In the uarmest debates in their national
councils, he was never known, as / have
bean informed, to have lost the command
of his temper. The CherOkees loved hiE
for his good disposition. and esteemed him
fer his understanding. Some may per-.
haps say, why do You say SO much about
this In,iian chief? 1t may be answered,
he was indeed MAN. the worthy head of
ts,000 human beings, whom he guided
with discretion and wisdom in their con-
neetion with the United States. Such
men have claim on a generous recolIee-
ton of tue community, could say more;
to say less would at least be doing mega
tive injustice to his merit.

Austrian dominions, much in the way i.u-

in Sa!onica and before the packet quit
ted Malta, he had arrived ut the island.
How he was received has not been ex-
pIained: but we understand that ne has

/ A remarkable change has taken place
in the policy of our government. Lii
censes are now to be granted fortle first
| time to French ships, navigated by French
crews, and proceeding from hence to a
French port. if laden with colonial pro-
dnce. We do not at all expect that Ma
poleon will consent to receive our pro-.
duce under any such condition.
June 90.
A letter received by an officer high in
naval rank, repeats a report mentioned
some days ago, that brilliant victory
has been obtained in the Mediterranean,
b. division Of our Aeet under .Admiral
Thornborough. The enemy's loss is stat
ed at six ships Of war, and an immense
number OF killed and wounded.
The accounts from the North brought
by the Auholt mail Of yesterday are very
contradictory respecting the probability OF
war between France and Russia.
A letter Of the 2ist, from Wingoe Sound.
Supplies an extract from another Of the
18th Of June, from KoailSsberg. in which
it is said. that there is no probability OF
war, in contradiction to what is stated
on the same authority few days before.
From the same quarter we learn a cir
cumstance that shews both the fears and
the prudence Of the enemy. We are told
that Dantzie has been fortified with great
industry, and that it may now be consi
dered impregnable.
Onth other hand letters from Peters
burgh Of the 18th and the 9Th, speak of
matters between Russia aud France as in
very unsettled state, and one of the for
mer date, inquiries with much appear
ance Of surprise in the writer, why this
government will grant licences to encou
rage imports from Russia, assuming that
Withholding them would unavoidably oc-.
easion hostility between the two Imperial
Allies.
The intelligence from Gottenburgh fa-
vors the probability of war between those
two powers, and the instructions ola mer-
camille nature indicates the strong per-
suasion Of such an event.
Another circumstance Of a suspicious
nature Is HlcHtlOnCu lia iUS lcttcfS rum tHc
north. Three persons of suspicious ap-
pearanee had been arrested there by Or
der ofthe Russian government: two, ha
bited like monks, and one protesting him
self to be a music master. They all prov
ed, however, on examination. to be French
engineers, and of course spies in the en-
ployment Of Bonaparte. This is esteem
ed strong Indication of the views of the
French government at the present mo-
ment.
The last British subject who quilted the
Russian dominion: is now in London. He
was in company with Lauriston. From
the best sources Of information, he is
by no means disposed to draw the conclu
sion that the differences are terminated
between the courts OF Paris and st. Pc
tersburgh. He is satisfied, that it by
threats and promises, frauds and conces-
sions, Lauriston should be enabled to
accommodate the disputes for the present,
it cannot be long before this tranquility
will be disturbed.

city, dated August 7. Ash.
+" have taken the liberty to acquaint
YOU Of one Of the most unfortunate occur
ences that has ever come within lay
knowledge, which took place at this post
the 2ith June 1Si1. The circumstances
are these as nearly as may be. Last
winter, while Major Floyd commanded
here, an unfortunate difference took place
between him and Lieut.. Whitlock OF the
fst infantry and Lieut.. Jennings, OF the
9TH. Whitloek preferred number OF
charges against Floyd. which was the
cause of his arrest. Capt. Posey. who
was second in command, sided with Floyd
and arrested Whitiock; and lieut.. Pey-
ton arrested Jennings to crafty Floyd, 1t
is said here. Soon after the arrest OF
Floyd he was ordered to Natchez by the
Secretary Of War with part OF the troops
at Fort Knox. In consequence OF TINS
order col. Bisseil suspended the arrest q
directed him to carry into effect the Or
ders of the Secretary. The differences
were still kept up by capt. Posey, who
was LEFT in command here, and Nhitiock
aud Jennings. Col, Bisseil ordered 4 court
for the trial of the two latter, who were
beth acquitted with honor. And the court
were of the opinion that the charges a.
gainst Whitlock were of a personal ma
ture and not for the good of the service.
In the defence which Jennings made be-
fore the court martial, there were some
very hard things said Of Floyd, Posey and
Peyton, SO much so that some short
time after Posey called Jennings into his
room and shut the door and offered him
choice ofhis pistols. Jennings refused q
Posey. insisted, until a scufile ensued,
when Posey finding that Jennings was too
strong for him, laid hold Of one of the pis-
tolls and shot him. Jennings Immediately
loosesl his hold. and tried to make his es-
cape when posey laid hold OF the other
pistol and shot him again as he was get
ting out at the door, which Immediately
caused his death. There was no other
commissioned officer in the garrison at
the time. Aud Posey immediately packed
up his clothes and made his escape to
Louisville, Ky. with sergeant
