Present, Judge Talmsdgc. Mr. Colden, Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Emmet, each spoke about an hour in favor of the defendant. The Attorney General declining speaking in favor of the prosecution, Mr. Edwards, on the same side delivered a short speech— when the Judge charged the Jury. At three the Jury retired, and at four re turned into court with a verdict of NOT GUILTY. It has been intimated in some of the public papers, that the letter said to be from a gentleman to the Marquis d’- Yrujo, respecting the son of Col. Smith, was a fabrication of the Marquis} the Editor of tl.e Gazette of the United States, has been authorized to declare, that the writer of the letter in question, is General Jonathan Dayton, of Eli zabeth-town, late Senator of the Unit ed States for the state of New-Jersey. | We are authorised to state, (says the New-York Daily Advertiser) for the in- | formation of the friends and relations of • those Americans who were made pris- j oners by the Spaniards on hoard of Mi-■ randa’s schooners, that the most prompt j btefficocious measures ha'-e been adopted i to procure their enl .rgement; and that j no doubt remains of the success of the ! steps n. It is therefore hoped that} the flying reports of the day will not 1 create any further anxiety among the friends of the unfortunate captives. We learn from Washington, that dis p tches, of a hostile nature, have been | received from Mr. Munroe, our Min ister at the court of London, and that it is Said, Great Britain refuses to come to any adjustment «»f our differences, in consequence of i ie energetic measures adopted by our government during the ! last congress. We also understand, i that these dispatches have not been in the possession of government for a few days, but for many weeks ; and that the editor of the National Intelligencer, in several of bis late publications, has been preparing the public mind to expect a failure of the negotiation. In his pa per of the 14th inst. he says : “ Altho* nothing has yet occurred to impair our cxpectati nos an accommodation; itbe comesus,standing un the strong ground taken by the legislature, lobe prepar ed for a less favorable issue, should Britain, either from systematic error, or from the misrepresentations of parties among ourselves, rtfuse to acknow ledge our indisputable rights. Let it be recollected, that, in such an event, the act passed by Congress, is the first leading step in a system of measures well calculated to aw ken her from her delusive dreams; and that it was ex pressly adopted as a measure equally fitted for producing a change in her conduct, or for standing as a part of our permanent systtm of commercial regulations.” Virginia Gazette. We hear that William Pinckney, Esq. to the office of Minister Extraor dinary, has added to his Mission, the office of Minister Resident at the Court cf London, in the room of Mr. Mon roe, who, we understand will return home. It was known some time since, that it was Mr. Monroe's intention to return to America—and it is believed, that he would have returned ere this, had he not anxiously desired to bring about that accommodation of differences be tween the two nations, which had eve ry appearance of a speedy and honor able termination, previous to the late proceedings of Congress. It is now very certain that the difficulties have not decreased. And the dispatches re ceived here indicate some difficulty in bringing about an adjustment. W ashing!on Federalist. NATCHEZ, JULY 1. The following very extraordinary cir cumstance occurred a few days since... If the advocates for duelling were com pelled to settle their “ affairs of honor” in a similar manner, substituting a com mon hangman, to terminate the seen#, in place of a son to one of the parties, it is probable the practice would soon become less fashionable. At about two o’clock, P. M. an In dian was discovered by the family en tering the south end of col. Girault's lane. Lie drew their attention, being painted in an uncommon manner, his whole body appeared red, he held in iiis right band a gun, which he bran dished with many gesticulations, in his left a bottle ; lie was attended by two other Indians in rather a sober pace.... At the opposite end of the lane some more Indians were discovered, among wnom was a man painted in like milli ner, but unarmed; he was held and de tained by a woman, but when the one brandishing his gun came within about twenty steps of him, he burst from the embrace of his wife and rushed towards his antagonist....at about four yards distance they both halted, when the un armed one presented his naked breast to the other, who took deliberate aim, but appearing to recollect himself, he dropt his gun, took a drink from the bottle which was tied to his wrist.... the other patiently and resolutely hold ing his breast open and presented all tiiis time....having finished his drink and given a whoop, he took fresh aim, and in an instant the other dropt amost at his feet; this done, he loaded his gun with all possible speed, gave it to a bye stander, (son to the decased) he then in turn bared and presented his breast, and was instantaneously sent in to eternity. The dead bodies were can ied each the i | way they hud come, and by their res-1 pec live friends interred, one at each J | end of the lane ; the wife and relatives : of the unarmed one, who was first kill i ed howled over his remains three days ■ and nights, they then disappeared.... | on Friday last they returned again, fir ;ed several guns on approaching the ; grave, gave a general howl about a i quarter of an hour, and retired. YVe learned from one among them i who speaks broken English, that they had quarrelled over a bottle some con siderable time ago, when the Indian who was first killed had his finger bit by the other, in such a manner that I his arm inflamed ; he declared he was “ spoiled," and that they must both die, they agreed and formed the arrange ments as related. The late seasonable rains have great i ly changed the face of the vegitable re- ; gions in our vicinity.—The crop of rye are said to be the heaviest and best got in for the last ten or twelve years. Hay will not be so abundant as was expect- , ed. The Indian corn wears a promis- ' ing appearance ; and some fields which i which were cut off by the frost, now j look thriving.—Apples are in great abundance. Boston Centincl.
