D:tr;ii Mich.) July 1 6. Rum.rs. Reports of Indian hoiitlities, and a manifestation of hostile intention by Indians, have been set ail )at within 3 or 4 weeks p tst, and with rew;i et we observe that some of them have found a place in ii 1 v.---papers in diffjrent parts of die U. States. One rumor told us that the Indian-; red ding on F )S river and its vi-d-mv had attacked and desroyed a part of the 5th Heg-L-nent of I srintrv on its wav tr 1 Green Bv to Prairie du C'L'.e and St. Peter's and thre ire others cf a similar hin !, and cuudiv vdth'Uit loundation. I2r. "Rathbone, lare army contractor, has just returned tarn Green Biy, by land, and p isved through the villages of the greater part of the Indians in that remote quarter; he represents the most savage nations, (the AYinebtgoes S ieks, and Menominies,) as totally unprepared tor hostility, even it they had a disposition for it, being nearly destitute of powder and lead. Mr. R. ascended the Fox river a few miles with the 5th regiment, and informs us that Col. Leavenworth called a council with the Winebjgoes and Menommics, and told them his object in passing through their country, to which they made not the least objection, but professed their friendship for the Americans in the strongest language, and offered every means in their power to aid the troops in ascending the river the Col. accepted the services of about a doi.zwy as pilots and guides. Mr. R. represents the J?ottawattamies, Cmppewas, cutaways, and Kickapoos, apart of whose country he passed through, as very friendly disposed towards the United States. Gazette. boston, July 17.

There has

not been here, for some time, any want, either of money, or of confidence. The town of Salem is still more highly favored than ouis. It experiences undoubtedly some heavy losses: but the losses fall on people who can afford to lose. They feel, in that place, neither the want of monevy nor the want of confidence. There seems to' have been, this week, a little more life, in business, in Boston.

BALTIMORE, AUC. 2. The writer of the following .communication haslcft his name at the Federal Gazette Ollice, to be made known to any respectable enquirer who may feel interested in the subject, and wish to obtain -farther or more . particular information. COM MUNICATION. A Silver Mine -Ihe following information respecting a silver mine some where in the neighborhood of Biltimorc, was verbally communicated by a person who, it is believed, knew the facts. From his representations to the writer, it is supposed to lie to the eastward of this city, not farther distant than 20 miles, but probably within 10 or 12 miles. It is stated, that ore had been found 5 or 6 years ago, at the side of a hill, in an opening from which a small spring of water issued, which has since been nearly closed up by an old stump or piece of wood, to prevent any person discovering the ore. That, in August 1S17, at the time of the great rain and wind, an old tree blew down on the hill above the spring, nt the roots ot which there were found some pieces of nearly pure virgin silver ; and there were evident symptoms that the hill contaired a great quantity of ore. I he rocks or stones on the hill are flinty, mixed with some chrystalizations. The hill is partially covered with whortlebury bushes and other small shrubbery, and a few old very crooked chesnut cr chesnut oaks. The old tree which blew down is still lying on the hill. The gentleman upon whose estate the ore was found, is a very eld man, whose hair is white, of considerable wealth; he is unacquainted with the fact that any ore has been found on his land he his (or had not long since) 5 children; one of his tons has been married and has lost his wife. The hill is supposed to lie near the road, in an open, poor, rocky part of the country, near a run which would answer for a small mill seat during a part cf the year. Some of tiie ore has been sent to the mint at Philadelphia, and it is said, would yield seventy live per qtnt; If such amine exists, the discovery of it at this time would be a benefit to the nation s well as to the individual ovmer, vho may probably ascertain its situation from ,the above description. X. Mere Piracy: We learn from a passenger in the brig Arethusi, from Kew-Orleans, that a small piratical row-boat, full of men, came into the Ualize and boarded 2 vessels lying there, and took from one of them upwards of 500 dollars in specie, and robbed the other of all her small stores. She then by allied the chip Cyvcrr.cr

Boston, July 22. Yankee Tars at their old tricks. We learn that a letter is received in town from Mocha, via Alexandria and Leghorn, Iated 22d January, stating that the ships Fawn and O'Cain, of Boston, Emily, of Baltimore, and brig Syren, of Newbury, were then in that port, and that about the 1st of December, a piratical vessel, from the Gulf of Persia, appeared otF the place; that the Governor called tin the masters of the above vessels for assistance,- in case the pirates should come in and commit any depredations, stating that the fort was not strong enough to defend the place against her, should any acts of hostility be committed; that the pirate did come in, and took two vessels belonging to the place, one valued at 100,000 dollars, and was towing them out, when the American vessels opened a fire upon them, . each having a few guns) and in about 15 minutes one of the prizes was sunk, and the other retaken, and the pirate captured, in a sinking condition; that the piratical vessel mounted 22 guns, and had 150 men, all of whom were shackled with irons, marched into town, and delivered by the Americans to the Governor. Before the action, the Amcricans were treated with contempt, and frequently had dire thrown upon them as they passed the streets; but they have since been treated with great civilitv and respect. XL II. P. From the Village Record. Tortoises . The inquiry made by us 2 or 3 weeks ago, has led to the knowledge of a number of interesting facts respecting this little animal. We published one from a lady in Delaware county week before last, stating that one was found in Newtown township, marked 1744 There has been one recently picked up on the plantation of Capt. JelFeris, marked the day of the lirandyvvine Battle, 42 years ago. John W. Townsend, esq. the Postmaster of this place, was so obliging as to bring one in, on Thursday last, which he had found on the Plantation, which -belonged to his ancestors. It was marked I. T. supposed to stand for John Townsend, his grandfather, who Tias been long deceased. This tortoise had every mark of advanced age, and had 2 dates cut upon him, one 1769, the other 1791. He has often been found near the same spot, and vhas been safely returned to his old haunts, where zc years hence he may probably be found, and this notice of him be referred to in the 2 2d volume cf the Record, Exemplary caution. The officers who regulate the Land otlice at JefTersonville, Indiana, alarmed at the reports which have reached that country in relationto the banksofBaltimore, have given public notice that they will not receive the note3 of certain banks in that city ; and iu naming said Hanks, they

have embraced in the catalogue, not only the five which now actually exist, but also three others which never existed at all. Now, if those public officers are as provident on all occasions as on the present, they surely cannot, with any kind of fairness, be accused by the government as being criminally incautious.-- iV.7.

The citizens of Madison and . its vicinity, are requested to meet at the house of Koht. Brunham on Thursday next at 2 o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety and expediency of establishing an institution of learning in ;ke town cf Madison. From the Xatiinal Intelligencer, Au jr. 3. We understand that capt.

Bv the arrival yesterday aftcrnocn . of the United States ship Hornet, captain Reed, from Cadiz, which place she left on the i?d July, we are informed as follows: A Spanish squadron of 6 ships of 74 51ms, 8 of from 38 to 44 guns, unci several sloops of war, Uc. . vere lying in the harbor of Cadiz. It was currently reported t-re that 1 8,O0C) troops would also embark, and the whole would be destined for the Protection g the Fbridas, .nd not for South America, as was originally contemplated. A French squadron of 1 frigate and 6 brigs has joined the expedition; we learn they v ill sail under the Spanish lia8 Anactian was'iought off Cadiz, about the Uth June, between the Spanish national gun brig Voluntary, of 14 guns, and the Jiuenos Avres government brig Independent, of 18 guns when, shameful to relate, the latter was defeated.

The Spanish Treaty.- Our readers will have seen by the rime they have read this, that by the latest and most authentic accounts, the Treaty with Spain had not been ratified on Che 22d of June. AVeare not among those .who attach great importance to this negative information. Still

less do we believe, that Spain intends or desires to provoke 1 rupture with this country There is no motive which couli induce her to do so. That she has seen. with mortification pri. vateers .swarming from our ports, . and preying on her de. tenceless coin mere e, there an be little dcubr; but she his also seen that the government cf the United States, sensible cf the enormity of such unlicen. sed robbery, has u; d its exer. tions cc put a stop to it, and is therefore euiltlrss of having en courazed such practices. She has seen, too, that the people of this country, had the gov. eminent displayed the same inclination, have been well enough disposed to have wres. ted tlivi Floridas from Spain, bp z. weapon very different from negociation, and to have taken ample indemnity in Mexico, as well as Florida, for Spanish spoliations on our commerce. But ihe alternative of War with Spain has been cautiously and sedulously avoided; and aTrea. ty has been framed, in conformity to her Minister's insruc. tions, quite as favorable to Gpain as shs could have expected. That-treaty, under such circumstances, it is scircey possible she will not .ratify. If, after this view of the sub. ject, people will anticipate an ultimate refusal to ratify the Treaty, let the fact of the promotion of Don Luis de Onis speak for itself. It is not to be supposed that the king cf Spain would elevate, to the highest ollice and honors in his gift, a man who had just returned from a Foreign Mission, which had resulted in a Treaty so odious, that the Sovereign intended to reject it. That a few courtiers about the person of the King, interested in large grants of land ifl Florida,, of a date too late W be recognized by the re1 will exert themselves to detea its ratification, is quite proba' hie. We trust they will utterly fail: we hope it, as ve prccatc War, which, we lieve would sooner or liter, the inevitable consequence ot breach cf faith in this instant on the part of Spain. l The time limited by Treaty, within which, onf?' ification, it shall perempt bind both parties, is currcnj ) reported to be six inont which term will expire 3. the 24th of this month. l ratilicd before that day government of the V.
