Tlio claim waa founded on the charter of
the proprietary government, and on Royal
commissions, after the surrender of the char
ter to the Crown. Claims were set up by
South Carolina and the United States. The
conflicting claims of Georgia and South-Caro*
Una, were adjusted by a convention between
them in 1787. The United States recog
nized, by tho treaty with Spain, in the year
of 1795, the claim of Georgia, having refused
in 1778, p cession from the State, on account
of the remoteness of the lands, and of the
terms proposed by Georgia.
In April, 1798, Congress passed a law, in
relation to tho Western Territory, with u re
servation of tlm rights of Georgia to the jur
isdiction, and soil. In May, 1800, another
act was passod, containing a similur reserva
tion. In December, 1800, Georgia remon
strated against tlmso acts ns a violation of her
rights of sovereignty and soil. The compact
of 1802, put an end to these disputes. By
that compact the United States obtained two
States, estimated to, contain eighty-six mil
lions of acres. Tlio consideration paid, was
one million two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, to be void out oj the. sales of the
land. The United Slates also bound them
selves to extinguish tho Indian title to all
lands in Georgiu, as soon as it could be done
peaceably and on reasonable terms.
What arc tho advantages the United States
have derived from this compact 1 Two States
have been added to the'Uniort. By a state
ment published by u committee of this House
in 1824, it appeared that at that time up
wards o[four millions and a half of dollars
hud been received into the Treasury*from tlio
sale of the lands, exclusive of the Mississippi
stock. Nearly six and a half millions were
still due. The lauds ceded by tho Indians,
and unsold, was twenty-seven and a Imlf mil
lions of acres, worth at tho minimum price,
thirty four millions of dollars, and there was
then remaining, as hunting grounds to the
Indians, nearly twonty-theo millions of acres.
At the hist sesion of Congress, a commit
tee was raised on the subject of distributing
the proceeds of the public lands, at the head
of which wasa distinguished meiiiber from
Pennsylvania, not now a member of this
House, (Mr. Stevenson.) What did thny

We cannot believe that tho Supreme Court
will entertain the question wliicn Air. Wirt,
has been employed to argue before that tribu
nal. It is known to the Judges that it ;s im
possible for two -sovereignties to exist in the
district of country; and that the sovereignty
of the Cherokces could only be successfully
asserted by dividing Georgia and Alabama,
and establishing a new State or Nation out
of parts of each, against their consent, which
would be a flagrant violation of tho constitu
tion.
IfBUBtained in their pretensions, tho Cher-
okoes would either have to be viewed as an
independent foreign nation within tlio United
States, or they would stand on an equal fljot-
ingwith the whites, und would have to be ad
mitted into the Union on an equal footing
with the original States, so soon as the ex
tent of their population would justify the mea
sure. To secure to them the right of living
under their own laws, we must treat them us
a foreign nation, in overy sense of the words
sovereign and independent—competent to
treat with France, England, or Russia, as
well as the United States, and to adopt Bitch
revenue laws as would be most conducive to
their interest or huppiness.
If admitted to stand on equal footing with
other States, they would be entitled to send
two members to the Senate of the United
States, and as many members to the House
of Representatives ns their population would
authorize under the apportionment of repre
sentation adopted by Congress—which could
not bo effected without violating t he consti
tutions of tho States and of the General Go
vernment.
We are thus convinced that Mr. Wirt and
his employers can have but one object in
view ; and that is, to increase the excite
ment that has been got up on the indian ques
tion. They may hope to enlist the Supreme
Court in their behalf, and to procure a deci
sion adverse to tho sovereignty of Georgia,
and to effect thereby, in tlfo sequel, a sever
ance of the Union. They ore aware that
Georgia will not surrender her rights as a
State without making a manly and patriotic
effort to defertd them ; and thut should dhby
be forced to resist a decree of the federal ju
diciary, they would not stuud alone in tho
conflict.
Thus, under the pretence, of sustaining the
pretensions of ihe Clierokees, .to sovereign
ty,nnd independence,the opposition are obvi
ously striving to overthrow the Stuto Govern
ments, or to dissolve t,lie Union. The trea
son of Arnold; though more palpable, was not
more reprehensible or base.

Whether it is that George the IV. actual

that his present situation causes sympathy

more dreaded, from the general dislike en

Sudden Squall.—One of the most severe
and sudden squalls came across the lower
part of this city, a few minutes after 5 o’
clock, on Saturday afternoon, that we ever
witnessed. There were no indications of a
storm—tlie sun was yet pouring down his
beams with melting intensity—and there was
no gathering blackness in the west. There
was scarcely a breath of air, and a part of tho
sky only wns obscured by a few light hazy
clouds. Suddenly there wns a roar from the
West, like the rushing of mighty Waters.—
Wo were in Broadway, nnd glancing our
eyes through Liberty street to tlie North Riv
er, the whole waters seemed boiling in foam.
In an instant more, the rnin descended over

accidents oecu-red, .of which we gather the
over run in

Hartford, Conn. Ho afterwards commenced
engraving, and went to- London with Mr.
Perkins, when Roskel, having seen the
watch, borrowed.lt long.onough to take a
model, and gained credit, celebrity and wealth
by the invention, while the true inventor, as
is often tlie case, was thrown into obscurity

Perpetual Motion.—Passing down to
wards the market the other day, I was at
tracted by a groto and fountain in miniature,
in one of the bow windows of a building on
tho left, u few doors above the corner. Up
on entering the house I discovered machine
ry' very ingeniously contrived for ventilation
and other purposes, and at lust obtained a
view of tho machine, which is supposed by
many who have examined it, to bo the true
Perpetual Motion. As I,am no mechanist,
I shall not pretend particularly to describe
this wonder, but really, Mr. Editor, it is a
most extraordinary invention, and does the
utmost Credit to the skill and ability of Mr.
Proutv of this city, by whom it was construct
ed. Notwithstanding all that has been said
about it in the public papers, an adequate idea
can only be formed by actual inspection of
tno beauty and regularity of the machine, as
well as of its exact proportions and the nice
ty of the adjustment of its cheeks and balan
ces. Some persons have believed its motion
to depend upon springs or- magnets, but a
glance of the eye must convince the observer,
that there is,no trick or concealment prac
tised upon him—tho simplicity of the work
being equal to the skill displayed in creating
it. 1 am informed that at least one of the
Governments of Europe has offered a premi
um tor tho discovery of perpetual motion, and
if this be so—Mr. Proutv should apply for
the prize, for although his machine will not
continue its motion forever, yet as long as
the materials of which it is composed can
resist the effects of time and friction, and as
long as the weights and balances retain their
relative position, so long must its whirl con-
tinue.and its motion' be perpetual. *1 advise
all those who have not seen so wonderful a
performance, to examine it forthwith.
Oyr correspondent does nothing more than
justice to Mr. Prouty’s machine. It is the off
spring of genius, labor and patience, end Wo
presume comes as near perpetual motion as
any thing that has proceeded from the hand

Extract of a letter dated
New York, Saturday evening, July 10.—
“By the way, had you ever a description of
Jacob Hays! If you would like a brief sketch
of one whose very name carries terror nnd
dismay into the ranks of vice, here it is. Ja
cob is a short, thifijs pian, of great activity
and unusual sagacity. He has been so long
connected with the Police department that he
knows every rogue and vagabond, and he has
accomplished mure towards the apprehension
of desperadoes and the prevention of crimes'
than the public is apprised of. Beford Reed
and Stevens were arrested, Hoys had accu
rate information of their various plans, one of
which, to rob tho mail to Boston,- was so well
contrived that it may be worth relating. In
their visits lb the Post Office they had an op
portunity to observe the size of the mail bag,
and calculating its dimensions, they resolved
to try, in the first place, the following experi
ment. One of the gnng, .who bore a great re
semblance to one ot the stage drivers, was to
take a bag which they had made correspond
ing in size and appearance with the regular
mail bng and filled up with papers and pack
ages, start in a horse and sulky which they
wore to get from the stable frequented by the
drivers, overtake the stage about 12 miles off,
and tell the driver he had taken tho wrong
mail bag from the Post office. If the ex
change of bags was made, their purpose was
effected, and time given for deliberate pro
ceedings. If tho driver should refuse, they
were then to wuit near Stamford for the arri
val of the mail from Boston that night, to rob
it and return to the city by water, before day
light, before any information could he brought
of the robbery. The arrest of Reed prevented
the execution of the plan, but Hays had made
'shell arrangements that they could not have
esenped his grasp. At various times, Hays
has brought to light circumstances of so ex
traordinary a character that the villains them
selves think he carries on his operations by
somef supernatural agency. Be that as it
may, he is a most indefatigable, vigilant and
valuable man in his department and in the e-
vent of his loss, his place could not be sup
plied.”—Boston Palladium.
A letter from an American now in London
published in the Albany Daily Advertiser,
contains the following account of the effect,
in England of the expected demise of the
King. The writer says
“This event has caused an activity in trade
which has not been witnessed for many
years. There is a great demand for all such
articles as are worn intimo of mourning, and
tlie artists now manufacture only such.—
The ribbon trade is particularly active, aud
millions of yards of that article of a block co
lor, have been made within a short time. The
jewellers are also very busy in making mourn
ing .rings, bracelets, jweafiipresi &c. Every
one now wonting a new suit of clothes,has it
made of black ; and'full employment is given
to tailors, raantua makers, and milliners, by
those who, though well supplied with ordina
ry dresses, desireto have a sable uniform
ready on the' moment tlie royal e.rit shajl be
announced.
.whole English nation has a great reverence;
and were she yet Jiving,* I think that sorrow
for the King’s death would not be so univer
sal as it now will be.
The Heir Presumptive and his Family?
—Iiis Royal Highness was united to the
Princess Adolnlde Louisa Therese Caroline
Amelia, eldest daughter of the late, arid sin
ter of the reigning Duke of Saxe Meiningen,
11th of July, 1818, wlieri the.Duke was in his
53d year, und the Princess in her 5$Gth. The
issue of this marriage was the Princess
Charlotte Augusta, born and diet) the 27th, of
March, 1819, und tlje Princess Elizabeth
Georgiann Adelaide, born the 10th of Decem
ber, 1820, died the 4th of March in the fol
lowing year. The Earl of Errol, tlie Hon’blc.
John Erskine Kenrtedyj (second son of Earl
Cassilis,) Mr. Philip Sydney (the member for
Eyre and only son of Sir James Sydney,
Bart,) and Lieut. Col. Charles Fox, of the
34th Regiment of Foot, stand in the relation
of sons in-law to the illustrious Duke, having
married tho Misses Elizabeth, Augusta, So
phia, and Mary Fitzclarencc, Iiis Royal High
ness’s daughters.—Colonel Fitzclarenco, of
tlio 7th fusileers, married in 1821 Lady Au-
gusitt Boyle, daughter of the Earl of Glasgow,
and Col. George Fitzclarence is son-in-law
to tlie Earl of Egremont. Captain Adolphus
Fitzclarence, R. N., and the Itev. Augustus
Fitzclarenco, rector of Maple Durham, are
unmarried.
The Fitzclarencrs are the children of the
Duke by Mrs. Jordan. Rumor has said that
otic of .the Misses Fitzclarcnces came to* this
country as an Actress, under the name of
Mrs. Alsop, and that her remains repose in
Trinity Church yard in this city. The fol
lowing significant lines from the “ Elegy
on an Unfortunate Lady,” are etched on a
plain but neat tombstone, which wak’erected

To whom related or by whom begot;
A hunt) of dus« alone remains of thee.
Tis all thou art und all Ihe proud shall be.*^
She died, we think, in 1821. or 16^2.-^
YVhen she first appeared on the stage, she*
was enceinte. She was a daughter of Mrs.
Jordan whom she strongly resembled. . The
paternity ascribed to her, if triie, makes it
possible that the Duke of Clarence may have
a grand child in this country.

Cockroaches.—These insects aro among
the most disagreeable of the annoyances to
which the dwellings of man are subject, and,
where their multiplication is permitted, the
ravages they commit are extensive and yex-
atious. They are all nocturnal, and exce§r'
dingly agile • their Battened bodies allow
them to hide, with ease, in every crevice,
whence they sally forth during the night,
to devour every sort of provision whicn is
not secured from their voracity. Like all
other depredators they are thrown into con
fusion and put to flight by the presence of
light* whence they were, in ancient . limes
appropriately called lucifugce, or light shun-
ners.— 1 Their destructiveness is not confined
to articles of provisions for the tkble ; silk,
woolen, and even cotton cloths are devour
ed, or rendered useless, by being gnawed
tirough. At some seasons of the year, when
the male cockroaches fly ■'about, they are
very troublesome, especially about twilight,
when they dash into rooms, and often strike
into the faces of those present. When a
cockroach takes refuge or seeks concealment
upon any person, he will inflict a smart bite,
it particularly hurt or alarmed. The sapient
Sancho Panza declares, that there is a rem
edy for every thing but death; and it is tru
ly happy for mankind, that the multiplica
tion or this pestilent race may bo repressed
by aid of their own voracity. If to a quantity
of Indian com meal about one third of white
or red lead is added, and the mixture is mois
tened with molasses so as to make it mod
erately adhesive, the cockroaches will gree
dily devour it, The repitition .of this poi
soned food fora few nights is generally suffi
cient to reduce their numbers to a very few,
even in the most infected houses, and will
eventually cause the destruction of tho
