Frtentt? and nrathm?.Your letter of the 17th of February, addressed to the lute Sec* retary of War, has Been brought to the no tice (if this department, sincc the communi cation mmlc to you on the 11th hist, nnd hnving conversed frcclv nnd fully with the President of the United States, 1 tun directed by him to submit the following a* l^c v'cwa which are entertnined, in reference to the subjects which yon liavc submitted tor con sideration. -~ Yon state that "the Legislature of Geor gia, in dcfiunce of the laws of the United Stati-h, nnd the most solemn treaties exit ing," have extended a jurisdiction over voui nation to tuke effect in June 1' .">0. That " your nAtion hud no voice in the formation of the confederacy of the union, and has ever been unshackled with (he lawn of individual Mates, because independant <?f them;" and that consequently this act of Georgia is to lie viewed, " in no other light, than a wan ton usurpation of power, guaranteed to no Stutc, neither by the common law bf the the land, nor by the laws of nature." To nil this, there is a plain and obvious nnswer, deduciahle from the known history ol the country. During the war of the re volution, vour nation was the friend und ally of Great Britain; a power which then claim ed entire sovereignty, within the limits of what constituted the thirteen United States. By the declaration of independence and sub sequently the treaty of 1783, all the rights of sovereignty pertaining to Great Britain, became vested respectively in the original states of this union, including North Caioli na and Georgia, within whose territorial limits, as dedncd nnd known, your na tion was then situated. If, as is the case, j on have been permitted to abide on your lands from thut period to the present, enjoy ing the right of soil and privilege to hunt,'it is not thence to be interred, that this wu? any thing more than n permission growing out of compacts with your nation; nor is it'ii circumstance whence, now to deny to those state*, the exercise of their original sove reignty. ..In the year 1785, three year* sifter,the In dependence of lite states, which compose I this union, had been Acknowledged by Great j llritaln, a treaty, at Hopewell, wax conclud ed with your nation by ilic United States. The c mphattc language it contain* .cannot be mistaken, commencing an follows?41 The commissioners plenipotentiaries of the Unit ed State* in Congress assembled, give peace to hII the Cherokee*, a'id receive them into favor nnd protection of the United States or America." It proceeds then to allot and to (Itfine your limit* and your hunting grounds. Ymi were securrcd, in the privilege of pur suing the game; and fr?nn encroachments by the white*. No riRht however aavea mere possessory one, is v. ,ne provisions of the treaty of Hope well, conceded to your nati. n. The soil, and the use of it, were mi Acted to remain with you, while the sovereignty abided, precisely where it did before, in thoHC states, within whose limits you were situated^ ' Kuhsnjwcyl to thb, your peojile were at enmity with tins United States, and waged a war upon our frontier settlements; a durable peace was not entered into with yon, until I7tfl. At that uerind a good understanding obtained, hostilities tensed, and by the trea ty made and concluded, your nation was plared under the protection of our govern ment, and n guarantee given, favorable to the occupancy ami possesion of your coun try. Hut the United States, a! #ays mindful ofthe authority of the Mate*, even when trea ting.for what was so much desired, peace witll their red brotherx, ffirborc to otter a guarantee adverse to the hovcrelgnty of Genr gia.They could not.do so; they bad not the power. At a more recent period, to wit: In JS02, the State of Georgia, defining her proper limits, ceded to the United State.*, all Iut western territory upo.i a condition which wis accepted, "that the United States shall, at their o?n expense, extinguish for the useof (leorgia as eaily as the name eau lie peaceably obtained on reasonable terms, the Indian title, to all the land* within the State of Georgia." She did not ask the milit.il-) arm of the government to be employed, but in her mihlnes* and forbearance, only, that the soil might lie yielded to her, so toon as it could peaceably be obtained, and on rea sonable term*.

Atneri cnn systr m,"asit hasbeen nick-naroed. The experience of other nations should not be disregarded, nnd the fact* and argument* brought out in the British parliament in the heatof dtbate on the subject oftheduties on silks, will have the more imiuence with us, where they have any application to our own afTuir?, bccnusc they cannot be supposed to have been brought forward for the purpoac of influencing public opinion In this country.

In the debate on the silk trade we may learn something which though not intetided spe cially for otir hearing, will vet be found ap plicable to our condition. We shall, nt nil event*, be pleated by the good atyle of Mr. Huskisvm, who I* n* far inferior to the champion* of the tariff in grandiloquence a* he I* superior to them in the faculty of rea soning.-? IJotton (iaz. [From th? Liverpool Paper ] 11 nine of Cuaitnom, M<>nJ*y, April 1:). Mr, Fylcr brought forward hi* motion for the appointment cf n committee to Inquire into the state of the si'.k trade. The lionora ble gentleman avowed, that the objefct of hi* motion wm to revive the prohibition of for eign silks. Hi* argument wa* comprised In two nsscrtions, i?t. that there I* extreme distress among the ailk weaver* ; 2d. that the opening of,the tnule has been the cause of it, nnd his inference, though kept rather out of sight, wo* meant to be, that a return to prohibition would he a cure for the dis tress. Mr. Kohtnsnn seconded the metion. Mr. Ve*y Fitzgerald (President of the Board of Trade,) made a powerful and con vincing speech against the motion. He nd uiittcd the existence of the distress in the silk trade, hut denied both the cause and the remedy. He dearly proved, that the distress wasnttributahle to other causes than the substituting of pro'ectinn for prohibitim; that the grant ot' n committee would first |disturb, then suspend the manufacturer, nnd finally nnd infallibly, disappoint him : that prohibition must extend and perpetuate the contraband trade r.that, five year* before, the change of the law ftavc an import of the raw material to the extent of tell millions , nod,th<* five ? uhsequcut years, gave eighteen millions ; and that, if the present consump tion can be maintained no otherwise than by low prices, a rise of price, produced by mo nopoly,mint of course diminish the consump tion. The right honorable gentleman as cribed the principal portion of the existing distress to the cagernc * nnd confidence of j immense capital, launching into inordinnte I speculation, forcing over production, nnd lending to a paralysis 'of the market. He | stated at the same time, the intentions of govemment, which were to reduce the du | ties on liuronean imported manufactured silk from thirty per cent, ndvalorem to twenty five per cent. ; nnd on linst Indian from thirty per cent to twenty per cent. He stated also, that the duty on orgunzine would I be rcduccd to 3*. fid. ; that on tram 2s.*and on singles to J*. Gil. The right honorable tpntlcman concluded a most elaborate speech ii the following tcfrms: 11 For myself, and for my view* of this question, I should not object to Investigation, convinced as I am ilint cvidcucc would establish the state ments 1 have made .to the house. Hut 1 object to It as a desperate attempt to return to n ruinous prohibition." Mr. Il?i?kii*(>n ami the lrc? lrml? tjr-tcm. On Moiufay night, during the debate on the state of the silk trade, Mr. Htukisson addressed the house ol commons in defence of the principlcsof commercial policy which he lind luid the honor of bringing before flic housfc and the country. We cannot in Jus tice to our right honorable representative, withhold from our reader# the following triumphant dcfcucc of his character and his ptinciplts : ??One word," said the right honorable gentleman, ?? in relation to the position in which I stand individually towards the clutr.gcs that have been mi>de within the last few years in our commercial policy.? My honorable ftiend, (Mr. Baring,) the member for Callington, has Alluded to the vituperation, to the endless obloquy, to the calumny that has been heaped upon me, as the or .gun of the'government by which these change* were effected. I assure my hono rable friend, t1?.?t when I felt it to he my I duty to recommend the alterations that have hem beneficially made in tin commercial and navigation laws of the country, I clear ly foresaw all the obloquy ami vituperation that Ii.ivc been heaped on mc. I knew that individuals and parties would visit on me the sufferings brought about by their own indiscretion, or by other cause* over which I could have no control. Hut while I clear ly foresaw all this, I did not the lesaclcorlv see, nor the less forcibly feel, that I owed ft to myself, as a member of this house, and as a minister of the crown; to rccommcnd a particular line of policy, however distasteful that policy might be to interested individu al*, and howavtr likely it might be to give rise 'o misrepresentation of my motives nnd objects, when my conscicncc told me that it was most certain to promote the general welfare of my country. (Hear ! hear I) I felt that no man Was' fitted to preside over the commercial interests of a great country, who was not ready to sacrifice personal feci logs to the public benefit, (hear I) that no tns?n s't?uld be a British minister who was not above nil such individual consideration. (Hnar !) HavingfelttbU Icalmlyand rttnd IJy persevered In what my cootclcncc told me wm my nut v. Nj" urn I without my reward; for when I ft?n told ot the disadvantage* which Individ unU have experienced ftnm the change* which I wnt rn instrument In Introducing into our commercial system, I any in reply* that those change* have tended, more than oil other events or measures, to imprest the country and toreinn state* with ju?t notiot.* nf thc'vnlue of :ut unrealritted commercial intercourse, nnd with n conviction of the mischievous nbsurdity of commercial jcalcu aie? and attempts nt commercial monopoly. The present wine system of commercial pol icy has inculcated an Important doctrine lit the pacific relations of one country to Kn ottier?fn showing that one state ia not en richcd l-y the impoverishment of another, but that mutuid enterchamcc of their respec tive produce is the only sure basis of-mutunl prosperity, By this It has tended, nnd will dully lend, more to prevent contests for ob jects of commercial selfishness?to avoid a rccurrenev of thoae naval wnrs which. In the end, injure the m.snufactuting greatness of all the parties in it. It has given rise to just notions of commercial intercourse with colonics, by putting an end to all thoae petty rivalries in v.-liich colonies hitherto had h? vol\fd the mother countries. Was this mere assertion ? Let the extraordinary fnct in the history of the country, that for fifteen years we have enjoyyd a commercial pearu with the world ; that for the first time du ring so many years, parliament has not been called upon bv the crown to protect with u naval nnd military force some colonial cortl mcrcial right, or to resist some commit ciul outrage; answer the question. (Hear, hear.) Ily the rciicimI principles of our present lib eral system ?f commercial policy, wc have disarmed ot?,er countries of their former usual re sou i ce of excluding our manufac tures, by convincing them that they ntuM, more than ourselves, suffer by a retaliation | of their conduct. I will ro farther, an?l sny, ;that if we hud not alteretl our prohibitive laws, we i>hr>u!d long since have been cnga Red in a mischievous war with some state ke ourselves, equally blind to our own inte rests. The pre??yU repudiated free trade system then, not only tends to allay irrita tion, and preserve peace to the colonies,but to nrevent war with other nations. By acting on the principles free trade, I I understand thut we ought to lessen or re i more i very rctnicthn on our eotnmrrcr that fentfa unnccmnarilu i? crarn/i the enrrffiea jf individual enU r'/irhr, ioiihonl henrjitting the revenue Those principles I have long ndvocAtrd, and will continue to uphold; for.I nm satisfied l>y experience, that gradual re laxation ??f oor restrictive system lias been invariably followed l>v gradual improvement, in our manufactures, in our commerce, ni.d in our rev euuCi?(Hear, hear!) In those priciples I trust n?v fi^ht h morabln friend (Mr. V. Fitsger.dd) w;ill persevere, despite of clamour, mWreprejiciitatinn, and ublo quy. He may count on.iny eordial assistance, for I will never reuse to advocnte the prin ciples of the change* in our commercial sys tem, of w hich I have been the official in strument, so long nt I continue to be suppor ted as 1 have been, by the general sense of Parliament and tlit- Country. 80 long as I uphold those principles I nm satisfied, so long shall) he ent iling the country to sup port its burdens, and to advance In commer cial and manufacturing prosperity 1 feel proud in having had a shnrc in establishing a system of commerciaidealing, which 1 nm convinced is the most advantageous to the general interest of the country that could have bet n :>d?pttd. By it the energies of the empire at large will be cultivated, its indus try and capital most advuntngcntisly appli ed, and its resources placed in the most fa vourable condition for meeting the exigen cies of those wars to'whiehall great com mercial nations are exposed, andfor which they shouldnever be unprepared." In Mr. Charles Grant** speech on Tue?* day evening, there werctwoorthrccparticu lata i.dvcrtcd to, which are woithv of seririus consideration.?The Right lion. Gentleman ci.forced the argument of Mr. Vessey Fiu gerald, by stating that so far from the mea sures of j|823aud 1H24 having checked the progress of tlte silk trade, the import of the raw inlterial and of thrown silk together had swelled in the very fir?t quarter of the diminished duties, from 532,0091b to 1,0H5# 0001b; or had been rather more than dou bled! Mr. Grant asserted, that so far from the arti\ ity of the trad?- having been discouraged the ?nme d iss of men?vis. the silk dealer* ?who had been deafening the country with their clamour against thu removal of the prohibitory laws, hah plunged with such ea gcrncH into speculations fur a more extend* d manufacture in consequence of that remo val, as to outstrain the demands however large, of the increased consumption, and to invite the industry of thousands of throw sters and silk-weavers, whom they could not continue to employ nt reasonable wages. This, we ought torememler, is not tit* first time that the weavers have brcn se verely distressed.?During Ifclti and 181/ the prohibitory laws (ami, no tlMibt, the smugglers) were in full vigour, and did they preserve the weaver fiom suffering.' 80 Sir from it, that durisg thn?c years abo\c 40,0001 was subscribed to relieve the wen vers of Snltnlficlds only.
