but in the case of Mr. Clay. There might
be some palliation in a military man for
such a Course, but none for n legislator,

CONGRESS,
On the 31st of January and 1st inst the
Senate were engaged in discussing the bill
for the suppression of Piracy ; the motion
to strike out the 3d section, which author
izes the blockade of the ports of Cuba,
under certain circunistunces, being still
pending—
A debate oecuvcd which Messrs. Mills,
Lloyd, Van Burcn, Barbour, llayne,
Smith and Macon took part; the four first
advocating the retention ofthe section and
the latter in favor of striking it out.
The question was then taken on striking
out the section of the bill and cart ted in
the affirmative. Yeas 36, Nays 10.
Mr. Van Buren then moved to recom
mit the Bill to the Committee on Foreign
Relations, with the following instructions,
Resolved, That the bill “For the sup
pression of Piracy in the West Indies,”
i)e recommitted to the Committee on For
eign Rotations, with instructions to report
amendments thereto, giving power to the
President, on its being satisfactorily pro
ved to him that any of the pirates men
lion in the shid act, find refuge in any of
the cities or ports of the said island of-Cu
ba, or other Islands mentioned in the said
bill; and.that tho local governments oftlm
said Islands, on being requestechso to do,

U. States for trial und adjudication, ns

the U. States may prescribe and further,
to nilthqrize reprisals on the commerce
nnd property of tho inhabitants of the said

On tho 31st ult in tho House of Rep
resentatives, Mr Forsyth, from the Com
Inittce on Foreign Relations, mode a re
port on the subject of piracy qad outrages
on American commerce by Spanish pri-
vateers; which was referred to a commit
tee of the whole House. •
Ori motion of Mr Forsyth, of Geo. it
was v .,
Resolved, That the Committee on Ih-
dian Affair? bo instructed to inquire into
the expediency of making an appropria
tion for tho extinguishment ofthe Indinn
title to land lying in tho state of Georgia,
by purchases from those Creek and Cher
okee Indians who reside within the limits
of the said state.
Mr Forsvth also offered tho following
resolution which was laid on the table fur
one day—
Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Department of War be, and he is hereby,-
directed to lay before ths House a copy
of the report of the Commissioners ap
pointed to treat with the Creek Indians
for the extinguishment of their claim
to land lying in the state of Georgia, of
the journals kept by tho said Commission
ers, nnd the correspondence respecting
the causes that have prevented tliem from
effecting the object of their appointment ;>
also, a copy of all the letters written to
the Creek Indian Agent on that subject,
from tire Department of War.
The. engrossed bill to reduce into one
the several-aits regulating the Post Office
Department, reported by the comirffttce
of which. Mr J. T. Johnson is Chuirnuiii,
was rcucl a third time, passed, an d sept to
the Senate.
In the House on tlie 1st inst. The reso
lution ofterdd the day before by Mr For
syth,'culling for the report of tho Commis
sioners appointed, to treat with the Creek
Indians for a cession of their lands, was
taken up.
Mr FORSYTH said, as he wished to
attract the attention of the House and of
the public to a subject of very .great inter
est to the state of Georgia,-he would slate
-vhnt had keen communicated to him re
specting it.
Tim law oftlie last session, making an
appropriation for the extinguishment of
the Creek titlo to lands in Georgia, was
founded on a document sent by the Presi
dent to Congress; a letter from the Com
missioners, who had been holding a talk
with the Cherokecs, which stated, on the
authority ofthe Creek Indian agent, and
some of the Greek chiefs, that that wds a
favorable time for a treaty with the tribe
After the tict passed, when hp 'could not
tell, orders were given to the agent to
collect them at the Broken Arrow.
While this act was under the considera
tion of a committee, the Indian agent
was in Washington, find certain Cbcrokep
chiefs, whose treatment by the Executive,
nnd pretentions, would be reco|lected.
They came to protest against-all appro
priations to purchase lands from,them,
and fo declare they would dispose ofntx
more, eithei* by sale or in exchange. Not
satisfied with their own success, they
were disposed to extend the benefits of
their negociat ion to the neighboring tribes.
Mr F", understood that one ofthe chiefs
hail sent.a\l their correspondence with
the Secretary of War, &c. to the Big
Warrior, advising tjmt the Creeks should
follow their example. However that
might be, certain it was, that some of the
Creek chiefs had a meeting at Tuckabot-
cliec, in Alab. near the town ofMontgom-
cry, and determined to follow the pattern
ofthe Cherokecs. Not satisfied ityith this,
as the meeting called by the agent was to
take place in November, another meeting
was held by the Creeks,.at Pole. Cat
Spring, in October, and ibc determina
tion made at Tuckabotchce was confirm
ed, and ordered to be madeqntblic. The
two documents were published as a sort
of manifesto the world that no more Creek
lands would be spld to the U. States.
These documents were signed by the
Little Prince, his mark, by the Bing Bow
Warrior, his mark; the Head,Wolf, his
mark, &c.; none of the persons signing
the first being able to read or to write,
load but one or wo Who signed tlw second-
.The commissioner's of the United States,
m tllcir way to. the Broken Arrow, hom'd,
for the first time, of those strange papers,
the Indian agent not having considered it
his duty either to prevent the determina
tion they announced, or to communicate
thorn to the , War Department; the sub
agent, who ate the bread ofthe U. States,
was active iu pronioting these determina
tions, and was supposed to bo the Secre
tary of one, if not of both the meetings.
The commissioners found tho Creeks, to
tho number of 10 or 15,000, assembled ot
the Broken Arrow, roady to assist in con
suming the 50,000 dollars appropriated
by Congress for tiio expnnsos of the trea
ty. Their chiefs living in Alabama de
termined not to make a trenty; the sub
ugont, nctively employed to defeat the
wishes of tho Government, anti the prin
cipal agent acting a part of dignified neu
trality, because ho had not been instructed
by the See’y of the JJcpt. of War to pro
mote the view's of Congress, no trenty
cqu Id be formed, ns might have been ex
pected. Notwithstanding the manifesto
of tlui chiefs Ahe hostility of the sub-agent,
and the dignified neutrality of the princi
pal, the commissioners found 24 chiefs;
representing all tho Indians residing In
Georgia, willing to remove to the West,
and give up all the land occupied by them
—all the Creek Indian claim in the limits
of that state. These chiefs represented
about 10,000 Indians, and their price, in
eluding all tho expenses for their removal,
was 8300,000. Unfortunately, the coin
-inissioners did not conceive ‘ themselves
authorized to rnukc a contract with them.
One of the commissioners cainc to this
place to ask that authority from tho Ex
ecutive. It was not given. Now instruc
tions had been given, and a new meet
ing was to be held, from winch tho Presi
dent seemed to expect a more favorable
result. Mr F. apprehended that the pre
sent effort would- not be more fortunate
than the last.
Mr. F. said he felt great reluctance to
state what he Imd been informed the.Ex
ecutive. had directed to he done in this
stage of things. He hoped that the docu
ments might shew thnt he was mis-infonn-
od. For their insolent interference to ob
struct the execution of one of the laws of
tho, United States, the wishes of Congress
nnd the instructions of the Executive, tho.
Cherokee chiefs were to be reproved by
tho Secretary of War. '“The principal
Creek agent, who was a dignified neutral
between his own government and the
Creeks; who thought a law of Congress
and the instructions of the Executive to
the commissioners, not sufficient to mnkr
it his duty to act with the commissioners.
ho was to be reprimanded by the Secreta
ry of War. The .only decisive step, was
the removal of the suit-agent. The ; site
ccssor of the siih-agcnt, no doubt warned
by the fate of his predecessor, would take
care to npe tho conduct of the principal
and he ostensibly neutral, secretly hostile
Such .were the circumstances under which
Mr. F. had felt it his duty to bring the sub
ject before the House, by his resolution
adopted yesterday, and that now under
consideration. ■ •,
The President, in hi* late message to
Congress, had connected the performance
of the obligations of the United States to
Georgia, with tiio great plan of collecting
all the Indians in our western territory,
for the purpose of civilizing them. Of this
plan, it was not now proper, to speak. It
might he wisy, humane, and politic, hut
Mr. F. protested against connecting the
performance of tho obligations ofthe Urii-
ted. States, under the net of cession of
1802, with that plan. He slioujd consider
a determination to that effect.as an iiidefi
nite postponement of justice, to Georgia
He hoped the committee on Indian Affairs
would consider them separately, and bring
the tWo subjects separately and distinctly
before the House, whatever might.their
opinions Upon them; - -rSj
The resolution was then agreed to with
out opposition.
The resolution offered by Mr. O’Brien
calling for information relative to outran
gescommitted upon our fisherman in the
Bay of Funday, was taken up and agreed
to.
The hill making appropriation for tb
support of Government for the year 1825
was taken up in committee of the whole
Among the amendments offered to this
bill.
Mr. Tattnall, of Georgia,' moved,
clause, making provision for tho -payment
of Georgia militia claims, of the period of
1793—94, in which he was supported by-
Mr. Forsyth. A question of order arose,
which gave occasion to considerable dis
cussion on the part of Messrs Tattnall
Taylor, Forsyth, Hamilton, Campbell
Clay, and atul Webster. It was finally
decided, that, inasmuch as the report of
the Committee of Military Affairs, in res
pect to those claims, had been taken frojn
a committee of the whole, and recommit
ted to the committee, with instructions, it
was not in order to introduce a proposition
into this hill on that subject.
The"committee-then rose, and reported
the bill, as ametfded, and it was ordered
to be engrossed for a third reading.

were highly gratified at the performance
of Divine Sorviceby Mr Greer, the Cha

During the continuance of the service,
the officers nnd seamen, in number nine
hundred nnd sixty, manifested the most
profound and respectful attention. More
solemnity and decorum could not have
been observed in any of our churches ou
land. Tho intervening time between the
sermon and the hour of dinner, was spent
by tho visitors in ngrecable npd interesting
conversation, and in re-examining such
objects of curiosity as had struck them
with peculiar force; after looking again
at the stupendous workmanship and pre
paration of the ship, nnd Imr menus of
fence or defence, tho visitors were lea to
notice n very hundsome and well feloctcd
library, of about eleven hundred volumes,
purchased by private individual coiitrilut*

to the ship. . , . ’
Tho Commodore had nerved up a sump
tuous dinner, of which-the visitors par
took with the zest which the occasion
was calculated to inspire.
At about 5 o’clock thc'/Company left
the ship, and set out on their return—the
salute, &c.being repeated.- Nothing, we
are told, appeared to the landsmen more
remarkable in this scene, than the great
activity and adroitness with which the
seamen manned the yards ofthe ship.
