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 r? en board, all of whom have c ,c d with the yellow fever. 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, 11 is supposed that the yellow fever TV?* 8 1 be cases in our neighborhood are Mostly billious. f’uiucoiHK, (Ohio) Sept. G. . , n ° time since the first settlement 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 lor, residents of the Town of Peters burg, Virginia have entered their names, and are preparing to emigrate to the settlement established at Cape Mesurado, by the Colonization Socie * 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. From the Savannah Republicanof Oct. 9. 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 son’s Island previous to the sailing of the Sea Gull, Rich il M Hotter, Lieut, loth Aug. 1823. Geo. W.

He left behind him the following: paper:— Philadelphia. Pear .Mother —l do not think you know where I am ; I was put on board the Neptune, Capt.

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. JAMES PARR.
