Indian Murders. A report has been In town, for some days past, that the Pawnee Indians have attacked and murdered a party of men on their return from Santa Fc, supposed to be a part of the United States expedition, for surveying the road thence. The news, as received here, comes from two nations of Indians, the Osagesandthe Kansas, and although no iicsctipiion is given by which the party can be known, yet there is but little doubt

that the murder has been committed. The Pawnees are a very extensive nation of Indians, consisting of three tribes, the Pawnee Loups, Pawnee Republics, and Pawnees of the Plains They inhabit an immense tract of country, extending from the mouth of the Piattc. to the Rocky Mountains.

Fc.tr s were entertained, not long since, for the safety of general Ashley and his parly, but by a letter, which we have seen, direct from the general himself, it appea:s, that he is on his way home, and may be daily expected, having arrived within the settlement on the 9th inst. We are happy to learn, that his enterprise has again been crowned with success ; he will bring vitli him. we are told, one hundred and twenty three packs of Beaver. General Ashley left hereon the 8th oi March last, and has crussjd the Rocky mountains, where he fell in with his men. lie travelled the whole way by land, with park-horses, going and coining, and Ins performed the nip in a shorter time (including several weAs spent there) titan v;;scv::r known b:hrc. lb.

It is denied, by authority, in the latest London papers, that the British government will advance any sums from the public treasury towards the relief of the distressed manufacturers, tho' the ministers approve and second the plan of general and voluntary subscription. Ib. BALTIMORE, Allg. 22 We have seen a gentleman of intelli gence from the Pacific, who states, that the stories which have been circulated of the cause of the delay of Bolivar to return to Colombia, are the effusions of tea-table scandal, and have not a particle of truth for their foundation. It was stated in the papers some time ago, that the citizens of West Florida vcie about to call a meeting for the purpose or pavsing resolutions expressive of the expediency of uniting that tenitory to Alabama. I he Ptnsacola Gazette, states, that the meeting was called, but it was not attended by more than fifty individuals; tha Fiorida aireadv contains 18 or 20,000 inhabitants, and that a hope is entertained that, this population would so inc! ease as i-ho; tly to entitle her to become a state.
