The great teats of our lit *" i tie navy have called forth the genius of the Poet, the Dra matic, the Orator, the Pain ter, and the Biographer: the Historian will hereafter take' his place in the lift of pane gyrifts. Connected w irh our praise is the disgrace of our enemy. 1 he boaits of Mr* Bull, his extfavagant encomiums up-j on his own navy, and his: insolent taunts upon our Teamen, hare canted us to enjoy his disgrace with ad ditional relish. The dilap pointed boafttr is the moftj ridiculous ot all characters.! He becomes the buttof eve-' f y one, and it he is of con fuquence enough to delerve rebuke, is handed over to the lath of the genius of rid 'icule. •He (trurs in a farce 3 writes in a satire ; is impal-i led by a pun; or ftgures in a cari ature. The wits of Philadelphia! have already taken Mr. Bull 1 by the horns —and with age-- ni 11s, equally happy and i protnpt, have depicted his agonies in Caricature. Wei have seen two of them, of this defcrtDtion. 1 • m The firft is entitled M John J ! Bull stung to Agony by In- < feeds. 1 It represents Mr. Bull in 1 a pitiable phrenzy of paftion< and pain, bleeding on each l fide with the lting of a Hor- < ;net and a Walp. From the; ihead of the Wasp flows this l inlcription— i a “ How comes or? your' copper bottoms at Bombay ? Here is something ft r between wind and water.*’ The Horner ha s the fol lowing infeription “ You’ll bridge the At lantic, will you ! On ! then you fhali have a Bane to your bridge friend Johnny.” While poor John roars out in the following drain : | “ Are thde your If'alps and Hornets! Oh! I am Hull'd already.*' The face of Mr. IT 11 does not on ihe whole prrferve the character of the London, i caricatures—it is deficient, 1 in that en bon pointy which didinguifhes the cuhbhy mo narch of road beef and por ter — tho* tonfidering the; cold iweats which Bona-; parte has given him, the re peated blood-iettings of Mr. Pitt, and the agony indict.' HOLD THE MIRROR UP TO NATURE-- Sbakuptart. ed by cur flings, the charg' mav he tolerably confi(ten with poetical juitice. Th< mod curious cireutnflancc, however, in this caricature, is the date of it—it was, publiUed in Philadelphia id of March, 1813”, thus predicting, by a fort ot in spiration, the fpiended tri-i umphs of the Hornet. The other print is rnti-! tied “The Cock Fight—or another ding tor the pride of John Bull.” In iht centre o! the piece is a luge Peacock, beating in his mouth rite Britiih flag and jpierced through and through with the fling of a Hornet, its bread bleeding, and its j o * once elegant re-fliers (hat lered to pieces. Over i* appears this infeription : “ I wish l had flaid a. home, and flruued on mv own Dunghill.” To the icft is a vigorou?! Hornet, with its wings Attached and ttarred repre senting 'he American flag this' label is placed over it ’ u * i “ I’ll make you rue the day that ever you fixed your Argus eyes on me- I’ll rtke 1 you fore and aft my boy. —1 HI fend you to Davy's lock- 1 er.” | On the right of the whole, is ihe mad monarch 1 of the Britilh Illrs (urveying 1 through a teiefcope the : dreadful contefl between the ins est and the bird. The face of the king is executed to the life j and the words which fpuit from him, are like thole abrupt rxprefli jus which the factious Peter Finder Aiyles the “ legs ami wings of words,” “Aye ! What ! What 1 Brother Jonathan’s Hornet killed my Peacock ! In fit j teen minutes too ! not pof 'lible —fine bird--well ted i I fear he was too fond of Blowing his tail.” Richmond Enquirer, BARBARITY. Pittsburg, Pehn. April 9.

Capt. Wells, mv- Icll and an hundred friend.y Indians left fort Wayne on die firfl of Aug off to escort in capt. Heald, from fort Chicaugo, as h* was in dan ger of being captured bv the Britilh, Orders had been given to abandon that fort and retreat to fort Wayne, a liflance of 150 miles. We reached fort Chuaugo on the loth of Augufl, and on ;the 15th we prepared for an immediate march, burn ing all that we could not fetch with us. On the 15th at 8 o’clock we commenced our march with our (mall force, which con filled of captain Wells, my felt, and our 100 confute Indians/ capt. Healeds ioo men, ten women and twenty children in all 232. We had march ed half a mile when we were attacked by 600 Kickapo and Wynbago Indians. In the moment of trial our con fute savage-joined the ra vage enemy. Our contefl laded ten minutes when eve- 1 ry man, woman 6c child was killed except 15. Thanks' be to Hod, I was one of thole who escape i. Firfl, they (hot the feather of my cap, next the epauiet from my fliouider, and then the h/indie from my (word. I ti.cn surrendered to four sa vage ralcals. The confute chief, taking me by the hand, and speaking Englifli laid, ‘Jordan 1 know you you gave me tobacco at fort Wayne. We wont kill you, but come and fee wiiat we! will do with your captain,” lo leading me to where Wells lay, they cut off hi head and put it on a long , pule, while another took ou; his heart and divided u among the chiefs, and they eat it up raw. Then they lealped tiie tlain and flrip- 1 ped the pnfjners, and garn ered in a ring with us h;- tecn poo. wretches in the! middle. They had n daily (ell out about the divide, but my old chief true White |ltacoon holding me tad, t U'y made the divide a» l ieparfed to their towns. They tied me hard and fa ft j .bar night and placed a 'inrd over me. 1 .av down ind llept foundiy u.u.l morn • ng, fer 1 was tired—ln the morni.ig they untied me and .set me pa-chtng corn, a: which I worked attentively until nigh:. They laid thac it I would ihy and not runa way, that they would make a chief of me, hut it 1 would attempt to run away they would catch me and burn me alive. I amused them with a hue (lory in order to gain their confidence; and fortunately made iny escape from them on the 19th Au gust, and took one of then* Dell horses to carry me, be ing seven days in the svil dernefs. I was joy fully re ceived on the 26m at Wayne. On the 28th they attacked the fort, and blockaded us until the 16lh of September when we were relieved by Gen Hatrifon.” Natchez, March ii* Extract of a letter from Nacogdoches dated id March. “ Yeftcrday arrived hers Jo.se Maria Mora and Jofc Ignatio Y.
