AN INDIAN WAR BREWING.A letter from a gentleman at Belle Point, on the Arkansaw, to another in this city, says, that the Cherokee and Osage Indians are on the eve of another war. That the Cherokees are the aggressors, it is said, there is no doubt They had, within a few days, stolen forty horse fiom the Osages ; and in taking them home, they killed four men and wounded several more. This mode of proceedure is looked upon by the Osage nation as a war measure, and justly. There are a number of the more northern Indians who are urging the Osages to war, and offer them assistance, &c. It is said that Maj. Bradford, of the rifle regiment, who commands at Fort Smith, sent word t them, if there was a war to be carried on. he must have a hand in it, and they must and should suspend hostilities until they heard from him He was to hold a council with them in

a few days. Nat. Intel. m m The three Indians who murdered Messrs. Wood and Bishop, on the Portage river, in Ohio, have been arrested and tried, and two ot them convicted of murder, before the court of common pleas, held at Norwa'k, (Ohio) they are to be hung on the first day ot July next. The third, a lad of 16 years, was acquitted. ---"ibid. INDI AN OUTR AGE.

On seeing the attempt of the Indian to shoot him, Air. Sargeant retreated towards his house, but was fired upon and severely wounded between his shoulders by a charge of yhot. Several men have been sent in pursuit of the offenders. m Situ e the above was in type we have been informed that the men who pursued the Indians came up with them yesterday that they fired on the pursuers, and that in attempting to escape two of the Indians were killed, fone of whom was the Indian who wounded Mr. Sargeant ;) six others v CH8 taken prisoners, and two made their escape. Detroit Gazette. New-York, June 12. Accounts are received in Montreal, that eight regiments of infantry, one of cavalry, and a proportional addition to the marines and seamen on the Lakes, are on their way from Great Britain to Canada. Various conjectures are entertained as to the object oi this movement. One states that it proceeds from the high-toned replies ft the United States' government, In the explanation demanded by Great Brit lit) on the Arbuthnot and Ambrister business Nokkolk, June 1 1 . The United States' ship John Adams, under the command of Com. Perrv, is at anchor in Lynnhaven bay.

The squadron, n united, is to be commanded bv Com Fi- ruy, who will then hoist his broad pendant on board the Constellation. The Governor of the Canadas has quarrelled with the House of Assembly of the lower province, and prorogued the session. The dispute related to the Tax Bill, in hlth the Legislature wollld not grant what his Excellency deemed the necessary supplies for the cu' rent year.

The Stockholders of the Independent Bank of Richmond, Kentucky. i r Ti i i . t have had a meeting and declared it inexpedient to carry the institution into operation -- They therefore withdrew "their stock, and dissolved the charter.

Louisville Pub. Adv. From a Baltimore Pafier. FIRK I Between the hours of 10 and 1 1 o clock on Monday night, the distres sing cry of r IRE was resounded thro the streets of our city. It proved to be on Federal Hill in the large and commodious house erected by subscription for a Sunday School. It was nearly finished, and on Sunday last 0 for the first time Divine service Was performed there in the presence of about 400 persons. 1 he building, together with the stationery, were consumed. Thus, by the sacriligious arm of some midnight ruffian, has an establishment dedicated to the service r t.. i u r . u : r " "V c mruiu" 1 "c '" " .,m,c wuu luc oDJecls ms Peculiar care, been pt in th.c conflagrating element. We most fvently hope this attrocitive to redoubled vigilance on the part of those to whom the guardianship of our lives and property are delegated during the hours of nocturnal gloom. A London paper of January last contains the following short but important paragraph : u Some idea of the importance of; the treedom of the provinces of South America, to the commerce of Great Britain, may be formed from this fact, that nearly every shift now loading in the London Docks, is bound for Buenos-Ayres." THE JEWS. In the year 1200, in the reign of Edward I. the property of all the Jews in England was confiscated to the use of the crown ; 280 of them were hanged in one day, charged with adultering the coin.

Mr. I Rotchchiield. a celebrated Jew, was at the head of most ol the loans to the European kings and emperors.

The thief cried out u it is a fair race catch me if you can " by which means the people were induced to believe it was reallv a fair race, and no efforts were made to stop him. In this wav he passed through the village, and shortly after vaulting from his saddle, took shelter in the woods. The horse, which was a very valuable one, was recovered, but the thief escaped.
