I 'doubt not but they will commit some depredation at a period not very dis. tint, notwithstanding every Pnblic exertion is wade, and will be enforced, to suppress their presentoppo s tion to the completion of the survey: The mur derers of Johnson and M'Gaskey have not been dis covered, but steps are ordered to be taken as will doubtless ensure their apprehension. Reconnoitring parties will be kept out, with instruction? to treat as enemies every party of Indians found on the ceded territory, after allowing those who are not provided for by the treaty of Fort Jackson, but still remain within the United States' limits, a reasonable time to remove. For the moment this will create eon). motion, but there is sufficient force to crush any In dian tribe. Should the murderers of Johnson and McGaskey have taken refuge in Pensacola, they will be formally demanded ; and if refused, I hope the Government will take such steps as to have them forthcoming. .. Tire eotnmiesioners have, as far as practicable, completed the boundary line between the United Stites and the Creek Nation. The Government will have to treat with the Chocktews, Cherokees, aad Chickasaws, before any thing more can be done t hose tribes object to the limits as defined by the, treaty of Fort Jackson. cc You have doubtless, ere this, seen the treaty as concluded by the Deputation of the Cherokees, sub. jest to the ratification of the gation—there is no doubt of its being sanctioned. Comparing tho se limits cr boundaries with the treaty of Fort Jackson, we lose an immense valuable track of country. .1 , There will be a strong work erected on the E sc agg a , near the line of demarkation with Spain, . • -- which it is to be hoped will prevent the present inter course with s our sed.brethren." Several detkisitions of Atnericans have been pub lished, compladninp of the boarding and searching of American vessels at Amherstburg.

" The manner in which this service has been performed. hag had no tendency to diminish the effat which the character of such transaction is calculated to prod.tce.

" In an aggression like this, the Government of the United States can alone determine what course the honour and intgeest of the nation requ're should be taken. " But until their decision shall be made upon the subjict, it becomes my duty to remonstrate against a practice for which the laws of nations afford no pretence, which Is inconsistent with the relations existing between our respective Governments, and the cmainuance of whicii must be attended with serious and hue portant•consequent. es. .

The lightning struck buildings in several places: at Nieder-Itheansberg, a farmhouse, wit► all the out-buildings, :30t) sheep, and several cattle, were burnt.—The unfavourable weather for the corn (not any scarcity), has caused a very great rise in use prices of grain.

PARIS, JULY 26. gimmmiffm.ati.• • PRIVATE LETTER. " Sit Robert Wilson and Mr. Bruce left Paris yes. terday for England. It had been understood that the depatture of these Gentlemen was not to take place White cod of this week, and that they were to travel with the usual passports from our Ambassador, a point which I believe had been clearly agreed on between M. de Richelieu anti Sir Charles Stuart The Minister of Police, however, whether from igno rance of this arrangement, or from a wish to give these Gentlemen a last proof of his good will towards them, directed passports to be sent to all three of them, with a notification to quit Paris in three days. These passports were communicated to Sir Robert Wilson and M. Bruce on Tuesday night, and another was meant to have been given to Captain Hutchin son, who, however, had left Paris early in the morn ing of that day, with a passport of the British Mini ster, countersigned in the usual way by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Prefect of Police. Sir Robert Wilson and M. Bruce declined receiving these "passports,* and returned them to M. de Cazes, with tatters* stating the arrangement by which they bad understood they were to travel with British passports. 66 • These Gentlemen also informed Sir Charles Stuart of the circumstance., and with a full intention .of not deferring their departure beyond this week, awaited the result of this step. Previously, however, to receiving an answer from the British Minister, they each of them received, on Thursday morning, at atiout ten o'clock, a visit from a Commissary of Poker, attended by a Captain of gendarmerie, who informed them that they had orders to see them into , their carriage, and out of Paris, by two o'clock on that day, for which purpose post-horses were to be sent in time; and that, furthermore, they were not to lose sight of them until then. They stated that they hid no written orders, but acted upon verbal instruc-• tions from the Minister. Sir Charles Stuart was im mediately apprised of this unexpected circumstance, and wrote to the Due de Richelieu for an explana tion, sending at the same time his own passports (or 'the usual countersign. The Duke being engaged in ' conference, observed, that he would send an answer. It was to be feared that this explanation could not take place previous to the hour at which the officers had stated that they must peremptorily execute their orders, each of them having gendarmes at band if force had been necessary. An application was there• fore made to the Prefect and Minister of Police, for a suspension of the order until the explanation could be obtained. This was granted until six o'clock, and the order for that purpose arrived just in time to pre vent the intended departure. se Before six, further communication took place with the Ministers of Police and Foreign Affairs, in consequence of which an order was at length obtained for the removal of the restraints put upon these Gen tlemen, and which order, like the former, at rived just as the hour was expiring. The Minister of Police &dared he had net intended that any restraint should be pit upon, those Gentlemen previous to their de p.ature, although the effect of his orders was to keit) useni iirisouer, in their apartment until . the moment of the,r dep.irtu.e. They set out at length with Bri tish passports ia the usual form, not wren specifying the route, much less the time in which they were ex, pectsd leave the country. " No intelligence has yet atrivcd of the execution of Mouton Duvernet, the General who, having pass- ports and every other means necessary for escaping abroad, delivered himself up to the Royal Govern ment, rater than quit bis country ; but an 'article which appeared yesterJay in the papers, tending much to criminate him, and consequently to justify Govern. meat, strongly forebodes that fatal event. 64 At Naples, they order thi.se matters otherwise. A General Francischetti, who had siAnaliz2ll himse:i by his devotion to Murat, having followed him in his last expedition; had since escaped the pursuit of jits. cite by taking refuge in the mountains of Cal4tni.i. He was living there forgotten by Government, when, weary of this wandering life, and perhaps touched with a feel'ng of repentance, he determined upon throwing himself upon the generosity of Government % and accordingly surrendered into the hands ni the Authorities of Cozerma. A teport on -the subject was immediately made to Government, anJ a Coun cil, presided by M. de St. Clair, the Minister of War; and actuated by the spirit of the French Ulttas, de. cided that he should be brought to trial, and made to suffer the fate of his fallen leader. is This decision being laid before the King, his Ma. jesty, with his own hand; added the following minute to it:—' The guilty' who gives . himself to the law, confide, it the mercy, not in the justice of the Prince. There is no room for his trial. Let him retire. into Sicily.' So grateful was this act of clemency to the public, that on his Majesty's appeariug shortly after .. at the Theatre des Flore nt i n i , h e was bailed fly mt. usual acclamations of joy," A French Paper gives the substance of an (Mi. nance issued by the Prefect of Paris concerning the use of copper vessels and netosils, the reservo i rs of wane sellers, and the scales of dealers in salt and t , bacco. Some of the regulations deserve attention in this coun try, though they are more applizable to the modes of living and cookery of Paris.

Tn the third place, some dissatisfaction L • manifested itself at the Bank for some days past, ~ • the opening of an account with Commisiioners atn,,f in the Act passed at the close of the last session s of Parliament for transferring all sums of Stock in the Public Funds, on which no interest has been de. mantled for ten years, together with the dividends due thereon. It was generally understood that the amount of the dividends, which is considerable, Would be invested in stock for the benefit of the Proprietors ; but owing to the great deficiency in the Revenue, the Ctraucauma of the Excurousn has, we understand, given directions to the Bank to carry all such stuns to the credit of the Commissioners, and intends to ap. propriate the whole to the service of the current year, to cover the falling off in the Revenue. Our Readers will perceive, from the List of Sob. scribers to the Benevolent Fund for the Relief of the Labouring Poor, that humanity is as much alive as ever in this highly favoured Empire.—lndividuals, whose circumstances will not admit of their subsctib. ing, may nevertheless aid the good cause by giving employment to as many Labourers as they possibly can. A plan of this kind has been adopted by the Market Gardeners to the Westward ti the Metropolis, which is highly praise.worthy, and we mention it that it may excite imitatii n. The late inclement weather prevented them f:o7n employing in their grounds, or in carrying the produce to market, the great numbers of labouring poor, chiefly females, who annually visit them from distant counties. —Many of these industrious creatnres must have starved or taken to vicious courses, if their case had not been taken into consideration. It was therefore agreed, that such employment as,there was in the grounds should be equally divided among them, acid that they should work only on alternate days. TI .e private families in the neighbourhcod cooperated in this plan, by giving household work in the inter 'e. diate days to such as were then unemployed. The plan has succeeded perfectly, and now that the season has become rather more favourable, the individuals in question are 'no longer burdensome to the neigh. bourhood, for they have resumed their usual employ. ments in the fields. Much might aho be done, we apprehend, tc, give preient employment to the Poor, and produce an abundance of food during the ensuing winter, if landed Proprietors, great and small, from the over grown possessor of thousands of acres, down to the owner of a mt.te cabbage-garden, would sedulously cultivate every patch of ground, now waste or useless. Cabbages, turnips, carrots, and potatoes, for the ma ter, ought to be planked on such spots, and if an in ch:meta tinter should sti.:ceed, an ample fund of Philanthropy and benevolence will be provided at a small CNI)C11:. - , for plautcr has only to make pre b'etits of the pioduce to the poor around l.im, au/ one shilling thus expended now will be worth potinas in winter, in addition to the reflection, chit he Ilas laid up treasures in a place g where thieves du not break in and steal," and which no vicissituks i;t season can reach.
