Ainong the mea 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 Gab* do, and had landed on several points of the coast. A large quantity of arms and military •tores had been embarked at Angostura, intended to proceed for Casinare, lor the use of the patriot army. / ront these various incidents, we may infer some important information before the close of the year.— Aurora. “Island of Margarita, Sefit ember 6, 1818. “Our military exertions arc now paralysed by the swell of the waters, but our armies, and those ol the enemy, are strengthening themselves for the ensuing campaign. In the meantime there has entered in Guiana and this island a great number of armed vessels. The inhabitants here carry on war with the greatest terror, notwith standing the resistance of the royalists. “ 1 his moment w e iiave in our port eleven prizes, captured by our islanders. “Our lories are employed as follows: General Paez in Aphrc, with 3500 cavalry and 700 infa ntry; generals Zarassa and Monaga in Pav and St. Diego, 2500 horsemen; general Sedeno in Char guaranna, with 1090 cavalry; generals Marino and Bermudas in Cumar.a, with 2600 of all arms; general Rosas in Barcelona, with one 1000; and die supreme cnief in (Ibiana, with 4000 infantry, who are increasing every day by new recruits; of course we hope, without the least doubt, our fate w ill be settled and our liberties achieved before the year expires. ‘"AH these divisions, except those at Cumana, and Barcelona, will act against the enemy at the ensuing campaign, and so we snail have in our armies 7000 cavalry, 5000 infantry, and a corres ponding artillery,dately arrived from England.” Extract of a letter dated I.aguira, September 26, per brig Warrior, arrived at New-York. “A few days ago an attack was made on this place by several privateers— a few shots from the batteries made them sheer off. Our flotiiia is under way in chase of them. “Geaeral Moriilo arrived at Carracas on the ith instant, after reviewing the army ten thou sand strong infantry cavalry, independent of the garrisons. Thy-next campaign will be open ed soon with evyly prospect of success. Mark ets dull— iionc.”— Philadelphia paper. MILITARY CAMP near MEXICO. About seven leagues up the river Trinity, and in the vicinity ot the ground chosen by general Lallemand for his military camp, is a* town, con taining near live hundred houses, occupied by Indians and Spaniards, called Triikty, distant horn St* Antonio, in the province,Rif Mexico, about one hundred afH twenty leagues.

I am not uq(c to tefHjw>u any thing of import ance in relation to measures adopted by oui gov ernment in the present momentous circumstan ces, but (hat the grand expedition for South America, is pre paring# ilh the greatest possible activity: many troops afe in motion from several points of the kingdom to the environs of this'ci ty and the isle ol Leon, and sundry men of war bom Mahon, Carthagena, and herrol are hour ly expected here to join the squadron almost ready at this port. It is considered to be an ex pedition destined to carry into execution a most important plan agreed on and supported by the allied powers. Y\ c learn by the last letters from Madrid that our differences with the United States will be promptly settled, and both Floridas ceded to tin m, il they come to a final settlement of all the points in controversy between the two governments, on such terms as reason and good faith require.

From the Savannah Museum and (lazeltc, 10th Inst. ‘ The London papers received tne Cora, con tain nothing very interesting to an American reader. The London Observer, of the 1 3th Sep tember, is chiefly filled with accounts of trials for riots, in different parts of the country, and other crimes of all grades. Nothing of a politi cal nature had transpired. The following is an extract, from a Liverpool price current, of September 13: “Cotton, sea-island, prime St. Simon’s, 4s a 4s 3d.; do fine, 3s 6d a 3s lOd; good, 3s 3£J a 3s sd; middling 3s Id a 3s 3d; ordinary and stained, Is lid a2s 6d; New-Orleans, Is B,pi; upland bowed, Is 7jc! a Is 9Ad. l'lour, per barrel of 196 Ib. net, Philadelphia, 46s a 47s 6cl; New- York,ctc. 42s a 455; sour and oily flour, 37s a 40s; wheat, American, per 701 b. 10s 9d a 11s 9d; tobacco, Kentucky and Georgia leaf, 6 a Bpi; Maryland and Potomac scrubs 9d a 11; James’ river leaf, faded 7 a 7pi. Hops, American, first quality, per cvvt. 7/a 10/. In sea-island cotton 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.” Paris, September 1. It is said that the allied sovereigns will make a solemn entry into Aix-la-Chapelle. The num ber oi troops will be more considerable than was at first supposed. Vienna, August 20. Prince Blucher, who is at Carlsbad, begins to recover, and there is room to hope that the use of the waters will restore him to health. Brussels, August 28. \\ e learn that general Fressinet, who resided some time at Antwerp, arrived on the loth of May at Buenos Ayres, on board the American frigate Aurora, captain Warner. It is affirmed tnat he is going to join the insurgent general San Martin, who has already in his army another very well known French officer, viz. general Brayer. August 31. A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, of the 28th, says, “a report is current, that his highness mar shal prince Blucher, ol \\ ahlstahd, had died at Cailsbad, where by the last accounts he arrived nuich indisposed.” [The Aix-la-Chapelle paper oi August 30, does not mention this report.) London, September 13. Yesterday we received l aris papers of Tues day and \\ ednesday last. Great exertions are stat< <! to be making at Cadiz fur completing the long threatened expedition to South-ArndHca, and the celebrated general O’Donnell, the count de l’Abisbal, has already left Madrid for the pur pose of taking the command. Fivery device is 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 ling. Kew Palace , September 12.—The quhen has had an indifferent night: her majesty remains much indisposed, without any material alteration in her symptoms. Eight o'clock P. M. Up to this time the queen continues much more indis posed than she lias been the preceding part of the week, but no immediate danger is appre hended. FROM FRANCE. Captain Hall, of the ship Comet, sailed from Ilavre-de-Grace on the 11th of September.— At that date, no political news of importance had transpired. There had been no change in the cotton market. Rice was selling at sixty francs; coffee was at two francs, and declimrf*.’ The CometJias brought out Jmout 250,000 dollars in spe<s|, for the bank of the United Slates —mostly hi five franc nieces.

Bombay paperyto the sth August have been received at Saleuri. By extracts given in ti e Sa lem Gazette, it'hppears,*that the British success over the native PrinCes, continued; but that the latter appeared deter ifcncd to die in the last ditch. ‘ Among the latest war’ events we find the storming or capture of the fo*ts of Melii gawn, Byramghur, Bowangen, Kangoree, Kabru as, Linguana, Mybutghar and Chanda, by vari ous corps of the English; and that in the latter, 500 of the garrison were put to the sword. Fhe former accounts of the defeat of the Pie shaw is corroborated with additional particulars. Fhe insurrection in Celyon had not be nqucll ed, and afiairs, but none of a decisive nature, were daily taking place. THele^s!

I A letter from Havana, of Sept. 27 wn ive.i ’ at Boston) says, “Tne American schooner Piper, arrived from New-Yprk, was boarded in sight of Orange Keys, by a piratical open boat, who abus ed him in the most shameful manner, and the passengers 21, (including tliiidren) and crew, stripped of every article of clothing—they were tied back to back, and put on the forecastle, where ! they were kept, in a hot sun, till they robbed the j vessel of 4000 dollars wortii of goods, and leg them only one barrel of water, and 20 pounds of . beef and bread.” 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. rnovr the national intelligence!!, October 23, Cop y of a letter from Mr. John PPMeill, to the 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.—
