No doubt is expresed of the complete success of this expedition, and of tlie final triumph of the patriots. are generally in pos session of the interior country. *The royal force is represented as small, and except at Garthagena, where Monllo commands is not expected to oppose any serious resistance. At Carthagena the contests will probably be sanguinary, as neither party*gives is with both, victory or death. There has been in this city, for some days past, a delegation from the Chick asaw nation of Indians, consisting of general William the great war chief of the chickasaws ; major James Colbert* Interpreter of the United States Et-tsß-sueMingo, the great orator ; Ap-pa-sau*fub-bee, a; chief; Cfias-tau ny, and Col-leet-6hee, warriors—con ducted'bv Mr. Wighton Xing These chdifc an d warriors, with the rest ot their nation, took anactive part in the 1 te war,against our combined white and red foes in the south, and can boast they never spilled the blood ufa white man except m war, and then have always ta ken part with the Uffited States. Gen eral Colbert has particularly distinguish ed himself. He with seven others of his nation fought with us as long ago as at Su Clair’s defeat ; Sr.d in’ the late war, before his nation whs ready lor the irgi \, he singly joined the 3d regiment ot ihe United States infantry alter re maining with Hum nine; nuinhs, he re lumed to his nation,“collected his war riors, and marched to Port Montgome-, ry. on ihe .Alabama, Ironvt'hS’nte against ;t4rosseti the Escambia untH .puisued the flying hostile Creeks near to Appalatchicola, killing many of tflt? ■ €SsmWw f enemy end returning to the Fort Mont gomery with 6 5 Creek ‘prisoners.

An auijiv Iti'c and interesting docu ment is now before us, which tends to shew the extent to which the monstrous practice pi impressment was carried by the British before the war, and will af ford softie satisfaction to those who hoji estly enquire u What has become of our impressed seamen J* ; On the 28th of February last, a resolu tion was passed ,by the House of sentalives,. requiring the President to cause to be laid before the House a state ment of the number of impressed Ameri can seamen confined in Dartmoor prpon the number surrendered, given up, or taken from on board 3ritish vessels cap tured during the late war* with their places of residence respectively. In compliance with this request, the President transmitted to the on ; the twenty ninth of April, a Report of the Secretary of State on the subject, consisting of three several statements, and containing, as the Secretary says, all the .information which he lysis, as yet, been able to obtain relative to the object steled in the resolution. This report has since been printed, and a copy of it is. in our possession. *The iirstof these statements is a u List of American Seamen impressed qn board of British public ships, and transferred to and confined iri, English prisons as pri soners of war, taken from official lists furnished by the British authorities, to the American agent for prisoners in London” —This {list contains Fourteen hundred and twcntyHitfor, The second statement, is a “List of American Seamen impressed on board of British ships, and transferred to, and confined in prisons in the West- Indies, or jNova-Scotia* taken from lists furnished by the British authorities to the American agent for prisoners”— This list coatatns one hundred and fifty eight* i The third statement is a “ List of A merican Seamen impressed on board of British /public ships, and discharged there from in England, since the peace * furnished by the A merican agent, in London’’—This list contains two hun dred and nineteen . In these lists not only the names of the impressed American seamen thus discharged are given, but it is also sta ted .by What man of war, or under what circumstances, they were impressed and detained—where first confined—where released—in what vessels returned to Jhe United States* and at what port ar rived* ’ Here then 4s indubitable evidence which n© man of sense or candour will dispute or doubt-—that SEVENTEEN HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE A merican Seamen, who had been impres sed by the British, have been liberated.
