arrived at this place on the 4th current,
after tedious and unp!eaflnt tour from s. w.
Point, IenneHee, ditance of IL miles by Ell
nation, through the Cherokee and Creek ma
tIon- My paiIdge was fomewhat mpeded by
nigh waters, which prevented my arrival as foon
as had contemplated. Our garrfon was, how
ever, fu!ilciently formidable for combating the
mott potent enemy thar, at this place, ever an
| noys US, TO wit, the Bilious Fever; which now
appears to be nearly defeated, tho not without
ferrous lois lofs. which 70 this country is
| aIinott reParable.-Colonel E6braim Kir5r, u.
). Commifiioner for fettliug the claims of lands
E!f OF Pearl River, and u Judge for Gaid diff
'fIct, oied on The morning of the 2Oth.-He had
met an attack of the fever in the latter end of
Aughit, which continued about three weeks,
when he began to recover, and foon obtained
perfect health, which he enjoyed but few
weeks: His lat illnefs continued but about
eisht days previous to his death. His bufinsfs
as commihoner was nearly clofcd decilions in
| al cafes before the board, had taken place; and
all that remained towards final exemption, was
the hgning the nccefI;my certificates, which
were all IN readinefs. He had prepared an able
ana elaborate charge, which was deGgued to be
delivered 20 the grand jury OF this diitri6t. He
nad mace many able arrangements preparatory
10 the eftabiliilment Of good order and civil GO
Vernment amongf the people of this difrict,
who require much pruning and correction to
make them even tolerabe citiZens.-Altho' his
work mutt In great degree fall to the ground.
yet trutt his place will be filed by perfon
calculated TO proiecute the laudable objects on
winch he embarked.
From his mertorious fervices during the
revolutionary war, and he having previoully ex
Preiied with TO be buried in military file, the
commanding Ollcer was induced to order nil
lltary funeral, which was conducted in the ord
nary manner of the burial OF a field officer all
the respectable citizens of the vicinity attended.
The public have doubtlefs fIftained great lois
by the death of this amiabe man. Our little
iociety here, feels thelofs with the utnof regret,
and Of Al! Others, the citizens of this country
have the mot reafOn 70 lament his death; which
| am induced to believe was hurried on by his
laboriouS and almo6 inceiIant eXertions in their
favor. He had ufed every means to make him
ielt acquainted with the ftuation, character and
diPohtion of thefe people, in which believe
he had made comfortable progrefs, and might
nave furnlihed the government with much ufe-
tul information on thcfe, as well as a variety of
other points, had he lived.
g The iurveyor general, Briggs, is now in the
vicinity of this place, having complicated his OBJ
iervatioEs thus far through the wildernefs.-
He thinks favorably of the route.
The Spaniards at Mobile have, until few
days lince. inIpoftd heavy duties on commerce
OF every defcription. They now, am inform
ed, ccate to impoft duties, and admit the polii-
h'ilty OF ITS becoming the property Of the Uni
ted States"
