TEHKE HAUTE, October 15 I am mucii pleased to have it in my power to say that Mr Knight has again arrived in our town with his party, in good health and Hue spii its The permanent location of the National Road is completed through our town it enters Wabash street at its eastern extremity, and leaves it at its western termination, crossing the Wabash at Mr. Farrington's ferry. The width of the Wabash at this point, at low water mai k is something more than "9 rods at high water, piobabiy thirty one rods. The distance from Indianapolis to the cotnt house in this village, is 7o miles to Wabash river at low water, 7V miles wanting three chains. The - route, Mr Knight informs me from this to Iudiatnpo is, poss-essts lax orable advantages lor a ir.-od toadWestern Register. The Michigan R ad A great degree of interest appears to be felt by the e ill 7. is of Indiana, on the subject ot the location of the contempla'ed road from lake Michigan to the Ohio rivet One pari) is anxious that it should stiike the Ohio above, one below, and one at this place. At present i' is impossible to say which of these pat ties will prevail. It is believed, hjwever, that it may be advantageous to th state, if the Legislature should not decide upon any particular route at the next session. If application should be made to Cong

ress at the approaching session, to make a donation of land, that would be sufficient to enable the state to construct zltjU way Cfrom the lake to the Ohio, xve are petsuaded with success; especially if t tic Le nislaturc would agree to make it on the most eligible route to the falls of Onio. We suggest this plan to the consideration of the people of Indiana, under a full conviction that it may be carried into cf feet If ever a -system of internal im firovrments should be adopted, it canno be doubted that a great road or rail way, ft am lake Michigan, extending south, to the ocean, through Return ky St Perniossec, will constitute the main arteries of which that system must be composed -These crossing the great Cumberland road and the contemplated road from Washington City to New Orleans, would, if completed, constitute what xve would term a system of internal imiroxements, ami would be of incalculable national utility. I hev would be alike invaluable in a commercial or military point of view ; as thev would enable thr government in the event of a future was 'u transport with facility la' ge bodies of troops and muni'ions of war from the centre, to the various extremities of the Union. W invite those interested to examine the map of the United Slates, and to say whether the foregoing hints are not worthy of their serious consideration Louisville A Iv. Rv the arrival at Boston of the Olive .Rrmeb, Capt. Hat ding, who sailed bom Liverpool September 2d, advices one day lalrthan those by the Canada, have been rcc ived. An overland despatch had arrived from In-In, with information of the death of the celebrated chief Hunjcct Sing. The r,ossengcr passed through Constantinopi. on the 3d of August, and brought letters fu ly confirmine: previous accounts of the arming of the Turks and the defeat ni the Russians near Li ievica. In two engagements xviththc Persians they xve re tlHracd and cut down in great numbers. The Greek pirates arc exceedingly b 'd. .fhey had raptured three vessels tin.lw the guns ol the Dardanelles I'xxo pt p iteers, disguised as met chant vessels, led attempted to pass into the B ack sea The crexvs xvcre recogni.ed as pirates The vessels were immediately seized and thr crews imprisoned. Late accounts from Sierra Leone state, that the Ashantees had evinced a great desire to conclude a treaty of peace with the English. Fuedkricton, N B Sept. 18. Xrti East lioun tarn cf the U States. 1 nc hostile attitudes ami declarations of some persons in the xicinity of the Madawaska settlement, (calling themselves American citizens.) seem to be the general subject of conversation; and various repot ti with regatd to their conduct arc in circulation Wc have good reason to believe they have acted with violence, and we arc in dined to think they will find, ere lung, with great indiscretion too. Although the pu st ion as to the boundary line in tint uuarier is ct unsettled, the f:r session ol the Madaxxaska distiict is admired, eti all

hands, to be in the British government ; and we are xvell persuaded no .attempts will be made, eithet by stratagem or open vioience, on the part of the U States, or the ntighboi ing states, to change that possession. If lawless individual? choose to behave disorderly, wc trust they xvill, sooner or later, be taught propel respect for the laxvs, by such visitations as xvill make a lasting impression on their minds. It will be unlortunate it there is any
