CHARLESTON, NOVEMBER 4.

The following is an extract of a letter from a gen•
tlemau in St. Augustine, to a merchant in this city.
dated the 7th ult. received by the Spanish schooner
Maria Regler :
44 We are now well supplied with provisions for
more than two months, and are in hopes that our fate
will be decided before they are consumed, It is like-
wise probable that our case may undergo a full dis-
cussion in the American Congress, and enable those
who, like myself, have been sufferers by the unpro-
voked and unprincipled aggression upon this colony,
to know where we are to apply for indemni6cation.
46 We have got new Constitutions in this colony,
and have been for a week past engaged in elections,
&c. The Indians have defeated a strong party thar
went against them lately from Georgia, under Colo-
nel Newman ; and I suppose we shall hear a great
deal more about their barbarities, without a word
being said of the unprovoked attack made upon them
by the Whites, who ought to be outlawed for having
violated the Spanish territory."

• By the new Constitution of Spain, the Spanish Colonies are
placed upon the same footing, in relation to the mother country,
with the Britith Colonies—they are to have their Lezi*Litive
Assemblies and other Etecutive ()facers.'

In addition to the above, we learn, by the same
arrival, that another reinforcement of 600 men
a rived A St. Augustine, from Havannah, the day
before the Maria kegler sailed.
Nov, 43.—Barristt INJUSTICIL—We learn by the
passengcil in the Cartel from tiassati, arrayed yes-

terday, that siz of the crew of the privateer Sarah
Ann, Captain Moon, of Baltimore, taken some time
since and carried into Nassau, had been seized, and
sent CM board the Sappho in irons, to be carried to
Jamaica and tried for their lives as British subjects.
We further learn, that Captain Moon has forwarded
a representation of the circumstances, together with
proof, that five of these men are native American
Citizens, to the Naval Commander on this statien ;
the sixth, being an Irishman, a resident of this coun-
try since the year 1793 ; in consequence of which,
twelve men, including a Midshipman, of the British
prisoners now on board the prison ship in our har-
bour, have been ordered to be put into close confine-
ment, as hostages, to be hereafter dealt with as cir-
cumstances may render necessary.—Further parti-
culars on this subject will be made public, for the
information of the friends of the sufferers.

DETACMIENT Of' MILITIA.—The troops that re-
mained at the camp at Haddrell's Point, were, on
Friday last, discharged from the service of the United
States, by order of Major-General Pinckney, and are
now on their way to their respective homes. They
consisted of five companies, under the command of
Captains Hodge, Williamson, Myddleton, See, and
Lieutenant Butler, and formed the first battalion ofthe
third regiment of State Troops, under the command
of Major Evans. The second battalion, commanded
by Major Thomas Pinckney, it will be recollected,was
discharged on the 15th of Septern!ser last. In addition
to this, we learn, that several companies, forming
part of the quota of this State, and stationed at
Beaufort and Georgetown, have also been discharged
from the service of the United States.
