It com mences with, “ It is hereby announced that hostilities with the Indians, within this terri tory, have ceased,” and then proceeds to de fine the limits of the new reservation, agreed upon in the late treaty, made by him, with the Indians, “ in accordance with the in structions of the President of the United States.” This treaty gives the Indians a body of land extending from the mouth of Peas Creek, to the northern edge of Lake Istokpoga, thence to lake Oke-clio-bee, thence due south to the Gulf, and along the Gulf to the place of beginning. We bad scarce laid down the paper when we met the following appendix to the same news in the Milledgeville “ Recorder Now at the same time we are placed in possession from another part of our own and the same territory with accounts of a very different character. On the 11th inst., a party of whites were taken by surprise, the Executive is informed, we learn, within three miles of the line of Thomas county, in this State, when four whites and one black were killed, and the Governor is now called upon to protect our citizens ! When are we to have a termination to this state of things, and poor Florida be permitted to re pose in quiet I” It is to be regretted that someone of the numerous curious people who have kept meteorological tables” of the weather for the past five years, have not incorporated with their records of atmospheric phenome na, the equally variable and contradictory phases of the “ Florida war.” Who can tell how often it has been “closed,” “ ter minated,” and “ ended ?” Who can enume rate the many decisive victories, sur renders, treaties, &c., with which the public journals have teemed since the fall of 1535, when this disgraceful war broke out? Near ly every general officer who has yet had the direction of affairs in Florida, has “ hail the good fortune to bring to a close this long protracted and expensive war,” but as if to verify the old adage, “wait till you are out of woods before you hollow”—these heroes of the Peninsula have scarcely exclaimed with the redoubtable Furioso—“threash’djare our foes !” when their ears are assailed with the roport of “ more Indian murders!” “horrid massacre!” “renewal of hostilities!” &c. Clinch, Eustice, Gaines, Lindsey, Scott, Taylor, Harney, Armistedand Worth, have all had a trial, still are the Scminoles unsubdued; and now we are the humiiia tingspectaclc of our government proposing terms to the remnant of an insignificant tribe of Indians—terms which can be re garded in no other light than an humble concession on our part. The war has been one of conquest, for territory—or in other words, to enforce the fulfilment of a treaty —however fraudulently negotiated —by which territory was ceded to our govern ment. Seven years have been consumed in fruitless campaigns, in which several mil lions of treasure, and much of the best bl<x>d of the country have been expended, to aay nothingof the thousands of invalids tliatjbave been made by the hardships and privations endured intheswampsaiul hammocks of Flo rida; and now are we told that anew trea ty has been made, by which the Indians arc guaranteed in the possession of a tract of country, if not quite so extensive, equally as desirable as that for which they have so long contended.

Since writing the above We have met the folio wing from the Tallahassee Sentinel. “ Important. —On Thursday morning the 11th instant Messrs. John Sandwich, James McMillan, 11. Sessions, St. David Rowel and a Mr. Pindar, of Jefferson county, were out hunting, when they wore attacked by about 40 Creek Indians who were lying in ambush. Sandwich and Rowel, who were, •eparated from the others and awaiting their arrival, were first fired upon, one killed on the spot—the other though badly wounded made his escape and gave the alarm. The Other three, unconscious of the fate of their comrades, on approaching the spot of dan- Jer, were fireu upon and all wounded. fessrs. McMillan and Sessions escaped, but l’indar was overtaken and bis brains beat out. “ The Indians then proceeded to thehouse of Mr. H. Womble, killed a Mr. Kennedy and one negro, and wounded two others, one of whom has since died. ” Col. W. J. Bailey, with ten or fifteen men, attacked them near the Gum Swamp, on the afternoon of the same day. The In dians made a vigorous resistance, and on the first fire wounded severely, three of our men. The whites were shortly reinforced by ten or fifteen horsemen, when the enemy were driven into the swamp with some loss on both sides. Six whites were wounded, one of whom, Mr. Walton Blackburn, we regret to learp, has since died. , Mr. Mc- Millen, it was also feared, would not re cover. The Indians plundered the house of Mr. Ham, and burned that of Mr. Sand wich. “ Cols. W. and W. J. Bailey raised a company of 75 volunteers; and, at last ac counts, were in hot pursuit of the enemy, with determination to continue the chase until they were overtaken. The citizens of Thomas and Lowndes, with praise worthy feelings, joined their standard. We hope the miscreants may be overtaken and slain. Will the Government still hold on to the delusion that the war is closed 1” OjT* Wonder who did teach the “ young ideas” of Savannah how to shoot] It seems they ain’t to be beat “nohowyou can fixed it.” They have recently had two trials of rifle shooting with the “ Macon Leatherstocking Club”—who are also “ hard to beat”—and in both instances won the prize. The Bal timore Republican has recently been brag ging of the target firing of two Artillery com panies in that city, upon which the Savannah Republican gives some exploits of the Chat ham Artillery in that way, which beats the Baltimore boys “ all hollow.” The Balti moreans fired forty-six shots at a target, size not mentioned, distance 350 yards, putting twelve balls in the targets. The Savannah ians fired thirty-three halls, with brass six pounders, at a five-foot target, distance 400 yards, nineteen of which hit the target, and three the bull’s-eye, which was only eight inches in diameter. We do not hail from Savannah ourself, but our associate is a na tive. Off* By the late post-office law, the scale regulating the postage of newspapers has been so regulated that all papers of and un der the size of the New York “ Courier and Enquirer” will be carried at the minimum rate of one cent. Those of a larger, size will be charged at a graduated rate of in csease, which will make the postage on one of the mmamoth weekly sheets—“ Brother Jonathan,” or “Boston Notion” for instance —l7 cents. Q5 te ’ Captain Tyler’s manner of “ return ing bills with objections,” is becoming quite fashionable—we recently had one, a very moderate one for advertising a public house returned to us. A fellow in New Orleans says he will “ return with objections” any bill presented to him in future, no matter where it originated. He will, however, consider two sheriffs and five constables a majority of two-thirds, and any action they may take on the bills vetoed, will be “cheer fully acquiesced in” by him ! a comlescen tion only equalled by that of the Presi dent. - , Qj?” The two hills concerning the Army, the one making certain reductions in it, and the other making the ntinal appropriations for its support, have passed both Houses and now need only the signature of the President to become laws. Among the ef fects of the reduction bill are the following: to convert the Second Regiment of Dra goons into a Rifle Corps, to reduce the rank and file of the Army, to abolish the office of Commissary General of Purchases, and to reduce the number of Surgeons, Assistant Surgeons, and Paymasters.” The Charleston (S. C.) Mercury thus han dles Mr. Butts’ twelve articles of impeach ment : “ The two first articles of the aliove stupendous enumeration, might have some sense in them, if they contained any speci fications, but a man cannot be lawfully even charged, with a crime, except by naming the case—an indictment docs not lie fora mur derous disposition and a habit of hilling peo ple. The remaining ten articles might have been embraced in the pithy Mississippi in dictment “ for kicking up ad - -d fussgen erally.”’ What a change !—We are told, says the N. O. Crescent City, by a gentleman con versant with the business of the city, that stores were sold yesterday for four, five, six and seven thousand dollars, which three years ago, brought twenty thousand dollars each. The same paper says the fever is on the increase. This announcement is made on authority which may be implicitly relied up on.

Arrival of the ‘Britannia. ELEVEN DAYS LATER. The Britannia arrived in Boston at 4 o’clock, on the morning of the 19th instant. The news is of great importance. The overland mail bad arrived. The Duke of Nemours is to be Regent of France. The Christinos at Madrid are still ective against the Regent. It is understood that the Cortes will be dissolved and anew one elected about the month of November. China news to the 12th of April, and Singapore journals to the sth of May have been received. It was said that Yang, an imperial com missioner, was to offer 40,000,000 dollars as a compensation to the British for the ex pense of the war, and the surrendered opi um ; also ihe cession of Hong Kong as the price of peace. The Chinese had already commenced re moving the ruins and rubbish preparatory to rebuilding the Bogue forts. Some fighting had taken place at Ningpo, in which 1,100 British routed 6000 Chinese, with the loss of from 5 to 700 slain. We had three killed, 40 wounded. The Agra Ukbar, of June 4, says, that it was reported that on army of observation would be assembled at Allahabad in the en suing cold season. Among the items of intelligence which have reached us from Scinde, and which may he depended on as authentic, are an announcement that a large army, said to be 25,000 strong, is advancing from Mushed to Herat, and that very suspicious conferences are, being held at Hydrabad, between the Amees and others, requiring the most vigi lant. attention of Major Outran). We havenews from Jellalabad to the 29th of May. Akbar Khan had demanded 10,- 000 rupees for General Elphinstone’s re mains. The Delhi Gazette of the 14th of May mentions that they had been interred on the 30th April, within the walls of Jella labad. Akbar Khan claims the Dost Ma hommed be sent back, and tliat we evacuate the country, leaving an agent to Cabul in exchange for the English captives. The army, it was thought, would not leave the place until they moved to Cabul, there to meet Gen. Nottfrom Candahar. The Ivhyber Pass was being re-occupied by the Afreedes, and the whole road to Ca bul stockaded and defended by all the ob structions the enemy could oppose. Captain Mackenzie has returned to Jella labad on the 9th of May from Lugbman, with terms for the release of the prisoners. General Sale’s victory over Akbar Khan had struck such terror into the minds of the people that it was thought our troops might have moved on to the capital without resis tance, had not the force been deficient in ev ery requisite for so large an army. A letter from Sauger of the 26th of May announces tbe Booddelabs to hare fled into the territory of Scinda. The East. —lntelligence from Alexandria of the 6th states, that Said Pasha, the son of Mehemit Ali, a youth of 22 years of age, had been appointed admiral-in-chief of the Egyptian fleet. The Viceroy had suffered a serious loss by tbe death of Selim Bey, one of the most distinguished ofticeis in the Egyptian army, and getieral-tn-chief of the artilleiy, who died of a coup do soliel, in the 33d year of his age. The plague con tinued to rage at Alexandria. Athens letters of the 10th state that the Greek ministers, finding the treasury nearly empty, were about to apply to the French government for anew loan. They had, moreover, adopted extreme measures of severity against such persons as were in ar rear of their government taxes. It was said that in Messina alone 3,000 individuals had been arrested. The Augsburg Gazette states, from Con stantinople, June 29, that the British Am bassador had a conference with tbe Reis Effendi on the affairs of Greece and Syria. It is supposed that the Divan will agree t< the proposals of England to invest the eld est son of Emir Beschir with tbe sovereigni ty of Lebanon. The Greek question was evaded,by the,Reis Effendi. The Porte has addressed a circular letter to the diplomatic corps, intimating that in future no journal either in tbe French or Greek languages shall be allowed to appear without a special license, even though such journals should be under the protection of sovereign power. Private letters from Constantinople of the 14th ultimo, announce that the Scban of Persia is making preparations for the war against Turkey, and that a Persian army is to march against England, and another a gainst Eizerum. Troops had already march ed from Teheran to Amedan on their way to Bagdad. It appears that the cause of quarrel is a disputed boundary line, and that tbeSchan had forwarded an ultimatum to the Porte, signifying his intentiou to take possession of the territory in dispute, if it were not ceded to him by the sth of Octo ber. In the meantime the Turkish Pasha of Erzerum (the contiguous frontier) was preparing for defence. A body of 300 reg ular troops were collected, and the militia were being armed. Extraordinary Express from Paris. —We have just received by Extraordinrry Express from Paris, the following important intelli gence in anticipation oi the Overland Mail from Marseilles i Paris, August 2. The Indian mail brings news from Bom bay of June 10, from Jellalabad of May 17, from China 7 days later than last. Lord Ellenborough had written an order for the force to evacuate Jellalabad, which had been construed into a determination to abandon the country beyond the Indus. General England’s force reached Canda har on the 9th of May, and hail relieved Kelatti Ghllzie. China news is of the 12th April. The British had attacked and de feated the Chinese beyond Ningpo. Sir H. Gough was about to move on the capital of Chekeary. Dreadful buricanes at Calcutta, whence there is news of the 6th.

An attempt to get np n potent tiers parti under tbe quklance of Messrs. Dufaure and Passy, has failed, as only twenty-four De puties attended a meeting conveyed by the chiefs. Tbe struggle in the Cfhamber of Deputies will therefore be confined to tbe supporters of tbe present Cabinet, and the extreme gone Its, and it is not difficult to for see that it roust end in the discomfiture of the latter.

It is an exceedingly gratifying duty to- an nounce this week a much more healthful feeling in our market. All sorts of goods are going.off well and higher rates are ask ed.

In Scot land, too, there are marks of revival—the harvests every where abundant and early.” LATE FROM MEXICO AND TEXAS. We make the following extracts from the New Orlear.s Crescent City of the 21st instant. “ The schooner Endeavor, Capt. Logan, arrived at the levee yesterday in four days from Galveston. We received a copy of the Galveston Civilian of Saturday last, through the polite attention of a passenger, to whom we aie also indebted for several items of news. “TheU. S. brig of war Boxer had ar rived at Galveston from Vera Cruz. Col. Cook and Capt. Houghton, of the Santa Fe Expedition, came passengers in her, The remainder of the prisoners had embarked for Galveston on hoard a Mexican schooner, commanded by an American, but were pre vented from sailing, in consequence of an order received at Vera Cruz, from Santa Anna, laying an embargo on all vessels in port, which are required for the transporta tion of 7000 troops to Yucantan, to recon quer that recusant province. “ A special messenger had been sent to the city of Mexico, informing the President that they had already embarked and that it would be dangerous for them to .return, as the fever was raging in Vera Cruz, and carrying off numbers daily. No answer had been received when the Boxer left, but it was the current opinion that Santa Anna would permit them to sail forthwith. “ The news of the virlory of the Mexi cans at Lepantitlan had been received at the city of Mexico, and as we predicted, great rejoicings ensued. The banners were dis played from the capitol—the big guns were fired—and the whole city illuminated. The following day the troops were reviewed by Santa Anna, who harrangued them on the glorious path before them, saying the road to Texas was the road to victory! The “Napoleon” is playing a deep game, but he may rest assured of one thing, that when the neighing of his war steed is again heard on the banks of the Colorado, as Gen. Ham ilton beautifully expressed it, “ head him or die” will be the watchword of every “wolf hunter” iu tbe country. “ The new steamer from England was daily expected at Vera Cruz, and it. was thought probable the Yucatan expedition would be delayed until its arrivak Business was very dull in Vera Cruz. We can glean little of interest frotti the Texas papers. As usual, there is a thousand rumors afloat. A general stagnation of bu siness is the only news. We have now a letter before us from a friend in Galveston, declaring it to be his. firm conviction that there is not sufficient money in the country to carry on the government, and that tlie talk about invasion of Mexico is ridiculous. The Civilian, speaking of the treaty with Great Britain,says s “ The American Charge d’AAaircs here has received a communica tion from his Government, advising him of the fact that the U. S. Minister in Mexico has been directed to use his best exertions to bring about a peace between Mexico and Texas, and instructing him (the Charge here) to recommend and urge upon our government the delay of measures of active offensive war upon Mexico until the result of these negotiations can be known. When two great nations such as England and the United States, go to work in earnest to achieve the same object, they are very apt to accomplish it.” Difference between Gab and Talent.—Flu ency in conversation, must not he assumed as a test of talent. Men of genius and wis dom, have been often found deficient in its graces. Adam Smith, ever retained in com pany, the embarrassed manners of it student. Neither Buffon, nor Rosseau, carried their eloquence into society. The silence of the poet Chaucer, was held more desirable than his speech. The conversation of Goldsmith, did not evince the grace and tenderness, that characterizes his compositions. Thom son, was diffident, and often uninteresting. Dante, was taciturn, and all the brilliance of Tasao, was his pen. Descartes, seemed formed for solitude. Cowley, was a quoir.t observer, his conversation was slow and dull, and liis humor reserved. Hogarth and Smith, were absent minded, and the studious Thomas Baker, said he was fit for no com munion, save with tlie dead. Our own Washington, Hamilton, and Franklin, were deficient in that fluency which fascinates a ’ promiscuous circle. % One of the good things in Theodore Hook’s last, is where, speaking of railroads and steamboats, both of which lie frequently signifies hf abhorrence, be says they anni hilate both space and time, as the newspe pets say, not to mention a multitude of pas sengbrs besides. f Avgustina rragema A t the siege af Sarragossa, in the year ISG9, Augustine Sarragossa, about twenty-two years of age, a handsome woman of the lower class fef people, whilst carrying refreshments so she gates, arrived at the battery of tbe JjortiTlo, at the very moment when the French fire had absolutely destroyed every person that was stationed in ib TneeitiZefts and soldiers for tbe moment hesitated to reman the guns; Augustinarushedforward oyer the wounded and tbe slain, snatched a mateh from the hand of a dead artilleryman, awd fired off a twenty-six pounder; then jumping upon thf gun, made a solemn vow never to quit it alive dining tlie siege; and haying stimula ted her fellow-citizens, by this daring intre pidity, to fresh exertions, they instantly rushed into the battery, and agaju opened a tremendous fire on the enemy. For her heroism on this occasion, she af terwards received tlie surname of “Sarra gossa,” a pension from the government, and the daily pay of an artilleryman.
