SOUTHERN FRONTIER.

Extract Of letter from, an o6fcsr Of Col.
Smiths rcgt dated dug o,.lSl2, Can't
before 81. augustine, East Florida, to his
brother in BALTIMORE
"We are eBcamped abouttwo miles and S-4
from the city of St. Augustine. The Spani-
ards have about 100 men in that place. We
are frequently aroused from our slumbers by
the alarm guns fthe picket guard, when'the
nights are dark +: but this signifies little, as we
are not afraid ofthe Dons, although much H.
ferior to them in number. Our scaling lad
ders are made, but our force is at present too
inconsiderabe to make use of them. Six
barges, each mounting an g To-. caronade, are
daily expected to assist us. The patriots who
sominally co-operated with us, have become
weary of beseiging St. Augustine, and their
camp is almost broken UP. We expect to
commence the bombardRent Of the city iii a
short time. We now have one "a ID. one ! 8
do and mortar of inches-besides two 6
Founders, which are alone applied to the de-
fence of our camp. All accounts agree that
the females in the city, are out Of all proper
ton in point ST numbers to the men SO that
" seven women will'' literally take hold On
ore man."
The Indians begin to be very troublesome
to the inhabitants. Several of the patriots were
found murdered and scalped within miles OF
our camp. The settlers on St. Johns river
are all pressing down to Amelia to avoid the
Indians, who are committing depredauons on
their premises"
