By some public documents, published in the Cory don paper, it appears that the balance due on the state debt is g7,l72, which, with 20,000 of Treasury Note, and interest, makes the state debt, about thirty thousand dollars. The Indiana Farmer, printed at Salem, says Five of the prisoners who escaped from the prison at Jcficrsonvillc, have been taken and replaced.' The Indiana Gazette, printed at Cory don, says " Alexander Rolston, of Indiana, the Engineer selected to survey and level the sites for Armory on Blue river, has commenced the labors assigned him. It is understood that he is also directed to level the Ohio river." I have not received the whole returns of the votes of the state, given for and against a new convention, but from what have come to hand, I believe the majority against it, is, as ten to one.

On the 21st July, near Cape Cruz, in reconnoitering the shore, they were fired at by a party of pirates, about 40 in number Tne boats retreated to the vessels and warped them in sufficiently near to cover their landing, in which they succeeded, and took the pirate battery, on which were mounted three pieces of cannon. They also took eight large boats, four of which they destroyed. None of the pirates were taken, as the mangrove bushes afforded them a secure retreat. It is supposed several ol them were killed and wounded. j.imcrican. Zanesvxlle, Aug. 12. Wc arc informed by a gentleman upon whose authority we can sale.y rely, that Governor

It is probable, therefore, that this valuable land will before long be brought into market. Messenger. Mcdxvay Lace.
