THE WESTERN SUN

VINCENNES, July 21, 1827. The steam tow boat arrived at this place on Saturday morning last, and after discharging a part of her cargo, proceeded up and on Tuesday the 17th, passed down. I have been requested to announce Mr John Setzer, as a candidate for Director of the Poor House, at the August election. I have been requested to say, that Mr. Samuel Hill, is a candidate for Justice of Peace, for the Township of Vincenncs, at the approaching election. I have been requested to announce Cnht. Robert Buntm. as a candidate lor

Justice ol ttie Peace for Vincenncs Town- j

ihip, at the approaching election. Mr. Ksioht, who is engaged in locating the National Road westwardly, is now within a few miles of this place, with a permanent location. After reaching here he will probably commence running a random line west wardiy as far as Vandalia, Illinois, to which point it is expected he will attempt a permanent location during the present season. la. Jour. A report reached St. Louis on Tuesday last, that the Indians residing cn the Upper Mississippi, in the vicinity of Prairie du Chirn, and the Lead Mines, had been committing outrages upon the inhabitants of the former place, by killing some, and driving the others from their homes. The report, states, that the Miners on Fever river, and the adjacent country, (out of the reserve) had been compelled to retreat into the town of Galena, lor safety : the Indians threatening them with death, if they did not quit digging up their lands. From all the circumstances connected with the report, it is more than likelv, that there will be some difficulty

between the Indians and Miners of that j quarter III. Int. i

Indian fos?7'.'i--Kxtract of a letter from George Madeira, Eq at the Lead Mines on Fever river, to his sister in Springfield, doted U'htie Oak S firings, July 3, 1827. "This will be handed to you by Mr. Stockins, who is an express for assist-mce to defend the Mines. There have been two white men killed and several wound cd. The two were killed on their reutrn from St. Peters, and four wounded the other three were wounded App'.c river, twelve miles distant lio n this place. AVc are all well fm tifud. The Sacs and Foxes promise to furnish the Agtnt with fifteen hundred warriors. You need not apprehend their will be any d wger of our losing our lives. We are uist as sale here as we would be in Philadelphia 1 he soldiers that are below have been sent for. You will in all probability bear difibrcnt talcs, but give credit to none of them, as you know every thing will be magnified." Indian Outrage . We I earn from the Peoria mail carrier, that several citizens of Morgan and Greene counties, lately returning from the Lead Mines with their wagons, were robbed by the Indians near Hock river, of all their provisions, and one yoke of oxen. The number of Indians" was about sixty ; and it i? supposed that the robbery was committed lion; the impulse of hunger alone, as no personnl injury was attempted. The company, in consequence, were destitute of provisions for five days, before they reached the nearest settlement. From most of these who have left this county for the Lead Mines, we hear that ihey arc doing well. More wagons and teams arc there however, at present, than can be employed in transporting the ore from the diggings to the furnaces. The above mentioned persons had gone thilhf r for that purpose, and were returning lor want of employment. Sangaxio S:cc.

.'ew York: June 25. We learn from the Eclipse, which left Laguira on the 6th instant, that Bolivar remained at Caracas, and it was not known when he would depart from the interior. A letter from Laguira, of the Sd, says We have intelligence, that by direction of the Executive, all the guns and ammunition in the different forts of Porto Ca-

bello, have been removed, and that the onlv castle now remaining in that place, is to be demolished. The object ,

of these proceedings is quits unknown to us. It is reported here that the Congress has accepted the resignation of Bolivar." Mer. Adv. The packet ship Silas Richards, Capt. Holdridge, arrived at N York on Tuesday evening from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 26th ult. By this arrival the editors of the Com Advertiser have received their regular supply of English papers. These papers enable us to announce the final arrangements of the new ministry, as it will be henceforth constituted.They are as follows: The Marquis of Lansdownc has a scat in the cabinet, but takes no ofticc. The Earl of Carlisle accepted the situation of First Commissioner of his Majesty's Woods and Forests, with a seat in the Cabinet. Mr. Tierney is appointed Master of the Mint, aiso with a seat in the cabinet. Mr. Abcrciomby takes the office cf Judge Advocate General ; and Sir J. Macdonald, that of one of his Majesty's Commissioners for the affairs of India. Mr. Calcraft is talked of for some situation, but the Courier says, " wc havenot heard of any particular one named at present, as likely to be offered to the Hon. Gentleman." These arrangements have caused great satisfaction. The Marquis of Lansdown has accepted a scat in the Cabinet, even without taking office, u in order to throw the full weight of the Whig interest into the scale of the government. It is arranged that he is finally to supercede Mr Sturgus Bourne, as Secretary of State for the Home Department; and Mr. Spring Rice is to be the Deputy. The veteran leader of the Whigs in the House of Commons (Mr. Tierney) has accepted the office of Master of the Mint, which thoroughly identifies the full power of the Whig party with the government. From the death of Mr. Pitt, the country has not seen so strong an Administration, nor. with the exception of the .- hos t period of I80G. hes ilit. re been so feeble an Opposi tioD for half accmlmy. On the same d.-.y a debate took place upon the suhject ol the new Administration, during which lord Holland, in a speech, aowed his motive fur leaving the opposi' ion benches. On the 21st uH. home conversation took ph.ee in the House of LorV.s o: a state, mcnt said to have been mr.de by the Bishop of London to the clergy of hi d.oc. se, concerning ihc King's opinion en ike Catholic question. TrV: Hishop admitted, in answer to aruestivi to the Earl of llarcwood, that he had made such a statement ; it wns tu be cc'lccted from the Bishop's speech also, that he had authority from the liinr to make it. The new Solicitor Gm?ral, Sir N. C. Tindal, has introduced a bill into the H of Commons abolishing an est for debt for all sums under twenty pounds. Expresses had arrived from Lisbon, bringing intelligence that the Princess Regent was in a very alarming ntatc, and not expected to sorv ivc nvp.ny Ivuns. Much anarchy is dreaded in the event of her death. The Paris papers of the 2 2d, mentions that the Trench Capital remains tranquil, but that the spirit of disaffection is spreading rapidly aviong the citizens, and also over tire other departments.

FOR TII WE ST RUN SUN. Mr. S:ozir Please give these few lines an insertion in your paper, which is the sum and substance of a r.o'c sent to, and the receipt acknowledged by the Editor of t lie Telegraph ; and which he chose to liddic, and tal;e such parts as best suited his put p;jse. JOSEPH CHAMBERS. 7V the Editor of the Wabash Tr'egrcfih. Snr I hive noticed in your paper of the 2d inst. some i ema; ks on the subject of a letter that lias passed through my handi, and is said, now to be in the possession of the Rev. Mr. D. of Daviess county. To correct the misapprehensions, and erroneous ideas that have grown out of this letter, is my present object. Mr. R. the author of said letter, does not live in, but not far from Indianapolis. My object in showing the letter, was neither to injure you, nor to favor Judge Polkc ; that part of the letter that had any reference to the ensuing election, was to me, the most uninteresting part of it, and entirely distinct from the object I had in showing it. I know of no art, or means, either clandestine, or dishonorable, made use of to procure the said letter ; neither do I know of any combination for the purpose of thwarting public men or measures. Sometime after I had received the above named letter, Judge Polkc got knowledge of it; he immediately advised and requested me to desist from showing that

part of the Idler that had a reference to the election. After Mr. D. had obtained the letter of mc, he repeated about the same to him. It is my opinion that it was Judge Polke's wish to suppress the publication of that part of the letter above alluded to. Yours Respectfully,

JOSEPH CHAMBERS. John Ewing, esq. June 26th 1827. Col. John Ewing, inspector 1st division INDIANA MILITIA. Dear Col. You can have no conception how much you are indebted to that friend, who first suggested the idea of your appearing en miluaire, on the last 4th of July. Depend upon it, if you arc elected at all, you will owe it almost entirely to this circumstance. Your extreme modesty will, I know, induce you to call it flattery, when I tell you, that your appearance on that day was truly imposing, not to say magnificent; and whilst it served to rekindle the expiiing hopes of your friends, caused evident dismay in the ranks of your opponents. Eor my own part. I could scarce prevent my feelings from bursting forth in the most lively ebullition of joy, when I discovered how gallantly you demeaned yourself, and almost involuntarily exclaimed to a person near mc lie comes, the conquering hero comes, Pride in his port, defiance in his eye." So soon as the ceremonies of the day were over, I sallied out, eager to know how oar grand sche me was like to take with the people, and directed n.y s.eps to ! the mansion of an old revolutionary friend of mine, curious to know, how far your 1 eh ifieau bras, and tilcndid efiaulcfs, had sofiencd his feelings towards you. I found the old gentleman sun minded by half a dozen nieces, and granddaughters who had come to pay their respects to him, upon our national biith day ; and after the common salutations to all, I ventured to ask the. old man, how he liked the appearance of the military gentlemen who had turned out to honor the day. But the question was ill timed ; his mind having wandered back some fifty years, was deeding upon the events o! the Revolution, and upon those departed friends by whose side, he had fought the battles of his country ; and the. stem o'd veteran re piitd, ; talk not to me of those bandbox, fair-weather soldiers, who prostitute the liveiy of their country for electioneering pus-poses,' ami shouldering his crutch, and striking up the air of " Stony Point," hur: lad out of the room. Not at all duunled by this unexpected rr.bofF, 1 put the same question to one ol Ids fair representatives ; and particularly i. !:.';! how she 'as pleaded with my friend C ! n 1 E. " Quite well," wa3 the reply but then said she " I am told his plumarrc wan all borrowed " An cldcilv lady who sat near her, checked the young Miss for this pert sally, and said, that for herself, she really believed Colonel P. possessed much military talent, for when in uniform, he strongly resembled the picture of field Marshal lilucher which she had seen uron a cream cup " Miss D; Tia ( who.is a great novel reader') Sc h?d "just been crying over the affecting story of Chat lottc 1 c.mpie, then spoke up, and said 41 for her part she alwiys thought Colonel E a vry mcr man, but that she grcatlv feared lie was a gay deceiver. I have been thus particular, bee. use I know the. importance you attach to thcopinions of the fair To make the most however of this affair, I would strongly advise you to make the tour of Daviess and Martin counties in complete unilorm, for I have no doubt but by this menus, you may in part 1. away the unfavorable impressions r -

ccd against you, bythe publication of i Lawless Lawyer Law " At all events, do not fail to attend the d'ill mus'er ol the officers of this county, you: chateau will certainly make alivorab c impression Should old Polko be there, and begin the taik about shooting Indians at Tippecanoe, be sue that you tell about the young man whose leg you broke in a duel down on the Mississippi, and also what glorious actions you intend to at chievc next war. Hoping that the event may justify my present impressions, I am dear Colonel Yours to command, Corporal Trim. Mr. Stout Sir : There has been some of my friends charged with writing those two letters to John Ewing, asking an explanation of the analysis of the bill alluded to in the big pamphlet, above the signature of the Farm er ; and aa I would rather sink my own credit, than have my friends abused on my account, I have determined to let this matter go no further Therefore, I solemnly protest and declare, that I wrote those letters myself, and that I neither directly nor indirectly, had the aid of any man, more than to punctuate them this

I promise to testify (o on cath, when X quired. Thomas Williams.
