bout 10 miles above Fort Stoddart
and So below Fort stephens, defend
ed by about 175 fighting men. in
which we're 100 or 80 women and
children.
They made desperate assault !;
with axes they cut away the piekets.
and at the same time fired the block
house. The assailed defended them
selves very gallantly /; but as soon as
one INDIAN fell another took his sta
ton and axe. After an opening was
effected they rushed in and butcher
ed the whites without mercy. Mai.

as they entered the opening. MIR.
Mems and a number OF women and
children were burnt to death in the
block house. Every soul OF the
whites perished except 8, and OF the
Indians about 200 were killed.
On the Thursday following an at.
tack was made on Fort Sinkiield ;
but proved unsuecessiul-abOut 10
Indians were killed. A number of
families were butchered on Basset's

The inhabitants of the Mobile

Gen. Claiborne is in the country
with about 500 twelve months men,

MORE DISCLOSURES.


In introducing 'rurreaa's letterts
the public, we observed that it was
only part of what We had to addace
upon the same subject. Proceeding
leisurely, in order TO give time for
the examination Of each part, we
now produce another:
General Armstrong, when in Paris,
was in the habit Of speaking very
freely to the Americans Of his &C.
quaintance, respecting the arrogant
pretensions and superciliOus con.
tempt, manifested OH all occasions
by Bonaparte towards the U. States,
and the atject, disgraceful submis.
sion Of our government. Among
other instances Of humiliation, he
frequently mentioned with much
Indignation. that upon explaining to
the FrencI, government. that the
Berlin and Milan DEGREES were, in
all there essentis! provisions, palpa.
Die violations Of the treaty then
subsisting between the q. States. and
France" true replied the French
minister--the emperor or France
has so viewed the operation OF his
DEGREES, but (proceeded hey when
that treaty was concluded, the A.
merican nation was a sovereign IN
dependent country, but no1c the en-
peror considers the United States as
nothing but a British colony"
General Armstrong, moreover
gave his acquaintance distinctly to
understand that he had duly COM
municated to our government this
audacions exposition OF Bonaparte'
respecting the application Of bis
DEGREES to the United States.-ThIs
notifying, humiliatipg exposition
must therefore have been in posses
sion Of Mr.. Madison, at the very
time. when in his labored letters he
was torturins his invention to bring
forth apologies for the DEGREES. Gan
a parallel for such pitiful meauness
and base duplicisy he found in his'
tory, ancient or modern.
This statement We affirm to DO
correct in all essential points. 1t
will not be contradicted by gen.
Armstrong, nor by any clerk in tho
department Of state, nor even will
the conductors Of the government
paper dare to state, chat they are
authorised to contradict it.

distressing Uale at uao oou'u'
The southern mail due here ON Tues.
day last, arrived OH Thursday. On ac-
count of the bad state of the roads, the
contractor was compelled to bring it
from Darien, by water, 10 Tounderbolt.
The following are extracts OF letters
brought by the above mail.
AT St. Si,non's Island, the gale was
at its greatest violence on Thursday the
10th, from - to 4 o'clock-at the
heayiest.-wiDd from north east to east,
with great rains and Excessive high tides
Col Couper's house stood with loss OF
one chimney, several OF his negro houses
and sheds blown down and most Of the
trees around his house, torn up-every
fence levelled and cotton ruined.
AT major Buffers place, mis- dwelling
house un, ooffed and three cbimnies
blown down, and from every place tina,
has been heard from, most OF the small
buildings are DESTROYED MIR. Demcre,
iunr's. house, is said to have been wash.
ed away and even his bedding and clothes
lost. The crop on Brounton Island is
totally destroyed-oIl OF 400 barrels OF
rice not twenty will be saved--the barn
blown dewn-people's lives saved in a
hurricane house, fortunately erected.
AT Buffers Island, the crop is generally
yone-at gen Buffers place, the crop
shared the same fate (about I400 barrels
of rics) it having all been swept into the
river.
At St. Mary's the gale has been
very severe. All the shipping In the
harbor excepting brig ladened with
coffee, supposed to be Saucy Jacks
prize, and the ship WHnsklp, were d'-
ven ashore into the town Three Gun
Boats sunk-the commander GraysoD)
End two men only saved belonging to
one-no lives lost in any of the others
only one gun boat rode it out, two went
on shore much damaged. the rest are
in Florida high andd dry. The sIooP Hes
ter. capt Timmons, sUnk-the scboOn-
er Kitty Ann is on shore between Wa
lerman's Bluff and Lows, she will be
got off without much difficulty. Anum-
Der of houses and stores blown down,
and many goods destroyed by the high
tide. The schooner Live Oak, captain
Hussey, is on top of wharf. Some
dead bodies arc exhibited in the streets,
and many missing.
At Amelia Island, there 10 but one
vessel af1eat. The Portuguese ship

ton) is ashore and bilged on Cumber.
land, and is totally lost; she had on
board between 8 and 900 bales cotton.
AT Fernandina, % houses blown down;
and scarcely one remains uninjured s
The task assigned Us in recording the
calami,ies produced by the gale, is tru.
" melancholy one ; we have endea
yored to give our readers, as Ter as lay
within our power, sumo faint descrip-
ton of it-apologising at ID same time
for the hurry in which it is thrown to-

sbsll, no doubt, have further and mere

IMPRESSMENT


A transaction, more Infamous in
itself. or more alarming to the friends
Of civil liberty, has scarcely occHr-
red since the commencement OF the
war, than one which happened a few
days since. near this place.-A de-
putty quarter. master has for some
tia past been actively employed in
procuring boats here; and has, in
Sc veral instances seized them, when
the owners declined selling or bir-
ing them to government.-A Mr..
Bracket, a respectable merchant OF
this county, having a boat which he
was under the necessity of employ
ing in his own business. and appre-
hcnsive that il might be impressed,
took the precaution ofremoving her
about twelve miles up the river from
the harbOr. At the same time he
took off the sails, DC. and secured
them at his house. The potent. mau
of war, indignant that any citizen
should think ofmanaging his proper
ty in his own way, and without max
ing any previous proposals to Mr..
Bracket, instantly dispatched his
gems de arnaes to take the boat by
force. A subaltern with 12 men pro-
ceeded to the place. and after oh.
tanning information Of the boat and
taking means to secure her. went 10
the house and demanded the sails,
&e.-Mr. B. with friend Of his.
had secured the door and provided
themselves with arms, determined
TO defeni the house. he soldiers
were ordered to break down the
door-whieh being done, they pro.
ceeded 10 the room to which MIR.
B. and his companions had retired,
and we're about 10 commit violence,
when the officer told them il: they
would give up their arms. he would
proceed no further against them or
against MIR. BIS property. The
arms were given up--when they
basely stab'd Mr.. Bracket. as his
back was towards them, seized the
sails and furniture of the boat, and
made Of with their prize, leaving Mr..
B. weItering in his blood.-The
wound is very severe. and 1t is fear
ed may prove mortal.-lf such are
already the fruits Of the hopeful war
