WMj far® tasliittilist 11rtl. BY JAMES GARDNER GEN ER AL NEWS. (From tAe JatA«oiii (uc Xcus, Ex:ra t Se/d. Ibt'i.) Great Excitement. TAe Steamer HcAihi Fired Intu—Th? Engineer. Reported io k Wounded. In anticipation of the steamer YYe.aka at tempting to run the quarantine established by the Town Council, the following resolution. ol- . tered by Councilman CaJ, was unanui*ousiy adopted by the Council ■ , KtsoteW, That the In tendent be. and ue is hereby authorized and requested to take ?ucn ' ir cibi't st€pß as he may deem necessa.y to prevent • future inhactYots of our quarantine laws an- reg ulations. Under these instructions, voxuii.eers were en roherf. and a battery, consisting or a t wenty-tour and a brass six-pounder, was piante i on tP.e b!un in an open lot between the min or Foster Stevens and Messrs. Mooney fc,Gv akin siounun and machine works. The Fort rnysician was then despatched to the quarantine ground, at Dames Point. with the warning to Cant. King, that it nr attempted to pass Jacksonville he would be ..red into. In < order that the passengers who might be on boa it. ■ should not be exposed to the danger of tn® tire , another messengei was despatched to May Port with a like warning. Ihe passengers, i: there . were any, were advised to go ashore at both or i these points. Toe Port Pnjsiciar. and messen ger were sent down by the steamer Meyers. We also learn, that Nir. Bisbee, of the him oi Bisbee te Canova, agents of the U tiaka, accom panied by Capt. Shaw, of the steamer Gaston, went down in the Meyers, and earnestly entreat ed him not to endeavor to pass Jacksonville. His answer to them was, that he was bound lor Pa iatka. and intended to go there. His answer to tbe Poit Physician and messenger was: "You have done your duty, but I am bound for Palat ka. i At eight o’clock on Sunday morning tne vol unteers assembled, according to orders; establish ed a military camp, planted sentries and manned their batteries. A lookout was posted upon the deck of Messi?. Stevens Fosters mil*, who was to announce tr.e approach oi a steamboat by the discharge oi bis market. The day passed very quietly, very little excitement being exhibited by either citizens or volunteers, but a firm determination was evinced by every countenance, to uphold the laws which they were called to defend, at any sacrifice. This determination* w*as not the result oi a sud den ebullition oi passion, exit that oi settled con viction, that they were performing their duty and in full view of the responsibility ot then position. At sunset an evening gun was fired, and it was fondly hoped tnat the \S elaka would not make her appearance —that she had brought up at the Quarantine ground and would respect the laws oi the town. Those hopes were toon dissolved by the report of a musket from the look out station, and soon the smoke oi a steam er became visible over the point. As the steam er advanced she was asceitamed to be the V» e laka. and the batteries were manned and port fires lighted, ready for a discharge. As she came abreast of the battery a blank cartridge was fired to bring her to, but as she disregarded the warning the guns were then shotted, and com menced a fire upon her. It was now growing so dark tha£ the aim of the guns could not be cer tain, and the steamer passed on up the river. It is supposed, however, that she was struck, and a report has just come in that her Engineer was wounded by a splinter and cafried ashore to the residence of Dr. Ashurst, near Phillip's P. int. The Town Council are in session this morn ing. (iSth inst.J and wr.at turther measures win be resorted to. have not yet transpired ; we await the result. The following is from the Charter of the town, granted by the Territorial Legislature, endorsed by Congress upon its passage through that body, and subsequently confirmed, when Florida be came a State. “ They shall have authority to guard against the introduction ot infectious or malignant dis ease, and for this purpose, may prohibit or regu late the ingress or approach of vessels into the waters within the limits ot said corporation, and whenever necessity may compel them, und- r fixed and certain penalties, to perform quaran tine, and to observe such other rules and regula i or.s as the said Council may deem proper by Ordinance to establish.” Below will be found the boundaries ot the town, which, it wi.l be observed, takes the whole of the ri' er: An Act to amen i an Act to incorporate the Town of Jacksonville.

That so much of the act entitled an act to incor porate toe Town of Jacksonvi de, approved 10th ' of Feb. 1841, a-s defines the boundaries of said town be. and the same is hereby repealed. To take effect from and alter the approval ot this act, j zr.d that from and after said approval the boun daries oi said *.,wn shall be as follows, to wit:: Beginning at a point on south bank oi St. Jor.uN river directly-south from the mouth a of , Hogan’s Creek, thence north to the mouth oi Hogan’s Creek alor-.-ai 1. thence along said Creek ascending with the meanders of the south Bianch o: said Creek to a point near the public road (cc/edthe king’s road) where said Creek takes i a Erection from netriy southwest to nearly nortn west irom said bend by a direct line nearly a-outhwesterly direction to the mouth of Alc- CojT cr?ek. thence across the St. John’s river by a Lrect line, to Hendrick’s point, thence eas*- d.-jfg the bank st St. John’s river to the 1 point of beginning.
