flesh wounds, very deep gashes! We .nder-
stand that one of the white men was sbot
through the thigh in the attack: OF live men
who pursued, only two came into action, the
other three, 1t is said, behaved in the most
dastardly manner, so much so, that 8 or a
Pottawatomies kept the field, and called out
IN their mode of defiance, "will you swap n
light" The taking prisoner has alarmed,
he frontier extremely, as it is sure indica-
Vbn of war.
1t is said, that the young woman above
mentioned, has demanded the rife and pan
falcons of one of the men who refused 70 fcat
the Indians, justly Concluding he had no fur
Their occasion for either.
On Saturday last, the inhabitants residing
on Wood river, were thrown into consterna-
ton, by another MURDER being perpetrated
within the sound of the drum Of Belle Foun-
tame.
AS Mr.. Price and another man were
ploughiny on his farm, a little distance above
the mouth of the Missouri, on the east side of
the Mississippi, they observed three or four
Indians enter the field, not liking their ap-
pearance they prepared to return to the fa-
mily i'll this Price was prevented by one of
the Indians getting between him and his
horse, who came up crying bon jour, bon
Jour- The savage stretched out his hand,
and Price gave him his, who grasped it fast,
whilst with the other he seized his gun
Price at this moment stood gazing at the
ghastiy savage in supplied horror, without at
temlkng to recover his gun, but was reliev-
ANom further anxiety by another Indian
s6tRg him through the heart. His compa-
NM bkng unarmed mounted his horse and
fed, not without receiving severe wound by
Shot from one of these internal banditti.
The party which was collected to protect
the neighborhood, found Prices body much
manglcd, with three scalps taken from his
head.
Yesterday another account reached town,
of there being found in the lower extremity
CT Clinton Hill, the body of white man cut
in pieces, and a number ofhorses stolen from
that quarter.--Surely these transactions
should impelthc governors of these territories
to provide against the impending storm
B!ock-houses are erecting on the frontier
settlements Of Illinois, and the people have
obtained the loan of so muskcts from this
town. We expect to hear Of prompt mea-
sures being Immediately taken by governor
Edwards to repel any further attack.

We have said that the probability of another bat

not be surprised to hear that he had retired once
more to his strong lines in front of Lisbon, where, if
the French follow, they will be exposed to the same
If not greater difficulties than the army of Massena
experienced for supplies.
= The plan of Lord Wellington appears to be to
draw the greater proportion of the French force in
the Peninsula, towards Lisbon, by which means the
difficulty of subsistence for the French will be i'm
creased, and his own diminished, and by which the
people of Spain will be better able to act.

INSURRECITON AND MASSACRE !!

Capt. SPALDIEG, of the schooner Mary, in
II days from Aux-Cayes, arrived at Quar-
antine ground this morning. Capt s. not ha-
wing been visited by the Port Physician, we
could not board him but learned while our
boat lay at some distance from him, that
there had been a serious instruction at Aux
Cages. The facts, as nearly as our situation
would permit us to gather them, are, that
detachment of Rigaud's troops, stationed near
Petion's line, being i'll great want of provi-
sions, &c. had frequently petitioned for sup
plies which were promised by Rigaud to be
furnibcd in a few days--not satisfied with
this tiVy still continued their murmurs, and
finally determined on marching into town,
and supplying themselves by force and on
putting Rigaud TO death should he oppose
them. They offered to place their Captain, in
the event ofsuccess, in Rigaud's place, if he
would head them in the enterprise this he
percmtorily refused, and was Immediately
shot The Rebels entered the City, at 9
o'clock in the morning of the 28th June and,
there being but few troops in town to oppose
them, took possession Of the Arsenal, and
commenced a dreadful slaughter of the in
babitants, which they continued till eleven
o'clock, a. NJ. when finding that the General
Ngaud, was drawing in from the outposts
a reinforcement Of troops for the defence Of
.AspCity, they retreated from the Arsenal
and endeavered to gain the mountains for
refuge ; but being closely pursued so or &C
Of them with their leader, were taken and
shot. When capt. 5. sailed the people were
apprehensiye Of another serious attack anC
we're making preparations for it by placing
the town in a better state. II was a hear

HOMER. Cortland county, N. W June


On Saturday last, about o'clock in the
afternoon, the effects of a Whirlwind were
experienced in this andsome the neighbor-
ing towns, more furious in its career perhaps,
than this country has ever before witnessed.
In the town of Locke, through which it pas
sed in north-casterly direction, its course
was marked by a general prostration of all
the timber that came within its grasp. The
roofs OF many houses were taken from their
places, torn III pieces and scattered in the
air-beds, bedding, and many other articles
oil household furniture, were removed some
OF which were carried to a considerable dis
stance. "A chest of linen in particular, was
takcn from the house of Mr.. Shaw. one end
OF which was found at the distance of four
miles, and the contents have not vet been
discovered, while his barn, 35 feet BY so, was
hoIsted from its foundation and removed to
the distance of ten or twelve feet eight men
VINO were at work on q frame near Fall
creek, conceiying they we're in danger, to
secure themselves from an involuntary fight
III the air, CLING to the nearest stumps
within their reach, and when the fury Of the
winds attacked them, they were stretched
their whole length in the air, while their
holds probably securing them from destruc-
ton--but fortunately none of them expcfien-
Ced any material injury, except son Of Mr..
shaw, who, we understand, breaking his
hold after the greatest fury Of the bL4st, had
passed them, was taken some feet into the
air and lodged agains,a stump: a Wagon
was taken from the door Of Mr. Maltbey and
carried over an eight rail fence five or sis.
rods whilst some part Of the box was carri-
ed into the air and after diligent search has
not yet been found; aAargc tree which had
been tallenNPrcyioa%to this time and sunk
considerably into ~ ground, was broken oh
SO feet from TIC lftt and carried into the ais
considerable Instance.

y they extcndH 1--WE have not been able to learn.

OF the limbs Of trees, boards, shingles, and ~
iher materials in the air exhibited a scene

FROM THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN.

Ithas been our fixed determination to ab-
stain from noticing the Federal Republican,
except when it asserts facts, and advances
principles hostile to truth, and detrimental
to the public interests. Men who habituaily
scorn the tics Of patriotism and allegiance
which ought to bind them to support the in
disputabie rights of the only free government
upon earth, are objects more fit for public
Contempt than for public animadversion
The writer's for that paper asserted on Sa-
turday morning that administration had
repeatedly admitted by strongest implica-
tioD, that France was first to be resorted to
as The aggressor IN applications to obtain
repeal otthe againstncutralco commerce.
We join issue upon the fact, and plead non
cHlhGbilis for the Executive. By the strong
est implication, administration have ever
held out the idea that England was the frs,
aggressor IN the warfare against neutral
maritime rights. The republican gazettvs
have undeviatingly maintained this position.
The learned historical disquisitions Of Juris-
cola, presumedto have been the production
of Iench Coke, Esq. satisfied every rational
ancGnprejudiced mind, that the cabinet a
l;on7ln had commenced her present system
OF al&neutral iniquities in the year I792; that
hermiSinai object was to subjueate reDub-
ilcan France but that hostility to American
commerce has now become the predominant;

We hear, from source deemed perfect

played by Mr. Foster in his last interview
with Mr.. Monroe. We believe on Thurs
day last Being pressed to explain himself
I'D relation to the interference of the United
States tQprocure such a revocation of French
edjfts, &cias should restore commerce to it's
fq'ncy state Mr.. Foster declared that 7ve

British gooV &c. to France and other natl
ons onthe Continent Being told that such
demand was unreasonable, beyond our
power to enforce and our right to ask, and
would not be acceded to; Mr.. F. expressed
the intentions Of his government in warm and
menacing terms: said that if America per-
sisted in her present attitude and claims, Bril-
tain would Immediately dispatch such a ma
rine force to our coast, as would annihilate
not only our foreign but our coasting trade

to Judges. This has given rise to the follow
ing disgraceful scene in one of the counties in
that state.
The court commenced it's session on
Tuesday, and proceeded without interruption
until Thursday morning, when Judge Snow
den appeared and took his seat. The court
was not yet opened. A warm alteration ina
mediately took place between Judge Snow
den and the president Judge Dunlavy, re-
speeding Snowden's right, which was termi-
mated by an order to the Sheriff for the re-
moval and confinement of Mr.. Snowden, for
disturbing the court. The Sheriff did not O.
hey. The President called for the Coroner,
and ordered him to commit the Sheriff for
disobedience. After the Coroner had COM
mitted the Sheriff, and returned to court, he
was ordered to take Mr.. Snowden into custo-
dy, and If necessary, to command assistance.
Judge Snowden refusing to leave the bench.
the Coroner commanded four of the by-stand-
ers to assist him two of them utterly refus-
ed their aid, and were fined three dollars
each, by the court; the third was excused
on account of his age; the fourth obeyed his
summons, and the judge after much violent
exertion, was dragged from the bench and ia

1t appears from the Bi.itisAlettcrs aud Ca
zettes OF the months OF April and MAY, that
there is much conversation in London on the
subject OF measures to be denominated Ere
taliation" on the United States. 1t is perhaps
best for our government and country to be-
lieve it possible, that under some ingenious
plea or another we shall at least be threaten
ed with all the evils, which can arise from a
continuance, and an extension of those prin-
ciples On which Great Britain has acted in
peace, since the treaty of 1888, and i'm war,
since the violations of neutral rights in 1892.
In the extraordinary conjuncture, in which
the judgment on our ships, the Fox and others,
were given in the British admiralty, we must
consider it as a very plain and formal annun-
citation of monstrous determination in the Bril-
fish government to legslate in all cases at
sea over the commerce and mercantile pro-
perty of this country by their executive pow
err.
Two plain, serious and inevitable consc-
quences would follow the submission CT this
country to an assumption, thus officially an
nounced and unlimitedly practiced, of legis-
lating over neutral trade. 1st, 1t would bring
on the like measures from all the adversary
belligercnts, and 2dly, it would destroy the
mercantile property, commerce and indepen-
dence of the U. States. Open war or free
extension ofcounter Legislation, modified by a
profound and honest policy, are among the
measures for which we ought effcctually and
| Immediately to prepare. We have commit
| ed one error in not paying an attention, suffi-
ciently close and practical to the British orr
ginai aggressions from the time in 1892 when
she, against right and her own laws, detain-
| ed our vessels laden with our crops in her
| neutral ports destined to ports of one bellige-
rent while she permitted them to go to the
ports of the others. Let us now determine to
require with an intelligent exactness, in all
cases whaxoverA legitimate justice and in
