Horrible effects of Superstition . Governor Harrison has just received a dispatch from Fort Wayne, communicating the following extraordinary and melancholly information : “ Some short time ago a Sawanoc man informed the chiefs of his tribe, that the Great Spirit had appeared to him and commanded him to acquaint the Red people, that he was determined to destroy them all unless they would forbear to drink Whiskey, and that it was his pleasure that the persons who were in the habit of practising Witchcraft should be forced to give up their Medicine or Magic Bag, or to be punished with death. The chiefs immediately determined to obey what they supposcd to be a Divine mandate ; the inspired person was called upon to designate those who were the objects of the Great Spirit’s anger, and those were immediately made to surrender the implements of their art. Fortunately the delusion produced no further effects amongst the Shawanoes. “ But the Delawares who also employed the Prophet to discover the magicians of their tribe, were not content with this mild punishment, but immediately pronounced lenience of death upon all those whom he designated, and terrible to relate, three miserable wretches were instantly seized, and committed alive to the Flames. One of them is Teteboxke, the head chief of the nation, a man of 80 years of age, and long the object of their reTerence and esteem. Several others were under sentence, and expected to undergo the same fate." We learn that the Governor has dispatched an express to the Delaware tribe, with a talk to the chiefs, forcibly remonstrating against a further prosecution of their sanguinary project, and if possible to open their eyes to the fatal delusion they labor under from the arts of an infamous imposter, and we flatter ourselves that his influence will be sufficient to save the unhappy victims whole fate may have been yet suspended.

The last mail brought no addition to our former stock of news, we have therefore entirely filled our paper with the French official Journals,
