ST. LOUIS, lU. .I..l fune Z.


Captain Pratt, who commanded the de-
tachment of militia lately dispatched hence
for the reinforcement of Fort Madison, ar
rived here on Monday evening last. The
accounts of our Indian affairs in that quar-
ter are pleasing to humanity. The Sacs,
Souix, Foxes, sc. have had sufficient pru-
dence and dlscernment III their anger to
perceive the danger and destruction which
one act ofhostilley on their part would bring
upon them, and have accordingly buried
the bloody tomahawk; and We believ. so
deeply buried it, under a Sense of we'll
grounded fear, mingled with respect, that
no apprehension need be entertained OF its
being ever again dug up for the purpose of
inbruing it in the blood Of Americans The
militia engaged on this duty have accom-
plished their object, and acquitted them
selves with honor.

<Itiswith the utmost satisfaction that we
announce to our readers the arrival OF
prince Stehremberg in town as ambassador
from the court Of Vienna. His highness ar
rived in London about IL o'clock this day,
and Immediately had an interview with Mr..
! Canning. He came through Holland, and
after escaping innumerable dangers, was
picked up in fishing boat by one of our
cruizers. The intelligence which he has
brought respecting the operations in Bava-
ria, we are happy to say, differ most mate
rally from the accounts given in the French
bulletins. He says, that the losses sustain
ed by the French III the several actions,
were quite as great as those of the Anstrl-
ans, and that as late as the 28tn the FrencE
were unable to advance, having Suffered SO
severely. His hlghness is in high spirits,
and by no means considers the advantages
which the French obtained as decisive Of
the fate OF the campaign. He also states,
that in Italy the Austrians had obtained
some very important advantages, and that
the whole population OF Tyrol nave risen to
"a man in favor OF Austria.

into further consideration unless it was go
separated This our ministers could not do
consistently with their Instructions, as they.
informed Mr.. Canning and therefore no
terms OF reparation were specifically at this
time disclosed, and of course no satisfaction
given, except the mere disayowal Of the act
as being authorised by government. At this
time, however, Nr. Canning endeavourcd to
ssding the proclamation, which he affected to,
attach some blame upon our government, Tor
to consider as a measure Of hostility, and of
course as lessening our claim for damages
and reparation. 1t was however represented
10 him by our ministers, as it was In truth, as
measure OF precaution, measure OF pru-
dcnce, beneficial as we'll to G. Britain as the
u. States inasmuch as similar occurrences
which might mere deeply compromit the
peace ef the two countries, would thereby be
prevented, and which were the more likely
to happen in the state of initiation and popu-
lar excitement which this affair Produced
Mr.. earning was, however, determined to
consider it as an act OF hostility, for the very
hoHourablc purpose of pleading 1t as an offset
against our demand for rcparation; which, al (
though he did not pretend. that it would cree.
arc balance In his favour; or that 10 would (.
even fully meet our demand, he yet evidently
insinuatcd would reduce the verdict in our fn-s'
vour to six cents damages, and six cents cost.,
