with a letter from Maj. Gen. Jack

f rom which wo hate mode the follow -
*ng e*tc*ctjr* l. n . _
“ Compile* lineofJSarch, 16 miles
in advance of Ft. Godson, Mat/ 7 .
« I cannot adequately express my
feelings on the outrageous and inhu
man attack of capt. Wright and par
ty, on the superannuated men and
women of the friendly Chehaw vil
lage, which you recite. It will he a
stigma on the American Nation, un
less the general government use their
endeavors to bring the perpetrators
to justice. 1 have ordered Wright
to be arrested, and he shall be tried
by a military court 1 have written
the Governor of Georgia on the sub
t’ect, expressing my astonishment at
lis unwarrantable intertcrence with
my duties.
“ I congratulate you on the safe
maren of your brigade to Fort Early,
with a hope that the brave Georgians
undei your command, who have en
countered the dangers, fatigues and
privations of a long march in an un
friendly country, may be speedily
restored, in -health, to their families
and homes.
“ 1 am now on my march to Pen
sacola, which place I shall have prob
ably to occupy .with an American
garrison.”
St. Stephens, (A. T J May 9.
Governor Bibb returned to mis
place on .Sunday last. An expediti
on against the hostile Indians having
been arranged, a detachment of Vo
lunteers inarched from Claiborne the
day previously. It is understood that
the .Spanish Territory will no longer
furnish an asylum to the enemy.
Yesterday the governor received
intelligence from Major Youngs who
commanded at Fort Crawford, that
he having organised a force consisting
of regulars, militia from Camp Mont
gomery and Cliocktnws, proceeded
down the bscamoia in boats, attack
ed the hostile Indians on Pensacola
Bay within ohe mile of the town of
Pensacola on the 25th ult. killed
nine, winded twelve or thirteen,
and took efgßf prisoners, with the
loss on his part of one man only.-
Lieut Alien tlm militia-
The expedition was so cautiously and
properly conducted; that the enemy
were not apprized of danger until the
attack was made. The day after the
Governor of Pensacola issued a proc
aniiitiph, forbidding the inhabitants
to sell or give any supplies to the In
dians, and informed the Chiefs that
they sluii.fd not be protected. Re at
the same time advised them to sur
render and sue for peace.
Major Youngs speaks in hipb terms
the good conduct of the detach
ment under his command.
It is highly probable therefore,
that the period is not distant when
our fellow citizens on the frontier
n«iy safely repose in their habitations.
It is with peculiar pleasure we lay
before the public the following highl y
interesting intelligence, so |gratefui
to the ear of our distressed frontier
f How citizens.
It is due to governor Bibb, to say
that the safety and protection which
has been given to our frontier is al
most wholly attributable to his exer
lions. We are warranted i:» stating
that at the most critical period of the
late disturbance!, he was seen tra
velling through the most dangerous
part of (he country, at and near the
scene of Indian murders, with no o
thcr guard.or protection but his ser
vant, solely with the view of making
arrangements for the protection ol
the inhabitants. He has undergone
the greatest' privations for the good
if the country, hence he deserves the
highest meed of approbation.
Governor Bibb has just received
despatches from Maj. Youngs. The
hostile Indians have sued for peace
through the Governor of Pensacola
They are to report themselves in a
ew days at liurant’s Bluff, from
whence they will be conducted to
Fort Oawfofd.
So much for the conviction which
the late successful expedition has
wrought upon the savages, that they
shall not. murder our inhabitants, and
then hpd shelter, in the Spanish Ter
ritories! ? > . •
Thief war oa our frontier has pro
oably now terminated, and it remains
only, by.proper arrangements, to sc
ire our citizens from depredations
for the future.
We learn that Gov. Bibb will pro
ceed to Fort Crawford next week
It is understood that the governot
of Pensacola manifested in the affki
a disposition to regard the obligations
>f the treaty of 1795. Halcyon.
A letter from Washington city,
wrote by a member of Congress,
" t
states that on the application of Mr.
Talbott of Kentucky to the Presi
•lent of the United States requesting
th.t the Indian title to lands in that
state be extinguished, he was infor
med “ the government was esing
every means in its power to effect
that object, and would continue to
use them as far as good faith woplo
authorise, as it was new the settle. '
policy of the administration to re
move as soon as possible all the tribe-'
of Indians who reside on the east to
the west of the Mississippi.” Thi
fact, which may be relied on, is most,
important to this quarter of tli»*-
union; if tiiia policy be pursued witn
zeal’, we have no douot that in a few
years the wilderness to the west and
south will be settled by an enterpri
sing people, and will be the most a
greeable and desirable residence on
thecon<inent. In climateand soil it is
inferior to no part of the union; ami
'being convenient to Market, &c. it is
more valuable than districts of equal
salubrity more remote. B e hope
success may crown their first at
tempt.

AFFAIRS OF POKT-AU-FRINCI'..
An attentive friend has put into cur
hands a letter from his correspond
ent in Port-au Prince, dated the 13ili
of April, and a Gazette of that place,
from which wo present our reader-,
with the following articles ol intelli
gence?
It was apprehended that the choice
of a new president to succeed Pe
tion, would be attended with some
difficulty and opposition; but, to the
surprise and joy of every one, the
election was conducted with the
most perfect harmony and good or
der, and the result generally satis
factory to all parties.
With respect to our commercial
relations with Port-au Prince, we
are assured that they arc now upon
a more favorable footing tiian at any
period ofPetion’s presidency. There
is nothing apprehended from the
change—-on the contrary, commerce
vvil’ meet with every encouragement
and protection under the auspices ol
president Boyer.
The letter states that rrevisions
were scarce and in great demand al
Port-au-Prince- lliere had beer
three arrivals from the United States
within the three preceding weeks,
principally laden with pro isious
but they had not reduced the prices
Coffee was still high, and money
scarce. Half the imports and ex
ports being now paid for in cash, puu
a jrreat deal of money into the trea
sury, and of course takes much us t
out of the coffee market, (t is flu?
opinion of the writer, however, tha
coffee will decline in price.
City of Washington, May 11.
A circumstance of a melancholy
nature occurred here on Thursday
last—particulars follow;
A young Englishman, employed as
Coachman to the Spanish Minister,
offered at the U. S. Bank a thousand
dollar note for change; the Teller on
examining It, enquired of the bearei
if he knew the amount of the not,
he had handed him, who replied that
it was 100 dollars. He was then in
formed that its value was 1000 dol
lars, and that such a note had been
stolen from a person, who had lodged
information of his loss, with its iden
tification, at the bank, and that it
must be retained fir its proper own
er. The young man frankly confess
sed that he had received it from a
coloured girl to get changed, suppo
sing it to be a 100 dollar note. He
then went home, desired a boy, in
passing near the stable, to feed the
horses, ascended into the hay-loft,
and hung himself. It has since ap
peared that the colored girl purloin
ed the note—-that what he said was
strictly true, and that he was per
icctly innocent of having obtained it
improperly—was a very honest ser
• ant, but stung with the charge of
theft, and overcome by shame, rash
ly terminated Tfis existence.
Gazette.
Ludicrous (%uarr> I. —Letters from
England mention a ludicrous affray
said to have taken place between the
Prince Regent and the Duke of York.
The royal brothers having differed
in one of their drinking frolicks, a
dopted the old national custom o*
John Bull to put matters to rights
The prince regent gave the duke a
blue eye, and the latter deprived the
prince of three of his teeth. Various
reports were in circulation as to the
cause of this royal bruising match.
From Paulding's Letters from the
South.

'Yesterday we laid by at the little
town of W It wa« court time,
and two lawyers, the pick of the
whole country round, were to take
the field against each other, in a suit
between a wagoner and batteauswan,
in a case of assault and battery. You
are to understand, the beautiful ri
ver Shenandoah passes not far from
this town, and is navigable for bat
teaux; while* at ’no great distance
runs the great western road, which
- f- zs
U travelled by the west country wag- I
oners - —someol whom, ji u 4**- '
■‘half horse, half aliigator;”'othefc. I
•part earthquake, and a little of tin
and others corapouip
ed, according to their own accounts,
of ingredients altogether' different
from the co.’nmoir constituent parts '
0 f the real of mankind. The bat- I
teauxmen are for the moat part com J
posed of materials equally combuaU
le; and the consequence' is, that oc- I
. asionally, when they meet, they
strike fire, and blow'up the powdu
magazine each carries about him in
the form of a heart. ’ r- „
The history .of the pfeselit contest.
.as detailed by the counsel for the
plaintiff, is ns lollops; One’summe
evening, when the mild air, the pur
ple light, the green earth, and the
blue sky, all seemed to invite to
peace and repose, the batteaUMnai
fastened his boat to the stuinp of a.
tree, lighted his fire to broil his ba
con, and began to sing that famous
snug of “The opossum up the gum
tree.” By and by a west count) - ,
wagoner chanced to come jingling h'
bells that way, and stopping his wag
on, unhooked his horses, carried then
round to the little trough at the back
• of his vehicle, gave them some sfioris.
sat himself down at the top of to
bank, below width the batteausihan
, was sitting in his boat, and began to
, whistle «1 he batteauxman robl*ed the
. old woman’s hen-roost.” The bat
teauxman corked-upTis.ey.ea at the
; wagoner, and the wagoner looking
- askance down on the batteauxmuo,
> look a chew ol tobacco with a leer
; that was particularly irritating. I'he
• batteauxman drew out his whiskey
bottle, took a drink, and put the cor!
. in again, at the same time thrusting
. his toiige in his cheek in q-inannei
not to be borne. The wagoner flap
| ;,ed his hands against his hips, and
crowed like acock; the batteauxman
curved his neck, and neighed like b
horse. Being, however, men of ra
i>er phlegmatic habits, they kept
heir tempers so far as not to come to
blows just then. In a few minutes
the wagoner swore “he had the hand
somest sweetheart of any man in all
artonbriar.” The batteauxman rose
, upin a passion, but sat down again,aid
took a drink. In a few minutes the
wagoner swore “he had the finest
horse of arty- manrinJJDCLmiies.” 'ihe
batteauxman bounced up, pul’ed the
waistband of his trousers, took ano
'her drink, and bounced down again.
I minute afterwards the wagoner
wore “ he had a be i terrific than an,
•urn that ever wore a bide jacket. *’
This was too the batteaux
;an wore a jacket of that cdlor, and
•■■!" course this amounted to a person
d insult. Besides, to attack a mast’s
. ’He! He Could have borne any re
jection on his sweetheart: or his
mrse; -but to touch his rifle, w4s to
•ouch his honour. 'Offiventtheblue,
jacket; tile batteauxfnan scrambled
up the bank, and, a set to commeu-,
ced, that ended in the total discomfit
tore of the wagoner, with, the loss ol
three of his grinders, and the gain of
“ divers black and bloody bruise*,”
as honest Lithgow says. The- bat
reauxman waited till the <no-»n rose,
when he went whistling down the
dream to carry the news of his vjeto*
:y to Ojd Potomac; and the pool: wa
goner went “to take the law.” as a
man says when the law is about to
. take him.
The honest batteauxman was ar
rested on his return for assault and
battery on the west country wagoner.
It being you know the great object
■ of the law to find out which par
y isin the . rong, the lawyer of
each side of course labors to throw
the imputation on his adversary's
• client. It appeared clearly enough
that the batteauxman made the first
assault, but it also appeared in evi
dence that crowing like a cock wis « '
direct challenge,according to the un
derstanding ot these people; that to
undervalue a batteau . •an’s sweet
heart or horse, whether he had any
or not, was a mortal insult; & that t*.
insinuate any inferiority in his rifle,
was an offence which no one cuuJd put
up with without dishonor. That such
points ofhonor constituted v tl»e chi
'alry of these people, that no class of
mankind is without sometidng ofthj
nature—-that however low a man mav
be, (here are insults he cannot sub
mit to, without being disgraced a
mong his equals, who constitute his
world—and that to oblige him, in anv
situation, to put up with disgrace,
was to debase his nature;’and todes- i
troy every manly principle within I
him. Trifling as this'caae may up t
pear, it called forth a display of ta- •
lent, and a depth of investigation as *
to how far it was possible, and if f
possible, how far it was salutary to i
attempt to repress the operation of <
those feelings which spur men in all
situations to avoid disgrace at the I
risk of every thing, that gave me a t
high idea of the two advocates. They
were both young men, new to the
’*ar, jke. yet they spoke w*th a de- -
srmot fluency as well as seif posses
which is seldom witnessed by 1
our yuuuf lawyer* of the cities, d
