accompanied by instructions to ascertain, as speedily as possible, the extent of the injury, and apply the whole of that sum, if necessary, to the relief of the injured and distressed. From a statement lately made in the Georgia papers, it would appear that, that sum would abundantly remunerate them for all their losses, The agent was also directed to assure the warriors, that measures would be immediately adopted to bring the commander of the expedition to trial under the laws of the United States. A commission has accordingly issued to the judges of the Federal court, as the Savannah paper has correctly stated, to hold an extra session for his trial. Nat. Int.

Savannah, July 14 The president has issued orders for the arrest of capt. Obed Wright, which the marshal of the district will execute forthwith. A special court has also been ordered for the trial of Wright, to be held in September next in this city or Miiledgeville, at which two of the judges of the supreme cout are to preside. Wright is charged with having committed muruer at the destruction of; the Chehaw town. ; ,r ' ' Republican. Mjlkdgeville, July 1. A gentleman who passed through the Creek nation since the general meeting of the Indians at fort Mitchell, on the 7th ult. informs us, that the agent has succeeded' in making amicable arrangements with them, for the destruction of the Chehaw village. We also learn, that, during the council, the Indians agreed to abolish some of their savage customs and constitute others less barborous. It is said the Indians conducted themselves with much propriety during the whole meeting. Reflector.

New Tork, July 18. Diving Bell.A company of adventures are now operating with the diving bell, on the wreck of the British frigrate Hussar, which sunk in Hurlgate during the revolutionary war. Two or three years ago a part of the same company labored with considerable success on the wreck, and raised property which rewarded them pretty well. The Hussar is known to have a quantity of specie on board when she sunk, which it the grand object of the present la. bors. The position of the wreck has hitherto prevented the bell from dropping within the hulk but, by great exertion, large masses of the wreck are sawed ourr and, elated with hope, the persevering adventurers are approaching the golden prize. The bell descends about feet. Columbian

From St. Augustine. Savannvh, July 14 A gentleman, from St. Augustine, who left it on the 4th inst, informs us that there arc not more than 100 troops in the fort ; and that they were on half allowance, provisions being very scarce. Our informant contradicts the report that preparations were making to resist the American troops should they make an attack ; on the contrary, it was openly avowed, that if a demand shonld be made for its surrender by general Jackson, the governor would give it up ! We also learn, that ho vessel with provisions and money for the garrison had arrived at Augustine, as was reported a few days since. A schooner, with provisions, from Havana, bound to Augustine, was captured near the latter port, by a Patriot privateer, in May last, the provisions taken out, and the

Well, at last, newspaper. eoi tors, and their scribbling satellites, have got a fruitful topic of discussion in the transactions of no less a personage than the hero of New-Orleans, general Andrew Jackson. After reaping a full harvest of glory, and receiving the unlimited praise and admiration of his countrymen, he is at length doomed to the denunciations of the pretended friends of a Republican administration, who seem to pride, themselves on their country's honor, but who, in reality " pin it on their sleeve, for daws to peck at." It is said that general Jackson has exceeded his powers, and that during a profound peace, he has dared to seize on a neutral territory, thereby arrogating to himself an authority which alone is vested in congress. Can it be possible that such a sweeping accusation is worthy of a moment's reflection to develope the jaundiced purpose cf such writers ? If the president did not call upon the United States' forces, or authorize the militia to turn out for the purpose of protecting the frontier if general Jackson did not find in the enemy's possession bleeding scalps of mothers and infants, kept as awful trophies of butchery if he did not find that this same enemy was protected within the walls of our neutral neighbor, as friends and allies and that an express stipulation, manifesting their guilt as instigators in the murderous acts that led to the war, formed on'e of the articles of capitulation a.
