The British Minister need onjynowtri’sSy to Russia, "Europe will be your guarantee far the free navigation of the Dardanelles; but ,the. pnblie interest forbids that you should ake one in eh pf ground from Turkey, or advance a singla step beyond the Pruth.” ,lf not satisfied with this peacable assur ance, there are other means of enforcing it upon the Ministers of big Imperial Majesty 'whichmight be employed, at easily a# hin • ted at, by any half dozen men of war in the British navy " _ v , The formal recognition of the oiaiins to the throne, of the young Queen of Portu gal, by his Majesty of England, mnst place Don Miguel irf anaWkward predicament. We should imagine that all intercourse be- tweon jhese two governments foilst now be finally cloud. The following aepount of their meeting is from a late London paper. Yesterday the young, Queen ofPnrtug.il was received hy hii Majesty, at Windsor, with.alj the honors beoomlng her rank,— With all'the regard.and friendship do-< to centuries of political alliance, and with all the sympathy pptj kindness inspired by Iter youth and'situatidn. To render tlie cere-, mnny more imposing, His Majesty, was surrounded with his Mfoiriers, .with tjio Graifll Ofiicers of his Household, and with the Princesses of the blood. The efforts which Ilia Majey.iy made to plpase .his fair, and youthful visitor, were sndi as hecame rather his gallantry'and kindness of dispo sition towards her. than , bis regard to Iris ciwn very delicate health.' A He led her from the entrance stairs, and exerted himself to walk with her round the apartments. He assured her that tile delay in receiving her was not hi* fault, bu.tthavofiiis health; he conrened with Iter affably,, even using totns words of .Por tuguese; he drank to her at the collation which was gireu,as his y'oupg. ally, and exhibited evBry symptom of an Infercst in fiet fortunes,. In drinking' hfo^Majesty’d health in return, the yoting" Qneen said, with amiable gratitude, that in giving that toast she only gave one which she drank every day gt her o.wp table.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FntnAY, January 18,18*0. Debate on thr. Hill for the tafottolMMnff thf Citizens of Georgia, fbr depredations od their property, committed J.V^tke Creek, by Indians, print to the ytat 180i. Tlta House was In Committee of the Wholet Mr Condict In tho Chair. • - - The question was upon tha adoption of tho amendment proptiitB I by Mr. Thoinp- ■OIV, to substitute, in tlie report of tho Com mitteo fin Indian Affairs, the word dexpe- dicr.t.” in lieu of the word "inexpedient,” in relation',to the propriety of further ie- gishdon on tlie lubjriot. ,. • . • r Mr. Gilmer lenritrked, that after the am pie discussion which the subjeot before the cdinniittee hud reeelved, lie slionl.d content himself with staling one or twii facts con nected with it, and adding a few neoossary. comments. The first question,said Mr Gilmer,which presented itvell for determination was, to whom the . unexpended balance of the *840,OOd-A belonged,•'after satisfying Georgia claimants.' 118 bad no doubt Ihst'it belonged to the U. Slates. Wlien, however, ho admittod this,lie wished it n be understood, that ancoidlng to his inter pretation of the contract between tlie Unit ed States, Georgia and tlie Creeks t all parties supposed, that when that contract wasfoithfoilr executed, there wot' * probably bo ho balance whatavori Mr. Gilmer, said, that thiematter would be better understood by * knowledge of the cficumstunccs under whiolt that con tract was enterp^ lulu. In 18JI,Comin|s •loners on tltb'inirt of the United! •States, proceeded, to'tmikd a treaty with the Creek Indians, for the extinguishment-of .their tiliejo lands in Gobrgia, in pitrstoanco of an appropriation of money specially made by Congress for that- purpose. That ac cording to inttructiona given to-lhose Com iniisioners by lltfe War Department, (arid here hd wished the Chairman of tlie Com mittee on Indtaii Affairs, to correct him if he wgs in .an Orrorrjtliny were not to exrrod to cents per«crp in. price for. those , they should acquire of the Creeks. That ac cordingly, the Commissioners hod cnntrac ted with thitt-tribe. that it should cedo to the Uidted Hutevfor, the benefit of Geor gia, 4 1-3 millions tif acres, for which they were to receive |440,OOOi That after these term* hxd.been agreet| upon, hut be fore tho treat! had been signed, Cornells sinners on. (impart of Georgia-presented to tlie Creek Chiefs, claims of tlie citizetrs nf that Shilfl against their trilm ambrintingto tlie sum of 1318,000) and required that,they should bo adjusted. It was then agrded he tween the, severql parties that the Creeks should receive of ills United State* ’fitOO,- ooo in tiioneyXor their laddi and the re- ma ining $Z40,000, vrliiclt • they were to hare received, ahould be paid by tlie Uni ted. Slates to the State of Georgia, for the benefit of her citizens, .who, had rrcei/ed injuries from the Greeks; subject however.' to the investigation nniL determjq ition of the President «f the STuttcrt States. Io pttrs'.ence of which agreement, Mr. Gil mer observed,., that-tlie Commissioners of Georgia, gave to the Creek tribe a receipt m full of all claims, debts, damages and property, whioh thn citizens of that Stale, hud against that tribo, prior to 1803. And the the United States agreed to pay fo the citizens of Georgia, those claims, debts, damages and property. piovided the same did not exceed JMn.ooo. Mr. Gilmer ob sei ved, that each of tire purtieuo this con tract seemad to have had eqnal reason to be satisfied. The Indians, half'fold their land for a larger consideration than usual,' and with 8340,000 of the price, had paid an account which the Georgians hurl a- gainst ilicni of thirty years standing, most of wliifch they had frequently acknowledged to liejust, and amounting to the ‘sum of 8388,000. The Georgians were very much pleased, because, by the construction which tho United Slates had put upon the. Con stitution, tlteir own State Government had not the power of. compelling'the Creeks to restore their property, or otherw ise to do them justice; by which preyously it had satined as it they were to have been de prived entirely.of redress for their injuries. most entirely driven beyond its limits, the Creek Indians und their allies. At its conclusion, feelings of hostility had not ceased , to exist.. Uepoated Injuries tvoro inflicted iipuu tlie frontier inhabitants, which the weakness of the Slate Govern ment rendered it iinablo to punish. At tempts were frequently made to .concilium the Creeps. Treaty after trinity was made from 17*8 to 1700, they were, however, broken as often as made, without tlie Gov sionto do so, a considerable portion of tlie Injuries received by the people of Georgia nt tlie Creek Indian., previous totlieniAk- Krniuant having the power to enforce them The frontiers w'erpvery extensive, and the population so scattered, that • the Indiuns had an easy access info the country every wlrete, for tliev purposes Of ^plunder., M’he peoplo were compelled to protect 'them selves by foriifiiatiorit of their owu making. Block houses were erected by \hom, and htannad by voluntary, sol-vice, ill order to intercept and punish the predatory parties of the Indians. This service was batreme ?y btltthonsbma to Inhabitants, Jus( arrived nom distant parts nftile U. 8." nnd with scanty means of support. Mr. Gilmer con tinned to say,that the loss ufs*nvot, horses and cattle, could not then Ire repaired In the peoplo, as they could at tlie present time. The value of such property was far greater then than bf 1 present: The. country was to be clearethrf its forests to And tho CoinmUston'ers of the -United. .conditions ofprsutfos.'..... States were gratified, because they had been enabled not only to perform the pur pose for which they had been originally ap pointed by procuring- a Valuable tract of country for the State of Georgia, but alio,' to rentier an esseqtlal serried to a large class of inittred citizens. . There was atvoa possibility, that by assuming the payment of the claims of the citizens of Georgia, with the powei given to the President to ad judicate those - claims, that tlie (foiled States might -have a less lupj to advance tljan that which it would otherwise huve been obliged to have paid to the Indian’s.— It was to, be, .remarked, .toof Mr, Gilmer said, that tl^e United Slates’ Commissio. - ers hiftf tulfen carp that this Government should not, in nny event, pay more than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,nnd with a further beneficial proviso^ that wltal- ever sum should bo found due, might be paid in four annual instalments and with- out interest. ’ Mr. Gilmer obierred. thnt if yhe' vie w he.bad taken oTtlie contract between "all the-parties was correct; lie thought there could bo no difficulty as to the disposition of what should remain of (lie-tWo hundred and fifty thousand dollars-aftcr satisfying all tlie GeOrgiZ cloinraim. -Mr. Gilmer said’that lie would proceed to show that die y. 8/ Government had not done justice to the citizen* of Georgia in its adjudication of their demands against foe Creek Indians* They "had he*n to"d! that they should be satisfied, because that adjudinutloti was made by an arbiter- cho sen by themselves.- Tire propet answer to which Mr. Gilmet said, was that that cir cumstance aggravated the feelings excited by the injustice done them, especially ns "nit arbiter had gained in proportion to Sir, said Mr: Gilmer! th!< government never can compensate tlie citizens of G4or gia for tho. injuries they received (Vom their' savage neighbours. Those injuries Could not be estimated in money. Mr. Gilmer anid that the most rigid rules had boon impose.) by tlie Government dp. on itself, in allowing the claims of the citi zen*, of Georgia. He did not intend to say tii.it tlie Government intended thoreby th disinjustice to those,cilizens.lle thought ■bat tlie peculiar circumstances undfcr "hicli those claims had arigfnatoil, hiid ne vor been considered by tho 1 Gi.vurnnient: Hud that been done, Ini believed it..would l-ave been convinced tlrat the 825o,000 was’ a very inadequate satisfaction nf those claims. Mr- Gilmer thon proceeded to say that during lire revolutionary war, the inhabitants of Georgia were at one time, al- fit It'for ■cultivation.- Laboir was nbt to-be lilted. There was no supplying the place of n lost Itnrsb.or stolen eattltdiecnuse the people in moving from Virginia nnd Ntfilh Carolina, found It dilQculi to, carry sr-itls them a sufficient •ripply for their dwn use. The loss of entile, Air. Gilmer said, was partlcuirly felt, because, thereby tlie peo ple were deprived of their most useful and cheapest means’of. subsistence. One of tlie prioeipal inducementt to tho settlement of the country, had b -en tlie advantages which its extensive range presenlcd.aboiin ding as it did with grass and cane. The exuherarice of tho natural-’ vegeta tion of the country, inflead of proving un advantage to the settlers, was frequently tlie occasion nf their greater.losses, by ex- posindHteir horses und stock to the thlev mg halms of the Indians. Upttlie injuries, Mr. Ulllncr saidyrvtiicli tire frontier inlinbitants-suffered by having their properly plundered ’ and destroyed, were accompanied by evils, the -extent of which, could be only,, known to those who hud-felt them. -He said; it was his fortune to have been a native of tho country,which bordered both oil tlie Creek itrtd'Cherokee limiting grounds, lie could-yet rer'dloct tho - horrid views of the'- Indian- scalping knife, which-were presonted to him; In the dreams of his childhood.
