We have deceived Tennessee papers
as late as the Bth October. They make
no mention of the reported duel between
fienemls Jackson and Adair. A gentle
man- alftq diri- ed in this phice a few days
sineft Troth Nashville—-he places no con
fidence in tie rlinuir. From these cir
cumstances we we induced to believe
that the account published in our last, is
entirely unfounded—and that JACtC
HOJV* still lives, to add fresh laurels to,
the chaplet of his jjeaowft, whenever ne
cessity requires it.
Several arrivals from Europe, in short
passages, furnish us with intelligence

may not he iliufiory, but tend
to a happy amelioration of the distresses
of that country. The mltiistcfial prints
have receded one step, and acknowledge
that negotiation# are pending between
gome of the confed(M uted thonarrhs and
Ferdinand, in relation to lift revolted
colonies. Feathers tell which way the
wind blows. Reciprocal Civilities have
passed between the Empress of Russia
and Queen of Spain—ln which the former
has conferred upon the latter the order
of Bt. Catharine. The presentation of
a petticoat to Ferdinand would have
Korn strongly marked the sincerity of
th« donor, arid have better characterised
the gilt to the doneq.'
'1 he Emperor Alexander has been ex
tolled as a magnanimous Prince. The
time is approaching- we think, which
will test his claim (it* not alread y forfeit
ed) to that title. Let Spain hold out a
sufficient inducement, and it will be
quickly seen that territorial and commer
cial aggrandizement, when brought in
competition with political rectitude, is
not often impleaded in the court of con
science by legitimate aovereigni if.

We learn from a source entitled to
credit, that the Seminole Indians have
refused to comply with the demand of
gen. Gaines, requiring the surrender of

justify the conduct of their people on the
score of retaliation, alledgidg that the
whites were the first aggressors. A rup

_ Among other incentives to a war with
?pain, urged in the public prints, a case
is stated in the Weekly Register, as
likely to * urge, to action’: which is, that
Certain persons claiming to be American
jutizens been captured under a
Southern American patriot flag, and are
JJOw 10 dungeon at Havana. We have
had,- without doubt, many cases of justi
fication of a war with Spain, but this is not
<n»e of them. The United States cannot
finder take to protect those of their citi
fiens who voluntarily expatriate them
saijes, and embark their fortunes in war
nder a foreign flag. That the raman
c Maeauley fell a victim to the chival
which led him tp the plains of
WVtn America to combat the Spanish
. a ceß ’ would be about as. just a cause of
iff.*?.*!** finrbidh is; referred to. The
‘ted States would not, it will be readi
f-
ly admitted, demand the emancipation
of these prisoners if taken ip actual wai
between us ana Spain 2 they have, it ap
pears to us, even less right to demand it
when taken in arms against a nation with
whom their country is at peace. We
are truly sorry for the fate of these un-
Iprtunatc men: but we apprehend that
no principles isinorc clearly established,
thail that those who engage in a war, in
which their nation has no concern, do it
entirely at their own risk. Theirs is the
honour uud the profit of success: theirs
must also be .the peril and suffering of
reverse. ,
A misapprehension something similar
wc have noticed in another paper, res
pecting the defeat and slaughter of Ma
jors iVcry and Gordon, (American citi
zens) and forty other jwmvumis, in the in
terior of Mexico. It is spoken of as an
attack by a Spanish force on an Amer
ican fui •ce. This is entirely an error. 1
These persons composed a detachment
of the urrny under (he command of Mina,
which invaded Mexico. Overpowered
by u superior number of Spanish troops,
they abated the fate of that system of
war, prevailing too generally in South
Amenta, which refuses quarter to all
ranks, olid often to all ages-ami sexes.

Yesterday, after the Philadelphia

Mr. Cox, wife, child and niece, and se

order to overtake Iter. On coming
longside of the steam-boat, one of the

Cox, and a gentleman, whose name is
not known, were drowned—Every exer

fore a boat couid reach her from the

with pleasure we mention the name of Mr.
Killim, master of the steam-boat Twins,

boat sunk, and with a promptness that
reflects great credit on him, threw him
