tiition, feelings and intentions of those In

ties as a United States officer, for Mr.
Walker to become a party with the Iridians
against the State of Georgia and the Gen

surabic to thwart .thus the just and phi Ion

pointed to fill their places, who will dis

News”:—
Contrary to expectation the Connrtis-
sioners oftho United States have failed in
tlic object of their missions*, no treaty has
beeq concluded with the Creek Indians
for thc extinguishment of their title to
lands within tho limits of Georgia. An
other ntttcmpt is contemplated next
spring, when success is c nfidently antici
pated. Though the people of Georgia
have to regret the fuilurc of a treaty, yet
some things have been brought to light
which probably would not have been so.
9ootHtnown, and which ueyelopc and ex
plain the principal causes which have pre
vented to this day an amicable adjustment
of the cluim8 of Georgia upon the gener
al government, and tlie purchase of land
from the Indians. Tjic people of thc
state will hardly believe that n most nefn-
ous combination had been formed, and
carried into effect,bv Certain individuals,to
frustrate the good intentions of the Presi
dent of the U. States respecting thc claims
of Georgia, to deceive thc general govern
ment, and to prevent a cession of land
from being made by the - Indians for thc
benefit of this state. Thc most dishonor
able means were employed by these indi
viduals to accomplish tlieir object; bank
rupt in fame and fortune in ail likelihood,
they had no other resource to retrieve both,
if fame, when once lost, cun he retrieved
by tho acquisition of wealth, but by prey-
ingoit the public treasure, and hy a mono
polizing trade with the Indians. To cor
ruption, treachery, and profligacy, must
now be attributed the delay in.extinguish
ing thc title to lands within the limits of
Georgia, and thc differences which have
unhappily' spvung up bctvveep this state
and thc government of tho United States.
Though slow u coming, the day of retribu
tion is nt last art ived: and we buve not a
single doubt, that the President, apprized
ces we would hot publish, though reques
ted, having been informed thnt they had
been w ritten at tho Agency, and publish
ed without the participation of the whole
Crock nation.”

thc state of Georgia m difficulties with thc
general government.
‘‘Some time in May last wc ascribed the
failure of u treaty with tho Cherokee Indi-
aiisto some citizens high in Office, who, to
accomplish political designs, were urging
telniidestmely those Indidns to remain
firm in their refusal to cede their land for
the benefit pf Georgia. Wc obtained our
information at thc time from an undoubt
ed .source; and we would have been more
explicit had we not then harbored thc idea,
that thc President of the United States
would have been made acquainted with all
the facts connected with the negociation
for a treat/, which must have been trans
mitted to the proper department of the na
tional cxccutivo by the Commissioners,
and that agreeably to such intelligence,
he would have adopted speedy measures
to bring to p happy conclusion the exist
ing difierence between Georgia and the
general government. Our information
lias been confirmed since hy the discove
ry ofeertain political and private opera
tions connected with tho Indians, the state
of Georgia, and the national government,
with, which the people vtill be made ac
quainted in due time, Wc can ouly say
at this time, that it was the interest of con
tain individuals to keep thc President in
total darkness respecting tho Indians:
political designs had not yet been accom
plished, nor enough mouey mode ; which
qtgccts would not have been realized hud
the-Pr&sidcnt had a full knowledge of the
actual condition of tlie C'hcrokees, and
of tlie menns employed to make them
adopt a policy entirely, contrary,to their
best interest. But tfcusoriablo transac
tions, cannot long remain concealed;

cerning the Creeks, will' hasten /the

Shocking effect of Jealously.—A few
days ago, a negro sailor in this town hav
ing become jealous of his wife, was ro-.
primanding her for her inconstancy ; he
was either so mortified or cxn,sperated at
some reply she made him, that he attemp

Interesting'Relic.—A revolutionary of

ered between thc Jeaveifbf an old volaino,
where it'had been forgotten along time,a
miniature portrait of the unfortunate Ma
jor Andre, sketched by himself, with a pen,
in thc place of his consignment. It was
presented by Andre himself to the officer
of tlie guard, on duty at the time, and by
the officer to the gentleman who now pos
sesses it.
* In consequence of some difficulties he
tween tlie Post-Office' and Custom-House,
aUIIhlifax, masters of vessels refuse to can
ry letters end papers froth tlic IJ, States,
as well as from other places. The injury
to Merchants is very great.
Frcemusons— merchandise imported hy aliens, or on
the Temple of foreign account. The discrimination was
desirable for the sake of tlio statistical
fact, as well as for other purposes; nnd he
f-aw no reason Why We should allow alien
importers to bond their duties, on Ion
credits, without interest, when it was well
known our native merchants wore serious
ly injured by this extension of, the credit
system in favour of foreigners. In the
printed document, No. 13, the Secretary
suys;'
Whatever motives there may he for nl
lowing a credit for duties to our o#n eiti
zens, no sufficient rcasop is, perceived for
continuing it to foreigners, who nre not
domiciliated in the republic. A discrim
iuation,iu this respect, between citizens of
tho U. States and others, would tend to
confine the commerce pfthc nation to its
own citizens* and would aid in restrain
in" ihe practice of shipping merchandise
tOvthis country, upon consignment, for
foreign account, w hich 1ms hitherto been
found to interfere with the interests of our
own regular merchants.”
This opinion,, from the head of the Trca
sury Department, would vqeuirc nothing
to enforce it,und whatever objections might
exist against thc topnl abolition of the ere
tilt system, thcr.c ought to be no oppsitlttn
fo the abolition of so much of it as applies
It would appear, he said, from the two re
ports alluded to, that, tlic duties on credit
as bonded in i§23* amounted to twenty
three nnd one him millions, in round num
bers, and that tlic interest thereon, rit six
por centum per annum, if allowed, would
amount,tin round numbers, to $1,150,000,.
The total nrqouut of imports bonded' for
payments on credit, from 1789 up to 18*23,
wqsstoted nt 527-. millions; which, upon
the ratio of interost for the year!823,- (ns
before stated,) would give a grorid total of
$26,000,000. Rut, as the merchants pay
,p6 interest on these bonds, 4 it might be
considered as n donation of that amount.
He hadlieprt told by intelligent merchants,
