The Greek Ireaty.-The new Treaty of ces-

puties OF the Creek nation of Indians in jan last

3ist OF that month, was ratified and confirmed BIZ
the Senate on Friday last, together with the sup
Elemental article subsequently agreed on by which
1t is understood, the wishes of the State of Geor-
Sia bave been so fully met to induce the hope that
all dissatisfaction felt in that State at the abroga
ton OF the former treaty, will be dissipated. We
have reason TO belive that the efforts OF the Exc
cutive, and especially of that officer of it, (the
Secretary OF War, to whose province the manage
ment OF the affair particularly belonged were never
directed with more zeal and assiduity 10 any object
than TO the satisfactory adjustment of the embarrass
ins difficulties which grew out OF the former treaty.
These efforts produced the Treaty of jan by which
ABOUT nine tenths OF the territory in question was
obtained for Georgia. To the further concession
obtained by the supplemental article, the friends of
peace and harmony the country at large-are in.

JUDICIARY BILL.
sWAsHIEaTON ADriI o5 --1'be g
the Senate to the Judiciary Bill came mp yesterday
in the House OF Representatives, and were the sub
ieci OF discussion which seems to indicate that
the debate on that subject will be revived and may
possibly be so far extended as to preclude any
final disposition of the bill during the present ses
sion. The amendments Of the Senate, it will be
recollected by our readers, alter the bill in two
material features: The first is a new arrangement
OF the Circuits, by which Ohio and Kentucky are
thrown into the same instead of into two different
circuits, as proposed in the bill from the House;
and the second is provision which makes it obi
gatory to each Judge in the Western Circuits TO
reside within his own circuit. The Judiciary Com
mIitee OF The House are unanimous in their OPP
position TO these amendments and there is little
probability, we think, that the House will concur
in them; and should the Senate finally adhere, as
from the strong vote in that body for the amend
ments, would probable, the bill must be lost
The debate of yesterday arrested by a motion
oil MIR. Bartlett; OF ~. IL. to lay the amendments on
the table, and print them for consideration.
