AN INDIAN WAR IN THE NORTH-WEST.
" Macntstaw, juf.y 2.—A letter was !waived a start
time since from Major Marsten, commanding Fort Arm':
strong. It appears that the conitunuication lia,tl been
cut off, and that the Major had availed himself of a
Sack Indian to communicate with Major Baker, at
Chicago ; he states, that tiro of his men bad been killed
by the Indians, and they attempted to cut off his pro-
vision boats, but failed ; they made something like a
regular attack, bnt were reptilsed ; his command was
too !Mall to think of leaving the fort. The fact is, that
great apprehensions ire entertained for the safety of
the forts and posts west of the Orem Bay, at Cbicapt."

Le%ters here bon teeereed from Madras, dated
i March 9, stating the all—lure of the great mercantile
house of J. Defrics and Cu. under very peculiar cir.
cumstancee. One of the partners had, a short time
previous, retired from business with an immense for-
tune,
and such was the confidence reposed in the
1 house by the native population surrounding Madras,
that it had become the general medium of depositing
property, in a manner something resembling that via'
1 savings bank. The popular indignation, on hearing
of the failure was so great that the resident partners
were compelled to fly for their lives.
Letters were yesterday received from Lima, dated
27th March. They were conveyed across the istireots
• of Panama, and owing to distance and the uncertainty
of navigation in the lower part of the Pacific, the
above date may be deemed very recent. The ca..-
, ture of Valdivia by Lord Cochrane was known in tEe
' capital of Peru on the 16th of the same month, and
the loss had been regretted by those ethigranta
, only from the south of Chili, having property id that
quarter, the tenure of so distant a point having hi-
therto been extremely expensive to the Viceregal Go-
vernment. —Accounts bad also been received there,
that the O'Higgins, the Chili Admiral's dag-drip,
bad struck on the Quiriquina, is Talcagnano hay,
by which accident she had been so much injured, as
to make from 50 to 60 inches of water per boar.
With the greatest difficulty she had been got up to
Valdivia, subsequently to the capture, and shipwrights
had been ordered from Valparaiso to eudeavour to
repair her, which was deemed altruist impracticable,
owing to the want of convenience, as well as the ge-
neral state of the ship.
The greatest tran,in:llity and confidence prevailed
In the whole of the Viceroyalty. Accounts from tke.•
Royalist army in L'pper Peru had been received, stat-
ing, that the war was at a stand in that quarter, thy. ..,
troops opposed to them being chiefly withdrawn, of ow '
a state of complete insubordinatiou. They had- W. ,
informed at Lima of the progress of the Montonelliks•
and the other parties from the interior against Beam ,
Ayres ; but they had not yet learnt the successive ran
volutions which had taken place there. N. .ait.,
