The friends of internal improv

ed will be much gratified with

e Improving prospects bf the ffersonville Ohio Canal. The eeting at the Hotel on Tuesday, is given a new impetus to the lblic sentiment of this "town, he old subscription of 80,000 jllars, with which many ;werc ) various accounts dissatisfied, is been rescinded, and since last Wednesday morning the sum of iout 70,000 dollars has been ain subscribed by the citizens of incinnati. Several gentlemen ho subscribed largely before, id who uniformly evinced a tewing zeal in this great and imjrtant work, are now absent. (ne of them, who subscribed 100 lares before, we have no doubt ill put down the same number pin; and we have no reason to 'ppose the public spirit of the 'hers has in anywise abated. It confidently expected that 1 or

c thousand dollars will be yet ad-

H to the subscription.

Keys, Jesse Embree, and Joseph Cowdin be that committee. lResolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the papers of the town. WM. BARR, Ch'n. M. T. Williams, Sec'y. We have received the following with much regret. We are heartily sick of these brawls dignified by the name of ' hostilities,' and

which call rather for the interposition of the peace officers of the country than of its military force. . It is high time that the whites and the Indians should cease from butchering each other. The Indians have no way to tell their tale, and we know not how to tell it for them. Thus much, however, we will say : it is highly improbable that a poor remnant of wretched fugitives, an hundred in number, and that number probably magnified, seeking their way to a distant wilderness, should solicit danger and death by the wanton murder of stragglers of those whom they are fleeing to escape. If you would beat a dog, an old proverb says, you will not long want a stick : if Indians are to be hunted, any pretext will suffice. vVe hope the government will lend its authority to fortify the arm of justice, to quell those feuds. The reported barbarity of these Indians, though untaught and dementated, we certainly do not mean to justify : but still less will we justify barbarities which have not the palliation of dark ignorance and darker superstition. Nat. Intel, From the Huntsville (Alabama) Republican of September 2$. INDIAN HOSTILITIES. By the following, extract, from a gentleman at the Falls of Tuscaloosa, to his son in this place, it appears that a large body of Seminoles, who, it is supposed, are emigrating to the country west of the Mississippi, had committed some outrages on their march.. It certainly would have been good policy for them to have passed through the territory as peaceably as possible, and we are ignorant of the provocation given them, if any; but, from the uniform unfriendly usage they have received from the whites in the lower country, we may well suppose they were not treated with much kindness. Their retaliation, however, must have been highly impolitic, if they had received any injury; for it is probable that the white, settlers in the vicinity of the Tuscaloosa'will pursue them, arid perhaps cut them off before they effect a passage of the Mississippi. The letter is dated 7th instant; and we understand, from other

sources, that the whole country is extremely alarmed. " There has a large party bf Indians, about 100 to 146 of the Seminoles penetrated through the country, and have secreted themselves in a large cypress swamp, about 10 miles below this place, and west of the river.' They

Killed (afiout 2cr miles below) one negro woman, ' and three white children The whites went in pursuit yesterday found them, and had a little battle; both parties run; two white men ; were killed And one wounded how many1 In nans' were killed is not known, some say one, others 7 or 8; and others 10 or 12. "There was another party of 40 Indians near the road, about 20 miles above this place; and report says a large party has gone up the Cahaba Valley, all making their way to white river and the lakes. There have gone out against the Indians about 150 whites to day, and am in great hopes every one will be killed before

they get oyer the. river

The trial and execution of Arhuthnct and Ambristie in Florida, continue to engross public attention in Europe and America. We learn, that the whole proceedings on the subject have been transmitted to the Secretary of war, and copies of it sent to the other members of the cabinet, and that there does not appear a doubt, in the minds of - those who have read them, of the correctness of the sentence of the court martial. It is riot probable that they will be publicly promulgated until the 1 6th of November next. It is s aid' that Ambristie acknowledged to the court, that he had been in arms with the Indians; but justified his conduct on the ground of having married an Indian woman, and having children by her, whom it was his duty to defend : that he acknowledged the . fairness of his trial, and thanked the court for "their kindness to him, and died like a soldier. It is also said, that Arbuthnots letters confirm his connexion with the hostile Indians. Boston.Centinel,Oct. 12.

state. The senior agent of tha United States retired shortly after, accompanied by the admiral of the republic, and receiving from the supreme chief the same attention as at his entrance. Shortly after the civil and military authorities were dismissed, and the supreme chief passed into his cabinet with the secretary of .state. On the night of the same day the Supreme chief gave a grand banquet in compliment to Mr. Irvine, at which the authorities the generals and the chiefs of the army, and some distinguished citizens assisted, and which was distinguished for the mirth, frankness, and the fraternal republican ism that prevailed. All the sentiments expressed ia the toasts, were philanthropic and liberal, and no person can confine to his head the ardent wishes it formed for the eternal friendship and union of North and JSoutk .America. The enthusiasm is incredible which was inspired by the supreme chief, " To the health of the pre.sident of the United States, James, Monroe, once a soldier and aK ways the friend of liberty." And by that in return which was given by the seniqr agent of the United States " To the sucr cess and perpetuity of Venezuela which he compared to a new light that dissipated darkness and confounded, tyranny- In fine, the satisfaction that' reigned at this feast, can be compared to that alone which is felt by two brothers who unexpectedly recognize and embrace each other."

Translated from the Cornoe D'Oromcoof July 25. Agostura, Saturday, 25th July, 1 8 18. On Sunday, the 1 2th of the present month, at two o'clock, the time fixed for the supreme chiefs receiving the civil authorities, the generals and principal officers of the army and navy; the admiral of the republic, Luis Brion, had the honor to present his excellency, Mr. JJ. Irvine, agent of the United States bf North America, whom he had conducted in his vessel from La Margaritte. The supreme chief advanced some steps to receive him, and having seated him on his right, expressed the great satisfaction which the government and people of Venezuela received at seeing in their capital an agent of the government and people for whom they had always entertained sentiments of preference the most cordial, whatever might be the object of his mission. The senior agent of the United States answered in terms most expressive and satisfactory. After some conversation with the Supreme chief on subjects connected with the circumstances of . the day, he presented his credentials, which the supreme chief, after raising them to his breast as a sign of the highest esteem and respect, passed to- &e secretary of
