From The ,New Orleans Gazette of the 7th ult
we copy the following Extract of a Le:ter from a
Gentleman at Natchitoches, tinder dare of the
28th October JUAN BEHAN, NDI and JEZI3-
ANGEL NAvAttao arrived bete last night, and con-
firm tie news of the arrival ,at Attaf,eo,‘ito of the
expedition t‘hinit I alluded to in my last. It is
unposed of 500 men, under the orders of Don
JuAN de CASTANEMA. Two hundred men had
made themselves masters of a fort belonging to
General LALLSMAND, and CAST4NEDA had sent a
dal: of truce to Galveston,which had not returned
at the depArtore of BERAINIIN VI. The object of
the expedition ...Tpears to have been to destroy
this fort and Galvecon, and to intercept as notch
as possible the trade of the Comanchez. They
have left leo men on the Trinity, at a plantation
called the Salts, 6 leagues on the main road. It
would scent that the Commander does not wish
to approach neater to the frontier, for fear of tier
sections : 4 deserters have already come in."

NASSAU, OCT. 27.—8 y late arrivals from the
coast of Florida, information has been received
II( re, chit a brig, moped the Eliza, of Halifax,
bad been found on the shore there, no person be-
ing on board, having several appearances of
blood on the deck. Not far front tl4e brig were
seen several persons at a tent, who, on the ap-
proach of a boat from one of the wreckers, made
off in a boat which they had with them, leaving
their bedding, &c. in the tent. There is reason
to suspect that this vessel is the Eliza, of Halifax,
Mutt Ptly, master, which sailed from Kingston,
Jamaica, on the 11th ult. for Halifax,, and that
the crew had destroyed the master of her, and
made off wiih some money supposed to have been
on board. The brig had no cargo when found.
The crew of the wreckers being few in number,
and having no arms, did not pursue the boat ;
but., on r4;oing to the tent, found the fellows bad
left behind some bedding and clothes, as above
stated.

The report now in- circulation about General
JACKSON'S resit nation has no foundation, other
than his known sentiments occasionally expressed.
The sinceri y of the Spanish or British Ministers
are of about the same weight %vitt' him as one of
the Abbe CORREA'S Botanical Lectures on Poli- I
tics or Metaphysics.
The talk of the reduction of the Military Ge-
neral Staff to one Major-General and two Briga-
diers, would be a serious affair to the General
who did not save Sackett's Harbour, but was
promoted for it. If General JACKSON must retire'l
by any means, 'then the said Conqueror of Sack-
ett's Harbour would have " no rival near the
throne."

The `larqu►is CASA Yatno's anpaintmentto the
Spanish Mitri,try is considered as a favourable
indication of the good understanding that prevails
between Spain and the United States, as his ex-
alter! opinion of the great virtues and talents of
our great Statesmen is no secret.

The negociation about Florida appears at a dead
halt. The West Boundary, the Massachusetts,
I'onlo Islands, in the Great Colorado, or Rio del
Norte, are now the ostensible difficulties; but the
real difficulties are matter of mere speculation.

(From the Baltimore Chronicle of the 3(1.)

The most important point to he decided in the
Case of the UNITED STATES against TAYLOR is
HOW discussing before the Court. The evidence
on the part ot the prosecution having been closed
yesterday, the Counsel for the accused offete►d in
evidence a Commission from the Government of
Buenos Ayres to THOMAS TAYLOR (the accused),
as a Commodore in the service of the United
Provinces ot South America, and moved the
Court to direct the Jury that this Commission
was a justification of the captures proved on ,the
part of time prosecution.—General WINDER is
now addressing the Court in support of this

Motion.

1 The Letter from our Correspondent at P,triqp.
which we insert this day, will be found particulaq
' interesting. lie communicates two important facffi
viz. that the KING himself has formed the Hera
Ministry, and that he has directed them to adhere
to the Charter in spirit and in' letter. if )11e/
obey the Royal commands, and tulfil them with'
fidelity and zeal, they may even at this perilous
crisis preserve their country. The KING has 06-
vionsly nothing at heart but the welfare of his
people. He scents to be fully sensible of the sittla'
lion of the Country, and to be convinced fli°
while there were differences in his Cabinet, the
business of the State must he impeded. Finding
urn
that the Ministers were of different opinion+
essential points, and not likely to harmonize'
he very properly dismissed them, and has n°4l
chosen men who. are likely to tilt in concert
Though we have differed with our Corrtspoodenz
as to what is likely to be the event of too hasty
veitharawal of the Allied Armies trout Fiance, yet
we can confidently recommend his communications
to the attention of the Public, because we knout
that he possesses peculiar sources of information,
that he is fully competent to appreciate the coursd
of events, and that he is not to wiife what
he does not think founded upon actual knowledge)
and mature reflection.

It has been strongly reported in the Political
Cirfrleg this day and yesterday, that some move-.
ments, it not changes, in Administration are sc.,
tually on the eve of taking place. We cannot:
yet speak f►om actual knowledge, but we believe
that something has occurred which may render
some arrangements more probable than wliol

such reports were lately in circulation.

We perceive that The .t
Dublin Evening Post- 0
Saturday
last has quoted amply from The sun. lf
that Paper were to do so more offer:, it would
be sore of acting upon good information, all
mi;:ht by
dcgrtes improve in its politic.' chit-
