December £4, 1B*» "•Peace, on earth and good trill toward min.” “ For unto us a child is born ; un- “ to us a son is given ; and the govern- ment shall be upon his shoulder; and his “ name shall be called wonderful, coun- “ scdlor, the mighty God, the Everlasting 41 Father, the I’rince of Peace. ” As To-morhow will he Christmas Pay, no paper will he published at this ofiice un til Monday evening next. When we contemplate, and look hack for a half a century ago, that this great Continent was humbled by a depcndance on a little island in Europe, as degrading to the dignity of the people, as it was shameful to the prosperity’ of the country, iiow giand the reflection ut tlii> moment! The is.-ue of our revolution rni'sed us to the rank of independence among the sove reigns of the world, and gafe a general and ueep impulse to our immense inherent resources ;—retrieved the degenerated re putation of our forefathers and elevated tlie moral Sentiments of the people-; but at the same time, it brought us unsupported and alone, a little, timid adventurer, ti ro m; the powerful and artful nations of Eur< pc. . w ; •' '1 he pride of an American was gratified with the national characteristic which hnd been recently impressed upon him and he enjoyed in perspective a full range to the bold and hardy enterprise of his. country men. But the political indcpcndeucc of the courtrv was protected by too little p< vver to procure for our sepcr&te rights a jealous attention from others, and the dear idol of commercial independence had period, perhaps, will the future American recur with more prole than to the present. It is true, in after ages he will find more wealth, ami population, and science, and improvement; the arma ments of the great Republic may appear before him with more imposing magnitude and loftier trophies of conquest: he may find them for centuries compelling sub mission to our national dictates against which even hope has failed to present to ri val ambition a prospect of sueecssfiBop position. But lie will look beyond that meridian splendor, to the first glance of light which hutst upon our shaded horizon, when the Constitution struck the British Guirrcre. It was the time of our national chivalry. It was the conquests not merely of our op posing forces, but the opinion of mankind. It was the little combat of our single frig atos, and not the many victories of our fu ture navies, which surprised public opin ion, and caused nations to hang oil the is- sue of a battle, with all the great passion! of the soul suspended on their breathless attention. v The latt war is the epilogue of tin great drama of the revolution; and neve will the eye of ardent curiosity turn bad to the source ot our independence, without stealing along the events which recordtlu first combats of our infant navy. These arc tile times for the romance of patriot ism—it is to these events that poetry and painting will turn the subjects of enchant ment and inspiration. sion of lands to this Sta!C*£aiji{| najovity of the Legislature arc favorably disposed to another Lottery. The bill to niter mid amend the militia laws of this state was introduced at so late a period of the session ns to prevent its being acted upon, and was therefore laid over with much <mior matter of equal importance. The bill to vest the Poor School Fund of the County of Chatham, in the Savannah Free School Society was lost. The im peachment of the Commissioners for sol ing fractions, whose trial will take place the next sitting of the Legislature has created considerable excitement at the eat of government. It is believed that they have been guilty ofgross misconduct. Wo ore happy to state that Gov. Tuottr who had been seriously indisposed for a greater part of the session is now entirely restored to his usual health. He has, wo learn, consented to become a candidate for Governor at the election in October next. It is not yet understood who will he his op ponent. A rumour was afloat at Milledgevillc that Gcii.Nkw.van would certainly receive the appointment of Indian agent for the Floridns. FTGJlTF.ENTJT CONGRESS.

I From the revolution till the clul of the late war, our commerce was little more than a growing treasury for the cupidity of ope, from which neither the danger of higher powers, nor the weakness of lower, prevented a uniform aiul ulmost cmatic course of plunder.

In spite of wrongs we grew licit, and the habit of disgrace had gr on so strongly upon us,, that mam- thought it better to temporise it with shame than to m,cl it.

Law, irrived in town last night; from whom we lenrn that the res olution authorizing the Governor to en tertain Gen. LAFAYETTE, o'a the part of the State, in a manner suitable to his character and services, has passed both Houses UNANIMOUSLY. The bill to extend thc.corporatc limits of the city of Savannah was lost in the Senate. A hill pointing out the qualifications of voters for Aldermen in the city of Savannah, has passed both houses. * The bill requires the previous payment of all city and county taxes, a residence-of six months, &e. The hill for the organization of a Hoard of Pul flic \\ orks, which passed the House of Representatives, was lost in the Sen ate—A resolution, however, was pass propriatiug 10,000 dollars, for the pur pose of employing a civilengiueertomakc urveys preparatory to a system of inter nal improvement, under the direction of the Governor. Jenck’s bill to authorize the cutting of a Canal between the Ogc- chee and Savannah rivers, has pass, _ both Houses, hut the section authorising the loan of 100,000 dollars, was stricken out. The hill to incorporate the Georgia Canal Company was lost by a large, ma jority in the House. The bill to regulate the intercourse between the Banks of this state nnd the Bank of the U. States, so far as regards the demands which may be made.for specie by the latter, and exempt ing the bills and notes of the Banks incor porated by the General Assembly, from bearing interest when in possession of tlie Bank of the United States, if that Bank shall demand the same to be redeem ed in specie, has passed both House flic bill which had passed the senate to ulter the mode of electing Aldermen for s city from general tickets to wards was lost in the House.

The drawing of the Literature Lottery, No. 3. took place on the 15th iiist. The following numbers came from the wheel. 45—3S—1G—10—52—5—58—48—57. Advices from Rio Janeiro to the 23d Oct. received at New York, give gloomy iccounts of the markets, but furnish no po litical news. The Franklin Gazette mentions thnt nil Elephant, which was lately exhibited at Philadelphia, places his keeper upon'his tusks, tosses him up 10 or 12 feet, nnd cate lies him upon his tusks nnd trunk as he falls, and in conclusion gives his keeper a toss into the air, in which the keeper turns a somerset and lands on the hack of thti r i he lute war with England is an era in the history of this country—from thnttime v. e have had neither injury nor indignity; and the republic has enjoyed, for the first time, independence and security. Nor is there much fear that the system of depre- •'awons will ever he renewed. The mari time resources of this young republic are even now second to none hut the country of our forefathers.—We could fight suc cessfully any other nation who might op pose us on the seas; & even England feels that the present generation: will scarcely pass away, before her degraded colonists will place at hazard even per own supre macy. Wu have grown up into the fears and calcinations of Euiopean Cabinets; our weight is counted on in giving prepon derance to the scale, of congregated na tions: with much to entice their favour, wq join much to command their fears, and the apprehensions and sympathies of man- hind will no longer leave us estranged from the common family of nations. The last, war may he said to have nt- chievcd our commercial independence; if put an ('ltd to the opposition which hung on our infant jears, and the era which fol lows the present, will, we fear, rather mark the haughtiness of our exuberant uuw.hood, than the humility of our curly th :>ri >■ iractising in tlie District and Circuit Courts of the District for Georgia; was passed. The bill to appoint a weigher for the city of .Savannah passed the House of Representatives, hut received the go-bv in tbo senate and was consequently lost. The bill to incorporate the St. Andrew’s Society of Savannah, has passed both Houses. Previous to the adjournment of the Legislature, a messnge was received from the Governor,intimating thatit might be necessary to call an extra session of the Legislature, to dispose of the land which may be obtained by the present Indian treaty, and requesting the Legislature to fix the time when such call would he most convenient. The month of May was a- greed upon. A bill prohibiting the selling of free negroes who may come into this State, has passed both Houses. The reso lution which was introduced for the pur pose of instructing our representatives in Congress to vote for Gen. Jackson for the Presidency, provided Mr. Crawford’s chance of election was defeated, was lost in the House by a vote of 30 to 09. An attempt was made the next day to rc.-con- sider the resolution,but it was negatived by a large majority. AVc also learn that there was no doubt hut that the treaty now going on between the Creek Indians nud our Commissioners at Fort Mitchell, would tenuinate in the jees- W ASHINGTON, Dec. 15. John Gaillard 1ms been re-clcctcd a Senator of the United Stdte.s from the State of South Carolina, for six years from the third day of March next, when his term of service will expire.

Mr Newton, it is well known to most renders* is,’and has been for three or four years, the Father of the Mouse of Rcpre- cntntive.s He is the only remaining Member who was a Member at the time of the passage of the celebrated Embargo Latv. There arc several gentlemen in Con- utcss who were Members before Mr New ton was, ot whom Mr Senator King, of New York, is ihc oldest,he having been a Senator from Massachusetts in the tir. t Congress (I7S9.) The. next oldest to him, probably, is Mr Senator Smith, of Maryland, or Mr Senator Macon, the lat ter of whom has never been out of Con gress a single session since he entered it thirty years ago. Had lie not been trans ferred to the Semite, lie would of course have been the oldest Member of the House of Representatives.— Nat. Lit. John McLean lma been elected a Sen ator of the U.

[The motion of Mr. Barbour, it w as un derstood, comprehended, besides others, that portion oftbe Message which relates to the suppressionof piracy and of pirates, oil tin 1 Island ofCutm, A e. as well as on the water. The question of reference gave rise to some eonversation oil the part of Mr. Barbour, Mr. Ilayne, nnd Mr. Lloyd, of Mass, which Was interesting, ns it indicated a strong desire and determina tion in the Senate to leave no effort unem ployed to effectually protect our commerce from piracy in the W cst Indian seas, and to extirpate the freebooters, who now, by the facilities of concealment afforded to them in the Island of Culnt, &sc. prey on onr commerce, and commit such atroci ties on those who fall into tlieir hands. In the course of the conversation, Mr. Ilayne and Mr. Lloyd both intimated an inten tion they had respectively formed, to bring tlie subject fully before the Senate, by spo ilt! inquiries.] Mr. Vein Btircu presented the Memorial of the inhabitants of the City of New York, on the subject of l’irncy.

The petition, there fore, prayed— ' 1. That the right of mi unmolested pas sage, for persons and property, upon a dc signnted route, between the frontiers of Missouri and the Internnl Provinces of Mexico, might be obtained by treaty stip ulations from the Indians referred to. 2. Thnt a military post nnd an Indian agency might be established on the Arkan sas river, at the. point of the intersection of thnt river by the proposed route.] ' The petition upon the motion of Mr. Benton, w as referred to tlie Committee on Indiun Affairs.

[By this statement, it appears that $89,- 849 G5 have been expended on the Capi tol, and' $5,889 58 on the President’s House. The interior of tho Capitol is now finished, with the exception of some paint ing on the stone work, and the has relief ornaments of tlie Rotundn. On tho col onnade of the Portico; thirteen columns out of twenty four have been worked and set; the quarrying of tho rest' in rapid progress. The South Portico of the Pre. sidcnl’s Ilottsc has been completed for less than the estimate; the north Portico re mains yet unfinished.] 2.

" ' BALTIMORE, Dec. 15. On Friday last, a soldier deserted from the fort, under circumstances which induced a belief that he had stolen forty dollars from ono of the officers. As soon as it was known,that he had gone, Major Belton dispncjfed a Sergeant, nud a file of men in senrchofhim, who having speut several hours in useless search, fortunate ly met Mr North, n vigilant watchman on tho Point, and after giving him a descrip tion of him, he recognised in the per ion described n man whom he hnd noticed through-the evening, a3 having changed his dress, nnd was induced, from that cir cumstance, to trace lam to Ills dtjji among the frail sisterhood on the Causeway, and to which plucc he piloted the Sergeant and his., comrades, and by making a rapid movement upon the gentleman’s bed cham ber,tsurprized him ia tho arms of his “denree.” He mnde ho resistance, hut after dressing himself, accompanied the watchman and the guard of soldiers very qnictly to theWhtch House, where lie was deposited for safe keeping, until morning. After the prisoner lmd been locked up in one of the prison rooms, tho Sergeant sta ted to Capt. Evans that he hud better tnkc pare, as lie was a bad fellow, and hnd dirk, upon which the captain concluded would he best to take it from him before the guard retired, nnd for that purpose called him oat into the guard room, nnd demanded of the prisoner whether he had not n dirk, to which he very civily replied he had; the captain then approached near er to him, nnd asked him to give it to him mid to which request he civilly replied thnt he would, nnd putting his hand into the side pocket of his coat, drew out the dirk and stabbed both Cnpl. Evans and the Sergeant utmost at the same instant Cnpt. Evans was stabbed on the breast and the Sergeant on the breast nnd just below the stomach. At the moment of stabbing, he took to his heels nnd succee ded in tanking his escape, the Sergeant attempted to follow him hut fell at tho door from the loss of blood, he was how ever pursued by a file of soldiers und sev eral watchmeii up Market street, and was overtaken by one of tho soldiers opposite to Ramsay’s Rope Walk, who in order stop him, pricked him in the back with his bayonet, which lmd the effect to arrest his progress; hut ho no sooner stopped than ho wielded his dirk with such dread-* ful certainty, that the soldier received seven stabs in the rencontre, and the vil lain succeeded in getting off and eluded all search for the remainder of the night. Ho was, however, pursued by order of Major Belton, in the morning, on tlie Phil adelphia rond, whiflicr it was conjectured he had bent his course; and wns arrested and brought back. But such was the de termined spirit of the villinn, that he bran dished his steel in defiance of the guard when they came up with him, and it was not until a pistol lmd been Bn apt at him that lie gave himself up. He is now safe ly lodged in our jail, where lie Will remain until the Court sits, when he will have justice measured out to him. It appears, that when undergoing an examination before the Justice, he behaved with great rudeness, and manifested a total iudiffer- nco ns to the fate that awaited him. 1-slni. soil of the Governor ofKchtuckv . sled lor the murder of Francis Baker of m " r ‘ 1 i:!’- n ?_ sU [ c A h !. 0 ", 1-lnst -.": 0 s' 1 ^ tho’ fon 0 3 w, E?
