It is pretty well ascertained that the Indians in East Florida are now disposed for peace, and that it only remains to break up the horde which frequent the road between this and Georgia., and which we under eland has never attached itself to any party, but continued plundering the ►hort interval of peace which took place after the late British war, to put a termination to our trouble with the savages in this quarter.

As we have already announced, it appears that the Ministers will submit a complete law oo the Press to the diseusaioo of the Chambers.

What iudred can he more offensive to an upright Judge t,r a patriotic orator than to reed his apology traced by the pen of a libeller ! Their noble souls must feel indtgliant at such praise; they would a thousand times sooner be the object of calumny.

A dreadful accident has occurred at Perpignan. On the 27th of October lightning struck the Mira. don, a small fort iu the garrison, and set• fire to the magazine, which exploded.

The Austrian troops that were on the march have suddenly received orders to halt where they .re, and for the present to go into cantonments. It is not known what has caused this order. M. Von Kirsch:ll, an officer of the Austrian staff, who was at Aix-lu-Chapelle with the Duke of Wellington, hors arrived at the head-quarter•. It is said he has brought particular orders respecting the es*. coition. It is said the Prefects of the two Rhine Depart ments had espressed to the Austrian Commander. in-Chief their wish that the troops might go into their barracks agaiu till the time when they are to evacuate the country. But General Frimont, we hear, has declined this, which seems to indicate that the suspension of the march will not be of long duration. It is reported that General Frimont, before he lets the troops continue their march, will wait fur positive instructions respecting their destination.

The Duchess of GLioucurrn and the Princess AUGUsTA, attended by General T►YL.oa, walked iu Kew Gardens on Wednesday and yesterday. The PRINCE REGENT arrived at Kew Palace shout half-past five o'clock. His Royal Highness dined with his Royal Sisters, and remained in at tendance on the QUEEN till a late hour. The publication of the newspapers was suspended iu Paris on Monday, on account of the solemnity with which " All Saints Day" is observed. In the mean time the arrival of a Flanders Mail has brought to hand a variety of foteign intelligence. The Eunperorof Russ: A passed through Liege ou the 31st last, in his way to Aix-lasehapelle. Accounts from the frontiers of Alsace state, that the march of the. Austrian troops homewards was suddenly inter rowed, and that the troops rcetived orders to go I again into cantvo.nzents. if the account be true we i may be assured that the interruption oat not be of long duratien. New York Papers to the I Itb , with Baltimore and Boston Papers to the gth of last month, have arrived at our Office. The effects of the measures framed in the last Session of Congress against Bri tisk commerce, and of the regulatious interdicting the admission of British vessels from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick into the harbours of the United States, are noticed in some of these Papers in terms of reprobation and sorrow. A pprehea pions seem to be entertained that the ear, ieridly proceedings of the Government of the Union, in stead of injeriog the navigation and commerce of this country, will recoil upon itself, and inflict a severe blow upon the trade of the United States. It is certain that within a very short time a co. - siderable depreciation has taken plaice in the Ame rican funds, and that the credit of the National Bank has been affected ; its notes were at a dis count of one per cent., and its shares, which at the coinniericeinent of the year were 152, had declined to 123fi. Trade b ad lust its accustomed activity, and many commercial failures were anticipated. The greater number of the private bankers' links were at a discount or fruits two to seven, and two of them were quoted at 30 per cent. discount. The Congress will meet, pursuant to adjournment, on the iiith of this month, and it is not improbable that the good sense and interest or the Members will triumph over their feelings of jealousy aid haired to this iwuutry , and induce the repeal of an unpopular, pernicious, and foolish measure. The United States have not yet advanced sufficiently far in the career of wealth and power, as to saw lice with indifference a large portion of their own commercial advantages, for the purpose of depriving England of a comparatively smell share of her profits. We shall' look forward to the meeting of Cona grew with a . lively interest, not on this account only. bat latcesaelve may presume that no time will be lost in requiring from the Government an explana tion of General Jacxeox's unprincipled invasion of a friendly territory, and of the wanton murder he committed upon two unoffending subjects of Great Britain. We shall then see whether this 1.
