It will be remarked, that in the manner in which Mr. jackfon has been recalled the feelings of the A- i mericati government appear to have 1 been refpefted, inasmuch as the recal is not announced, as in ordina- 1 ry cafes, in the cafe of Mr Eifkine I for inftance, through the minifler ! hitnfelf, butdircftly from the fover- eign.

Thefe circumftances, though indi cative of a difpofinon to avoid vrrita- I tion, amount to bat lit!le.

John Regan’s companies lud ar rived at the Rifle Camp, a few miles above the mouth of Elk ri- *ver, from the cantonment near Natchez* They were at prefent under the command of Major John Fuller; but Col. Purdy from Highuaffee was expefted there in a few days, with all the garrlfon and Itores at llighwaf- lec, .as that fort was about to be evacuated. The obj'ft for al- fembling foldiers at the Rifle camp is conicftured to be two fold; firft to remove intruders on the Indian lands, and fecond- ly to open a road to theTombig- bee. To cffecl the firft object l.ieuf. Thomas Ramfey has left notice* at feveral public places •among the fettlers requiring them to tn.ove off by the 15th of December next, otherwife the military were ordered todrive them off at the point of the bay onet. This fecond obj; ft is not directly and pofitively kur.wn, l)ut it is the general imprefllon of the beft informed of the offi- * cers that fuch will be their em ployment in the fp'ring. And for omfelves we cannot but wiih the foldiers were employed that \v y, as it is the only profitable fervice they can render the U. -States.

The number of preffes in ’ Palis, which heretofore amounted i to between three and four hundred, has been reduced by this new regu lation to the number of lixty. Thefe are all to be placed under the abfo- lute controul of the agent of the great imperial regulator, who like my Un cle Thomas regulates and mis-Tegu- lates according to his fovereign will and 'pleafure. The primary objeft to he gained by this new decree, is no doubt to prevent the mufic of the prefs, from being attuned to notes of claimorous fympathy for the wretch ed condition of an enllaved aod op- preffed people.
