to which a change of Ministry would take place; the whole of the present administration were to be dismissed except the Marquis of Wellesly, who, it was asserted would form one of the new body. The administration was expected to be what is called the Whig party. We sincerely hope that these reports may be realised: for it is certain, Percival, Liverpool Bathurst and others who now compose

that body are nothing more or less

than the dregs of that party, who during

our revolutionary war were known by the names of kings private advisers Dem. Press.

COMMUNICATION. Mr. Editor, I enclose you the address signed by H. Vandeburgh, as Chairman, addressed to Col. John P. Boyd, which I have ripped out of a Newspaper that accidentally fell into my hands, with a request that you will stitch it to the columns of the Sun, as an evidence, plain as my lap board, that we who were setting peaceably at our homes, feasting on roast goose, are better acquainted With the merits of the different officers,

and to whom the late victory is due, than those on the battle ground. It would

be wasting time to say more. and I can only regret that an unanimous disposition prevails among them to cabbage from the Colonel the honor of his bodkin, and despoil

To Henry Vanderburgh Esq. and the gentlemen of the meeting of Vincennes and its vicinity. Regimental main quarters, Vincennes Nov. 25, 1811 GENTLEMEN, We are honored by your notice of this day, which conveys to us, the officers and privates of the Fourth Regiment, your high approbation of our conduct in the action of the 7th inft, with dignified pride we acknowledge the meed of merit : it is the soldiers boon and if we have deserved it of our country, we are gratified by your public appreciation of our exertions, which are ever ready to meet the commands of our country. With consideration and respect, in the name of the Regiment, I have the honor to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant JOHN P. BOYD Col. 4th Regt. U. S. Infantry

A number of inhabitants of Vincennes and its vicinity desirous of paying a just tribute of applause to Col. John P. Boyd, and to the officers and privates under his command for their noble conduct in the action with the Indians at Tippicanoe on the 7th ult met at Vincennes on the 25th. Judge Vanderburgh was placed in the

Front the National Intelligencer Mr. Gales, We could not but lament, upon observing in your paper of Saturday, that the official account of the attack upon gov. Harrison confirmed the intelli-

gence which had been for some days fluc-

uating through our city. Painful indeed

that so many valuable men should have

fallen a sacrifice to savage perfidy. But whilst we induldge our feelings of pity over the manes of those departed patriots who fell so gloriously, so exemplary in the service of their country, or pine with regret at the error which an old soldier might

have been very apt under attending cir-

and put on the records of the court in the following words: "Private and strictly confidential." "Should a change of circumstances which are talked of, but not expected by me, produce a change of policy in the councils of Spain and the opening of the port be contemplated, I beg you to interest yourself in my name (confidentially) to prevent the measure until I arrive near you. You can speak freely to the marquis de Cassa Calvo, or the Intendant for me. I have strong motives for this request." This is a good specimen of the general's fidelity and patriotism. It now appears probable that the court will set some time longer. Mr. Jones, the judge advocate being much disgusted by the manner in which the proceedings have been conducted left Fredericktown, and returned here a few days since, resolved to act no longer -- but 'tis said the government have ordered him back, being determined to bring the business to a close. DUBLIN, October 25. The London prints ot Sunday and Monday have arrived. There contents are so far interesting as they detail further particulars of the march of Napoleon along his

coast. He has entered into Amsterdam in great state, and the public functionaries that we could name, poured further torrents of adulation at his imperial feet. Of this disgusting mummery we have given a sufficient specimen by the extract which we have made from the French papers.

caution could have prevented an unexpected

NOTICE, I INTEND to apply to the next March term of the Court of Common Pleas, for the county of Knox and Indiana Territory for leave to establish a Ferry on the Wabash about five miles above Vincennes from my land on the North fade of the said river to the opposite shore. J.. F. Snapp. January 3rd. 1811. Take Notice. A BAY Mare, 14 1-2 hands high, no brands perceivable. Saddle spots on each side of her back, a star or rather a long white mark in her forehead rather over the near eye--some white hairs, mixed on her flanks, shod before, supposed to be worth thirty dollars, and supposed to be six years old next spring. The above mare, was astray at Shakertown, and was given to a wounded man to ride, on the return of the expedition from the Prophet's town, and it was believed, that the above Mare belonged to some person in the army, and it was thought the best method to get his Mare, to have her sent on by the wounded man but no owner being found it is thought to be proper for to state the above circumstances, that the owner may know where to find his Mare. The gentleman who gave the Mare to the wounded man, is named William Hill, and lives near Mr. Gills at Shakertown if the owner lives near that he can be informed by Mr. Hill of the particulars of the Mare. She is now delivered to me for the purpose of making the circumstances known. I will take care of the Mare until the owner can get her.
