NATCHEZ. ON. T.l Iune IS.

We learn by a gentleman from Attaca-
pas Orleans Territory that in passing
through the parish of lbeyville, he found
encamped on the banks of the Mississippi,
on the American side, a great number of
French families, who had been driven from
West Florida, by order of the Spanish 60
vernment 1t appears that three days on
ly were allowed these unfortunate people
to dispose of their property and leave the
dominions of his Catholic majesty. Our
informant adds, that it was seriously spo-
ken of by the refugees to return after they
had found a home for their families, and en-.
deavor to overturn the government of West
Florida. We doubt not the good will of
these people to make the attemp pit but we
have too much confidence in the foresight
and energy of the acting governor of the
Orleans territory, to suppose for a moment,
that he will suffer an unlawful enterprise to
be undertaken within the jurisdiction of his
government.

From the National L7seWecncer.

We are informed that on the Gath Tune,
1910, the United States big Vixen, Lieut..
1ripPe, carrying fourteen guns, on her way
TO N. Orleans, under orders from our 60
vernrnent, near the Bahamas, was, in a
wan,on and u~nprovoked manner, fired into
by the British sloop of war the Moselle,
capt. Boyce, rating 20 guns, 80 Founders ;
a SO pound shot carried away the main
boom of the Vixen within a short distance
of col. Poindexter, a member of Con-
gress, who, with his family, had taken pas
sage on board on his return from Congress;
and a splinter from the boom wounded
slightly Mr.. Rodney, son of the attorney
general of the United States, who likewise
was on his way to N. Orleans.
The subjoined extract of a letter from a
gentleman OF great responsibility on board

fair, however, corresponds with the treat.
ment which we have so often received
from the British naval commanders on
former occasions. The Moselle, a 20 gun
brig, carrying SO Founders, was lying at
anchor under the Stirrup Ray, near the Ba.
hama Bank. The Vixen approached her
under full sail, with her pendant and ensign
hoisted. The commander of the Moselle
hoisted French %colors, and exhibited seve-
raj private signals. Capt. Trippe perceiv.

speak his vessel, hauled up and received
the officer, who requested MIN to go down
to the British vessel. With this request
capt. 1rippe declined a compliance, fur

the name of the vessel, and her destina-

Moseile, fred a shot at US as we passed,
which capt. Trippe considered as an init

the Morning Chronicle of the s5th of
