The following whimsical evi dence appears in the course of one 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.

Captain Hayes was chased out of the Streights ol Gibraltar by 3 small Spanish priva teers. July 12th, 30 leagues west ol the Streights of Gibraltar, was brought to and spoken by a Col ombian brig of war.

S. VH2-V 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 dient Strv’t. BEN. O’FALLON. U. S. Jigt. for Ind. Jiff airs. Gen lVm. Clark , Hupt.lnd. Affairs. Baltimore Aug. 19. 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 ? Extractor a letter from London dated June 27th, 182:1. “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.

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. N. Y. Eve.
