None; 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, Mr. Walker, the sub-agent for Indian Affairs, hhs made a long statement iu the Montgomery Republican, in which lie at tempts to justify the course of conduct pursued by liirn, in relation to tho Indian treaty, between the United States’ Com missioners and the Creek Indians. Some light is shed on this subject,by the speech of MiForayih, which will be found in our Congressional summary.

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, neglect or refnse.to nid in the.apprehen sion, prosecution, hud couvictioti of Such pirates, to give authority to the crews of -the arpied vessels of the United Sfntcs, tin dor such instructions us mny be given them, to tand.oii tho said island's, in search of pirates, nndthere to subdue, vanquish, and capture them, nnd bring themi to the U.

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. tho Company. The'Steam-Bont arrived nt Ragged Foint between 7 ami 8 okjlock in* the morning on Sunday.

Upon the arrival of the President, Se cretary of the Navy, &c. oil hoard the the riltip, three Itoarty cheors were given by tho crew, with appropriate music from tho Baud, and immediately thereafter u salute was fired, the effect of which was grand. After havingbecn on board some time, interchanging salutations, &c. the Provident and other visitors word conduc ted through the several docks ofthe ship, and its various upartments, which exhibi ted a style of neatness and economical arrangement; greatly surpassing tho most favorable anticipations. It appeared thilt there was a place for every tiling, and that every thing Was in its placet This inspection being ended, the Coin panv returned to tho upper deck, and were highly gratified at the performance of Divine Sorviceby Mr Greer, the Cha plain appointed for the ship.— 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* tions from the officers aud men belonging 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. The North Carolina is pronounced, by the best judges, to lie n very superior ship of her class. She mounts 90 guns, and is pierced for 102. On the upper deck she measures 229 feet; from the flying gib-boom to the ring-tail boom, tho dis tance is 380 feet. From the upper extre mity of the main mast to the boftom of the keel, is 280 feet. Taking her alto gether, she is a moat inagniiicieut and truly grand object, and will, it is hoped add to the credit ofher name and nation Nut, ini, 2el inst.

The accounts from the United States lead us to antici pate that tfijs will be generally the case with the produce of Carolina and Georgia and so far .a* our information, which very insufficient, extends, we may expect from North America a sajtply about equal to that of the present year; as the export from the Gulf of Mexico is still represented as likely to very be abundant We have no letters of Into date from Egypt, ’nnd theextent of the.crop contin ues therefore to very vaguely stated at 200,000 to 250,000 bags.
