LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
By the steamboat Florida, arrived from
Black Creek on Sunday, the latest intelligence
from Gen. Je.sup’s head quarters, near Jupiter
Inlet, is to the 1st inst., from which it appears
that there were encamped about half a mile
from the General’s position, upwards of 200
Indians, men, women and children, under the
chief Tus-ke-gee, awaiting some decision in
reference to them, consequent on propositions
which they made early in February.
a letter received in this city from a source en
titled to credit, that they may learn the true
state of affairs in Florida.
Indian River Bar, March 2.
“ At jjresent there is a quasi peace with the
Indians. Hostilities have ceased, but how
long this state of affairs may continue, I can
not conjecture. There are said to be 5 or GOO
Indians, (women, children and warriors,) at or
near Gen. Jesup’s Camp, at Jupiter Inlet,
with whom he was having a talk. The con
ference may or may not terminate in their
agreeing to abide the decision of the President
as to remaining or removing West of the Mis
sissippi. The proposition of Gen. Jesup is,
that he will recommend to the President that
the Indians be permitted to remain in Florida,
but if the President refuses, then the Indians
must go. If the Indians agree to this propo
sition, then there is a probability that the war
may soon be over.”
for the remaining GO miles. If 70 miles of
road be completed, and 100 graded in a period
of 2G months, there can be no reasonable
doubt of the building of the whole 200 miles
of road long before the expiration of the time
limited by charter. The engineer in chief is
of opinion that the whole work can be accom
plished by the 1st day of January, 1841.

Falling off in Commerce.—The value of
imports into Boston in 1836 was 825,898,000 :
in 1837 only $14,590,000—little more than
one half. The exports, on the contrary, were
$6,917,013, being near two millions more than
in 1S3G. The duties received at the Custom
house for the imports amounted to $2,578,529.
The goods imported this year, probably will
not amount to half the imports of 1S3G.

A letter of the 30lh tilt., from St Peters
burg, published in the Frankfort! Journal,
states that a destructive fire broke out, on tbe
previous evening, in the winter palace. As
soon as the conflagration which soon extended
throughout the whole of the palace was per
ceived, the Empress and the Grand Dutchess
Marie (the Emperor’s daughter) took refuge
in the Hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
whilst the Emperor accompanied by the Grand
Duke (his eldest son) and the Grand Duke
Michel personally gave the necessary directions
for extinguishing the Unities, which were for
tunately prevented from communicating with
cither the Hermitage or the buildings adjoin
ing the winter palace. That magnificent bull
ing itself was however, totally destroyed. The
Emperor and his family afterwards .establish

upon tbe occupant rights of the Indians in this State, and
that many of them, nfter enrolling for emigration, are pre
vented from removing to the country provided Rif them in

Ami whereas such conduct is in violation of tlie Ia\**,-
the principles of justice and humanity—highly injurious ter
the prosperity of the State, by preventing tlie speedy de

upon the people of the Cherokee counties evils of the
greatest magnitude—
I have therefore thought projier to issue this my procla

rin' in securing to the Indians the quiet enjoyment of their
bouses nnd fields until the 23d of Mny next, and their
peaceable and unobstructed removal from the State, so far
as mav be permitted by the laws, noon their enrolling for
emigration; and calling upon all good citizens of the
Cherokee country, as they regard their own security and
the preservation of their property, to aid in effecting these
objects.

f|MlE Grand Juror* selected on J rsvorn for the Term
-*- of this Court, beg leave to matkfe the following pre
sentments:
We have in the first place, exotfitheJ the report and
books of the Clerk of the Inferior Coort, and find them in
a condition altogether satisfactory ; we have likewise ex
amined the report nnd books of the County Treasurer ahd
find them correctly kept, and sustained bv the proper
vouchers from that report. Our County is not only free
from debt, and from any pecuniary liability, hut we have
on hand a siu-piti# fund of eight hundred and ninety-one
dollars and fifty cents, together with the whole tnx which
shpll nrisc for the pre-out year; an amount that xsiR morh'
than defrav tbe annual ctirrenl expenses. \\ ith this'view
ol the condition of ou • financial concert:#, we would recom
mend to our Inferior Court, the propriety of gelling any
land belonging to the County, in such parrels or lots, as
will likely secure the greatest amount of money, and that
the proceeds of snid sale, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, be added to our surplus fund now in band, and
that said Inferior Court cause such additions or improve
ments to be made to' the present (.'ourt-hrmse or Court-
ground. ns shall conduct to the accommodation of the
Court and the sei»en«l Jurors, and to the citizens generally,-
in their attendance upon the administration ot tlie laws of
the country. But in this recommendation we would not
bo understood to shy,-that nny extra t::x should be levied
for the accomplishment of this object.
We would remind our Inferior Court, that an extrat
tax has been collected for the rebuilding of a Jail, and
hope they will use the necessary vigilence in having the'
work done at a period as early ns practicable. We would
also sav to the Inferior Court, as the time is fast approach
ing when the Georgia Railroad will he completed to Mad
ison, tli it now is a propitious season to have all our road*
placed in a good condition, in order that onr farmers may
be generally benefitted bv the accomplishment of this great
work of internal improvement.
In taking leave of his honor Judge Polliill and the So
licitor General, we would express our regard fid their
courtesy ami attention to our body, and for their vigilance
in the discharge of their official duties; hut we cannot fol
ly close our presentments without expressing onr unanim
ous ami entire 1 ppmbation for the promptitude with which
his honor Judge Tolldll acted, in imposing n tine upon all
dtifntiiting Jurors, and we hojK' that promptitude will not
bo relaxed in the collection of said tine?, unless good mid
legal cause be rendered.why thev should not be collected.
We concur fullv in opinion, that the public administration
of the laws of the country is intended for the benefit and
edification of the whale community, and that all should be
come spectators without the fear of molestation or even
the fear of being seized as o taliismnn to serve upon tbe

dear conviction that e.nlcss tlie law regulating the atten

The abundance of money is producing the

their capital, or upon tlie lending out of mo-

keen partially cleared of the late imports, the decline in
American 1<1 peril*, noticed in the circular of last week,
has nearly recovered, though perhaps tlie improvement has

lates against truth and common sense. The
route pursued is that first recommended by
Col. Cruger, in 1833, before the charter was
granted.
With the two millions already subscribed,
the road can be built 150 miles, and 500,000
dollars can be loft in banking. Ibe remain

and on those for short dates, and not the very
best of credit, a much higher rate of interest
was paid, amounting to 10 or 12 per cent or
more. The hankers and capitalists made an
excellent harvest on that occasion, and can ar-
ford a little reverse, if that were the only mat

been pointed out, to onr commerce and our in

pursuit, to a state of gambling or mere chance,
by the vicissitudes in the cuirency. The pe
