The Adventure packet from New-York and Ha lifax, the arrival of which we mentioned yesterday, bas brought us files of American Papers of recent dates. Those from New-York are to the 9th, from Boston to the 4th, and from Halifax to the 17th ult. They enable us to communicate nothing satisfactory on the subject of our disputes with America. The Pre sident is said •to have decided upon cancelling the bonds granted by the importers of British .goode— this would be an auspitious omen if we weie unac quainted with this man's true character, but unhap. pily for mankind, there is a Corsican twist in his mo rals, which renders us suspicious of every act of grace which he bestows. A little temporary popularity, tiatil his election is secured, is all that he aims at by this relaxation. The Indians are every where in mo tion against the Americans, and are nearly as trouble some as the Cossacks are to the French. We ari glad to learn from the American Newspapers, that _ oar gallant countryman, General Baocx, is upon the . alert.

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. el Th• Secretary of the Treasury returned US this City on Thursday evening. K The Secretary of State is expected in this city today. " The following extract of a letter from a respec. table source in St. Louis, Missouri territory, exhibits a most distressing picture of the dangers to which the inhabitants of our Western Frontier are exposed, in consequence of the fall of Detroit. The fact . of the horrible massacre of the garrison of. Chicago our Readers will recollect has been already announced : Fort Chicago, on the Illinois, was evacuated on the 15th of last month, and the officers and soldiers put toviesth one mile from the place. Three women and nine children were among the slain; the credu. lout Captain Wells (Indian Agent) had his breast cqt open and his heart roasted and eaten by the chicfs _ present. Fort Madison (Bellevue) is now besieged by 400 Pottawatamies, hiekpoos and Sankey. The factory is burnt down ; by the garrison or Indians, we have not been able to learn which. The Indians have 200 warriors stationed on the Mississippi to protect the besieged party, and upwards of 500 more in small parties, harrassing our frontier. The enemy expect a reinforcement of 1200 Sioux, Sacs, and Foxes, with 140 Winnebagoes, to break into our settlement. These •avagcs are rendered bold, and are more than them pelves by success. We have but 17 regular troops at Belle Fontaine, and our settleinents are so remote from one another, that. you will no doubt bear of the sumt heroic eaastaplLs of bravery from this quarter, as we are determined pot to lose an inch of ground as long as life lases or powder or lead'can be had. This monumt a' spy has come in ; he observed a num ber of wounded Indians carried from before Fort Bellevue; SOO :Indians have gone to Vincennes set tlement and besieged Fort Harrison."

Delegates in several leading counties in the State I of Pennsylvania have nominated De Witt Clinton for the next President.—His election will be powerfully supported in that State. In Virginia, also, partial nominations have been made in his favour. It is said, with a very considerable degree of assurance, that the legislature of North-Carolina, just elected, contains a decided peace majority." " NEW-YORK, OCTOBER 3., 1 [Communicated for the Register.] eg We have just received the disagreeable intelli gence that Captain Williams, of the Marine Corps, with about twenty of his men, whilst escorting some waggons from Camp to St. John's river, for provi sions, were attacked by a party of Indians, and after a severe conflict was obliged to retreat, with the loss of his waggons and horses, and one man killed and seven wounded. Captain Williams himself had I-seven ball wounds, three through his hand, and is sot eipected to live. This is the excellent officer who commanded at Amelia for two months after the Ame ricas' took possession of the island, and to whom the inhabitants most gratefully acknowledge their ob ligations for his gentlemanly conduct : his great ex ertions in preserving the peace of Fernandino, and the protection of their persons and property from the fury of the insurgents." FROM THE NEW YORE PAPER OP THE BTII OCTOBER. Extract of a letter from Luettel's Harbour, Sep tember 22 : " Last evening an engagement took place between our troops in this quarter and the British, in which we took 40 prisoners and 70 stand of arms, and four barrels of powder." Another Gottenburgh Mail arrived last night. The intelligence brought by it is dated on the 27th ult. from St. Petersburgh, and on the 12th inst. from Gottenburgh. The accounts from both places are equally cheering :—the French abandoned Moscow with such precipitation, that 15,000 sick and wounded French soldiers were left in the hospitals, or rather amid the miserable ruins of Moscow, exposed to all the inclemencies of the season. But the loss ' , which BONAPARTE will probably feel most of all is that of the military chest of MURAT'S division, which con tained four millions of francs. General KUTUSOFF'S late reinforcements hare increased his army to the amount of 200,000 men, and the whole of the Pea. santry between Moscow and Poland are in arms.-.-- BONAPARTE'S line of retreat is not yet known, but as from every thing we can learn, his army is not in a condition to risque another battle, he will moot pro babiy snake for Poland, after takinga SI few moments repose" at Kalouga and Tula—places situated greatly to the eastward of the present Russian line of positions. The Russian General,WriuvasTm, is said to have advanced from Polotsk to Witepsk—a , movement which still farther removes the possibility of BoNAPARTE's escape by the route which he origi. nally took towards Moscow. In this case, the Duke of Bauxuo (Vicroa), with the reserve, who accord ing to the last accounts was advancing from Smo lensk upon Moscow, must inevitably fall into a trots de rat. The above Mail also contains a report that as Amiga Mean Confederation has suddenly arisen in re. land, with the avowed object of supporting Russia in her struggle for independence, What a glorious pro. spect would such an event afford for Europe For such a regeneration the Poles might indeed havb oc. casion to rejoice, The approach of the Russian Cos.' sacks towards Warsaw gives an air of probability to , the rumour. In the absence of the Marquis of WILLLINGTOVS I regular dispatches, the following may be regarded as a demi-official statement of the present positions of the Allied agmies in the Peninsula : “ The British army was moving front Burgos towards Valhi dolid, closely followed by the French under Somtat, when, on the 234 tilt. there was a very severe affair in the neighbourhood of Torquemada, in which the cavalry of the two armies were principally engaged. The contest lasted a considerable tune, with various success. At length she French pressing forward, came Into contact with the two German light battalions of infantry, and suffered greatly. The reports at Corunna raised the loss of the enemy to lot lambast 3000 men, and that of the Alike in proportion ; but this was, undoubtedly, a great exaggeration. " The object of the Fund% is probably to recover the capital To this they attach much political importance ; and it is not im: probable, that they may even push a corps by the way of Aranda de Douro, with the hope of seizing Madrid, whilst the Marquis of Waxen:63.os is occupied with their main body oa the Val ladolid road. Should they, however, make this attempt, they will enepunter no small difficulties in its prosecution, from the state of the Douro, which is swelled by the rains, and front their having thesnielves destroyed most of the bridges on the line of their former retreat. 44 The principal French prudes are calculated as follows :•-• SOULT'S corps is estimated at 45,020 ; JOStPit'S at 19,000 ; and finentes at 15,000: and it is conjectured, that there may be of these different bodies, 50,000 disposable under SOULT, who is advancing on the Tagus. " The army under SOUDAW certainly amounts to at least 35,000 effective fighting men, of whom 2000 are cavalry. Medi surprise has been occasioned at Massetta's not having joined and taken the command of this army, as he was known to be on the frontiers a long while ago. • "The British army is said to be thus distributed :—The lets sth, 6th, and 7th divisions are with the Marquis of Ws slant- TON, amounting, with the cavalry, to 18,000 men. His Lord ship hap also PACK'S and BRAMYORD'S Portuguese Brigades, and some Spanish troops. All the Eritish cavalry are with the Mar quis of WiLLINOTON, except one brigade of English dragoons (the 13th regiment and some others), the German Hussars, and General Semos's heavy brigette, and a Portuguese brigade, alto gether amounting to 2,0e0, who are with Sir ROWLAND HILL. " The 4th English division is at Madrid, with Don Ceases D'Esrantes Spanish division. The 2d and 3d fight, and Sua sive, division, with 2000 cavalry, making altogether,shout 20,000 effective British, are with Sir RowLAND This., with whom there is also a large corps of Portuguese, and 5000 Spa niards who accompanied Colonel SKIRRITT from Seville. " The 91st regiment had reached -Benavente, on their way , from Corona, to join the Marquis of Wacsanteron, when thtl approach of the French obliged them to fall bask on Corunns i , whence they proceeded with two other regiments by sea to Lisbon. " It is proper to add, that when the last &deices left Cayenne, there were reports, said to have been brought to that port by an Aide-de-Camp of General Hesse's, that the Marquis of Wax.- •LINGTOSI bad formed a junction, on the Ist instant, at Madrid, with Sir ROWLAND Hut.. There were also rumours of Sir ROWLAND'S barter beaten Sooty; but upon neither of these statements can we place any very confident relia ace. We con done, therefore, to look with the greatest anxiety for the arrival of dispatches from the Marquis of Wacciotrron himself, which will, doubtless, announce those measures, which the new and difficult circumstances of the campaign bve obliged him to adopt4l Should he be compelled, by the scantiness of ills means, to as sume a defensive posture, 'we may be at surd, that his plans will be laid with the same extensive foresight, and canted into Ogee with the same commanding energy, wbkii have consigned the campaign of 1810 to immortal et kbrity. • “ We are happy to conclude our view of the affairs of the Po., ninsula, with she statement of an exploit most honourable to the joint exertions of our Allies, and of our naval force in that quarter. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Admirahy, from Sir EDWASD PSLLILW, in the Mediterranean, inch:wing a detail of the recent operations on the coast of Catalonta ; to the course of which, the Baron D'Eaoiss, with the troops under his orders, in conjuuction with the seamen and marines of the men of war, directed by Captain CODIINOTON, of the Biwa; made an attack oss Tarragona, and succeeded in obtaining complete possession of it. The loss in this affair bas not been so conside rable as might have been expected." It may be proper to add here, that the reports at - C-nrunna, alluded to above, as not deserving any con fidence, may be considered as altogether groundless. The C.orTunna papers of the 9th and 10th, and one of the 11th inst. announces the entrance of the Marquis of WILLINGTON into Madrid, and also the entrance of four or five thousand French prisoners, but the, Conmsa Diary of the 11th, alluding as we think to these statements, states, thg the whole was as impu. dent fabrication, and that the writerhad been imposed Won* • EXTRACTS FROM THE CORUNNA PAP/RS.
