THE WESTERN SUN riNCENNES DECEMBER 9, 1826.

I can have no objection to giving the following communication a place. The plan of putting up the account current of a county at the court house door, has always appeared to me useless; it may remain up a week, before it is pulled down, but the probability is, that it will not last half that time. By having it published in a newspaper, it becomes a public document in the hands of the people, to which they can refer at any time. To the Board of Justices of the county of Konx, Indiana. gentlemen We believe it to be the practice in all the counties in this state, in which a newspaper is printed, for the Justices to have published yearly an Aceaunt Current, showing the receipts and expenditures of the county for the past year. Ceitain rumors now in circulation, renders it desirable that such an exhibit should now be made to the citizens of Knox. We have a right to know how our money is appropriated, and to you wc look for the information. MANY CITIZENS. The Chickasaw Treaty. Private let ters and other ace u:n hac cched us, 1 which left the treaty ground just befote i the final determination of the Indians was to be given in; from which it appears, j t the obstinate refusal of the chiefs of ! that every proposition made to them by our commissioners, let t no hope lemaiuing that a treaty with them could be effected at this time. This result is much to be regretted, and we question if not a much or more on account of the Indians themselves than on our account. T.ie object of the treaty is certainly very important to us Albamiani locally and generally;

and to the westcin country still more so, ning the Albany D. Advertiser of yestetbeing deeply interested in having the day morning. From the tctutns rcceiv-

banks ol the Mississippi, and especially ne side of it, altogether freed of Indian population ; which is indeed indispensable for the accommodation of the im mense intercourse continually afloat on this noble stream. j If the Government really contemplate-) i removing the Indians out of our States and Territories, they arc indubitably pur- ! suing the worst'possible plan to effect that object. It is clear to us, that lucrative a gencies in the nations, with huge expen sive establishments placed among all the j tribes, thereby filling the nations with whiles, whose interest is to remain, must be calculated to impede, if not totally destroy, every attempt to treat for the purchase of their land. Let us ac. generously toward this unfortunate people, but not by our own imprudence place obstructions in the way o! every necessary arrangement. This matter has now become a national grievance, and calls for investigation. The late treaty or treaties with the Creeks, caused great embarrassment, and threatened serious consequences. The Indians resisted even to blood and this has been attributed to bad advisers. The Cherokees have been, and still arc, determined. It will he worse than useless to attempt to treat hereafter under present circumstances Wc learn also, that there is little hopes of a treaty being made with the Chocktaws Flo. Gaz. It is positively predicted in most of the Paris Journals, that the new Portuguese Constitution will not permit the absolute monarchy of Ferdinand the Seventh to survive for two years longer. Nut. .our. fro.it Colombia. NEWS INDEED. IF TRUE I New York, Nov. . Imfirtait Nckvs We announced, a few days since, that the Provinces of Cumana. Quito, and Guayaquil, had joined what is called the Confederacy of Venezuela, and united in calling for the immediate assembly of a National Convention. Bv wav of Jamaica, we now have advi ces that the Department of Niagdalcna has also united with the Provinces for the I same purpose. Carthagcna pipers of the j 29th of September, with which we have J been furnished, contain the details of this act of the municipal authorities, and a de claration of the necessity that exists for an improvement in the present state of f . i thincs. W e have also been lavored with the following extract of a letter from a very respectable gentleman of Carthagena, by whom it will be seen that a most important change in the Government of CoLOMniA is about tobe made, and that BOLIVAR it to be invested with su firemt awhority Merc. Adv. 14 Cart.htKrtna, 3 1st Oct. S26. Drau Sir : Art opportunity offering for Jamaica permits us to enclose to you an extraordinary Gazette of this city, containing the proceedings had and rcsoluti-

cms adopted by the military chiefs, municipality, and citizens, on the 28th and 29th ultimo, by which you will perceive that our Province joins Venezuela and the othcr Departments, in their call for a reform of Government. The affair has been conducted in the spirit of good order and unanimity. Our common occupations were not interrupted a moment ; St all goes on as though nothing had happened. A messenger is to be sent immediately to Bolivar, who is expected in Bogota the 12th of this month, and whose presence will, wc hope, restore concord to the Republic. We beg leave to conrcy to you our firm conviction that no event will endanger foreign property in this country. Whatever change may take place in the former Government, neither we nor our property will be molested ; and we shall be glad to learn that all who have interests hcie, feel satisfied under this assurance. The present intention of the Peo

ple is to give to Bolivar extraordinary power, to act as he may think proper ; the end will probably be that he be named Perpetual Dictator. Friends as we are to the cause and march of liberty thr.me hout the world, wc cannot help admitting that this People arc not capable of enjoying it, and would be more happy under a rigorous military despotism-, which wc are last approaching to. These frequent political movements will, we fear, affect ur friends in London, hut we do no' ourselves doubt that, if Boiivar return, and acts under the cxlraoidinary powers given to him, aii the crcdiiors of the country will feel the benefit of it. Ore of his first measures w ill be to vc establish the national credit abroad as well us at home. We see no evil to apprehend, and a great deal of good to icsult from the change." Nk.w York, Nov 1 6. The Elccfion.h the Steam Boat New Philadelphia, we received last eve ed up to that time, it waB ascertained that Mr. Clinton was elected Governor by a majoiity of between 2000 and 300.) voters. It was also osceitaincd that Mr Pxtciikh was elected Lieut. (Yovernor. National Road.---The following information respecting this road is Iruin the Pub'ic Legcr of November 1 : Mr. Knight has located this road to the eastern boundary of Indiana, four miles j cast of this place, where he and his par ty encamped on Friday, the dinst. The campaign is now concluded, and the pat ty have gone to their homes. Richmond is made a point. Should congress accede to the proposition of Gen Nblc, to open and grade the road through this stale immediately, travelling, improvements and accommodations will multiply upon it at a great rate.

This gallant littie force seems to havf put the Pacha to flight, for he p; ecipi;atc!v returned frMm Samos: the ia?t lime I heaid of him he was at Mhyiene. and I have no doubt that long ere this he has been foiced back into tin Dardanelles. The camp at Escala Nova, opposite the Island of Samos, was broken up s:)me time since The troops at this station were to have invaded the island, and to have acted in conceit with the Turkish fleet." Madrid, Oct. 2 -(Private correspondence ) After having received an cxtraor dinary Courier, Mr. Lamb sent a note to M.Salmon, requiting the payment of the loan of 50 millions of reals due to Great Britain. It is generally believed that this note concluded by insinuating lhat in cave of non payment, England would take pos t" session of some place as a guarantee for the repayment. The name of the place is not mentioned, but the reports which were in circulation several months since respecting the Island of Majorca, are renewed. The transmission of this note appears to confirm the report that France and England had combined to force our government to change her political system ; for, if it be not so, England, who is well aware that we arc not able to pay, would not at this time ask for money ; & on the o-

ther hand the general topic at the palace Is the instructions said to have been received by M. de Monstier, not to interfere in any measures relative to the management of our government.
