April 26, 18 16 -PPRnvF.D, JAMES MADISON. NEW-YORK, May 29. The foHowinff a summary of i extracts from the latest French and English papers. The trial of :r Robert Wilson and others, was to come on, on the 22d of April. M! Hyde de Neu vi lie, ambassador to America had not left Paris on the 12th April. The duke of Wellington left Paris on the 11th April for Cambrav, but would shortly rea turn. The empress of Austria was severely indisposed at Verona on the 29th March. General Drouet had been tried bv acouneil of war a?id acquitted of the charge of having attacked France and the lawful government with an armed force, 3 to 4. upon which the king's council demanded that he should not be set at liberty. Lex don, April 12. Paris papers of Monday and Tuesday last have arrived in due course. Disaffection seems to prevail very strongly at Lyons Paris, April 7. A decree has acquitted general Drouet ; the duke of Angoulenie hn solicited ihe pardon of genl. Debelle ; the king has commuted the punishment of col. Dover, ;vm that f Travot ; the eruilty have all the latitude immaginab!e to defend themselves ; the judges even testify an interest for the accused. Naples, March 24. A report wa spread yesterday that the English squadron had la ided troops in tlie Abruzzo, and that they were to occupy the places and fortresses of thee two provinces. This news has much embarrassed commerce. Government have not at yet published anv thing about it. but it is observed that the Austrian envoy has frequent conferences with the English envoy. Talleyrand has it is seated, selected and obtained permission from the Austrian government to take up iii- residence in Vienna. Murat & Thibaudeau, two devoted adherents to the family of Napoleon, also reside in the Austrian states ; where the exqueens of Naples and Holland) have in like manner found an asylum. Both houses of parliament adjourned yestered the Lords to toe 26th, and the commons to the 2 ith. MtLLCDGviLLts, May 20. No intelligence has been received by the executive since our lat. respecting the reported hostility of the Florida Indians. Our frontier settlers are prepared to repel a iy attack, though little apprehension is entertained bv tnem of one being made. Our information fn m private sources i to the followina: effect. Six hundred Semim les were embodied ten miles bt luw fort Gaines, who had made to col. Clinch (through the friendly Indians) proposals for establishing peace, but the commander of our troops w a suspicious of treach erj . ami tn his guard. The two soldiers w liu had been canieduU

by the Indians had not been liberated, and their fate was uncertain. The Big Warrior and his son had gone from fort Gains to the Beminoles who were embodied, to dissuade them against hostility. Nearly all the United States troops lately at fort Hawkin ar e on their march to the interior of the Greek nation, and two hundred are proceeding

from Charleston to tne

le

quarter.

7 HE PROPHET. Our readers will recollect that at the late t re ity held with the Indians near Detroit by gtns. Ilarrifon, M' Arthur, and Mr Graham, the Prophetwith lome of his chit fs though prefent until the treaty was nearly ready for finning, withdrew over the ri r r, and notwithftanding they were notified that t'ir treaty was ready for them to lin, did not return. They have not figned it tn this day, and have remained at Maiden ever lince Four days pa fl (fays a correspondent oi the editor of the Albany Argus in a letter dated, Detroit April 27, t8i6) ' the Prophet fent over 3 chiefs with an interpreter to aH; leave ol the govei tvr of this tt r ritory, to make him a vilit acCOfdinh lo5 men came over -The Prophet wanted to hold a council ; the governor met them afte r a I n2; & uninterefting fpeech, they named their ohjecl which was to obtain per mi Mi on to come over to the American fide and forma village ; and they had the andicity to name the River Ratten as the place they seem to be well aware that by not figning the treaty they had waved the (hpulations in their favour contained in the treaty of Ghent. fci Afrer hearing them for 2 days the gov. told the prophet, that he ha known his character for 15 years p u tl ; that although he pretended to receive hrs infbuclions from the Great Spirit, he had that moment ben telling a direct lie in affigning the reafon for nrt coming over antl ftgning the treaty; that he h id no confidence in his words and of courte fhould not grant his rt quell ; but if he chofe to o to his own nation ad send all thofe of his party to their nations and fer down and he peaceable on that & no oth r coiulition would he allow them t come on the American fi !e for he did not confider them ;b a party to the treaty ol peace and ,dk cl the prophet why his Bn tdh father, whom he had fo faithfully strvtd did not give him a pi. ice to build a village on?

of the friendly party have bten below endeavouring to make friends of the hollile party but without effect ; the night before lad a chief of the Seminoles made his appearancc at the council houfe with 200 warriors and difolved their meeting firii;g and threatening to put the friendly chiefs to death if they did not leave them immediately; fome of the friendly chiefs pa fled hereto day on their way home. Four days fn.ee fome of our waggons that were returning to Fort Hawkins were hopped by a fmall party of Indians, only 2 miles from our camp and were a), out to be plundered of their horfes and no doubt lcalped a hen one of them made his cfcape to camp and rave us the information. I immediately volunteered with 30 brave men of 'the 4th regiment and rescued them, and proceeded 40 miles with them thro' fome hotlile towns without fur the r m deflation ; but during my abfence the fame party was guilty of tV mo ft daring outrages I ever heard of : while 2 men belonging to my company, were attending 30 cattle belonging to us, within half a mile of camp, about 2 o'clock at noon they were driven off along with 2 public horfes ; we lent a fmall party in purfuif but without coming up with them ; they took the road on to St. Mark's croffing Flint rirer about 20 miles from its mouth. I have no :doubt but that is a fmall pjrfy of Seminoles or Queen's parrty, I regret the lots of the 2 poor fellows as I have no doubt they are fcalped .before this, it being uunfual for the Indians to keep pridners. To day we heard of 25O of the lower warriors being about 40 miles from here ; so that you may expect to hear of fome fcalping in this quarter very foon : our force is very confiderable not 300 eflyclive men. I have the com rriand of a fine company and 3 good fi 1! pieces two 6 pounders and a 4 and I hope you will hear a good account of us, fhould we be attacked. Extract of a letter dared Barbadocs, April 29. " On the 13th irrst. an insurrection of the negroes took place in St. Phillip's Christ Church, St. Georges, & St, John's Parishes. At the instance it bad an alarming appearance, as the plan since deVeloped was nothing less than a:i extermination of the whiles, it has thank God, been nearly quelled at least the danger is considered as over. Upwards of 5iX) blacks have been shot and executed. Since the 13th I have been on actual service in St. Phillip's and Constant Bay. Such a scene of desolation no one ever expected in this Island. Most of our friends in those Parishes hue lost every thing and merely escaped, with their lives. We had a smart action with the Insurgents at the Six Cross Roads ; a body of 700 well armed made a stand & stood lur tire for rear an hour ; wc have lost only about 7 killed The principal chiefs are taken."
