The treaty between the Florida
Indians and the United States was
signed at the encampment near St.
Augustine, on the 19th nit. The
particular object of the Treaty is
not stated in the St. Augustine pa
per—We understand, however,that
the Indians have agreed to abandon
those fine sections of country on
the Micassookie, Talahoosie and
Alochua, which they now occupy,
and to locate themselves between
Lampa Bay and Charlotte harbor.
These lands are said to be among
the most valuable in the territory—
the soil being equally adapted to
the culture ot Sugar Cane, Corn or
Sea Inland Cotton, and as it is ex
pected that the seat ol government
will be located in their vicinity, it
affords a fine opening to an indus
trious population.
SICKNESS AT NATCHEZ.
Letters dated the Ist Sept, state
that the disease continued to rage
without any abatement. The wri
ter estimates that the whole popu
lation remaining in the city could
not exceed 200 in number, out of
whom 49 persons had died during
the last 5 days. One account says
1 “tere has not been a single in
stance ol recovery from the epidem
lc* Much sickness exists in the
surrounding country —some of the
inhabitants, by merely entering
Natchez on business, and retiring,
have contracted the fever and died.
Nnv Orleans , Sejtt. 4. —We learn
that a flat-boat arrived at the upper
quarentine this morning having on
hoard one person only, a hoy, al
jVc< Ihe boy represents that the
boat left Natchez a few days since,
having together with himself, four

Ncw-Orleans is represented as
JC,n B ‘cry healthy for the season.
( Georgetown t (Ky.) Aug. 15. —It is
very sickly in Kentucky, and there
is every prospect of its being the
™ost fatal season we have ever had
the state. In Franklin county,

this country, has it been more sickly
•)e believe, Ilian at the present. 11l
tovvn tnd indeed throughout the
whole of the adjacent country, there
are but Jew families who are not more
or less afflicted. The fever has not
assumed a very malignant form, and
we have the consolation to state, that
but very few deaths have as yet occur
red.
A letter from New Holland, Lan
caster County, Pa. dated 15th Sept,
represents it as very sickly about
that place, ft says, there remain
very few, families, of whom there
are not some sick. Whole families
have died, leaving neither father,
mother, nor one out of five children.
In a circle of four miles round K—’s
there have been, in little more than
a month, sixty-three funerals. No
day has passed over us in that time
in which there were not at least
four numbered for interment, and
many days we hear of ten ! The
diseases are Dysentery and Billious
Fever—most deaths by Dysentery.
’1 he returns of the votes in Indiana
as far as they have been received, are
“ ten to one of a majority against a
Convention”—the avowed object of a
call of the Convention was to change
the constitution, with a view of intro
ducing slavery into the state.
One hundred and si.v persons of co

burg, Virginia have entered their

*
One of the free colored persons,
(says the Petersburg Republican
of Sept. 16) who left this town for
Africa some time ago, returned
here on Friday night for his family.
He speaks in the most enraptured
terms of the native country of the
Blacks, describing it as the garden
spot of the world, whither every
free man of color should immedi
ately repair, l'his statement we
had from the person himself, who
is an inteligent man, and possessed
of considerable property. His rep
resentations, and the anxiety man
ifested by him to return to Africa,
will doubtless have a powerful in
fluence on his colored brethren,
many of whom we should suppose,
now that their fears are removed,
will prepare to join their comrades
in their native land.
Salt. —The Syracuse (Onondaga)
Gazette, speaking of the manufac
ture of salt at Salina, and the works
adjacent, says the manufacture is
vet comparatively in embryo.—
Many strangers have visited the
works the present season; to wit
ness the process, both by solar eva
poration and boiling. The follow
ing calculation will give an idea of
the amount now manufactured :
At Salina there are about fifty
blocks of buildings—at Liverpool
twenty Geddes thirteen, aver
aging fourteen kettles each, and
making, in the whole 83 blocks ;
each of these is capable of making
forty bushels of s alt per day,
amounting to three thousand three
hundred and twenty 7 bushels, or six
hundred and sixty-four barrels,
v hich commands a quick sale at 14s
and 14s 6 d per barrel, making the
amount manufactured in a day
equivalent to one thousand one
hundred and sixty two dollars, and
exceeding three hundred thousand
dollars a year. It is expedient to
add. that formerly many complaints
were made respecting the quality
of the salt, which have been obvia
ted by the laws enacted the last
session of the legislature, directing
the manner of inspection, which
renders it impossible for the man
ufacturer, if disposed, to defraud
the public, as no salt can be sold
previous to inspection, and the in
spectors arc faithful in the dis
charge of their duty.
New-York, Sept. 26.
Cold Weather. —A severe white
frost was experienced on last Mon
day and Tuesday, and ice of con
siderable thickness was found in a
number of places. We have had a
slight frost in our neighborhood.
The tread wheel has been ap
plied by Mr. Van Haythusen to
the propelling oi barges on the ca
nals. The apparatus is made light
and scpaiate from the barge; and
it is found that two men can pro
pel a barge by it, at the rate of five
miles an hour. The saving m the
expense of houses and track roads,
promises to make this application
of human power very valuable.
Salem baz.
rare spectacle. —A sloop horn St.
Alban’s, in Vermont, lias reached
N. Y. through the Northern Caoal,
with 12 to 1400 bushels wheat and
other good things. This would have
been deemed impossible six years
ngo. On passing Troy, the militia
beingout, they hailed the interesting
stranger with a salute ofcannon and
music. The captain intends plying
as a packet between N. York and St.
Alban’s. True, indeed—imagination
can hardly keep pace with the pro
gress of improvement in our vast coun
try.
From Thompson's Island —By the
arrival of the U. S. schr. Allen , Lt.
Comd’t Legare, in 11 days from
Thompson’s Island, we learn that
Com. Porter left that place in the
steam galiot Sea Gull, in company
with the Allen, and the sloops of
war John Adams and Peacock, all
hound for Hampton Roads, and was
seen by Lieutenant Legare, on the
morning of the 24th inst. at which
time, it affords us pleasure to state,
his health was nearly reinstated.—
The sickness which prevailed at
the island had increased in such an
alarming degree that the whole
squadron had been ordered to sea,
leaving but a guard of marines in
change of the public works. Many
deaths had occured since our last
accounts. The Allen experienced
a series of heavy N.Easterly winds,
and on the 24th inst. she lay hull
to for ten hours—she is bound to
Washington, and has put in here
foi water and to repair her sails &c.
This vessel was formerly the pi
ratical schr. Catalina, which was
commanded by the noted pirate
Diableto, and captured by Lieut.
Watson on the spot where the gal
lant Allen, fell, and received her
name in compliment to his memo
ry-
Pirate Captured. —Accounts at
New-York from Campeachy state
that a Spanish schr. had been fit
ted out by a number of merchants
at that place, which, on the Ist of
August, oft that harbor, attacked
a pirate, and captured her,aft’r kill
ing 5 of the villains in the’eontest.
At the last dates from F.urope the
Cotton trade was very brisk. Goods
were rising at Manchester: Some
of the weavers had turned out for
more wages. At Burnsley they
had blacked their faces, and in the
night destroyed some of the houses
and property of those* who had re
turned to work on terms prescribed
by the masters.
The amount of Flour inspected
in the town of Alexandria for one
year, ending on the 11th Septem
ber, was one hundred and one thou
sand and fifty-five barrels and three
thousand five hundred and forty
nine half barrels wheat, and forty
barrels rye.
Montpelier, Vt. Aug. 28.
The Late Hail Storm. —The storm
in extent, was about three miles,
from north to south, and one and a
half from east to west ; its duration
was nearly half an hour, during
which time hail fell almost suffi
cient to cover the surface of the
ground for neatly one mile square
in the centre of the storm. These
hail stones were of an enormous
size, being from six to eight inches
in length with ragged sides and ir
regular forms; they 7 descended
with such remarkable force as to
split shingles off of the rooffs of
buildings, break window glass, and
penetrate into every part of many
dwelling houses, and compelled
some families to flee to their cell
ars for safety. Some parts of the
clouds were seen to disengage
themselves from the main body
and dash upon the ground.
In walking the fields it is not un
common to find tops, and even
whole trees carried from three to
six rods from their former stations,
into cleared lands, dumb beasts
with their backs severely bruised,
dead fowls, &c.—And true it is,
that after the lapse of more than
20 days, and after many heavy
showers large dents are now to be
seen upon the walls of the build
ings, and sound timber fences,
made by the hail, and wobdlands
are left with the naked and gloomy
appearance of autumn. Some of
our farmers in that quarter have
sustained severe losses by the de
struction of crops and damage of
fruit trees ; some fields being part
ly, others wholly stripped of their
foliage.— A scene like the above,
where the elements are let loose
to destroy vegetation, and restrain
ed from taking the lives of human
beings, senes among a thousand
other proofs, to convince us of the
all wise and superintending provi
dence of Him “who rides upon
the whirlwind and directs the
storm.”
New Jerusalem—Something New.
Bowling-Green, K. Aug. 16.
The founder of this new city calls
himself JESUS CHRIST, but is the
same person who formerly went by the
name of M’Donald, a Tailor by profes
sion. He is about fifty years of age,
small stature, and his head is some
what bald. He has been preaching
occasionally in this place, for about
twelve months, the doctrine of living
forever in this world in our present
shape!! He says he is the Christ,
because he was the first that embraced
the doctrine of living forever on this
earth—he quotes many parts of the
Bible to shew if we have faith we
“ shall never die,” ami says “ God
9iirely will not lie adding that ma
ny of the disciples of the former Christ
never died, or that the Bible furnishes
no evidence of the fact. He takes the
Bible as bis guide, and is conversant
with every chapter and verse therein.
He possesses good natural talents, but
his education is quite limited. He
was formerly a Roman Catholic, and
some say a priest;—hot the latter we
are inclined to discredit.
The centre of this New Jerusalem
is situated about half a mile from our
little village, and the only building as
yet is a little hut, built in the shape
of a tent with little poles about two
or three inches in circumference, and
covered with dirt. Curiosity promp
ted us a few days since to visit this
humble habitation. We found the old
gentleman engaged in cooking his
breakfast. He appeared pleased at
the visit, and conducted us to a seat.
He seems to live a frugal life—a large
gourd of water composed his beverage,
three or four old boards afford him a
place to repose Ins head, and one or
two more make him a temporary desk.
He appears quite cheerful and com
municative—he shewed apian of this
wonderful City ; —it is to be fourteen
miles square, and it is contemplated
to erect one or two good brick houses
this fall. As absurd as this doctrine
will appear at first to the reader, his
astonishment will be increased when
we inform him that twelve have actu
ally declared in its favor, and some of
them commenced preaching! The best
of all, however, is, that some of the
convertsare worth about 4 or 85,000 ! !
—Let us assure our distant readers
that this “ Live Forever” is not a
deranged man. Ilis schemes, inten
tions, &c. we cheerfully leave to oth
ers to judge of, without •ffering a com
ment ourselves. All we feel disposed
to say, is, he is an inoffensive old man ;
and if he and his disciples can live for
ever, let them do it.
A large Haul. —The Receiver
General of Lower Canada is an
nounced as having illegally taken
out of the public chest about 140,-
000/.—Some of the Canadian pa
pers call it a defalcation ; others a
dificiencij ; and others again repre
sent it as a mere misappropriation
of the public monies by the execu
tive government, adding that Mr.
Caldwell has xvarratits to account
for this enormious deficiency.—A
strong suspicion, however is afloat
that it is in fact an unwarrantable
defalcation ; because it has been
attended bra failure of the mercan
tile concern, of which Mr. C is a
partner.
Letters published in the N. Y. Daily
Advertiser of the 18th inst. state that
the donations from Havanna to the
Cortes are great, and it is supposed
they will amount to ft 150,000 in that
city. The Bishop has given upwards
of 5000 dollars and u all Bishops in
Spain were like him, the war would
soon be brought to a happy termina
tion. Upwards of 00,000 dollars has
already l>een forwarded, including
40,000 sent the last week in August,
in a British sloop of war.

ARRIVAL OF COMMODORE PORTER.
The U. S. steam Galliot Sea Hull
witli Commodore Porter oii board ar
rived at this port yesterday about 10
o’clock A. M. from Thompson’s Is
land, via. St. Marys, in want of fuel.
She left Thompson’s Island the 16th of
September, and after experiencing a
series of heavy N. and N. K- gales, be
ing nearly out of provisions and redu
ced to an allow ance of a quart ol wa
ter per man, put into Amelia Island
for a supply oa the 3d inst. She was
piloted from St. Marys here through
the inland passage, by Lieut. Paine of
the Charleston station, in 37 hours,
and is expected to leave this place to
morrow for Charleston.
During the stay of Com. P. every
possible attention has been paid to
him by the civil and military auth^ri-
ties. In two hours after his arnva
the different volunteer corps of tin
city paraded under Col. Marshall,
and marched to the wharf opposite to
where the Sea Gull lay, when a salute
was fired from the whole line in hon
or of the gallant commodore. This
was received with yards manned, and
answered by three hearty cheers. A
salute was also fired from the revenue
cutter Florida, capt. Harrison. In
the afternoon a committee of the city
council waited on the commodore
with an invitation to a public dinner,
which lie declined accepting on ac
count ol the delicate state of his
health ; an offer to furnish a supply of
refreshments to his crew at the ex
pense of the city was accepted.
The officers now on board the Sea
Gull, are in excellent health with the
exception of Coin. P. who labors un
der a very painful affection in the up*
per joint of one of his arms, occasioned
by his late severe illness.
The following is a list of the deaths
of officers which occurred at Thomp

Pear .Mother —l do not think you
know where I am ; I was put on board
the Neptune, Capt. Rich, by my un
cle ; but before that I was put into the
Lunatic Asylum ; my uncle threaten
ed me, I should stop there all my life,
if I did not immediately consent to go
to America. I did go—here I am,
without any money ! Must I perish ?
No! I have now bought some nux
vomica, rank poison—which will all
my present ills compose. Farewell.
