t PROTEST OF THE MINORITY. .
We the undersigned members of the House of
Representative; of the State of Georgia, having
among others, given our votes in the negative up
on certain resolutions introduced before the house
and going to approve of the act of drawing from
the Treasury of this State the sum of 15,000 dol
larrby the Executive of the State ; as also to
eulogize interns of high approbation the conduct
of persons attending by the appointment of the
Governour of the Stale at the Indian Springs at
the time of the formation of a treaty between the
United States and the Creek Nation of Indians in
the months of December and January last; as
well as the conduct of the persons acting as com
missioners on the part of the United States, at the
same time and place, and on the same subject;
feel ourselves bound by a sense of duty which
we owe to ourselves, and to the community, to as
sigd the grounds and reasons upon which we gave
our votes, and to enter our most solemn protest
and dissent against the propriety and legality of
the course pursued therein by the Executive and
State Commissioners acting und*ir his directions;
which course we can but believe to hate been a
departure from the essential limits of the constitu
tion ; and to have involved a compromise be
tween the unalterable principles, ir.teuded for all
tiroes, and the seducing advantages of the mo
ment : We therefore protest and disseut—
-Ist. Because the resolutions improperly, as we
conceive, join and connect together, under terms
of approbation and applause, persons and subjects
that iu themselves ought not to be connected,
when brought before the Legislature of the State
of Georgia ; the commissioners on the part of the
U. States having no connection with the treasury
of the State of Georgia, or any concern either di
rect or indirect with tha propriety or impropriety
of a draft by the Executive of the State from the
treasury ; the constitutionality of which draft,
and tjje sanction of the application of the monies
which issued thereon, should be, and is, a sub
stantive consideration, never to be embarrassed
with foreign matters, or coloured by associating
therewith distinct incidents.
2d, Because by the articles of cession entered
into on the 24th day of April 1802, between the
U. States and the State of Georgia, the first sol
emnly pledged themselves at their own expense, ‘
to extinguish for the use of the latter, as early as
the same could be peaceably obtained on reason- j
able terms, the Indian title to all the lands within
the state of Georgia, which pledge was given in :
consideration of the immense and valuable terri-’
tory now constituting the two states of Alabama
and Mississippi; having been ceded by Georgia
to the United States ; and which pledge the Uni
ted States were bound to fulfil by all the ties of
good faith, withuot the appropriation of one cent
from the treasury of the state of Georgia.
3d. Because the undersigned conceive that the
draft from the treasury of the state of the sum of
15,000 dollars, or of any other sum of money by
the Executive of the State, and appiopriated to
the extinguishment of Indian title to lauds within
the State of Georgia, or with an intention to pur !
chase from the Indians a recognition of the claims
of the citizens of G eorgia upon them for depreda
tions, or with an intention, (as has been stated by
some persons in support of the resolutions) of
purchasing the friendship of the chiefs, head men
and warriours,to render the accomplishment of the j
treaty more easy, was in every point of view a i
most illsgal and unjustifiable course of policy,!
which cannot be supported either by the laws of
the land, or the sound rules of morality ever to
be observed and maintained in the intercourse
between individuals or nations—manifestly in
volving the fact of the appropriation of money
from the treasury of the State of Georgia to the
purchase of a tract of country for which the faith
of the United States was pledged to pay, thereby ]
taxing the citizens of the State to pay again for
what they had already paid : or the absurdity of |
buying from the Indians the acknowledgement of j
claims which, if they be just and legal, the State |
was bound to insist hpon as a matter of absolute
right ; and olearly to the apprehension of the un
dersigned, sanctioning the alarming and dreadful
policy in a republick of corrupting the agents and
neg< . lators of an ignorant, unlettered and degra
ded people.and this too at the moment when talks
were professedly holding under the guise of
friendship ; when the most blandishing language
was addressed to their ears ; when they were
called by the fond and endearing terms of friends
and brothers. In such or any circumstances,
with the gold of the treasury, and the bard earn- -
ings of the people, to sap the integrity of agents,
and tempt them to betray the rights of their peo
ple by nddres c ing-their cupidity as individuals, is
a policy, if practised, that we cannot sanction.
4th. Because by a concurred resolution of both
branches of the legislature, the Executive was
authorized and empowered to draw warrants on
the contingent fund for such sum or sums of mon
ey as might be necessary to defray any state ex
pense, required to carry into effect the “ contem
plated treaty” with the Creek Indians ; but pro
viding that no expenditure was thereby contem
plated which of right ought to be defrayed by the
government of (he United States—By which reso
lution it evidently and most conclusively appears,
that the Legislature did not intend that, any mon
ey should be drawn from the treasury by the ex
ecutive to be used towards or in aid of the forma
tion of the “ contemplated treaty,” but only for
the purpose, of carrying into effect such treaty as
might be formed by the United States commission
ers with the Indians. Whatever sum or sums of
money, therefore, that may have been drawn from
the treasury and appropriated in any other way
than to carry into effect the treaty after the same
was formed, has been as the undersigned believe,
, drawn and appropriated in direct violation of the
terms and spirit- of the said resolution, and the
will of the Legislature as expressed therein.
sth. Because the whole transaction as present
ed to the House by his Excellency the Govern
our, and the ai*ompanying documents, is involv
ed in dark and gloomy mystery ; unattended by
any explanation as to the cause why so large a
sum of money was necessary to be drawn from
the State of Georgia to bring about a treaty, the
whole expense of which the United States was
bound to pay. What has become of the money !
To whom paid ? On what particular account the
same was paid ? Whether in terms of the resolu
tion of 12th December, 1820, it was appropriated
to any “ State Expense,” or whether to expense
which the United States were bound to pay, the
Executive has not informed the Legislature” or
the people !
6th. Because we have rpason to believe from
information that cannot be doubted,that the trea
ty was in reality brought about by the great ex
ertions of other persons, and the employment of
other means than those of the Executive of this
State or the persons acting under him ; and that
the said treaty could, and most probably would
have been as easily and readily effected without
the fifteen thousand dollars from the state treasu
ry, hs with it ; and in fact, that the course pur
sued by some of the State Commissioners, instead
of aiding, actually embarrassed the speedy ter
mination of the treaty. We therefore conceive
the appropriation of the said sum of money, or
any part thereof, (if it ever had been legal) to
have been an useless and unjustifiable waste of
the publick treasure.

IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.
Arrivals at N. York have furnished London pa
pers to the 4th April, and Liverpool dates to the ]
6th. The Cotton Markets in England were j
very brisk at the close of March ; but on the j
first days of April a considerable depression;
was experienced, though lippes were entertained i
that tlse prices would not sfck so low as they had j
been during the winter.
The political intelligeneefurnished by these ar-!
rivals, has blasted the exptctalion so confidently j
cherished iu this country) that the rnoqpng of a
better day had at length jawned upe(j degraded
Italy. On the 20th of a Military Conven
tion was concluded, whidl has made the empe
rour of Austria the virtual sovereign of Naples. 1
Our limits will not admit tie detailed accounts of
the operations of the two trmies during the short
period of hostilities—there was, however, little
or nothing like spirited resistance on the part of
the Neapolitans. The last Austrian bulletin de- j
clares, that “ the Neapolitan army no longer ex- j
ists 1”
From the N. Y. Com. Adv. May 11.
Tbe news from Italy goes at oi\ce to extinguish
the hopes we had entertained of the triumph of
liberal principles, and the establishment of a good
government in The Austrian ar
mies are in full possession of the kingdom of Na
pies ; and what is worse, they have scarcely met
with any resistance ; and on arriving within the
Neapolitan towns, have been received with open
arms. The Peidmoritese revolution, contrary to
all precedent, has extinguished itself without a
struggle. “ Where now is the noble ardor of the
brave Neapolitans—the paliiotick zeal which
converted every citizen into a soldier, and every
soldier into a hero—the terrible defeat of the Au
strians —the flame that raged from one end of It
aly to the other—the total subversion of the Aus
trian authority in Italy”—and the patriotick pre
dictions that not an invading soldier would ever
be permitted to return ! All has evaporated in
smoke.
We must confess onr surprise and disappoint
ment at thi result. We have been for months
taught by the foreign papers of all parties, both 1
English and continental, that nothing could equal
the enthusiasm of all classes of Neapolitans in the
cause of liberty ; that every man, soldier and cit
izen. would fight till driven to (he last fortress,and
then thfow a firebrand into the magazine, rather
than to be mhde a slave ; that the war would be
the destruction of Austrian power; that the whole j
nation were united in constructing fortresses, and
were impatient to display their prowess in the
field-'-until we had been made to believe, that
however unequal, the conflict would have been
desperate on the part of the Neapolitans. Per-,
haps we have been too sanguine, from our wishes j
on the subject, and an abhorrence of the doctrine j
attempted to be thrust upon mankind by the Hil
ly Alliance, at the point of the sword.
This catastrophe, so fatal to Italian liberty
which began to germinate, and which we flattered
ourselves had taken a deeper root, proves one of
two things : Either that the revolution was not
the work of the people, and that the soldiery car- j
ed lißt little about it,; or, that the people, soldiers j
and all, have behaved with a cowardice without
a parallel. In either case, it proves the melan
choly efficacy of a long course of tyrantfy in cor
rupting and debasing the mass of the people which j
has rendered all reasoning on the propable r<sis- j
tance which might have been opposed to the Au-:
strians, utterly vain.
.The success of the Austrians against Naples had ‘
reacted upon the North of Italy, where we had |
supposed a force would have taken the field to \
attack the invaders in the rear. The revolution j
of Piedmont has proved but a brief turmoil, and
the king who has just abdicated, to use a homely
phrase, has been “ more scared than hurt.” The
provisional junta in Piedmont are said to feel that
they cannot maintain themselves in the present
unsettled state or the country against foreign at
tack, and the Prince of Carignan has abdicated
the regency, and joined the Royal troops in a
subordinate situation. Thus has ended, for the
present at least, the great ’’alian. war ; the Au
strians being every where receiv'ed by the Nea
politans, not upon the points of their bayonets,
but with shouts of Five el Ray.
Bonaparte. —ln the House of Commons on the
29th of March, a motion was made for an account
oT (he whole expenses of the detention of Bona
parte at St. Helena. For the single year of 1819,
the expeses of the Staff amounted to £24,000; the
expenses of the military establishment £193.674 ;
the incidental expenses for the maintenance, it c.
of Napoleon, £57,000; the expense of provision
vessels about £5,000 ; the expense of the navy
£160,000 : the total expenses £439,674. In the
course of the debate, it was urged that the other
powers of Europe ought in fairness to hear a part
of the expenses of detaining Napoleon : seven
years had expired since the war; it was too se
vere to see England, immersed in financial difficul
ties, obliged single handed to pay the entire ex
penses attending the confinement of the late em
perour.
The honourable C. H. Hutchinson said he
could not but express his disapprobation of the
cruel and mean policy which was pursued towards
the emperour Napoleon ; he would be ashamed
of himself if he did not bestow upon it his hearty
and unqualified reprobation ; it was equally op
posed to every principle of justice, humanity and
honour. Was it befitting the British nation that
she should be gaoler to the Holy Alliance, that
she should act not on principle or policy of safe
ty, hut in base subserviency to the despots of the
world ? The motion was agreed to.
Foreign Items.-*- The “ Witchcraft repeal bill”
was read a third time in the British parliament
on the 26tb of March, and passed. On the ques
tion being put, Lord Oastlereagh observed, that
as it was now the “ Pitching time of night,” it
was not an improper hour for passing the bill.
The editor of the Western Luminary, printed

At the Kent assizes 41 persons were condemn

house breaking.
At the Devonshire assizes eleven |uen and one
woman were sentenced to death. The latter for
entering a dairy and stealing bread and butter.
The government of England are giving way to
their feelings and openly rejoicing at the victories
of the holy alliance. ‘Hie Lond on Courier says,
the news from Italy “must be gratifying to every
friend to social order, and its basis,legitimate gov
ernment.” The rebel faction in Naples is anni
hilated.” The Austrian army tells a tale which
will not bt lost upon Meddling Fools in other coun-
Ories.” “ The news from Piedmont is still more
satisfactory.” Such is the language in which the
ministers of England now indulge !!!

Important to Land Debtors.— The act of Con
gress of the last session, holding forth to the pur
chasers of publick lands the opportunity of re

the benefit of its provisions, their partial or total
relinquishment shall be filed in the office of the
commissioner of the General Land Office bfore
the 30 th day of Sept. next. Those concerned,
therefore, have no time to lose, but must immedi

the Medical Repository, transmuted through our

of the Constitution of the U 9. forbids the accep
