sures pursued on this occasion, the*vicerov Se
mano had caused to be printed and circulated
throughout the whole of the viceroyalty, a pla
i ard declaring that Guayana had been taken by
the royal armies, and that the patriot general
Paez had been killed in battle; that the army of
the rebel and buccaneer had been annihilated; that
the supreme chief Bolivar had disappeared; and
that the royal army was soon to return to New
Grenada, having put an end to the buccaneering
on the Terra Pinna.
The partriot squadron, under admiral Brion,
had swept the coast from the Oronoco to Porto

“Our military exertions arc now paralysed by
the swell of the waters, but our armies, and those

has entered in Guiana and this island a great

carry on war with the greatest terror, notwith
standing the resistance of the royalists.

The following is an extract, from a Liverpool

nothing scarcely has been done, and the great ex
pectations entertained of this article in the early
part of the season, have hitherto been complete
ly disappointed. The last of the shipments from
Georgia and Carolina are now arriving, and the
import from the United States will hereafter be
very small, until the next crop comes forward;
from Brazil the quantity will also abate; so that
a deduction of stock will now take place, and it
therefore seems probable that present prices will
continue to be supported. The prices of Ame
rican flour are rather likely to improve than
otherwise, owing to the great reduction in the
stock; and a large proportion of what is now left
being unsound, and fit only to be used in manu
facturing purposes, fer which it finds a pretty
ready sale, at our quotations.”

resorted to lor the purpose of raising money.—
Nobility is publicly set up for sale, and a sche
dule is published, stating the prices of the diffe
rent ranks. Considering the intrinsic value of
the commodity, and that in the eye of reason
the purchaser can only be contemptible, we
think the prices enormously high. That of the
first rank is stated at a sum of about 52 51 ster

Extract of a letter dat and Pensacola, Se/tt, 19.
“JrY e are waiting with anxiety for the United
j States to take foimal possession of this place, and
for the establishment of a regular system of gov-
I ernment. Our government at present isanniita
| ry one exclusively, and of course not very highly
: relished. Pensacola contains at this time about
fifteen hundred buildings, one third of which are
! dwelling-houses: it is probably in a more delight
ful situation than any town in t.ie southern coun
try, and decidedly more healthy. Many north
ern people have spent the season here thus far,
without a single death, not scarcely a case of
sickness.
This place will and must lie a place of safe
and fashionable resort during the summer and
sickly months. The harbor is exceeded by none
in the world perhaps—two thousand ships may
ride in perfect safety. For Carlos de Bafancas
is six miles below the town, and commands the
entrance into the harbor. The country in the *
neighborhood is very far from being fertile; but
all this part of the country produces the grape in
great luxuriance, and will one day be to the Uni
ted States what Spain is to Europe. Lands on
the Escambia are good, as also on Yellow Water
and the different bayous and creeks.
The Indians are routed— scarcely one is seen
throughout the country. Many of them have
passed on to cross the Mississippi.”
New-Orleans is said to have increased in pop
ulation full three-fourths since its annexation to
the United States, and now contains forty thou
sand inhabitants. It is supposed tiiat the yellow
fever would not be known there under a proper
system of police, which, it is probable, will be so
far improved, by the next season, as greatly to
contribute towards its extinction.
An estimate lias been made, that the lands
lately ceded by the Indians in the state of Indi
ana, amount to about 7,000,000 of acres.
CHICKASAW TREATY.
From information derived from a respectable
source, we arc induced to conceive that consid
erable difficulty will probably occur in the nego
ciation now pending with the Chickasaw Indians.
They appear to be alarmed at the idea of para, g
with any portion of tueii territory. But four of
the chiefs had attended on the 2d October when
this information was communicated. In conse
quence of the neglect of the agent, general Jack
son has been compelled to forward bills to Nash
ville, for the purpose ol procuring the means of
discharging the annuities due those Indians.
Rhode Island, it appears is now the only
state in the union without a written Constitution;
and the old charter of Charles 11, being acknowl
edged to be defective, it is presumed that state
will not long remain without a Constitution.

War Department.
River Rlack Warrior, Tuscaloosa county, ?
Alabama Territory, Sept. 22, 1318. 5
Honored Sir — l hasten to lay before your de
partment some statements relative to the late
battle fought with a band of Indians, consisting
of 70 warriors, and their women and children.—
From the best information that I have received,
they are a remnant of the hostile Creeks, who,
on finding they could no longer be protected in
Florida, lately applied to the Chickasaw tribe
for land to settle on; but, being denied, they form
ed a resolution to fight their way through our set
tlements, over the Mississippi, where, they were
told by the Chickasaws, they could get land.—
In order to execute their design, they crossed
the rivers Alabama and Cahaba, and on their
way to the Warrior they killed 2 Avliite men and
3 Chactaws. On inching this river, at a place
called Cornel’s settlements, they committed sev
eral outrages on our citilensyand murdered sev
eral of the family of Hail. They then
steered their course ibrejr; place. Having re
ceived intelligence of their approach, on the
16th instant, sixteen oT our most enterprising
men armed themseiveb, and chose major Taylor
and myself to command them. We - were join
ed by captain Bacon and fourteen men. Being
thus united we went in pursuit, and, having
met with their trail, we followed it through
swamps and cane brakes, heretofore thought to
be impenetrable, mftii we found where they had
Warrior* 8 miles below the falls.—
After ciXsing and marching 4 miles, through tiie
most horrid swamps and y&uc brakes, and being
separated from captain-'Bacon’s command, we
discovered the” cnemjr encamped in a beaver
dam, well fortifiedjiy nature, there being a thick
cane brake on tlyright, and a high bluff on the
left. They us than they raised
the war who#p, and prepared for action. We
then gave efrders to charge on them, which was
done spirit of true Americans, and 8 or
10 of,their warriors were laid dead on the ground;
we then retreated and loaded our guns, and hav
ing formed again on the entrance of the encamp
ment, we were reinforced by captain Bacon and
part ol his men. A smart skirmish was kept up
for 30 minutes, during which time we killed 6 or
S more of the enemy; but finding they were en
deavouring to outfiankus, a retreat was ordered,
which was effected without any molestation.—
