A Member. Removal of run Isdiass The disposition lately evinced by the various tribes of Indians on our frontier, rcndei 5 it indispensa

bly necessary that the general government should immediately take measures for their removal fiom the lands already ceded to the United States, and extinguish their title to any territory willin 'he limits of this state. A large band of the P vtowotanues reside near the rapids of the Illinois, and are daily committing depredations upon the frontier settlements, and alarming the settlers bv threats of immediate hostility. A pait of this tribe, a few days since, attacked the house of a Mr. Malloty, the keeper of the ferry upon the Illinois river, at the mouth (. f Spoon river. The old gentleman and his son were opposed by abou twenty Indians, who, by threading to take their lives, compelled the oi l gentleman to accede to their demands for whiskey. The "oung m;Mi,bv some means, nnde his escape Irom the houe, and crossed the river for assistance. In the mean time the Indians pillaged the house, and look property to the a-

mount ot a huuchcu dollars. I lie voune

. man, alter a short time, returned with' a rein

.-cement of seven or eight active men, when a fight commenced, with clubs on 'he part of the whites, and knives and muskrat spears on the part of the Indians, which resulted in the defeat of the latter, with the loss of two ki!ied and many wounded. The whites were ultimately compelled to retreat across the liver, as a part of the Indians, seeing the battle going against them, had returned to their en campmcnts and armed themselves with their rifles. The whites sustained no mateiial injury. Since the rencountre, we learn that, for a time, the ferry was abandoned, and all travelling upon an important and leading road ceased. The ferry will be again re-established, and if necessary, the proprietor will keep a sufficient force at that point to protect it. The Indians hav e returned to the rapids, and wc trust the agent will feci himself authorized to retain out of their annuity, a sufficient sum to reimburse the ferryman for the dam; ges he has sustained. We. also Icarn that the Wir.ncbagoes on Rock river, have driv en off the men cmyloyed by Messrs. Bogardusand Beat d, at the ferries c.n the upper and lower roads leading to Galena, and now demand the most c-xo, bitant sums of travellers, for permission to ero s that river. We have understood that the sum of fifty dollars was demanded of, and paid, by a person w ith a team ; and after his waggon taken across, the Indians refused to ferry his horses until more was paid them. The United State's mail is subject to the same embarrassments A ttcaty will be held with the northern Indians, during the present summer, ami by it, it is hoped, all these difficulties will be lemoved, and the minds of our ft onticr eitizj ns quieted The Indian agent at St. Louis, was some time since ordered by the government to icmove the Potto wotamies from their present residence. We arc not aware that there are any reasons why that order should not have been promply obeyed. pH7Sinccihe above was in type, we have - received the Sangamo Spectator of May 2S, containing documents, detailing the circumstances in relation to the Indians in substance as above. They will be published next week. Illinois Intelligencer. The bodies of Dr. Cooper, his wife and

The wealthy house of Baring Co in London have obtained a grant of land in Texas, adjoining the territory of Arkansas, as large as the state of Virginia, and have now a strong company exploring the country. Knoxville Reg. NEW YORK, MAY. 17 From London .By the ship Chelsea, capt. Barnes, from London, we have dates to the 18th April. Affairs continued to look war like, and there is every reason to believe that the Russians have crossed the Pruth; but whether there will be fighting or negotiating, after they possess themselves of the Provinces, remain to be' seen. It is said that the fust corps to the Russian army, is decidedly to pass the Pruth on the 1 4th , in the morning The speech of the French Minister of Finance, on the occasion of submitting a loan, is considered favourable to the repose of Fu rope. He said all the States of Europe wanted power. Some imagine that the passage of the Pruth will be delayed for a short time. On the 21st of March, tranquility prevailed at Constantinople. Letters from Vienna, say that the Sultan was about to march an army of 5 000 men in

to Servia, for the purpose of reducing the people to obedience. Great sums of money are sent weekly from London to France, in payment of manufactured silk goods. J flairs of th(- Eost. Very late advices had

reached London fiom Vienna. It was said at Vienna, on the 15th of April, that the couits of Austiia ::md Piuia had resolved to accede to the treaty of the Oth of July, and to pi ess upon the Porte the acceptance cl "" jc condition, proposed in it. The Courier says: 11 We believe that this intelligence will be substantially confirmed. We know tint Austria has been aniiiop.s to induce the. Porte U, adopt a mo'C moderate policy, and that she has warned her of the danger to which her present system would cei'aiidy expose l-rr." The same paper ask: "Would it veiy much surprise our readers if they were to hear, that, as soon as Russia shall have occupied the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, negotiations will be resumed, which may lead

: to an amicable adjustment upon such terms J as these the fulfillment, on the part of the

i Pertcofthe ticaty of Akcrman some defi nitc arrangement with respect to the Principalities and the establishment of the inde- ! pendettce of Greece?" 1 By an article from Ancona an arrangmcnt I is understood to tie on the point of being a

greed to, respecting the Egyptian troops in the Morea Ibrahim Pacha is said to have received his father's instructions, and sixtyeight transports are reported to have arrived in the Archipelago, irom Alexandria, to con vcy the Egyptian troops back to Egypt. It is also stated fiom Z mte,that the national Hag of the Greeks has been hoisted on boaul all the Greek ships, and this has been

; hailed ns an omen of the speedy establish- - ment of the independence of Greece.

It is again said that hostilities have broken out in Servia between the Governor, Prince

'Miloschand the Turkish troops, under the : Pacha of Widdin. The latter arc said to I have been defeated, and the Pacha killed ; But the Courier says it has not received any ! confirmation of this news. M. dc Millitz, the

; Prussian Ambassador at Constantinople, has

ben succeeded by M.de Canitz. It was M. do Millitz who was alluded to the other dav,

as having been recalled bv his Government,

to give certain explanations relative to his embassy. Letters from Cotfu of the 20th of March, written at the moment of the departure of the Courier, states that Ibrahim Pacha had cot.-

j eluded an armistice with the Greeks, but this

news is not given as positive. It is ccitam, however, that the Turks have been defeated in a sortie thev made from Lepanto, and eve ry thing announces that Ibraham is anxious to evacuate tiic Morea. Portagal. Advices from Lisbon arc to the 2dofApiil. Since our last accounts Don Miguel had performed no public act more demonstrative of his attempt to usurp the Crown; but the opinion that universally prevailed in Lisbon, was, that on the 23d ol April, which is the birth day of the Queen Mother, some decisive step would be attempted ANCONA. MARCH 23 By a vessel from the Ionian Islands, wc have received accounts from Zante. ot the 20th of this month., which give the important intelligence that all the Greek ships of w ar and merchantmen at Zante had, with the per-

tional flag on the 18th, a proof that the ricV Governmen of Greece is considered as likely lobe consolidated, and that England recog nizes its independence. The respect of the Greeks for Count Capod'Istria, is said to be boundless; his commands are blindly obeyed, and in all the provinces, private and public affairs are gradually assuming an appearance of order, regularity, and obedience, of which there was before no notion. Count Capo d'Istria will return from Napoli to Egina. No Greek ship can now sail from any port without a permission in writing from the President, by which a salutary check is put upon piracy. Sixty-eight transports have arrived in the Archipclapo from Alexandria, to carry home the Egyptian troops still remaining in the Morea, respecting which negotiations have been going on with Ibrahim since January, but who was obliged first to wait for his father's instructions. The Egyptians have en tirely evacuated Tripolizza; and assembled on the coast between Modonand Navarin. Tripolizza is little more than a heap of ruins; the greater part of the town was burnt and abandoned by the inhabitants. The letters from the camp of general Church again speak of the capture of Anatolico, and of the hope of the speedy surrender of the Missolonghi. A convoy of 2 ) sail, with ammunition and provisions, bound from Alexandria to Candia wes ovei taken by a storm near Damette, and most of the ships sunk, with their crews. Tivo days la wr from France. By the ship Henry, captain Baker, horn Havre, wc have Paris papers to the 1 7th Aptil.. I he Paris papers contain accounts from Odessa to the 24th March, which state, that Russia hail declared war against the Porte. The government of that province had taken some measures in connection with the Hus sian army.

Lest an erroneous impression may go abroad ns to the real extent to which the bill foi the relief of the survivors of the revolutionary ;u my goes, it may be proper to state that it docs not embrace all the veterans of that interesting period. Its operation is confined to those olliccrs who were entitled to the half pay under the resolutions of congress of 1780, ami to those privates who were entiled to a bounty of eighty dollars. Wc know many members, who voted against the present bill, who would have supported any bill which embraced the whole of the officers ; and it is due to them, as well as necessary for the correct information of the public, that it should be un dct stood to what extent the bill actually goes. jXat. Jour. Front the Baltimore Gazette, May 20. Latest Fore gn Xeivs. The foreign intel ligence is highly interesting, as tending to corroborate opinions previously advanced, that the affairs of Turkey and Russia had arrived at a crisis which made war between the two powers inevitable. The following article states the very important fact of the Russians having crossed the Danube, & destroyed several depots of the Turks. The London Courier, which is known to spcakjthc sentiments of the leading members of the Biitish cabinet, c seldom advances an opinion upon any political movement of other courts without great deliberation, seems to think the passage of the Pruth by the Russians as a matter of no moment, but intimates that the emperor must pause before he passes the Danube this last act, as our later advices inform us, has been done, and wc shall now see how far the peace of Europe depends upon the hostile movements of Russia. Passage of the Danube destruction of the Turkish Fortresses.. The following letter was received at the Mci chant's CoffeeHousc, Philadelphia : -Vfr York G azettr Otfice, May 17, half past 1, P.

We have teceived from our correspondents, regular files of Paris papers to the 18th of April, inclusive. From those of the last date, we have translated the annexed article: .

ken possession of several Turkish vessels, and a convoy destined with provisions for tho fortresses of the Danube; after which tho troops returned to their former position. Tho greatest uneasiness exists here, and another invasion from the Russian army is daily looked for." Accounts from Vienna to the 9th, are to this effect : Government this day received intelligence from the frontiers of Transylvania, which is not however, official. The news is that the Russians had crossed the Danube with eighteen thousand men near Gjllots,and destroyed at Moszins, all the magazines and depots of the seraskier of Sillbtria." ::o:o: Candidates Department.
