Some letters by the Malta mail announce
the important intelligence of peace having
been signed between turkey and Russia
They add, that an official communication
of that event had been received. If that
had been the fact, itwould have been trans

have not received any such information.
Yet we do not think the intelligence impro.
bable. The last Paris papers stated that
the armistice had not been broken, and we
know the anxiety which the court of Peters.

Utilities with the Porte, under the impression
that it would soon have occasion to employ
Its arms in another quarter.
Some time ago we mentioned that the

HORRID BRUTALITY.
A FACE.

One William Scott, of P. some
time ago married a second wife, aged a.
bout 40 years, who had no children, and
who Was entirely destitute of any kind Of
parental affection, and so hardened to eve.
~ tender feeling, as to influence her hus.
band to nearly the same degree of austerity.
One OF has daughters, (by his first wfe)
about fourteen years of age, got infected
by the itch for which she WAS highly re-
primanded, and treated with the greatest
severity. Flor. Sulpn. as usual was ad.
mlnlstered repeatedly. After its being ap.
Piled several times the girl told them she
was cured, and begged they would desiss
from their cruelty, as any future operations
OF the kind would deprive her. of life. But
they turned deal ear to her supplications;
continued their seventies and threatened,
that IN case any opposition was made a.
galnst using the same means, as before
mentioned, she might depend on receiv.
ing severe Aagellation; and accordingly
prepared great number of sticks the same
evening. The next evening the girl was
ordered 10 undergo repetition of the same
operation, as before. A great FIRE was
made up, and screen hung round the ERE
place to prevent the admission of air. The
father and his wife were both present to see
that their commands were obeyed. The
girl, after standing by the FIRE above
hours, complained of their inhuman treat
ment, and begged release ment from such
cruelty. The answer was, that the FIRE
should be increased, and immediately or
dered some pitch pine knots to be laid on
it. She now prayed for releasement with
great earnestness. But was told, if she
did not stand there until she was entirely
cured Of the disorder, that they would nail
her hands to the mantle-piece and roast

INTER STING.

We have been favored with an extract of
letter from Amsterdam, (dsted the I'd
May fasO stating the particulars of the con.
demnation ofthe brig Maria, Slater. The
Maria, with her cargo, was 60na fde the
property of an American citizen, resident
at New. York, and on her return home,
with her outward cargo on board, from
Gouenburg. the 18th December last, was
cast away on Ameland, in the North Sea :;
he, cargo taken out, and seized by order
of Bonaparte. Thus what was left from
the mercy ofthe winds and the waves, was
seized by the merciless tyrsnt, and was
condemned by him without even a form of
trial, but merely BY his own mandate.
Thus are our poor ship. wrecked mariners
treated by the Emperor Napoleon.

FROM ENGLAND.

BY the ship Henry. Capt. Moore, so days
from Plymouth, the editors of the New.
York Gazette have received London pa.
pers of the goth June, and Pi, mouth of
the Cd ult. Capt. Bingham's official &C.
count Of the Little Belt affair had been
received in England, but was not pub
lished in the papers. From the follow.
ing accounts it appears that war with this
country was expected in England. The
Collector of Pl, mouth informed Capt.
Moore, previous to his sailing, that the
expectation was, that an embargo would
be immediately laid on American vessels
In British ports.

II remains to be seen, whether the present
fisgrant outrage was concerted between the
French aud American governments, or
whether the latter, 6uding that G. Britain
would afford no plausible pretexts for hos
Utilities, directed the most wanton act OF ag
erosion to be committed. We are far from
Wishing for war with America but IN.
less these points can be satisfactorily ex.
planned, We shall suffer both In our honor
and our interest, If exemplary chastlsement
be not Immediately inflicted.

indian Wopemenfs.-I The following er.
tract OF a letter from a respec table source
IN Indiana Territory, under date of Au.
gust7 shews that the fears of the people
OF that country have somewha. msguifsd
the probability OF a war with the Indians,
who are now actually in treaty with Gov.
Harrison. 1t was indeed scar cely to have
been imagined that the small remains of
our indigenous neighbors would so far have
abJuIed reason as to rush headlong into
their own destruction, or total extirpation,
which would have been the almost una.
voidable consequence OF their provoking a
war. The correspondent of a gentleman
u this city writes as follows
The inhabitants of this territory have
been very much alarmed from the hostile
appearance OF the Indians so much so,
that some families left their far ms and NOV.
ed into the garrison for protection. There
are about 400 warriors 10 the neiehborhood
OF Viucennes, who have come here for the
purpose OF holding council. The Cover
nor and they have had several meetings
and believe there will be NO mischief done
for the present."

The affair between the Little Belt. and
the American frigate, still continues to
make great impression upon the minds of
the people in the capital, and as far as can
learn upon the country at large. 1t is said
that government has received an official
despatch relative to the transaction from
the Admiral on the Halifax station, but it
did not appear in the Gazette of last night,
as was expected. Il will probably be kept
back until the re suit of an enquiry upon the
subject, by our Minister at Washington.-
Enough, however, NAV be collected to sa

has the honor and interest of his country at

in the extreme, and cannot be viewed in
