north is at on near Platts5urg, under maj or
general 1Eard--there is also respectable
force at HuBaioe collected and collecting
under major general Brown-and brigadier

immediately expected between lizards divi.
sion and the enemy near Chamblee, where
they have 5000 men under Gen. Couran--
The discipline and general Condition of our
troops is highly spoken of. and they are re-

prior tothe appointment OF British Conmis-
sioners. the prospects OF peace musshave be-
come h;gherin consequence of such appoint

happy result OF the negotiation at Gotten-
burg, are strengthened by letters from res
pectahle British sources. We understand
that, WITH these circumstances in view. o.
pinicas of high characters in Washing ton
have been given rather IN favor than a.

the North Carolina militia. who was latcly
dispatched down the Alabama in pursuit os
the remaining hostile Indians, has returned
with $40 oil. them prisoners !! they were ia.
kcmwithout the least opposition--only one
gun was fired. Three hundred of the pri-
soners had arrived at Fort Jackson, and the

We are also informed. that M'Queen and

ficers if they will be received on the same
conditions as the Indians WHO have already
delivered themselves up.

RETALIAToRY sYsrEM

1t is understood land as we believe from
a correct source,) that the retaliatory sys>
tenn is brought nearly to conclusion.-
We stop not to inquire who has been the
FIRST to abandon the ground; but state ON
this authority, that the 90 men originally
confined by the British are to be restored
to the ordinary state, of prisoners of war
and as we are informed, this measure has
been met by corresponding disposition on
the part OF our government. The hosta,
ges IN Marblehead are also restored, and
will depart in the Matilda for Halifax.-
We would fondly believe. by these prelimi-
nary steps, that great inpediment which
seemed to present itself as unfavoratae to
a pacific result of the. Gottenburg mission
is removed, and that it may be the harbin.
