A gentleman from Georgia has favored us with an extract from the King of Spain's proclamation for settling his new territory on the Mississippi and Masure, which is as follows:

"He gives to each family, consisting of four children, four hundred acres of land, four cows and a bull, four ewes and a ram, four sows and a boar, one mare with harness complete, a stud horse for every ten mares in the settlement, 24 hens and two cocks, a net or seine with a boat for fishing, to every ten families, with a proviso, that if any should prove idle or neglect agriculture, this part of the fishing devolves to the other nine industrious, they are also to have a lot in town, with 200 choice plants and the same number of plantation-plants, which are to be drawn for by lots; they are to be exempt from all duty for 10 years, as well minerals as lead; they are to be supplied with all kinds of farming utensils, with provisions for one year from their arrival, with their expenses paid by the King from their respective abodes to their appointed destination, with liberty of conscience and their choosing their own clergy, and to swear never to lift arms against the interest of the crown of Spain, but privileged to enact their own laws for their own government."
