. THE LVDIANS.
The last Montgomery Journal con
tains the following interesting article
respecting the coarse pursued towards
the Creek Indians in Alabama, by the
.present Executive of the United States.
Its effect will undoubtedly be decisive,
and Georgia soon be rid of these troub*
Vesowe neighbours. Although this state
‘will derive no immediate benefit from
the removal of the Creeks, yet this explicit
■recognition of the right of a state, to ex
-tend its jurisdiction over the Indian Ter
ritory within its limits, may operate to
our advantage in another quarter. In
Accordance with this, Georgia having ex
tended her government over the Cherokee
lands, they must be nnder the necessity
of submitting to her government, or of re
. moving.
I The. Creek JSation. —Colonel John
Crowell, the Iftte Agent in the Creek
‘.Nation, we are authorised lo say, has
’ been directed to remove his Agency
we9t of the Mississippi, to the country
allotted to the emigrating Indians. He
lias very lately returned from Washington
Cityi and has we understand, a talk from
the Executive to the Creeks. The Presi
dent tells them that an Agency will no
longer be retained in their present na
tion; that it is his wish they should re
move, and his determination to have thfir
‘ lands surveyed; that inasmuch as the
State of Alabama has extended her juris
diction over them, they will be thrown
without the protection of the General
Government, and that the only course
•est to be. pursued is for them to remove.
,'tfeodso informs them# that such as are
disponed to remain, shall have a strip of
. land set apart for them, but that they, will
te subject to the jurisdiction of that State
in which the land may lie; but that such
gs remove will have continued to them
the protection of the Government.—Capt.
• V*’aiker, from whom we derive this in
formation, further informs ns, that a
• meeting of the Indians is to beheld on
• the *Btn inst. for the purpose of deciding
On the president’s instructions. Capt
W. thinks thtjy wiU emigrate en owrsfle,

andthtt they will never plant another
crop in their present country. He fur
ther states, that the extension of jurisdic
tion over them has had a most sdutary
effect, and that previous to the arrival of
Col. Crowell 1000 had enlisted. Thus
we are in a fair way of speedily acquiring
the Indian country, the acquisition of
which premises the greatest advantages
to Montgomery; ,
The United States Tclegrap'i says
—A fact which we have learned , cas
ually, at the Departmept of states,
is worthy of attention# viz: that
among the nnmerous applications,
made to that Department for impor
tant diplomatic pr other appointments,
with the exception of one or two of
minor note, has been present
ed from the States south of the Poto
mac and east of the Alleghany ridge.
This fact speaks volumes for the dis.
interestedness of the original patriot
States; it shows conclusively, that
these States supported the late change
of administration on principle, and
only on principle,— Sav. Republican.

A late letter from Washirigtop
states that—lt is generally understood
that tho present Administration in
tend to take ground against the exist
ing Tariff*. Whether they areabout
to make an effort to repeal nil duties
imposed for protection, and to coniine
the system to a revenue measuse, 1
know not—but the probability is, that
the protective system is to be abandon
ed, as far as tjie Administration can
influence the result.—/?/.

SPLENDID DUEL.
Tho conqueror of. Napoleon, the
Great has again taken the field. A
‘affair of honor* took place on the 2lst;
March# at Battersea fields, io the vi
cinity ofGlapham Common, between
bis Grace, the Duke of ty itxiiNOTo.v, ;
and tho Earl i\)ATNtftuL9EA umi;
The forties met at 8j
o'clock, A. M. attended; by SirlißN-j
Rir Hardinob, thG Duke's friend,
and Lord Falmouth who acted as;
tho Earl's second. At the word ‘fire,*!
tha Prime Minister of'England shot
the lappel of fiis antagonist's coat,,
whereupon the Earl of Winchelsea
discharged his pistol in the air, and
Lord Falmouth presented to the oppo
site party such a ‘memorandum* as
was deemed satisfactory.
What will the American Anti-Du
elling Society say to this? The cause
of dispute between the tw o noblemen
is said to have originated ift the fol
lowing note written by the Ear! of
Winchelsea to Mr. Coleridge Secret
tary to the Committee for establish
ing tho king's College. London.
March 14th, 1829.
I was one of those who, at first
thought the proposed plan might be
practicable, and prove an antidote to
the principles of the London Univer
sity; I was not, however very san
guine in my expectations, seeing
many difficulties likely to arise in the
execution of the suggested arrange
ment; and I confess that I felt rather
doubtful as to the sincerity of the mo
tives which had actuated some of the
prime movers in this undertaking,
when I considered that tho Noble
Duke at the head of his Majesty's
Government, had been induced on this
occasion* to assume anew character,
and to step forward himself as the
public advocate of religion and moral-,
ity.
‘Late political*events have convin
ced me that the whole transaction
was intended as a blind to.tbe Protes
tant and High Church party, that the
Noble Duke who had for some time
previous to that period determined
upon ‘breaking in upon the Constitu
tion of 1688,’ might the more effectu
ally# under the cloak of someoutward
show of zeal for the Protestant reli
gion, carry on bis insidious designs
for the infringement of pur liberties,
and tho introduction of Popery into
every department of the State.*
Upon the subject of this publication#
a long correspondence, in she form of
‘memoranda* handed from one party
to the other, took place, and finally
ended in the event we have just re,
counted.
