situated on the head waters of the river St. Marks, about 80 miles to the east of Fort Scott, and perhaps more than 100 from where the army set out. Col. Milton who had been detained at Fort Early by sickness, arrived at Fort

Scctt, with M'Intosh and his warriors, on the day the army marched. They intended to follow on, and join their comrades in arms, as speedily as possible. We are much gratified to learn, that gen. Jackson has magnanimously given general Gaines the active command of the army. It the Indians mean to make a stand against us, a battle has no doubt been already fought. MORE INDIAN MURDERS. Mr. Laprade from Fort Jackson has informed us, that 12 per

sons have been recently murdered near the Poplar Spring in Alabamv a Teritory, three of whom, William Butler Esq. Capt. William Lcc'znd Mr. Gardner, were from Jones county in this state. The two first having represented their county in-the Legislature are well known they were all excellent men and deservedly ranked among our most estimable citizens. Ib.

INDIAN B ATTLE. Milledgeville, April 17. Captain Callis, who has just arrived in this place from Fort Hawkins, has politely famished us with the following highly important intelligence: About the 6th inst. General Jackson attacked and burnt the Mickasukae toun; with an inconsiderable loss on his part. The loss of the Indians is not stated. Previous to and after the action, a number of the enemy surrendered themselves prisoners. All their resources (among which were 1 000 head of cattle) were taken or destroyed. . The celebrated prophet Francis, & one of the principal chieftains, were hanged. General Jackson afterwards proceeded to St. Marks, and took possession of the fortress without opposition. It is the impression, that this blow has been so decisive, that the war with the Indians is now at an end, and the Georgia militia will soon return to their homes.

1 cannot say much in favor of the city. The streets are narrow and irregular. The population is said to be from ico to 120 thousand. Yesterday the King was proclaimed King of Portugal, Algarve and Brazils. You may look for the return of the frigate in June." Private accounts from the Congress Frigate, which bore our three Commissioners, Rodney, Graham, and Bland, to the South, and which was, at the last dates, at Rio Janeiro, represent the conduct of the Portuguese authorities to our Commissioners, not to have been -marked by any very friendly feeling or hospitable deportment. On the contrary, it is suggested that they were received with a sort ot indifference, amountinjg nearly to rudeness. Some dilliculty arose too, between the officers of the Congress & the government, respecting a seaman of the frigate, iequired to be de

livered up as a Portuguese citizen; in which Capt. Sinclair is said to have exhibited the spirit which belongs to our naval character. Of these occurrences we have heard only from general report, and know nothing of the particulars : nor. perhaps, if we did, would they be sulliciently important to narrate. If they are, wc shail no doubt have them in time. hitel.

feet on the first or" the present year. Public notice has been given at Corfu, that the commercial flag of the country, as settled by the constitution, is lodged at a place where it may be inspected, & serve as a model for the flags of all vessels belonging to the country. Daily Adv. COMMUNICATED. Notice is hereby given, that a meeting of the citizens of the town of Madison and the county generally, as far as they feel themselves interested, will be held at. maj. Henry Ristine's on Monday the 25th inst. at u o'clock, for the purpose of forming a Bible Society. It is hoped that the friends of religion and Society will attend.

FROM LAGUIRA. New Turk, April 27. Captain Dominick informs, that the late repulse of Bolivar, at Cabrera, was by no means decisive. In that action Morillo was wounded, and lost one whole regiment of black troops, called his guides, about 450 strong. Bolivar was still in possession of San Ferdinando, the Key to the provinceof Carraccas, and the roy. alists were in continual fear of further attacks. Capt. D. with 30 other vessels, was embargoed 20 days for the purpose of conveying the royal troops to Porto Cabello, in case Bolivar had been successful.

NOTICE. ALL persons whose notes have become payable for lots in Brownstown, purchased at the public sale, are informed that the same will be put in suit, unless settled by the 15th of June next.JOHN M'COR MICK.

THE U. S. FRIGATE CONGRESS. We have been obligingly favored with the following Extract of a letter from ' a gentleman on board the Congress. The letter was brought to Bristol, R. I. by the brig IF, from Rio Janeiro, & was received in town by this morning's eastern mail. The, extract is interesting, as it contains the first information from the frigate since her arrival in South America. N. T. Com. Adv. U. S. Frigate Congress, ? Rio Janeiro jtb February, 1 3 1 8. 3 Dear Sir. "We arrived here on the 29th of Jan. after a passage of 57 days. Nothing worthy of remark occurred, during the passage. We leave here to-morrow for the river La Plata, which will be as far south as the frigate will proceed. "The harbor of Rio is good, spacious, and very easy of access.

Republic of the Ionian Isles. Late Gibraltar papers received by Mr. Topliffi contain several documents relative to the establishment of the government of the United States at the Ionian Islands in pursuance of the peace of Paris. At some time during the last year, a legislature of the Ionian Islands was convoked by Sir Thomas Maitland, the British commissioner, who unanimously agreed upon a constitutiontl charter for the government of the republic. Three delegates, Cardi, Theotoky, and Bulzo, were in July last despatched to London with the charter, to obtain its ra. tification by the prince regent. These deputies were graciously received by the prince regent, and after their return, the legislative assembly was again convoked, to receive the intelligence of the ratilication of the charter. By a clause of the charter, the legislative assembly, who drew it up, are to be the first Parliament. The constitutional charter was to be promulgated on the 28th of Decembcr, ana was carried into ef
