rejected—(Hear)
—and whether they stood or fell, with justice
and right oh their side, he should fear not ;
whether they gave umbrage to this fide of tbe
Hou-e or that side ol the House, they wotf
maintain a firm cosine, convinced »l*ut 111
country would vradicate the conduct of hun*
self and his colleagues, as dictated by a high
and firm sense of public duty. (Loud cheers.”)
The disturbances in many perts of England,
continued v^ry alarming. In consequence of
these difficulties in Lancashire, temporary bar
racks have been ordered to be established at
Ashton under-Line and Staylev bridge, as well
as at Blackburn, Bolton, and Oldham; and oth
ers have been issued from the Commissi-
onarias Department to send barrack stores to
Ashton-under-Luie and Stayley bridge imaie-
’ltely.
The burning of barns, and stacks of grain,
were very frequent in Lincolnshire, and very
heavy losses have been the consequences.—
The torch has also been applied to the neigh
borhood of Liverpool. 0;*e of the villains
has been arrested in Suffolk, who confesses
that he had travelled 1200 miles in six weeks
distributing incendiary publications. The totch
some extensive fires have been kiudied. The
eastern part of the country is likewise in a ve
ry perturbed state.
IRELAND.
The* various accounts from the country, re
ceived V'y the present arrival, represent d*ff r-
ent portions of it as being in si state of great
agitation ; but it seems probable that the mo
deration and firmness of the Marquis of An-
glesia will present any formidable excesses
from being committed.
The Dublin Evening MaiL announces that
the Government had decided on calling out
the Irish yeomanry A circular was addressed
from the Castle, hy E G Stanley, his Excel
lency’s Secretary, to tbe d fferent magistrates,
in which assemblages of large bodies, under
whatever pretext, for the purpose of mtimi-
.!..*!.- «<v .KlIiucii irHHsonaoie and the ma
gistrates are required to suppress them.
The Dublin Evening Packet speaks with
great confidence of the influence possessed by
Ihe Viceroy over the populace. It i* said that
many of the Orange party unite with the Cath

Resignation of Lafayette—On Friday
evening, Dec 2lth, a resolution was passed by
the Chamber ol Deputies, declaring the office
held by General Lafayette, as Command-r-in-
Chief of the National Guards, unnecessary,
Paris, Sunday, Dec 29—The necessary
consequence of th« vote in the Chamber of
Deputies last Friday evening upon the new or*
gamzution of the National Guard; was the re
moval of General Lafayette from the command
of that body, with however, the perfect under
standing, that he was to he forthwith fe-.jp*
pointed by the King. The General and his
friends, however, took fire, and determined
not to submit to this piece of coquetry ; and
yesterday, altera consultation with his friends,
the venerable patriot resigned his commission
into tbe hands of tbe King, in a letter, iu
which he declared that, in resuming hisstaii »n
as a simple soldier of tbe revolution, he was
determined by all the means still at bis dispo
sal to support the throne and the principles
which had grown out of the events ol July.
It was always underderstood, before the vote
of Friday* that Lafayette’s appointment was
for life; but that the office would die with
hint This splendid m irk of confidence Could
only have been justified by the patriot’s long
tried virtues and purity of heart. The King,
upon receiving Gen Lafayetl s letter yester
day, immediately sent [as be called hin.j tor
* his old and loog attached friend ” The call
was promptly obeyed, and a long Interview
was the result. Lafayette declared that he
appeared not as an unconnected individual,
hut as a negociator; and in reply to the king’s
earnest entreaty, that he woold re-accept the
command in-chiel of the Guards from his bauds,
said that he could never do so, without an In
fusion of popular Strength into his maj'-sty®
oresent councils, and the introduction of siicb
an electoral law as would satisfy the jleopte,
and give solidity trf the institutions of the r«-
vohftion. They parted late in the day o$
terms of warm mutual respect, Bod tbe feiof
