this spot to proceed to the National Fort to deposite in the earth the bowels of this great man. The senate met in the evening of the 30th. and elected general lloyer president of Hayti, who on the 1 st of April took the oath ofoflice, and every thing has been conducted in the greatest order. The following details of a hurricane in Europe, are extracted from the latest foreign-papers. Liverpool, March 17. The most interesting acounts have been received from all parts of the coast, as to the effects of the dreadful hurricane on Wednesday night. The damage sustained by shipping is immense; and, what is still .more lamentable, it has been, in several instances, accoinwith the loss of lives. The Martha of White-haven, laden with coal, foundered in Douglass Bay the crew perished. Several vessels were ashore in the same bay. A letter from the master of the Romulus, an American vessel, which was compelled to run for Ramsgatc from Downs, states, that a ship totally dismasted, went down under his stern, and all hands on board perished. A S wedish vessel, in driving from her anchorage, ran down a revenue cutter and two brigs. The crew of the former were saved, with the exception of one man. The fate of those of the brigs has not been acertained. Both of them are said to have been coal laden, and one of them is supposed to to have been the Hartley, Cornier, from Shields, for Grenada. ' One vessel was sunk in entering Ramsgate, and the whole crew drowned. A number af vessels including the Marquis of Wellesley, regular Indiaman, and the Asia, extra Indiaman, are on shore between Ramsgate and Deal Upwards of 200 vessels, most of them more or less damaged, took .shelter in Ramsgate. A French vessel from Havre was lost on Portland beach, and all on board perished. The gale of wind was, at Portsmouth, more violent than ever was known ; the tide rose six inches beyond its greatest height at any former period, and there was so enormous a difference between the morning and e vening tides, as five perpendicular feet. The stairs, piers and seawalls about Hasler and south Sea Castle, are considerably damaged. The whole of that beautiful and useful work, thenewpier at Hyde, is said to be completly destroyed. A French West Indiaman, named La Jeune Cecile de Caen, drove on the rocks between the Prawi & Start Point, and went to pieces ; none of the crew were saved. At

Yarmouth Shields and Sunderland, several vessels had been driven ashore ; in Yarmoush roads, one vessel foundered : the fate of the crew unknown." The ship, ping escaped with little or no damage at Falmouth and Plymouth. The breakwater at the latter place had sustained no injury ; but three-stones, one of nine tons, and two of five tons each, which had been laid loose on the finished part of the work, were tvasrtfd off, m

, We have been requested to state, that a Camp Meeting will be held near this place, to commence on the 19th inst. and continue till the following Monday. Copy of a ktler from Gen. William M'fntosh commanding- the Creek Warriors to D. B. Mitchell, sy. A gent for Indian A fain. Camp, 30 miles from Mickauskie, (on the way toSawanee,) 13th April, 1818. Sir: Since I left you I have not sent you a talk of what we have done, and I now send you this. I heard yesterday of Peter McQueen being near the road we were travelling, and I took my warriors and fought him. There seemed to be a considerable number collected there. When we first began to fight them they were in a bad swampland fought us there about an hour, when they ran, and we followed them three miles. They fought us in all about three hours. We killed 37 of them, and took 98 women & children and six men prisoners, and about 700 head of cattle and a number of horses with a good many hogs and some corn. We lost three men killed and five wounded. Our prisoners tell us that there was 1 20 warriors from six different towns. From what we saw, I believe there was 200 of them. Woodward and Mr. Brown, and your son, our Agent and all the white men that live in our country, were with us through the whole fight & fought well. All my officers fought so well 1 do not know which is the bravest. They all fought like men and run their enemies. General Jackson waited for us about six miles from where we fought. After the1 light I went and joined him, and we are going this morning to fight the Negroes together. Ihey are at Suwannee, and we shall be there in four days. There was among the hostile Indians a woman that was in the boat where our friends the white people were killed on the river below Fort Scott. We gave her to her friends her husband and father were with general Jackson Major Kinnard took her himself. This is all I have to tell you. I wish you would send a copy of this to the Big Warrior and Little Prince. Your friend, WILLIAM M'JNTOSH. Brig. Gen. Coining c. W. D.B. Mitchell, Esq. L A. Maj. Woodward of Baldwin. Milleclgcville, April 28. Wc have just received information that the two Chchaw Indian

towns on Flint river, were at

tacked last Thursday by a detachment of Georgia Militia, commanded by capt. Wright. The towns were burnt and a number of Indians killed, our informant says 50 the detachment did not lose a man, and had but one wounded. The zeal, activity and courage displayed by M'Intosh and his warriors in the present campaign, entitle them to every praise. They have undergone great fatigue and privations, and hunted out the enemy from swamps and fastnesses, where he sought refuge and expected safety when vanquished. We have long been of opinion, that the most economical and expeditious mode of completing this war, would be to keep M'lntosh's command well supplied and in constant pursuit of the enemy whoin they would cut up in detail the hostile Indians can find no shelter where the friendly warriors will not follow them. M'Intosh, in the late battle, killed three of the enemy this fact is communicated by Wm. S. Mitchell (son of the agent) in a letter to his father. Journal, Philadelphia, May 7. DEATH OF CHRIS TOPHE. A letter received by a respectable mercantile house in this city, from Port-au-Prince, dated 13, says: " We have just received authentic news of the death of CHRISTOPHER It is singular, that' two of the rival sovereigns of St. Domingo, should have died within a few days of each other. Will not France eventually obtain possession of that Island ?

We understand, that the brig Rambler recently arrived at Providence, brought home, from Canton, 90,000 dollars in Specie ! Such had been her success in a trading voyage, that the above sum was over after -the purchase of her cargo at Canton. The R. performed a voyage round the world in ffteen months and twenty days! Seven months and ten days of the time she lay in port. Nnv-lork Gazette,

PHILADELPHIA, MAY. 4. Extract of a letter, received- by the brig General Jackson, rom St. Marts, dated April n, 1 8 1 3. " Admiral Brion, just arrived here from the Main, reports the capture of Carraccas and Laguira, by the Independents, and an expected attack against Porto Cabello ; the total defeat of Morillo & his army, and hi: death by a pike through his body. This may be premature. " He comes with proclamations of Bolivar,, inviting the expedition of part o( three regiments from England, (which are now here waiting for advice,) to join him under very flattering prospects. I can procure none of those papers or I would forward them."
