We detached seven hundred men, on the
eo,h down the west side of the Albania,
who were gone two days. They saw no
enemy, but burnt about dozen OF tne'F
towns. On the Gath we sent ont a CO.
tachment of 200 men, with hive days pro,
visions, over the Taiapoosa on tran
leading towards Escambia and Pensaco-
la-.borse., sc. conveying Of their wo'
men and children. The party has not
a, vet returned. One other detachment
it is expected, will bessent about nifty
mile. to the west after party OF the
enemy, gone to the waters OF the Cana
ba. General Jackson began his return
march from thi. place for Tennessee on
the goth inst. The term OF service OF
the greater part of his men will expire
on the 2sth inst. He will not then have
more than. the pumber necessary to gar
rison the chain of posts from this to Ten.
nessee and make excursions on the head
of Cahaba, Black Warrior-Riyers, &c.
Our present force kere is the brigade
from the Carolinas, two companies OF ar.
tillery, one troop of dragons, the Seth
regiment ef'regulars and some other de-
tached companies of ditto, under Col.
Milton. The army oftbe left under Col.
Russell, ascending the Alabama, has not
as vet Joined, though expected in day
or two. Gen. Pinckney and his staff ar.
rived here the day previous to General
Jackson's march. This day we begin a
regular fortiicstion with. five salient an.
ples. on the settle Of the old French fort
Toulouse, at which lies six iron cannon,
with the Trunnions broke of, and which
is said to have been evacuated in the
wear 1855. Our troops are chagrIned,
thinking it will be an inglorious CAM
paigp, not having an opportunity to dis
charge a single musket at an enemy"

Yesterday. My countrymen look well

"The hostile Indians are retreating
from US ia various directions. mostly to-
wards Ko.ne. can, few miles above our
line of limits. The terrible chastise-
ment inflicted bv the army of militia, re-
gulars, Greeks and Cherokees, under
Gen. jackson, at Newyaucau, on the
hostile Indians, has alarmed the whole
party. Believing blood enough has been
split to atone for past transgressions,
Gen, Pinckncy, on the 2sd, communi
Gated through zee to the cncmythe terms
upon which peace will be granted them.
The United States will retain as
much Of the conquered territory as may

tanned by its citizens and the friendly
Creek Indians.
" The United States will retain the
right to establish military posts and trad
ing houses, and to make and use such
roads as they may think necessary, and
freely to navigate all the rivers and wa

The enemy must, on their part, sur.
render, their prophets and such other
ins,igators of the war as may be desig-
mated by the government Of the United
States, and they must agree to such re.
strictions upon their trade with foreign
nations a. shall be established by the
e. vernment Of the United States

few have come in here, and many Of
