Shewed their wMht of foliditv. Hejufti
tied the expu!fion of Mr. Blount from
Eis feat, on the evidence which they
bad of his unworthiness to fill it; and
appealed very forcibly to the feelings
of the House as to the nature ofthe
crime of which he stood charged, and
as to what might have been the coufe
qtten.ee had his plans been carried into
effe&. This fyech teemed to have
great effed on 'k house, and, after
ft, member members had offered a few
word on the occasion, Mr. Blond worth
moved to portpone the decifipn till
.Monday. The teas arid nays were ta,
ken upon the question, and it was ne
gatived 19 to 7.
The question was then put on the
expulfion,and carried by yeasand nays,
±6 to 1. Mr. Tazewell's vote was the
negative.
After this det;ifion, Mr. Blount's bail
delivered him up, and he was taken into
• the puftody of the Metieriger of the
House.

Whilst the doors of 'he House of Rep
refentative were closed, we undeiftand
the Seled Committee appointed to pre
pare Articles of impeachment against
„ Gov, Blount, made a Report of certain
papers founiin his pofrffion, amongst
which we have heard were fevtral let
ters which had palled between him and
a person of the name of Roma, he, of
New-York. In order to probe this
mysterious affair to the bottom, the Se
k& Committee have powergiveri them
ito fir during the rtcefs of Congref*,and
to fend for persons, papers and records,
from any part of the United States.
The members appointed on the Select
Committee were Messrs, Sirgreaves,
Baldwin, Dawson, Harper and Dana.—
The last gccfleman, we believe, has
declined frying : we have not heard
Who has been appointed in his stead.
Our readers wild not D° farprifed to
hear that Blount is g°ne ff, when they
are informed, that though, in the firft

, LEXINGTON, JUNE, 3.
Fram reports ihr.ugn different channels,
th/re appears a probability that we are on the
eve of an Indian war. A large body of In
dians from the different tribes North Well
of the Ohio, as well as from the southward,
are said to be colletled in the Spanish
territory opposite the lilionoife, where the
Spaniards have affixed them in ereHicg 1
very large council house.
The reason said to be given by the Spani
ards for the encouragement given by them to
rhe Indians to fettle in the territory of Spain,
is to enable them to repel an invafign appre
hended from Canada.
An express from the Commandant'at Fort
Moffac, to Gen. Wrikinfoo, passed through
this place on Thursday left ; by him we learn,
that, from the late conduct of the Indians,
tb^fpoft is thought to be in considerable
danger.
