H 'ar again By Col. Field who arrived at this place on Wednesday evening last . from Fever River Lead Mines, we icarn, ' that before his departure from that place, a letter was received from (Jen. Atkinson dated at Prairie du Chien 20th August, enclosing a letter from Gov. Cass andT. L. McKctmcy, U. S. Commissioners for holding a treaty with the Indians at Green Hay. Messrs. Cass and McKcnncy state that they could effect nothing by counciling with the Winnebagoes ; that not one fourth of the tribe attended, and that those who did attend, refused to give up the perpetrators of the murder at Prairie du Chien, and those engaged in the attacks of the contractors boats descending the river from St. Peters. They further remark that Shambly the chief of the Ottoways had been among the Pattowatomies, and rc ported to the commander at Chicago, that the Pattovatomie3 and Wir.nebagocs were making prcpations for war, by secreting their women and children and preparing provisions for a campaign. Messrs Cass and McKenncy informed Gen. Atkinson that no terms culd be made with the Winnebagoes and advised him to march immediately, fearing that an attack would be made on the miners at Fever River. I he letter bears tho date of August 13th. Gori, Atkinson accordingly marched with 600 men from the Prairie on the 29th uit. Gen. Whhesides and Col. Dodge on the same day marched from the mines, v.ith 150 mounted men Two hundred men from Green Bay, with 100 Mcnonv inies, were to leave Green Bay on the 1 5th Aug. for the portage between the Ouisconsih and Fox livers, where the whole body of troops were to rendezvous. An attack will then be made upon the hostile Indians, & from the force employed, we cannot but r.nticipalo a speedy settlement of our Indian dtlTicu tics. The council at Greco Hay was to be closed on the 15th August. Illinois Int. Mr. Scout The opinion of the immortal Jefferson, of two individuals, whoso characters arc now passing in review before the American pulTic, cannot fail to be highly interesting, and instructive to your readers. The authority of Mr. Randolph, (son in law to Mr. .kiVerson, and former governor cf Viri;inu.) is so unquestionable, that we accept the opinion, as from the patriarch himself, and have no doubt but that they arc responded to unanimously, by the Republican ireen.cn of our country. M V. Extract of a letter from Thomas M. Randolph, Esqr. to the Editor of the Virginia Advocate I am very sure that I heard Mr. Jef ferson say, and I think it was about the last of July or the fust of August, 1825. but it might have been in December, that it was fortunate for the country that Gen. Jackson was likely to ho fit for public life four years alter ; tor in him seemed to be the only hope left of avoiding the dangers manifestly about to arise out of the broad construction now again given to the Constitution of the United Suites, which effaced all limitations of powers, and left the general government, by theory , altogether umcstraincd That its character was plainly enough about to be totally chan gcd,and that a revolution, which had been hitherto indistinctly contemplated at a very great distance, was now suddcr y, and unexpectedly, brought clo e to our view. Of General Jackson, Mr. Je Hereon often ssid. that he was an honest, sincere, firm, clear-headed and strong minded man ; of the soundest political principles ; which he knew well, from having observed his conduct while Senator of the United States, when he was Vice-President himself. He had no doubt, that if General Jackson should be brought into office to correct the alarming tendency towards formidable, and otherwise irremediable evil,btginning to develop itsclf'in the administration cf the general government, he would be entirely faithiul to that " Towards Mr. Clay as a politician, Mr Jefferson constantly manifested a very strong repugnance, and often si" 1 that t.e was merely a sulendid orator, without any valuable knowledge from c:ipeiicn;:e or atudy, or any determined public principle.! founded in sound political ccicr.ee, either practical or theoretic d. Bv the packet ship Willhm Thompson, from Liverpool, on the 16th, and the hdwarU Bonaflfe, horn Havre, on the 17th of July, London papers to the 1 4th, and Paris to the 16th, haic been received at New York. . , Despatches of the 29th June, received at the Foreign Office from Sir Frederick A hin, by the Ionian Messenger, announ
ced that an insurrection had broken out in Albania. The rumor that the Pacha of Egypt intended to declare himself independent of the Porte, is treated, by the English papers, as not deserving credit. He is, it is said, too wise not to make the most out of the falling weakness of the Ottoman government ; while he has long been independent, for all practical purposes. Siain By advices of the 28th June, a revolt had taken place among the military stationed at Algesiras, and at the camp of St, Roch, in consequence of which twelve officers had been arrested. The troubles continue in Catalonia. Count Torre Alba has fled to Gibraltar. The return of the King and his family to the capital created no sensation. They were received with the greatest indifference. The treaty between France and Mexico has produced a ;;reat sensation in the Spanish court, and also the subject of the Colombian Bishops. Greeks and Turku General Church has been compelled to withdraw his troops from Phalerum. He praises the Greeks, who retreated in good order. Several of the enemy were killed and wounded. 1 he Greeks had only one man wounded. The general's report is dated Salamis, May 2S The pachas of the frontier provinces of Turkey have tcceived ciders to organize the new troops, both cavalry and infantry, on the European system.
Communicated for the Virginia Herald. To SURVIVING OFFICERS OF THE REVOLUTION. Gentlemen Your just claim for some remuneration for half p y, as promised by Congress in 1780, and unfairly commute d in 1 733, after the preliminary articles of peace were signed, :hc war in effect at an end, and the required service performed, was before Congress at their last scs si on, auc not finally acted on. It is the adCicoof some members of Congress, that they be furnished with the number of the officers on the Continental Establishment, now living, and the rank they held at the peace J 783 This is now doing in Kentucky S some other states ; it is desirable that it should be general : I therefore respectfully proposeuhat each repoi t him self on or before the first of November ne:;t, to the Marshal of their respective

ITEMS treaty for the settlement of the affairs of Greece, between England France and Russia, was signed in London on the Gth July. The Porte is positively stated to have refused the intervention of tin European powers, in regard to the affairs of Greece, and to have resolved to listen to no further anplications upon the subject. All Muss'dmcn arc to bj summoned to arms. The Greek national assembly having terminated its labors, has dissolved itself ; and the sea' of govet nment has been transferred to Napoli dc Romania -Three British ships of the line are ordered to proceed to the Dardanelles, under the command of adm Bcauclcrc. The Russian squadron on the way to the Mediterranean, included nine ships of the line. The statem nt of the surrender of the Acropolis u the Turks is confirmed A severe action is said to have taken place off MiuJenc, between the Russian and Tuikish fleets, in which the latter have suffered severely.
