D [published by request J r From the Augusta Courier of December 33. Tho following is the substance of a late de rision in the Supreme Conrl of-the United States, which may be found in PETERS’ late REPORTS, from page 425 to 437:— It was a case, originally, of the State of Missouri, vs Craig and others, on a note of hand given to tbe authorized Agents in behalf of the State, for certain bills of credit or paper circulated upon the funds ef the State, con trary h tbe Constitution of the United States. The words of the Const it utioorof the United Stales are. "no State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal: coin money; emit bills ol credit: make any thing but go’d and silver coin a tender in payment of debts: pass any bill of attainder, ex-post facto law, or law im pairing the obligation of contracts : or grant any title of nobility.” The State of Missouri issued, or ‘‘emitted” certificates of various dimensions, from fifty cents to ten dollars, amounting to upwards of two hundred thousand dollars, (based exclu sively upon the credit of her Treasury,) to fill up, and intended as a circulating medium a- mong the people ; for which Craig, and others bocamo indebted, and gave their notes. They afterwards refused to pay their note. The State sued, and the Court of Missouri decreed in fa vor of the State,—The defendants appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States ; and that Court has recently decided, "that as the consideration for which the note had been originally given, was for bills of credit emitted by the State, the very act which costitutes the consideration, is the emissions of hills of credit, which act is prohibited by the Consti> tution ol thi* United States, and the Court, therefore, feels constrained to say. that the consideration lor which the note was given is a- gamst the highest law of the land: and the note therefore is utterly V'.ud. 5 * This decision was delivered by Judge Marshall himself, upon the Bench. With this high precedent established, and 1 ack d by the Const itut on of the Unwed States, more is not a single man who has given his 110:e, or notes, drafts or acceptances to the State of Georgia, (or the Central Bank, which is the same thing) for "Central Bank” bills that can be compelled to pay such notes, drafts or acceptances If the State has commitfed an unconstitu tional act in ‘ emitting bdl9 of c r edit,” through me Agency ol her officers of the Central Bank, whom he pays liberally lor emitting her bills of credit, based exclusively upon her Treasury, she must abide the consequences, as all her public money, Bank stock, and specialities of debts due on bonds, notes, mortgages, &.c. to gether with her public credit, now lies entirely at the mercy and discretion of those numerous persons who have received ‘‘Central Jtauk bills,” [notes} (or their consideration,) in ex change for their own notes, drafts or acceptan ces. This is very liberal and wise Legislation, for the benefit oft he borrowers, note-shavers, spe cuiators and hand jobbers. What are the Central Bank Notes, but "bills f credit?,’ The very act of the Legislature of 1828, establishing the Bank, and creating the Agents of the State to emit those bills, will shew that the Central Bank bills are, not only. in reality, bills ol credit, but that tbe very ma ieriaisol consideration and purport value, on which they were "emitted,” consist of stock .md "credits” due to the State: some in the snape of Bank stock scrip, (some of which is below par) and of the Savannah, Ogeechy, and Aitumaha canal stock—$42,000, and a bond ©n the same for $50,000 more, loaned Jencks: to gether with other bonds, cotes, and judgments, &c. And who knows what portion of the nu> tnerous individuals who gave those notes, bonds ai.d other specialties of debts due the State, and against whom she holds judgments, are dead, bankrupts, or run away?—And upon which credtTs due to the Sl;it and unpaid, the Central Bank m part is established and emitting tills of credit.” upon old nominal pa pers of credit! some of which are not worth the paper iu its original slate from the Factory. 1 The following extracts from the act ol 1828, will shew how and on what basis, the Central Bsiuk is established:— Sect 1st—Be it enacted 4‘C. That a Bank -hall be established in behalt ot the State of Georgia, to be known and called by the name and styh ul the Central Bank &c Sec 2d—Be it further enacted &rc That the money m the Treasury oi thi» S ate (Bank Bills) not otherwise* appropriated—the shares owned by the State in the Bank of Augusta, in the Planters’ Bank of the State of Georgia, m the Bank of the State of Georgia, and in the Bank of Darien ; and all bonds, notes, special ities, judgments due to tbe State, and all mo nies arising from the sales ot fractions, and town lots heretofore made, hereafter to he made, and all other debts aod monies at any time due the State, shall constitute and form the capital Stock of the said Central Bank. See 3d.—That all the taxes hereafter to be collected on account of the State, and all its dividends arising from stock in other Banks, shall be deposited in the said Central Bank to aid and facilitate its operations. Sec 16th—And be it further enacted—That the President and Directors of said Bank shall have power to issue notes, signed by the Pres ident, and countersigned by the Cashier, on be half of tbe said corporation.” Tbe State is not bound for tbe ultimate re demption of the bills, or notes of the Central Bank, any farther than what may be made and collected ont of the mas9 of notes, bonds, judgements, &c. due the State from individu als ; and other specialities transferred from the Treasury to the said Bank, to form its capital FOREIGN. Can tbe people of Georgia pay their taxes j freely, and with a cheerful heart, when such i l „ •dMpmd°af a "*JT , T < I'mJB$&jFoFTHe‘bELGU.V hour? 01 P** 110 ® ,®f-*bcir la .CROWN RY FRANCSL Is it justice to the people to make such a disposal of their public money, for the ngran- dizement of a select few of the population, when the great mass or majority who pay tbeir taxes also, are suffering for the want of good roads and bridges to market, which they are entitled to, and the public prosperity of the State, at the 9ame time, in the back ground, lor the want of such internal improvements, and a more efficient system of education / There are now but two alternatives, and the Legislature can take its choice;—Either to break up tbe Central Bank and appoint com missioners to collect the public money back into the treasury, as fast as tbe different cir cumstaoces and honor of thetlebtors will admit; or let it go on till it breaks the State. The lute report exhibits $720,632 of notes and bills now on hand in the Bank, discounted with the public money, for the private benefit of individuals— which amount « now outstand mg that much, of tbe publ’< funds or labor of the mass of the people, either discounted with Central Bank bills or bills of other Banks, taken in by way of exchange, from the original pop ular confidence of circulation, created in com munity by the first emission of $744,000; be sides other notes, mortgages, judgments and specialities against individuals, which only go to swell the amount, on paper, of the capital stock of the Bank; —Out of all which the late report exhibits only $66,789 11 of solid capi tal, or specie, to meet the redemption of$720,- 532 of the public money afloat, in excuange for that much individual paper on hand, for discounts, or loans, since the Bank w.is es tablished and in operation in June 1829; —And yet the Central Bank exhibits a pur port Capital, consisting of old morally dead and musty papers, bonds, notes, mortgages, judgments in the main, of two million four honored and seventy-one thousand four him dred and twenty dollars and 10 cents;—How much of this amount consits offictitious, or un available capital, which only goes te swell the delusion ol public confidence; and how much of the $720532. loaned out to individuals, since the Bank went into operation, and now also due the State, will .-vet be collected, are the grand questions 111 ONE OF THE PEOPLE D c 1st 1830. SKETCH. stock. A MOTHER’S KISS BOYHOOD OF BENJAMIN WEST. The fir'i display of talent in the infant miod of Mr. Wot, was curious and still more so from its occurring where ttierc was nothing to excite it America contained scarcely a spe cimen of fine arts; and bemg tha son of a Quaker, he bad never seen a picture or a print fits pencil was of his own invention ; his col ors were given to him by an ludian; his whole progress was a series of invention ; and paint ing to him was not tbe result of a le-son, but an intuitive passion. When only seven years of age he was left in the charge of an infant niece in the cradle, and had a fan to flap away the flies from th‘- child The motion of the fan made tbe child smile, and its beauty attracted bis attention. He looked at it with a plesure he had never before experienced; and observing some paper on the table, together with pens and red and black ink, he seized them with agitation and endeav ored to deleniate a portrait; although at that period he had never seen an engraving or a picture. Hearing the approach of bis mother and sister, he endeavored to conceal what he had been doing; but the old j^dy observing his confusion, asked what he Ladtbeen about and insisted bn seeing the pap^f. He obeyed en treating her not to be angry ; Mrs West, after looking some time at the drawing with evident pUusu r e, said to her daughter, ‘1 declare he ;>*s m.tde a likeness of httla Bally;” and kiss d him with much fondness and satisfaction.— This encouraged him to say, that if it would give her any pleasure he would make a draw ing of flowers which she had in her hand; for his genius was awakened, and he belt that he could imitate any thing which pleased his sight. In afier life he used to say, ‘My mother's kiss made me a painter." Young West used pen and ink for his draw ings, uutii hair pencils were described to him when he found a substitute in the tapering fur of cats tail. In the following year, a cousin sem him a book of colors and pencils, with several pieces of canvass prepared for the ea- sal with six engravings. The box wa9 re ceived with delight, and West now found all his wants supplied. lie rose at the da wo of the following day, and carried the box to the garrat, where he spread tbe canvass, prepared his pallet and began to imitate the fingers of of the engraving. Enchanted with his art, he forgot the school hours, and joined the fami ly at dinner without mentioning the employ* ment in which he had been engaged. In the af ternoon he again retired to the garrat; and for several days successively he withdrew in the same manner, and devoted himself to paint ing. Mrs. West, suspecting that the box oc casioned his neglect of school, wont into the garret and found him employed on a picture.— Her anger was soon appeased by a sight of his performance. She saw not merely a copy, but a composition from two of Iho pictures.— She kissed him with transports of affection, and promised that she would intercede with his father to pardon his abscence from school This piece, finished in his eighth year, was ex hibited sixty-seven years afterwards, iu the same room with his sublime picture of ‘Christ Rejected;” and the artist declared that there were inventive touches in his juvenile essay, which all his subsequent experience had not enabled him to surpass.—Irishman- k CRQWN BY FRANCE. Paris, Feb. 17. To day, at noon, the deputation of tbe Na tiooal Congress of Belgium repaired to the Palais Royal. Two of bis Majesty's Aids de Camps received it at the-top of the grand staircase, to conduct it into the first saloon, where it was received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who conducted it into l he Pre sence Chamber, and bis majesty received it sitting on thegthrone, having on his right tbe Duke of Orleans, and on his left tbe Duke of Nemours. Her majesty the Queen was pre sent. as well as the Prince* and Princesses, and the Princess Adelaide, the King’s sister. The Ministers and Aids-de Camp of the King sur rounded the throne. The President of th« Congross delivered the following speech: ” Sire.—The legal organ of the Belgian people, the Sovereign Congress, in its sitting of the 3d of February, elected ami proclaimed King his Royal Highness Louis Charles Philip d’Orleaus, Duke of Nemours, your Majesty’s younger son, and has trusted to os the mission to offer the crown to his Royal Highness, in the person of your Majesty, as his Guardian 1 and King. "This election, which was claimed by the acclamations of a free people, is a homage ren dered to the proper royality of France and to the virtue of your family. It cements the na> tural Union of the two rations without Con founding them. It reconciles their wishes and their natural interests with the interests and the peace of Europe; aud by giving to the independence of Belgium a new support, that of the French honor, it insures to other states a new element of force and tranquility. “The Constitutional compact on which the Crown of Belgium rests is finished The na tion whose independence is recognized expects with impatience both tbe sovereign of its choice, and the benefits of the Constitution, to which he will take the oath. The answer of your M<> jestv will fulfil its well founded expectations, and our just hopes. Your accession has prov ed that you know all the power of a truly na tional wish, and the sympathy of France is a pledge to us of its ready assent to the suffra ges of Belgium "We deliver into your hands. Sire, the official decree of the election of His Royal Highness the Duke of Nemours, and a copy of the Con stitution decreed by the Congress." The President of the Congress then read the act of the Congress in the following terms: “In the name of the Belgic nation the Na tional Congress decrees— "Art 1 His Royal Highness Louis Charles Philip d’Orleans, Duke of Nemours, is pro claimed King of the Belgiitns, on condition of accepting tbe Constitution such as it shall be decreed by the National Congress. " 2, He is out to take possession of the tlirone nil after having solemnly taken in the preseace of the Belgian Congress, tbe follow ing oalb.— “I swear to observe the Constitution and the laws of the Belgian people, to maintain the national independence, and the integrity of the territory. “ Brussels, Palace of the Nation, Feb. 3 1831 " The Secretaries Members of the Nati on “H. de Brouck- "Viscount Vilnia XI1II ERE " LeIDTZ " Not’HOKB. " The President of the Congress. u E. Surlet Chokier.” The King answered to the Deputation. " Gentlemen:—The wish which your are commissioned to lay before me in the name of the Belgic people, on presenting me with the act ef the election which the National Congress has just made to my second son the Duke of Nemours for King of the Belgians, fills me with entiments which I request you to express to your generous nation I am profoundly affec ted that my constant devotedness to my coun try has inspired you with this witn, and I ahull always be proud that one ol my sons has been the object of your choice. "If I listened only to (he inclination of my very sincere desire to field to the wish of a people whose peace and prosperity is equally dear and important to France, I should readily accede to it. But whatever may be my regr-t, whatever may be the affliction which I feel, in refusing you my son, the strictness of the du ties which I have to fulfil imposes upon me this painful obligation, and I must declare that I do not expect for him tbe Crown which you are commissioned to offer me. " My first duty is to consult above all things the interest of France, and, consequently, not to endanger that peace which I hope to pre serve for its happiness, for that of Belgium, and for that of all the states Europe, to which it is «o invaluable and so necessary. Exempt my self from all ambition, my personal wishes agree with my duties. It wiil never be the thirst of conquest, or the honor of seeing a Crown placed on the head of my son, that will lead me to expose my country to tbe renewal of the evils which war brings in its train, and for which the advanges which we might derive from it, however great they might otherwise be, cannot compensate. Tbe exam pies of Louis XIV. & Napoleon would suffice to preserve me from the fatal temptation of e- recting thrones for in)’ 9ens. and to make me prefer the happiness of having maintained peace to aH the splendor of the victories in which case of war French valor would not foil again to secure to our glorious standards "May Belgium be free and happy; let it ne ver forget that it is to the concert of France with the other great powers of Europe that il owes the speedy acknowledgment of its nation al independence, and let il always rely with con fidence on my support to preserve it from eve ry externa! attack, or from all foreign iaterveo- tioo. But let Belgium also enenre itself again* tbe scourge of internal agitations, and let it preserve itaefef from them by the organization ef Const tint jolted Government winch may maitv tain a good understanding with its neighbors, and protect the rights of aM hr ensuring the faithful and impart ial execution of the laws — May the sovereign whom wo shall elect con solidate your, internal security, and may tho choice of him be at the same time a pledge to ell the powers of the continuance of peace and general tranquility I May he be fully sen sible of all tbe duties that he will have to per form, and may he never forget that public lib- berty, will be the best foundation of his throne, as respect for your laws, the maintenance of your instilutions, and fidelity in observing his engagements, will tie tbe best means to preserve it against every attack, and to save you ftone the danger of new convulsions. Tell your counrym n that such are the wishes which I form for them. & that they may depend upon the ontiro affection which 1 bear to them. They wiH find me always anxiou* te manifest it to them, and to maintain with them those relations of friendship and good neigh borhood which are so necessary lo the prospe rity of the two states." Paris, Feb. 19: The Prefect of Police published an ordi nance prohibiting mobs nnd tamultuous assem blies in the streets and public places, on pain of being dealt with according to the utmost ri gor of the law The image of our Saviour has been remov ed from ail the apartments of the Palace de Justice At six o’clock in the morning three blacksmiths were employed removing the fleur- de-lis from the iron gates of the Palais de Jus tice. They have likewise been removed from all the other places inside of the Palais where they had hitherto been "Offered to remain. "Tbe Cure of St. Germain I’Auxerrois has already undergone some interrogatories. Thin ecclesiastic endeavors to excuse himself by alleging that persons of importance came lo him to persuade him to celebrate the service in honour of ihe Duke of Bern; that he de clared he could not comply with their de-ire till he should have received orders from tiift superiors, and that on the same day these orders were given him by the Archbishop of Pans. THE BUDGET The French minister ba • submitted ihe Bud get lo the Chamber oi Deputies It amomite in English money, to 44 000,000/ being one tilth more than is called for in ordinary years, and yielding a surplus of 56,000.000 franks* ‘ From the ordinary Budget,” n,od M. Lafi ie, "we shall have 15,000 000of francs, and from tbe extraordinary budget 41000.000 We have besides, a sinking turn! ot 81.000 000 francs; and yet Our direct taxes will remain without any increase. We havo also tv an nounce to you that the indirect taxes have im proved during the month of January, and pro duced an increase of 200,000,000. francs, not withstanding the reduction ot duties. What strength and power for war, if war should be come indispensible ! What resources for ren dering peace prolific, if we have the happiness to preserve it, of being able to employ the im> mense capital we possess! Our armamente are sufficiently imposing to ensure peace, or to repel gloriously any aggression. We have a well founded hope that Europe will soon re duce her forces to their ordinary establishment, and that we maay also be at liberty to reduce ours to the scale which our safety aud dignity may require in a stale of peace.” The late news from Paris would seem, at the first blush, to evince that the leaven of re volution is still at work. But the ordinance of the Constitutional King, a man of consum mate sense and shrewdness, offer a better so lution. Tbe French attach great importance to signs and rallying p ints, they are a na-i ,n of peculiar fancy ; with .them the emblamatic has an influence as powerful as the manifest has with races less quick and imaginative. Ever since the revolution of July, ihe presence of the fleur-de-lis has been an-eye sore of serious and potent sous character; the crimes and exe cution in England of the pour, misguided, ig norant peasants, who have been firing hay stacks, have not prodaeed in the pabiic paper*/ there, one tbonsandth part of the xpression of horror and digust, that tbe preservation of the flowers-de-liice on the state arms, has oc casioned in the journals of France. The lily, lois, lis, the namesake of the long fine of Loui ses, seemed a mock of all the citizen blood- that had bought a revocation of that dy nasty; the lily retained in the armorial bearing of Loois Philip, said loudly to that susceptible nation, (hat tbe throne held o Bourbon, rather than a King of the people's choice. II was pre dicted that the popular dislike only wanted a a chance for insulting the odious sign, which has never been national, any more than the bees of Napoleon Chamber or DcruTrEs, Sitting of thetOth of February A tumultuous agitation prevails daring and afier the reading of tbe Process Verbal. It was observed that M Bart he, instead of tak ing his place on the Ministerial Bench, walked long the centre, wbern he conversed with se veral deputies. Tbe Ministerial Bench re< mained empty. The most contradictory re ports circulated.
