Washington, February 6 A new and very un.
welcome topic was yesterday introduced iR.o both
Houses Of Congress- by the Message Of the Pres.
dent Of The United States, touching the question
which has arisen between the United States and the
State Of Georgia, in regard TO the execution OF the
las, Treaty with the Creek Indians. Though we
are sure that nothing serious will be allowed to re
suit from it, it is not without great regret that we
have the collision arrive even at The point
which it has reached. The subject is one which
demands the serious and, above all, the dispassion
ATE. consideration OF the Public Councils Any
her treatment Of it--any other result than good
understanding between the STATE and General Gov
einmtns, odut ed bv mutual forbearsnce aud good
ieeng--wii exhibit this country TO the world in an
attitudr j, has never before assumed and ct mo-
mtpt when, more Than ever, we should. in cherish

ourselves to the respect Of our friends even Of and

The reader is referred to The Message Of the Pres
iden,, in another column. Whilst every good cti-
zen must regret that any Misunderstanding should
exs, between the general government and that Of
any OF the States, the tone OF the Message is such
cannot iai, we think, to meet the appreciation OF
nine tenhs Of the people OF the United States. who
we are persuaded, whatever objections they may
have to the Administration will uphold it in The de-
ience Of honor and justice.

TIMOTHY PirK1N Esq. Of Connecticut, (former-
" for many years prominent member of Congress,
and author OF we'll known work on the Statistics
Of he Union,) has issued proposals for a work en-
tled Sketches OF the Political and Civil History
ii the United States" from the settlement OF the
Colonies 10 the close Of The Administration of Prcs
denr Washington to be comprised in two volumes,
Of 500 pages each, a, 81 so per volume. One OF
The objects of Mr.. p in this work, is to trace the
origin Of our political and civil institutions. aud the
more remote, as we'll as proxmate, causes of our
Revolution. From on attentive investigation Of the
Colonial disputes with the parent country and par
cularly that arising from the monopoly Of the com
merce and manufactures OF the Colonists Mr.. r.
is led to the conclusion that the seeds Of the Revolu
ton were sown long before the passage OF The Stamp
Act Any additional light on this part of our his
tory will be valuable and from the papers OF ndivl.
duals to which we understand Mr.. p. has had &C.
cess he expects to b. able to present some interes-
ting facts particularly in relation to our Foreign Al.
fairs during the Revolution, not generally known.
We are confident that MIR. P. will carefully exclude
every thing Of party character from his work and
as we know not many hands better qualified for such
a task we anticipate from his abors ar important
