July 9.— The Senate elected Littleton W. T-.zr.- wui-t., of Virginia, President pro. t in. After which the Tariff Bril was taken up, which on Saturday had been ordered to be read a third time. Mr. White ro-e to move to postpone the previous or-; tiers, in order to t ake up an Indian Bill, bur gave way for j the purpose oi having the Tariff bill passed. The hiii to alter and amend the act imposing duties on fmnorts was then read a third tunc, and the question being on its passage— A discussion took place, in which Mr. Grundy, Mr. Webster, Mr. King, Mr. Clay, and Mr. Ilayue, panic:- ; pated. j lr was contended by Mr. Grundy, and the other op ponents of the bill, that the bill as amended by the Sen-; ate was worse than the bill as it came from tho House, | and that while they would have voted for the latter with j reluctance, they could not vote fur the other on any con-1 sideration. Mr. Gtundy said that an examination into j the operation of the bill had satisfied him that although the a Iterations had produced a diminution .n tho reve-j jnae, they had been such as could be productive of no eifectu d relief to those who had been so long complain. J ling of the injustice and inequality of the system. The! (reductions had been made on articles which were luxu-1 !nes, mid nut on such as entered into the necessary con-; j sumption of the great body of the people. The argil-; ■ merit of Mr. King was similar in its character. He rc-i [gardedthe bill as made worse by the alterations ot tho j.Senne; and contended that the bill was neither more !nor less than the scheme which the Senator from Ken-! jtucky hud produced at the commencement of the ses-. huon, to tike the duty from the unprotected articles, | leaving all other articles untouched. Mr. llayne was j opposed to the biii because it embodied the principle to j which he was opposed, of protection to the munulac- j tures of the North, to the injury of the Southern people, j To these arguments, it was replied that tho iScmte j hill h id reduced the revenue to a lower scale by 250 orj i ■'§300,00(1 than the hill did us it cams from the House;! j and although the duty on the woollens had been a little i j increased in the .Senate, it was less by nearly half a| 'million than the duty on those fabrics by the existing! ■jliw. It was asserted that the bill protected the great j interests of the countey, without operating injuriously j |on any; but that, on Jic contrary, it embrace J protee : lion in a modified degree-, w ith relict to those who are J complaining. It embodied concession. There was 1 concession in tho reduction oi the duty cn negro cloths j to u mere nominal duty. It appeared as though no con-j cession would be sJ is factory which did not goto that i point re it would ruin those who made it. It was j j shewn* at the of duties by the bill as it now! i -'amis, from those of th-e existing law, amounts to about 1377,000, iu woollens ulotie. That the bill was in eve jry respect superior to the existing law was doiaonstrat-! ed bv comparison; ,*iul it was urged on the opponents | of the present bill, that, as they would have voted ac cording to their own statements ibr the biii. as it came from the House, : ad as that bill embodu d the principle of protection, and as tiro existing law was the subject ol constant and lond ccmjblaint, it would be better to take his bill, which a I >o embraced the principle of protec tion, and which w: is certainly less likely to produce com plaints than the e.'istiog law. Tiie bill was then passed, by the following vote ; YEAS—Mes.-j-s. Bell, Be iron, Buckner, Ghantbers, Clay, Clayton, Itedlas, Dickerson, Dudley, Ewing, Foot, Frelinghuyscn, Headricks, If ill, Holmes, Johnston, Knight, Murcy, Naed.nn, Prentiss, Robbins, Robinson, Ruggles, Seymour, f-ilsbee, Smith, Spngue, Tipton* Tomlinson, Waggufcrm, M obster, Wilkins—32.

So the bill wus passed. 33JLi3£R The latest in form a lion we have received is contained in the following articl'd from the Globe of July 6. “ Information has reached rb.e War Department from the head quarters of General Atkinson, foot oi Illinois Rapids, the 23J Jane, stating that General Atkinson was to march on that day vkh the Illinois militia, and about 100 regul r troops to attack the Indians who were sta tioned on Rock River, in the neighborhood of the Four L ikes, where, they detach small parties ot 12, 20, and 10 j men to annoy the frontiers and commit depredations—i that on the lOtii, Capt. Snyder’s company of volunteers ! had a rencontre <yt the head of Plain river, with a party! of 40 or 50 Indians, and killed five, with a loss of three j jon the part ot the whites—that on the same day General! i Dodge, at the head oi 21 men, fell in with a party o: 11 j Sac Indians, etrongly posted under the bank of a lake ou ;the Poketahca, and succeeded in killing the whole num ber, having three of his own party wounded—th t about I the same time one white man was killed on the Da Pave j river, another on the Bureau, and five near the Blue ! Mound diggings—that General Atkinson expected to be i aponthf ground at that time occupied by the 1 ui ais on , the 30th June—and that by employing some of the prin jcipal then of the Winnebagoca and Pptt-awattomios, he Iliad succeeded through the former, in rescuing the two i females captured by the hostile Indians, who had been i restored to their friends.” Fivm the Nat ional Intelligencer of July 9. i The last Western Mail brings accounts of skirmishes between small bodies of .Militia and detached bands oi' Indians, in which several of the Whites were killed, and, |ns we have anticipated, every Indian discovered put to 1 death. At the last accounts, Gen. Atkinson, with 506j ] Regulars, and 3000 Mounted Militia, had taken up the! iiine of march for the main body of Indians (at the Fouri j Lakes,) a distance of about a hundred rules.

Our readers will recollect, that some time last year, the American ship Friendship, on a trading voyage to j the Island of Sumatra, in the East-In tics, was pillaged! by the Malays, and a part of the crew murdered, for which offence, as soon us information reached our Go vernment, the U. S, trigate Potomac, Capt. Downes, was dispatched to Sumatra, in order to obtain satisfac tion for the murder of our countrymen, and remunera tion for the property pillaged.

S. legal Potomac, iriLE OF SUMATRA, SOO-SO, Feb. 15, 1532. I designed that you should have heard from me again ' long ere thi«. I have already on hand a letter, giving you a brier account of our visit at the Cape ot Good Hope, i which 1 thought would have been on ire way to the I. i States long before this; but I did not get it ready u sea j sot; to send ashore at Gape Town, and strange as it may I seem, we have not fallen in with any homeward bound Indianien, although on their very track. LitelSi enoeof four arrival there may have reached you long ere this, by |. the way of England. As, however, my letter is written, I have concluded to scud it, thinking that it may possibly j-afford you some small degre.^-afgratiil ration. I suppose ; know that you would like to hear something about our ; proceedings and operations at Qtialah Bc.ttoo, a town, distant about five or six miles from this place, and in fuh sight. There will be unquestionably, mmy statements , Sos the affair in different papers. Tho official report I I ! suppose will appear in the Washington papers. I have knot been favored with a perusal of that report, but presume [jit is substantially correct. As there may however be a | few items omitted in that report, I will give a brief ac-.! ; count of the affair, and as accurately as passible. Me | ; arrived at (itulah Battoo or. the Grit iust. after a passage i jof tifry-five days from the Cape of Good Hope. V, e canto ; ! in with our ship disgafised as a merchantman, and wtth t • Danish colors flying. So complete was our disguise, that : ' tiie enemy was not aware of our character. Shortly at- ■ j!ter we had dropped our anchors, Commodore Downes i ■scut a party on,shore for the purpose of reconuoitering : lithe place. This party consisted of our Ist Lieut. Mr. j jfeShubrick; Ist Lieut, of Marine, Mr. Edson; Lients. ji Finkhum, Hoff and Ingsreoll, Acting Sailing Master, jj Totten, and passed midshipman Tooly. Mr. f ; hubrick i I went as Captain of the ship; Mr. Edson, as supercargo. !; The remainder in the capacity of common sail.us, and ji were dressed in a manner conformable to their different || characters assumed. Their design was to examine the ji relative position of the different forts previous to making j! the intended attack. But they found the beach lined with !j a large body oi men, exhibiting a warlike appearance, i| and manifesting hostile intentions; consequently they did * ; not deem it prudent to land.—They therefore returned to I the ship, having obtained but an imperfect idea of thejj [place. During the absence of the party ashore, ws took ijfour Malays ns prisoners. They were exceedingly ter- I! ritiecl as they were brought over the gang way into tiie I: ship—clasped their hands—looked up to heaven—and (jcried out Allah quite lustily. Oa being interrogated, j| which were the strongest now, tiie Americans or the ’ j Malays ? they replied that they d : d not know—that they • I were from Tally-Fow. Tiie Commodore kept them on ■ j board during the night, and the next day released them. ■ Ii They proved to be poor, illiterate fishermen and appar- j Sj truly innofieireive. As soon as the information of the jj hostile appearance of the Malays ashore was announced, !| our ship presented a busy scene. An attack upon the : j! town the next morning was determined upon, and every i necessary preparation was accordingly made. At 12 o’- * clock on the morning of the 6th, all hands assigned to take part in the expedition were called, mustered, and , received their instructions. At about 2 they left the ship. ' | Here was a moment of interest. Ail before, in regard ; j|to fighting the Malays had been mere talk, but now wash M stern reality. The moment had arrived when the grand j | object ol our voyage hither was to be accomplished, felis 1 j blow was now to be struck, and victory or defeat to eu- ' sue- It seemed as though a ajiell had fallen upon the | | ship. A silence, like that amid tiie mournlul repositories • ! of tho dead reigned throughout it; each one’s thoughts ! were busied in contemplation of v.hat might be the pro. i liable fate oi hia companions in arms. The expedition 1 proceeded slowly on their midnight errand in perfect si- ; fence, save an occasional whisper from the officer in ! command, wiih muffled oars, and no*.lling but a star to j guide them to their place of disembarkment. A landing was effected near the dawn of the day, about a mile and j a half irom the town, and undiscovered by the enemy, j I The troops, amounting to 2GO men ia number, were then , i all drawn up in regular order, and under the chief com- i Inland of Lieut. Mhubrick, took up their line of march a j gainst the enemy. They hid not proceeded far along j i the beach, before they were discovered bv a native, who ! j appeared at a distance, running with full speed to give intelligence of an approaching foe. As soon as this was i perceived, Mr. felmbrick ordered his men to quicken their I I pace, to press onward, and if possible tike possession of J the forts ere the enemy should be apprised of his ap proach. They accordingly commenced a rapid march, ' which soon brought them up with the first fort, when ia detachment ol men under tho command of Lieut. Hoff j filed off, and commenced an assault upon it. 3'his fort was found to be of very difficult access, in consequence ,1 of a deep hedge of thorn bushes and brambles with which it was environed. As the entrance to ic was attended with so much difficulty, it gave the enemy time to place himself in a state of preparedness, as the whizzing of bails from his fort soon alter evinced. The natives now raised their war-whoop, and resisted most manfully. They fought indeed like lions and tigers just roused from their lair. But they fought in vain, for the fort was stormed : and soon carried. Not, however, fill almost every nidi i vidurd in it was killed. One of their chiefs, Poo-Mu. ! hornet, a man of considerable distinction among them, | & who was principally concerned in taking the “Friend i | ship,” lost his life at this fort. It is stated, that his mj. j ther-in-law was also slain here. Another woman, like, i wise met her death at thfe fort, but what her rank was j has riot as yet been ascertained. She was, however, a j brave woman, and fought with the spirit of a desperado. : A seaman by the name of John L. Dubois, who some what distinguished himself on the occasion, had just scaled one ol the ramparts, when he was severely wound ieuby a blow from a sabre in her hands ; but her own life was tiie forfeiture, for she was immediately trails-; fixed by a bayonet in the hands of the sumo individual, ;| whom she hud so severely wounded. Meanwhile, Lieut. 1 Edson, and Turret, accompanied with a corps of Ma-' i lines, had proceeded onward and boldly attacked a forte mthe rear of tho town; which alter a spirited resis lance on the part of the enemy, surrendered. Both the ! officers and marines, here, narrowly escaped wiih their I lives, tor one oi the natives in the fort had trained his ! gun ia such a manner as to take their whole body,- when , ! ne was shot down by a Marine by the name c?f llousten, I in the very act of applying a match to it. ! J Continued from the Evening Post.] !j Having possession of the forts they proceeded to fire j | them and tiie town, ana to destroy every thing of value .: I) that Was felt, (for 1 assure you some of our boys brought plunder on board,) and thus iu three hours we had the ■ satisfaction to see our “ stars and stripes”proudly wav-! | mg over cur conquered foe. We only lost two men in the | conflict, one a marine named Benjamin T. Brown, shot: . through the heart; and one a main-top man, Win. P. : Smith, shot through the head—both expired instantane-■ j ouely. Daniel li. Cole, murine, shot through the body, and Henry Dutcher, mizen-top m ai, shot through the thigh—both expected to recover. You may remember the man who took care ot tiie things lor you when youj came on board to me at New-York—his name is John■ L. Dubois, ship’s corporal—he was wounded by a Malay | woman iu attacking one of the forts. This woman was; with an Indian (probably her husband.) who was attack. ! ed and killed by Dubois. A.s soon as she saw her has-' j j band fail she had the courage to revenge him by attack-! ring Dubois with a sabre; she cut him very badly between j tiie upper joint ot the thumb and where the wrist meets; jj. the blow would have taken eff the hand 4ad it not been; i; retarded by the barrel of the musket, which was held at! tne time at a charge. The number of the enemy wasi j| estimated at from bd to 100 killed, and a vast number ■■ wounded. Tiie Rajah escaped, but the next in authority, j' with a woman oi the first order, were among the killed. It was fortunate that we attacked them so early in tho; ;■ morning, and when they so little expected us, otherwise j i am of opinion that but few of our men would have re-' ji turned on board. On the 7th we hauled our ship in with., II in a mile of the rums, and seat a tew o. our thirty-two 11 pound shut amongst those natives who had returned from • j I the dightof the day previous, which caused a dreadful! j [scampering amongst them, and killing several. Tiie; j morning of our engagement, the Commodore suffered the j : four Indians we had taken us prisoners, to be set at liber-; ty, ancr satisfying them ior their fish ; they proved to be I from Soo-Soo, and likewise friendly to us, and right slad L they were to paddle off. Palii Adam, a Rajah of a tribe near tfoo-tSoo, and son-in-iaw to tiie R j*h oi the latter pi tee, came on board the day after our bottle. This Rajah (Adam) belonged to Quailah-B "too at the time the cre w of the Friendship were murdered, and was the means of saving the lives of the captain and second mate,! Mr. B .rry, (acting s oling master with us) and two or three o' me men who were on shore at the time the mur der and outrage was committed, by securing them in his t :r; until an opportunity offered of sending them to Soo- Soo, at which place there was an American brig.—Adam j inf ormed us (he speaks good English) that as soon as the {'natives became acquainted with hie fri end shin towards-: It i the surviving crew, that they got quite outrageous, and hod he not made Iris escape, they would htv - put him to death—they took possession os ids tort, and confiscated his money—they since offered four thousand d-diars tor his head. He says that ho fears them not, and that whore he now resides he has a strong p,irty.be -:uus Irosn live hundred to a thousand warriors, lie never leaves home to visit our ship without his life-guard. The meet-; ing between -Mr. Barry and Pain Adam, was exceeding-1 iy affectionate. Adam told the Commodore that if he felt dispose:! to send his men ashore again, he would ac company them with his tr be, and render all rcqms.te 1 .fid. The Commodore inlcrmed him that ho was amply j satisfied, more particularly sc, as they (Quail th-P> it toe's) had exhibited white flags at each cftheir Forts since the i engagement.

The ears or peace of the xn |habitants are annoyed for those several evenings past, jvvith the reports of guns, until some families have retir |ed to their rest. As the number of the birds have ve ry much diminished, I think it almost time the practice i was d.scoutxnued ; and if it is permitted by the Coun | cil, I, for one, would wish the permission revoked.

I In relation to l lie subject of the following pub licalion, we can oniv state our information was * J jon the authority of a gon leinun direct from j Havana. A friend who loft that place on the |4th, informs us that a small vessel did arrive ias stated, from Otaoa, with persons represent ing themselves as commissioners of one of the . “ con ending parties’' in Guatirnala, but that j the government of Cuba not being satisfied wh h ■the evidence of their authori y or the power of! the party soliciting aid whom ihny represent-i ,ed, and other considerations, declined the ne gociatlon. NiiW-YoRK, July 2. The article of the Georgian, of Savannah, stating the arrival of commissioners from the , ! government ofGuatimala at Havana, to sur render Central America to the King of Spain, .has been republished in almost all the papers I of this city, and rather severely commentedi * % * j j upon by some of them. | Several persons, natives of Control America, ■deeply interested in the ultimate success of her efforts for the precious acquisi ioa of indepen -1 denee and liberty, have been quite startled at thxs publication ; as they would have been rather disposed to expect that a rumor of this nature J would have been treated with the contempt it j deserves. They certainly have been under I the impression that 11 years of a uniform and general expression of the whole Central Amc jrica for independence and liberty, would have impressed our brethren of the North with the 'idea, that great as our contentions may be, and; numerous and obstinate as parlies have become j ;in our country, the grand object of oitf political] existence, of our national liberty, is sacred and .dear to every one, under whatever colors, j Be assured, gentlemen, that the contending i parties in Central America, under whatever i vicissitudes, never thought of such a retrograde i ... 1 . “ i and humiliating step as returning to the colon ,ial slavery. Be sure, and mind our words, ; gentlemen, that no such commissioners have been sent from the government of Guatimala do Havana, and while furdior information is i # ... expected, to put to silence this ridiculous and j nonsensical rumor, you may safely scorn at the J mos- absurd invention of the enemies of our in-! dependence. We beg of you to have the kindness of mak-! ing known to the public this communication, as! ; expressive of the feelings of the inhabitants of j ; Cen! ral America. !
