cat duties, to an extent to meet any demand
which, under a fair competition, may be made on
it.
A considerable increase of domestick manufac
tures, by diminishing the importation of foreign,
will probably tend to lessen the amount of the
publick revenue. As, however, a large propor
tion of the revenue, which is derived from duties,
is raised from other articles than manufactures,!
the demand for which will increase withour pop- i
illation, it is believed, thaVafund will still be!
raised from that source, adequate to the greater J
part of the national expenditures, especially as
those expenditures, should we continue to be j
blessed with peace, will be diminished by the
completion of the fortifications, dock yards and
other (niblick works j by the augmentation of the i
navy to the point to which it is proposed to carry
it, and by the payment of the publick debt, in
cluding pensions for military services.
It cannot be doubted, that the more com
plete our iuternal resources, and the less depen
dant we are on foreign powers, for every national
as well as domestick purpose, the greater and
more stable will be the publick felicity. By the
increase of domestick manufactures, will the de
mand for the rude materials at home be increas
ed, and thus will the dependence of the several
parts of our Union on each other, and the strength
of the Union itself, be proportiouably augmented.
In this process, which is very desirable, and inev
itable under the existing duties, the resources
which obviously present themselves to supply a
deficiency in the revenue, should it occur, are
the interests which may derive the principal bene
fit from the change. If domestick manufactures
are raised by duties on foreign, the deficiency in
the fund necessary for publick purposes should
be supplied by duties on the former. At the last
session it seemed doubtful whether the revenue
derived from the present sources would be ade
quate to all the great purposes of our union, in
cluding the construction of our fortifications, the
augmentation of our navy, and the protection of
our commerce against the dangers to which it is
exposed. Had the deficiency been such as to
subject us to the necessity either to abandon
those measures of defence, or to resort to other
means for adequate funds, the course presented
to the adoption of a virtuous and enlightened
people appeared to be a plain one. It must be
gratifying to all to know, that this necessity does
not exist. Nothing, however, in contemplation
of such important objects, which can be easily
provided for, should be left to hazard. It is
thought that the revenue may receive an augmen
tation from the existing sources, and in a manner
to aid our manufactures without hastening pre
maturely the result which has been suggested.
It is believed that a moderate additional duty on
certain articles would have that effect, without
being liable to any serious objection.
The examination of the whole coast, for the
construction of permanent fortifications, from St.
Croix to the Sabine, with the exception of a part
of the territory lately acquired, will be completed
the present year, as wdl be the survey of the Mis
sissippi, under the resolution of the House of Rep
resentatives, from the mouth of the Ohio to the
ocean—and likewise, of the Ohio, from Louisville
to the Mississippi. A progress, corresponding
with the sums appropriated, has also been made
in the construction of these fortifications at the
points designated. As they will form a system
of defence for the whole maritime frontier, and,
in consequence, for the interionr, and are to last
for ages, the utmost care has been taken to fix
the position of each work, and to form it on such
a scale, as will be adequate to the purpose intend
ed by it. All the inlets and assailable parts of
our Union have been minutely examined, and
positions taken with a view to the best effect, ob
serving, in every instance, a just regard to econ
omy. Doubts, however, being entertained, as to
the propriety of the position and extent of the
work at Dauphine Island, further progress in it
was suspended, soon after the last session of
Congress, and an order given to the Board of
Engineers and Naval Commissioners, to make a
further and more minute examination of it in both
respects, and to report the result without delay.
Due progress lias been made in the construc
tion of vessels of war, according to the law pro
viding for the gradual augmentation of the navy,
and to the extent of existing appropriations.
The vessels authorized by the act of 1820 have
all been completed, and are now in actual ser
vice. None of the large, ships have been, or will
be launched, for the present, the object being to
protect all which may not be required foe imme
diate service from decay, by suitable buildings,
erected over them. A squadron has been main
tained, as heretofore, in the Mediterranean, by
means whereof peace has been preserved with
the Barbary powers. This squadron has been re
duced the present year to as small a force as is
compatible with the fulfilment of the object in
tended by it. From past experience, and the
be£t information respecting the views of those
powers, it is distinctly understood that, should
our squadron be withdrawn, they would soon re
commence their hostilities and (depredations upon
our commerce. Their fortifications have lately
been rebuilt, and their maritime force increased.
It has also been found necessary to maintain a
naval force in the Tacifick, for the protection of
the very important interests of our citizens enga
ged in commerce and the fisheries in that sea.
Vessels have likeo ise been employed in cruizing
along the Atlantick coast, in the gulf of Mexico,
on Hie coast of Africa, and the neighbouring seas.
In the latter many piracies have been committed
on our commerce, and so extensive was becom
ing the range of those unprincipled adventurers,
that there was cause to apprehend, without a
timely and decisive effort to suppress them, the
worst consequences would ensue. Fortunately,
a considerable check has been given to that spir
it by onr cruizers, who have succeeded in captur
ing and destroying several of their vessels. Nev
ertheless, it is considered an object of high im
portance to continue these cruizers until the
practice is entirely suppressed. Like success
has attended our efforts to suppress the slave
trade. Under the flag of the United States, and
the sanction of their papers, the trade may be
considered as entirely suppressed, and, if any of
oqr citizens are engaged in it, under the flags and
papers of other powers, it is only from a respect
to the rights of those powers, that these offenders
are not seized and brought home, to receive the
punishment which the-laws inflict. If every oth
er power should adopt the same policy, and pur
sue the same vigorous means for carrying it into
effect, the trade could no longer exist.
Deeply impressed with the blessings which we
enjoy, and of which we have such manifold
proofs, my mind is irresistibly drawn to that Al
mighty Being, the Great Source from whence
they proceed, and to whom our most grateful ac
knowledgements are due.

State Legislature.
1 lie bills for the permanent endowment of the
University, and for the permanent endowment of
the County Academies, want only the signature
of the Governour to become laws. On the pas*
sage of these bills we congratulate the friends of
1 earning, and the people at large. With posteri
ty it will be accounted an honour to have been a
member of the Legislature of 1821.
7 he bill respecting the introduction of Negroes,
was lost in Senate,but re-considered. It is suppos
ed it will ultimately fail.
The fee bill will not be acted on finally, duriflg
this session.
On Saturday the election for State-House Offi
cers came on. The incumbents were all re-elec
ted.
Cicero Holt, Esq. was elected Solicitor of the
Western Circuit, in the place of Lawhon resigned.
Phil. Cook was re-elected Principal Keeper of
the penitentiary—and T. Bird, E. Carey, and W.
I>. Jarratt, inspectors. O. Journal.
The Legislature of Alabama having petitioned
Congress to annex to that state so much of the
province of Florida as borders on the same, and
extending east to the river Apalachicola—Mr.
Upson introduced a resolution directing the com
mittee on the State of the Republick to draft a
memorial to Congress (if no constitutional imped
iment be found to exist) requesting, in the event
of a partition of the said province, that so much of
it “ as lies east of the river Apalachicola, and
south of the line now dividing this state from that
province, to that point of the Oquefanoca swamp,
where said line now strikes it, and from thence
the most direct course to the Gulph Stream, be
annexed to the State of Georgia.”
The resolution passed unanimously.
The bill to incorporate the Washington Turn
pike Company, with a capital of $300,000,
passed the house by a vote of 70 to 20. The ob
ject oi the association is to open a Turnpike road
from Athens to Augusta.
The for removing the seat of gov
ernment to Fort Hawkins was negatived in the
lower house by a majority of 31 votes.
MANIFESTO
Os the Legislature of the State of Georgia.
In the conflict between (he Federal anil Slate
authorities, the State of Georgia will not enlist
herself on either side. She regard3 the federal
union of these States as their best safeguard
against intestine discord, and the injuries of for
eign powers. She is disposed to preserve to the
federal and the state governments, respectively,
those powers which are entrusted to the former,
or reserved by the latter in the federal constitu
tion. No restless ambition, no habitual jealousy,
in relation to the powers of the federal govern
ment, guides her policy towards the Branch of the
United States’ Bank established on her territory.
Faking the most dispassionate view of the opera
tions of that Branch, she believes they are not
warranted by any clause of the Federal Constitu
tion. It is in vain that we have defined and
written Constitutions, if by latitude of construc
tion they may be made to embrace every power
thought convenient to the temporary policy of
those who administer the government. Not only
is the establishment of a branch of the United
States Bunk on the territory of Georgia, without
her consent, a usurpation of her sovereign power,
but the obvious and increasing policy of that
branch is hostile to her interest. She has char
tered several banks which are honestly and wisely
administered. In those she is a principal stock
holder, and a large part of her revenue is derived
from these dividends. The bills of these banks
paid to the land agents and the collectors of the
customs of the United States, are deposited in the
Branch of the United States Bank, and are used
by it to drain the specie of the State Institutions,
while that Branch, availing itself of the publick
treasure, makes no issues of her own paper, and
is not liable to similar drafts.
With this inequality (heir can be no competi
tion. Jhe State Banks curtail tiieir business with
in narrower and narrower limits. Their divi
dends are reduced—their embarrassments increase
—and ere long their profits will be insufficient to
defray the ordinary expenses of their business.—
Georgia beholds her revenue dwindling, and her
various publick interests threatened with ruin, by
the operation of the hostile bank. Can the obli
gations to manage the revenue of the U. States
imply a right to establish, within any state, a bank
which shall be protected for its own profit, in wag
ing a constant and ruinous war against the insti
tutions of that State ? And shall Georgia remain
passive under such deep injuries ? She will not
dissemble her dread of another and more alarming
evil.
Every moderate government is, in a great mea
sure, controlled by the'monied influence of the
country. When the U. States Bank shall have
succeeded in crushing most of the State Banks ;
when it shall exert ail the active monied influence
of the country, where can its power be resisted?
It will have a direct influence over the gov’t, bythe
great favours which it may grant or withhold, and
it will have an indirect and far more dreadful in
fluence by individual favours granted thro’ every ■
section of our country. How many elections may
it not control ? How many officers of government
may it not bias ? When, in the natural course of
things, a great part of the stock of this bank shall
he held in Europe,foreigners will indirectly choose i
its directors ; foreigners will wield the monied in
fluence of our country ; foreigners will control
our government. Where will then be the inde
pendence of this great Republick ? Under foreign
influence, in any future conflicts with the mon
archies of Europe she will be dishonoured and
ruined.
Georgia, anxious to pursue a moderate course,
still withholds her hand, under the hope
that the parent Bank will take the solemn warn
ing and withdraw her branch from the State.
But shall Georgia exercise eternal forbearance to
wards an institution, which usurps her sovereign
ty, which invades her territory, which impover
ishes her citizens, which exhausts her revenues,!
which arrests her improvements, and which threat
ens the Federal Republick with dishonour and
ruin. The hostile Bank must alter its policy, or
it will encounter the utmost exertion of the pow
er of this State.

A memorial has been presented to the Legisla
ture of \ irginia, by the Mayor of Washington,
stating the rapid growth of that city, which has
no parallel except in the city of SL I’etersburgh ; j
and expressing a desire to fonnd certain publick |
institutions by means of Lotteries. The sale of
tickets in these lotteries having experienced much
interruption by a decision of the U. 8. Court, and
the laws of the State of Virginia, the Memoria 1
prays, that the tax on tickets may bd repealed,
or the law so modified, that tickets in lotteries
established in the District of Columbia may be
placed on the same footing as those authorized by
the Virginia Legislature. It is to be lioptd that
the publick institutions of our national metropolis
are not to be dependent for support on a system
so manifestly injurious to publick morals is the
lottery plan. This mode of raising money
has been already productive of numerous frauds,
and in those states where lotteries have been most
multiplied, the evil has become so great as to
lead to their total suppression.
Sabbath Schools. —The returns of Sabbath

; The pirate was fitted out from Margaritta, and
had but just commenced her depredations. Some \
little cash and a few articles of merchandize were j
found in possession of the crew. The name of
; her commander is Ilodolpho, whose personal ap

A man calling himself Hooper, who said he

Late Accounts from the African Coast.—Let
ters have been received from Mr. Winn, United
States agent, and from Mr. Willberger, agent to
the Colonization Society, and from some of the
settlers on the coast of Africa, as late as the 7th
of August. The agents and settlers were still at
Foura Bay, in the colony of Sierra Leone, wait
ing the termination of the rainy season, when
they expected to visit Grand Bassa, in hopes of
making a settlement there. There will be no
fv K’ ■ - ; fy -V > A.yV ‘ s7 •••
obstacle to this, but the slave trade, which is itill j
carried on in that neighbourhood, although con
trary to the law's of all the governments of Europe
and America. We have to lament the death of
the Rev. Joseph R. Andress, who departed this
life on the 28th of July, John Smith, who went
out in the Elizabeth, died July 2d of consumption.
Ot those who w ent out in the Nautilus, three have
died— Caleb Brander, from Petersburg, of fever
from imprudent exposure after his recovery from
his first attack ; Joseph Langford, from Rich
mond, near eighty years of age, fever; and the
wife of Lot Carey, likewise from Richmond, who
was supposed to be in a consumption before she
led the United States. Though several of the
others had been sick their diseases yielded readily
to medicine.
The agents write, that there is no doubt of ul
timate success to the plans of the Society, if per
severed in. 7he first settlers have been removed
fioro Sherbro Island to Foura Bay, and although
they have encountered many unexpected hard
ships and difficulties, they are not at all discoura
ged, but all wish to remain in Africa. Those who
have been to Africa and returned, though much
respected and comfortably situated in this coun
try, are still anxious to return and settle there.
Hundreds are soliciting permission to go out, and
thousands of others are only waiting to hear of a
comfortable and wdl regulated establishment to
join it. Among both these classes, are many of
the most intelligent and respectable among the
coloured population, who would be willing and
able to bear a portion, or the whole, of the expen
ses of their removal.
We mentioned a few days since, that a plot
had been detected in Havana, for an insurrection
among the blacks. By subsequent accounts it
appears that they had proceeded so far in the or
ganization of their scheme, as to appoint lords and
ladies, in future / 7 he number lodged iu the Mo
rons thirty ; seven of them females. The police
of Havanna, if it ever had a police, is said to be
now very vigilant. Bravoes and robbers, the
common and ancient pest of that city, are now
to be hunted down ; one of them was shot iu the
streets. We wisli success to this new order of
things. Personal security has never been the t*-

Dissipation Extraordinary. —A few days since,
