We find the following article of intelli-
gence in the New ork paper OF the Sd in.
slant:
''We learn by the Commodore Porter
from ST. Mays, that several thousand In
disns audi Negroes had collected IN the
neighborhood OF ST. Augustine, and become
troublesome TO the frontier inhabitants OF
Georgia. Il twas even said that they had
encroached so far towards St. Mays as to
render the communication with the south
ern borders unsafe"
We are under the impression that much
OF the alarm respecting the Indians and ne
groes in Florida, is withou, sufficient ground.
Oral accounts inform US that these Indians
have been congregated pear ST. Augustine,
for The psrpose Of inducing HEN 10 reln-
quish their title 10 certain,nappsoprated
lands in Florida. Of which, it is reported,
pack Of Spectators are about to possess
themselves, by SESSIONS from Spain OF t.r
privilege Of purchasing from the Indians.

The Polar expedition was spoken, May
10. in lat 70, 30, about 8 miles from SPhs-
bergen. The atmosphere at this time was
yery clear. and it is stated that they could
behold the sun in its whole circle around The
heavens The sea was open for some Dis
lance farther, but many flaws of ice were
TO be seen, and the informant thought The
eypedition could proceed but little farther.
The London Courier of the 18th August,
speaking of the 6uctualion of the funds In
consequence of rumors Of approaching war
between the United States and England,
saws" As far as any accounts have reach

since the peace concluded with TIE United
States. in which that peace was less likely
to be disturbed. The diplomatic cores
pondepce between the two governments IS
conducted in the most amicah'e and cordial

into iu,urity we have, from the friendly spl-
rit now happily existing on each side OF The

This is the ainolrt Of information recently
received from that country; and we have
no doubt that the Indians are gathered to-
gether about St. Augustine for that purpose
solely, though we were, until lately, under

accounts are received Of the lately hostile
Indians coming in and surrepderipg them

=. Editor,
send you the following extract Of a letter
IA the celebrates Patrick Henry, TO his
.7yhtcr Mrs. Aylrtt. dated 2oth August,
Is. taken from Wirt's life of him.
Mr.. Henry had been charged with not
MY deserving his political principles, hut
;,h being deist.-He writes TO his daugh-
rar on the subject, and in relation 10 the
aharge OF deism, he expresses himself in
ne following words:
"'Thus, my dear daughter, have pes
cred you with long letter on politics,
which is subject little interesting 10 you,
except as it may involve my reputation
have long learnt the little value which is
to be placed on popularity acquired by any
other way than virtue, and | have also
learned that il is often obtained by other
means. The view which the rising great
ness OF our country presents, to my eyes IS
greatly furnished by The general prevalence
of deism, which with me is bat another
name for vice aud deprayity.-l am, how
ever, much conso,ed by rejecting that the
relisica Of Christ has from its first appear
ance in the world, been attacked in vain,
by all the wits, philosophers, and wise
ones, aided by every power of man, and
its triumph has been complete. What IS
there in The wi; or wisdom Of the present
des,ical writers or professors, that can
compare with Hume, Salisbury, Boiling
brooke, and others ?-yet these have been
conu,ed, and thei; fame decaying, in so
muc', that the puny efforts of Paine are
thrown in to prop their lettering fabric,
whose foundations cannot Stand the test OF
time. Amongst other strange things said OF
me, hearit is said by the deists, that am
one of the number, and, indeed, that some
good people think am no christian. This
thought gives me more pain than the appel
lation of tory, because think religion Of
infinitely higher importance than Poliiicks;
and find much cause TO reproach myself,
tina, have lived SO long and have given no
decided and public proofs of my being a
christian. But, indeed, my dear child, this
is a character which prize far above all
this world has, or can boast.
And amongst all the handsome things |
hear said of you, what gives mo greatest
pleasure is, to be told Of your piety and
steady virtue. Be assured there is not one
,iiila as IN a;.peo;,ion OF character, in which
my parental affection for you would sufera
wish for your changing; and it Eaters my
pride 10 hear you spoken of as you are.
A long day and night.-On the 23d uIt.
commenced the night of6 months at the
North Pole, and the day Of 6 months at the
South Pole.

Oh fly to the boa, and my faithful rowers

And gently husii'd her wild alarms;
HIS heart beat high as he wildly prest
The lovely Queen TO his painting breast.
He seiz'd the keys OF the castle gate,
And dash'd them deep in the silent lake.
" Now thou art safe," he softly said,
And wrapt her in his Highland paid;
- Now stretch, my clansmen, Tor the shore, !"
He cried, and drew his bright claymore.

And now the boat has reached the strand,

And now they speed their rapid flight,
