In respect to such, the subjoined instruction from the General Post-Of fice will be strictly adhered to :— ■ Experience has proved how inattentive many people are to the payment of such small debts as arise from trusting the postages of newspapers; you are therefore not to give credit. To save in future any trouble or incon venience, it will be proper for you to require the subscribers who receive papers through your office, at the commencement of every quarter, to pay the amount of one quarter’s subscription in advance, and without such pay ment in advance, not to deliver them any news papers, even though they tender you the mo ney for them singly.” 3tl9 DRAWING On the 21st day of February, 1827.

The following Message from the Pre sident of the United States was yesterday communicated to both Houses of Con gress : To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United IStaies • I submit to iheconsiileraiion of C»>ngres3 a Letter from the Agentof the U. S. with ihe Creek Indians who invoke the pro tection of the (iovernment of the United Stales in defeiite of the rights and terri tory secured to that nation by the Treaty concluded at Washington, and ratified on the part of the United States, on the 22d of April last. The complaint set forth in this letter, that surveyors from Georgia have been eniploVfd in surveying lands within the Indian Territory as secuied by thatTrea^ ty, is authenticated by information inoffi- cially received from other quarters, and there is reason to lielieve that one or more of tiie surveyors liave been arrested in their progress by the Indians. Their rorboarance and reliance upon the good faith of the United Slates, will, it is hop ed, avert sccnes of violence and blood, which there is otherwise too much causo 10 apjiri hend will result from these pro* ceediiigs.

By the firs% it is declared, to be lawful for the milita ry force of the United States to appre hend every person found in the Indian country, over and beyond the boundary line between the United States and tho Indian tribes, in violation of any of the provisions or regulations of the act, and immediately to convey them in the near est anl safe route to the civi! authority of the United Slates, in some one of the three next adjoining Slates, or Districts, to be proceeded agaii'st in due course of law. liy the second, it is directed, that if any person charged with a violation of any of the provisions or regulations of the act, shall be founh within any of tho United Slates, or either oftiieir territo rial disuicis, such oflender may be there pprehended, and brought to trial in tho same manner as if such crime or off» nce had been committed ivithin such States 6tl9—pr. ad\ C.

The second makes the violator of the law amenal)le only after his offence has been consummated, ar.d when he has returned within the civil jurisdiction of the Union. This process, in the first instance, is merely of a civil character, but may, in like manner, be enforced, by calling in, if necessary, the aid of the niilituty force.
