II Libel SuH.-Yesterday was tried before
the Supreme Court, now sitting in this city,
the case of John Baker against VIM Sickles,
one Of the officers of the custom house, for a
wilful * malicious SANDER. Mr. Griffin was
counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr.. Ferguson
for the defendant. Both gentlemen deserve
we'll of their respective clients and the for
mer, for his zeal iii protecting the reputation
of an honest and respectable man, is entitled
to the appreciation of the community. The
charge of his honor Judge Van Ness, was a.
BILE, concise, and impartial. The Jury. re-
turned a verdict of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
for the Plaintiff: Perhaps this verdict, consi-
dering the pecuniary circumstances of the de-
PENDANT, is about correct. 1t is at least, suffi-
cient to remove proAigate calumny from the
head of an unright and worthy citizen; and to
teach petty custom house inspectors, that, al
though they may have unbappiy the power to
perplex and harrass, and in some instances
impoyerish, the honest merchant; vet the
laws of our country will not permit them, with
IMMUNITY, to stab and blast the fair character
of their victim.

LEXINGTON, November 80.

We have learned from gentleman Just ar
rived troH Tennessee, that the United States
troops employed in cutting road from the
Muscle Shoals to Fort Stoddart, have been
attacked by a party OF the Cherokee Indians.
Our informant states, that he understood Sc
venteen of the whites were killed, and the re-
mainder instantly dispersed. We should not
be surprised to find, that this act of the Che
rokees has proceeded not only from the oppo-
'sition to the opening of the road through their
territory; but also from determination to
cooperate with the northern Indians in their
warllke expeditions against the whites. There

KINGSTON, Nov. S.
The house according TO order, resolved It
self into a committee upon the bill to lay
duty on the tonnage Of all ships or other yes
sells belonging to the United States of Ameri-
ca, coming to this Island, Mr.. Speaker left
the chair, which being again resumed, Mr.
.dVzvood, from the committee reported, they
had made several amendments to the bill,
which were read, and bill ordered to be en-
crossed.

1t will be perceived by this days minutes
of the house ofassembly, that it has been de-
cided by that body, to double the duties on
grain, viz. on -four, l3s. I'D. per barrel, corn
meal, IS. Sd. per ditto; rice, 6s. Sd. per
cwt and peas, Is. Sd. per bushel, imported
from the United States of America. The OBJ
ject of this measure it is said, is to encourage
the small settlers of this Island to cultivate
substitutes for these articles, as from the de-
preciated price of coffee, the labor of their
negroes in the cultivation of that product, has
become improbable. The measure was OPP
posed by Mr.. Stewart (of Trelawny,) on the
grounds that it was unwise and impolitic, and
would be the cause of driving the Americans
from this Island, many parts Of which, parti-
cularly the towns on the north side, depend
ing on them for their whole subsistence, anu
urged the great danger that was to be appre-
hended from famine, in the event of our ex
periencing either of those calanitous vista
tons, storm, hurrirane, or severe drought.
Mr.. Stewart concluded, by moving that the
duties should remain as formerly, when names
and numbers were taken, and majority OF 10
appeared in favor of the additional duty.

Ertract ofa letter from Field Marshal Baron
de Erales, to General Lacy, dated MeSe
Islands, Sent. /.
The Spanish flag is already flying on the
ramparts of Las Medas, the garrison OF which
surrendered at discretion to-day, at O'Clock
in the afternoon, after an obstinate resistance,
and in sight Of a division of the enemy TOUR
times superior TO ours, which in vain exerted
their utmost entleavors against us. These
islands possess by nature so fine situation,
that. besides affording at little cost, a port
sheltered from every wind except the >. w.
on which side the vessels enter, they are al
most inaccessible, on account OF the rugged
ness of their whole circumference, so that
second Gibraltar might be formed of them
They have also free and expeditions commu-
nication with each other. The possession OF
them, which until now has been looked upon
with contenpt, will soon shew to the PrincI-
pality the advantages OF which they are sus-
ceptible. by af1ording an asylum TO the people
in case of any great disaster, by a port for
merchandise and deposit for magazines of
all kinds. Such are the fruits of the efficacy
with which the English Colonel Edwin Green
directed this expedition, of the great talents
he displayed both in the works and in the d.
rection OF the attacks, of the activity and va
lor with which they were executed by the
troops of both nations, and of the assistance of
every kind given by Captain Thomas, COM
mander Of H. B. Nj frigate Undaunted, who
performed prodigies in the accomplishment
of this object.

The enemy have lost since they entered this
province about 900 men--They advanced
within miles of the city of Valencia. but they
viii succeed no better in this third invasion
than they did in the two preceding. A COM
biped plan considerably forces grand dispo-
sition in the troops and patriots, who anxious
" desire to fight, and imbrue their hands in
the blood of the alrocious Vandals, and above
all a surprising energy promises us the most
favorable result.
