" BALTIMORE, OCT. 1.--Cptaill DYER, of the
schooner Mermaid, 14 days from Cape Henry
(Hayti), informs, that a few days before he sailed
a brig, prize to the Carthagenian privateer, pro-
ceeded into that port apparently in much distress,
and requested permission to sell a portion of her
Cargo, for the purpose of defraying necessary ex-
pences, but the Governmentreplied, that they were
at peace with all the world, and would not permit

the sate of any of the property on board the brig,
but if they were really in distress the Government
was sufficiently rich and liberal to repair her at
their own expellee, the prize brig lay at Cape
Henry when Capt. DYER sailed.

‘c A Letter from Amelia, dated the 13th nit.,

states, that a brisk cannonade has been kept up at
Amelia all this morning, and the battle still
rages ; the attack is made by some gun-boats and
a few companies of infantry, composed chiefly of
Negroes. It is said Colonel IRVINE is well pre-
pared for defence; a few hours will probably de-
cide whether it be so.

"Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in St. Mary's, dated
September 20.

The result of the action on the 13th was, that
about 12 o'clock that night the Spanish gnu-boats

gent back to the narrows with one man killed ;
and the troops returned to Harrison's with two
killed--the whole force about 410 ; but some of
the Patriots and sonic of the Spanish patsy tell
Ye only about 40 were engal.-,,eJ, with two brass
pieces on M'Clnre's Hill firing- on the town and
tan the San Jo,cf : the Commandant made the

ethers remain behind the hill. Neither party
came within musket-shot : no person hurt on the
Patriot side. I presume no further attempt %vitt
be made, and that the Patriots will remain in
possession of Amelia. McGaEGott sailed on the
11th inst., it is said for South America.'

" INDIAN BATTLE.-L—The St. Louis Paper of
the 23d of August contains the following account
a preparatory movements for a great Indian
battle :

Ily a Gentleman just arrived here from New
Orleans, via River Ohachitta, we are informed
that a formidable coalition of Indian tribes have
assembled at the Cherokee villages Om the Arkan-
sas, consisting of Cherokees, Choctaws, Shawa-
noes, and Delawares, front the east side of the
:Mississippi, and Caddo's, Cosbattes, Tankawahs,
Comanches, and the Cherokees of the Arkansas,
for the purpose of waging war against the Osages.
The Coshattes, Tankawalis, and Caddo's of Red
River, and the Cherokees of the Arkansas, com-
plain that. the Osages are perpetually sending
strong war parties into their country, killing small
bunting bands of their people, and driving off
their horses. Our informant travelled part of the
distance between the Ouacbitta and Arkansas
firers, with a large party, going on to join the
confederate, troops. They had six field-pieces,
with several whites and half-breeds, who learned
the use of artillery under General Jackson last
war. They said they were informed that the
Osages had built forts,, to which they intended to
retreat after the general battle, which it is thought
will be fought near Earbart's salt-works on the
Arkansas, on that cluster of streams called the
Six Bulls, and above the boundary line lately run
between the interior counties of this territory and
the Usage country.
The Osages are aware of the intended attack,
but cannot believe they will be met by such a for-
mitlabi-e force.
As they always fight the pitched battles on
horseback, it is probable they will be defeated in
that broken country which they have chosen for
the-combat.'"

KING;STON (JAMAICA), Auo. 27.—The last news
we have just received from the Havanna and other
quarters respecting the kingdom of Mexico, is,
that General Mimi, about the end of July, was in
the city of San Luis de Potosi, with a force of
more than 8000 well equipped and disciplined
men. Also, that he had fought several battles
with the ,Royalists, in all which he had come off
victor ions. In one of the last actions the Roy-
alists lost 4000 men, 800 horse, and a large quan-
tity of baggage and stores.

We give front the Anterican Papers a Procla-
mation of 111`GREGoa, declaring the ports of
Florida in a state of blockade,' which will be
found in a preceding column.

There was a report yesterday of the death of
