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. Pleasant Grove, Twjgjys county, June 8.

Jackson requested the officer to inform the gov ernor that he would answer him next morning, still continuing his march for Pensacola, where he arrived at 9 o’clock next day and took pos session of the town without opposition. On the third day the army reached the vicinity of the Barancas, reconnoitered the country and selected 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 pounders, which did but little injury. At three a flag was sent from the fort, when the firing ceased on both sides, and articles of capitulation entered into. Gen.

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.

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 factories of the steam company of Prin cess Anil, Maryland, supposed to be worth up wards of sixty thousand dollars, and a considera ble quantity of furniture and stock, have lately been destroyed by fire.

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.
