THUttSDAY, DECEMBER 15,1814.

\ Various have beea the speculations,
both in England and in this country, as to
the state of the Negotiations at Ghent, and
there proba Je result. The last dispatches
from our Ministers furnish the only infor
mation on the subject which can be confi
dently relied on— these, as recently laid be
fore Congress by the President, we this day
present to our readers their importance,
entitled them to a preference »f all other
matter prepared for this day’s publication,
and from them our readers will judge for
themselves, as to our present political pros
pects. From the whole of the documents
we should not think it irrational to con
clude, that a treaty would be agreed upon by
the Ministers, before their final departure
from Ghent.
Citizen Duke Talleyrand, seems
rather to have out generalled the diplomatic
pacificators of Europe, and so far to have
had his own purposes answered, as to be
prepared for whatever may result from the
grand Congress at Vienna. It is pretty ev
ident that the tranquility of Europe is by
no means permanently established—but by
the peace of Paris, and the restoration of j
Louis 18th, France has recovered about j
two hundred thousand troops, who had been j
taken by her enemies, about fifty thousand |
of whom have beeu restored by England— j
with these troops France may be prepared j
to back pretty powerfully, the memorial
which Talleyrand Perigord, has prepared
for, or presented to, the assembled mon
arehs at Vienna.

Copy of a letter from Major General Jack
son to Gov■ Early , dated Head-Quarters,
7th Millitary District, near Fort Mimms,
November 16, 181-4.
Before this reaches you, information will
have been received of my visit to Pensacola.
It was occasioned by the unprecedented j
conduct of the Governor of Pensacola, in
harboring, aiding, and countenancing the
British and their red allies. I entered it
sword in band, with about 3000 brave fol
lowers, in the face of the Spanish batteries,
and a British lleet of seven sail, anchored
abreast opposite the town. The English,
by intrigue and base falsehood, induced the
Spaniards to abandon the works command
ing the harbor, entered them and blew
them up ; otherwise they would have fallen
a sacrifice to their own plans. When this
took place, the fleet being at liberty to go
out, did so; and 1 evacuated the town
leaving the Spaniards favorably impressed
as to our intrepidity and magnanimity, and
disgusted with their British friends. The !
hostile Indians fled across the Bay at our
approach ; and have no doubt, lost all con
fidence in the assurances they have receiv
ed of British protection. They have re
tired, it. is believed, towards Appalachicola
in great alarm. A sudden and energetic
stroke now made, whilst they are thus
panic struck, will effectually destroy all
British influence with the southern Indians.
The Seminoles , however, it appears from
information given by Col. -Hawkins, are
preparing to assume an hostile attitude.
When they hear of the shameful manner
in which the Bed sticks were deserted by
their allies, they will wish to retract.
But they must be chastised. I have there
fore instructed Major General M’lntosli
to detach sueh a number from his com
mand, as will, added to the troops fur
nished by yonr Excellency to Col. Hawkins,
and the Colonel’s Indians, destroy them,
their provisions and villages.—Should any
•scape, they must then inevitably starve.
1 have the honor to be, &c.
ANDREW JACKSON,
Maj. Gen. commanding.
Orders have been issued by General
M’lnlosh for building forthwith a number of
boats on the Chatahoche to transport down
that riv#r the detachment destined against
the Seminoles Indians. After the subjuga
tion of these savages, the movements of our
troops w e should suppose would be governed
by ulterior events. Georgia Journal.

ARRIVAL OF THE CHAUNCEY.
Very Late and Highly important News
FROM EUROPE.
Last evening arrived at this port, the
Cartel schooner Chauucey, captain, De
peyster, in the very short passage of 23
days from Ostend, which place she left on
the evening of the Ist of November, with
Dispatches from our Ministers at Ghent.
Some of the Passengers in the Chauneey,
inform, that intelligence had reached Os
teud, of the meeting of the Greqt European
Congress at Vienna, and report of its hav
ing terminated in a rupture be ween France
and England—that an army of 80,000 men
to be put under the command of Lord
Wellington, had been ordered to Belgium ;
and that ihe popular vou e ; in France, was,
“A WAR WITH ENGLA OR A NEW REVOLU
TION.”
The passengers further state, that, it
was hoped a/fid expected, that a Peace
would be fajcalu&ted between America and
England, ,Jn consequence of an expected
ru ?tur.; t : J tW een some ts the principal Eu
'wers. v
, Ud&ff readers will iperceive, that the
Intelligence is Jbrbal, anu that our
/ no mention of a rupture in
lL>ss at Vienna, wbiuh assembled
The cartel ship Neptune had not sailed,
but was ordered to proceed from Antwerp
to Brest.
The news of the capture of Washington,
by the British ; their defeat at Baltimore,
and loss of their Major-General Ross, and
the capture of their fleet on Lake Champ
lian and defeat of their army at Platts
burgh, reached. London about the 17th of
October, and all about the same time.' -
Their defeat on Champlain, at Plattsburgh
and Baltimore were terrible dampers to the -
Londoners. j
Lord Hill remained in England, hut it
was reported had received orders to em
bark for the continent.
“ Sweden has peremptorily refused to
give up Swedish Pomerania, until she is
indemnified for the - expences of the war
against Norway, which the Kiug of Den
mark has not been able to etfect agreeably
to the treaty of Kiel.”
“ Intelligence reached Ghent on the
21st Oct. from Vienna of the 9th, that the
Grand Duke Constantine of Russia might
be daily expected at Ghent.”
Ihe Russian fleet of men of war had
arrived in the Baltic, from England.
The London State man. of the 15th Oct.
states, that on the day the news of the cap
ture ol Washington reached Paris, Lord
Wellington, then at Paris, gave a grand
I dinner and ball, to which he invited all the
! Foreign Ministers, not one of whom at
j tended.
| A Paris paper of Oct. It says “Os the
i questions of general interest which are to
; occupy the attention of the envoys at Vien
na, the first without doubt will be to sol
emnly fix the rights of nations of all the
known world, & particularly those of weak
er powers. France and Russia, will stipu
late in the name of humanity that neutral
countries should not be pillaged in time
of war; and that war should not be com
menced without a previous declaration, and
even without a delay for the purpose of
negotiating. The Emperor Alexander has
put forth the only project capable of
insuring this grand principle ; and it is a
common pact between the European pow- \
ers to diminish to half the amount of their
permanent forces.”
DIED, at Wayneshorough, on the fourth
instant, Thomas C. Hughes , aged 26 years j
after an illness of Tw entv-four hours.

NOTICE.
THE Public are hereby informed, that the
WARE-HOUSE, at Harrisburg, is now
in complete order for the reception of Tobacco,
and Inspectors regularly appointed, constant
ly attend there for Inspecting it; and as the
Law requires all Tobacco to be Inspected at
a Public Ware-House, before it can be ship
ped, it is expected that the practice which bas
latterly been unwarrantably introduced, of re
ceiving Tobacco at private Ware-Houses,
will to: discontinued —and notice is hereby
given that the Law regulating the Inspection |
of Tobacco, will be enforced against all known ,
violators of it; and as the penalty against of
fenders in this case is very considerable, it
may be prudent to be cautious against incur
ring it. The Law regulating the Inspection
of Tobacco, has so long existed, and is so
generally known, that it is presumed, viola
tions of it cannot take place ignorantly, and
those who are otherways transgressors will
have no just cause to complain of consequen
ces which they may wilfully invite.

Worthy of Imitation.
About three years ago, in a payment
m ade Capt. James Martin, of Franklin
County, I gave him a Half-Guinea in place
of a Seven-Pence—and this day, Cap;. Martin
called on me and mentioned that lie had not
till now been in Augusta since he last dealt
with me, and that in our dealings then there
was a small mistake ; I replied if so it ought
to be rectified, lie then told me of the above
mistake, and returned me the money overpaid
him. In times like the present, when such
acts are rare, I hope I shall be excused by the
Captain for making this singular circumstance
public.
