Sir. Edward Tanner, of New-Madrid County, Missouri, Who passed through this place on tbe 18th i . it. with o Brother, who after a cap ti it) I years, he has at length re-

Ml. I ! NER is a man of undoubted reracity and most excellent intelligence ; and we much regret thai for Want of tii wc are compelled to omit many very interesting particulars In re Ktion to his brother, add his own adven"Vare ;:. pursuit of him ; but the follow-

v uli o doubt be read with some de of interest not onlv for the uucom-

n i perseverance of that gentleman but may facilitate others in recovering their friends, whom the disasters of In n warfare have placed in similar situations. Mr. Tanner is son of the late John. T. Who formerly resided at Tanni cs ita Uont on the Ohio. Mr E. Tanner's younger brother, the subject of this story, in the year l?90, then about nine

old. while Catherine nuts a few

xis irom tne otanon was tar.en ana

carried oiT by the Indians. Various unsuccessful exertions were made for his iecovery previous to the year '95 when Mr. fanner attended Gent. Wayne's Treaty with the Indians at Granville 9l '98 he visited this plare, and having heard that a number of Shawawances Sc Delawares had gone over the Mississippi with Lorimere, an Indian trader In 99 he went and searched among themIn May, 1 800, he left home in Woodford eouuty K.y. crossed the Ohio at CincinBati, examined through all the Indian tribes on the waters of the two Miami's, the Scioto, Sandusky, Miami of the Lake, the rivers Raisin, Detroit, Sandwich and

the Rainy Lake for his family, which consists of a wife and seven children. He is clad in citizen's apparel, 8c is remarkably cleanly in his person of robust manly appearance temperate habits, drinks no anient spirits. Although the Chippewa is his most natural tongue, he can converse in the languages of almost all of the northern tribes ; and if he should succeed in learning the English language, as he DO doubt will soon, he may hereafter be of great service to the Amcrican Government. PENSACOLA. We learn from a gentleman who lately arrived from Pensacola, (says the Mobile Gazette of Oct. 20,) that captain Boyles to whom general Jackson gave the command of a company of rangers, n a s 1 1 a d another brush with the Indians and has been wounded and it Pensacola, although his p aBk I ; ie advantage i the I.idians. ! Vi a further, that part of the troops smjtioiwd at Pensacola, had commenced their march for Appalachicola, but on the arrival of a messenger with despatches for the commander at Pensacola, they were ordered to return to that place.

and all the waters that run into the S. aide of Lake Michigan thence to the Acad of the Illinois, and to the Elkhart, th"e he ul of the Wabash, and down the west side of the Great Miami, crossed the Ohio home. Believing his brother to be dead, he gave up further search Until last March, when he received a lettrr from a nr. Castlenren, inclosing one from Lord Selr irk. which contained such Information as left very little doubt of Ihe existence of hL brother amongst the Indians hi the north. Again on the 1st of ugust last, mr. Tanner set out, wait

instructions as ins excellency thought

r.. cessary, left St. Louis the 15th for L Selkirk's colony in the north on his arrival at Prairie l)u Chien, an Indian trader at that post informed him that a man

liad com? into Michihmacinac with the Indians from the N. West, resembling

him in person: changed his rout, astended the Ousconsin river to the port" , age, crossed tv Fox river, ascended to Green Bay,obtained further encouraging information being informed that the person whom he was in pursuit of spoke no other thm the Chippewa tongue, pro cured an int, rprcter sailed for Macinac onboard the Widow's Son. captain Rupely arrived get information tSiat the said p rson had i;one to Detroit , sailed tor that place arrived called on

Gov. Cas. who informed turn that he believed that the said person (who was called Taylor") had trone to Kentucky in

search of Ins relations being furnished by hrs excellency with horses, Sec. pursued on to Pert Meigs learned that the aid person had been unsuccessful in his search afu r ft lends, and had returned he then turned hack and found his hrothor in the neighborhood ol Detroit, on the i7th cf last month. The feelings of the two brothers when introduced to each other through an interpreter, alter a scperation of 28 years, is a theme for a finer pen than mine. It Seems that the name of John Taylor had, thi tugh tome mistake in the

sound., been taken by the Indians for

o?rn Tanner, which is his proper name.

There is the strongest family rcsera-

blan e b th in the person and featurt s of

yu-e two brothers, and although they cannot converse with each other, exel pt through an interpreter, they look Upon and act towards each other with the mot

ardent frate rnal affection.

This in pf the tjiodsi who indeed s nothing of the savage wildness and

bro-rity in his anp; irance, i; n nv going i I ft i

to N niaana, 10 remain with histriends this wintt r. under the promise that his brother it to go with bun next itjason to

and 1 of his men dangerously wounded ;

this, together with the want of provisions compelled him to return to Pensacola, bringing with him sixteen prisoners. He reports to leave made seven scalps during the expedition. The rangers being very much fatigued I shall permit them to rest a few days. In the mean time I hope Captain Boyles vsiil be sufficiently recovered to resume his command. I shall then once more order him to the Choctahatche, where he is of opinion a party is concealed of from 40 to 50 warriors ; who have resolved never to surrender, confiding on the expected return of the Spaniards, when they are sure of protection and supplies, and will again commence their depredations on our settlements Tins expectation I Matter myself captain Boyles will disappoint and render them harmless long before the province is evacuated. 1 Cannot close this communication without again calling your attention to the meritorious conduct ofcapt. Boyles; in zeal, activity and perseverance, he is surpassed by no partisan I have ever known. I have, &c c-fx WILLI AM KlUG, col. 4th Inf. Mai. gen. A. Jackson, Com'g. D. south.
