IM i OKI'AN P FROM 5. AalEKiv -.
Termination of Mar bilwtcn Peru and
Chili.
The New York Journal of Com
tnerce says:—“By a letter fromoui
correspondent nt Mazatlan, dated Jan.
15th, we learn that the war between
Peru and Bolivia, on the one part, and
and Chili and B. Ayres on the other,
had been brought to a close, and a
Treaty of ’ Peace signed and ratified.
Our correspondent speaks of having
forwarded a copy of the Treaty in
company with the letter, but it has not
}ret come to hand. We areconsequent
y. ignorant of the conditions on which
Peace was offered and accepted, or
from Winch of the two contending par
ties the prosipotion came. Our last pre
vious advices, via Buenos Ayres, rep
resented the cause of the Protector to
be in a bad way; but a good deal ot
allowance must be made for false color
ing.

it appears that there were encamped
about halt a mile from the General’s
position, upwards of 200 Indians, men,
women and children, under the chief

reference to them, consequent on pro
positions which they made early in
February.
About 140 Indian negroes,who came

for lampi Bay, fore nbarkation to
the westj and who, it is said, belong
mostly to Indians who have already
emigrated. It is further said that a
bout 30 oi 40 negroes are still out, sj
that nearly all the blacks have left the
field, by capture or surrender. Sam;

FORT CLINCH, East Florya, )
Feb. Ilin, 1838. 5
Gentlemen:
When I last wrote you I stated that
we were to leave in a few days for
‘-‘Christa I River.”—We have just re
turned from a reconnoitering pah) by
(he whole Brigade of 14 days, in the
which we have paid our respects to the
Wahoo Hammocks $ Powel’s Cove,
Anurthalaggee Hammock, .Ind parts
of tire Hammocks of Clear Water and
Christal Rivets/ We were not met by
any Indians, nor did we find any recent
signs until we came to clear water,
where col. Foster with the second
Regiment under his command,discover
ed three Indians,onenrrau &two women. J
The col. immediately gave chase
pushed ahead of his drew
his pistol and called t 0 t h e Indian to
eurrender. when both, the Indian and
the CGi. fired; the ball of the Indian
took Caect, entering in the left breast
and passing out in front of the left arm
•—it is thought not to be dangerous.
This circumstance took place on J
cf the pi esent inst. The col. is much
belter. There were many balls which
took effect jvhether’i he col did tbisdepo
nantsayeth not, as he was not present,
nnd will not do the col. any injustice
knowingly.
These Indians were in our fight of
the 2Gth Dec. last, On the waters of
“Walker Sassee?’ They saj that their
party have not since that time been
able to collect their forces,— that there
tvas engaged in that battle 106 war
liors, and that from 18 to 20 were kill
s ed. They do|not know how meny was
wounded. The survivors, together
with Tiger Tail and two hundred of
his men, have gone, it is believed by
them, beyond the Suwannee River;
towards Dead Man’s Bay —at least
they (the two women.) have not seen
hut the twenty as above stated, of the
party to which they thorn < Ives were
attached,to wit; the 106 part of l iger
1 ails tribe. We shall go in pursuit
of the party of twenty in a day or two
no doubt, and should w<* fi.id that they
tell us ‘he truth, we shall revisit Dead
Mau’s Bay, unless oyr time of service
E should be too nearly out to enable us
to pet form the trip. Our horses are
/’ nearly exhausted; we have been con
•tantly on the scout since (he arrival
• of our arms and other munitions of
i war. The fact is, (he Old Blue Fox
. is probably one of the most untiri»\g,
» pushing, energetic commanders of the
i present day. We mote with the rapi
, dity of light unincumbered troops, thro’
i mud, mires, and hammocks, carrying
. with us from five to six days rations for
? both man and horse; and yet the
) men generally enjoy most excellent
t health—having lost only four men dur*
- ing the campaign.. Our course is nev
i er impeded on account of waters in
i the way,unless wagons are inthe train.
• Our course is onward.
My former opinions of this part of
• the Territory respecting the sterility
> and worthlessness ot the lands, have
t undergone some considerable change
■ in its favor. I saw during my last scout
lands as fine as any inthe vicinity and
> adjoining counties of Tallahassee or
• that section, if not better; there are
s some fine, very fine lands in Warhoo
; Hammocks, and also in the Anurtha-
laggee,as well as in Little Tallahassee
i south of the Withlachoochee River.—

The several letters which I have

with my present feelingsand situation,
do so, and this determination is formed
after the most mature deliberation,
and can, in no < Vent, be abandoned.
Many reasons influence hne in pursuing
this course, which, at a proper time, I
shall take pleasure in making known.
Yours, with great respect, &c.
