Mr. Herrick withdrew his first mo*ior,, air.1 |moved that the accused be furnished with a copy the etter which was' the ground of this pro- hordes. Gen. Glascock immediately ordered opt a detachment under Maj. Morgan, in pursuit of the Indians. By a letter from Col. Arbuckle of the lSlh in stant, i learn, that the Indians were to assemble near the month of Flint river, on the 21st, for the purpose of concerting measures for the destruc tion of the inhabitants on the Cliatahouchie, and the reduction of Fort Scott. The latter thev calculated upon starving out. Fort Gaines, it was apprehended, would be attacked. One of the inhabitants (Mr. Weaver,) had been killed near the Fort; a house had been burnt, and some other property destroyed. The det-y-hioeut and vessels under Maj.

To the hon. Henry Clay. Ihe letter having been read, Mr. Forsyth moved that tho resolutions under consideration be laid on the table, that House might pro ceed to the examination of the accused person.

Tlie House of Reppesentatives lias found it self. almost without knowing it, and certainly without the advantage of having anticipated it, engagei in the discussion of a question of great magnitude, regarding their own powers ami the rights of the citizen, as involved in tlie case of Col. Anderson. The debate of yesterday, left on our minds the impression of great respect for the talents now composing the representative bo dy—it was, in fact, a continued display of abili ty and eloquence. The debate is not terminated, though it appears to us so much light was shed upon the question yesterday, that it w ill, not be much further prolonged. 1 lie questions debated art*, first', the legality of tlie warrant issued in tlie first instance, and secondly, the power of the house to pursue with punishment (and of course its power to recognize) any contempt •committed beyond tlie walls of the house.

It was deliberately resolved in a large Council of toe Seminules and “ Red Sticks” at Mickusukee, that the offenders should heither be punished nor surrendered. Some of their Chiefs have triumphantly as serted, that we cannot beat them ! that we never have beaten them, except when we had •* lied People to help us.*’ It is not extraordinary they should entertain these opinions—they know lit tle or nothing of the strength or resources of our country—-and whatever information they have derived from their white friends (British Officers and Traders) could have no tendency to give them favorable impressions towards us. They must be beaten before we can reasonably calculate upon peace. It is well known that seven of our citizenr, were killed by those Indians in tlie two years immediately succeeding the late war with England. I'heir Chiefs admitted this, anil that among tlie number was a woman and two chil dren (Mrs. Garrett of this state.) The principal Chief, Chapichimico, in notify ing the Warriors of the resolution of the Chiefs in Council, added that, “ the day never should come when lie would give up or punish a red man tor killing a white man.” These facts have beeti communicated to me by Indians, and through interpreters who I believe to be men of truth-ni-r have I n doubt but these facts were well known to these philanthrophic writers of Peace, who have had the sagacity to discover, that hos tilities were commenced by the troops under my command, on the 2-JtK of November last—and that we are the aggressors. It is not an act of war, according to this doc trine, to massacre and scalp seven unoffending persons, and among them a woman and Her in fants ! \Vhat huinber then, I would ask, the massacre of which, would constitute an act ol war ? Sir, my own humble impressions upon this subject are, that the wanton massacre of an infant not yet able to lisp the enviable declara tion of “ I am an American Citizen,” should be as promptly avenged, as if fifty, or fifty ihou- sand citizens had been thus massacred. When reparation is refused by the Nation (whether red or white, civilized or savage) to whom the of fenders belong—the Nation itself becomes ac countable, and should be chastised for the out rage. I have little confidence in the expectation of obtaining any considerable aid from the friendly only the commander of the same and seven sol diers escaping. A second one was immediately afterwards despatched to said plains, and only its chief and two drumm-u’s could escape from this loss.

Her heath must be a severe disappointment to the British nation, as it renders extremely uncertain who will be the successor of the prince regent, to the throne. It is remarkable that although the twelve eldest children of the present king are all living, viz. seven sons and five daughters, the youngest of whom is more than forty years old, not one of them has a legitimate child living. The succes sion goes, on the death of the prince regent, to the duke of York, who is married to a daughter of the late king of Prussia. This princess has never had any children, and is now 50 vears old. The two next sons of the king, the dukes of Cla rence and Kent, have never been married.— The duke of Cumberland is married but lias no children. The duke of Sussex was married in 1793 anil had a son and a dugliter, but his marriage was not according to the forms required by law, and has been declared void, and his children arc of course illegitimate. The duke of Cambrid of Fractional Surveys or Town Lots in Mil ledgeville—it is Ordered, that notice of tlie same be given by public advertisement, in order that all persons may make their arrangements accordingly, as immediately aftep tlie first day of March next, the proper qfficer^ will be directed to proceed a- gainst all such as are then in arrears.

Tlie king has one nephew only, who is 41 years old, and one niece who is 44, and is unmarried. There is one consequence of the death of the princess Charlotte, 01 some political importance.
