THE Office of the PUBLIC INTELLI
GENCER, will be removed this day, to the
-tore lately occupied by Meffts. John Kiil and
Cos. as a Eookand Stationary (lore, and next
door weft of Me.Trs. Seymour and WoolKopter’s
Printing Office, on the Bay.
Yetlerday the Council of this City met, and
made choice of CHARLES HARRIS, Esq.
as Mayor, vice William Davies, efq. religned.
We are authorifed to (late, that capt. An- i
drew M‘Lean, is a candidate for an Alderman in
the room of Major William Browrr, ref; cued. j
We underhand, that the General Assembly 1
of this state, will adjourn in the course of a week,
owing to the indifpofidon of the Members. It I
is with regret we state, that it is very unhealthy,;
at present, at Milledgeville, the Seat of Govern
ment.
A writer under the figr.ature of E. in the j
Republican of the 28:h h. Hates, that the
Ambiance of Mr. Bryan’s Resolutions, which
we gave i.i our paper cri the 27th, to be ‘ in- j
cornet.’ The gentleman who furr.ilhcd us with 1
-he llatemeut had not a copy of the Resolutions
in his peiteihon; therefore, furnifned us with
the substance, so far as his memory served him. •
We stated, that the Resolutions puffed with only j
four or five di/Tentient voices ! We mu ft acknowl- j
! edge that we were somewhat surprised when in- i
formed that even one voice ftiould be raised
a gain ft their passing. We had hoped, that the i
Legislature of Georgia, had become more vir- J
tucus than to have their Journals dilhonored by!
the names of men w'nofe principles are inimical;
to the Rights of Man. If our llatement was
incorrcS, we thank Z. for bis timely correction
of it—and, are happy to be informed, that tire
Revolutions in queltion, palled unanimously !

II is a maxitrr,'which mtty be held goed,
that a man, who k the object cf general ibhoi
fence, is a bad mas'. This maxim is equally
applicable to nations, By purling a system ini
mical to the interefhr of other nations, afttdTo
; gardful only of monopolizing the commerce of ‘
{ the world, England has’ long been an obje& of }
I jealousy, and is now the object of the hatred of I
J all nations. Her diabolical and iafiuious mea- j
fures are uniformly prtf.cuted vvith a degree of |
perseverance, only equalled by the biacknefs of •
her deftgnsi Uuder the malk’ cf friendlhip,
long praflifed n the wiles of deception, and the
arts of dibiiiiillation, Ihe commits the moll pal
pable infringements, and openly performs adls
in direct contravention to the found principles of
national Law,
She avows an amicable uifpofition, yet
commits afls of the moll palpable and injurious
hostility ; and while the voice of her public
functionaries proclaims “peace and good wiil,”
lecret orders are feat forth from her executive
department to assault, capture and deilroy.—
But the iur. of Englifti glory has passed its me.
redian, and now precipitately descends adown :
the western h'emifphere. The reign of George
the third will be diftinguilhcd by after ages as
the reign of blood j and every p ‘riotic Eng
lifitman will curie that fatality, which doomed a
being void of undertlanding and fall of obftina
j -y to pfslide over his naiion,
Without any public avowal cf an hostile
1 temper, fome few years since, the Imperial Exe
cutive ifftted rnandates to their piratical and ma- |
rauding fea-capfaias, to fink or burn every Span- j
iHi veflel they met under one hundred tons i
All Spanilli vessels exceeding that number of]
: tons were to be captured, confide red as prizes,!
1 and carried into Malta. Parfuing her dcftmedl
course, believing in the faith and pacific dispo
sition of England, and rniitruftful of danger,
the Merc ides, a Spanish frigate, bearing a cargo
of immense value from Palentia, was attacked,
captured, and with several others, carried into
port, in conformity with the direflior.s iflueid
privately ftona the Executive Dipafttriept.
Wlien a demand was made by the Court of •
Madrid to that df London, requiring an expla-i
nation of such unparallelled and degrading con-’
•uct, and calling forjuilice, the rt-piy was, the
trigates Captured.are detained as reprisals. Re- 1
prif.ils for what ? enquired the State Secretary 1
ft the Spanish government, Don Cevallos.— :
tapain, it was aiuwered, had afforded pecuniary j
aid to Franee, and by that mean had ena’uled 1
her to purlue with increased ardor and vigor her j
movements ol hostility. True, indeed, it was,
that Spain had raised a contingent sum, r.greca-!
bly to an express article in the Treaty ratified’
between uer and France at St. lldefonfo, and.
j forwarded to Napoleon. Had Spain been the i
j lirft objedl of Eaghfh affauh, such an afllftance
I would have been afforded her by France, ini con
j formity with the said article in the said Treaty.
| But maritime dominion is the object, which
i Great-Britain seems resolved to possess and re-
I tain, if possible, in defiance of all law, human
! an d Divine. That the interposing arm of heav
en may arrest her'black career mull be the fer
vent with of every
AMERICAN.

The following communication front Governor

ihe underfigneJ, the Governor of the In
diana Territory, and Superintcndaut of Indian af
fairs, is happy to have it in his power to inform
his fellow-citizens, that there docs not at present
exilt the fmalielt probability of an Indian war.—’
Confidential agents whom he ha? employed to vi
sit the several tribes, have lately returned, and
brought with them the result of several meetings
and councils held bv the Chiefs, in all of which
it was unanitnoufly determined to preierve their
relations of peace and amity with the United
States, even if a war between us and Great-13 ri
tain should take place.
The fe w Indians upon the Lakes, who are un
der the British influence, are too contemptible in
I point of number, and character as warriors, to un
dertake any-hostile enterprize, without the aid:
arid concurrence of the Indians of the Wabash,
who are decidedly fer peace. The underligned
pledges liimfelf fort he peaceable difpofitiou of jj
