!ill TIIE . INDIfiN CltiEr. fxtract of a lettcr from a gcilticnian at Portsmouth to his friend in London : ' Having seen by the newspapers that the [Tenn Chief, George Perryman, the tan of Hopey Mico, evhem I knew is tl.c Floridas, was on board the Semi ramis, in this harbrur, I was induced to go to see him yesterday, and, 43 yon may suppose, he was letpm to fleet an ecquaintance ; one to whom he conceived he vight speak in ceulidence, as it appears to him that tltse who prevent him Born ceding- artitoro are in the interest of his enemies. Perryman informs me, that he if ordered to return without delay to his own country, and is not allowed to land in this ; lie asked me some questicne, which . I really felt at a loss how to evade, Tamely, What shall I tell the Indians on my return, 11Vhan they ask me, why would not your great fitther and king allow you to hind on this ground ? And did you not say, wben you asked us to go to %val., that you would always aseist us if the Americans should attempt tu take our lands? They have now made that attempt, they made it soon after you left os, without any pro w cation on our part, and I ran sent to England to re mind yen of your premise.' This is the substance, and rowdy the weeds of his complaint, to which, of course, I cows give no answer. He then went on to state, slew the Americans am not disposed to come to any terms with them, until they are driven the other side ei the Mississippi. The cltiefe, Francis and John, he reye, were both decoyed to a vessel under EnOish co hurs, aid immediately hanged. Arminister he states to lave had but little to do with the Indians ; and Arbuth islet was put to death for having given the Indians in formation that their enemies were coming upon them, sal :hereby preventing a surprise. `• I wee sorry to find this man so much neglected ; ke appears even to be in want of warm clothes, having netieng Lut his native dress ; he told me, however, taut he wee in expectation of some en the day 1 saw him ; it would surely te advisable at least to pay him some personal attention—one who was so intelligent used useful to our troops, and who has succeeded (though nut to the dignity of Micas) to ali the authority of his father, and, no doubt, from his obilit'es, to much mere. 1-14 father died noon after' left the Floridas, aril his elder brother, who succeeded him was lately killed in battle. Hambley, shamefully betrayed them, and Inncrarity and Doyle are still their most determined enemies. Mappichimico-kenadgee is General in Chief. The attack on the Bluff contiautd nine days. when the meetizine blew up The Blacks behaved nobly. Gene ral Gaines has established himself at the Forks of the ' The Confiance, Capt. A. Nlontgoraerie, railed from Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon fir the Jamaica statien. Perryman, the Indian Chief (who arrived in the Semiramis), is returned home in her. We under stand he was supplied with tvhat money he requested to have (a trifling sum), three suits of clo hot, and tno chests of nods for his brother. This was the extent of his demand ; but he departed very angrily, because he Wl{ not suffered to land in England. He was removed from the Semiramis previously to her being paid oft; to the Conliance. IVednesday a Court of Directors was bell at the East India House, when the following ships were taken tip and stationed, in addition to those already engaged for t+e Company's service, viz.—For Bombay and China ---Vansittart, Capt.

Captain Borradaile was sworn into the command of the ship Inglis, fbr Bombay and China. 3. Kingston, Lep Co • ptroller of Stamps, is appointed a C4retnis,ient rof the Board, vacant by the death of Pl r . Biedley ; we have net heard the name of the new Comptroller. A Privy Connell was held nt Pal lin Castle on Sa• turday last, when Mr Charles (;rant was sworn i n t o cifice as Chief Secretary fur Ireland. The Lord Lica tenant presided, and after the 1‘ remony was performed, Mr. Grant took his seat at the Board.

DISCOVERY.—On Tuesday last Mr. Mnrkland, the Magistrate of CZ:leen Square Police Office, Watt revested by a ge:itleatitn to attend on an olicer's widow residing at Bethnal-green, at any con venient time, fur the inirpose of administering an oath. and signing an affidavit, authorising her to receive her husbar.i:s pension. the lady beim; bed-ridden and• un able to attend herself. Mr Marivland accortY.ngly re paired to the lady's dwelling on Thursday morning last, and after performing his necessary duties, in the course of ecnivcestior,„ trora various eireurastan ces, discovered that s'.:e nits hid Rant, and instead of being a Captain's widow, she was the widow of at: Admiral. ONioNs.—The rie and fall t•F this valuable vegeta ble has been almost as rapid as the rise and full of mo dern empires. A Kentiih horticulturist, in the early part of the seasoe, sold the produce of twenty acres fur more than twenty thottiawd Fo7f :ids. This article was thea worth twenty fire shillings per bushel ; but at Reading fair, lust week, they were purchased wholesale for less than five shillings ; so that onioas, contrary to the usual custom. brought tears in the eyes of the yen dur, rather than the buytr. The revenue is so rapidly improving, tho.t tliere will be no necessity for funding or rating any loan fur the service of the ensuing year. Thirty-fire prisoners have been cepi'ally convicted during the present Sessions, cons,:quently they await jadgment of death, which will be passed on aim') at the termination ef the Se.ssiuna, which is likely to take place on 'Wednesday neat : —forgery, 13 ; burglary, 4; housebreaking, 2 ; stealing in dwelling-houses, ; horre-stealing, 3 ; sheep--stealing, '2 ; stealing privately, 4.—Total 35.

On Thursday the Ship Owners of Great Britain had their anniversary dinner at the city of London Tavern, which was numerously attended by the rrincipal ship owners of the port of Loudon. John Wm. Buckle, Esq. was in the chair. Some excellent glees and fa vourite songs were giver, by Messrs. Lt...ete, Taylor, Tyrrell, and King. A canal from Paris to Dieppe, which is of no small interest to the commercial intercourse of Englund with France, has been undertaken by a company of rich capitalists. Their project is now under consi,leratim in the Bureaux of the Minister of the Interior. It is to be terminated by PM. blenders mail has arrived, from which it appears, that the fellow who attempted to assassinate Mr. Cock rell has saved the law the trouble of his death, by hanging himself By a careful examination of the returns of Members to the house of Commons, as publishe I in the Gazette, we find that the number of new members amounts to one hundred and ninety-three, form;ng nearly a third of the House.—At the election in 1812, there were 12 new Members. Among the extraordinary rumours now afloat on the Continent, it is said that Russia is to be divided into three parts, the North, West, and South, over which Alexan&lerwill place his three brothers, with the title of Kings, while he remains supreme head of the wl ole. The vast extent of the Russian Emp'r has suggeAted this idea, and there is probably no other ground for the speculation.
