We have received to ay New York Papers to the.'
aad Charleston to the 7th tilt. From the follow..
big extracts it would appear that the disputes be-
the Ilnited States and the Seminole Indians are •
sti likely to terminate without bloodshed :
NEW YORK, DECEMBER 2.

by express, the following important information :

rail entertained a hope that the Seminole Indians,
apprised of this racvetnent, would yield to my com-
mand, and thereby obviate the necessity of marching
to the frontiers the military force which you were
pleased to pat in readiness for the purpose.
his hope has not been realized ; on the con-
um-v it appears from the best information I can ob-
tain, that the Seminoles have made arrangements to
coßect their force, amounting to upwards of 2,000
warriors, and attack us as on as we gross Flint
River. Although I put little faith in their threats,
and believe their numbers to be overrated, yet, un-
der all the circumstances of the case, I feel it to be
my duty to request of your Excellency, the regiment
of infantry and squadron of cavalry designated for
this service ; and that they may be ordered toassern-
ble at Fort Hawkins on the 25th instant, or so soon
after that day as may be practicable, where the in-
inayy will be armed and equipped, and the whole
mastered and inspected by Major Nie, of the army
cf the United. States. I apprehend that it will only
to practicable to arm the cavalry in part.
“ It is thenceforth very desirable that this part of
the force should bring with them their own arms and
evipments, otherwise I shall be under the necessity
cf putting Muskets into the hands' of such as I may
be unable otherwise to min." • • •

OM OF A LITTER FROM MAJOR TWINS TO GENERAL

(AIRES, DATER.VORN SCOTT, NOVEMBER I.

Stn—.Since TO last communication, nothing of
er importance hasoccefrea is this quarter. I have
Cluscter in confinement, who was present at the
meeting at the Mikasuk Town last September. The
&termination of the Indians is to give up no mur-
derers or others of thcichites; and as soon as they
erned Flint River to attack us, the Chiefs counted
the number present at thmmectingthere were 2700
warriors. In compliance with the above requisition,
'cram have been issued by the General for the drafted
militia to rendezvous at the place appointed by the
int of next month.*

ill the disposable force on the sea board of North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, under the
command of Col. BA/MIZAD, are ordered to rendez-
vous forthwith at some point on the St. Mary River.

From three diferent quarters the discomfiture and
retreat of the Royalists in Venezuela appear to be
confirmed, though no details have yet been received
from that quarter. The following is an extract of a.
krtor from Kingston (Jamaica), dated govember 14 :
" Arrived here yesterday a ship from Laguira,
fusing fled from the embargo that was laid a that
port, and gives the following information :--It was
expected an emigration would immediately take place
the cause of the Patriots was very prosperous ; a for-
midable army had marched into Valencia from the
inteside ; the Spaniards were getting away and re-
moving all their valuables. All was quiet at Barce-
lona and Cunrana, which still remained in possession
of BOLIVAR. Moans.° had pillaged Caracas, and tied
to Laguira, which he' was speedily obliged to eva-
cuate. This vessel brought 60,000 dollars in cash,
and several seroons of indigo, the property of Spa-
niards who had fled from Laguira ; the Captain also
states, that the account of the defeat of Gen. PAR;
which appeared in the Curacoa Courant, was with-
out the least foundation ; on the contrary, he was
completely victorious. This ship left Laguira, on the
of October. Another vessel had also arrived at
I:ingston from Porto Cabello, the Captain of which
was also the bearer of accounts very unfavourable to
t'ae Royal cause.
