RICHARD FOSTE.R November Bpt ■ AUGUSTA, DKG. 3. Extract from the Minutes of the Fire Company, met at ike City Hotel, on Saturday evening, the 29 tk November. THE Company having observed with regret a remark in the Augusta Herald of last Friday, which they think rather derogatory to their characters as Firemen, they deem it an incumbent du ty Instate to the citizens, thatit was not in their power to save col. Hutchinson’s kitchen. Ihe situation of the fire was very remote; and when they got to the place, although every exertion was used to be there as stum as possible, the house uas completely on fire, and hot a drop ■ol water in the adjoining pumps. Resolved , therefore, (while the Com ity siuccn-.l v deplore the misfortune of the sufferer ) that the person who made t!-e remark above alluded to, ought at least to nave better known the circunK stances, before reflecting on the conduct of a number of men, whose usefulness, had there been any possibility of doing guod, would have been manifested to the utmost of their power. INDIAN NEWS. Commencement of Hostilities. —Major Ruffi/., Aid to Gen. Gaines, arrived in ihis place on Sunday evening last, direct from Fort Scott, and has politely furn ished us with the following intelligence -—from wr.ich it will be seen that the first blow has been struck; and although in a ye it affair of jittle or no conse quence, yd it evinces a determination on the part of the Semiuoies to persist in their hostility. On the Lth ult. Gen, Gaines arrived' at hors Scott, Hint River, ahd dispatch • ed a courier to the Chief of Fowl Town, .in Indian village Situated above the' Spanish boundary, and 15 miles from rurt Scott. The messenger informed the Chief that the General “ had a talk for him”—he replied, tie “did not wish to hear it; neither had he any talks for' the General, other than those given the officer of Fort Scott”—the purport of which was, we believe, a re fusal of indemnity for the outrages his tribe had committed, and a determina tion to defend their soil to the last. Ac cordingly on the 20th, a detachment of 950 regulars, under the command of Mag jor Twigg*; were put in motion, with or® •lers to surround tin? Town, and take as many prisoners as possible; hut not to commit any other act of hostility, unless necessity required it. The detachment gave the alarm—but the cause was not known to (he Indians until the nearer approach of our troops, when the Sava ges hastily fired upon them without ef fect. Our party returned the fire, which killed five of the enemy—who precipit ately retreated, and fled to an adjoining swamp for safety. Maj. Twiggs “having executed his duty, as fir as circumstan ces wou’d permit—persuit being imprac ticable—he returned to the Fort. The number of Indians composing the town was supposed to he 250.

Subscriptions are receiv ed by the editor of the Washington City Gazette, who will deliver the copies sub scribed for, when received from England. The Florida*. We have accounts from a source which leaves not a doubt on our minds, that the island of Amelia will betaken possession of, and Aury and his freebooters driven off in a few weeks, by order'of our gov ernment—Peaceably if practicable, for cibly if necessary. The island is to be held by the United States’ troops, until the meeting of Congress, when we shall then know how matters stand between Spain and ourselves, and how they are to be adjusted. The president in order ing the capture of Amelia has discharged his duty. By this act he extends the arm of protection to Georgia as an inte gral part of the Union; and will prevent encroachments dangerous to the prosper ity of the state, and destructive of its citizens. It is asserted that Don Oms has in structions from his king, to tender the Floridas to the United States, for six million of doMars;out which sum, Spain agrees to deduct the amount of spolia tions made by her on the property of A merican citizens. Such is the confidence placed in this report, that the stocks of the ditferent insurance offices, that have suffered by the depredations of Spain rose in one day 95 per cent in value. Suv.

But as an Algerine, he was a great man, and hi* dethronement may prove the harbinger and the cause of the utter annihilation ot the power of Algiers.
