INDIAN AFFAIRS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The deputation of
Cherokee Chiefs, that lately arrived here for
the purpose of settling the affairs of their ma
ton with the government of the u. States
have suddenly taken their departure hence
II Is conJectured that they are dissatisfied
with the arrangements understood to be pre-.
pairing by the United States for their future
government. The respectable aud venerable
Return j. Meigs, agent for the nation at High
wassee, through whose benevolent aud indie
tatigable eXsrtions they have been advanced
in civilization far beyond any other on the
continent, will, no doubt, endeavor TO esta-
blish proper understanding, honorable to our
government and beneficial to The Cherokee
nation. Ii is well known that they have ma
infested, for long time, disposition and de-
pertinent perfectly friendly to the whites, and
consequently enjoyed share OF happiness 81
tranquility, hitherto unknown amongst their
neighbouriDg tribes. City Gaz.

THE FLoRInAs.


An extract of letter, written at Washing.
ton, mentions, that it was reported that Mr.
Bagot, the British minister, has been comman-
ded by his gOYgnment to enter protest a.
gainst our occupation of the FloridaS. This is
surmised-But we give full credit to the re-
port. AS late as October, 1913, we were in
formed, in Spain, by member of the COrtez
from South America, that sir Henry w ellesley,
the British minister, was, at that period
(Which was few months after the successful
battle ofVittoria) endeavorng to obtain trans
fer of the Floridas which, lie proved by dOcu-
ments, brought the Spanish government in
debt S 100000 annually. He, however, did
not succeed in persuading the regents to ac-
cede to his proposition but il was reneweda at
ter Ferdinand the 18th entered Spain, and I'M
der more favorable circumstances and we
have never entertained a doubt but thata Sc
cret treaty existed in relation to the occupaI-
cy of the Floridas, aud the use of them which
made by the British during our late war
will serve TO confirm this belief.
1T may depend on circumstances, whether
Great Britain will deem il judicious policy
to persist in the claim in the present state of
Our relations; but the entering a protest, if
such measure has been adopted, may be con
sidered matter of form. We have no doubt
but the measures weShall pursue will be regu-
lated by sound discretion, and will not impair
the pacific state of affairs, nor yield any
important right. lNat. Adr.

NEWPORT, December I0.-On Friday last
as the packet Maria, Captain Gardner was on
her passage from Providence to this place, d
lad by the name of ThurSton Butts, fell from
the bOwsprit of the packet, which was then
going at the rate of about eight miles AN hour,
and being unable to swim, would inevitably
have been drowned had not General William
{. Gibbs instantly leaped overheard, and at
the Imlninent hazard of his own life, succeeded
in preserving that of the boy. Owing to the
rapidity of the vessel, he was at considerable
distance from the packet when General Gibbs
reached him and being much chilled, (tbe
weather being extremely celd) was twice car
ried under by the weight OF the boy aud his
own clothes, before the boat, which was put
of for tile purpose, could reach them. They
were both nearly exhausted, and probably
could not have kept above water a minute IOn-
ger.
Rare are such Instances Of courage and hu-
manity--s seldom, indeed are united ~ one per-
son, such great virtues, with such great for
tune-the finest feelings of the Heart, with the
nOblest daring Of the soul. General Gibbs saw
AN unfortunate being in distress-nOt his bro
thcT-not his friend--no, a strdnger--yet that
stranger was his fellow citizen-pOOT, indeed,
in fortUue-but existence was still, TO him, ex.
istence. In attempting TO rescue him, his own
life might be sacrifced-there was but one in
slant TO decide, and the heart decided. lie
saw him struggling for lifc-fearess Of dan
ger, lac plunged ntOithe river-he beat down
the waves-he glided through the water. which
almost froze as he glided lie reached and he
saved him. Renumbed. and almost exhausted,
he is bRt saved himself. The picture is sub.
lime-even stOrcisin, itself, cannot view IL with
cempOsnre. General Gibbs merits the admira-
item and love Of his fcllow,mcn and what he
well merits, he unbOnndedly possesses. Such
picture OF uudammied humanity, would, al ali
times, be q splendid associate in the gallery OF
triumphant patriotism.
