j . Jnd,anapolis, Jan. 25. A deputation of Indian Chiefs, principalIv of the Cherokee nation, passed this dav through Indianapolis, on their way to the city of Washington. The grand object they have in view, is the investigation of documents, co-existent with the first settlement of Vincennes, Detroit and NewOrleans, relative to treaties with the French and others, which have heretofore reposed in obscurity. The recovery of these antique remains will fill a chasm in history which has long remained open to conjecture, and in all probability have Civen birth to many unhappy consequen

ces.

The action was founded or) a libel, filed by the District Attorney, for the violation of the law of 1802 and 1822, regulating trade and intercourse with the Indians and to prevent the distribution of spirituous liquors among the Indian tribes which goods, were seized on the Tippecanoe river, in September last by order of General Tipton, Indian Agent at Fort Wave.

Statesman,

In commenting on the articles in which it i averred that the Greek fleet has taken t position at the mouth of the Dardanelles, tiie Briti-h Traveller says: "If this statement s nould prove correct to the extent stated, Constantinople will very shortlx be reduced to a state of famine! The Grand Seig.-.or will be thus place d in a dilemma, from which it is impossible to conjecture m what manner he will extricate himself. Want of provisions will naturally excite tun. ult,and that can only be appeased by deriving supplies from some other source, which, a we believe, is not pracliiatde. There will remain then, no relief hut (mm legntiation with the Greeks. Will the Grand Seignor he suffered to survive this indelible disgrace and humiliation?'

From thr National li.t. Ihn nrf r, Jan. 13. The bill "to abolish imprisonment for debt" wasvestertav rckiied in the Senate

votes. Five members ol the senate were ahsentontluvote,hutit is not supposed that their presence would have varied the result. Oi) the abstract question of the expediency of relieving the body of the honest debtor from imprisonment, we believe there is no difference of opinion in the Senale.

Diabolical Act. 0;ie of the most wicked ; attempts to th'strova family, occurred io this city on Sunday morning. The facts, as tar as we have been able to obtain them, are tln-se: One of the children of a Mr. Carlo, a musician residing in Laurens street, in going out in the morning, found a basket of cakes in front of the door, which she carried into the house. The family, consisting of Mr. Carle, his wife, and five children, ail partook of them and were sh ril after taken violently ill. Medical aid was irnmediatlv procured, and, we.

are happy to say, that all are now out of

danger. Many reports are in circulation, as to the cause of this most diabolical act. It is said, that Mr. C. wasengaged in a lawsuit w ith an individual, which was to commence this dav, and in which some of Mr. C's. family were important witnesses and that he was immediately taken up and examined, but nothing sufficiently .satisfactory was proved to detain him. Exertions are making to discover the author,and we sincerely trust they will not prove abortive. JY. Y, Gazette,

Boston, Jan. 4. Wf.iohts. We learn that an agreement is circulating among the merchants for signers, to substitute, after ihe first of February next, the decimal 100 pounds for the hundred and quarters of English weight. We are gratified that our merchants have taken this step: It is a great improvement in the old mode, and will facilitate calc ulations in mercantile transactions. We wish that the different sections of our country would abolish the use of local currency and substitute the federal.
