an attack upon the Territory. the People. and the
sovereignty of Georgia.
The COMMITTEES will not take upon themselves to
express any opinion on the subject Of counsels,
SO much to be deplored. They have no apprehen-
sion that the People of Georgia will engage in
violent collision with the Union, for the purpose
of sustaining title to a small strip Of bauen
land, acquired under instrure nt, which, by a
very large majority of the other House of Con-
gress, sanctioned by an almost unanimous vote OF
this House, has been declared "null and void -
Ii, however, is necessary 10 contemplate 30 dis
asrous an event, the Committee trust the law oil
the land will be maintained, and its faith preserved
invioate. The Committee recommend the adoption
OF the following resolutions:
Resotred, That it is expedent to procure ces.

RESOLVED. That, until such a cession is procured
the law OF the land, as SET forth in the treaty o.
Washington, ought to be maintsined, by all ne

gladly seizs this opportunity to humble lis haughti-
ness and arrogance. Though the continental cabi-
nets. from Temporary policy, may tolerate the
conduct OF England, they would n,ver make COM
mon cause with her. The British Minister makes
boas, of his good understanding with Frances bu,
had he not dsirused IN fact this vaunted union he
would hardly have insulted France in the same
breath, or boosted his policy in permitting her to
Cypress herself by the support Of the army which
she had sent into Spain.
France, in fact. says the Archbishop, can never
be absurd to league herself against her
ally, or see without alarm a British ascendancy in
the Peninsula 1t is her interest that Spain should
be independent of foreign influence; that no nno-
| vaiions should be introduce in that quarter
which sooner or later may endanger the French
throne itself; and, above all, that her rivals may
not be allowed such opportunity Of sgsrsndizing
themselves England relies little on the aid, and
is herself the object of the odium of the Liberals
or her minister would not nave spoken of them with
the disdain he manifests for them, even while b.
boasts OF their aid, and called them the discon
tented and dissffeced." 90 If she approach GU,

A gentleman having a remarkable long
ylsage, was one day riding by school, at
the gate of which he overheard young
Sheridan say to another lad, 'TThut GEN
tlemans face is longer than his life"
Struck by the strangeness of this rude OBJ
servatlon, the man turned his horses head
and requested an explanation. "Sir, said
the boy, " meant no offence in the world ::
but have read in the Bible at School, that
a mans life is but span, and am sure
your face is double that length" The gen
tleman could not help laughing, and he
threw the lad sixpence for his wit.

VINO is YANKEE? Let man north
of New York visit that city, and they call
him Yankee, to distinguish him from a
New Yorker. Let man from New York
visit Philadelphia, and he will be called a
Yankee, to distinguish him from a Phila-
delphian. Let a man from Philadelphia
go no aBher sQ 2ivt than u BalItim9re, and
gulsh him from Baltimorean. Let man
from the north of the Potomac visit Virgin
ia, and he is Immediately dubbed with the
title of Yankee, to distinguish him from a
pure plrginian. Let man from Virginia
visit Charleston, and he is supposed to
have strong claims to the appellation Of
Yankee. Let man from Charleston visit
New Orleans, and there are ten chances
to one he will get the nickname of Yam
kee. Let man from any part of Jona-
thans dominions visit the kingdom of John
Bull, and he.will forthwith receive the an
pellation of Yankee. The rule observed
IN this country is, that the man who re-
celves that name, must come from some
part north of him who gives it. To com
pensate us for giving each other nick
names, John Bull Jumps us all together. y
and calls us all Yankees.
