Saturday American- Papers, principally from
Norfolk in Virginia, to the 21st ult, were receiv-
es! so late as the 12t,;) Au'gust-, his llajesty's ship
Achar had made two captures off the coast of
America. A Philadelphia article states, on the

ed as king extremely ill, had been shot in the
street by a Col. Benton, whose challenge, he had
ret'osed. Gen. Jackson, it May be remembered,
conmianded at New Orleans when the Britisn

American Commissioners had been appointed to
treat with the Envoys from the different tribes of
Indians at Portage de Sioux; and 'these Commis-
sionvs state the result of the meeting. it is said
that the interview was appointed in consequence
of the Treaty with Great Britain, but that its ab-
ject was in a great degree frustrated, the Indians
not having sent forward a sufficient. deputation,
and some of them not having employed a single
agent. On this account it was suspected'hy the
Commissioners, " that she principal Chia War-
riors continued to cherish the most inveterare and
deadly hostility towards the American. people and
their Government."

The Papers contain very ging doCuments re
•specting the American Finances, and the- disap-.
arraince of silver and gold coin from circulation ;

" The fact. is, that the embargo,..thelyon-bitercourse, amid
the war,• and the French and Itritisli,segnestrations of our
property, have diminished flit sum total of the 'national
wealth•by a great many millions. Ever since the commence-
ment of the restrictive system, embracing a period of more
than seven years, the balance of trade hat been against us;
that and other causes have combined and the national trading.
capital has been deplorably dinainished-r-the habuice of trade
is still a;ainst us ; and yet foreign prices arc higher than ever
they were before, except during one short period of the war."
