ST. AUGUSTINE, Jan. 0, 1041, We have no'liingfrom tlioSotilli sincotlie airiva. of the Gaston, and nothing from tho interior. Tbo mill rider was alarmed by somrthing that ho thought lo be Indiuns this morning about nine miles from this on the Jacksonville roud. Nothing further has teen ascertained, but tliat small purlins of usiassins re lurking'nbout, is quito probable. 1 told you in my last that tho report of a treaty llh the Indians wus all smoke, and for tho honor if the Government I still hope it is, but tho matter more serious than I nt first supposed, for it has r -jn regularly roported by army officers and extern 7 Lively circulated in tho newspapers. On Tuesday a public meeting in this place adopt ed sundry resolutions on the subject which will np pear in this week’s papers. Horrible as this Florl da War has been,the most horrible part has been tho delays, tho talks, and tho treaties, nnd great ns tho 'carnage bus been, it has not boon on tho battle field! but on tho highway and tbo hearthstone.

Tho cowardly murderers, at their np. prouclt, ran down mid hid themselves under deck, where they remained till they Were arrested. After this, tho captain put his schooner in order, returned ’to this city, and informed the polled of tho tcaasac* tion. Theso fncts have boon gnthciod principally from the confessions of Swal, who snys that ho took no part in tho mnrdors; and in giving his assistance in throwing out tho freight only acted from fear. Smith and Jones, ho says, wero tho principals, the one ucting as captain and tho other as mate. They suy that Stvul (ho is a Dutchman) is as much im plicated ns they aro—that they desire dealli and wish to bo shot. SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1841. i Wliolo No. 87. TUKipAY, JANUARY 1311811.

It is a pity that somo of their mispent time could not bo merged in oblivion. THE WEATHER. Since our la»t wo have been inhaling the btcrtt of Spring. Saturday was a warm day, but yestet-. day was warmer. There was no comfort unless the zephyr of tho South wns permitted to find away through our casements. This is tube, like it* predecessors, a year of fickle weather, nnd if we are to judge by that of New Year's day, more fickle. On that day the morning Sun wus obscured by clouds, which threatened heavy showers, hut a South-Wester rttovo, nt noon, those clouds nwny, nnd the Sun shone iu Ids brilliancy up.on our hopes, enhanced ns they were by tho dawn of another yeur. »Tis thus with human life, in somo degree. Infancy has it* clouds and its shadows, for reason hos not yet assumed Us station to instruct tho natural mlrnl how to dissipate them. Boyhood arrives and its cupslcss gaiety, like the South West wind disperse* nil shades, and frolics in tho sun-light, while the noon of manhood is rendered »till brighter by the light which reason end experience concentrate. But to return from ourdigrossion. The wentheh of yesterday, If It continues, will surely bring tho odours, as well as the breath of Spring, and We will not be surprised soon to seo a bod of roses, (would that wo could recline Upon it,) and rite fragrant jessamine peeping from its winter residence, to have its beauties chilled, perhaps withered by an untimo- ly frost.

DREADFUL PIRACY AND MURDER. Tho New Orleans Picayune, of tho 1st instant, contains the following dreadful account of Piracy and Murder. Bill Smith, William Jones, nnd John Swal, wero yesterday brought to the Second Municipality pri son, by Liont; Winters and police officer Rockwell. They nro chugged With murder, and robbing the scltounor Alexander, tho particulars of which aro truly heart rending. Tho schooner Aioxnndor, Cnpt.

She *tup|ii‘d ut tho luko endol the Ponclmttrain Rail Roud, to inkoon bomd n mow of six sailors, as passengers, who wore being scot to -hip on hoard a vessel lying at Potisocola, by u shipping master in this city. On tho Sfllh, ono of tho prisoners, Smith, who appears to have taken u leading part in the bloody drama which followed, quorrellad with tho cook of tho schooner; the captain remon strated with him, when Smith und somo of tho oilier passengers evinced u most turbulent spirit. Tho captain said ho had arms aft, and would use them, if any disposition wus shown to mutiny.— Smith replied, that ,|f he had nrtns lift, they, the passenger sudors, had arms forward, und would use them,—ami finally aulil that it should bo deci ded that night, whetltor lie or tho captain should c mntand tho schooner. The schooner in tlto mean time got ugiound on thuShell Banks. About dusk, and while Smith and his bloody-minded otnpnn ions were in tho forecastle, the captain and tlto whole of his own crew, excepting the stuwuir),whu unfortunately was left behind, got into tho yawl and •lioved off from tiie schooner, leaving her aground, and in possession o( the pirates. As they put off Smith happened to come on deck, ntui saw them, when ho immediately asked fur Ids howio knife, and culled up all hands; but the captain and his men wero out of his power. They then turned to and commenced drinking, and tho next day it was proposed to lighten tlto schooner hv throwing the cargo overboard, with tho view of getting her off. They intimated their design to the steward, who remained in the cabin, llo objected, when Smith replied, thut whoever would not join with them, should bo considered their enemy, nnd treated ns such. The steward replied they might don* they pit-used. They then went to work, discharging the freight into the lake. One of thorn, an old Eng- lishmoH, who felt unable und refused to work, June* beat ubout tho head und fucc with a mnrlinspike till ha murdered him, and then threw him over board. The report of a shot was now heard ftom the cabin where the steward was; they ran in and •truck at him with hluud-tlnr-ty violence. IIo b.-gged hi* life, hut June* told Smith to give him no mercy. Ho got out, and otto nmur.g them who neither approved nor pordciputtd in their piocced* ings, threw a plank into the luku un which thu ■towurd jumped. They then threw at him billet* of wood and other missiles, till th-y drowned him. They naxt turned on thu one who lltiew out tlm plank lu ilia steward and despatched him. There were now hut four hands remaining, who managed to gat the schooner off. Swal was sent tu tho helm who shurtly run the schooner aground again near Cat (stand. They then ransacked the vessel, look possession of two hundred dollars, two watches and sumo uiltur properly I put on other clothes than their own, and made a raft on which to gn ashore.

Thut point, and tho burning of tho Sir Robert Peel (fur which tho British government has de manded reparation) have, nnd continue to he, the subject o( active corrusjinndanra between the two governments. In proof that tiie homo government has not given any opinion on tho particular net of thu destruction of the Caroline, wc may mention the following fact. Doting tho inst session iff the Im perial 1’uriiumcnt, Lord Julia Russell was asked tlto question w hether it was ilia iitiontiuti of minis tors to recommend her Majesty to bestow any tro ward on Cuplain Drew and others engaged in llml affair.

Ill thu face of theso fncts tlto British Minister Ititist have strange instructions from his Government, it ho , is authorized to justify this llugrnnt outrage.
