been embarrassed by the frequent de
mands for property taken from the citi
zens of the United States, by war parties
and other thoughtless men of 'their several
bands, (both before and since their war
with the Cherokees) and as the exertions
of their chiefs have Been ineffectual in re
covering and delivering such property,
conformably with the condition of the
ninth article of a treaty entered into with
the U. States, at Fort Clark, the 10th Nov.
1803, and as the' deductions from their
annuities, in conformity to the said article,'
would deprive them of any for several
years, and being destitute of funds to. do
that justice to the citizens of the United
States, which is calculatetl to promote
a friendly intercourse,' they have agreed
and do hereby agree,-to 'cede to the Uni
ted States, and forever quit 'claim to the

to the said Osage boundary line, at a
point twenty leagues north from the Ar
kansaw river,; and, 'with that line, to the
place of beginning. "
Art. 2. The United States, on their

cession, agree, in addition to the amount,
which the Osage do now receive in money
and goods, to pay their own citizens, the
full value of uch property as they can le
gally prove io have been stolen,, or de
stroyed by trie said Osage since the year

From the Raleigh Register.
JUDGE SEAWELL'S RESIGNATION,
Raleigh) ISth February, 1819.
Sir - j , ...:7-7.
Late last night I recived a note from
the Secretary of State, informing ' that
Judge Daniel having rode the Eden ton or
First Circuit last fall and appointed io the
same this spring; the Governor directs "
that I should '4 take that circuit this spriug,
and Judge Daniel this." . The Secretary
adds, u ihat the Governor regrets being
compelled to interpose." - ; j
, I shall not, sir, attempt an examination
of the propriety of this interposition fur
ther than it becomes necesaary for mem
justification of the course I have resolved
to' Jprsue, at this late period : But anxious
that my conduct should at all times be re
gulated" by proper motives, and that it
should be viewed by the public in its pro
per light ( I feel compelled on this occa
sion to lay before them a 'short, detail of
circumstances relating to this business.
and which I hope escaped your Lxctl
lency when you so reluctantly interposed :
And, if in the discharge of this duty, it
shall becomeriecessary to invite your at
tention to any thing unpleasant, you will
bear in mind that you have made it so! ;
and nothing would be more mistaken,
than a suspicion that I have been influenc
ed in the least from any other considera
tion, than barely setting up a claim to a
common j portion of justice4 with the other.
members otthe Bench discarding every
thing like pretensions to exclusive privil
ege or personal accommodation, at the
expense of public justice or individual
convenience. It will be recollected by
you, that the Western or Mountain Cir
cuit was assigned to me last Fall, which
required an absence from the first of Sep
tember till nearly the first of December.
A circuit more laborious in every respect
; than any other in the State, both as re-
j gards distance and the business of the
I Courts- one which; beyond the Blue
j Ridge, stretches from the Virginia Line
; to the' Cherokee Nation. That; during
f the last General Assembly, four ne w mem
j bers were appointed to the Bench ; and
that three of these Gentlemen reside with-
1
111 sixty miles ui jJiaic. iticti uy inc
allotment of circuits published, and in
r ! .. TL. t-. .U
which I had no part Mr. Paxton, on his
first coming on the: Bench, is assigned to
the circuit which he practiced extensively
in nine of the counties composing it, and
is nevertheless permitted by your Excel
lency to ride it, .notwithstanding your
power to alter the arrangements, where
in your opinion l the public interest shall
require it : and it will also be recollected
bv vour Excellenceyl that Judie; Daniel,
who is inade, -or rather authorised by your
Excellency in irtue of this power, to
ride the circuit assigned to me, has never
yet rode the western riding. Thus it
must be apparent, that when public con
siderations required you to break in upon
the allotment, the impropriety, attached
to Mr. Paxton's riding his own circuit e
scaped you, or your " reluctance" to in
terpose, prevented you' from proceeding
further, than as related to Mr. Daniel.
Again.-It only required a few hours
more to notify Judge's living in 1 jflillsbo
rough and I ayetteville, than these who
might resident this place, of any altera
tion made in the circuits ; and indeed had
your Excellency, been at the seat of Gov
ernment when they allotment arrived for
publication, which was . before February,
there, was then, as the Legislature con
templated, ample lime for notification in
any part of the State. The consequence
is, that I who rode the extreme Western
circuit in the Fall, am required by your
Excellency in the 'Spring, to ride , the ex
treme Eastern circuit, whilst, one Gentle
man, to the manifest hindrance of Public
Justice, and three others.' within conven
ient -distances, all of whom; as yet, have
performed no duties, are permitted to
ride convenient circuits.,
The result would there re seem asif
the alteration made by your Excellency,
was either with a veiw o(personal accoili
modation to the Gentleman appointed tq
ride it ; or for the purpose of ascertaining
to what extent of inconvenience. & priva
tion I would submit, for the sake of retain
ing an office. No one more sincerely 1 &
grets the inconvenience, which the coun
ties must feel, than I do, from a tempora
ry suspension of the.Courts of Justice ; but
as my course has been forced upon me,
my consolation Is, that I am not responsi
ble for the consequences your Excellen
cy will therefore accept this as my resigiia
tion of the office of one of the Judges of
the Superior Court3 ofLawand Courts of
Equity of this state ; and I bold my comi
mission ready to be- surrendered when I
shall have the pleasure of seeing your Ex
cellency at tiie Seat or Oov eminent.

Triad the pleasure of writing you by the
Hornet f from Elsi neur. We proceecl
ed thence to Conenhatren: and remained
till Mr. Campbell finished his biiisness
with the court of Denmark, the principal
part of which was this : The King had ask-1
ed of our government, the reason for not
maintaining a W mister at his court, which ;
it seems, has . been deemed inexpeaier.t,
on no other ground than that the interr
course between the two countries was con
sidered too ummpoitant to require it. ft
wes howeverl, deemi'd expedient to make
this explanajion in as respectful a manner
as was convenient ; for which reason, Air.
Campbell wps directed to do it on his way
to Petersburg. J I
He was graciously received b7 the
King and Mr Rosenciantz, j the prime
minister, and treated in a manner. I: sus
pect, rather flattering fo his j feelings.
Our three days detention hers gave me a
favorable opportunity to see this capital ; v
bnt as if contains very! few objects of in-,
terest, a paitjcular f description could
hardly be acceptable. I can, however,
say,.thatits magnitude and splendor a e
abont suitable for the capital of Denmark.'
1 ne principal objects ot curiosity are
two or three very: elegant equestrian stat-y
ues in :bronze, an observatory about 1VO
teet high, connectep with a church, to the
top of which leads a winding passage, so
large and firmly Tbiiilt that a horse arid
gighave been driven tothesummit & bark
with safety. The Kingrs palace, unlike
that of many other monarchs, is reasonably1.
splendid; hisgardensrathertooexpensive; 1
& ithere be any thing very etravagant, it
is that of keeping in the city a hii;i i d 1
of the best horses that can be pi ecu r e l in i
the kingdom, merely to amuse hi;'s !f t
wtth their prancing. Tbe Kins is how- (

mention, that a captain n i he army is aj- 1
lowed only 25 pounds sterling1 per arm. for

We anchored at Crorstadt a week sincr,
