Our in formant travelled part nt the distance between the Ouachitta and Arkansas Rivers with a large party, going on to join the confederate troops. They had about six field p'eces, with several whites and halt breeds, who learned the use of artillery under General Jackson, last war. They said they were informed that the Osage. bad built torts, to which they intended to re:tea• after the general battle, which it is thought will be fought near Earhart's works on the Arkansas, on that cluster of streams catied the Six-Bulls, and above the boun dary line lately run between the interior counties of this territory aud the Osages country. The Osages are aware of the intended attack, 'but cannot believe they will be met by such a formi dable force. As they always fight the pitched battles on horseback, it is probable they will be defeated in that broken count: y which they have ch.:seu for the combat." SEA ISLAND COTTON. A letter from an intelligent Planter on Edisto Island to his friend in Charleston, under date of Ow 27th of August, gives the following melancholy ac count of the failure of the cotton crops nn that Island: •• As far as my knowledge extends, crops were never known to be so inferior, and I feel no hesitation in stating, that the united crops on Edisto, will not ave rage 7.51b5. t.f c-t ton per acre, nor will this appear sur prising .fter the tremendous and unexampled rains we daily exptrirnee. You may form some idea of the Crap, when you are acquainted with the fact, that it rained here severely 14 days in June, '2O in July, and 17 days up to this date in August." It is stated in other lettyrs hum the same island, that there have been but three dry Jays in more than two months.— ladian corn, says she Caps Fear Recorder, has fallen within the week past, from a dollar and three quar ters to a dollar per bushel; and bacon from 22 to IC cents per pound.

In this sitting it was announced, that his Majesty had selected born the dace Memb:rs proposed to him Mr. VanWickevoort Cummelin, to be President for the present Session. Mr. Meat/310:0E, laying down his functions as Pre sident, paid a handsome compliment to his successor, 'and thanked the Assembly fair the support which be had constantly received in the exercise of his duty, mut invited his successor to take the chair. The new President accordingly took the char, and addressed the Assembly in a short and appro. priAte speech. SMUG ow 24111 OCTOBER. The Assembly was occupied with some matters relative to its own internal Constitution, after which the President of the Committee appointed to consider of an Address to his Majesty, in answer to his Speech on opening the Session, announced, that the COM 1117tt,!e was ready to bring up its report. On the proposal of Mr. Membrede, it was resolved to hear and discuss this report in a select Committee of the whole Assembly. Messrs. GONBBAU DE BERGEY= and RAOUN. Mem ' bets of the Council of State, brought up in the King's name the project of a law, subjecting to certain penalties, through the whole extent of the kingdom, those persons, independent of the military jurisdiction, who should be guilty of the crime of favouring de sertion ; and they developed the motives for this law. The Sitting was adjourned till Tuesday. The Cham• her then formed itself into a Secret Committee to hear the Report of the Address. SITTING OF OCTOBER 28. In this Sitting a Message was brought from his Istajoity, introducing the project of a law respecting the Trade to the Levant and the Mediterranean. Some other notices brought by these Mails we subjoin : PETERSBURGII, OCTOBER R. The General of Cavalry, Count Witgenitein, is arrived here horn Riga. The anniversary of the Colonation of his Majesty was celebrated on the 27th September. On that day there was erected at Riga, at the expense of the merchants, a monument in commemoration of the victories of the Russian ar mies. It is 48 feet high—a column of Granite of one single block 23 feet high, bears the bronze statue of Victory nine feet high. holding in one band a Irurel.wreath, and in the other a palm-branch. FRANKFORT, OCTOBER 21. In the course of next week we expect all the Mi nisters of the Diet. ,The first object of the delibera tions will be the military organization of the Ger man Confederation, in order that this most important object may be decided before the end of the year. The anniversary of the gl:mious battle of Leipsic has not been celebrated every where in Germany ; in some States it seems it will be solemnized at the same time as the festival of the Reformation. The ex-King of Sweden is Preparing to leave Hanau, where he has resided for some time, in order, it is said, to 6z his abode in a city in the North of Germany. The Germanic Diet is expected very shortly to re sume its Sittings, and among the matters which it is said will earliest occupy its attention, is a sage pro poikion for establishing throughout all Ger.nany--a maximum trite far terovitims. On the absurdity and danger of any such regulation, it is unnecessary, in a country so well enlightened on matters of political economy a; this, to descant for a moment. If adopted, it will infallibly end in bringing famine on the people, to whom it is blindly expected to ensure all the blessings of never-failing plenty. The Germa nic Diet would do well, when they encourage such a proposition, to consider at the same time of the pro priety of determining the maximum and minimum ' , quantities of food which nature should be allowed to produce, and as subsidiary to any standard they might chum to impose on her, how much rain and how much sunshine ought to be tolerated within the juris diction of a Carman Potentate! What more absur dity can there be in fixing all these things, according to their own liking, than there is in fixing the matter of price, wilich depends so entirely upon them But we forget. Such can be no absurdity in Germany, where it was actually one of the obligations which its former Emperors took on receiving the Imperial Crown—to - procure their faithful subjects rain when. ever they required it. and as much as and no more than t h ey required CLAREMaNT.

' . CHINA. By a letter from Petersburgh of the Bth instant, account.; of rather a novel nature have been received respecting China. Hitherto it has been the invariable pulizy of the Gclutial Empire to avoid every kind of direct intercourse %% WI other independent Govan ments—ne:ther admitting nor spirding out resident Embassies r but now, it seems, this system of policy is about to undergo a great change, Embassies being desired at Pekin from foreign Powers, as is customary anvaig the European State.. The following is the ktter alluded to: PETERSBURGIT, OC MUER s. " The Russian Asiatic Company has acquainted " the Government, that its ships which last returned from China have brought the account that the Emperor of CIIINA wishes to see at his Court Am " bassadois from foreign Powers, on the same policy " as at the C 'tuts of Europe, in order to keep up " con.tant diplomatic relations with them." What can have produced se great a change in the policy of a Court and people who have ever boasted that none of the customs or practices of the C'el:ltial Empire could be altered ? The question is important, and, couli we discover the various consid mation , which must have operated to produce this miracle, we have no doubt whatever that it owes iti origin to circumstances rising out of or connected with the late visit of an Embassy from this country, the blundering lies by which the Emperor was imposed on by some of his courtiers, and the manner in which the proferred respectful gratulation' of the PRINCE REOENT of the British Empire, were rudely repulsed by a semi barbarian. We think it highly probable that some cif the essigirionr which followed this dismissal, have added a little to the light of the Sias of the celestial Empire, by opening his eyes to the necestity of behaving with more civility in future; that the Court of Pekin has made liven* better acquainted with the nature of European Diplomacy, and, in consequence means to try its powers of intrigue among the European States, by playing off the aims and desires of one against another, as a powerful means to prevent any particu lar Power from executing designs which the Chinese may have reason to think they have themselves pro- voked, against the Cetstial Empire. In one word, the consequences which may result from our late Embassy, and the rule way in which it was dismissed, cannot yet be calculated. The effects produced by the broadside of the Atcerrs, when fired on by the Chinese boats and forts, have no doubt been reported at Pekin, and have probably afforded some conviction that there may be danger in quarrelling with a people whose ships of war, with a single discharge, can kill 70 and ;Mil 40 men—the term they apply to those who are wounded. If we may believe our own eyes, the Corn Harvest of Great Britain has been bountiful in a high degree. It could not be expected that after a harvest so unfa vourable as that of list year, and the extremely fickle weather for gathering it into the barn, the memory of such a misfortune should be forgot, by this time ; or that the apprehension it was calculated to inspire, should be annulled. The consequence has beets, that not a few farmers, and these skilful farmers too, have cut their crops too green; and w e know that some have brought them out from the barn, into the sunshine. to dry them more effectually. This accounts for the different reports from the Corn Market : never were finer specimens seen than some sent up to Mark.lane, yet others have proved cold and moist. The Bulk, when brought to sale, has proved to be, as yet, imper fect tor the miller's use ; and must be kept a while 19hger ; it will recuver, but the buyer thinks it best i n the farmer's hands, a: yd. In the interim, the fine specimens being lacer reaped, are not ready for sale ; so that the best parcels fetch great prices, and are picked out by the judicious. Foreign Wheat, being in finer condition, feels the advantage,; and the de mand has been lively, as a matter of course. Things must continue in this state till the fair average qua_ lity of the crop can be brought before the purchasers, and then, we have every reason to hope that the pro duct will prove to be of infinite value to us at this time, and au irresistible cause of gratitude and thankfulness.
