Macon georou telegraph GEORGIA. MUTUAL ASSURANCE. We would c-'ill the attention of our citizens to tho Folio wing ttrticU It is >vonh their consider ation. Somethin" like tho plan stated could he matured and adopted in this city. From the New York Courier Sf Enquirer. There exists n pressing necessity for the imme diate organization of a Mutual Assurance Com pany ; and we indulge the hope that the Commit tee of .'Merchants who have the matter under con sideration, will not delay their action. The mode of organization and the principles upon which to found, seem to he the only cause of delay; hut most assuredly, in this respect we may very safely adopt the simple and safe exam ple set us by the Philadelphia Company. We understand that in Philadelphia the association consists of some thousands of individuals w ho are required to pay into the common fund two and a half per cent, on the value of property insured, which is held by the association as a special depo sit, to be returned at auy moment that the insured may desire to discontinue his insurance. Sup pose Jive thousand persous should unite in a Mu tual Assurance Company, and that the average insurance of each, should he $ 10,000. Two’and a half per cent on $10,000, is $300, which paid by five thousaud persons amounts to the sum of one millon five hundred thousand dollars. The money, which is the capital of the Company, and which is continually varying, is loaned out on bond and mortgage, and other securities, and tho interest regularly invested and added to the principal, from which all losses are paid. If a person who has insured for $10,000 and paid his $300 wishes to discontinue his insurance, he sim ply calls at the office of the Company and the amount is handed to him—his insurance having cost him the interest, on bis $300 thus deposited, or $18 per annum. So. if a incrclnut has iusu- red his stock of goods for $100,000. by paying his two and a half per ccut- $2,500, and at any time wishes to reduce the amount of his property insu red, he has only to step to the office, & withdraw such portion of the special deposit as he deems advisable. By this means every insurer has nlwys an open policy which he may vary from day to day to correspond with his sales and pur chases. We cannot well conceive of a more equitable mode of insurance than this, and it certainly is much cheaper than any other, as the whole is procured by payiug or rather losing the interest oil two and a half percent, of the amoout insured. The rate of insurance in New Yolk is about one per cent or one huudred dollars on $10,000. whe reas by tho mode Imre suggested and so success fully practised in IMi ladelphia, it would be only eighteen dollars ! As to the safely from this mode there cau be uo doubt. Tho amount immediately placed in deposit, if such an office should he opeued, would be several Millions, which would be promptly re turned to the community in the shape of loans. The interest would he forever added to the cap ita], and thus the fund would not only he sufficient to meet all contingencies, but be always ou the increase and giving additional security to the in sured. Let the committee who have this subject iu hand immediately designate twenty five Directors for such a Company who shall hav the power for ever to fill vacancies and manage the affairs of the Company: and if they think pioper, let them re ceive in deposit five instead of two and a half per ceut, on the amount insured; and they will, in less than ten days, have the city thus iusured. It is only necessary to start it under the auspices of twenty five or forty of our most respectable mer chants, to iusure for it universal popularity. As it is, owuers of property cannot retire to their beds with any feeling of-security against the dangers offire. . Several mouths must ensue before the peop.i cad be furnished with the laws passed at the la.e session. We have, therefore, for the gratifica tion of nnr readers, perused the laws at tho Sec retary of Slate's office, and briefly stated the ob jects and purposes of those we have deemed most interesting: which, with those that are usually, from their general importance, published by the Executive, will enable our readers to form a pretty correct idea of the kusiuossof the session. —Southern Recorder.

We hear many of our friends complain of dys pepsia, oppression from food, flatulency after meals- Aw. Those troubled in this w ay we re commend the study of the following rules which wo have met with iu the course of our medical reading: 1. As the stomach secretes bc.tter fluids and acts with more vigor when moderately filled than when excessively distended, that no more be token into this orgau than it can well manage. The appetite is not si safe guide to determine the requisite quantum: experience must he the teacher; what has been once found too mnch mutt he di minished; aud the rule whru fixed mustde adhered to,^whatever the-lemplation to violate it; for the appetite is often better than the digestion. 2. As different substances possess, iu dffereui degrees,the property of solubility iu the stomach, it will be highly proper to make choice of those which this organ can most easily dispose of. It is to he rememberd that tho most nutritious sub stances are not always the most digestible. The acceuirated juice of meut in form of soup.thoiigli highly nutritious, is not always borne well. The quantity of fluid it contains may offend the sto mach, and bciug sivallo veil without mastication, it is not like solid food, duly mixed with saliva- Animal jolly, which is purely nutritions, L difficult of digestion, and must he avoided by the dyspeptic. Tho articles of most easy solution appear to he solid animal food roasted or broiled and fresh fish; among vegetables, bread and po tatoes hold the highest place; among the least solunble are fat, tendinous and gristly parts, the skiu of the fruits and the sweet vegetables.— Butcher’s meat is more digestible than poultry; fullgrown mea*. th m youug, aud beef aud inutiou titan any other. 3. The introduction of a variety of food into the stomach, at one meal, is pernicious; for pos sessing different degrees of solnhility, they require dieffereut periods for digestion and thus the pro cess is distuhed. Borne kinds of mixtures arc more injurious than others. Milk or cream,-or substances containing them should uot be taken immediately after dinner. Pastry is heterogeneous in its own nnturc to condemn it. Fruit had bet ter tie deferred till evening. Cheese has hecn said to digest every thing hut itself, hut things like persons, whose elements are discordant, are to he hel<I suspected—Above all, avoid new cheese or curds, which, in defiance of all peptic precepts, arc so often proffered to tempt the unwary. 4. Thedistentiun of the stomach is an evil in itself, therefore drink hut little at dinner. If not thirsty, take uo liquid; a cup of tea, a few hours after, will be more grateful, aud will fully supply all deficiencies. 5. If possible bring your meals within a rea sonable distance, so that lunches, or intermediate repasts, may be avoided. They are always taken iu haste, arc. uncertain iu quality and .quantity and are swallowed antidst the pressure and anx iety of business; all which circumctnuecs me un- frieudjy’to their good effect. Besides, if every call of appi tite is at once indulged,the fancy will he very likely to form natural wants, the gratifi cation of which is only an injury. 6. Avoid eating when greatly heated or fati gued. Give the body a little rest aud the stom ach will tho better perform its duties. 7 Eat slowly, nnd avoid iu tense thought during dinner. In order to effect both objects, if you have auy thing to say, address a. few words to your next neighbor on some topic of general or local interest. The meal will not ho so quickly despatched, but a little will go further aud will sit better. A silent cater will always eat most, aud hr tbe least benefited by his meal.

Whereas, the legislature of Georgia, while it has hi therto been directed to promote thegeuerul good ot its citizens, has at the «an.e time kept constantly in view the Indian tribes settled within its chartered limits ; nnd whereas time and experience have demonstrated that the habits and principles of the red man are adv erse to the progressive and enlighleued character of the present day, and the longer lie is kept in the neigh borhood, and the oftener he is brought iuto contact with civilized man, that he rapidly sinks into a corres ponding statp of degradation, and whereas the present executive df the United States has, for years past us ed the most untiring etforts to transfer the remaining reimwt of the Cherokee Indians to a climate aud soil beyond the Mississippi, far more eligible for them than that they at present occupy, w ilh an offer of protection and ample support during their removal and early set tlement : they would have been surrounded with'com- forts which are withheld from the yeomanry of our country who emigrate to the west,- to it country to which other Indian tribes have voluntarily gone, and in which tho national character and habits of the Che- rnkees would remain unchanged. It is assumed with confidence that the great mass o r those Indians would long ago have acceded to these humane and benevo lent offers, but for tbe intriguing and selfish motives of their chiefs, in whom, by old custom, they have hi therto confided their destinies- and whereas a crisis has arrived when necessity demands that the £ast pol- cj of the State, in relation to this tribe of inuians, sr.uu id 1;^ carried out, to wit: securing to these abori gines a distant establishment, where they can enjoy their old and established habits and peculiar modes of government, and thereby keep up their identity as a separate people ; to place our citizens in possession of undisturbed lands which have long been withheld from them ; the occupation and cultivation of which would strengthen the State and add to the stun of human hap piness. And whereas recent and tneluncholy experi ence has proven beyond doubt that a white popula tion and dense Indian one, cannot with safety inter mingle in the same region of country, especially in the Cherokee counties, in many of which the Indians pre dominate, whose minds are uninformed or unintlueu- rite Queen There have been no importaut movemeuts iu the Nonhof Spain, though, in general, the cause of Dou Carlos appears to be decliuing.

Galligttaui’s Messenger of the 19th says, ‘‘\Ve have beeu led iuto error iu announcing the de parture of Mr. Barton, the Americau Charge ({‘Affaires. He is still iu Paris. He has, how- cvet, for some lime quitted the Hotel of the A- mericau Legation, aud uo longer transacts busi ness in an official capacity. Mr. Brent, the Con sul of the United States, now signs passports, and performs the routine business.” Paris, Wednesday, Nov. 11.—the Messager says :—“ The Charge d’Affaires of tbe Uuited States of America, having demanded his pass ports received them yesterdaj^moruing at ten o’clock, and immediately after ordered prepara tions to be made for bis departure ou Saturday. All the papers of the Legation had before beeu seut off to the Uuited States, and persons well informed of the state of things say, that the pe riod of the arrival of the vessel that is conveying them, will determine the tone of the President’s Message at the opening of Congress. If these documents arrive in time, Gen. Jackson will throw out fire and flame against the French Go vernment, whom it will accuse of the infraction of treaties: in the contrary case, he will merely announce to Congress that he is waiting for the answer to the note delivered by bis orders to the Cabinet of the Tuilleries,” Paris, Nov. 11, (Eveniug.)—The statement of the Charge d’Affaires of America having re ceived his passport is confirmed *, iu consequence the French Charge d’Affaires will be recalled from Washington. The Impartial states, that wheu Mr. Barton, the Charge d‘ •'ffaires of the United States, de manded his passports, they were given to him, unaccompanied by any expression of regret at his departure, or any wishes for a more pneifie tone being adopted on the part of his Govern ment. It approves of this , since any iudicatiou of the fear of consequences of his departure would be a compromise of the national dignity. Atlhe same time there is uo fear of an imtnedi- diate rupture, and the choice of a successor to the warlike Jackson, will remove most of the difficulties in the way of negotiation. Howev er it may turn out, vague appreheusious are still caused by this affair, and it is possible that busi ness may be seriously affected by it. Paris, Nov. 12.— It is affirmed that a Com mittee of Instilance Brokers have determined, in consequence of the tttru in the relations of France with the United States, that they will sign uo more risques de guerre a Vanncc undergo percent, for a year’s navigation.

SPEECH OF THE EMPERORNICIIOLAS. Paris, Nov. 11.—Mention has been several rimes made by the Getmau papers of a speech addressed by the Emperor Nicholas to ihe dep utation or Municipal body of Warsaw, upon his late visit to that city, which was only remarkable for its extreme severity and irritatiug character. Although these papers have uot published this document, the following is said to be au authen tic copy, which, from its tone aud spirit, we are led to wish may be spurious: “Geutlemeu!—I know that you have wished to address me, aud am acquainted with the con tents of your intended address; hut to spare you Trotn delivering falsehood, 1 desire that i* may net he pronounced. Yes, geutlemeu. it is to save you from falsehood; for 1 know that your senti ments arc not such as you wish to make me lie- lievo them to be. How can I rut faith in them, when ytfu held the same language to mo on tho eve of the revolution ? Are you not the same persous who talked to mo five and eight years ago of fidelity aud devoteduess, “aud made me the first protesiatious of attachment, and yet," in a very few days after, you violated your oaths, and committed the most violent actions ? The Emperor Alexander, who did more for yen than an Emperor of Russia ought to have done, who iienpcd benefits upon you, who favored you more than h-s own subjects, and who reudered your nation the most flourishing and happy ; the Em peror Alexander was treated with the blackest ingratitude. You never could make yourselves contented with your most advantageous position, aud. iu the end, became the destroyers of your own hap piness. I thus tell you the truth in order to throw a true light upon our relntivo positions, and that you may kuow upon tvhat you have ta depend, for I an: now seeiug ami speaking to you for the first time since tho disturbances Gentlemen, t\ e require actions aud not mere words; repentance should come from the heart; I speak to you without auger, and you must perceive that I ant perfectly calm; I have uo rancour, and 1 will do good even-hi spito of .yourselves.

England would become the intrepotfor the commerce of tho two nations, and iu so far would he a gainer ; hut that still it is highly probable that Congress will uot adopt the warlike views of the Frcsideut, uuless the majority become very much changed in their o- pinions. A declaration of 11011 intercourse would be followed by tho stoppage of that trade, which is now carried on in 300 American vessels, aud which brings into prance sixty millions of pounds of cuttou. The southern Stales, it is know n, are all against a rupture that would ruin them; and tho principal toivos, already threatened by the abolition of tho batiks, arc not at all inclined to admit that tho nniioua! honor is engaged iu the affair of the twenty five millions. The Temps blames the Ministry for their iude- cisiou throughout the whole of the American af fair, and sajs, that either they should have deba ted the articles of the treaty anew, and have es tablished in a more decided manner its basis— and then, if out voted in the Chamber, have re commenced a new svstem of uegoliations, by which the faith due to America, aud the honor and constitutional forms of France, could have beta respected; or else they should have made their ministerial cxisteuce depend upon’the pass ing ol the treaty by the Chambers in an unuiu ti nted form, nnd even without the amendment of M. Volazc. If this had been done, ministers could have held a more vigorous position both with regaid to France and the United States.— As it is. tho country Inis been burdened with 25 millions of debt, a quarrel wilh America has uoi been avoided, and the commercial world is kept iuthodatk, The Temps hopes that the uew e J to ^d per Ih lower than on Friday. sa on Saturday aud today a.*e 4000 hags. .
