Nov. 2t), 1824 22—6 w THE MISS 10N AR V. Georgia Legislature. From, the Recorder of Dec. 21. The Legislature adjourned sine die on Saturday night last. Some of the most im portant bills brought before the two Hoti ses, particularly those to establish a Board of Publick Works,—to new organize the Militia System,—and to incorporate the Georgia Canal Company, were either re jected or not decisively acted on. An ap propriation of ten thousand dollars was made to defray the expense of surveys, &c. pre paratory to commencing such works of In ternal Improvement as a future Legislature may deem advisable. A small appropria tion was also allowed for collating, arrang ing and preparing for publication, the old records of the Colonial government, calcu lated to shed light on the early history of the state. The following resolutions for the reception of Geo. Lafayette, were pas sed unanimously in both Houses: “ Information having been received that Gen. Lafayette, the early and zealous de fender and devoted friend of American lib erty, will probably visit this State during the present winter: “ Resolved , by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Slate of Georgia, in General Assembly met, that His Excellency the Gbvernour be authorized and he is hereby requested, lo receive the General in such a manner as in bis judgement may evince the gratitude of the people of this State, for bis distinguished services. “ And he it further unanimously resolved, that His Excellency be authorized to draw on the contingent fund of the State for such sums of money as may be necessary for car rying the nhject ofthe foregoing resolution into effect.” The following communication was sub mitted lo the Legislature by His Excellen cy the Governour, last Thursday: Executive Department, Georgia, > Milledgeville, 17th Dec.. 1824. Asa reasonable expectation ought to be indulged that the treaty now bolding with ihe Creeks, after the negotiation has been thoji far protracted, will terminate in a fur ther acquisition of territory, I recommend to you before your adjournment, to pas 9 a provisional resolution requiring the Gover nour in such event, to convene the Legisla ture, and at such season as may best com port with vour convenience. (Signed) (j. M. TROUP This communication was read and refer red to ;i select committee, who subsequent ly presented a resolution, which was adopt ed as follows: Rpsnlved, that should the contemplated acquisition of territory, in (he discretion of the Executive, require a called sessidn of the Legislature, the month of Alay would suit the convenience of the members. Yesterday week the House took up the resolution offered some days before by Dr Fort, in the following words: “ VVhqreas it is important that the will of the people should prevail in all important elections, apd io none is it more so than in that of President of the United States; and it being manifest that Geo Andrew Jack son, if not the firsl, is decidedly the second choice of the people of this State; and that his popularity in a large portion of the U. gfitates, and .especially in that section io fjghich we are placed, is far greater than rrnat of any other individual; and believing t .as we do, that on this subject, we act in con ‘formity with the wishes of our constituents: “ Be it therefore resolved by ihe Legislature of Georgia , That in the event of the elec tion of President of the United Stales com ing before the House of Representatives, and it appearing that Air. Crawford, who has received the Electoral vote of this State, cannot succeed to the Presidency, our Representatives in Congress be, and th''y are hereby requested to give the vote ot this Slate to Gen. Andrew Jackson, he being the second choice of Georgia.” .And the same being read, Mr. Foster, of Greene, offered the following as a substi tute, to wit: “ The General Assembly of (bis State, having already expressed by the election of Electors of President aod Vice-President, its decided preference for William H. Craw ford for the Presidency of the United Slates: /V'- “ Resolved, That it is inexpedient for the Legislature at this time to give any further opinion on the subject; and that should the election for President come into Ihe House of Representatives of the United States, we have full confidence in the wisdom and in tegrity of our Representatives, to whom it belongs, to give the vote of this State on this important question.” Mr. Lumpkin moved that the original and substitute lie on the table the remain der of the session, which was finally agreed i'fck.feas 63, Nays 43.

LA FAYETTE. We were witness, yesterday, [Dec. 9.] to the reception of General Lafayette by the Senate of the United Slates. It was a scene of simple but imposing dignity. Lafayette is the only man who ever was, in his per sonal capacity, pnbiickly received by the Senate of the United States. General Washington in all the brightness of his fame, and all the plenitude of his popularity, in vested, besides, with the dignity of the Presidential Offiee, when he came to the Senate, by appointment, to consult respect ing a Treaty, was, indeed, received by them standing, uncovered, as in the present case* but even he was not attended and introduc ed, as Lafayette has been, by a committee of the most venerable members of the Sen ate. On his introduction, yesterday, the good old General was received, as a broth er, rather than as a stranger—as one of a loving family, come from a distant shore, after a long and weary absence, to revisit the friends of his youth. The respect which has been shewn to him here, since he arrived among us, is great, but it was all due. No parallel case can ever occur. Wbat has been done cannot be brought into precedent; and there is no danger, in pay iug respect to this worthy mao, that we shall incur the charge of adulation or man worship. At one o’clock this day he is to be received by the House of Representa tives.—National Intelligencer. Washington Citv, December 10. RECEPTION OF LAFAYETTE BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. .At I o’clock,, according to previous ar- rangement,General LAFAYETTE appear ed, attended by the Committee of twenty four Members ofthe House of Representa tives, and was introduced to the House by Mr. Mitchell, Chairman of the Committee. On the Oeneral’s entry, the Members and persons admitted on the Uoor of the Hoase, rose, and remained staoding, uncov ered. Mr. Speaker then rose, and, in behalf of (he House, addressed the Nation’s Guest in the following eloquent strain, adorned by those graces of oratory for'which he is dis tinguished : 1 General : The House of Representa tives of the Uaitad States, impelled alike by its own feelings and by those of the whole American People, could not have assigned to me a more gratifying duty than that of being its organ to present to you cordial congratulations upon the occasion of your recent arrival in the United States, in com pliance with the wishes of Congress, and to assure you of the very high satisfaction which your presence affords on this early theatre of yoor glory and renown. Al though but few of the members who com pose this body shared with you in the War of our Revolution, all have a knowledge, from impartial history, or from faithful tra dition, of the perils, the sufferings, and the sacrifices, which you voluntarily encounter ed, and the signal services, in America and in Europe, which you performed lor an in fant, a distant, and an.alien people; and all feel and own the very great extent of the obligations uoder which you have placed our country. But the relations io which you have ever stood to the United States, interesting and importantas they have been, do not constitute the only motive ofthe res pect and admiration which this House en tertains for you. Your consistency of character, your uniform devotion to regu lated liberty, in all the vicissitudes of a long and arduous life, also commands its highest admiration. During all the recent convul sions of Europe, amidst, as after the disper sions of, every political storm, the people of the U. States have ever beheld you (rue lo your old principles, firm and erect, cheering and animating, with your well known voice, the votaries of Liberty, its faithful and fearless companion, ready to shed the last drop ot that blootl which, here, you so freely and nobly spilt in the same holy case. * ..‘ u The vain wish has been sometimes in dulged; that Providence would allow the Patriot, after death, to return to bis coun try, and to contemplate the intermediate changes which had taken place— to view the forests felled, the cities built, the moun tains levelled, the canals cut, the highways constructed, the progress of the arts, the advancement of learning, and the increase of population. General, your present visit to the United States is the realization of the consoling object of that wish. You are in the midst of posterity ! Every where you must have been struck with the great chan ges, physical and moral, which have occur red since you left us. Even this very city, bearing a venerated name, alike endeared to you and to us, has since emerged from the forest which then covered its site. In one respect, ybu behold us unaltered, and’ that is in the sentiment of continued devo tion to liberty, and of ardent affection and profound gratitude to your departed friend, the father qf his country, and to your illus trioos associates, in the “field and in (he Cab inet, for the multiplied blessings which sur round us, and for the very privilege of ad dressing you, which I now exercise. This sentiment, now fondly cherished by more than ten millions of people, will be trans mitted, with unabated vigour, down the tide of time, through the countless millions who are destined to inhabit this Continent, to their latest posterity.” To which address, General Lafayette re. plied,in a tone in which energy of character and (sensibility of feeling were most interes tingly blended, to the following effect: Mr. Speaker, and gentlemen of the House of Representatives: While the People of the United Slates and their honourable Representatives in Congress have deigned to make choice of me, one of the American veterans, to signi fy in his person their esteem for our joint services and their attachment to the prin- ciples for which we have had the honour to fight and bleed, I am proud and happy to share those extraordinary favours with my dear Revolutionary companions—yet, it would be, on my part, oncandid and ungrate ful not to acknowledge my personal chare in those testimonies of kindness, as they ex cite io my breast emotions which no ade quate words could express. “ My obligations to (be United States, sir, far exceed any merit I might claim. They date from the time wheta f hare bad the happiness to be adopted as a young soldier, a favoured son of America. They have been continued to me during almost half a century of constant affection and confidence, and now, sir, thanks to your most gratifying invitaiioo, I find myself greeted by a aeries of welcomes, one boor of which would more than compensate for the publick exertion* and sufferings of a whole life. “The approbation of the American peo ple and their Representatives, for my cen- [Price $3 50 per ann. duct during the vicissitudes of the European Revolution, is the highest reward I could . receive. Well may I staud “firm and erect,” when, in their names, and by you, Mr. Speaker, i am declared to have, in ev ery instance, been faithful to those Ameri can principles of liberty, equality, and true social order, the devolioo to which, as it has been from my earliest youth, so it shall con tinue to be to my latest breath. “You have been‘pleased, Mr. Speaker, lo adude to the peculiar/felicity of my situ ation, when, after so long an absence, l am called to witness the immense improve-’ ment*, the admirable communications, the prodigious r-atipns of which we find an ex ample ip tbia Cily v wvjwvo4j an j rt ia n venerable Palladium; ta a word, t.l’. M grandeur and prosperity of these happy United Stales, which, at the same time they nobly secure the complete assertion of American Independence, reflect on every part of the world the light of a lar superiour political civilization. • “ What better pledge cAn be given of a persevering national love of liberty, when those blessings are evidently the result of a virtuous resistance to oppression, and of in stitutions founded on the rights of man and the Republican principle of self-govern ment. JSo, Mr. Speaker, posterity has not begun for me—since, in the sons of my companions and friends, 1 find the same pub lick feelings, and, permit me to add, the same feelings in ny behalf, which i have had the happinees to experience in their fathers. “ Sir, I have been allowed, forty years ago, before a Committee of a Coogress of thirteen States, to express the fond wishes of an American heart. On this day I have * Ihe honour, and enjoy the delight, to con gratulate the Representatives ofthe Union, so vastly enlarged, on the realization of those wishes, even beyond every hutpaa expectation, and upon the almost infinite prospects we can with certainty anticipate. “ Permit me, Mr. Speaker, and gentle men of the House of Representatives, to join, to the expression of those sentiments, a tribute of my lively gratitude, affectionate devotion and profound respect.” Alter the General and the Members had resumed their seats, and a short pause oc curred, 0 Mr. Mitchell, the organ of the Committee of reception, moved an adjournment. The motion was agreed to, and the House was adjourneJ to Monday. The Speaker then descended from the Chair, and most affectionately saluted the General. His example ivas followed by the Members of the House, individually, and some lime was spent in Ibis agreeable manner before Ihe General retired. MILITARY COURTSHIP. Henry VIII. wished to unitp the crowns of England and Scotland, by the marriage of his soa Edward with Mary, Queen of Scots. Edward and Mary wer theu chil dfen, and James V. the father of Mary, bad recently died. Hefiry made Ihe proposi tion for marriage to Ihe Parliament of Scot land. At first they consented; but hangb ty demands on the part of Henry disgusted the Scots, and they ilecliued ratifying the bargain. Henry, enraged at this indignity, sent an army into Scotland, under the Earl of Hertford, with the following orders:—- “to put all to fire and sword—to burn Edin burgh to sack houses and as many towns and villages about Edinburgh as ye may conveniently. Sack Leilh and subvert it, and all Ihe rest, putting man, woman, and child fire and sword, without exception, when any resistance shall be made against yon: and this done, pass over to Fifeland, and extend like extremities and destruction to all towns and villages whereunto yon may reach conveniently.” All this was done to induce the Scots to acquiesce ia the proposed alliance, and to revenge a soppnsed affront. “These barbarous orders,” says Dr. Robertson, “seem to have been executed with a rigorous exactness.” In confirms tion of this remark he gives a report of what the Britons effected in fifteen days in the secoad year of the war in two counties only. “ They burnt, razed, and destroyed io the counties of Berwick and Boxbtiry—Monas teries and Friar’s houses, 7; —Castles, towns, and piles, 16;—Market towns, 5; Villages, 243!” “ Such rough courtship, as the Earl of Hunily humourously celled it, disgusted the whole nation; their aversion to the match grew mto abhorrence.* But this manner of courting was continued several years, and was not closed when Henry died. After his death the Earl of Hertford was make Duke of Somerset, and he reigned as Protector in the minority of Edward VI. He pursued Henry a plan of courtship, and entered Scotland with a great army, and caused the death of 10,000 Scots. But after all this havock, devastation and horrour, the object was aot attained. Mary was never married to Edward Vj. What we have now before us is a fair sample of what have been called, “just and necessary wars” in Christendom. Whoev er will be -at the trouble of examining his tory iu respect to the numerous wars which ChjfHljttn prions have waged, within the
