A bag of coffee marked P. B. it. Co. with the figure 2 over the top; part of a loaf of sugar; a bunch of large store- keys, and a part of the contents of a trunk of ready made clothing is all the proper ty known to be taken. It is probable the thieves were interrupted in their labors as a bag of coffee was left on the steps of the store. The store was entered by the win dow. General Lafavette arrived at Wash ington on the 1st insrant, from Baltimore. Ho was met some miles on the Baltimore Road, by the carriage of the President of United States, in which he was conveyed to the capital, and proceeded immediately to the mansion of the President, whose guest he would be during his stay in Wash rngton. On the 2d instant, the General in com pany with the President of the United States, and tho Secretary of the Navy, vis ited the United States’ Ship Brandywine. Bow fitting out at this Nuvy Yard, in which the General is to take passage for France. He afterwards, received many visiters at the Mansion of the President; and in the evening attended a spiendid party at Major General Brown’s. During the General’s visit to Rultiinorc, ho was waited on by Edward Morgan, Esq. who presented him with a copy of the proceedings of a meeting of American citi zens in Buenos Ayres, on tho 16th Decem ber last, congratulating him in a handsome address, upon hiB arrival in the United | Greeks, only to tile Indians willing to emi- States, and deploring an absence which dc- i grate to the other side ot the Mississippi, prived them of the huppinosB of personally!

But what ever may be my actual duties, my future destinies, the kind and brilliant reception I have met with in the city of Lancaster, shall ever leave on my mind the impression of an unbounded gratitude.” Authentic intelligence from Trieste, un tier date of the 16th of* May, received by the National Journal, states that the opening of thepresont Campaign between the Greeks ind Turks has been very favoruble to the former. A band of robbers, to the number of fifty, has been organized in Upper Canada* whoso depredations have created much tlarm.

A furious mob in Bouton, armed with fclubs’ and bricks, ou the 23d and 20th ult. attacked several house* of ill fame, destroy- iirg the furniture, windows, &c. and driving the inmates into the street, and it was said intended to continue their operations.

You will no doubt hr. admitted to a free participation of the Council, nml will lie suffered to take with you under a suffi cient stile-guard, any of tlio friendly chiefs, whose presence there you may consider ne cessary to the accomplishment of the ob jects which the U. Slates and this govern ment have in view. There can be tlie less doubt of this, because the charges having been already made both by the executive uud legislative authority of Georgia against the Agent, und the Agent so far thought proper to have recourse to the Missionaries nod hostile Indians in tlie Nulinn fur Ins de fence ; nnd that defence being already bu fore the public, at the instance of tlio A- at its last meeting. The accused continu- uing to object, the Court was cleared for deliberation ; nml when tlie doors wero opened it was announced as tlio decision of the Court, that tlie papers might bo rend, but, in ordpr to give opportunity for tho Counsel oft lie accused to attend and object or reply to their contents, the rending should he deferred till to-morrow morning nt 10 o’clock: to which hour tlie Court then adjourned. Tut enty-third Day—Tueeday Avgust 2, Tlie Court assembled at 10 o’clock. The Counsel for Coin. Porter then put in a document objecting to the production iu evidence of the letters from him to the Sec retary of the Navy, dated October 12, and October 19, 1824, which were read yester day hy tlie Judge Advocate, and also of a letter from the same tn tho same, dated 25th March, 1825, which had net yet been read The grounds of the objection were, that the two former letters hud reference tu a misunderstanding between tlio Department and tlie accused, which lie hud supposed tu have been long agu terminated, and to be tn'iroly irrelevant to any o; the charges now preferred against him. Tlie letter of the 25th Marcli had also relation to matters of an entirely distinct character, and should.if received at all. be made tlio subject of a distinct cliurgo. Com. Porter bad waived the objections lie consideredjhiinself as huv lug a right to make against tite examina- ion of Mr. Monroe, because of the peculi ar circumstances in which he wus placed, and his desire to prevent any inferences to his prejudice which might be mude on the pebiic mind, by his adoption of that course. Ilul lie could nut allow this waiver to be considered as extending to every proposition of a similar character which might be bro’t forward against him. He denied the ne cessity for tlie production of these letters to explain those which he had produced to tlie Court on Saturday ; and contended, that although he had a right to bring forward a- ivy testimony within his reach to make his i ... . .. . . „ . fa fence more complete, tho prosecution had i 11 f‘ ie Untted - lates, ot arriving ot truth i It would afford me great satisfaction to id right to multiply evidence, the tendency i and doing justice to all parties.

Seaborn Jones, who is associated with us in the commission, by tho Governor of Georgia. Iu uhedionco lo tho instructions, (with a copy of which yuu have been furnished) we beg leave a- gain to call your attention to that part of those instructions by which it wns contem plated by the Governor, that we would be admitted toafree participation of the Coun cil of the Indians to be convened at Broken Arrow, as well as of that lately hold at the Indian Springs. We would repeat the re quest on our part, that we may be admitted to that Council. In your letter of the 21st iust. in answer to a similar request made at thnt place, you say, “ I deem it proper, therefore, that I should exercise the entire control of every subject to be acted on, and of every expression littered to tho Council by any officer or citizen permitted to ad dress it, whether of the United States nr of any individual State or Territory. With, out such control, our Council would be in volvcd in confusion, and they would bu wholly useless, if not worse than useless.” Wo call your attention to this part of your letter, fortlie purpose of correcting a mistake under which you have fallen with regard to our motives and the course of cun. duct wo might pursue, in attending the Council.
