Capt Poariirin, ofthc steamboat Ini*, arrived yes*

us with the following :
Information reached Black Creek nn the IGth
Inst., hyoxpress from Foil Fanning, th-H on the

Griffin, escuited by a non-comm'usioiicd officer and
six privute*, (reguW*) itwns attacked within about
8 miles from Foi l Fanning, by n pnrty of about 15
Indians, a* is«nld—the four mules were killed, and
tho Ambulance burnt. From the 't«nm*t"i’a state-
moat, thurc was am mg the Indians, who fired first,
a while man. (stout, well built nnd ntldetiu) dm**-
ed with white puntnloo-*, calico shirt, black vest,
hat nnd whiskers. As the driver sprung mil of the
wagon on ono side, tlm white ninn entered it on the
olhor, who said,according to the trnmsior's report:
“Don’t tun, and wo will not hurt yon.” Ono of
tho escort was badly shot through the h-ilv, hill lie
was taken off'by Ids coinni les, who I ohuved with
great courage and determination.

WASHINGTON, April 13.
This will bo petition day in tho House lignin,
unless tint tub's he suspended, in nrdei to proceed
witli the goncinl appropriation hill. Unless u night
session may he anticipated tomorrow, and die civil
and diplomatic bill cun then bo disposed of, it must
lie over lor nn indefinite time. Wednesday is |lie
day assigned f-.r Mr. Adams’revenue hill, which is
of pressing necessity, in as much ns lln-icv mic j*
impahed by the frauds in invoices; ami tho next
day Mr. Block's report on publiu printing is the
special order nnd lias precedence over nil lui-incs*
until disposed of. This Inst subject will occupy
much lime, for ovary partisan oratin' in the house
must speak upon it.
I understand tlint nn attempt will sotn he rr tub
to reviso tiie duties on Madeira and Sheriy Wines
and thaJ it will piohnbly stnoeid, ns levcnue from
that source Is much wanted ami cannot ho com
plained of. The duty i.s now 25 cents n gallon nnd
will lie further diminished, by the operation of tho
Tariff* Act. It was formerly ono dollar, and will
probably bn gradually lostnrtd to ilrn rate.
The subject of our relations with Grout Britain is
conversed of hem and regarded with utidituini»hed
anxiety. An apprehension exists, though n« 1 hope
without fmi mini ion, thnl the report of Col. Mmlgo
nml Mr. FciiihciBioi.hiiiigh will ho adverse in our
views iif the boundary,U" fixed hj the treaty of 1703.
In this ease, aumhornrhlti ill ion will not pr..liuMy he
agreed toby Great Bii'ain, and sli- ’will nml.c on-
counter propusiiion, bat retain possesion of tlio ter
ritory, lucrouse her military force there, and ont'ii-
tic her cncruuchmeuts, till sh-* lias goaded us into u
war.

what giounds the I’resideiit felt so secure iigninsi

the chief ground of apprehension hero, Ju vvit: an

whereupon tho British Government will discon

But, tliey have been in favor of a convention, nnd
whatever may luivn been the changes in public
opinion, upon this subject, the best nml soundest
irnsoii* continue lo exist, in favor, not only of n

Tho only regret expressed hy tho Democratic Press-
os Is that the victory wns nnt more of a rout, hut wo

Tlio New York American, of Tuesday nRurnonn,

NEW YORK, April 15.
Tho polls closed at sunset last evening upon the
quietest election it Inis been our pleusuroto witness
for many years. Although tlio preparations made
by both parties were mure than usually niiimntnd
not n single outrage that wu uro uvvnre of has oc-
rred hi uuy part ufllio city. This extraordinary
good order is to bo nllribuiml in part lo tlio division
ofihownid* into smaller disirict#, and lo tha short
ening of tlm tlmo fur which tho polls n te hold upon.
Great crowds wore not p.-rinilted under these nr-
raiig.-moul* to collori around tho pluces of voting to
tho exclusion of lawful voturs, nnd of on at tlio ex
pense of the pence; nor were th ro running nhuut
tlio city, gangs of intoxicated and riotous fellows,
employed for the avowed purpose of looking up elec
tor#, hut whose chief bo-iuor* it bus commonly
been lo ciculu disturbance*.
As to tiro remit, wo confess wo are soiu'*wlml

grntiiiiitu our frionds upon a majority of two thou

count of ihndem-icrullc strength oftlin city. Many
of our most null vo partisans weru kept nt homo by
tlio disagreements nf il p.-r-oniil nnluie, which sprung
up u few d iys before the election, disngreumonts
-wlimli were not ri*con>'l!''it soon rnou h to permit
the nncussaryorilhiisiasto to rekindle. As ltl», how
ever, the njipo*ii ion are grievously put out. With
thedosjnunto efforts they hnvo been making for tho
last few month*, with dio nssixtunca of large enniri-
loiliniis of monoyrrmualiroad, with a most thorough
party organisation, wiili the mover to distribute the

I uro ilwrefioro very deeply chagrined.
