THE WE ST REN SUN riXCEXXESx DEOBMBER 27, 1828.

Cougress.l have already received a mass of congressional matter, but as my limited space will not admit it in detail, I have for the information of my readers, availed of a condensed epitome of them, as given in the National Journal and shall hereafter avail of their labors for the same purpose. From Indianapolis, I have the proceedings of the Legislature up to the 13th inst. they are lengthy, and would not be generally in Cresting in detail some parts oi them, however, are important, and next week I shall commence the publication of that part of them relating to matters of a general nature. FIRE. On Monday night last, the citizens of this place were aroused by the tear ful cry of fire ! It was discovered to pro ceed from a small frame building on Second street, owned by gen Lasselle, and used ai the time as a kiln by Mr. Brooks, a cooper It was not discovered until it was too late to save either the stuff or tho building. To the calmness of the night we arc solely indebted for the preservation of the place ; the buildings from the dryness of the season requiring only a spark to put them in a flame, the wells almost destitute of water, the citizens without discipline, and almost destitute of any one article necessary upon such an occasion and yeUajtfEsk down calmly and carelessly, without even an attempt to prepare ourselves for future emergencies How long will the people of Vincennes neglect their own safety and interest ? vtndalia, December 20. This day both houses of our Legislature convened in the hall of the house of representatives for the purpose of electing an Attorney General. and state Treasurer; and upon counting the ballots for Attorney General, George Forquer, having received a majority of all the votes, was declared duly elected. James Hall, was re-elected Treasurer without opposition. From the Missouri Intelligencer, Nov. 14. Cantonment Leavenworth, Nov. 4, 1828. Sir I have just returned from a visit to the Indians within my agency on the Upper Missouri, where I learned that the Grand Pawnees and Pawnee Loups, consisting of 15 hundred warriors, have gone, en masse, on a war excursion against the whites. Their attention will be directed principally to the Santa Fo Road, where they expect to obtain the most plunder. Should they fail to gratify their rapacity there, they will doubtless fall on the frontier settlements on Arkansas and Red river, having declared their determination to scalp all white men with whom they may meet without exception. If you consider this information of any importance to the merchants from your section of the country who travel the United States road to New Mexico, please to communicate it through the medium of your paper, and oblige your obedient servant, J DOUGHERTY, ;j Agent, Nathaniel Patten, Esq Editor Missouri Intelligencer. From the Philadelphia Ga2cttc. Latent from Eurofie A letter from Hamburgh of the 25th of October, received by a ' gentleman of this city, says "This morning a courier arrived, bringing the news that the army of the grand vizier sent to relieve Choumla, has been beaten by the Russians, and that Varna capitulated on the 1 lth' of October. The letter was received by the Ruth and Mary, which arrived at this port yesterday, from Hamburgh. It will be recollected that many of our journalists have, according to the practice of forming positive opinions when evidence is contradictory or deficient, represented the cam "paign as at an end. We doubt if the plan of the campaign is developed. MEXICO By the Eliia, at Philadelphia from Vera Cruz, a proclamation of the president" of Mexico, under date of 5th October, hasbeen received In this document the prescient declares that information from Europe, tjpth publit tmd private, has been receive

that Spain i preparing an expedition to recover the territory oi Mexico that a considerable force is already stationed in Havana, awaiting the arrival ot other to carry this design into operation and that their views will no doubt be furthered by the internal commotion which at this time exists in the provinces. He further states thu he lias no apprehension of the result, if the people will unite agiinst the common loe. That Spain calculates upon powcrlul assistance trom the disaffected of the country, but lie hopes that union will be restored, and that Mexico may find the expedition to end in smoke. Buenos Ayres The schooner Rehoboth, Orne, at New York from Buenos Ay res direct, brings advices (o the 7ih October. The Commercial states that great preparations were making at Buenos Ayres to celebrate the pece, and various fetes were spoken oft. The commissioners who arrivcri with the news and treat) of peace, were received with loud and enthusiastic vivas by the people 1 here had been considerable suffering in Buenos Ayres, owing to the scarcity of meat in the market, which the government had taken measures to remedy A French frigate arrived at Buenos Ayres on the first October, with a consul horn the Biazilian government. Destructive fire at Wheeling, Va. We have conversed with a gentkman who has arrived in this city, from Harper's Ferry, who states, that among the stage passengers with whom he travelled yesterday, he leait that a very destructive and extensive fi c had broke cut at Wheeling, just before thry left, which had destroyed upwards of 30 houses, among which were 7 stores, and that 20 horses had been burnt in one stable. Daily Chron. ITEMS In one ot the late Turkish bulletins, after describing the success of the Turks in one of their sorties, the bulletin adds, 44 The infdels on their part, displayed a most vaknous resistance, but the bravery of the Mr.sslcmcns triumphed notw ithstanding. John McC:nne, has been elected to the Senate of the U'lited States, from Illinois, for the term of yors, from and after the 4th day cf March, in the place ol Je-.se B. i homas, whnso u rtii ol service then expires. Jacob Burnett, has been elected to the Senate of the United Sta'.es, fiom the Mate of Ohio, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of t;en Wm H Harrison The administration of Indian afl'aits is a bout to uiulcrgo a salutary reform. Governors Clark and Cass are directed by the secretary of war to prepare a report on the subject, to be submitted to congress Ft cm their intelligence and experience on matters Connected with the subject, a valuable and able public document may be anticipated A letter fiom Washington to the Editors of the New York E ening Post, says that Mr. Adams has rented com. Porter's house From this we p.esumc that Mr A. means to reside, a'ter his term is out. in the District) and not return to New England. The New York American states that " it is rumored that general Scott has been notified by the war department, that, unless he consents to obey the orders of general Ma tomb, he will be dismissed the service." Gen. Lafayette. The rumor which got into the newspapers, that general Lafayette intended re visiting our country very shortly, seems to be without foundation. We understand, says the Richmond Compilcr, that Mr. James Barbour, our minister to London, has instructed the superintendent of his farm to sow as much wheat as possible, in consequence of the state and prospects of the market in England Toads It is stated that Toads will effectually expel rats from a cellar or house; and the master of a ship informs, that he has entirely cleared his vessel of those troublesomo animals by placing two Toads in the hold. :o S Of MARRIED On Sunday evening the 14th inst. by the Revd A Davis Dr Wm Din widdie, to Miss Martha E Burnside, both of Btuceville, Kn-.x count. la On Thutsdav the '8th instant, hy Robert Springer, E q.
