HINBS, Submits to tfie Citizens of Georgia and die American people, generally, the following Prospectus of »New Paper, to be published in the town of Mil ledgeville, under the title of The Reflector. WHATEVER is necessary to be said of a paper that will soon "speak for itself may he comprised in a : few words. The editor is iivfeeling and ; principle, decidedly a republican,attach- * ed to our political institutions, and friendly to the late and present adminis trations of the general government.— These sentiments will stamp the politi cal chamctec of his-paper; but lie (Joes ' not think himself infallible, or believe all men to be ignorant or corrupt, who (lif ter from him irr- opinion. His feelings are tolerant, and? Ilia conduct will be li beral. lie will duly respect the opini ons of those who entertain sentLients different from his own, and allow them j to be heard if their language and manner j five them a just ejaim to the courtesy. -, le will e.meavor to avoid party strife ’and personal altercation, and labor assi ■ duously to soften party asperity,[to con- - vince that every difference of opinion is not a difference of p!shciple,arrd to unite,* as far as possible, tne whole American family in devotion to the happiness and glory of the republic. But while our country, F.urope and the whole world, except Spanish America, ’are at peace, ami while there are so few subjects upon which public sentiment ‘among ourselves is divided, the political rdepartment of the paper must necessari ly be circumscribed within, narrow lim- j -,fs. The editor rejoices at this, as it will .give ample room and opportunity to ad vance objects of vital importance t(* the country, such as river and canal naviga tion, agriculture, ami the useful and do mestic arts—for promoting the diflfision. ■of scientific knowledge—inculcating » | taste for elegant literature, and for giv ing ardor to virtuous principles and cOn ;fidcncc to religious truths —an employ 'ment better suited to the editor’s fecl jings, and, which his judgment assures him , will be more beneficial to his- country | than any other. The paper, shall contain' sketches of , the proceedings oil the National $ Geor gia s*ate legislature. Most of the Reviews, i Magazines and reports and transactions - of. learned bodies in America, will be re- • gulai ly examined,and their quintessence radiated from the P, Reflector.” In fine, it will be the editor's object “ to hold' the mirror up to nature, to shew Virtue tier feature, and Vice her image, and the very age and body of the Time his form and pressure. CONDITIONS. The “ Reflector” will be published, weekly, ill the t.*«n of Mil ledge ville, with a good type, on paper of super-royal size,.and committed to the mail, or de livered to subscribers in town, at three dollars a year, payable in advance. Advertisements that are not improper .for every eye, will be inserted on the ; usual terms. | Each year will comprise a volume, at the end of which an extra sheet will be publised- containing a title page ami a copious table of reference. It is there fore hoped the subscribers will preserve and bind their volumes. The editor flat ters, himself that they will be worth pre serving, and that in future years they will be advantageously consulted as a correct history ol passing events, and as a repository of much agricultural, scien tific and literary matter of permanent and value. - ) September 27. c i |C?"

RED- RIVER AGENCY, } Natchitoches, Aug. 27,1817. £ TO THE EDITORS'.. Gentlemen: Herewith I enclose you copies ofm tercepted despatches, which were deli vered to one of our traders by some Commanche Indians, who state that they killed the bearers of them between St. Antonio de Baxar and Labahie. These despatches give an account, in detail, of the unfortunate fate of the gal lant col. Perry and maj. Gordon, (latea lieutenant in the U. S. rifle corps) and forty-two. Americans, at the Cowpens,in the vicinity of Labahie. Also, a detail the open tions of the royalists, under the command of gen. Aredondo, and the patriots commanded by gem Mina, at and in th&ricihfiy of la Marina.— Notwithstanding the patriots have sus tained a great loss in the fall of the fort at Soto la Marina, (which contained all their war munitions) add notwithstatid ing the royalists claim a great Victory o ver Mina, he (Mina) is pursuing the ob ject of his campaign, whilst the enemy is sending back for reinforcements; and has already penetrated as far as Esperdec Santo, and in a few days more will effect a junction with gen. Vjctorio. This o . pinion is very much .strengthened by the fact of his being already in a thick settled country of friends to the republican cause. The publication of the document which .relates to the fall of col. Perry and lus detachment will inform their relations and'friends of their fate, and at the same time it may afford them sotne consolation to know, they died in the cause of free dom. ; I have the honour to he, I Respectfully your obt. servt.

ANTONIO MARTINES. ‘ Journal ofoperations of the army of gen. Aredondo, against the fort at Soto la Marina, and its surrender. WONTELSY, JUNE 19. By letters from the army of the Bth inst. atPatoalto, seven leagues from La* Marina, it is ascertained, that, they were marching wijth several hundred excellent infantry, and twelve pieces of artillery, and upwards bf a thousand cavalry, to at tack the rebels who were there; that the same number of infantry and four hun dred cavalry the command of coL Arminan, were to have beaten before that time, the rebel Mina, for that officer had just given official information that he was in pursuit of this wretch, and very near having already passed the mouth of the Bay, in the direction ofGuastieas; but that at all events his deagn was to pur sue him at all hazards, and we shall soon be informed of the result of this, expedi tion. That the main body, under the command of geo. Aredoudo, would ac complish this expedition, by destroying those who remained at 'Sotfe la Marian, with Father Mierand commandant Sar da Auditor Infante <s(* secretary Varose* These wretches have burned the towns on their passage from San Jose; have ravag .ed the whole ol La Marina.. Shutting themselves up in a fort where they have cannon of a large calibre, bombs, gre nades, arms and ammunition of all kinds; they, within a few days, d^patcheda par ty of 50 or 60 men by the* coast of the Refugeo as it is said, with a view to bring Urn Gutierrez,(gen* Bernardo) whom they expect to seduce ami alarm the people o/ .the country, and another of equal num ber by Bercramlo* tjj- Fre*»es, to chastise Paredez; and Don Kilispe de la Garga and Don Luciano Garcia are in pursuit of them With 120 men each. The frigate- Sabine, with the Bellonaand Proserpine returned a second time to the bar of Soto la Marian; as ;he commandaut of the forme/ has officially made known, ami it is ascertained he burnt one of sels, and took a brig; by till** means no. .ship will dare to enter, and their retreat ,is cut off. The Vice Roy has given re peated orders to pardon none—to put. all to. the sword, since they continue im their obstinacy. The nearer we approach them, the . less information have woof their situation; but we are every day in sulted with printed proclamations, which they promulgate whenever they can catch our people. It will not be long before capt. Villavenor, with an hundred men of Oeorragorda, and also a regiment of more than a thousand men, will effect their union with the army; this wilt com pletely undeceive our secret enemies. At 5 o’clock this afternoon, (10th June) the army of Arredondo arrived at San Jose, two leagues distant from Soto la Marina, and tomorrow (11th) will i commence its operations, by placirg it self within cannon shot. 20th June—By letters front the army ; ’ ’. '■ * ' Ljf ISA in*, at adlsfance e fthrc e( ™ -ters of a league above Soto la Mtrinrk* is said as follows, vk. On the 10th!2 2 o’clock m the morning, we cam#S sight of thii foot of that town, and in thrS quarters ofanhour the enemy £5» their fire upon us, and although our guard advanced within 300 paces, and they fired canms er, no injury was done the whole day. On the 11th we ejected a battery of four pieces, from four to q pounders, which opened on them ver? early in the morning; they continued to fire grenades without any particular J curacy. x This day arrived in camp our captain and lieutenants, prisoners to Don Fcllni <le la Gurres, and rapt Castro who rou / ed a party of 40 of the enemy, killin'* • captain and several Americans, brinrin" in various prisoners with others taken \u ’the vicinity of the Fort, having alreadv thirty with the rogues of the country u !.‘ 0 have been imprisoned. On the Kthtik captain commandant of artillery and an other of fusileery presented 1 themsehus for pardon. A pretty constant fire has been kept up on our port, and they have answered it. To-day, 13th, the enemy’s fire has. been very rwniss, and now at 10 o’clock at night they have fired two cannon shot for they might have perceived that w* are erecting a battery within musket shot to open uppp them to-morrow, to force tins fort to surrender, which contain® the-greatest villains of the party of Mil na. An immense quantity of horned cattle, horses and mules, have been taken from them, w hich they fed under the fort,by lieutenant cols. Saida and— 1 L and captain Elguesabal Daicos and mal ny other officers who even quarrelled a , rating themselves, which shall go out a gaiust the enemy. . June 25th at 10 o’clock—By the dis . patnhes.from the general, dated 16th in •slant, in- his head-quarters at Soto La . Marina-, it appears that he entered the i fort which the rebels had erected, and ; w hich was surrendered by them the re maining prisoners at discretion, together: with the disenchanted bishop, Father Mier, that he found in the fort a great jejuan-tity of arms, ammunition and cloth - iing, of which, an inventory was to be made. • _ June 24th—By express from San Lu (is Potosi, we are officially informed that the colonel of the regiment of Estrama :<lura Arminan overtook Minain the field iof San Juse, near the Haironda of Peo itillas, not far from Malaguala, and al though the latter drew r up in order, and > was determined to*die combatting—a f i ter a battle of three-hours and a half, he • I was completely routed - , and if the caval ry of Rio.Vendes had not fallen into dis order, and, flying back, broke the infan j try, they would probably haveextennin ,ated the rabble, which the troops ofSur |ragoda, Ta’aneigo aad New Biscay were still pursuing; from, which it is believed i that Mina is going to unite with the reb els of Bario Lagas, who are under the . discretion* of the curate Torres and Mo i -reno.
