In order to bring Ibe circumstances of this transaction fully before you, I mu-t "beg leave to reieryou to a copy ot a letter •vritten by myself tu general Jackson, {herewith--enjtloswl' by which you will prr- ceive, that soon after lliit army enter, t?l the notion,, .and passed Foi l Early, the Indians in'that neighborhood, especial ly fnnn tv. i^ towns situated on the ea side of Flint river, generally denominated Hnpaunees ami Philemihecs, from chiefs of tlmt name, had recommenced their tie predations on ubor frontier. - After hav i!.g waited a considerable time, in expec talioft receiving ah answer from the gen oral, lint in vain;.rid being repeatedly and earnestly requested liy the distressed i habitants of that frontier;' to afford them protection against the inroads of the sava ge-j and being fully satisfied letters Jiai respectable citizens from that quarter, that thy murders „ and depredation* committed, were by' fndiahV ’ Irom the atmve named towns, 1 took upon my sell the responsibility of . ordering a (I tuchnicnt into service fur theospccial pu pfcse of destroying them, having been con vinced-bjr experience, that small detach 'meats, stationed on the frontiers, we not Ahfficient to ensure .protection to me in habitants, as the Indians, acquainted with their situation, watched favorable oppnr tuiiitieb for coming in on some unguarded point, committing murders, and returnin With impunity. On the 24lh of Novcin ‘•bee last, I received a requisition from til svar department, requesting ms to cause tu iv detailed Irnin major general Floyd’: (division, five hundred men, for ill* special purpose of assisting in the reduction of Amelia Island. Orders fur this purpose were immediately given tv major general Floyd, who viewing it, as l did, a case of emergency; drew the whole of the requisi tinn from the first brigade of his division under the impression that their service would be required on that occasion only.— Before the organization of the troopscould at? completed, Amelia Island fell into the bauds of tnc regular force sent against it General Floyd,notwithstanding, coinple ted tne organization, and, without consult hig me at ‘all, they were ordered to the frontier different points. Some were urdered to Hartford, to join the two regi ments, which were (hen organizing to gn against the Indians, agreebly to a request of gen. Gaines. Aiming these was captain Wright’s company, Trqm Savannah. At the time they marched, however, the cap : lxiii from ill health, was unable to accnm 'pany them, bat Shortly after followed on to Hartford anil assumed (lie command of i small detachment left there, although, it since eppeanfc-hc had never been mustered into the gernoe; of the United States.— 'Capttih Wright having tendered his scr vices to lehd the expedition, auJ, from the circumstances above mentioned, believin_ 1 had the right to command him, they were accepted. . f accordingly ordered two companies of cavalry from two adja cent conutics, and two companies!,!'infant ry, which 1 had previously ordered to dif ferent posts on the frontier, to rendezvous a! Hartford, and report themselves to cap tain Wright, and a/so directed captain \V. to call on captain Bothwell, then in the service of the United^tates, stationed at Fort Early, for assistance, should it be necessary. The only reason I have to of fer for calling on the troops m the service of the United States, is, the danger to which the frontier ivas exposed, ami tin necessity fyr putting a stop to the incur sions of the savages; which could only be 'done by the destruction of their towns, in order that the inhabitants might re turn to their homes, and prepare their farms for cultivation, tne sea son for doing so having then commenced, Tim party, on their march learning that Ifnpaunce had left his own Village, and had taken up Ms residence at BieChehaw town, took on themselves the responsibly ol pursuing them there; anil having reached the town, corotneneeif an attack brJ it; the risult of waich was, that several of the friendly Indians were killed.

This availed nothing; mock patriotism burned in their breasts; they crossed the river that night and pushed for the town.—.WUvn .arrianl there, an Indian was discovered grazing some cattle: he was made a prisoner. I am informed by sergeant Jones, that the Indian immediately proposed,to go wit!; the interpreter, and bring any of the chiefs for the captain to talk with. It was not at tended to. An advance was .ordered, the cavalry rushed forward and comm iiced the massacre. Even after the firing anu murder commenced, major Howard,ah old chief, who furnished you with corn, came out of his house with a while Bag in front of the line. It was not respected. An order was given for a general fire, and nearly 400 guns were discharged at him, before one took effect—he fell, and was bayoneted—his son was also killed, rhes are the circuinstancesrelative to the trans action.

It appeared, in the course td the de bate, tint Mr. Mercer had been misumler stood, by others as well as by ns. to have intimated an intention to introduce the dis rnssion of the questions aii-ring out ol the Seminole war, by a motion to amend the military appropriation "bill, so as to affect the pay of the major gene' als. It is now understood, that the objectof Nlr.

The discussion, then, of the subject of the Seminole war will pot take place so soon as was supposed; but indications enough were afforded, by the hints thrown out in the course of yesterday’s proceed ings, that the deoate will, when it takes places, engage the undivided attention and the best talents of the hsuse. For a more particular account of the proceedings of yesterday, we must refer the reader to a sketch of them which is Attended to be given.—A'atidnal Intelli ~encer, 8th inst. In the senate, there has been within the last few days, an interesting discussion on the important subject of the proposed re-modification of- the judiciary of the United States.

BAKKOF THE UMTED STATES, The Bank of the United States lias dc dared a dividend of two and a half per cent, on its capital stock for the half year ending on the 4th instant. It appears we were misinformed in stating that Mr. Butler was nominated to the senate, as one of the directors of the bank of the United Stales for the ensuing year. Mr. John Steele is the fifth director nominated, and not Mr. Butler. We are authorized to state that what is given in the Philadelp'-ia papers as a sketch of proceedings oil. that subject, in ■die senate, is essentially incorrect, parti cularly therein it professes to give the arguments used in debate.

Under this head we had occafion a few days ago, tu instance a daring robbery and outrage, committed by a piratical cruizer, capturing the schooner Constitution id this port, and landed her captain aud crew in an utterly destitute condition, on a bar on and uninhabited coast. It now falls to our lot to record a similar transaction relation to the schooner Dai t, captain M‘Lean, also of this port, the statement of which is given in a letter from captain M. to his owner, dated from Havana, De cember 6th, 1813. “I sailed from Aux Cayes, (says capt. M‘Lean,) on th,e 23d of last month, bound home, but scarcely had I got clear of the harbor, when 1 was boarded by a set of pirates armed, who took possession of my vessel, and after beating me and my crew in a most barbarous manner, forced us be low and confined us in the forecastle for three hours, and it was with much difficul ty I escaped being muidered. They then commenced plundering and searching the vessel for money; they took from me all the proceeds of ——'s meal and tobacco, which was in cash, five bags of coffee be longing to you, one half of my provisions and cabin stores, my boat and oars, flying jib, all my spare rigging, tarpoulin, boom tackle, and deck tackle falls and runner, not leaving me a spat e rope yarn onboard. Thev also took all my cloths except the suit 1 had on, together with money I had. They served the mate equally as bad, and took his quaorant likewise. They then' made a proposition to my sailors tu join them iti taking the vessel from me, 4 and setting myself arid the mate ashore, pro mising them a thousand dollars,per w*ek for the services. The people refusing to join them, they then said that they would watch us narrowly, and if we attempted to return to Aux Cayes, that they would* board ns again and murder every soul on board; which I verily believe they would have done; at all events not wishing to put them to the trial, I proceeded to sea in my destitute cundtion. Alter being out 14 days, during which we experienced a con tinuation of blustering weather, knowing that ray vessel was not in a situation tor comiug on the coast in winter, and being off this harbor in * heavy gale fiom north, which is directly on shore, I thought prop er to put in to supply myself with such things as the vessel required.” "the justice of executing Aiiiuthnot and AinhristiT- If is a >h.t,- paper eralifying to the pride of the nation, while it vindi cates with unanswerable arguments, the steps pursued by our gallant forces oq our southern bortlere.
