The information in your last

mong the inhabitants of the
Natchez, is.not cerr^
atKaflia lkias and in theneigh
borhood of that place, that
the French fctilers have bee#
infligated/by Spahifh and
Frebetiemerlesto throwoff
their allegianceto the United
States and ere& the Trandard
of the French Republic. Gem
Wilkiqfoa is cm his march
with a ftrortg detachment of
Federal troops to suppress the
insurgents. These wicked
Frenctyemiffaries are affo en
deavoring to perfuade<he In
dians into another war with
us, and a party of the savages
have actually attempted to
get possession of Fort recov
ery, but were defeated with
the loss of two or three killed#
It gives us great uneasiness. to
learn that three Frenchmen
who passed throughthis place,
some weeks ago, have been
addressing fbemfelves toCorzz
planier's Indians, and telling
them that they were opposed
by the U. States, and would,
never be happy till their old
friends the French, were- in
possession of the country a
gain. It is said, the Indians^
listened to the speeches with:
great attention, and there is
reason to fear the vile inceri
diaries who are now among
the weflerri tribes will be too

ALEXANDRIA, SSPT. 28.
Tuefday afternoon a cbifa was held for
the examination of J/An Perry, charged
with being concerned in fining out and
arming a ttfel withinthe Cuhed States,
for the purpose of cruiAog a^inft the
furfe&s of a nationwitA whom we arear
pe^ce, &c.
The 104 ft mrtctil evidence for the
prcfwtion was Capt. Willis, whole
teflimony was i^ foditance as follows :—
thar in the moAthut January lait, on bis
hbifitwad bound piffle from Guade
loupe, he fa kg a new cupper bottomed
fchoonerJrcm Norwich in Connc'dicur,
celled the Uncas, with mules upon her
deck -"that nnhis returning to Guade
loupe, tome time after, he ft und that this
febcoder had been converted into a-pri
vajeer, and bad taken feme prizes, par
ticulady&fhip called the Berfey of Ghi
gow—th;t in a cpnyßifaion he bad with
Perry, he fiid he w^s on board the
Schooner when fpnken by him ire Janua
ry fall, apd farther acknowledged that
he was 'then imerefted iafoid schooner,
as a privateer— that Perry was public kly
spoken cf at Guadeloupe as part owner
and agent for the privateer, which was
then called the Victorious.
Mr. Murray's testimony corroborated
infyfogthe prevailing opinion at Gua
deloupe, of Perry's being undejftocd as
part owner apd agent for this priva
teer. .
'After a full and candid hearing of evi
dence and the refo&aive cownfelemplcy
ed upon the occasion, the court were of
an unanim >us opinion that Perry's case
came under cognizance cf a law of Con
gress pair-din '94, which futijeas citi--
zens of the United States guilty, of the
cffcoct far which he was indited, to im
prisonment of not more then three years
and a fine 'not exceeding - §OOO dol
lars.
The eburt admitted; Berry to bail on
his giving security iff the sum of 5300
dollars for his appearance at the Federal
Court to be held in the Dili ria of Virgin
ia, to which a final decision is referred.
Before the fame court, Ms. Robert
Hamilton, was examined ena charge not
very diffimihr to the above. The only
evidence adduced in this case was his
own voluntary confeffioh. Sunday

gentlemen on his wharf, he defined that
they would step into his counting rcom,
werehe cbfcrevd to them, that undet-
Banding a report to in circulation
that he bad beer .concerned in a priva
teer fitted out of the United States, was
defirops of representing the matter in its
true light,, order that they might
contradia $y mifreprefentarion which
the tongue of rumour would probably
originate. He then fitted that in the
y$ 9„a friend in Baltimore, without
his knowledge or advice, pirchafed a
^rtitia pri— that he was firfl in- ,
formedthis cteumfenre by ° : letier>
Bating hlfo that he was corfider^d as in-'
fefeftedin a third part of the purchafe—
that he accordingly gave his friend, who
was indebted to him, credit for that pro
p&tioh of the fn^.e'o2 bought in me pri
vateer(as he flicked by hts ^boeV) , ;
motiving tq £ 48 q/^ttaf he qfter
wards received, through him goo dollars,
as a dividend of a prize mage by, fai^pri
