has the following notice :
“ The p- ffi fiion of the

SAMUEL G. OGDEN.
Ex trail of a letter dated Grenada,
May 27, 1806, from a gentle
man on hoard the Leander, lo
Samuel G. Ogden.
“ We iefc JdCquemel on the
27J1 of March, arrived a: the
illa.bd of Atuba on the q:!i of
April, where, after taking in
fufficient water, we failed on the
15 h April, and being off the
Marne on the 27th near Porto
Cavello, we -fell in v/ich a Span
ifn brig of 20 guns, and a fchoo
net of 16 guns, bv both of
wnich we were attacked, and had
a:i action of half an hour, but
no apparent damage done on
either fide ; however, during
the corned we were so unfortu
nate as to lose two schooners we
had chartered at Jacquemel, on
beard of which ve fir Is were a
bouc 60 men. —This circum
france was occasioned by thole
Ichooners falling to the leeward
and our not being able to fepe
rate the brig from the schooner,
in which case we certainly should
have Caved our little convoy -,
however to remedy this evil,
we immediately decerm ned to
go to Trinidad, to obtain such
information and afiiftance as the
Britifii might be difpufed to
afford us.
<( On our wav we fortunately
fell in with the Britifii fi >op of
war Lilly, Capt Campbell, who
received us wfih much cordial
ity, and informed us, it was his
particular inftruflions to serve
us, at the fame time advising us
to put into Grenada, as the Go
vernor of the ifhnu had fume
particular communication to
make to Gen. Miranda. We
h ive already received the Go
vernor’s afiurunce of th* rnoft:
prompt co-operation. We shall
probably take up one or two
1 days at leafr, in making the rfe
cefiary arrangements here, and
(laall then proceed to Trinidad,
(in company with the Lilly
{loop cl war) where, we und> r
i Band, the Governor of that Bl
and will aifo give us every af
fiuan.ee that is necessary.

<c The Jason frigate is now

j volunteers on hoard ; this {hip
is commanded by captain Coch
rane, who, we undt rftand from
the bed authority, ffs particu
lar inffruflions to protect and
forward our enterpr ze.
“ I have now the happiness
to observe that the new turn to
our operations has given much
animation ro all friends on board
the Leandcr, ar and I finer rely hope
my next will inform you that
our glorious enterprise i* fully

LOUISVILLE, (ken)June 11.
Extra A of a letter from a Gentle
man in St. Louis, to his friend
in this place, dated, 27 th May,
1806.
Toe peop’e of th s place are
much alarmed ar the hoft.le pro
I cecJmgt- of the I.idu is finet
tiie troops lcfr tins ; the iffsow
ing is a fpecirhen of fome of
their arc conduct, .A fe*v days
since fome Ki< kapoo Indians
came her and drank rather too
much whifke-y—one of them
went through the town arid
chreatned to kill fcveral women
and children, and at length at
tacked Judge Meggs and struck
at his head wuh a tomahawk,
which was turned off by his hat.
Meggs seized the Indian bv the
hand that held the tomahawk—.
the Indian reached round his
other hand and drew his knife
half out of the scabbard. At
this moment a young man by
th” name of Hammond, drew a
pifiol and Jh t the Indian thro*
the back -, but lie did not ap
pear to mind it muc.h, and was,
apparently more reiolute and
ainb tious to kill Col. Meggs.
Hammond law this and drew
his dirk and stabbed the Indian •
twice —he run about two hun
dred yards and fell dead. Inis
circumitance has canted great
difiurbance among the Indians.
Mr. Hammond will liave to
(land his trial : but the general
opinion is that he was very
jufiinable in killing the Indian.
Four or five Indian priloners
are in jail for killing white
people.

This morning arrived the
brig Wheeler, Capeam B ftbm,
in 44 days from Liverpool.—•
Cap*. B. has favored us with
London papers from the \i\ to
the Inh of May, and from our
mercantile friends we have re
ceived others of cotemporane
ous dates.
Tbefe papers we are sorry to
oblerve, contain nothing new
or important, such articles as
appeared worthy of notice, will
be found in this day’s paper.
The trial of Lord Melville
v/as pregrefiing, and w'as at
tended b\ the nvYc diftringuifii
ed on this occasion, or rather
applicable to similar occasions,
ir is not permitted to publish
the proceedings of the Court.
The important fubjecls be
fore parliament are, the Slave
Limitation Bill, Defence Bill, Os
American Intercourse Bill ; —-
(ketches of the De bates on thele
measures will be given in sub
sequent papers. The latter bill
was tea l a lecond time in the
l loffe of Peers on the 6r.h of
May, and ordered to be com
mitted on the 8 th. In the courle
of debate the Duke ofMontrofe
obierved that he wifiled the
b. 1! to be post pone J, as it waft
certain that negociations for a
more cl'ffe and intimate con
nex on with the United States
was then depending. Lord
Hawk (bury opposed the bill, as
he wifiied to know what was to
be giV'-n by America for con-*
c fiions in her favor, and which
he hoped would be found in the
refijlc of the depending negoci

our prohibitory bill had beer,

We have given our files a
careful examination, and do noty
find that any American vefiels
have been lately lent inco the
