satisfactorily the sourcewhcr.ee this intelligence is derived Tnc po.i y pursued by Apodaca, since his elevation to toe Viceroyalty, has been so opposite to the general poiicy of the Mot I ei kr. gdom, in relation to ucr Colonics, that we) may readily suppose in him ar. ambition superior to subserviency to Spain, and a patriotism above the mere tranquilizii g or subduing of a revolutionary spint, to sink it again into the gioom of despotism without security for t:e past, or i.opc tor the future. If this news be true, tb.ef.te cf New Spain is decided, and O ti Spain wi.i not shortly again, I coercive, ttolu a low of insolence, and ambiguity towards u, such as she has late.y manifested A t w days will, I suppose, decide upon the truth or falsehood of this uiteiiigencc. Extract of a letter Jr am the Indian ag lit a' '' Natehitoche to the command" fng officer on that frontier y dated 5xDiN Agency,) Natchitoches, 25th March, lSi7 , Sir he enclosed exhibits the names the number of warriors, and the gco-r.-,TVMrn: noshion of the several In
dian tribes connected with this agency, taken f. om the best source of information I am tbleto obtain. These marked thus are .-supposed to be under the
influence of Too.ing and the t aauo chit f. On his (the Caddo chiefs) return from St. Antonio not long since, he delivered a speech to the ah.es and : atchhochea, to the following effi ct : 4 You recollect when our oid fiiend tooling to d us not to permit the Americans a.,d their Indians to come into this country, they would kid ah our game. We were fools and would not beiieve him ; now you see I is words were true ; tie Americans and their Indiana have ki led an our deer and buffalo and it is difficu t to get meat for our fa niiies: I am just returning from Si. Antonio, and my advice is, that you have your bo iv and arrow ready. Our old father (the king of Sp un,) will soon be here and drive all the AmericanS to their own country ; and when any of their traders come among you, if you cannot get goods at your own prices siezc and carry them to St. Antonio" , . Similar talks have been given on Red
river, and some oi om " been mal -treated : their licences have been torn, and they were threatened to be driven out of the country : the Indians said it was Tooling's &c the CaddH chief's orders to do so. I have also seen a letter signed Vori'HY, who is said to be the Spanish consul at New-Orleans,. to the chief of the Appaches inviting him to Havannah without a moment's delay. Tnese simultaneous circumstances induce a belief that the Spaniards are attempting to engage the attention of the Indians for some future operations in this quarter. NEW-YORK, May 13. Earthquake We learn from Mr. Ritchie, a passenger on board the Islington that there had been a severe Earthquake between Tobasco and the South Seas, 60 miles distant from the former place, which had sunk land 30 leagues in extent ; the whole face of the country had been torn up, and the rivers Tobasco k St. Francis were rendered impassable by the thousand floating trees upon its surface, n Indian village had been swal-
lowed up, with all its inhabitants.
