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. From the Norfolk Herald. 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 whose geftta* is tee frequently re- e buked by ihe presence of an audience they can hardly hope to please, dll- a ( ;■ "• - r heartened t»y the snperclliouj *; n ,j the elder counsel;, or empowered u the deadening sense of inferiority, * The QluW'lf orm an ..Article r » Dress. .
