You have tola us by the talk ot your warriors, once father. ts r father, that wc wete to fight on the flank; and in the rear of your warriors ; but we have always gone in front father ; and it is in thi? way we have loft fo many of our young warriors, our Women and children. M Father Liftcn. Your red children want back their old boundary lit.es, that they may have the lands which belong to them ; and this, father, when the war began, you promifed to get for them. "Father Liften. Your red children have fullered a great deal they are fad indeed they are pitiful. They want your filftance, father they want arms for thetr warriors, ind cloths for their women Scchil dren. You do not know the number of your red Children lather there are many who have neser yet received any arms or cloth, ing. It is nccefiary, at prefent, father, to lend more than you formerly did. Father Kitten. At the beginning of the war you promifed us, when the Ameri cans would put the4r hands forward, you would drav. yours b.ck. Now, father, we requeft when the Americans put their hands

Bordeaux, March 6. 8 o'clock in the morning. At the moment of the departure of the vefiel, we have news in addition to what 1 wiote yefterday. We learnt positively yefterday, that the peace between Ferdinand, king ot Spain, and the emperor Napoleon, is terminated and ratified by the cortes. It appears that the Spaniards have engaged to make the Britifh evacuate the kingdom, Ferdinand has been in Spnin 10 or i2 days.

Three columns of Celiacs, compoleoeach of 6000 men, have pafTed thro Pans. Thefe barbarians have feen the elegant city ; but not as conquerors. 1 heir is a very numerous army before Geneva. Ic would appear Napoleon has concealed the txtent of his forces even from France they are now developing, and aie found immenfe. The allies attempted to take Antwerp, where they vcie literally cut to pieces. u Wellington is at mount Marfen, 20 le?rzues from Bordeaux ; but he left Br,y-
