Ifrogative of puffing authors into notice, or of , B wiling them into oontempt. It ii true that this B u:r class of writers are not always able to give B< ‘heir opinions the stamp of fate; yet ithas be- Bone necessary to propitiate their favour and B precute their wrath, if an author wishes to pick H, a few crumbs of popular approbation. Blt has long been a matter of deep regret with Bic more Judicious and sober, that the time de- Boted to reading should not he better directed, ■hat the world might reap a harvest of honour or Brofit from every solitary hour consecrated to in- Kellectual amusement or labour. Bui as there Bnust ever exist in relation to this subject a diver sity of taste and feeling we deem it compatible Bvith the grand objects proposed by the publica tion of our paper/to admit into our columns a va ■iety of matter which may contribute to the ih l&ocent entertainment as well as the religious in ■tructiqp of our readers. Onr paper will proba ■]y, in a few minor articles, undergo changes 4,r the better. We shall give a little more dis tinctness of character to the different depart ments; —the Editorial articles will not be neglect 12,];—and in order to render religious intelligence atiore interesting to our readers, especially when mom abroad, we intend to furnish a summary in ftlace of those detailed accounts which sometimes pipeary from their prolixity. We dare not take Upon ourselves any positive obligations to increase Mur original matter, but from certain arrangements (JiicVl are in .contemplation, we cherish the hope, lat we shall more frequently than heretofore, resent out patrons and the publick with articles f this character. To contribute to the virtuous nd rational gratification of the community, and specially to render ourselves their .benefactors n the kingdom of Christ, is the highest honour to rhicb we aspire. TO THE PUBLICK. * We, are authorized and requested by the Messrs. lekdals, to state, that the reports'which Lave een lately circulated abroad, of their having re ised, from inability, or some other cause, to re eein their notes, are totally without foundation— iat they have uniformly redeemed their paper zreeably to the promise made on the face of it, i current bank bills, and are both able and wil ng so to do—that these reports are either the of malice alone, or have been propagat- Jjm for the purpose of enabling speculators to buy ■peir.paper at a discount, and thus enrich them- Helves at the expense of the publick—and that ■e reported failure of their credit at the banks in ■ugusta and Milledgeville is equally groundless. b Observations of the Rev.

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.

Clayton, it appears that on the 30th of April that there was a balance re maining in the Treasury of $163,015 89.

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 Exeter, has been tried for a libel on the Queeu, and found guilty, but strongly recommended to the clemency of the King.

Hannah Barber recently died in Fleet prison where she had been confined 32 years for oon tempt of court. Mr. Monroe’s inaugural speech is published in most of the English papers. The Nottingham Cailendar contains the number of 32 men and boys who had been sentenced to death at a late assizes. At the Staffordshire assizes, 28 persons received sentence 0 f death ; one aged 16 ; two 17 and two 18 years of age. At the Kent assizes 41 persons were condemn ed to death, tbe greater part of whom were for 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 linquishing to the United States the. whole or a portion of such land as may remain unpaid for, requires that, in order to entitle individuals to 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.
