K0REH5N. Gibraltar, Sept. 14.—The Peacock, captain Rodgers, lias been at Tripoli, and I believe has had cotnmu ificatinn. Mr. Sluder, our consul ge neral, was with the Peacock. Captain Gamble, late of the Erie, is ill in the hospital -established at Pazza. Roth the Spark and tlie United States were in here, a few days since, for supplies ; the latter sailed again on the 2d, and the former on the 8th. The Spark has lately undergone a tho rough repair at Leghorn and is now full rigged. The Franklin 74. commodore Stewart, arrived on the9thinst. and sailed again yesterday morning, tojoin the United States, Erie, and Spark, off Cape de Gatt. When the Franklin came down, she spoke-thc United States oft' Cape de Gatt, and left the Erie, lieutenant Gallagher, in Almeira bay. It is supposed they are bound on to the Barbary coast, on a cruize. It is calculated that from 25.000 to 50,000 per sons have died of the plague in the province of Oran. The report of a battle having been fought be tween Boyer, president of the Hathin republic, and Christophe, who was said to have been de feated with the loss of 4000 men, is a fabrication. A letter, dated Havana, October 17, says— t; Two hundred men of the Havana regiment and two hundred men of the Ta agona, are to go from here in about thirteen days, to receive Pensacola from the Americans. The Dev of Algiers has resorted to a most sin gular expedient for re-peopling the desolation of his capital thinned as it has been by the recent scourge of war and the plague- A certain num ber of young men are every morning brought to the most public place in the city, and there pre sented with the choice either of receivin. tinudo or a wife. leagues up the aver Trinity, and in the vicinity of the ground chosen by general Lallemand fur his military camp, is a town, containing near 500 houses’, occupied by Indians and Spaniards, called Trinity, distant from St. Antonio, in the province of J/exico, about 120 leagues. The uumber of Lnllemand’s followers still keeps in creasing, bv the addition ot fugitive Frenchmen, who find an asylum in this establishment. Nei ther provisions, money or arms, are said to be wanting; and the patriot privateers, cruising in the Gulf of .Mexico, deposit their surplus prize goods, the produce of tiie West Indies, at this spot, between whom anil the new settlers the most friendly relations subsist.— IK City Gnz. Oeiur.il Gnines, Ills lady and suit, (says the Darien Ga zette ot the 2d mst.) arrived in this place on Frida) last, and set off next day tor Amelia Island. It is supposed that lie will fix his head-quarters at Feruatvlina tor two ot three months, and that two battalions ot United States’ troops are on their way to join him. Tins would seem to indicate something; and, if conjecture might be hazard ed, we would say, lie will, at that post aw.i t the decision of congress on the Klondas, and act according.

Honored sir,—1 hasten to lay before your de- jia 1 tment some statements relative to the late battle fought with a band of Indians, consisting of 70 warriors, and their women and children From the best information that 1 have received, they are a remnant ofthe hostile Creeks, who on finding they could no longer be protected in Florida, latel y applied to the Chicka-avv tribe for land to settle on ; but, being denied, they formed a resolution to fight their way through our settle ment*, over the .Mississippi, where they’were told by the Chickasavvs, they could get land. In order to execute their design, they crossed the rivers Alabama and Cahaba, and on their way to the Warrior they ki led two white men and three Chocktaws. On reaching this river, at a place called Cornel’s settlement, they committed se veral outrages on our citizens, and murdered some of the family of a ,1/r. Hall. They then steered their course for this place. Having re ceived intelligence of their approach, on the 16th inst. 16 of uur most enterprising men armed themselves, and chose major S. Taylor and my self to command them. We were joined i.y captain Bacon and 14 men. Being thus united we went in pursuit, and having met w ith their trail, we followed it through swamps and cane brakes, heretofore thought to be impenetrable, un til we found where they had crossed the Warri or, 8 miles below the falls. Alter crossing and marching 4 miles through the most horrid swamps and cane brakes, and being separated from capt. Bacon’s command, we discovered the ene. y en camped in a beaver dam, well fortified by nature, there being a thick cane break on the right, and high bluff on the left. They no sooner saw us than thev raised a war whoop, and prepared for action. We then gave orders to charge on them, which was done with the spirit of true Americans. tlmusa d share* more shall be reserved for the state until tire 1st of January, 1825, ou the ori ginal terms, then or at any prior tune to be taken by the state, according to the pleasure of the general assembly, whereby the state at any sub sequent election shall be entitled to five additi onal directors.
