Resolord,'Ykal in expressing tin- opinion that the nation
cannot oe reinstated, we do it from a tliorough conviction of .
it» truth: that we never will encourage our confiding people
with hopes lien can nevqr he realiz ’d,and with 'xpectations
that will assiirislly bo diaappoiined: that however unwel
come and patnlul the truth may be to th- m, and however un- -
kintfly it may be rect ived from us, wv cannot, as patrioti and
well wishers of ih? Indian race, shrink from doing our duly,
in expressing our decided convictions, that we scorn the
charge of selfishness and a want of patriotic feelings, alleged
against us by some ofoiir cmintrym -.i, vvliil * wy can appeal
to our consciences, and the Searcher of all hearts, for tho
rectitude oi our motives and intentions.
R'jsulveiL l’hat although we love the land of our fathers,
and should leave the plac-s ofour nativity with as much re
gret as any ofour citizens, we consider the lot of the exile
immeasurably more to be preferred, than a submission to the
Lucs oj the states, and thus becoming witnesses of ilia ruin '
and degradation of the Cherokee people.
Resolved, That we are firmly of the opinion, licit a large ■
majority of the Cherokee peojde would preler a removal, if
the trut, slate of their condition was properly made known to
them. We believe that if they were told that they had
nothing to expect from further elibris to regain their rights as ;
a distinct community, and that ihe only alternative t-ft to 1
th -in, is either to remain amidst a w bite population, subject ;
lo tlie Whiteman’s laws, or remove to another country where i
they viay enjoy peace and happiness, they would uuhesi- I
tat iugly prefer the latter.
Resolved, ’J hat we were desirous to leave to ourciii -fs and
l-euding men to seek a country for iheir people; but as they
liave thought proper noi -o do any thing towards the ultimate j
removal of ihe nation, wv know of none lo which the t’hero- i
koes can go as an asylum, but that possessed by our brethren j

in the prosecution of which, they have since so shamefully

FRANCE.—A new French ministry was lately firmed,
M Persil being the only tn°nib >r of th; old ministry who was
retained. It was cornpos-d as follows: the Duke of Bassa-
no, minister of the interior, arid president oF th? council;
M. IVste. minister of commerce; M. Bresson, minv-ter of
forr igu titfairs; Genent! Bernard, minister of war; Charles
I)npin, minister of marine; and M. Passv, minister of fi
nance. It is not supposed that this change of ministry in
dicates any change of policy in the affairs of the govern
ment
In three days, another change.took place. The Journal
des Debate says—“the minister of tl\e interior, president of
the council, th" minister of war, who has also performed
th" duties ail interim of minister of foreign affairs, the min
isters of the marine, of th - finances and of commerce, yes
terday, tendered their resignations to tiie king, which his
majesty accepted.”
The f'onstitutiotiel in"ntions only four ministers ns having
resi"ii"il. th" Duke de Bassano, and Messrs. Teste, Ph~sv,
and Charles Unpin. It. adds, “oti Thursday evening, after
M. D upin s dinner, Die ministry still existed and assembled
in council. There the first important question submitted to
the n-w cabinet, th" lull for the twenty-five millions claim

the doctrinary coterie, although expelled from ihe cabinet,
was still powerful enough to eive ascendancy to its opin

DISSOLUTION OF THE BRITISH 3 INISTRY.
Ijjndon, November 15.—We hav- tig authority for th? im
portant statement, winch Pillows, but we have every reason
to believe that it is perfectly true We give it, without any
comment or amplification, in 'he very words of the commu
nication. which r<-ach"d us at a late hour last night, or rather
at an enrlv hour th's morning:—
“The king h-K taken the opportunity of lord Spencer’s
and there is every reason to
been sent for. The
; happiness of the Cherokees, because it is’evident to every
' observer, that while this struggle is going on. iheirdilfivullies
j will be accumulating, until they are ruined in their p-bperty
and character and the only rent -dy that will ilten he appli
ed in their case, will besuhinission to the laws of the Stales,
by taking reservations, and amalgamating with the whites, j
Resolveit, That wv consider the situation ol ouf ;>oor bre
thren, the Creeks, to l>e a sufficient warning to all those who >
may finally subject theCherokees to the laws of tlie States,
by giving them reservations.
Resolved, i’hat we never will consent to have our own ;
rights, and th" rights of our posterity, sold “prospectively” j
to the laws of the States, by our chieis, in any compact or i
compromise into which they may choose to enter with the
government: that we cannot he satisfied with any thing less
than a release from Stale h gislatiou; hut while ws do not
intend to have our own political interests compromised, we
shall not oppose those who prefer to remain subject to suite
laws.
Resolved, That We were disposed to contend for what we
considered to he our rights, as long as there was any hope of
relief to the nation; but that wc never can consent lo the
waste of our public monies, in instituting and prosecuting
suits which will result only to individual advantage.
Resolved, l hat it is with great surpriz • and mortification
we have noticed the idea attempted to be conveyed to the
minds of the people, mat the nation can be relieved by the
courts of Georgia: that we regard appealing to those courts
by the nation, tor redress, as an entire departure from 1 11" true
policy maintained by the Cherokees in their struggle for na
tional existence.
And whereas, a delegation appointed hy the Red Clay
council, and clothed with discretionary [lowers, will shortly
proceed to Washington, u|ioii business which may affvt the
rights and interests of every Civ rokee; and w hereas, we
liuve every reason to believe that tiie views of those who
wish to remove, will not be represented in lhat delegation;-
and whereas, letters were addressed to the executive of "the
United Stales, by a totmer deputation, from which tire fol
low is extracted,
"Will you agree to enter into an arrangement, on tlie ba
sis of iheCht-rokees becoming prospectively ckiz -ns of the
United Slates, provided the nation will cede tu the United
Shares a portion of its territory for tlie use of Georgia: and
will you agree to have the taws and treaties executed and
enforced lor the effectual prut- ctiou of the nation on the re
mainder of its territory, tor a definite period, wit h the under
standing, that after that period the Gii"rokecs are to be sub
jected to the laws of tbe tstat.s, within whose limits they
may be, and to take an individual standing as citizens thereof,
the same as other free citizens of tlie United Shales, and to
dispose of our surplus lauds in such a maimer as niay be
agred upon?”
From which it is apprehended, that attempts will he made
to enter into au arrangement with tiie .State of Georgia, uiul
the general government, upon the prim ipleot relinquishing
a portion of the lauds, and prospectively submitting the
t. herokees to the laws of the States: therefore,
Resolved, That i; is expedient to appoint a delegation, who
will represent the views and wishes of lit ,se who do not in
tend lo remain under the laws of the ihat.-s, but Will prefer
to remove to a country where the Cherokees can bo preserv
ed as a distinct community: that it is important that thisrie-
legaiion should proceed to Washington as soon as possible,
to lay before tHt executive, and beti.iv congress by a nr mori-
al, the views expressed in the foregoing resolutions; and to
ask lor such rights and privileges ax are calculated to render
those Ch rokees that are disposed to remove, contented and
happy in their new tioin s.
Resolved, i’hat in appointing a delegation io represent us,
we do it not from a spirit of opposition, not wishing to in
terim' wiih any > flints io reliec 1 the Cherokees,us a distinct
community, from the operation of estate, laws; but wlien that
original policy has been departed from, and propositions
have been made by a deputation to sell a portion of tlie lands,
and to suninit “prospectively” to State jurisdiction, it be
hooves us, without injuring any of our citizens, to watch
ov-r our qwn rights, and the rights of all those who wish
to perpetuate the Cherokees as a separate community.
Resolved. That the foregoing resolutions be signed by the
chairman and secretary of tins council.
