We understand that thr►e companies of mounted
men, to wit: one under the immediate command
of Captain William F. Ware. who will have the
direction of the whole; one under the command of
Captain IVl'Girt, and the third under Captain
Boyle, coniisting of 3 and 400, are ordered to ren-
dezvous at Claiborne in a few days, to scour the
country from that place to Fort Jackson, and, if
possible, to destroy a party of out-lying Indians, who
infest the road more for the object of plunder than
from a disposition to commit murder. 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.

MILITARY ♦ItRANGEMENTS FOR THE DEFENCE

OV THE WEST.

The attention or the War Department to the
interest and ptotection of the Western Country,
deserves the thanks of the people in this quarter.
in addition to the military post at the Yellow
Stone, which will produce salutary effect., we Mt.
derstarid that some idea is entertained of establish-
ing a strong post at the mouth of the St. Peter's,
and another at the Stone Lake, which is its prin-
cipal source. The Stone Lake is within eight
days march, over a high, level, and dry country,
of the Mandril village, on the Missouri. These
posts, if established, would doubtless hold
tudirw sod the English iu effectuid check. and

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

but there is a kind of defamation which legislation
never can reach. We allude to the pompous eel°.
gin which certain periodical writers artfully lavish
nu citizeus, whom public nod private conduct m►ght
have been expected to secure them against such •
humiliation. 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.

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.
