Lntier consideration. Are lucre any circum stances so imperative in their chara; ter as to justify the neglect of t!ie obligations assumed t v the government in the Creek treaty ■■ In order, sir, that you may have a full view of this matter, i have enclosed’ copies of various instructions and other papers hating relation tc it. These will place you in possession of the principal facts 1 Since the ratification cf this treaty, repeated representations have been made to this De partment, by th * public Agents, by respectable individuals, and by the Indians, that greet: an ! wanton outrages have been committed upon the latter, by person-', who have intruded upon the ceded lands. It has been stated that the hotts - of the Indians have been forcibly taken poss sion of, and sometimes burnt, and the own.; driven into the woods; that their fields and im provements have been wrested from them, am: occupied bv white persons; that aggravated in juries have been committed upon the persons of the Indians ; and that their horses, cattie, hogs, end other property have been forcibly taken from them. The appeals of the Chiefs to the gov ernment to carry the treaty into effect, and to afford their people protection have been repented snd forcible. They represent that their crops have beer, taken from them, and they look for ward to a state of starvation, unless some de cisive step is adopted in their favor. And in addition to all this,the Deputy Marsha! reports, that there are four hundred persons selling whiskey to the Indians upengthc ceded lands. That this state of things requires a change cannot be doubted Surely no one would ex pect the government to sit stiil and witness such aggressions w ithout any effort to prevent them. You suggest, that the law of Alabama, ptoviding for the removal of intruders by actions of forcible entry and detainer, would be found sufficent for the protection of the Indians, and propose, proceedings under it should be adopt ed with that view.—To this suggestion the President sees two objections: Ist. The treaty expressly provides a differ ent mode, and therefore leaves no discretion with the Executive: and, 2d. There is every teasonto fear, that the remedy pointed out, would, if adopted, bo found wholly insufficient. Looking at the condition of the Indians; the intrusions among them; the injuries they have suffered and are exposed to; the difficulty of proof, and the great delay which would attend the prosecution of such a number of lav.- suits, on d in a community which could not but be excited upon the subject, it woud be vain to expect that the protection premised could in tijis way be insured. You do justice to the feelings of the President, ia statin,’ it as your belief, “that he is disposed •‘to cause the treaty to be carried into effect by | such means only as are clearly authorized by i the Constitution and laws.”—There is not the j slightest wish, unnecessarily to injure or op-1 press the settlers upon these lands. lam well n-vare of the hardships and inconveniences to which frontier settlers arc exposed, and every i reasonable allowance should be made for their I position. When their are no other obligations ! intervening, settlements have extended over the i public lands without inconvenience to the coun try, and without the interteience of the Gov ernment. B.ut in this case the rights of others ore concerned, and the executive is called upon to fulfil the obligations of a solemn treaty. I do not however see that the treaty, by obvious, construction, permits settlements upon any of the lands ceded, except reservations, &c. The stipulation is, that intruders shall be re moved from the ceded lands, before the country [3 survsved and the locations made; but that after these avis are done, this provision shah not operate upon that pait cf the country not included in the selections. No permission to settle is here granted. The Government did not indeed stipulate with the Indians that intruders on IjVs unlocated should be re moved, but the ordinary provisions ot the lau still apply to nil persons living upon such land, and the prescribed penalty attaches to them. Ycur excellency suggests that “encouraged fcy the treaty, by the laws of the State, and the express permission t the Government to set tle upon and o • u>v them, population has moved upon them,” &c. There is a misap prehension on this subject, which 1 trust the enclosed do ment will remove. No person has moved upon this land by the permission of the Government. Settlers without that permission have taken possession of the countrv, :nd the Government in this as in all other cases, bejng desirous of fulfilling the obligations with as little inconvenience to the citizens as possible, on the application of the members ofC ongress from Alabama and others, consented in December last, that the settlers upon the land might remain till the locations were made. This was done,as the instructions will show, upon the presumption that the coun try Would he surveyed and the locations made before it would bo time to put in another crop, und also in the belief that no inconvenience or injury would result to the Indians. In both these expectations, there has been a disap pointment. The country has indeed been surveyed, but the locations have not been, and cannot for some time be made, and the com • plaints of the Indians are assuming such a shape 03 imperatively t” call upon the Government for its interference. It becomes therefore necessary to terminate the qualified permission which has been granted to residents. Your Excellency supposes that the Marsha! with an armed force, is marking incursions amor.” the inhabitants with a view of settling disputes between them and the Indians, If the Marshal, or fte military detachment under bis orders, have assumed such an au thority, they are acting without ti.e JUStructioas of the Government, and contrary to its views. They ure stationed upon the public lands for the purpose of removing intruders. There is not an individual settled upon the ceded lands, who has the slightest legal claim to remain thoie. There is not cue who has not by the oct of settlement exposed himself not only to t forcible eviction, but to a specific penalty. There are no disputes which the Marshal is authorized to adjust. Asa matter of favor, and to prevent injury as far as possible, that officer was authorized to peimit such persons tem porarily to remain as had not injured the Indians. I'hc investigation of this fact may be necessary to the action or the Marshal, but it is an inves tigation, not to give the right of interference, but to stay proceedings which otherwise under the law and his instrur tions, mist lo had. 1 connot therefore conceive, what questions,“in their ch ‘racier stiietlv anu properly legal,” can come before the Marshal. Allow n;c to repeat, that the President is sincerely desirous of carrying the Creek treaty !o effect, with every proper attention to the i lies and feelings oi'thc Citizens of Alabama. 1 ut this disposition has been inlly manifested tn all the instructions that have Ticcn issued, and 1 cannot but hope that the piopricty of removing them from the ceded land, will be generally felt and acknowledged. Very respectfully, I am, sir votir obedient servant, ‘ LEWIS CASS. 1 lis Excellency JOHN GAYLE, Gov. of Ala. A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR. To the citizens cf the counties the Creek Nation. The Secretary of Mar. by direction of the President fth United States, has instructed the Marshal of the Southern District of Alaba ma, to remove all white people from the ter ritory ceded by the Creek Indians, ky tho treaty of March 1532, which territory is com posed of the counties of Benton, Taladcga, Randolph. Coosa, Talapoosa, Chambers, Rus sell- M nand’’arbour. . hese counties have boon established and organized by the General Assembly, in Confor mity with the views and policy of the Federal Government, and in pursuance of the Constitu tion of this State. The Order, if executed, will result in a de struction of properly belonging to the inhab itants of these counties, to an almost incalcula ble amount, and inflict upon them other great and irreparable injuries, not less calamitous than those which would mark the invasion ofa public enemy. By virtue of this treaty, the government of the United States have assumed the right of remov ing by an armed force, not only all persons who have settled upon the public lands, but those also, who in the opinion of its agents, have com mitted trespasses upon the improvements ol the Indians, which are their private property; there by undeitakrg, without any lawful authority, an<i id violation of our common constitution, to regulate matters which belong exclusively *9 the laws and tribunals of this State. The order for the removal of the settlers, must necessarily be attended with the expul sion of our civil officers, the suppression of cur courts, and, in fact, the destruction of the State Government throughout th :se coun ties. The right of jurisdiction being admitted, the ri"ht to use the means that ire indispensable to its exercise, attaches as a necessary conse quence; and yet a military force is displayed upon our borders, to render inoperative ail the measures- which have been adopted by the state government for the extension and enfoice ment of its laws. The course which the General Government has adopted) and is now pursuing, is a pal pable and indefensible invasion of the rights of this Stale, and its tendency, utterly subversive of our free and happy form of government. There are now thirty thousand of our peo ple, alarmed at the horrors of starvation on one side, and of military execution on the other. In this hour of their afflictions, I recommend and exhort them to look with abiding and un doubting confidence to the majesty of the law. It will cover them with a shield impenetrable to the sword and bayonet. In order therefore, that “the laws may be faithfully executed,” and by virtue of the power and authority in me vested, I hereby require all civil officers in the counties aforesai ,to be attentive to the com pacts of the people, upon whom any crime or crimes may ! ie committed, or upon whom 01 whose property there may exist well founded apprehensions, that dime-, ate intended to be committed, by issuing all such warrants ami other process as may be nccecssary to bring offenders to justice, particularly such as are guilty cf murder, false imprisonment, house burning, robbery, forcible entries, and all such like heinous offences. And all good citizens are required, when duly and legally called upon, to aid and assist in the execution of all such process as may be issued by the competent authorities, and according to the laws of the land. And fur thermore, it is enjoined upon the citizens in the counties aloresaid, to yield a ready obe dience to any precept or process that may issue from the courts of the United States, or of this State; and especially to abstain from all acts of Unlawful violence towards the In dians. who being ignorant of our laws, ‘and of their should be taught to look up to tlu ir more intelligent neighbors for information and protection.

Thorntoh, Sec. of Slate. Old American Manufacturer 9 may rrot be generally known how long the cultivation of the mulberry tree, and the domestic manufac ture of silk to some extent, has been carried on in Massachusetts: —We find the following in the Boston Gazette for Feb. C, 17G9: “Last week a man from Waston brought to own and sold 5,140 cocaoos. cr silk balls,which the fed from only 3 mulberry trees.” At and about the period When this was writ ten, it will be recolleclad, there was a genera! disposition among the “Sons of Liberty” to cn coutage American manufactures of all sorts, to the absolute exclusion of English especially. Hence the following curiouailetn in the Gazette of October 1,1794 : “It is certain that l Yemen's shoes made of lynn do not exceed those usually imported of the make of 1. Dose of London, in strength and beauty, but not in price.-—Surely then it is ex pected the public spirited ladies of the town and province will turn their immediate attention to this branch of manufacture.” From the Yew- York Evening Star. 1 , 2 Peep in Bridewell. —The l<>ud chirping of a bcauti.h'! Gatiary Bird, so shrill as to be pain fully piercing to :l v ear, compelled me to throw down my pcn.and turn ,7?v eye to the golden wires of the cage on the piet fable, and I in stantly discovered in the sweet waiter tile bril liant twinklers of my fairy Ariel “Thou little elf—thou foolish fluttering thing,” sa id I. “thou comest in such a questionable shape—so en gaging and attractive, that I cannot write a j word while thou a r t near me—where hast thou i been—what hast thou to sav?” I opened the door of the cage, and the bird hopped out on the table, and shaking his plumage, stood bolbr< me in the shape of a cherub w ith golden hair, and eyes of azure blue.—“l’ve been to Bride well,” said he, “do give oe a mouthful of fresh air; such a place—so foul—so dungeon like U tile heart of a fashionable and busy throng—by the living Jingo (he will now and then throw out a vulgar oath,; I wish 1 had some of the fa thers of the city, or rather the step-fathers, as they should bo called, cooped for a few hours in the vaults and dungeons of that old prison, and by my wings they would soon vote for transforming that building into something which will correspond w ith the beautiful Record Office an the east wins; of the Park.” “But what in duced you t<> vU it such a place .” “You shall heai; —ln the shape of a humming bird, I was fluttering through the foliage of the tall trees in the. Park, and in winging my way near the bars of the double casements of Grid well, I heard a full toned and clear voice singing an Italian air beginning thus, “Claudio — Claudio— Jlelorno ,” <yc. The sounds’ were familiar to my car, and I entered into a small square room, where set a iood looking man, with great composure, sing ing with much taste a varity of airs. The mystery was explained. It was one of the old Italian Troupe , who intending to break his en gagement, was thrown into prison by the man ager to keep him safe until the new opera house was finished. An excellent device, thought I; but he should have sung avers of the English song beginning thus, “The bird in yonder cage confined. To arc sings notes of sorrow;” “While I was in the dismal place, I thought a little more curiosity might bo gratified, so I remained until the keeper turned the keys of several h’-avy portals, and opened them on n corridor. A good looking man with mustachoes, and on Italian face, die :sed in a white night cap and apron, passed me with a waiter, con taiuing JVfncaroni Perdrcaux ala Choux.—Gal lelte dMoulon and Pom de le ire frit I knew him at a glance; he was a professor of hmgages, who having incurred a debt of $10;000 for mak ing love to a confectioner’s wife, had while in prison,boen promoted to the offic e of Artise de Cosine, vulgarly called a cook. So, that in stead ol living on kisses, comfilurcs, and bonbons, at an honest man’s expense, he was manufac turing those very articles aux desert for those who in prison could afford to pay for such luxur ies. In another room, a stout, good looking man,with he avy red whiskers, lay on a cot, dic tating sundry letters and documents to two clerks, who were busily engaged in writing and copying. He was rough and uttcortcous, • rude in his manners, and abusive in his language, yet he once held a high office in a foreign land; •ingled with princes and nobility; had honestly earned a iargi fortune; was hmnane and be nevolent; but his nature had been soured by repeated acts of treachery, by which he had lost large sums of m<>ney; he was fleeced by friends and boon companions—driven to madness by treachery—mulcted in heavy damages for libels, and ultimately confined as a lunatic, while perfectly ‘line —a stranger in a lane Which he •nee honored, but which from repeated sufler .■•urc he now abhors. O 7 In an adjoining room sat a countryman of his,and a very different personage. He had been banker, had his town houses and country villas —his horses and hounds—his equipages and footmen —his mistress, his box at the opera— his seat at Crock ford’s—his stall at Tattersalhs his beaf-steak club—his rubber of whist, batch of Burgundy, and pipes of Madeira. His eareer had terminated in bankruptcy, ruin and elopement; and he was now in,prison, far from his home and family, for a debt due to the very man who was it fellow prisoner of his in an ad joining apartment,” “This is the world, my faithful Ariel,” said I. Vanitc.s vanilalum. Keep out of debt—keep out of law- and keep out of prison. Every comfort and happi ness are sacrificed to make appearences; and as Cosey says, “scarce has the upholsterer done knocking up, wherr in comes the auctioneer and knocks down.” The little cherub, shaking the dew from his pinions, mounted in air, and with a bewitching ; smile, wafted an adieu and winged his way to wards the west.

At this critical moment, his brother Judge arrived, and op ening his dressing room door with n view to see ifhe was ready, discovered his learned brother with the fainting maid in his arms.
