LYTH A JOINER, J Adm»r». Jta»iy*9 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. V BENJAMIN H. STURGF.S.

ECHOLS, Adm’r. February 2* 38 e Inde 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< M oi iu-ur announces M. Merihou, as the sue cessor in the Department of Justice, of M Du pont de L'Eure: and JW.

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. * iTALk.— 1 The Genoese have s set about ren dering thetaselvesjndependeBt >0 a novel ami money lor giving up authority over them, which, however, he has declined. 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 weights in the system of Europe 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 olics in seeking a repeal of the Union, but that such is not the desire of the people at large. Mr. O’Connell is charged with desiratg not on ly such repeal, hut such a separation us that of Belgium from Holland. On the 19th of December, he made a public entry into Dub lin, the different trades having collected to re* ceive him, with various banners and mottoes. Five thousand persons, it was supposed, were collected. The houses, in the streets through which the procession passed, were partially il luminated. Mr. O C addressed the people from the balcony of his house, and stated a- mong other things that he had been offered an , Ktf f ho nuur JVf **> ■- * »•» t «m? * La I -1 ■* ** Courier most stoutami somewhat indignant* ly denies ) He made a public entry into Dro gheda (twen y-three miles from Dublin) on the 29th, accompanied hy nearly one hundr* d thou sand persons, who exhibited orange and green banners, similar to those borue by the trades men on his arrival in Dublin. Here » public dinner was given to him, at which he madti a speech, promising a speedy repeal of the U- nion. The Chairman’s health having been drunk, he concluded his speech by calling upon Mr, O’Connell to fulfil a promise he had made him ihe day before, to propose the health of the “Orangemeu of Ireland” in a hump r of the Boyne water—(tremendous cheenug ) Mr. O’Connell immediately rose, and gave the toast with smiles and expressions of joy and happines. The company simultaneously >tood up, and a hurst of triumph resounded through the place of meeting, and the band -truck up tlie tune of *’ 'i'he .ZJ'iy-ne Water ” It was twice encored, and it was proposed and carried amidst peals of acclamation, that it hould be forever henceforth the charter tuua of the Drogheda Independent Club. FRANCE. 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
