FRANKFORT, (Ken.) Sept. 21.
Some *“ount of the Tombigbce tettlemenK !
The editor has just received a letter I
horn the Honorable Harry Toulmin, one
ot the Judges of the Mississippi Territo-1
r), dated at l-ort St. Stephens, August*
Ibth, from which the following informa*'
In n is extra£\ed.
**Th - settlement of the Tnmbtgby, (nr
Elome igribce, i. «. Box-Maker’* Jiiver,
so called by the Indians after a box ma
ker, who formerly lived on some of its
head waters} extend from the Spanish
I:ne about 14 miles below Fort Stoddart,
to the Indian boundary line about 14 miles
above l-ort St. Stephens, the two forts be
ing aoout 44 mile* from each other ; but !
n tv no where, I think, more thrtn 5 miles
from the river, tilt you get above Fort St.
Stephens, where there are some plantati
ons^ or 10 miles from the river. There
is likewise a pretty good settlement on the
waters of the Alabama and Tensaw, in
the north-eastern end of the county.
>\ hat the number of the inhabitants may
he, I do not know. Some slate them to
be about 20O families; thtre must be
that number at least.
“ l was at a wedding a few days ago*
seven miles above this place, and there
were at least 150 grown persons there.
In coming Tiotn Fort Stoddart to this
place (Fort St. Stephens) you generally
pass through poor pine woeds ; but there
is a great deal of good land in the river
bottoms, and it is very common for the
settlers to have their plantations in the
bottoms, but to live on the high grounds,
sometimes insight, but often entirely out
of sigh*, of their crops. But at this place
the face r.f the country changes ; it be
comes considerably billy, and instead of
pine alone, you find pine intermixed with
white and black oak, and hickory, and
in some places no pine, but black oak,
ash, walnut, cucumber tree, bo7 tree, See.
Indeed I have seen some tracts equal in J
qa.uny. i tiimk, lo ihe lands on Beargrass ;
creek, which on account of the mixture j
of sand, they more nearly resemble than
they do those about Lexington. Such
trefts, however, are neither numerous nor
extensive—bnt there U a plenty of good
farming land well watered and not unrea
sonably broken. The wheat raised here is
generally superior to what is raised in
Kentucky, and I have teen several speci
mens of it, and we have two mills capable
of making very good fine fiour.
Below this place, the stone is princi
pally free stone; but abuse this there is
very commonly lo be met with a soft
crumbling lime-stone, and wherever there
is a small hill of it, you may be sure of
finding a rich, black soil, so far round the
hill as the washings from it can extend
to* They plant corn from the beginning
of March to the middle of July. W e have
new corn meai at this tim*. They reap
their wheat in May, so that they ha^ new
flour by the time the fiour of the preced
ing year from Kentucky reaches New-Or
leans. It is a remarkably fine country for
pork r.nd beef. No expense attends the
raising of either, as food: whilst pork
from the woods sells at 5 and 8 6 per 100,
and beef at S 3. A neighbor of mine
received a few week* since, 8 1400 for
ht*ef, furnished at an Indian treaty here,
which never coat him one dollar. Trea
ties however, do net lake place every year.
There were 2700 Indians here, at one
lime. We see enough of them every clay,
but they behave well.
44 The usual market is Mobille and Pen
sacola, but unless those places increase in
the same proportion that the settlements
here will do, we must look to some more
distant market. Colton however, may be
regarded as the staple article; but the Spa
nish imposition of 12 per centum, is a
great drawback on the profits of the plan
ter here : hut w* look forward with confi
dence to the rxtinftion ofthis claim. The
price of corn is from a half a dollar to a dol
lar per barrel of one and half bushels ; and
the price of wheat from one dollar to one
and a half per bushel. Cows are nearly
Ihe same price as in Kentucky, hut it is
difficult to buy any, as people do not like to
decrease their stocks, though they are fre
quently immensely Urge. The price of
lar>d may he averaged ftt 28—and there
will be some valuable trafts to be sold this
winter by the United States. However,
the quantity of good land for sale is
net large, and consequently one wishing
to purchase, ought to set the country and
make his choice in time* « he distance
t f land from Nashville, is about 360 mdes.
?ery few trafts will seli far more than 83,
payable in four instalments.
« But when we have the free navigati
m cf the river, 1 know nothing which
, should render this land less valuable than
good land wi bin 20 miles of Kichmrnd,
Virginia. We have petitioned guvemm'-nt
vo puichaic a fine tuft uf land from the
Cho&fcws on the ftther side of the river.
We hope likewise to obtain about 40 miles
square from the Creeks. We want in
dustrious inhabitants. Our improvements
are very bare. Few orchards, no brick or
stone houses, and but few framed ones,.
no sheep, and as to poultry only the com
mon fowl.—For a man that has several
working hands, I think no place can of
fer more advantages. Cheap lands, a fine
navigation, and some good soil. The ri- I
ter bottoms arc sickly for white people, j
but the upper country is healthy. My own
family have had some short sickness, but
not morb than some years past.*'

We mention with pleasure that General
Ferrand, has caused the sloop George, of
this port, and her cargo, captured by a
French privateer, to be restored. It is no
more than justice to remark, that so far
as the conduct of this General has come
under our notice, we can say, that lie is
disposed to respect our rights ; this is the
second vessel belonging to this port, which
he has caused to he restored.

understand (says the Norfolk Public Led
ger) that at the District Court at Willi
amsburg, the Court decided that the draw
ing should be considered as valid—that
the Managers should pay the prize of 10
Thousand Dollars that was drawn to the ■
owner of the tickit drawn against it, and
that the other Ten Thousand Dollar Prize
should belong tc the owner of the last
drawn ticket ; fiom this opinion an ap
peal wns taken, and the cause will be ar
gued on the 7ih cf next month before the
Court of Appeals.
It is jjerfeSlly recollefied, that a se
questration of British debts is forbidden
by the last of the ten perpetual m tides of
the British treaty. But it is supposed to
be constitutional for congress In certain
cases to declare any treaty null and void,
as in the case of tie French treaty. Whe-'
ther the capture of our vessels, condemn- 1
a’ion of our property and impressment of
our seamen amount to violations, on the
part of the British, of that treaty, in let
ter or spirit, let others determine. No
doubt is entertained iri our mind, that a j
perseverance in the conduct lately adopt- 1
ed by the English towards the Americans
will inevitably and as speedily as possi
ble for our government to a£l, produce a
change in the state of affairs between the
two countries. Bee.
The following extfa£l of a letter from one of

London, Aug. 29, and will be re.id with atten
tion by our mercantile friend? —„V. T Gnz.
“We have been in hopes of being able to give
Our friends in America, some explanation of the
grounds of the detention of American vess*!s

“ Oar courts maintain the principles that a
neutral may not trade dircflly between the coin,
nies and mother country of oar enemies,and a?
a necessary consequence of that principle it haw
been decided that merely stopping at their own
ports to change the ship’; paper, sad afterwards
10 proceed to Europe is equally as utcgaJ as a di- i
re«.t voyage : the Binding th« cargo and paying '
the duties were considered by our court of aclmi- j

«*The former plain and'intelligible line being

Messrs. Webstkss,
ON an acic ar*ci three quarters of land, ,
,1 have raised SLvly~tu>o buthtU and a half
nf iv/iea! ; that which the bearer now car
ries to market; The land bad been pas- 1
lured for several years ; 1. put no manure ;
of any kind on it •, ploughed and harrowed
it at different limes tijl it wa* mellow and .
fine ; sowed it about the middle of Sep..
leather; and have reaped, as above slated,
neatly 36 bushels an acre.
There were two things, which 1 pre- ,
turae caused this more than common crop
(more than Common in this part of the
state) —my people not judging rightly of
the quantity of land, or having a heavy
hand, as we say, sowed two and a half
bushels to the acre ; and after it was sow
ed, I took the paing in culling and clear
ing out ditches or drains, through the
piece, leaving the lands about twelve
loct wide. The thick sowing and drain
ing gave the super to y to my crop above
those of my neighbors. Some of the wheat
froze out, but enough remained, had the
waters not been carried olf, the greatest
part (for it was low land) would have been
frozen out.
If you chute to Publish, and any person
chuses to try what can be gained by get

wish you and they may reap abundantly.
