same month. We subjoin a summary of their
contents. The books for lubscriptiotts to . the
National Bank closed in all parts of the' Union on

time to ascertain the amount of the subscriptions;

the largest subscriptions were to be reduced.
Another paper, however, estimates the amount
subscribed at twenty millions, nicking a deficiency
of 8 imillious. CoMplaints are made of further
instances of the exercise of the right of search by

dotted, however, do nut seem to justify the'
charges of insolence and arrogance brought against
the British officers. A Mil() of the name of .shad.
rack Penn Jar has made an angry affidavit about
his vessel having been hu.irtled from the Tectimyeh,
and his having heelr asked" iuu peremptory style,"

There are not a few of all coontries- who feel equally
thssatisfied with this Shadrach Penn Jar, that they

Domingo to procure the release of Mr. Daplessis,

Indians were preparing an expedition of from 500
to 1000 mini, under their Chief, 11' I mush, against -
the Seminoles of Florida, who recently took pos;
session of the fort in Appalachicohrßay. The
Indians on the western batiks of the Misstisippi
express great dissatisfaction at the encroachments
made on their hunting territories by the white
Settlers iii that quarter, and at the extensive ha-

htinters.. There was an embargo in the ports of
Cuba from the 21st to the 28th of June, on which
latter day six armed nicreltuntment sailed froin
Jago de Cuba for AfriCa aid Spain. The abject.
of the embargo was to prevent information of
their intended departure from reaching the nu-
merous Carthagenian privateers those

which, by uniting their force, might have inter-
cepted the merchantmen. According to re-

Spain, which, at the period, of. its overthrow by
Ferdinand V.l 1.: was indebted to him in the sum
