PIRACY AND MURDER. CHARLESTON, OCT. 9. Vg know not whether horror, or indignation, will most predominate, in the feelings of the American leader, at the perusal of the following monstrous atrocity. That, in a Spanish port, under the government of a power with whom we are at peace, such an act of barefaced villanyund murder could have been contemplated, and the piratical launch fitted out and manned to perpetrate the deed, would seem almost incredible, were not

days. The arguments of the agents for the respective governments were closed on Saturday last. The commissioners, vc understand, differ in opinion. It therefore becomes their duty to make reports of their proceedings hitherto, to their governments, who will then, in pursuance of the provisions of the treaty, a-

gree upon some friendly sovereign as an. umpire. The most important point upon which they differ, is in relation to th position of the north-west angle of Nova Scotia, or. in other words, the northeast angle of Maine. The territory in dis pute contains about five millions of acres , of land, a part of which is said to be good. The reports ol the astronomers and j f urvcyors, and the arguments of the a-

gents, art said to he immensely voluminous, and to bear testimony to their industry, and vc doubt not to their talents. E t e n ing Jo u rn c '.

Gazette dated FOr.T WAYNR, BE FT. 4th, 1321. ' On Saturday evening last, I returned from attending the Treaty Rt Chicago In Illinois state. The treaty lasted about two weeks after the arrival of Governor Ca35. The number of Indians w as supposed to be about 2,000, mostly Potawatomie?, though a respectable representation of the Ottowaysand Chippeways attended. The result of the treaty was favorable the Indians ccc-jd p. large tract of country, lying principally in the territory of Michigan. This tract ol countt y embraces two larc livers, which empties into Lake Michigan, and are navigable a great distance up. It is also w ell watered with numerous and never failing creeks and rivers. I don't assert this from a representation, butactnal observation. 44 The Potawatomies were considered the largest owners of this purchase, and they are to receive an annuity of S5,000 in specie, for 20 years. The others receive smaller sums, which I do not recollect ; they received at the time a large quantity of goods at the purchase. The Grand river to its source is the northern line, and the St. Josephs the souhern line, about thirty or forty miles up, it then runs south to an east line drawn from the

southern extremity of Lake Michigan, thence cast to a purchase made from the

Potawatomies at Fort Meigs, thence fol

provisions in case those lines should not Ctrikc the points designated. Resnt. yours.
