My infor mant adds, that he has conversed with some of the most respectable members of the colonv. one

of whom told him that all the Spanish Au.erican provinces had proposed to Joseph Bonaparte, through agents sent to him at his residence near Philadelphia, that if he would recognize their independence, they would recognize him as king of Spain, and assist with men and money to replace him on the throne, as they can spare both, if a revolution takes place in the mother country ; that Joseph's party in old Spain was very powerful, and there was no doubt he would be proclaimed king in the course of next summer by all the disaffected of that country, who were nearly two thirds of the nation, and that the army would join his party, &c. Should the expedition aarainst

St. Helena succeed, and Napoleon be once at liberty, I am of opinion, that the most of the present rulers of Europe will, in a short time be compelled to make room for others, and the founders of Demopolis, on the Totnbigbee, again, become the pride and glory of the French nation and the terror of European tyrants, but Demopolis would be deserted. Should the expedition fail, it is believed that a large proportion of the Alabama territory would be settled by French emigrants. Your obed't humble servant, BAPT1STE PIEREUX."

to be divided between thePotta

wattomies, the Chippewa and the Ottowas, as a consideration for the tract of country within the boundary of this state, lying north .f the Miami of the Lake. 9 The lands reserved by the Indians, within the purchase, are as follows, viz : by the VVyandotts, 1 2 miles square at Upper Sandusky ; by the Shawanoes, 10 miles square at Wappakoneia, 7 miles square at Lewistown, and 5 miles square at Hog-creek ; by the Senecas, 7 miles square ou the cast side of the Sandusky river, opposite Fort Seneca ; and a few individual reserves. The commissioners deserve great credit for the ability with which they have performed their mission, and for the success with which they counteracted the influence of the British, which was strenuously exerted to prevent the purchase. Scioto Gazette.

TREATY WITH THE INDIANS. We are gratified in being enabled to inform our readers, that Gen. M'Arthur, and Governor Cass have succeeded in purchasing from the Indians, all, their claims to territory within the boundary of this state, with the exception of a small tract of country, lying cast of the county of Drake, and west of the river St. Mary's, not exceeding 300 square miles in extent. This purchase has been made on terms very advantageous to the United States the amount paid for it being very inconsiderable. It consists of an annuity of 4,000 dollars to the Wyandotts one of 2,000 dollars to the Shawanoes ; and one of 500 dollars to the Senecas ; together with the sum of 3,300 dollars-annually for fifteen years,;

LARGE PUMPIONS. In none of the United States perhaps does vegetation advance more rapidly or attain greater perfection than in this state. Our

gardens, fields and forests afford daily evidence of .thl fact ; and when honiculturc aixLigriculture are properly attended tn, the veg.etation almost e xcecdj belief. We have before us a certificate of aIner Moore, jfames Wilson, John Millholland and William Clatk, of the seperate and aggregate weight of six pumpions, the product of one vine, raised on the farm of William Clark, of Whitewater township, Hamilton county, by George Butcher t tenant or said Clark, and which weighed as follows : 125I03. 122, 117, 104. 87, 68 ; together 623IUS. A nd under the signature of Wm. Millholland, and James Wtlson, we have it also certified, that there has been raised on the same farm, at the same

time, by Wm. Clark, from the seed the first season, one on ion, weighing lib. 40Z. and measuring 16 1-2 inches in circumference, and many others which measure from 12 to 16 inches. While the subject is before us, we will add another evidence, for which we can produce the most respectable testimony. There have been caubages exposed fur sale in our market, at 12 1-2 and 18 3-4 cents each, for several market days past, which were raised in the garden of a gentleman in this city, the solid heads of which measuied 3, 4 and 5 feet each in circumference, after being entirely divested of their outside leaves. One of those weighed 1 olbs. 1 202. Cincinnati Gazette,

luinpion ot the weight of oni hundred and thirty-seven pounds was brought into town a few days since, raised in the garden of Mr. Keys of this place. Several oth, ers grew ofi the same vine nearlyequal in size. Wtstern Spy. WAR RUMOR. A most ridiculous report has arisen on the continent, that a war was likely to take place between England and the United Stat;. The subject" would hirdlv' Se worth remarking upon, if it were not for the number of credulous A people whom the mere absurdity of a report cannot deter from beri licving in it. So far as our intercourse with England is public, there seems to be almost an inevitable necessity that peace should . continue. There is scarcely a spark which even enmity itself could kindle into a blaze. Never, since the continent of America has contained a bein vvh: spoke the English language, have we had so littie cause to complain of England ; and never was our friendship more necessary for her interest, or her true policy more thoroughly understood than at the present time. We hav, no fear of war with England while 1 f

tne world is at peace. If anw misunderstanding had ariwm between the diplomatic ager;t;; of.--the two countries, our firr.t ir ' : illation of it would not be from r i ; fehackledi press of France. Cu; augmentation of the navy, ai..l, completion (four for: ilL'i lion:;, may alarm the half informed ,i:iticians of the continent; bu:whatever dread thce things may excite in England, they knrrw the American policy too wii to draw from them any indication of hostility. Yankee. WOR'i II Y OF IMITATION. A short time past the wife of an overlooker ot a Farm in the neighborhood of Charlottesville, . gave birth to Four fine Children ; the mother and all of whom, a few days since, were said to be doing well. The communicator, also understood from a gentleman in Charlottesville, that a subscription paper had been handed about for the benefit of the little family, and that between three and four hundred dollars had been subscribed.
