that the Frenchman who was then Bonaparte's

could have no legitimate use in the United

The evidences Of corruption, of falsehood,

experienced in this and some of the neigh

perhaps, than this country has ever before
witnessed. In the town of Locke, through
which it passed in north.easterly direc-

prostration Of all the timber that came with.

were taken from their places, torn in pieces
and scattered in the air-beds, bedding,
and many other articles of household FUR
niture, were removed, some of which were
carried to considerable distance. A chest
of linen in particular, was taken from the
house of Mr.. Shaw, one end of which was
found at the distance of four miles, and the
contents have not yet been discovered,
while his barn, IS feet by so, was hoisted
from its foundation and removed to the
distance of ten or twelve feet; eight men
who were at work on frame near Fai

INDIAN WAR.

To the other calamities under which the
ration groans, the scourge of an Indian
war is likely to be added. Several accounts
concur in stating that various murders and
depredations have been recently committed
by the savages the cause of which is pro-
badly to be sought for in the attempts made
to obtain enormous cessions Of lands from
them.
