Arnerlean papers to the sills of Decembet Wo-
lin arrived yefterday. It is now underftood that the
Espana forces in Louisiana are to retain pollidion of
that province rift tire American troops reach the fron-
tiers. A formal fortender is then to be made to the
Desch agent appointed for that purpofe, and by him
-the aflgnment is to be made in due form. This ar-
rangement has been formed with a view of preventing
any future nrifenderftanding with Spain relative to the
ceffion. In the Sneer time the militia in the provinces
ofTeeefee, Kentucky, Ohio, and the Mifliffippi terri-
tory, are continuing their march, and a very confider-

tets. The number of the militia furnilbed by thefe
four States for this ferrite is upwards of (even thou-
fond. Though thefe levies have not been difcontinued,

mem bas vanifhed. Indeed to conceive that the mile.

stint is altogether ridiculous. The Government feems
determined to (pare no ere) rion to turn the ceffion to

(mall detachment of troops in the dee', of hunters,
on a journey of difcovery. They are to make the
tour of the whole province, and on his return Mr.
Lewis is, from the material's thus collected, to pre-
pare a memorial defcriptive of its pre(ent population,
medallions and refources. Some valuable diteover ies
have elready been made and communicated to the
Prefkleat. Among there the moll curious is the dire°.
