Paris 1 August $. *
SlßE—Your majesty, by an ordinance
•of July 20- removed all the restrictions
which the law of October 31, IBi4, hid
imposed upon the liberty of the press ;
but at «%|l times, perhaps, it is impossi
ble to allow the same extent of freedom
to the publication of journals and perio
dical papers: and in the midst of |p ma
ny passions which the powers wuh to
allay, jourrt'als winch nourish Sc
those passions, ought to be subject tp
I another legislation.
I. operation 1 of these writings is ve
| ry rapid in Us effects!— in an instant they
i reach thousands *f readers. A Whole
people>read them without \tt
places of public- resort and as their num
ber is limited they cannot furnish the’
remedy which is found in the mass of
literacy publications, where the liberty
of the press serves to correct’’ itself—
Ihe same publications, which compre
hend news advertisements, complaints|
articles which the editors receive from 1
alfparts, are like an arena* opened for
all the passions ; even cupidity fiuds it
an advantage to give them the exclusive
complexion of such or such a party. Ex
perience cannot leave a doubt of the e*
vils which they produce or the absolute,
danger of leaving them at absolute liber
ty; Every day they compromit us
with the foreign powers, and awaken
their distrust of us ; they disconcert the
generous, efforts which your majesty
made to unite the minds of the people
and close the wounds of the state.
1 propose to your majesty to subject
all periodical thesurveiilance
of a committee of moderate and enligh
tened men, who in receiving their nom
ination from your majesty, shall acquire
independence and consideration.

;1 havO been duly favored with the re

of Georgia, to Col. Caiifer, Corurastr.i

Stated, fannot at this time be reimbuis
ed ; on this subject, I have now to pro*
pose a course, which l presume, will be
convenient to the General Government
and if adopted, suit i*<s State as well
as the immediate payment of the mo
ney.
It *s, that w% may receive credit for
that sum in th€ settlement of the direct,
tax due from this -State to the Uriiird
States, and assumed to be paid by tj&
first day of Octobe** next.
On the 21st of March fast, I address-,
‘ed a letter to the actipg Secretary of
War, stating that I. had obtained by
loan from the Bank of ;had
advanced the sum df twenty thousand
dollars to Capt. Peter Lequeux, United
States Assistant Deputy ■Quartermaster
General, who had been ordered by Ma
jor General Pinckney, in of
instructions from the War Department,
to attend the Militia sent from this State
to reinforce Major General Jackson .?
at the same time enclosing Captain Le
queux’s duplicate receipt for the am
ount, and pressing tliat the means ol Re
imbursing the loan to the Bank <
be furnished us#* 5 But to stop the
ning of interest ati arrangement has*
been made with the Bank lor payment#
That amount also, is now due t© jtbU
State, and if we can no tain a credit for
it, m the of the Direct Tax,
we be as much accomodated jp wt;
shquid be, by U*e payment of tblFWw
ney. . W
Early in the last fall, when it was an
ticipated shat the enemy with whoi/i
we were then at war* would on the ap
proach of winter, direct his efforts a
gainst the seaport towns and coasts of
t the southern States, 1 received frofßt
Major General Pinckney, a letter on
the subject of fortifying the City of ;
Savannah, of which letter, I herewith
inclose you a copy.
The recommendation therein coni
tained for fortifying that city, was adop*
ted under the superintendance and di
rectipn of an Enginer, Ordered on that?
scrMfce by General Pinckney. j
But the funds expended were furnish
ed from the State Treasury, and am
ount to the sum of forty five thousand
shall be prepared to < sheur
the vouchers for the advance of the mo
ney, with every item of expenditure*,
and request to know, whether this also
can be allowed us in the settledrclty of
the direct Tax ?
In the act of authorising
*an adjustment of the Yazoo claims, E
observe it is provided, Jfeat on the r«?k
lease of a giv%n’ prtaHßion of those*
claims, the United States are to turn
over toiSie Staleof Georgia, the YMot>
deposit remaining in of
that state.
r ? The money part of the deposit was,
at the passage of the act of Congress*,
somewhat upwards of one hundred ]
thousand dollars, but it lias since been
exchanged for a Bill of exchange, drawn
by Major Abraham B Fannin, Deputy
Quarter-piaster General, iu the 6th Mil*
itary District, on the Secretary of War*
and accepted by him. for fifty thousand
dollars, and for Treasury notes furpsh- <
ed* to the Contractor to the amount of f
the balance* *

As to the Treasury notes, I prest itne
there can be no difficulty, notkh* | tiui

Tfie only point on which 1 suppose dif
