It was reported at Cadiz, that there

Letters received in town from Lis

The proceedings oi the general court-
martial in the case, of Capt. Scott,
have occupied much of our attend
on. Captain Scott has been charged
with mutiny, in having said, “ that
should he e ver go into battle under
general Wilkinson he would carry
two weapons, the one for the enemy
and the other for the General ; foi^j 1
he did not know how soon he might
play the part of Arnold—that he was
liar, a scoundrel and a traitor.
The opinion of the court is not yet
published. Previous to their deci-
general Wilkinson, no doubt
apprehensive that the court would
acquit Capt. Scott, or sentence him
to some moderate punishment, and in
so doing admit the truth of his as
sertions, addressed a letter to the
court; threatening to correct them
if they erred. Thus offering an in
sult to the court, and to the com
manding officer who ordered it.
The court treated the letter with the
contempt it merited.

COMMUNICATION FROM THECAN
TONMENT.
IVhashington, M. T. Jan. 24, 1810.
SINCE the assumption of com
mand by Brigadier Gen. Hampton,
the camp has undergone a com
plete change. -—The utmost at
tention is paid to the police and to the
comfort of the Soldier ; an extensive
detail has been made for the purpose
of erecting a general hospital; and
every exertion is makiug for the ac
com modal ion of the sick.
General Hampton declines the
vain, and at present useless parade
of ;* body guard, rather than dimi
nish the force so much wanted in the
erection of huts, the hospital and in
keeping the encampment in a clean
ly and healthy state—or than to de
prive General Wilkinson of this emp
ty pageantry of office, to which he is
so m ucli attached.
Since the arrival of General Hamp
ton the supineness ol the officers has
given place to emulation, industry
and activity. The drill so leng ne
glected has been commenced with
life and spirit. The appearance of
the soldiers, and the cheerfulness ol
the camp throughout strongly evince
the genera! natiafuction at the change
ol commanders.

produce fifty pounds of salt, equal in
strength and purity to any I have e-

erected a small furnnee and makes
about fifty bushels per day ; a Mr.
Whitaker has alsoperfurated the rock
on the opposite side of the Kanhuwa,
and been equally successful. Sue
cessful trials have also been made lor
obtaining the water on both sides of
the river for 20 miles in extent; it is
found at various depths from 30 to
80 feet from which it appears that
the fountain is inexhaustible. This
discovery is an invaluable acquisition
to this country, as salt being a heavy
article, has ever been scarce and dear.
To add to the utility of this disco

a bold navigable river, 56 miles from
its confluence with the Ohio,whither
it can be conveyed to any part of the
Western country.
“ Iron has hitherto been a difficult

but there is now a Furnace in blast
on the Muskingum, which makes
excellent castings, and a Forge is
erecting which will work the ensuing

“ The conferees on the part of the
Senate made' a proposition to. insert,
in the room of the sections stricken
out, the following: “ Be it further
enacted, that the President of the U.
States be and he hereby is authorised
to employ the public armed vessels of
the United States in copvo.yiug.the
merchant vessels of the United States,

for the government of the ships which
may be employed in convoying such

conferees on the part of the House
disagreed.
“ The conferees on the part of the
House of Representatives made the
following proposition: To permit
British merchant vessels to import

It is highly probable the bill will
be lost. The Non-Intercourse law
expires with the present session of

of the Senate, it is evident they will
not consent to its renewal.

from it had had been little or nothin
