IAN DEPREDATIONS.

ft of a letter from a tcspectI gentleman, to the editors I the Savanna Republican, ed I St. Mary's June 27, 1817. Deplorable, at this moment, I situation of Camden courir Us inhabitants expecting, but Rowing how soon the Indi- 'N come dovn upon them,

-with a powerful force, leaves them the alternative of the prospect of Ijeing murdered with their families, or of abandoning their homes and plantations. " Had the General and State Governments determined to give up this part of the country altogether, they tcould not more effectually have accomplished their desire, than by the conduct which has been pursued since the period when, war was declared against Great Britain. " After the skirmish of the handful of troops at Point Petre, the inhabitants were left to protect themselves. Invaded by the British, who plundered, destroyed and inveighled away property to a very considerable amount, they were driven from their homes, and had the movements of the Indians been more active, so as to co-operate with their allies as we expected, the property which the citizens had saved, and probably their lives would have fallen a sacrifice. " At the return of peace they rejoiced with their fellow citizens throughout the Union but alas ! their duration of happiness was but short. A few months after, the Seminole Indians commenced a partial depredation on their property, becoming more bold, they drove off large quantities of cattle, and at length murdered a woman and her two children ; the one so young that it had not hair enough on its little head to afford a grasp to the savage to tear offits scalp, which was evidently at. tempted. ' Application for aid was now earnestly solicited from our government, to which, alter a considerableflapse of time, a reply was made, that the proper authority might order out such of the militia as might be necessary, but that they must find their own provisions." Was the government of Georgia without funds or credit, as to be obliged to issue such an order ? or was the executive too cautious to assume a proper responsibility on so urgent an occasion ? or was he, indifferent to the fate of a frontier county in the low country, who sends with its senator, but three votes to the Legislature ? how could he expect that in such times of universal scarcity, that provisions could be obtained, in a country, which, like all others on the sea board, never makes more than half e nough for its consumption, and when he was informed too, that many persons had been obliged to abandon their plantations. " Since the administration of Washington, this county has always had From one to two companies of troops to protect its frontiers. But since the retreat of capt. Messias from Point Petre, we have never had the smallest protection from the General Govcrnment. " The writer feels for the present and preceding republican ad-.

ministrations, the highest respect and can attribute their late conduct as it respects this distant frontier, only to the want of a perfect knowledge of its situation. " We are now, it is said, on the eve of an event which will put our sea board all in commotion

the invasion vof East .Florida. Whether, this circumstance will not excite the suspicious gov.eminent of Spain to stimulate the Indians against us, is uncertain ,but does it not call on our State Govern ment to send us a force on our extensive frontier, until it can be relieved by one from the General Government!"

Extract tf q Utter from Capt. Wm. N. Williams, master of the seb'r. Hannah of Baltimore, dated PUERTO CABELLO, ON THE SPANISH MAIN, June2ist, 18 17.

" After leaving the Capes we had a fine passage to within 10 leagues of Laguira, our port of destination, when we were unfortunately becalmed and fell in with a Spanish privateer, the crew of which boarded and brought us into this port, contrary to all law. The vessel and cargo were immediately condemned, and both sold on the 14th inst. " Mr. Wilson as soon as informed of these pjoceedings, came down from Laguira, but our utmost endeavors for a restoration of the property were of no avail. What will add to the astonishment of all Americans is, that instead of being taken by what are called the Patriots, whom we had cause to dread, and who are at war with these robbers, we were captured by the very people we came to feed the Spaniards that acknowledge the government of tfre king of Spain. The mauraudcrs also robbed me of part of my clothes. I shall remain jiere two or three weeks longer, in the expectation of hearing from a judge who lives about 200 miles from this place, on whose sanction or reversion of this condemnation much depends." Extract of a letter from an officer of the U. S. Navy in the Mediterrannean, to an officer on this station, dattd PORT M AK0N. MAY 24,181 7. " Algiers is rapidly recovering her consequence. She will in all probability have in the course of this summer two frigates, (one from"he Grand Seignor, and one from the French)four heavy sloops and eight or ten vessels from 1 2 to 18 guns. ' A schooner built at Leghorn for the Regency touched at this port a few days since; her appearance was beautiful and she is calculated to carry it guns. It is rumored a British fleet is coming out to this sea, for what purpose we have not learnt- A Span, ish squadron came in here a few days ago from Algiers, consisting of one ship of the line, a frigate and sloop of warj our sailors soon had it that we were blockaded, and 300 re-entered for the Washington, and about 160 for the Constellation. " The Spanish squadron had sailed for Tunis. They had a hot press the morning they departed, which has occasioned deep distress among the fishermen and watermen. " The British Sloop of War, " Erie," arrived here from Algiers; her officers state that the Dey has received a frigate from
