Frankfort, January 14. HIGHLY IMPORTANT. The following documents were re ceived by the last MilledgeviHe Journal. And they show the important fact, that an issue has at length been made between the Judiciary of the United States, and the state of Georgia It must have a termination; and either the national authority, or the state authority, involved in the premises, must succumb. The Chief Justice of the United States has called on the state of Georgia to show by what authority she has sentenced to death an individual not subject to her laws. This Georgia refuses to do,, and declares, that she will resist the mandate by all the means in her power. But we cannot make the case plainer than , it already stands in the documents themselves. We deem its occurrence one of the morst important events in the history of our country the most important perhaps, since the adoption of the national consUtution.-jfenfucA:rN. Prom the MilledgeviHe Georgia Journal. House or Representatives. Wednesday, Dec. 22. ) The following communication was received from the Governor, which, after being read, with the accompanying document, was referred, on motion of Mr. Haynes, to a Select committee, composed of Messrs. Haynes, Beall of Twiggs, Howard- of Baldwin, McDonald and Scholey. Executive Department, )' December 22, 1830. I submit to the Legislature, for its consideration, the copy of a communication received this day purporting to be signed by the Chief Justice of the United States, and to be a citation of the state of Georgia to- appear before the bupreme Court, on the second Monday in January next, to .answer to that tribunal for having caused a person who had committed murder within the limits of the State, to- be tried and convicted therefor. The object of this mandate is to control the state in the exercise of its ordinary jurisdiction, which in criminal cases, has been vested by the constitu tion exclusively in its Superior Courts So far as concerns the exercise of the power which belongs to the executive Department, orders received from the Supreme Court, for the purpose of staying, or in any manner interfering' with the decisions of the Courts of the state, in the exercise of their Constitutional Jurisdiction, will be disregarded; and any attempt to enforce such orders will be resisted with whatever force the laws may have placed at my command. H the judicial powers thus attempted to be exercised by the Courts of the United States, is submitted' to, or sustained, it must eventuate in the utter annihilation of the State Governments, or in other consequences not less fatal to the peace and prosperity of our present highly favored country.

Georgia, through her Chief Magistrate,-

And whereas, the right to punish crimes against the peace and good order of Ibis State, in accordance with the existing laws of this state, is an orU ginal and a necessary part of sovereignty which the State of Georgia has never parted with Be it tkerefure resolved, by the, Senate, and House of representatives, Szc. That they view with feelings of deep regret, the interference by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in the administration of the criminal laws of this state, and that such an interference i& a flagrant violation of her right. Resolved further, That his excellency the Governor be, and he and every other oflicer of this state, is hereby re quested and enjoined to disregard any and every mandate and process that has been or shall be served upon him or them', purporting to proceed from the Chief Justice or any associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, for the purpose of arresting the execution of any of the criminal Saws of this State. And be it jurther Resolved, That his excellency, the Governor be, and he is hereby authorized and required, with all the force and means placed at his command, by the constitution and Taws of this state, to resist and repel any and every invasion from whatever quarter, upon the administration of the criminal laws of this State.

Supreme Court. On Wednesday last, the Governor nominated to the Senate for the office of supreme Judge, Hon. fsaac Blackford, Hon. Steven C. Stevens,, and Hon. John T. M'Kinney. On the afternoon of the same day the Senaterwith closed door?, took up the nominations, and that of J udge Black, ford was unanimously confirmed. On the nomination of CoL Stevens, the vote stood ayes Q noes 13. On the nomination of Gen. M'Kinney, ayes S noes 15i No other nomination has yet been made, and it is quite uncertain who may fill the two vacant seats. No charges existed against the old mem bers of the court, and a strong sympathy in their favour may be truly said to have produced the rejection of the nominations of Messrs. Stevens and M'Kinney. We would not be surprised to see the vote on the nominations of the two latter gentlemen reconsidered, and confirmed. Ihd. Democrat) Jan. 5 EIGHTH OF JANUARY.

Fellow citizens: this number is to advise you of the love our General Assembly bears to the constitu ion of Indiana.

Dunn, for holding two lucrative office, (probate judge and marshal of the town ofLawrenceburgh.)j T beg leave further to present to your honorable body James Dill for impeachment, for usurpation in office. At our last annual election James Dill was a candidate, for the third time,- for clerk of the Dearborn circuit court, and ob tained a majority of voters over Samuel Morrison, who was olso a candidate, and qualified a the law directs and constitutionally eligible to that office. Notwithstanding Mr. Dill's ineligibility to hold the office, (report say?,) he is commissioned clerk of the Dearborn circuit court for the third term of seven years by election, in violation of Mr. Morrison's constitutional right to that office. I beg leave to present to your honor able body James Dill for giving a challenge to Amos Lane, to fight in single combat with a deadly weapon, 6ince the first day of January eighteen hun dred and nineteen.

Pollock, Representative from Dearborn county. MR. POLLOCK'S LETTER. Indianapolis, Janjv 8th, 183!. Sir Some few weeks past, I received a letter from you, espiessive of a disapprobation of an usage supported by some of cur oflF.ce holders in Itearborn county. Those sentiments of vours agreeable to order, were laid before the house of representatives, and referred to the judiciary committee. The rule of the house, as adopted by resolution at the commencement of the session, made me a member of this committee during the time of acting on said petition, 4 I therefore had an opportunity ol hearing the arguments advanced against the prajer of the petitioner; which were, that articles of imneaenmeni cannoi consumuonauy lie lor an I usurpation in oihee, anu that a violation only of thoec trusts, placed in the b.nd of office'

fore th- sena'e of the state of Indiana: there fore the committee reported inexpedient to legislate upon the subject. Wishing-, however, to hear an expression of opinion, at lea9t in a report of the judiciary committee, 1 mored the adoption of the following resolution, which, after much debate, was carried by a considerable majority of the house. Resolved, That the judiciary committee be requested ts specify the offices which may be held by any one man, according' to the intention of the 13th section of the 11th article of the constitution, wherein it is said that ltno person shall hold more than one lucrative office at the same time' I have this moment understood that thejudiciary committee will report inexpedient to this resolution on Monday next. Last Thursday's mail brought a second petition from you, of a similar nature to the one first sent, which, on motion of Mr, Crume of Fayette, was laid upon the table, owing to the former legislation on the same subject. "Jours with respect, JAMES T. POLLOCK.Mr. Jonathan Woodbury. Fellow citizen?, we have reason to rejoice in the firm and independent support of the constitutional rights of the people, by our worthy representative Mr. Pollock; may he be long continued in that station as a watchman and legislator of this state. We are also proud to add the names of Armstrong, M'Nary, &c. a9 on the 6ide of the people. Examiner. FIFTH CENSUS. JVfir. Editor A curiosity, which prevails, not only in our own country, but in all Europe, to know (not to guess,) the population of the United States, has led me to pay every attention to the returns already published. Loud complaints are made, I discover, in some parts of the u. btates,of the careless manner in which the census has been taken, in consequence of the appointment of incompetent persons. The inhabitants of Schenectady county New-York, have petitioned Congress, to have the census taken over again. In the city of New-York and in Cincinnati, Ohio, the papers long-after the 1st of December 1329 say full returns have not been made. T have also heard complaints from several counties in our own state. In Switzerland county, three families, resi ding within sight of each other, (having 22 souls,) have been neglected.- If, it shall be found, on further inquiry, that an imperfect enumeration has been made, should not measures be taken to have the census taken over againr at least in those counties where the returns are imperfect? Hickory. TREASURY REPORT. The annual Treasury Report was submitted'to1 Congress4on Thursday. From an abstract in the National Intelligence we collect the following, as its principal statements: The receipts of 1823 were nearly twenty five millions; above twenty-two millions and a half from the customs, and one million and a half from sales of public lands For the three first quarters oflSSO, the receipts were above twenty-four millions; seventeen millions from the customs, and twelve hundred thousand from sales of lands. The receipts for the fourth quarter are estimated at five millions. The expenditures of 1329 were twenty-five millions. Those of the three first quarters of lS30were something more than twenty millions, and those of the 4lh quarter are estimated at above four; making altogether about twentyfive millions. The amount of public debt paid in 1329 was above twelve millions; that paid and to be paid, in 1330, is above eleven millions. The total amount of of the public debt on the first of January, 1830; was forty-eight millions five hundred and six dollars and fifty cent?, consisting of six millions four hundred and forty thousand five hundred and fifty sis dollars and seventeen cents of six per cent, stocks; twelve millions se ven hundred and ninety two-thousand dollars and twenty cents of five per cent, stocks, including the seven millions held by Government in the slock of the Bnk of the United States; fifteen millions nine hundred and ninety-four thousand and sixty four dollars and eleven cents of four and a half per cent, stocks j thirteen millions two hundred and ninety SIX thousand two hundred and forty I

nine dollars and forty five cents of three f European states. As long as those repercent, stocks; the balance consists of j laiions shall be founded on existing upwards of thirty-two thousand dollars ! treaties, and on the firm determination

of small items. The existing debt, on the first of next ;

January, will be about thirty-nine mil-; as the territorial possessions, Europe t lie. ...!... . I

lions; nearly one half redeemable at the pleasure of the Government, and the remainder at different periods, down to ihe commencement of 1335. The import?, for the year ending with the 30th of last September, were ' sixty eight millions and a half: and the exports something lessUhan seventy four millions. Of the exports, Qfiy nine millions four Hundred thousand dollars were domestic produce. The duty on imports and tonnage is estimated at twenty millions and a half for the first three quarters of 1 830, and The families referred to. jre those of JonaI than ShufT.

at abore five million and u half for tba

fourth. A reduction of about eleven hundred thousand dollars is estimated in the duties on colFee, cocoaysalt, and molasses securing in 1331; and of seventy fiva thousand dollars by the repeal of tonnage duties from the first of next April; with sonre diminution from the reduction of duties on tea, coffee Sz. salt, on the first of January, 1030 The increased consumption of the country,the opening, of the West India trade, &c. noticed as likely to conteract in some measure the effect of these circumstances; and increase is lookedfor in the proceeds of public lands. The receipts of 1831 are estimated at twenty-three millions three hundred and forty thousand dollars, and the expenditures at twenty-three millions two hundred ami twenty-eight thousand. The balance in the treasury on the 1st of January next, is estimated at four millions eight hundred thousand. The report suggests- the expediency of considering how far "the navigating interests employed in foreign comLmerce, and particularly in the carrying trade, may without injury to others bo relieved from its present depression, which is stated to be serious. A number ol'important modifications in the impost system, are recommended, in contemplation of one "approaching crisis in the fiscal policy of the United States." The following remark h quoted the most material allusion to the Tariff: "Should it be contemplated by Congress to make any further reduction of the revenues, preparatory to the period of the final extinguishment of the public debt, it is respectfully suggested, that in order to avoid impairing the necessary means for the ordinary expenditures of the Government or encroaching upon the sinking fund, it will be proper that such reduction should talre effect at a period sufficiently remote fcr the payment of the entire debt as the reduction made at the last session will barely leave sufficient revenue for those objects during the ensuing four years." LATE FOREIGN X7EOT& From the Gazette de France. Berlin A'uv. 17. (Private Correspondence.) We are here in a state of apprehension with respect to war. Ah the military men have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to nvirch upon' the first notice; and this order has not been recalled. The full number of surgeons- have , been added to all the regiments, and their appointment will extend to three years instead of one. These measures are attributed to the movement of the Russian army, and the extensive preparations making by the Government of Russia. It is said that Marshal Soult has strange hours for transacting business, and; we have no doubt his habit mu&i prove rather annoying to place hunters. The Marshal makes appointments for four o'clock in the morning with those who request to have audiences, A letter received from St. Peters"burgh by a respectable commercial house, states that the cholera Morbus at Moscow, far from diminishing, is rapidly on the increase. Out of 200 who are attacked daily with this complaint, 100 die in the course of twentyfour hours. The following is the letter of the Emperor of Russia to the King of France: "1 have received from the hands cf General Athalin the statement of which he was the bearer, of the events forever to be deplored, which placed your Majesty in a cruel alternative. Your Majesty adopted the only resolution which appeared calculated to preserve France from greater calamities; 1 shall say nothing of the motives which guided you on that occasion; but I offer up my ardent prayers to Divine Providence to bless the designs of your Majesty,and your etiorts lor the well-being of the French people. "In concert with my allies, 1 receive with satisfaction the desire expressed by your Majesty to maintain the relations of neace ind frirndshin with all to maintain the rights and obligations solemnly recognized by them, as well will sec in you a guarantee of the peace which is so necessary even for the repose of France. Invited, conjointly with my allies, to continue with France under her new Government, those conservative relations, I shall zealously, on my part, employ all the cares which they require, and I shall unceasingly manifest the sentiments of sincerity which it c'tves nic pleasure to exnres3 towards your Majesty, in return for those which your Majesty has expressed towards me. 1 beg your Majesty to receive."
