Garrick s trial for a street robbery
in London. ,
u Court.-— Mr. Young, by what
light did you sec the prisoners when
they robbed you ?
u flfr’ Young. —I saw them plain
ly by the chairman’s lanthorn.—
When Carrick was going to rifle
me, he bid one of them go over the
way ; but Malony asked, Carrick
what he sent him away for, and
calling to the chairman, d—n ye,
villans, says he, come back or I
will run ye through ; and the chair
man coming back, Malony stood
over him with h:s sword. He had
the chairman hold their hats be
fore their faces , but they held
them a little on one side, so that
they could see what was done.
Carrick. —Pray, sir, which
side of the chair was I on when
you say I robbed you ?
“ hr. Young.—On the left side.
“ Carrick. —Now that is a He, for
I was on the right side. I shall
catch you again presently. What
coloured coat had I ?
“ Mr. Young. —Black.
“ Carrick. —l can prove the re

“ Mr. Young. —A light tie wig.
“ Carrick —That is another d—d

Malony , that you and I changed

It is stated in the Montgomery,
(Alabama) Republican, that a white
man by the name of Stinson, has
been lor some time past engage and in
selling goods at or near Fort Mitch
ell, in company with Chilly Mc-
Intosh, (a son of the General’s) at
which place a Mr. Crowell, a bro
ther or near relation of the Agent,
has also a store. The Agent char
ges Stinson with having sold goods
in the nation without license, and
has caused the marshal of the na
tion to take possession of all the
goods in the hands of Stinson and
Mclntosh as forfeited, or confisca
ted for a breach of the laws of the
United States. Some of the Chiefs
of the Nation, dissatisfied with this
course of proceeding on the part of
the Agent, have directed some of
the Warriors to go to Crowell’s
store, at Fort Mitchell, and retali
ate, by taking possession of his
goods.
We have learned from the Agency, that the
above statement is correct, so far as that Stin
son and Mclntosh had disposed of goods con
trary to law : —and that the goods were seized
and brought to the Agent —Stinson was arrest
ed but has made his escape. We would also
state that the remainder of the article is incor
rect, —and that no excitement exists in the nu
tion, in consequence of the proceedings.
From the Foreign News which we this day
lay before our readers, but very imperfect ideas
can be drawn of the real state of affairs in
Spain. For several days past we have recei
ved no intelligence direct trom the seat of war
—and the accounts of thedilferent contending
parties have been so varions and contradictory
as to render them, in general hardly wortli a
perusal. The only certain conclusion to Ire
formed, i. that Spain is yet unconquered : but
the protraction of any decisive blow, under
circumstances like the present, is unpreceden
ted in the annalsof modern European warfare.
Such items as we have been able to collect,
are given, and we leave the public to judge of
them. For an impartial history of present
events, we must wait with patience, as time
alone can reveal them.
Font Atkinson, July 3d, 1823.
Dear Sir: How painful for ine to
tell, ami you to hear, of the bar
barity of the Indians. They contin
ue to deceive, and murder the most
enterprising of our people, and if we
continue to forbear, if we do not soon
discover a greater spirit ot resentment,
this river will be discoloured with our
blood.
The defeat of Gen. Ashly by the
A’Rickarees, and departure of the
troops to his releif, had scarcely gone
to you when an express arrived, an
nouncing the defeat by the Blackfoot
Indians, near the Y'ellow Stone river,
of the Missouri Fur Company’s Y ellow
Stone or Mountain expedition, com
manded by Messrs. Jones and lmmel,
both of whom, with five of their men,
are amongst the slain.—All ol their
property to the amount of about
15,00 U fell into the hands of the en
emy.
To add to Gen. Ashley’s catalogue
of misfortunes, tiie Blackfoot Indians
recently defeated a party of eleven
and killed four of Major Henry's men
near his establishment, at the mouth
of the Y ellow Stone river.—The ex
press goes on to state, “ that many
things have transpired to induce a
strong belief, that the British traders,
(Hudson Bay Company) are exciting
the Indians against us either to drive
us from that quarter, or reap with the
Indians the fruits of dur labour.”
1 was in hopes that the British tra
ders had bounds to their rapacity I
was in hopes that during the late In
dian W ar, in which they were so
instrumental in the indiscriminate
massac re of our people, that they had
become completely satiated with our
blood, but it appears not to have been
the case. Like the greedy wolt, not
yet gorged with the flesh, they guard
over the bones—they ravage the fields,
and are unwilling that we should
glean them—although barred by the
treaty of Ghent, from participating in
our Indian trade, they presume and
are satisfied to do so, but becoming
alarmed at the individual enterprise
of our people, they are exciting the
Indians against them. 1 he> lurmsh
them with the instruments of liell- —
and a passport to Heaven the in
strinents of death, and a passport to
our bosoms.
lmmel had great experience of the
Indian character, but poor fellow,
with a British passport, they at last
deceived him, and he fell a victim to
to his own credulity, and his scalp,
with those of his murdered comrades,
are now bleeding on their way to
some of li.e ‘Hudson establishment*.
Another ol Gen Ashley’s wounded
men is dead, making 15 men killed,
by the A’Rickarees, and eleven bv the
Black toot—in all known to have been
killed by the* Indians within the last
two or three months, 26 effective men,
and 1 estimate the amount of property
actually lost in the several conflicts
at 820,000, besides a great number of
horses, &c.
The Ottoes, Missouri's, Omahas and
Panis, have been to see me already,
and as usual profess great friendship,
4kc. but with the rest of the neighbor
mg tribes are anxiously looking and
listening to know how we, (the Amer
icans) are going to get out of this
scrape.
lam still in bad health, aud almost
despair of recovering, during my stay
here.
I am at this moment interupted by
the arrival of an express from the
Military expedition, with a letter
from Mr. Pilcher, whom you know is
at the head of the Missouri Fur Com
pany on this river, in which he says,
“ I have but a moment to write. I
met an express from the Mandans,
bringing me very unpleasant news —
the flower of my business is gone. My
Mountaineers have been defeated,
and the Chiefs of the party both slain
—the party were attacked by three or
four hundred Blackfoot Indians, in a
position on the Y’ellovv Stone river,
where nothing but defeat could be ex
pected. Jones and lmmel, and five
men were killed. The former is said
fought most desperately. Jones kil
led two Indians, and in drawiug his
pistol to kill a third, he received two
spears in his breast, lmmel was in
front ; he killed one Indian, and was
cut to pieces. 1 think w e lost at least
815,000. I w ill write you more fully
between this and theiSouix.”
Jones was a gentleman of clverness.
lie was for several years a resident of
St. Louis, where he has numerous
friends to deplore his loss. lmmel
has been a long time on this river, first
an officer in the United States Army,
since an Indian trader of some dis
tinction—in some respects, lie was an
extraordinary man—he was brave, un
commonly large, and of muscular
strength—when timely appraised of
danger, a host within himself. The
express left the Military expedition
on the Ist inst. when all was w ell.
With great respect, your most obe

Capt. Parker, of the brig Octa
vusin 17 days from Kingston,
(Jam.) informs that the U. S.
schrs. Beagle and Gieyhound,
arrived there on the 30th July,
from a cruise on the south side of
Cuba —reported that on the 21st
July, near Cape Cruz, on reconnoi
tering the shore with their boats,
they were fired on by a party ot
pirates, about forty in number —
the boats retreated to the schoon
ers, and towed them in for the
purpose of coverihg their landing,
in which they succeeded, and car
ried a battery they had erected on
shore of three pieces of cannon ;
they had eight large launches,
four of which were destroyed.—
None of the pirates, were taken
prisoners, as they took to the Man
grove bushes : but a number are
supposed to have been killed and
wounded in their flight.
Captain Parker spoke in Crooked
Island Passage, on the 7th August,
sloop Norfolk, of Charleston, from
Barracoa for home ; informed that
the sloop Roxana, Smith, of Phila
delphia, was cast away* in July, on
the north side of Cuba—understood
the captain and crew to be on board
the Norfolk.
The pirates that were captured
by Lieut. Watson, and sent to Ha
vana, have been sent to Matanzas,
to be tried with those who escaped
to shore, and were afterwards cap
tured by the inhabitants.
By a letter from an officer of
Gom. Porter’s sqadron, dated the
Ist inst. we learn that Lieut. New
ell, has discovered a piratical arse
nal in the mouth of the river Anti
gasa, from which he took six pieces
of cannon with their equipments.
The settlement at Thompson’s isl
and was very healthy. The crew
of the British brig of war Bustard,
were said to be d\ing very fast—
all except 13 men were sick, and
they were all obliged to remain on
hoard, as there was no accommo
dation for them on shore. It was
understood that Com. Porter would
return home shortly on a visit.
Silver Mines. —Late accounts
from Washington county,Missouri,
inform (s;\ys the Lexington Gaz
ette, of the sth inst.) that a trading
party was forming to visit Santa
Fee, in Mexico, and also to open
a Silver Mine that was discovered
last summer high up on the Ark
ansas River, The quantity and
richness of the mineral, afford the
most flattering prospect of a very
extensive manufacture of silver
within the limits of the United
States.
Norriijgf.wock, Me. Aug. 4.
Coffee. —There are now grow
ing in full bloom, in the gardens
in tliis town, a number of Coffee
plants. The seeds from which
these plants sprang, were raised in
tliis place, the last season, from a
seed which was accidentallr found
among some raisins. Seventy ker
nels were produced from one seed
last year perfectly ripe—and we
should Judge that on a plant in the
garden of Mr. Manly, there will
be considerably over a hundred.—
‘i he coffee ripens and comes to
maturity in about the same time
that Indian corn does. If one plant
will come to maturity and yield in
this manner, why will not any quan
tity ?

“It gives me much pleasure to
inform vou, that our mutual friend,
Jacob Perkins, Esq. of this city,
has at length made proselyte to his
Steam Engines Improvements,
even of the most faithless. I was
present, a day or two since, when
Sir Humphrey Davy, and the Duke
of Wellington, spent more than an
hour in examining this wonderful
invention. They both expressed
themselves highly gratified and
astonished at what they ’ witnessed.

great is the number, that Mr. P. is

explanation. I regret'my inability
to give you a description of this
machine, in which I know you feel
a deep interest. But 1 send you
a literary Journal, in which you
wilt find a well written article on the
subject.
It appears that the Baptist mis
sionaries have in the course of thir
ty years, accomplished the hercu
lean task of translating the Sacred
Scriptures into more than forty of
the Eastern dialects; and that
translations of them are in pro
gress into the vernacular languages
of the islands of Ceylon and Java.
It also appears that there are in In
dia and Ceylon 140 native schools,
under the direction of the society,
in which 11,000 native children are
not merely taught to read and write,
but they acquire also, by writing
dictation, the elements of useful
knowledge in arithmetic, grammar,
astronomy, geography, natural
philosophy, history, chronology,
&c. at an annual expense of about
seven shillings and sixpence for
each child.
Generosity. —Before Mr. Canning,
the late Minister of Great Britain
to the United States, embarked for
his own country, he left with Mr.
Colden SSO as a donation to the
Apprentices Library, and SSO for
the Mercantile Library. The gen
erosity of this act is greatly enhan
ced by the circumstance of his
having requested, that it should
not be mentioned until he had left
the shores of the United States.
