resolution, unless ne was determined togoto
war at no distant day, if our wrongs were not
redressed by Great Britain. We had ample
cause to go to war. As to the objection, that
we were not prepared for such an event, 1t
did not apply because this was not propo-

No action had taken place though from in

lively employed in preparing for the work of

Marshal Berresford arrived in Lisbon the
4th of Jnly, and was to embark for England.
Although the Lisbon papers mention this Cir
Cumstancc, they do not intimate what is the
motive orobiect of his departure !; but rumor
said he was returning home TO meet certain
serious charges alleged against his military
conduct In Portugal. Whatever may be the
nature Of the accusation, certain It's, that all

INDIAN MOVEMENTS.

The following extract of letter from a
respectable source in Indiana territory, un-
der date of August z, shows thai the fears
of the people of that county hav9 some
what nagnihed the probability of n war with
the Indians. who are noy-actually in treaty
with Gov. Harrison. !. IT was indeed scarcely
to have been imagined that the small rcmains
of our Indigenous neighbors would have so
far abjared reason as to rush headong into
their own destruction, or total cxtirpaton,
which would have been the almost unavoid-
able consequence of their provoking a war.
The correspondent of "a gentleman in this CT
ty writes as follows:
"The inhabitants of this territory have
been very much alarmed from the hostile APP
pearance of the Indians; so much so, that
some families left their farms and moved in
to the garrison for protection. There are a.
bout 400 warriors in the neighborhood of Vim
cennes, who have come here fer the purpose
of holding council. The Governor and
they have had several meetings and be-
lieye there will be no mischief done for the
present"

A nail from New-York and Halifax arriv-
ed Yesterday; and at the same time Govern
meft received dispatches, which contain
Captaaaklngham's account of the action be-
twten the Little Belt, of Is guns, and the
PreSidett, of 4fguns.-It appears, as in the
frstlns0ncc Ye were persuaded it would
prove that Tie attack of the American upon
his Majesty's ship was as wanton and uupro-
'voked, as 1T was per6dious and cowarcily
and unless the outrageousy hostile conduct
on Capt Rodgers is explicitly disclaimed by
the American Government, and proper re-
paration made fer il, we do not hesitate TO
say that 1t is due to our national honor and
character to inhict the most signal chastise-
mcnt on the aggressor of which the naval
power of England is capable 1t will be re-
collected that Bonapartc, in his speech TO the
Legislative Body, stated, that " America was
making efforts to cause the freedom of her
flag to be respected, and that he would Sc
cond her. Ii remains TO be seen, whether
the present tiagrant outrage was a concerted
measure between the French and American
Governments, or whether the latter, finding
that G. Britain would afford no plausible pre-
text for hostilities, directed the most wanton
act of aggression to b&committed. we are
far from wishing for war withcAmerica :;
