he British Mediation.—The basis of the ne
gation for Great Hritain, to mediate between
in and her colonies, has been definitively
tied bv the five great continental powers,
ugh it is evident that the protocol was pre-
eu by the cabinet of St. James, if wc are to
governed by his features. The conditions which
to be prescribed to the colonies for acknowl-
ing the supremacy of Spain, are said to be as
lows:
, The establishment of provincial assemblies.
2. A large proportion uf natives to fill offices,
. All taxes to originate with the colonies.
4. A free trade with all the world.
5. Cultivation, export and import, to be regU-
cd by the people of the colonies in their assem-
es.
if these arc the conditions which five great
wers have decided upon, it must be evident
t the hopes of Ferdinand the /tli rest on a ve-
slendei basis, and that South America approx-
ates towards independence with a rapidity
t Europe cannot clieck or prevent, for such
ditions,amounted virtually to independence,
uld never be offered to weak and inefficient
ers. It is not to be denied that such are the
ditions which Great Britain would propose
a mediation,' for while the hopes of legitimacy
uld be maintained-«-while the shadow of roy-
y would be supported, and the new republics
id receive a shock, trade, the grand desider-
um, would be left free for commercial nionop-
s or commercial influence and a check still
Id on the provinces, to prevent any opposition
European confederacies. Such conditions
ould only be offered a people who had the
cans of freedom within their grasp, and of
hose eventual independence no doubt could be
ntertained. If the Patriots of South America
an be seduced by such tempting offers, then they
re incapable of estimating the value of the liber-
for which they are contending. The struggle
not for provincial governments, internal taxa-
ion and free trade: it is for substantial indepen-
cnce—it is to be released from the yoke of mon
archy—t.f European control; to be, in short,
ree and sovereign, not in part, but in the whole,
o have their independence acknowledged, and
heir governments accredited. If the Patriots
ecept these conditions, and put up their swords,
cknowledge the jurisdiction of Ferdinand, with
is character and his views, they will enjoy them
o longer than lie can tread out the last spark of
berty, by punishing rebels, and fix more strong-
tlie yoke around their necks. If they can be
ius influenced in the moment of success, then
icy never entertained correct notions of inde-
ndenep.
Great Britain will tranquilly urge these con
itjons.because they appear to benefit the patriots
hiletliey actually favqr European control, and,
t the same time, commerce cart be the more rcad-
ly monopolized. Should thev, however, be re
used, the British cabinet will take no measures
o enforce them, as their object is to make mo
ey out of mediation or independence, and this
independence they will be the first to acknow-
■dge for interest,o| - attempt to destroy fruinthc
me motive.—N. I’. Nut. Advocate.

JACKSON’S GENERAL ORDER.
Volunteers of West-Tcunessee ! Once more
after a repose of three years you are summoned
to the field. Your'country having again need for
your services, has appealed to your patriotism,
and you have met it promptly, l’lie cheerfulness

butchery of peaceable and unoffending citizens.
Brave Volunteers ! The enemy you are going
to contend with, you have heretofore met anu
fought. You have once done it, and can again
conquer them. You go not to fight but to be vic
torious ; remember then, that the way to prove
successful, is not by being inattentive to the first
duties of a soldiei, but by bearing and executing
witli cheerfulness the orders of your superiors,
and being constantly mindful of the obligations
you are under to yourcountry and to yourselves.
Subordination and attention to discipline are all-
important and indispensible ; without them, no
thing like system can be preserved, and this be
ing wanted, nothing favorable can result. But,
in you, every confidence is reposed. Your ge
neral will not believe that brave men, who have
so promptly c.iine forth at the cull of their coun
try, will withhold their assent to regulations
which can alone assure them safety and suc

and cheerfulness.
Your general goes before to open the way
and prepare for your reception. Confiding in
your diligence and exertions, he will expect your
arrival at your destined point, without unneces
sary delay—led by Col. Arthur P. Hayne, an
officer in whom lie' has every confidence—This,
being .effected, he will place himself at your
head, and with you share the dangers and hard

ANDREW JACKSON, inaj. gen. com’g.
A second Gen. Putnam—On the 29th January,
a bear was caught and taken from its den, in
Warwick Mountain, New-York, after a vigilunt.
search of eight days, by a party of Huntsmen
from Warwick. The bear had taken shelter in a
declivity of rocks of about forty feet depth. At
tempts were first made to get him oul by smoak-
ing, Ike. but without cft'ect. Dogs were then sent
into the hole, but they either retreated at his ter
rific aspect, or were destroyed by his grasp. At
length the Huntsmen finding all attempts to fright
himirom his retreat fruitless, blew the rocks over
the hole, and came within about sixteen feet of
the bear. These continued operations made him
fierce and terrible. After the hole blown
through the rock was sufficiently large to admit
the body of a man, John Ward Jun. crept into it,
placed lighted candles fixed upon the end of a
pole towards the bear and with a musket shot at
him, but without effect. lie descended a second
time and shot him in the fijre legs ; the bear at
each fire advanced towards the mouth of the hole
but Ward was net intimidated ; he descended
again and shot the Ferocious beast in the eye.
Ward Vvas now drawn out, the bear fiercely iol-
lowing him ; he instantly keized a rifle from the
hands of another Huntsman, and discharged its
contents into the head of the animal, which prov
ed fatal. He measured six feet from the nose to
the end of the tail, and weighed three hundred
and thirteen pounds.
Detroit, Jun. 9,—We fire informed flint the
secretary of war has communicated to gov. Cass
the determination of the president, that the In
dian trade, within the territory of the U. States,
shall be confined to citizens (native or natural
ized) to the different agents of this superinten-
dency, to license no person to trade with the
Indians who is not a citizen. This decisive
measure insures to ritir own people exclusively,
an important brhnch of trade within our own ter
ritories. It will soon be seen how fallacious were
the opinions, that sufficient American capital
coulfl not be found to supply the demands of this
trade. Its effects in apolitical point of view,
and upon the mi mis of the Indians, must be pro-
ductive of beneficial consequences; and taken
in connection with the ( corouianding attitude of
the United States, cannot fail of ensuring a con
tinuance of peace upon this frontier.

It gives us pleaslire to be able to state, that
there is no room for the intimation we have seen
in a Georgia paper, that the general government
has neglected to furnish the necessary, funds to
aid the operation of the forces employed against
the lmlidns. The Department of War, we
haw informed ourselves, has sent to that quar
ter upward* of thirty thousand dollars for the
quartet- blasters’ department; of sixty thousand
for the pay department; find of a hundred thou
sand for the contractor’s department. ■ Ample
remittances will, no doubt, be made to meet the
current expenses of the campaign,so soon as the
military appropriation bill for 1818 is passed.
Meanwhile, the passage of that act has been de
layed by the' disagreeing votes of the two Houses
ot Congress, on a particular clause of the bill.
The difference is not vet reconciled. One House
has already resolved & adhere to its own ground.
If the Senate follows its example, the whole bill
is rejected, and must be originated de novo.
National Intelligencer. Feb. 14.
The House of Representatives begin to proceed
expeditiously. In the course of yesterday they
gave t)ie coup-de-grace to the resolutions offered
by Mr Johnson of Kentucky, e.firly in the session,
for providing for the widows of the regular sol
diers killed ia battle; For donations of land to
the disbanded officers ; for establishing three ad
ditional military academies; for organizing a
corps of invalids ; for reducing the peace esta
blishment to 8000 men ; and for giving a small
additional compensation to the officers of the ar
my. It is not a subject of regret, that these
propositions were not: debated, since their fate
seemed to have been foreseen yesterdfiv. by the
mover ; and the disposal of them has cleared 'the
way for othfir topics of great importance before
the house; among, which,(besides business Of
course and incidental business, may be mention
ed thd uniform bankrupt bill; the, expatriation,
bill; the Georgia claim for militia services ; the
Massachusetts claim for ditto ; the report on in
ternal improvements; the judiciary subject; the
bill to provide .for the punishment of crimes
against, the United States ; bill for the .organiza
tion of the militia; the question respecting the
disputed seats of members," who held offices since
their election, and a long list of et-beteras.-—Ib.
The bill reported.in the House of Representa
tives by Mr. Forsyth, from the Committee to
whom was referred so much of the President’s
Message as relates to the cAmmehclal intercourse
between the United States and the British West
India islands, and possessions in North Ainer
ica, was wortfiy of more particular notice, than
from its technical title of “ a bill supplementary
to the act regulating duties on imports and ton-
age, &c.” we gave to it. ■ It is a literal trans
cript, we believe, of the bill reported by the same
committee ..at the last session ; which was ably
debated, but was laid over as deserving more ma
ture consideration. Few subjects of tlie present
session are likely to excite more interest than this
bill for countervailing the British Colonial Pol
icy ; if we except perhaps the bill for establish
ing an uniform system of Bankruptcy, which
seems to be loudly demanded from all the com
mercial sections of the country.—Nat. Int.

The Washington City Gazette says, “ the Kc-
glisli newspapers contain an account of a smart
earthquake at St. Helena. Napoleon, We are
told, attempted to leave his residence on the oc
casion, but was prevented, it is said, by tlie senti
nels ; who, perhaps, thought the earthquake a
mere trick of Napoleon’s to effect his escape.
It is right enough to impute an earthquake
(says Mr. Niles) to “ French influence.’*, A
learned justice of the peace in Delaware once
said, in an electioneering harranjjue, that lhatin k
fluence had affected tlie price of shingles In the
swainps of Sussex county, and had also affected
the crops of corn, and believing that, one may
