"Most Of the unfortunate English

The citizens of the county Of Jasper and
town of Monticello, in Georgia, have invited
Gen. Gaines to partake of a public dinner,
which the General has promised to do, as
soon as his engagements will permit. Such
manifestations of regard, directly in the teeth
of the Governors proclamation ofsuspension,
win probably complete his Exceliency's NOR
tification.

This is the whole Of the argument of
Papirius and a Plain Man. Now sub
nit, is it not evident that the State OF
! Georgia is a stranger TO the treaty
that the United States are acting only
on the defensive, and strictly within
their powers and authority-and shall
the people of this country tamely sub
nit to see their Executive Officer cen
sured: shall the energies ofthe General
Government, put forth in this dispute
to prevent the National faith from be-
ing violated, be trammelled by opposi-
ton? trust not. If vel there was
treason against Government, Governor
Troup is a traitor if he puts his threats
in execution. How can he speak OF
the Hartford Convention? If conspi-
racv existed among those malcontenfs,
il had some decency left, for the world
is yet unacquainted with the delibera-
tons of their conclave.
1t seems from Papirius that the Co
vernon is no little man, but will do as
much as he threatens: if he does so, |
trust that our fellow citizens of Geor-
gia will not support him in his views,
but, withdrawing their confidence, will
mark with disapprobation the man who
with unhallowed hands would sever
the golden cord which binds these Re-
publics together. In so doing they
would but follow the last advice of
Washington to his country. If the peo-
pie do not think with the National Co.
vernment now, they never can: but they
do; and it is the obvious endeavor Of
Papirius and Plain Man, conscious of
the weakness of the cause they advo-
cate, through a mistaken zeal for south
ern interests, to tumble questions hay
ing no concern whatever.

Extract of q letter from one of the editors OF
the Georgia Patriot, dated Jasper County,
Augusta.
The radicals are circulating a report
that Gen. Gaines had been ordered to
pay over the 100000 to the Indians
that made the treaty. The following
you may rely on, as l copy it from
Gen. Gaines's own hand, in a letter 10
Mr.. Warner. He says:
."He has been notified by the Depart
ment of War, that the money, referred
to in the treaty, will be paid to the SEM
igrating party but this party is under
stood to mean every Indian within the
coded territory either in Georgia or
Alabama. This party will, therefore,
consist of from IA to 5000 Indians
The payment of the money will not
take place until the actual number OF
all the Indians interested can be ascer-
taincd-it will then take place, at some
convenient place ,cithin the coded ter
ritory."

The Court Martial continued, on Monday
It's examination of witnesses in'the case OF
Commodore STEWART. Among others, Lieut..
Com'dt. CoSNoR, who commanded the schr.
Dolphin, was questioned in relation to Com,
Stewards knowledge of improper transac-
tons on board that vessel, and so fully did the
Lieutenant exonerate the accused, that the
Judge Advocate thought it unnecessary to
examine any further evidence on that point.
When the whole testimony for the prosecu-
ton was closed, the Counsel for the prisoner
asked and obtained leave to introduce the de-
fence by a preliminary statement of its gene
raj nature, and the course they meant to
pursue. The Court then adjourned, and met
again on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, when
Mr.. Hopkinson, on behalf of the accused,
read the statement alluded to. 1t is said to
have contained explanations in detail, OF the
specifications under each charge, and the
transactions to WHICH they referred were sta,

On Saturday afternoon, a little after

Professor Robertson of Paris, made an
ascent in a balloon from the interior of
Castle Garden, before an immense con-

balloon exhibited the appearance of a

tors fancifully remarked, without his
proboscis, and quivered about on the

a dozen small cords, at which as many
young men and boys were stationed for
the purpose Of holding il down.
During the four hours occupied in FL

into the garden in one continual stream.

LONDON, JUNE /.
The French troops have wholly eyac-

binary, is, that The Constitutionalists,
whom they were sent to subdue, were
those who most regretted their depar-
ture. The bigots rejoiced that they
were rid Of so many herelics and deists.
Some garrisons yet remain in Spain.
Notwithstanding the stock jobbing let
tiers from Madrid, TO the contrary, the
sway of Ferdinand appears effectually
established in Spain; and all the hopes
of the revoIutionists 100 have vanished.
The reports, also, that he intended,
when be found his power fixed, to in.
troduce system of government similar
TO that in successful operation in France,
have also proved fallacious. On the

King issued Royal Decree, in which
he expressly declares, that he will not
make any innovations in the regime
and government of his kingdom, suffer
any limits to be prescribed to his author
ity, or permit the establishment Of any
Chambers, OF any other appearance of
a Representative Government; and he
adds, that he has assurances from his
illustrious Allies, that they will support
him in these resolutions.-He further
adds bis willingness to make such ref
ormation 10 the organization of his
Council of State, as experience shall
