St. Levis, Oct. 12. Contrary to oar anticipations, a treatycf peace, araityj Slid friendship, was concluded in this citjcn the 7th inst. between the Delaware Uation, and their confederates, th i Shaw nees, Kickapoos, Piankashws, Wens. Peoria?, and Seneca?, residing in th's State and Territory of Arkansas, and the several bands of the Great and Little Osage Nation. Considerable difficulty wa? manifested on the part of the Delaware, who tverf not anxious to come to an adjustment of their differences, nrJ rome of the Chief even declared, that they never would make peace with the Osage. Thp tomahawk is however for the present, bulled; although nil parties Appear sat UhVJ, and say, k4thcy nil! t:tcp the peact," it is probable that, v.e long, it will again be raised. Situated as the Del war- &c.;:ow are, in a country without much game, they will continue to encroach upon the titinting grounds of their neighbors, and thus produce new hostilities- It is a singular fact, that nearly every Nation of Indians between this and tho lucky Mountains, are aliru st constant I r .r war, the Northern with the Southern Na.lins. The cause is obvtous: it commence? with our white hunters, en the frontier, who encroach up on the Indians nearest to them, by killing their game; they, frci a principle of se lfpreservation, upon the m xt, and thus it extends to the whole. Those more immediately in the vicinitv cfthe whit?s, being more skilled, and better provided for war, although frequently inferior in numbers, succeed in driving their neighbors to the North Wc arc informed by Gen. Clark, superintendent of Indian affairs, that many of the tri'oe of Indians who have nemllcd he -c for the adjustment of their diffn ultie?, lrve expressed a wish to t xckange their lands, nithin this state for land leond its limit". Their object appeals tube, to collect the scattered remnants of their ot:te powerful Nations into ece family, far from the resident oflne white man, and turn their attention to agriculture and the raisii g of stock. That they will be compelled to report to this coarse before long, is evident, from the scarcity of game; and it is hoped that the Government will encourage them in it. At no former period, has our prospects of a Urge it. crease of population, been more ll ttt rii g than the present autumn.

No peimi sion being received, it was concluded between the the con misiioreis, that Mr. Sibley, and Mr. Brown, the Surveyor, with ten "men, should ps over to the Spanish settlements, and winter; and that Cols.

It appears, Mi Pointsett, our Minister, found more dffi ulty th.tr. was expected in obtaining the assent of the Mexican Goverrsmcr.t to the location of the road, and it was net c til late in the summer of this year, that en order was obtained to that effec t. Under this order, Mr Sibley has surveyed the western part nf the ro:id, and connected it with thai run last summer. Fiom the known intelligence of the gentlemen engaged in this expedition, we m tv expect considerable additious to our knowledge of this remote country, both as to its geography and to the prospect of carrying on an extensive and lucrative commerce with its inhabitants.

The ends of t he 5 smaller ones work on springs, in such a manner as to receive either a large or small hand-full cf flax. There is a sweep attached to the t :: of the large cylinder, to the end of which sweep a horse is to hitched. There are fastened to one end of the machine a set of swingling knives, a part of them working vertically and a part horizontally, and receive their motion from a strap connected with the large cylinder. The informant further states that he saw the machine in full operation, and from what he perceived of the motion, jt was speedy way of breaking and swingling flax, and that he had no Joubt but the machine, by a man and a boy, would break and swingle from G to 0 hundred pounds of flax in a day!!

ut i8 generally believed here that a war mnst be the result of the present state of j

things in Europe, and that the late revolution in Portugal will be the ostensible reason for it. England "has declared that she will protect the new constitutional government of that country, and the comstitulional government of France has insisted, and has been promised that no steps shall he taken to import it into Spain where it would have a chance of destroy ing the blessings of the holy inquisition. 0i the other side, the Emperor of Russia goes on with a slow, but steady march, towardsihe old favorite plan of getting possession of a warmer climate. Austria, hardly knowing what to do, is induced to wish strength and prosperity to her old inveterate and natural enemy, the Turk; and not daring to assist him more openly, she sends a miserable frigate into the Mediterranean, to vex and tease the Greeks, who have already threatened to set tire to her."

London. Sept. 2C From accounts received this morning, it would appear that war was inevitable between Russia and Turkey. The conferences at Akcrman have taken an unfavorable turn. The Russian Commissioners, almost wearied with the answers of the Turkish Commissioners, have sent them a note, in which all the demands made by Russia for some vears past, are completely embodied, and if a satisfactory answer t the demands be not received by the 7tii October, it is believed a Russ'iMn Army will past the Pruth, and cccupy in arms Moldavia and Wallachia.

Extract of a letter, dated ChocUizc signify, .Vur. 3, 1 2G. ''The Chi( kas.iws have refused titterU to sell their land, or any part thereof. The refused to suffer any of their people to explore lands beyond the Mississippi, at the expense of our government. The Commissioners used every exertion, and are deserving of much credit. The Chicka nvs inhabit the finest country I ever saw, and could their title be extinguished, our state would at once emerge from its present limited condition. I fear the Choctaw ? arc determined upon a course similar to that pursued by the Chickasaw s. The former sent deputies to latter, doubtless to ayrec upon the course pursued.

Circumstances and facts very discreditable tommy persons of heretofore respectable standing in New York, have reccntl been developed, in relation to building in that place two frigates for the Greek Committee in London, fr the use of the Greeks. Respectable merchants in New York undertook the buiid 1 1 g of these vessels. Great misrepresentations seem to have been nvide as to the probable cost. After in enormous expenditure, one of the ships .v 15 sol i, f r something like half its cost, to pa a balaucc of the debts claimed for the building. The subject was referred to arbitrates, wh mad the mostextraord'.n iry allow ances by wa of charge againt the Greeks: among other charges, 1500 dollars to each of themselves for act ing as arbitrators. Publications have been m de pro and con, the linal result of which seems to be, that tho merchants, arbitrators and some others, have acted in a shameful manner. While the country at large were taking a deep interest in the Greek cause, these men, engaged in their employ and expending their money, were acting tin. part of plunderers, committing a kind of robbery in the enormity of their expenditure, and a sort of moral treason in the vexatious delay that attended their conduct. A case has seldom occuried in which men of character more richly deserved the public execration of their own countrymen, as well as that of their employ ers. Cincinnati Gazette,

Rideau canal. The operations on this canal have been commenced with great spirit. The Governor of Canada, in his recent tour through the country, in company with the engineers, has determined on the construct! n of several large works along the route. The great bridge over the Ottawa, in the opinion of the engineer, who writes like a very intelligent man, will surpass, if it is completed, almost any other bridge in the world, as a wonderful superstructure and "a more imposing situation for such a piece of architecture could nowhere be found.11 The river there falls over a hard ledge of shelving strata of laminated limestone, in some places to a depth of 100 feet, into great cauldrons below, where the foam disappears in many places, until it passes through subterranean channels, and hoiU up white a mile down the stream. The bridge, which will connect the Uppei and Lower Provinces, is to stretch across the river just over these falls, on eight arches whose natural abutments will be the rocky islands. in the channel. O.ic of these arches, of CO feet span, is already neatly finished; and there are to be 4 others of the same si.L, two of 70 feet span, and one of two hundred, which It to extend over the
