NEW ECHOTA, AUGUST 14th 1830

The publication of the Phoenix was suspended for the last week, by order of the authorities of the Nation, for the purpose of printing in pamphlet form the opinion of Mr. Wirt on the right of the State of Georgia to extend her laws over the Cherokee people.

________

If any of our readers should think that the opinion of Mr. Wirt occupies too large a portion of the present number, we hope they will change their opinion on a patient perusal of the article. It will be found to be a very able and lucid discussion of the interesting subject on which it treats.

________

The Cherokees have been forcibly prevented from digging gold in their own country by the United States' troops in pursuance of the order from the War Department which has been mentioned before. Particulars will hereafter be given.

________

The Communication of 'A Choctaw' and an interesting document forwarded from the Choctaw Nation are necessarily deferred.
