1n consequence of high waters we have had no mail this week, which, we hope, will satisfactorily account for the bareness of this day's paper. The members of the Agricultural Society are requested to meet at the house of Peter Jones, Esq. in Vincennes, on Wednesday the 18th inst. at 12 o'clock.--it is hoped it will be generally and punctually attended. Appointments by the Governor. William Prince, Auditor for the Territory, vice Peter Jones, resigned. Newton Edward Westfall, Coronor for Knox County, vice Jacob Kuykendoll, refigned. The general of division, Carra St. Cry, commandant of the city, is appointed to the command of the first division of the 11th corps of the army, stationed in the Illyrian provinces. He will leave this city tomorrow to go to his new station. Letters from Stockholm state, that the late unfortunate royal family of Sweden are to pass the winter at Gripsholm. Peace is expected to take place soon between Sweden and Denmark, and these nations in concert with Russia will shut the British out of the Baltic. -Govion St. Cry is in Spain. AUGSBURGH, November 23. Our magistrates have received orders to provide lodgings for a great number of .troops, who arc to pass through this city in three days.
