Monday, the 4th inst. is the day appointed Tor the meeting of the first General Assembly of the State of Indiana. A great va riety of new officers for the state government, well a our senators to the congress of the United States having to be appointed by them, ill render it an important session.

The Rev. Mr. Treat, a missionary from Connecticut, will preach at the Court House tomorrow at 12 o'clock. t n M . lt . . Spencer Creek Salt Works. We have it from good author ity that the Messrs. Ellis's have succeeded in sinking a well which promises to be of much value to them and the country generally producing salt water of more strength and greater abundance than any heretofore known .' in the western country. It anpears that they perforated the earth 150 feet, when they met with a stream of water which immediately rose to the top of the well and run over. It takes about 47 gallons of the water to produce a bushel of salt. Ken. Gaz, Ohio. --Thomas Worthington is re-elected governor of Ohio--his majority over Mr. Dunlap, is estimated at 10.000 votes. Gen. William II. Harrison is elected a representative to congress to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. McLean, and also a member of the 15th congress. Maj. John Scott is elected the Delegate to represent the Missouri Terrritory in the 15th Congress --[We have understood his election will he contested by his opponent Mr. Eastin. Ed. Sun] Nathaniel Pope is elected the Delegate to the 15th Congress from the territory of Illinois. Boundary Line-- A paragraph has been going the rounds of the papers, stating, that the settlement of our northern boundary line, will give the U. States sixteen townships of Lower Canada, and their fort and island, the Isle aux Noix, We have respectable authority for stating, that this report is entirely incorrect. Gentlemen who are every way qualified, inform that they have repeatedly taken observations on the spot, for their own satisfaction. and have found that the line, it always has been received, is the true 15tb degree or parallel of latitude. One of the commissioners for settling this line, passed

through town yesterday and con-

rmed the abo e statement which

lduces us to give it publicity.

General Jackson returned home from the Indian nation on Friday last. We believe the conditions of the treaty with t nations, to wit : The Chickasaws' and Cherokees, amounts to this :

The former are to be paid annu-

ally the sum of' twelve thousand dollars, for ten years. The latter the sum of eight thousand dollars for the same period. By the treaty with the Cherokees, the United States regain all the lands which were included in the boundary specified by the late treaty made at Washington.-- Whig. CANADA TAKING BRITAIN. M ARRIED, At Wilmington; (N. Carolina) Mr. Solomon Canada, to Miss. Susan Britain We never supposed that Britain would be taken by Canada but it is a voluntary surrender, and we shall be very much deceived, if, after the capitulation and matters are adjusted, Canada does not keep possession. Extract of a letter from "Buenos Ayres, dated Aug. 27, 1816. "At this moment our artillery is ordered out, and I am about starting to witness the expected battle."

to act upon the same system at the conferences which are to take place at Frankfort. Several persons believe also that it is scarcely probable that the kingdom of Hanover will submit to the protectorate of Prussia."

From the Richmond Enquirer Oct. 10. Highly Interesting. It is whispered, that information has been received from an officer of high rank in the U. 8. army, in the south, ( neighborhood of New-Orleans.) that lie expected to be attacked by the Spaniards. It is added, that a consultation has been held at Washington, in consequence ; & it is surmised that a strong naval force is to be sent to cruize in that direction, say the Gulph or vicinity of Florida, to ascertain the movements, and if necessary, to prevent the landing of a hostile force.

PARTS, August IS. Some of the German Journals contain the following article : " At the moment which the Diet of Frankfort is about to occupy itself with arrangements relative to the Germanic body, there is a current report that two great protectorates will be created, and that they will be conferred on Prussia, and Austria. Prussia to have that of the North and Austria that of the South. Several Princess of the 3d and 4th orders desire the re-establishment of the imperial dignity of the person of the Emperor of Austria. It is thof that the courts of the South of Germany such a Bavaria, Wirtemburg, and the grand )uchy of Baden, whose states are of considerable extent, neither desiring an imperial dignity nor protectorates, wish to preserve a full and entire independence. It is ail even that those courts have recently formed tlu most intimate relations, and that they intend to rive the Kime vote and
