spite of TIE Inconsistencies made to them by
the Major Domos, who are superntendants
OF The mines and priests born in Spain
The creole priests, VINO were like the rest
kept in the lower clerical situations, encou-
rage the prevalent desire to shake off the
YOKE ofthe European Spaniards. In spite
OF the number of great severites used by
the European Spaniards, the act of Indepen-
dence Of the provinces of Terra Firma, done
at Carthagena. 18th November last year,
has found its way into these provinces, by
travellers from Vera-C Cruz copies Of it are
every where transcribed with enthusiasm
Through the means of traders from Natchi-
toches, copies OF the resolutions of Con-
Sress respecting the revolution of the Spa
nsh provinces have likewise found their
way here--great pains are taken by the
creo!es to circulate them. For want of
printing presses they are copied by the It'll
nerant monks, and posted up by the creoles
to animate their countrymen. AS far as /
can learn, it is the intention of the principal
leaders of independence, as soon as they
have entirely driven all partisans of the for
mer government out of the interior provn-
ces OF New Spain, and the vice royalty, to
assemble either at Lacateccas or'St. Louis
de Potosi, and to fix on a form of govern
ment that of this moment is entirely MI
litary.

NNOaVlLLE, lpf1t loln, 1917.
Dear Su,--ln the event of war be-
tween the L States and c. Britain, which is
daily expected to be declared, there is no
doubt i'll my mind, but that the northern
and southern Indians will be stirred uD ::
the latter to commit depredations on us
and that those Indians, or many of the dis
contented ones among them, with some a
bic director OF their measures, will endea-
vor to have some pcint for general rendez-
vous III posse sion near the middle ground
on the way of their communication and in :
tercourse with each other, which would
not be far from the Chickasaw Bluffs, with
in the limits and jurisdiction of this state,
is equally probable. The Chickasaws who
claim there, II inclined to do so, probably
could not prevent those indictments from
forming such a settlement thereabouts-it
as our business, until the general govern
ment takes measures, to prevent it from
becoming their rendezvous.
by last mail am informed by Brigadier
General Ihomas Johnst0n, that several
plundering parties of Indians have very re-
Gently done considerable injury to some
of the citizens of Stewart county in this
state, by kriving them from their homes,
Piundering and burning their houses with
their corn and other provisions as well as
to take a number of h orses, and 60 Kill ma
ny cattle-that they came down Sandy RI
yer IN canoes, which river heads near the
head OF XaZoo river, and runs into the river
Tennessee few miles from Dover the
county town of Stewart county situate ON
Cumherland--that he has given the neces-
sary orders Tor detence--and that from
the best Iat1r Glti3l he cDuli ret he had
reason to believe that those Indians came
from new town near the heads Of Sandy
and 400 rivers, but could not learn to
what nation the belonged.
They in all probability are not Cbjcka-
saws, and in that case probably are part of
several tribes Of the Prophets party who
are settled or about settling there with hos
tile views
As IL IS important to this state, nv desire
IS to know the fact, and that You take the
bsst way iii your power to ascertain who
they are, and to- learn their views corrcct-
'ly, and it they are not ChicSasaws (Which is

Ty you should lie fully convinced that thew
ave stragglers from other nations, come

REVOLUTION.

In the Interior Provinces of Nezy Shain
ECtrGct of'a letter frOn 81. Antonio, in the
Province Of Texas, dated 8M February,
1912.
The party that still adheres to the old
principles OF the Spanish colonial system.
consisting chiefly of persons born in Old
spain, and some other characters either
connected with or depending upon them, is
losing ground every day.--Even the priests,
who formerly sanctioned every arbitrary
measure, desert them. The party of the
Creoles is rapidly increasing. Hitherto,
Gov. Herrera, of this place, Jointly with
Gov. Salcedo, of Chihuahua, in the pro-
vince of New Biscay, together with the
Viceroy of Mexico, and the different Inten
dants Of the interior provinces, and the Vice
royalty, endeavored to persuade the people
that Ferdnand VII. would be Immediately
restored to his throne the French be dfi.
ven from the Peninsula, and the former Or
der OF things restored. But gradually Fer
dinand VII. is lost ont of sight, as a phan-
tom that has no political existence, and the
oppression of the government oblges the
people OF this province to shake off their
former yoke entirely. General RYAN has
collected formidable army, chiefly ca
valry, consisting OF Creoles, born in the inte
rlor provinces. His head quarters were
according to the last accounts at Hacienda
ot. LerenzO,m the province of Coquilla, b,
which position he has made himself com
pete master of the defles through which
the principal roads from Mexico to Santa
Fe and To Monterrey run, so that he ha,
80 measure cut off Salcedo and his party,
and likewise Herrera and his corps from ali
aid which they could derive from ;he pro-
Vinces Of ths vice-royalty. The communi
cation between this place and Monteloyez
Durango and from there to Mexico. is en-
usely Intercepted. The Kings hresidi9s

without being completely harrassed, saryri.

BY EXPRESS FROM DAYTON.
Gen. M'Arthur has arrived there with
several companies of volunteers. Governor
Meigs yesterday left here for Dayton-the
detachments under Generals Gano and Cass
will march fer that place to morrow.
The Governor has been busily engaged
the week past in making provision for the
comfort and convenience OF the detach-
ments who are going to Detroit. After u
sing every exertion in different parts of the
western country to procure blankets, it was
found there were scarcely any to be found
for sale. In this state of things Gov. Msigs
thought proper to issue an address, which
has had the desired effect. 1t is believed
more than five hundred blankets have been
already collected.

" Jcremie, Ahra 21-That part of the
feet of Christophe which was employed on
the blockade of Port au Prince consisting
of one Corvette and two heavy briggs was
attacked by the fleet of President Potion
consisting OF two Corvettes and two Briggs
besides about twenty armed Barges-The
result OK the engagement was the sinking OF
one of the briggs when the Admiral and all
on board persisted, and the capture of the
other, which was towed into Port au Prince
by the barges; the Corvette escaped and
got under cover of a small battery in the
possession OF Chrstophe's army where she
continues to be blockaded. Christophe him
self started next day for Cape Francois and
there is no doubt that his army harrassed
on its wings by a force of about 5000 light
troops and Strengthened for provisions since

many days be obliged to follow him ii was
by means OF his superior feet that Chris

same superiority enabled him to draw from

supplies necessary for his army. The com
