The mortality from this epidemic, although
great in this vicinity, has not been as great as
perhaps has been represented ; indeed not so
great in proportion to the number attacked, as
has attended its prevalence in many other places.
In my practice, out of between 120 ami 130 cases
of which I took notes, the proportionate mortality
was as one in seven. A. K. W’EBURtt.

to the attack on Pensacola the governor sent an

his supposed intensions of attacking that place.
Jackson requested the officer to inform the gov

still continuing his march for Pensacola, where
he arrived at 9 o’clock next day and took pos

a suitable place for a breast work about -100 yards
from tiie fort, where shortly after night a party
of men were set to work. About 10 o’clock they
were discovered and fired on by the enemy from
the fort, which was returned from a howitzer
posted m the rear of a hill above the breast work,
and continued at intervals during the night. At
day light next morning,theSpauiards commenced
firing on the breast work with Avo twenty four

Fellow Soldiers,—You were called iyto the
field to punish savages and negroes, who had, in
a sanguinary manner, used the tomahawk and
scalping kuite, upon our helpless "citizens, on the
frontier.—You have pursued them to Mikisuky,
St. Marks, Sewanev, and lately to this place,
through an unexplored wilderness, encounter
ing immense difficulties and privations, which
you met, with the spirit of American soldiers,
without a murmur.—Your General anticipated a
close of the campaign on his return to Fort Gads
den ; and hailed the hour with feelings of
gratitude to heaven, at the prospect of relieving
you from your labors, bv placing you in quarters
and returning you to your hollies. Hut how
great was the disappointment, when he heard of
the recent murders committed on the Alabama,
by a party of the enemy from Pensacola, where
they were furnished with provisions and ammu
nition by a friendly power. Under this state of
tilings, you were marched here encountering
difficulties which you alone can properly
appreciate. Meeting on the way the protest
of the Governor of West Florida, threatening to
employ force if we did not immediately evacu
ate the country. This new and unexpected en
emy was soon taught to feel the impo
tence of his threats. You entered Pensacola
without opposition, and the strong fortress
of the Barancas could hold out but one day a-
gainst your determined courage. Your General
cannot help admiring the spirit and military zeal
sentenced to be hung. Several others were sen
tenced to severe punishment. It Is stated the
negroes robbed the house of the deceased of a
large sum of money, it is believed not less than
815,000, a small part of which has beefi recovered.
Pensioners.—The following notice is published
by the War Department: “ It is expected that
the Judges will certify, as well to the reduced
circumstances, as to the continued services of
nine months, required by the law of the 18th
March, 1818 ;and pensions will invariably be re
fused, unless the declarations of the applicant
.dialI be accompanied by such certificates. The
applications for pensions belonging to ' ew-
Hampshire, New-York, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina, Sotith-Car-
olitia, and Georgia, will be delayed, until further
evidence of their service shall have been receiv
ed from the several executive offices of the state.”

The London Courier states, that a curious
dispute has arisen respecting the possession of
the remains of the venerated patriot General Kos
ciusko. The Prince TubloHowaky arrived at
Solenre on the llitf: ult. in order to claim the bo
dy, foi the purpose of receiving funeral, honors
in Poland, When the Generals executor unexpect
edly protested against the removal, alledging
that Kosciusko hud expressly desired to be buried
witli simplicity, and had chosen Switzerland for
the interment of hjs remains. Thus the affair
appears to rest for the moment.
