Intelligence from the Missouri Expedition, Mr. P. Kerr left Manuel's fort, seven miles below the Council Bluffs, on the 10th inst. and arrived at St. Louis on the 23d. On the 1 1 th he met the Western Engineer, Major Long h party, 12 miles below the mouth of the river Platte, ascending. He confirms the account of a robbery committed on some of the gentlemen attached to this boat by a b2nd of Panis Indians. On the 1 2th he met coL Atkinson 175 miles below the Council Bluffs. The rifle regiment and the 6th infantry were in company, under the command of col. Atkinson, ascending in a number of heel boats, in go k' health and spirits and expected to be at the Council Blulis in 12 days, that is, on the csth int. None of col. J Vinson's steam beats were in compiny. On the 14th inst. Mr. Kerr passed Martin Cantonment (Cow Inland): saw there the s. b. Lxpedition, empty, and preparing to fall back, her carjro having been transferred to keels. Martin Cantonment was abandoned, except by a subiltern and -:o men, who

waited for the arrival of an 'empty keel boat to take the remnant of the lading of the steam boat Expedition. On die 16th passed the s. b. Johnson 25 miles above fort Os"C, Ivin to, out of order. On the 17th, iStli, 19th, met 10 or 12 keel boats above BwOnslick. ascending with previsions for the troops. On the 20th passed the steam boat Jeffeson, empty, and lying upon the rocks, high and dry, lour miles below the mouth of the Great Osage. It is now certain that the troon? have left the steam boat and gone on in keels, and thai thev will arrive (have arrived in all probability) at the Council Bluffs in time to shelter themselves before the commencement of winter, and to accomplish all the views of the government for the present cummer. Si. Lean Enq. Mr. Forsvth, U.S. aqent on the Upper Mississippi arrived in town a few days ago from the Falls of St. Anthony. We understand from him that he left Pririe du Chieu in company with col. Lcvenworth and a detachment of the 5th Infantry early in August, and arrived at the mouth of the St. Peters, just under the Falls, on the 24th of the same month. Col. Lcvenworth established himself on the spot indicated by gen. (then Lieut.) Pike, and immediately commenced the necessary works for the shelter ,and protection of the troop. On the way up the detachment halted at the different Sioux villages, by all of whom they were well treated. Many Indians from the borders ot the river St. Pierre came down to the Falls while Mr. Forsyth remained there, all of whom conducted themselves peaceably, and expressed satisfaction at the arrival of the troops and the establishment of the military post. Ibid. LATE FROM ENGLAND. New 7crhy Oct. 9. By the Picket ship Albion, apt. Wiiiiams, wc have ic-

ceived Liverpool papers to the 4th, and London to the evening of the 2d ult. with Lloyds Lists to the 31st August. The Last Liverpool letters state, generally, that there .was no alteration in the market, except that it was rather more dull than at last advices. A large reform meeting had been held in Liverpool, at which about 8000 men attended, who adopted several spirited resolutions. Mr. Preston, of Liverpool, presided. Meetings continued to be held and proposed in various other places. Hunt, and other prisoners had been admitted to bail, to answer simply for a misdemeanor.

New Orleans, Sept. The U. S. revenuecuttcrLouisiana, Capt J. Loomis, and the Alabama, also z revenue cutter, which were built at New York, arrived at the Bayou St. John yesterday, having in company the Spanish schooner Philomena, which they recaptured from a pirate on the 29th ult. off the Diy Torgugas. The pirate it also brought in. On that day he fell in with an American schr. bound from this port, on board of .which the pirate had placed a number of Spanish gentlemen and la dies who had been passengers in the Philomena. From their information, captain Loomis supposed that the pirate could not be very distant, and determined to look out for her. Eight hours afterwards, accordingly, he espied two sail, one of which stood for him, and, on being required by the captain of the Alabama to send her boat on board, fired a volley of small arms; she was soon silenced, however, and taken possession of. She proved to be a schooner called the Brave, fitted out at New Orleans, carrying two guns and twentyfour men, and commanded bv a man who calls himself Le Fage. Her prize, the Philomena, was about a mile astern duiing the action, but wa soon overhauled and re-captcr-cd. In the slight contest which preceded the capture of the Brave, the Alabama had four of her men wounded; two of them, including the first lieutenant, dangerously: the pirate lost six men killed. The remainder of her crew, to the number of eighteen, were safely lodged in prison last evening. The Brave had on board a number of Spanish prisoners, who arc thus happily relieved from a captivity which most probably, would have terminated, if the had not fallen in with the revenue cutters, by their being compelled - to walk the plank. The pirate had a printed commission, the date of which was blank, signed Humbert, Governor cf Texas Gazette. A letter from New Orleans, of the 11th ult. says " New Orleans can at this time be compared to nothing else than a houe of affliction and mourning. I have heard their were fifty-fcur burials yesterday. They have averaged more than 25 for some days past though it is believed the white population r-maining in the city does not exceed 8000 souls."

Wc have obtained paper sufficient to print a half sheet this week . JNext wees we expect reive a supply of paper to receive from CincinnatiCOMMUNICATED. Messrs. Editors I observed in your last paper, a production, brought forward by one of your cor res ponding critics, who signs him self " Vernonian." The gen tleman. seems to be laboring under creat distress, and trouble of mind, on account of his being situated at so great a distance, from the press; 3s to prevent his showing the "learned world," what a treasure of Mr. Vernonian. as respects his situation and confinement, arnongst the illiterate: for it is truly, a sad misfortune, that a gentleman of such talents should languish in obscurity, when the people of Madison, stand in such need of "so learned a man." I sincerely hope you will endeavor to procure the unfortunate gentleman, a residence, amongst us, or otherwisc, obtain him a commu. nication, by means of telegraphs; so that we may acquire some of his unbounded tund of ideas, on erudition and composition. That he is a great philologist, and abounds in "hyper-criticism," he has already evinced to the public. I have no doubt the flatulent Mr. Vernoman, is a connoisseur , in all lanpruaircs from the sublime and lotty sentences he has introduced into has hWery display of genius. He appears to squib-out his phrases, with great ease and fluency; and no doubt would confound the natives, or make the hair rise on one's head, to hear him mnkf? .1 crrnrrnl !enKw l.Io scientific acquirements.

The following paragraphs . afford us more information respecung me cause or mr. rcnw'ek's return from the Spanish mission, and or'tne nature or the dispatches he has brought, than we have received from any other quarter: New Tcrk, Oct. 8. The brig Joseph arrived at thi - port last evening from Bordeaux, having left there an the 8th bept. r. Columbus Fcnwick, came passenger, and is bearer of dispacaes from the American minister at the court or wannc, wnicn piacc ae icn on the 23d August. The grand council of Castile had assembled and declared not .to bassador in London. 1 he courier passed through Bordeaux, on the 29th of Aug. with ihe official tidings of the non-ratification. Mr, Fenwick it icaier of the dispaches to our government to the same effect. From the Franklin Gazette. We have conversed with Mr. Fenwick, bearer of dispitches from our Envoy at Madrid to his government, He states that he left Madrid on the morning of the 23d of August; that the Florida treaty had not been ratified, and that he heard nothing of a special mission to America for toe purpose of explaining the views of Spain with regard to that treaty. Mr. Fenwick travelled from Madrid to Bordeaux, on horseback, a distance oy 40 miles, in three days and a half thermometer 95. Mr. 'Forsyth was in good health, ard expected to remain at the5 court of Madrid. The statement we copied from a New York paper, thar, nrpviriiic tn tp it.omrruw Mr. Fenwick, " the Grand Courier was nntnediaulv dispatched to the Spanish ambassador in London," is calculated wc understand, to produce an erroneous impression, though certainly not intended. The time for the ratification cf the treaty expired without its ratication. The Grand Council had assembled, not to dcliberate probably on the subject of the treaty, but on other matters. Nothing had transpired respecting its resolves, except that " a Courier was immedi aieiy upaicnea co ine pamsn Ambassador in London." Nat. Intel. Oct. 16. The question about Don Luis de Onis's disgrace, so long in suspense, is settled by the arrival of Mr. Fenwick. M. dc Onis was at Madrid, and was in high favor with the gOTermnent. ib.
