Thc same was also done between thc Foxes, Socks and Iowas, on the one part, and the Sioux, subject, however, to the

The Winnabagocs and Menominas were not very definite in their claims, but it is supposed will enjoy thc country which they occupy as common slock. The Pottawatamics and Ottawas attached themselves
pretty much to the Chippewas, with whom they wished to connect their claim ; This is the first time for a centur, tha-. the tomahawk could be said to be com plctcly buried on tbe Upper Mississippi; and it is believed that thc pledges which the Tikiiaua have made to each other, will be cb served with good faith.

The anniversary of our national independence was celebrated by the ladies of Huntsville, Alabama, in a manner suitable to thc occasion.
Thc Austrian troops, kept in Naples; arc to be reduced to 12,000 men. Thcofliccrs share, of the " Decean prize money,' is estimated at two milli" ons sterling. It is stated that Spain is making a great effort to send three thousand troops to Cuba. The late accounts of thc splendid victories of the Greeks seem to be amply confirmed and yet there are rumor of some reverses. Thc delegates who lately met at Staunton, Va. to deliberate on the expedicixy of holding a convention to amend the constitution, were unanimous in recommending that measure. They passed resolutions specifying the amendments they desire, which are to abolish the governor's council; to extend thc right of suffrage; and make the white population the basis of representation.
