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. JAMES MONROE. Washington, Dec. 3, 1821. 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. THE MISSIONARY. MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24. To Readers and Correspondents. In order to present, at one view, a State Paper of so much interest as the annual communication of the National Executive, we are necessarily compelled to exclude many articles intended for our paper of this week. 41 Richard Orderly,” is received, and shall have a place in our next. We take this opportu nity to assure our correspondent, that so far from being * 4 troublesome,” we should deem it no in considerable favour to hear from him more fre quently. General Intelligence. Election of Speaker . —Philip P. Barbour,Esq. of Virginia, was elected, on the twelfth i ballot,. Speaker of the House of Representatives of the U. States, by a majority of one vote. The final ballot presented the following result: Whole number of votes 172 Necessary to a choice 87 Barbour 88 Taylor 67 Baldwin 6 S. Smith 4 Rodn'y 3 Scattering 4 Mr. Taylor is said to hive received the support of the Eastern members generally ; but sixteen of the Representatives fran his own state (N. Y.) uniformly voted against Irni. On being conducted tojthe chair, Mr. Barbour addressed to the house a few appropriate remarks, expressing his warmest gratitude for the appoint ment he had received, and declaring that it was as unexpected as it was dijtinguished. ■—-4 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 Schools in Great Britain, give an aggregate of 517,583 scholars, and 36,227 teachers. The num ber of schools is 5015, of which 389 were estab lished during the past yeai;. Useful Liberality.— The Mechanick Society of the city of New York has erected an elegant three story brick building for an Apprentices’ School and Library. It appears from the records of the Librarian, that thirty-six thousand volumes have been delivered to Apprentices since the estab lishment of the Library 12 months ago. A Reward ofslso is offered by the Executive | of this state for the apprehension of Heury Shep j herd, of Baldwin co. charged with the murder of ; David Murphey ; and a like reward for the ap prehension of Merridan Drake, of Madison co. charged with the murder of Flamstead Borum. Charles E. Haynes, Esq. of Sparta, and John R. Golding, F q. of Athens, are announced as candidates for seats in Congress at the next elec tion. It is said that nearly one hundred petitions for Divorces were presented to the Legislature of Tennessee at the late session ; among them was one from Gov. M’Minn, which was refused ! The Kentucky Legislature has also been much employed in similar business. Hope for Maiden Ladies.—Mr. Baker, of Lib erty, has introduced a bill into the House of Rep resentatives of this State, for taxing Bachelors over the age of 25 years, extra of the ordinary poll tax. Rapid Travelling.— The President’s Message was received at Baltimore by express from Wash ington, in one hour and fifty minutes, a distance of 37 measured miles. Copies were delivered by the Baltimore printers in one hour after its re ceipt. Candidates for the Gallows.— The U. S. ship Hornet has captured off St. Domingo, a piratical vessel, with a crew of nineteen men, made up j of Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians and negroes.— i The prize, with five es the pirates, under the charge of midshipman W. H. Kennon, has arrived at Norfolk. The remainder are detained on; i board the Hornet, which continued on her cruise. 1 ; 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 ’ pearance is said to be that of a thorough bred bandit. A man calling himself Hooper, who said he came from Georgia, was arrested at Petersburg, Va. on the 28th ult. for passing counterfeit notes on the Bank of Potomack. A festival in honour of Dr. Jcnner, to whom the world is so much indebted for the discovery | of vaccination,was celebrated in Berlin by a splen-, did banquet, at which many of the most eminent■ individuals in the kingdom were present. Four 1 hundred thousand children were vaccinated in i the Prussian dominions during the year 1819. R. 11. Wilde, Esq. has been elected Mayor of Augsuta, in the room of Col.

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*- culiar blessing of the inhabitants of Havana. JV\ Y. Spectator. Dissipation Extraordinary. —A few days since, a sprightly monkey belonging to a gentleman of this city, was accidently left in a room where a pitcher of choice whiskey punch was brewing by the fire. Master Jack, aftertasting the beverage, found it so delicious that he was tempted to re peat his draught, until he became half seas over. He then by way of a joke, caught a Parrot, which was also a member of the family, and slily talcing poor Poll to a retired closet, divested her of her plumage, and then let her go. The next morning, Jack suffered severely’ from his debauch —he would swallow nothing but cold water, of which he drank large quantities, and with most dejected physiognomy, sat for hours applying both his hands to his throbbing temples.
