From Georgia—interesting

MILLEDGEVILLE, March 27.—We have had several reports respecting the cession of the Floridas to Great Britain. The following relating thereto is derived from a very respectable source, and we have little doubt of its correctness. A cession of the Floridas was actually made to Great-Britain by the King of Spain, Ferdinand VII, but the Cortes refused their assent to the grant, and directed the Captain General of the Havana not to deliver over the provinces, who had determined to abide by their instructions. This we understand to be the substance of information given by Mr. Arredondo, the representative of East Florida in the Spanish Cortes.—Geo. Journal.

A General Order, unsealed, issued by Admiral Cochrane, and directed to Major Nicholls, commanding the British troops at Appalachicola bay, informing that officer of the treaty of peace, was forwarded to the executive of this State, last week, to expedite its conveyance to the British officer. The order is dated off St. Mary's, Geo. where Adm. Cochrane, of course had arrived.

Accompanying the despatch from Cochrane there was a letter from Adm. Cockburn addressed to the Indian Chiefs, advising them to desist from further hostility against the United States, and stating expressly that the Creek Indians, as the allies of Great-Britain, were provided for by the treaty; that they were to be reinstated in all the possessions and privileges they enjoyed prior to the late war, and that the British government would see the articles of the treaty in their favor strictly fulfilled.

Our government, however, do not consider the Creeks included in the treaty, (as they certainly are not) and Congress, just before the end of the session, passed a law appropriating money to defray the expense of marking the lines of the territory ceded to us by the Creeks, and directing also under what regulations the lands shall be offered for sale.—ib.
