BY an article We published few days -, .
will be remembered that the U. S. schr az
pus was ashore near Havana, and was e,Os..,
TO 90 to pieces. We learn that she ha, bsp. oa
off, after taking out her guns, &c. with soaT
jury to her bottem, and had proceeded far d.

1t is probable that the public will sho,,.
gratifed with the opinion of the Supreme ~
in the case of the CherUkees, in antcin,,,o. !,
the regular publication of the reports. A Co.'s.

lginal constitutional suitors in the Supreme CAM.
it furnished the most impasSioned. and q, ~

Cherokee nation, must look 10 the penaltic, ,,
neXed by Congress to cases of trespass us,
them. and ina proper manner ask the Rxecrt,
such remedy, by force, as they find provided (,
the redress of their wrongs"
The National Gazette says
"The Court were divided On the questi,D-
the Chief Justice, and Justices Johnson, McIs
and Baldwin. against Justices Thompson ,ri
Story. 1, is understood that all the Judges. .,
cept one, think that Georgia has acted wrorqhl
ly in extending her laws over the Cherokee eul

the point Of cognzance; and it is strong eyiier,
of the scrupuIocity Of tribunal that has been .
harshIy and unwarrantably taxed with spirit
usurpation."
We publish these facts for general informst,t
but with the earnest wish, that this harr7i,,
subject may no longer be suffered to embitttr 4
feelings of our southern friends, who have <
vcxatiun enough about it already.
