CASSEL, DECEMBER as.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who
arrived here yesterday, dined with his future father-
in-law, the Landgrave Frederick. His Royal High-
ness intends to remain at Cassel till the new year.
The object of his visit is no longer a secret.
CONSTANTINOPLE, NOVEMBER fa.
For some time past the public attention has been
occupied by the news of hostilities that have taken
plate between Persia and Turkey. They seem, how-
ever, to be of such a nature, that it is probable they
will not be attended by any important consequences.
Prince Abbas Mirza (who had before been at variance
with his father, the Sovereign of Persia), proceeded
at the bead of a body of troops from the province of
Van against the Turkish frontier fortress of Baja-
rid, which he attacked ; but the Pacha of that place,
with the entire concurrence of the Shach of Persia,
victoriously repulsed this arbitrary attack, without
any interruption of the good understanding between
the two empires. News lately arrived here of an
attack made by a body of '2OO banditti, from the
:Vfo-ea, on the island of Tanes, in which they set fire
to he town of St. Nicolo, in order to plunder the
h :uses of the inhabitants while they were attempting
t extinguish the flames. It is not yet known whe-
t er the latter afterwards succeeded in driving, off
t 'z robbers; however, a galley and a brig are fitting
...at here to cruize for the protection of the Archipelago.
It is confirmed that the town of Vostissa, near
Athens, was inundated by a sudden rising of the sea
daring a violent earthquake, and that about ,five
thousand of the inhabitants perished in tieflood

'-`"ET4GAGENIENT WITH THE INDIAN&

CO y, of, a letter from Major-General Gaines to
the GOVernbi of Georgia, dated at Fort Scott, near
the confluence of the Flint and Chatahoochie Rivers,
2lst of November : • ,

" Stit—Tbe.firat brigade of United States troops
arrived it this itact on the 19th instant. I had pre-
N iously sent a runner to notify the Fowl Town Chief,
En4e-munt-Ity, of my arrival, and to ascertain whe-
ther his hostile temper had abated, and requested
him to visit me. He replied, that he had already
said to the Commanding-Officer here all he had to
say, and that he would not come.
44 He had warned Major Twiggs not to cross, or
cut a stick of wood on the east side of the Flint Ri-
ver ; alleging that the•land was his, that he was di-
rected by the powers above and below to protect and
defend it, and he should do so. This being the talk
referred to, and his town having continued to be hos-
tle ever since the late war, and having.participated,
as the friendly Indians assert, in the predatory war
carried on for some time past against the Georgian
frontier, I yesterday detached about 250 men, (sup-
posed to be pout the strength of the town) under the
command of Major Twiggs, with orders to bring to
me the chief and warriors, and in the event of resis-
tance, to, treat them as enemies.
" The detachments arrived at the town early this
morning, and were instantly fired upon, but without
effect. The fire was briskly returned by the detach-
ment, and the Indians put to fight with the loss of
four warriors slain, and, as there is reason to believe,
many more wounded. Among the articles found in
the house of. the Chief, was a British uniform coat
(scarlet), with a pair of gold epaulettes, and a certi-
ficate, signed by a British Captain of Marines, Ro-
bert White, in the absence of Colonel Nichols,' sta-
ting, that the Chief had always been a true and
faitbfol friend to the British.
" The reports of friendly Indians concur in. esti-
mating the number of hostile Indians, including the
Red Sticks and Seminoles, at more than two thou-
sand, independent of the Blacks at and near Suwan-
ney, within 120 miles of this place, amounting to
nerly four burvired men, and increasing by the addi-
tion of every runaway from Gedrgia able to get to
them. The friendly Indians inform me that the hos-
tile potty and Blacks have been promised a British
forcilliEtsist them, from New Providence. This pro-
mise, tioaugh made by Nichols and Woodbine, is
nevertheless relied on by these deluded wretches, who,
I hire no doubt, will sue for peace, as they find their
hopes-of British aid to be without foundation. I have
called the Militia from Fort Hatvkins to this place ;
aod_bave directed Colonel Brearley to confer :with

)-our Excellency upon the subject-of an additional
battalion for the protection of the frontier from Ok-
mulgee to St. Mary's.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed).
