But it is due to Go vernor [Lahti's. of Georgia, whose name has been brought into the controversy respecting that melan choly affair, to copy the exposition of et. which he bus given on the first public occosiou that offered. We therefore copy the following : Extract from a coinusimicatioo by the Governor of Georgia, to the Legislature of that State, now in Session. " The war which hail commenced during the last year, betimes' the United States and the Seminole Indians, bor dering on our southi ru frontier, has been terminated by a mutual cessation of hustilitice, without auy particular sti pulations fir peace. " I should sot enlarge my remarks on this subject, but for an event conuected with it, which has excited great inte rest throughout the State. The. circninstatice to which I allude is the late expedition, undertaken to retaliate, sod thus to repress sod chastise the atrocious audacity of the wage inliabitauts of two hostile village., designated front their chief men, Hopaunee suit Piwieunue. " From these dens, it was ascertained, they made frequent and formidable iuroads spun our defenceless Guiltier, mark ing their course with the butchery of oar women and chit dren, and the other teat(o enormities peculiar to their bar barous warfare. Afflictive and alarming intelligence of these si•predations, accompanied by argent demands for protec- tion from those whose situations were most exposed, reached the Executive almost daily. • " An early application was made to the commanding General of the military district, fur a force competent to the derelict of our frontier; but it was several months before it was cvt•n noticed. Under these eisetonstances I should have Ghetto culpable iusensibility to the Pulicrings of my fellutv•eit.gens, and to the duties of the high mud impur.

Oa nearing the amino town, they acre inform ed that oue of the hostile chiefs was harboured there, and con ceiving the spirit of their histrnctions warranted the noes. sure, they attacked the town, and siting with the recollection of the rneseiless balharities exercised on their neighbours tool inatives, and their supposed perfidy committed in har bouring the enemy, proceeded to extlemities, over which hn moony weeps, and which I deeply sud sincerely lament. " In the General Orders, it will be seen, that Captain Wright was directed to call on Captain Bothwell, orate mi litia .if this State, then iii the service of lite United Slates, cuinnisioling at Fort Early, for part of his force, if tieces. miry. I was not certain that I hail the right to call un these troops, but the emergency of the case lift on my mind no i,oubt of its propriety. On the return of the troops, aud the report of the c mandisig officer, whose sisteniesit was cor roborated by the testimony of Other officers of the detach ment, some of whom ate gentles.. II of high standing and elsarsrier is the State, I felt a,tisfiel that, although the or. deo* given had been manifestly violated, yet, that the motives 1 . which influenced the cuudnet, hulls of the troops and their officers, were more the result of s sincere desire to prevent a recurrence of the distressiug 'tette* which hail recently been witnessed on the Goodin., than any deliberate cruelly or pre meditated seedily. The siihject, however, became a theme of animadversion s arid a windier of opposite statements he•. ing made, both la the Exec move mid iu the public pi in ts, I deemed ol necessary, for the purpose of doing justice to the Indians, as well as to the eltaracier of Captain Wright, lu have biro arrested.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, THURSDAY, Demurs 24. ISIS. THE Al ESSAG E. A copy of the PRESIDENT'! Message, commu nicated on the 17th of last month to the Congress of the United States of America, on opening the present Session, has reached town. It is an inte resting paper, and possesses peculiar claims upon the attention of this country. It commeutes by congratulating the Congress on the commercial prosperity of the United States, the abundant harvest they have enjoyed, and on the improving condition of the public revenue. Adverting then to the foreign relations of the Union, the Paest- DINT apprises the Congress of the commencement of siegociatious with Great Britain upon the hue resting subject of a tontinercial intercourse. .4 As the time," he observes, "limited for the operations , of the Commercial Convention with Great Britain will expire in July 'text, and it was deemed important that there should be no interval during which that portion of our commerce. which was provided for by that Convention, should not be regulated either by ar rangement between the two Governments, or by the authority of Congress, the Minister of the United States at London was instructed early in the list summer to invite the attention of the British Go vernment to the subject. Ile was instructed to .propose also, that the tiegociation which it was wished to open might extend to the general com merce of the two countries, and to every other inte rest awl unsettled differences between them, parti cularly those relating to impressment, the fisheries, and boundaries, in the hope that an arrangement might he made, on principles o 1 reciprocal advan tage, which might comprehend and provide in • satisfactory bummer fur all these high concerns. " 1 have the satisfaction to state, that the pro 'load! was received by the British Government iu the spirit which prompted it, and that a negneia tion has beets opened in London embracing all these objects." Ile then states, that previous to opening the ne gotiation, it was agreed that the Convention should continue for a term of not less than eight years. To the relations of the United States with Spain, as next in interest and importance, the PRESIDIIIIT then adverts. He justifies the conduct of General JACKSON, in seizing on the Florida,. in a manner that leaves no doubt of the perfect understanding that prevailed upon this point between the General and the Government. He dwells upon the excesses which, he says, were committed by the Indians on the citizens of the United States ; urging that Spain could not uphold her power; that her au thority was confined to the walls of Pensacola and St. Augustine; and that the capture and possession of Amelia Island stood its • different situation from the Florida,is as the former was taken from a band of freebooters, who were not acknowledged by the Governments of Buenos Ayres or Venezuela.— Adverting again to the Florida., he observes, that Spain had it always in her power to prevent these disagreeable consequences, by the cession of the Florida. to the United States; but the esters:its committed by the Indians, its place of being re pressed by the Spanish Governor of Pensacola, had been urged on by him. He furnished the ene tnies of the United States with provisions and mu nitions of war, and this was the occasion of his re moval to the Havannah. The United States, how. ewer, were still disposed to peace. and had ordered Pensacola to be given up unconditionally to any Spaniard with proper authority. St. Mark's being situated in the heart of the In dian territory, it stood in a different situation ; but it would also be delivered up if Spain sent an ade quate force. Having entered on this topic, the PRESIDENT could not pass over the execution of the two British stihjects, Messrs. ARBUTHNOT and A mnaurrse., which he notices in the following terms :—" Copies of the instructions to the Commanding General ; of his correspondence with the Secretary of War, ex plaining his motives and justifying his con duct, with a copy of the proceedings of the Courts-Martial of the trial of ARBUTHNOT and ANIMISTIC, and of the cones lence between the Secretary of State and the ;Minister Plenipo tesitirsty of Spam near this Government, and of the Minister Plenipotentiary of the UOitrd States at Madrid with the Government of Spain, will be I laid before Congress." The PRESIDICNT apprises the Congress, that the Coturniiwitmers had returned from South Ame rica, and the observations they had made regard ing the war between Spain and the Patriots will be laid before Congress. He fuither obsei yea, that there is no prospect of a termination of the war in that quarter. Spam had, indeed, in a circular, acquainted the United States dim the 4114pute be tween the Mother Country and the Col.mics would he discussed at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle ; but the Allied Sovereigns wily offered their vice: they would not 'fluid •ny assistance as to military force ; they hail, on the contrary, recom mended conciliation. He then Irate gre:►t E:itisfaci ion to state. that am relation* w►th Fiance, Russia, and the other Power.. continue on the most friendly basis. The augmentation of our navy is advancing with a steady progress." Adverting to the unfortunate Indians, he says, that Treaties were formed with some, and that others would be reduced to subject►on. Ile goes into a lung druid on the progress of the fortifica firm', and on the Increase of the navy, as sanctioned by Congress. Another State, the Illinois, had been added to the Union. A minute statement is finally given of the pre sent internal situation of America, 'AO' is repre acute I as being of the most gratifying description. Such is the substance of this State Paper, which, whatever may be the feelings excited by the discus sion of the several topics ettiliraced in it, will un doubtedly be read with a lively interest. It pre sents s fl►ttering picture of tie. improving eninlition of the Union, mill proves the inereasing respect with which its concerns are reaardrif by the Powers of the 0:41 IVorld. A NEM ut:m r's Alessage is gene rally a more satisfactory and colAtis exposition of public affairs than a KING'S Speccli, still lie who prepares it Stelll4 to hr more actuated with a sincere desire of actually giving the Legisliitive Body me! the people a general and cum► l trrhru-ive view of their internal state and external than of aflet•ting to convey information, while the cooly object of the wiper is to fulfil a public ceremony, without disclosing one point of co►nn►ercial ur will tie :t1 interest. The PitEsti:is:sea Message, or which we Inow now communicated the substance, owes a consider able share or its unportancron least in this country, to the notice it 'like. of the commercial regulatimis that are now in farce between Great Britain and the United States, mill the promise it holds out of is speedy and happy removal of those antiquated prin ciples that interrupt the harnionv or the two coun tries, and suspend the enpyittent of tlinse mutual blessings which a free intercourse is ca'cillated to bestow. No principle seemw to us platwr than that if we desire to carry on a trade with any country, it would be of advantage that we %loathd carry it on subject to its few restrictions a n d inymaltluns 84 pm.- .ible. But how eau we In justice Or 111 common sense hope that any other people will permit us to enter their harbours and markets free aild unrestrict ed, if we on nor parts do not hold oust to them a si milar advantage? litre restrict, they will retaliate— d we impose deities, they will Increase prices —and, finally, if we close our harbours, they will prevent our access to their markets. (Yoder any circum stances, a free trade thus considered, founded on principles of strict reripruemts, is of advantage to every country ; but in the present state of the trade and manufactures of Great Britain, to us it must be particularly beneficial. Who could entertain the slightest appreliensious for the success of Bri tish capital and imlnstry, if ',laced in competiriiiii with other tuitions? Are they not at this must, nt a cause of irritation and alarm to almost every people, and an object of vexatious and hostile taxa tion to almost every Government ? Our manufac turers do not complain of being excluded from their native markets by the successful irruption of foreign skill ; they are themselves the invaders of what their foreign competitors would wish to have regarded us their exclusive pritileges. The great body of our people are not indignant at the too great facility afforded to the introduction of foreign produce, wlwtlirr articles of neves:sity or of luxury. On the coilliary, the poor coultilain that impedi ments have been thrown in the way of their sliming, at a fair and 1181Ur4l price, the blessings bestow ed by Providence oil more favoured countries ; while the richer classes of society, whose wealth entitles them to theiosjoyment of foreign luxuries, ridicule the preposterous schemes that have hero devised for compelling them to obtain, by indirect, circuitous, and expensive means, the same articles, that they might, if commerce were less fetteted, have received for their just value. The removal of commercial restrictions, there fore, in this country, could not be attended with any disadvantages, while such it measure could not fail of being highly popular. It would increase our foreign trade, bring foreign capital to our shores, and proportionally promote the productive !rowers of our country. Our example would almost of treceesity be followed by other nations, awl a free intercourse, attended with mutual blessings, would be established between distmt e tries. With vexatious and unfriendly restric.intis, would be removed a mans source of emataitiorni and jea lousies, and as commerce became exteaded, it would promote the cwhisati of usaiversal peace. It belongs to Great Britain and the United States of America to commence this work of bessrvolence and wisdom. The establishment of a reciprocal commerce between the kindred people must elm sure their future harmony, and will effiect more towards promoting' a lasting peace between them thou mountains of parclimerit, drawn up with so- I mockery iu the mime of the Almighty, and prornisiog peace while they prepared the seeds of future war. The hopes long entertained of acquiring an 'inti mate knowledge of the interi , r of Africa, are likely to be woo realized. A very intelligent and enter priaing Gentleman, newel unappalled by the dangi r and difficulties of the undertaking, and the failure ril many advetiture,s to penetrate into the heart of that Continent, has recently returned to England, after having overcome those difficulties, and successfully explored the king dom of the Ashanteer, iu which lie resided fur six mouths. During the first half of this in terval, he was incarcerated in a dungeon, and expected hourly to be put to death. The King of the AIIIANTEES was greatly interested by this stranger, and had him often brought from his cell to the Palace, fur the purpose of inquiring from whence lie Caine anal the purpose of his visit.— These interviews always took place in the dead of the night, and upon one early occasion has MAJESTY met Mr. flonEce half way in the dark. After re peated conversation his MAJESTY became quite satisfied with respect to the intentions of the stranger, who was liberated, and for the hist three months of his star• lie resided at the Court, and was treated with great kindness.
