By Order of the Board,. JOHN CHARLES DENHAM, Secretary.. September, 1828, INDIAN OUTRAGES. (From the National lutelllge►cer.) We the more regret to see the following, be. cause the reputation of Major O'FALLoN, for penetration and for an intirrnte acquaintance with the Indian character, gives great weight to his opinions : (From a Si. Louis Paper of July 23.) . Fort Atkinson, July 3, 1823. Dear Sir—How painful for me to tell, and you to hear, of the barbarity of the Indians. They continue to deceive and murder the most enterptizing of our people ; and, if we con tinue to forbear, if we do not discover a greater spirit of resent. ment, this river will be discoloured with our blood. This defeat of General Ashley by-the A'Rickarees, and de parture of the troops to his relief, had scarcely gone to you, when an express ;strived, announcing :the defeat by the Black foot Indians, near the Yellow Stone river, of the Missouri Fur Company's Yellow Stone or Mountain xpedition, command ed by Messrs. Jones and lmell, both of whom, with five of their men, are amongst the slain. All of their property, to the amount of about 15,000 dollars, fell into the hands of the enemy. To :Ida to General Ashley's catalogue of misfortunes, the Blackfoot Indians have recently defeated a party of 11, and killed four of Major Henry's, men, near his establishment at the mouth of the Yellow Stone river. The express goes on to state, " That many circumstances (of which I shall be appris ed in a few days) have transpired to induce a strong belief that the British traders (Hudson Bay Company) are exciting the Indians against us, either to drive us from that quarter, or reap with the Indians the fruits of our labour." I was in hopes that the British traders had some bounds to their rapacity. I was in hopes that, during the late Indian war, in which they were so instrumental in the indiscriminate massacre of our people, that they had become completely sa tiated with our blond ; but it appears not to have been the case. Like the greedy wolf, not yet gorged with the flesh, they guard over the bones—they ravage our fields, and are unwilling that we should glean them. Although barred by the treaty of Ghent from participating in our Indian trade, they presumed, and are not satisfied to do so, hut, becoming alarmed at the in. dividual enterprise of our people, they are exciting- the Indians against them. They furni s h them with the instruments of Bell, and a passport to Heaven—the instruments of death, and a passport to our bosoms. linnet had great experience of the Indian character, but. poor fellow, with a British passport they at last deceived him, and he fell a victim to his own credulity ; and his scalp, with those of his murdered comrades, are now bleeding on their way to some of the Hudson establishments. Another of tieneral Ashley's wounded men,is dead, making 15 men killed by the A'Rickarees, and II by the Blackfoot ; iii au, kiix.rn to have been killed by the Indiana within the last two or three -months, 20 effective men; and I estimate the amount of property actually lost in the conflicts at 20,000 dollars, besides a great number of horses, Sec. The Ottoes, Missouris, Omahas, and Penis, have been to see me already, and as usual profess great friendship, ; but, with the rest of the neighbouring tribes, are anxiously look ing and listening to know how we (the Americans) are going to get out of this scrape. I am still in bad health, and almost despair of recovering dur ing my stay here. I am this moment interrupted by the arrival of an express from the military expedition, with a letter from Mr. Pitcher, who, you know, is at the head of the Missouri Fur .Company, on this river, in which he says, " I . have but a moment to write. I met an express from the Mandans, bringing me very unplea sant news—the flower of my business Is gone. My moun taineers have'been.defeated, and the chiefs of the party both slain—the party were attacked by three or four hundred' Black foot Indians, in a position on the Yellow Stone river, Where nothing but defeat could be expected. Jones and Immell, and five men, were killed. The former, it is said, fought most des perately. Jones killed two Indiana, and in drawing his pistol to kill a third, he received two spears in his breast. Tunnel was in front; he killed one Indian, and was cut to pieces. I-think we lose at least 15,000 dollars. I will write you more fully be tween this and the Souix. ' With great respect, your most obedient servant, BEN.

Indian Affairs, St. Louis. .0 ItEADFUL CATASTROntr.-4.3xtract of a letter received by a gentleman in New York from a friend who went passenger m the brig Ann, Harrison master, which sailed from Philadelphia for London in May last :—" On our pa.ssage over, the night out, when 'about 50 miles from land; the wind changed and came a-head, ' blowing pretty fresh—the Captain had just quitted the deck, and turned in at Midnight, when we were suddenly alarmed by a heavy crash. All hands flew to the deck to learn the cause, which proved to be that we had run foul of a large sloop ; great consternation prevailed on both sides, the sloop calling tbr a rope and to lower our boats, and we hailing: lief to stand by, as she had . 'State in our bow, and we were sinking. We,, however; on. sounding the pumps and examining More closely, found we had not suflbred so much as was at first feared. Efforts were then made to beat towards the sloop, but our rigging was too much injured to get to wind. ward, unfortunately no mall boat was attached to our brig, and the jolly boat and deck were tumbered with cotton : every exertion was, however ' made to get the boat out, but we were fast drifting to leeward, as their cries became more faint. We showed lights, which were not answered. At length one dread. ful and piercing shriek of despair seenied to announce the cli max of their sufrerings, and the absence of all hope—after which, not a sound Was heard. By the time our boats were in the tackle for lowering, their fare seemed to be sealed ; with this little hope of success, and a dangerous seasruntring, it was con sidered too hazardous to man the boats, lest they be swamped, and thus increase the eabtrnity. The Captain there fore deter Mined on laying to, during the night, for the small chance of seeing them.in the mOrning, L or ping up any thing that might lead 'to a further knowledge of the unhappy sur fercrs but riot it vestige was to be seen, nor cou ld we flatter ourselves there was the least possibility of their being able to make sail for the land« This occurrence for many days cast a gloom,on all on board, and every one became nervous at the sight of a sail after sunset," DUELLING IN AMERICA.----A duel was recently of St. L ou i s , Missouri, between fought in the neighbourhood Dr. Alitchell, of that place, and Air.

COOL, one of the chief conunercial towns in the civilized world, isslaudahlyr ambitious to distin guish itself in works of taste. We therefore feel mild' pleasure in extracting the following article from The Liverpool Courier of Wednesday last. LIVERPOOL ROYAL INSTITUTION. .The collection of paintings, the works of old masters, at the Institution, is a source of much attraction. Amongst the nu merous pictures which grace the 'exhibition will be seen speci mens by Guercino, Guido, Domenichino,• Rubens, Wynants, Wowerrnans, Titian, Rachel Rnysch, Claude, Berchentn, Rembrandt, Gaspar Poussin, Ostade, Teniers, Vandyck, &c. And specimens of the British school .bX Wright of, Derby. Fielding, Loutherbourg,. Wilson, "Talisatert, Gainsborough, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Morland, &c. In addition to these, the casts. in the statue gallery are of themselves a rare treat to the amateur and antiquary. The fol lowing is a description of the collection : • " The collection of casts in this gallery is formed principally from the fEgina, Elgin, and Phygalian Marbles. " The casts from the Elgin Marbles were presented to the institution by his Majesty, and the originals form part of the collection made in Greece by the Earl-of Elgin, in the years . 1800, 1801, and 1802, purchased by Parliament in the year 1818, and now del o;ited in the British Museum, and cansist of specimens which adorned the Parthenon at Athens. " The case from the iEgina and l'hygallin Marbles were presented to the institution by Mr. John Foster, jun. " The former collection was discovered in the year 1811, by Messrs. Cockerell, Foster, Haller, and Linckh, at the tem ple of Jupiter Panhellenius, in the Island of iEgina, in the Saronic, Gulf, and, although every endeavour was mad e b y Messrs. Cockerell and Fo s t er t o obtain them for this country, they were ultimately purchased by the Prince Royal of Bavaria, and are now in the Gallery at Munich. " The discovery of the latter collection was made by the same party in the year 1812, at the temple of Apollo Epicurus, situate on Mount Cotylins, near Phygalia, in Arcadia, and were fortimatelv purchased by the Government of this country, and added to the collection in the British Museum. " PEDEsTAT,, No. I.—This pedestal contains such of the statues of the ./Egina collection as were situated in the west pe diment of the temple, and are placed on the pedestal precisely in the saute manner they originally stood in the tympanum ; which was fully ascertained by the height being found from admeasurement to admit the centre figure of Minerva, and the remaining figures to correspond with the angles of the tympa num under which they were discovered. " The figures on the Pedestals, Nos. 11, 111, IV, and V adorned the tympanum of the cast pediment, and were all that were discovered belonging to that part of the temple; although there is no doubt but that the east pediment was as fully, if not more, occupied with sculpture than the west ; and, judging from the specimens remaining, was evidently of a higher de gree of merit. " The twi small female figures over the fire-place, at the end of the room, stood on each side of the apex, orsummit, of the pediment of the temple. " Much has been said on the subject of these statues, but nothing definitive has yet been adduced. They arc, however, valuable on account of their date, being the only complete ex ample of the school of /Egina, whose early progress in art is much spoken of by Pliny, Pausanias, Sco. &c., and the pro ductions of which were distributed throughout Greece, and paved the way for the success and fame of the arts in the time of Pericles. No. Vl.—This pedestal contains the casts from the Elgin collection, of the principal flgures which adorn ed the tympana of the Cast and west pediments of the Par thenon, or temple of — Minerva, at Athens and were thrown down by the bursting of a bomb at the siege of Athens, by the Venetians, In the year 14117. " Figures No. I and 2. This group is meant to represent the Car of the God of Day rising from the Sea, and was placed at one of the extreme angleti of the cast pediment. The heads of the horses arc full of animation, and display the great anatomi cal skili of the artist. _ " Figure N 0.3. This statue is intended to personify the river Mont, which runs under the Hymettus, on the south side of the plain of Athens, and was situated in the west pediment of the Parthenon. • In point of merit it ranks quite as high as the Thesseus ; and the front of this statue, li k e t h e back of the Theseus, is considered a master-piece of anatomical skill. " Figure No. 4. -This group is supposed to represent . Ceres. and Fraserpp -pine, and was situated in the east pediment of the temple. As in the group of the, Fates, the skill shown in the arrangement of the draperrii very great. " Figure No. sis the back of the Torso of Neptune which stood nearly in the centre o f t h e west pediment, an d 'displays equal knowledge of anatomy with the other naked figures. " Figure No. 1. This group was placed at the opposite angle of the east pediment to that- of Ceres and Proserpine, and - is supposed to represent the - Fates. The entire group consists of three figures, one of which is wanting to this collection. The folds of the drapery, though numerous and minute, arc beau tifully detailed. - • " figure No. 7 is the cast of the flare of Theseus , and be. figure is considered wonderfully grand, longed to the cast pediment of the temple. The back of this and not surpassed by any specimen of sculpture now extant . " kigure No.B. This fine.specimen is supposed to belong to the Car of Night, and was situated at the opposite angle to the group of Hyperion, in.the east pediment, and by all, con. noisettrs and artists is consid ere d a nus t c hless work of art . . . " PEDESTAL, No. VII. —This beautiful figure of Cupid did not belong . to .the Parthenon, although it wag discovered by Lord Elgin in the Acrnpolis of Athens, nor is it yet known to what situation or building it originally did belong. • " PEDESTAL, No. Vlll.—Gladiator.

" METOPES " COMMENCIWO OVER TUE XNTRANCE: POOR: . • " The lower range of this wall colludes casts from the Elgin collection of several of the Metopes, (the divisions between the triglyphs in the exterior frizeof tlw temple,)' and represent the saute subject as the first part of the Phygalian friae, 'namely, the combat between th e Lapitlia; and Centaurs a t t h e m arr i age of Piritbous. The remainder of - the lower range, which con t i nues round the room, con s i sts of c as t s , from the same colle ct i on , of the Lanathenaic procession, which took place in honour of Minerva every fifth year at Ath e ns.

The story of th e C en t au r in too well. known to requ i re any particular account of th e ir origin.; it is only,therefore, neces- .sary'btiefly to add, that the Centaurs were invited t o t h e null , tial of ririth ons ki ng , of t he_ I,ipithast and that, duri ng the marriage feast, Eurython, the chief of the Cent aurs , becoming intoxicated, offered violence to.the person of, the bride Hippo. darnia. - This act WAS resented by Theseus, the friend of 'Pin. ous, who threw a vessel of wine at the offending Centaur, and brought him lifeless to the (ground. A general engagement then ensued, and which is the sub, of the first p a rt of t h e firize. • " The Amazon were a warlike race of females, originally inhabits, - .13 of Sarmatia ; afterwards spread themselves over Asia, and finally settled and built many cities Greece. The battles of the Amazons were favourite subjects with the Greeks, and, like th ose o f t h e Centaurs, were very frequently repre sented by them in sculpture. The subject chosen for the se cond part of this frize is the battle between the Amazons arid Athenians, as may be inferred from a variety .of circum stances, particularly the 'similarity in the form of the shields and the costume of the male warriors to those of those of the Parthenon. The Amazons were famous for their skill in managing horses, end are here sometimes represented fighting 'on horseback." FONTIFILL ABBEY, SEPT. 18.

THE JEW AND THE BARRISTER. - —..0..,` p,......-- - - - At the late Lancaster Assizes a cause was tried before Mr. Justice IIAYLEY, between two Jews. In the course of the evidence it appeared that the defendant had offered a quantity of bacon to the plaintiff to silence him and prevent the trial. To this the plaintiff refused to accede. A third Jew (Mr. MOSES SAMUEL) was called as a wit ness respecting the bacon transaction, and Mr. Serjeant Cttoss, tickled with the drollery of the circumstances of seeing three Jews by the ears about a flitch of bacon, amused the Court with some sarcastic remarks, •at the expellee of the witness, and the tribe of Israel in general.— After the trial was over, the offended witness wrote to Mr. Serjeant Caoss the following manly and indignant letter " TO sin. SELMAN? CROSS. " Eirn—l was surprised at the manner in which_ you defended the cause wherein I was subpoenaed as witness. From the want of proof and honesty on the part of your client, you had re course to ridicule the name ofJew; and because the case was accidentally connected with Buena, so much despised by Jews, anti so much admired by the children of the Cross. you thought it a fit opportunity of exposing this ludicrous medley, by un tying the Scripturet concerning our people— " Thou shalt he a proverb and a bye-word amongst all the nations whether the Lord thy God shall lead thee.'—Oeut.

" Is it to be believed, that in these enlightened devi l in an enlightened Court, where the enlightened Bayley presided, a Barrister, from the want of a better defence, should be suffered to pour forth such obloquy, and wound the feelings of a respect able witness, why, forsooth ? because—he was a Jew " Yours, MOSES SAMUEL" King CHARLES I I. asked STILLINGFLEET how it came about that he always read his sermons be fore. him, when he preached extempore else where ? lie told the King that the awe he felt of so noble an audience made him afraid to trust himself, unless he put his discourse into writing.

If such was really the object of the French frigates, it forms a striking contrast with the declarations of the French Cabinet in Europe. When the news Of the .rupture of the Spanish corvette by the French 74, in the West Indies, reached France, the Cabinet at once gave assurances to the British Mittletre; that no orders to molest Spanish vessela had been issued.

At the same time they pledged themselves tp aid Ferdinand in the attempt to recover his - colonies. Though we 'believe them to be capable of any kind of duplicity and perfidy, we apprehend that whatever might have been the avowed object of the Frencia frigates, their errand was not to weaken 'Maralts, or render env service to the catlse of Colombian independence. Their mission,' was, in all probability, to the Spanish General, to induce him to continue his allegiance to Ferdinand when the constitution' should be overthrown, and to establish an understanding irk r e _ Bard to future operations.
