uiAiin 7 ; is cua.i ,ed ; that the John HHim i ordered to be fitted out : and V t4fcrt Uie ships of war ordered to l)e buiit congress, ate to oe torwarded with ail DOfclibi e expedition. Tie k aranac, capt Eiton, iras just sailed from t..is port and the Ontario capt Biddlo, is on the ev ol sailing. Bv Lue arrival yesterday of the srhr. Evening Post, in todays from Port-au-Prince, and on; y 5 from land to land, we learn, that on fie 23d Ju y, the. I States frigate Congress eapt. Morris Arrive-1 there with an agent on board to demand satisfaction for injuries received from tne two sahic chiefs, Petion and Chrifctopiie. The fallowing account of her toyage is furitished by an officer on board. " Tne frigate Congress, commanded bvcapt. iVlorris, rrived at PortaUPrmceon the 28d of July; she came into p. tWiiands.Jine BtyiC without a pilot Thenokt morning, a salute was fired by the ongresa and returned from the arSoual. Capt Morris k his offii era waited on President Petiouthc nest day Sc Were much pleased with the natural dignity of his deportment. The President expressed t lie ;i;i-a; pleasure he felt in beholding for the first time an American frigftte in his port. I nfortur ate ly the absence of .r. Taylor our late consul, prevented any definitive negoeiation on "V. tne object oi tne frigati ' visit ; but the

marked attention ot the President in 4 small matters sufficiently, shewed the value he placed on the friendship of the U. States, 1 he officers of government that visited the frigate" were greatly pleased With her appearance. In snort, the government, in selecting capt Morris could not have made a Iv ppier choice : hi polite deportment to all, Sc his great science in ins profession will produce that respect to the government of the U. States, Which she is so justly entitled to. The frigate left there on the 27th Ju.v.for the Cape, with Mr Taylor, minister on board, to make the necessary demands his government may have thought were jus: fi bm Christophe. Look Out A person calling himself James Clark but w nose real name is believed to be lames Stewart, passed through osey township, a few days since he purchased two valuable horses and gave In payment one note of $50 mid one note lor S-1 purporting to be on the Miami K.porting company and a note ot Sio on the Lancaster bank, a gtO note oh the Chambersburg bank and a $10 note on tKe Virginia" bank, Which provod to be counterfeit. He was pursued, hut not Overtaken : the horses, however, were found in the possession of Stephen Sicw -art, who lives on Mill creek 7 miles from Cincinnati, Who gave them up. , It is painful to remark that there ts a rendeavoua for horse thieves k counterfeiters on Arnold's creek, measures have been taken to bring some of them to justice, tnd, Register. FROM THE MISSOURI 0 ZF.TF Tv a gentleman int arrived heie from Vevvi" leans, via, river Du tohitta, WC are informed that a formidable coalition of ihdians tribes have assembled at the Cherokee villages on the Arkansas consisting of Cherokees, C hactaws, Shaw anoes, and Delawares from the cast side of the Mississippi and Caddo's, Ctfshattcs. Tanks wahs, Commanches and the Cherokees of the Arkansas ; for the purpose of waging war against the Osages. The Coshattes, Tankawahsand t addo's of Red river, and tin- t herokees of the Arkansas, complain that the Osages are perpetually sending strong war parties into their country killing small hunting hands of their people, and driving off their horses. Our informant travelled part of the dist. .nee between the Quachitta and Arkansas rivers with a large party, going on to join the confederate troops. They had 6 field pieces with several whites It half breeds, who learn ed th use of artillery under Gen. J ickn last war. They said the) wen inf .: nied that the Osages had built forts, to Which they intended to retinal after the general battle, which it is thought will he fought near Kari ait's salt works on the Arkansas, on that cluster w streams called the Six-Bulls and above the boundary line lately run between the interior COU ties el this territory and the Oss ge country.

The Osages are aware of the intended itt ck, but cannot believe they will be met by such a formidable force. As tney a. ways fight t .eir pitched batties on horse back, it is probable they will be defeated in that broken country they have chosen for the combat. LATE FROM AMELIA. MXW-YOR.lt, AUG. II. By the brig com. Decatur, capt 1 totan, in S days fiom Amelia island, .we learn, that on the night before he sailed the Spaniards began to Storm that place about' ii o'clock, and kept up a brisk fire of musketry and some 6 pounders. Gen. M'Gregor's force was about 2oomen. On the morning the fire ceased and the Patriot flag was s'iil Hying, but the tinai result was not known, when the brig got under weigh. A large French brig, loaded with sugar and coffee had been toot' in under suspicion of having Spanish property on hoard, and it was supposed would be condemned. The Patriots had a large brig and several schooners Gen. M Gregor was waiting for further reinforcements.

Affray at Fort Harrison. A few days since an Indian having possessed himself of a horse belonging to a 1 . id then at the fort, and refusing to give him up without a tribute which the boy could not procure Mr. Smith a resident there interfered. After a short altercation the Indian wounded him with a knife, winch he left sticking in his body Vnother Indian seizing the knife ana making off with it was promptly pursued by some of the inhabitants, Sc capt: 1 1 v.Mii. ton, oi that place coming up with him, knocked hhn over and gave him some heavy blows, which, were considered mortal They then returned k were informed, of having mistook the Indian, who had wounded Mr. Smith and who was then m iking off on horseback Pursuit was immediately given an 1 the In dian refusing to stop was shot by CaptHamilton, and soon expired. We are happy to state that thro' the exertions of Gen. Posey, the affair was amicably ad justed and the remaining In di ns departed p.foftB9ttig perfect satis-iietion.

stephenson's communication to May WhitioCk, in an Extra sheet;

Two of the commissioners of the nav (commodore Rodgers and commodore Uecatur) are iiow absent, at New-York to make arrangements toi the consiruction of a line of battle slop, and two fi igates, the frames Icothei materials fo which are now collecting there, similar arrangements it is expected, will lx made by them at Portsmouth, Boston & Philadelphia before their return, at eacn oi which places a line'of battle ship and a frigate is to be constructed the line ot battle ship, at this navy yard, is progressing rapidly ; the materials for a frigate are collecting, and the 74 at Norfolk has been commenced. It is confidently believed that the new ships of the line will carry their guns higher than the Independence. Washington fx. Franklin. Frames of line of battle ships and frigates are cutting in Georgia k Louisiana, Liberal encouragement has been gn -en to men of capital and enterprise to engage in this business, and when we compare the number and perfect condition oi our ships now in existence, with the deaved state of the ships of other nations, and recollect the ease 8c expedition with which we can build and equip fleets, independently of other considerations, we may now justly rank ourselves among the first naval powers. There are strong reasons for believing that the 9 ships of the line 12 frigates 3 steam battel ies, authorised by law, will be completed for a less sum than the-8 millions appropriated for the gradual increase of the navy Our navy will then consist of i2 ships of the line, i9 frigates 8 sloops of war, 4 steam battel ies, and a proportionate number of smali vessels, independently of the fleets on the Lakes. We have now in commission o ships of the line, 3 frigates, 7 sloops of war, & a number ol small vessels, employed in surveying our coast and other services Nat. Intel.
