the people OF the Netherlands, and perhaps
likewise, the disposition Of the Cabinet OF
ST. Petersburgh. Prussia appears resolv-

leave her troops on the left bank Of the
Rhine, which viii be a great charge on

already prevails much discomfort. The
other objects to be treated of at the Con-

There is no approach to reconciliation be-

England appears to entertain the wish oil
separating the affairs of An erica from the
business Of Congress, but | have yet heard
nothing positive on the subject. Before
the commencement of her negotiations al

necessity OF making levy Of $4,000 10 re

day contains the royal ordinance on this

not be proceeded in, and the conspiracy

FANZAcoLA, sept. ~.
Z" We are waiting with anxiety for the
United States to take formal possession of
this place, and for the establishment of a
regular system Of government. Our
government at present is military one
exclusively, and of course not very high
ly relished Panzacola contains at this
time about fifteen hundred buildings, one
third of which are dwelling houses: it is
probably 10 more delightful situation
than any town in the southern country.
and decidedly more healthy. MANY
northern people have spent the season
here thus far, without single death, nor
scarcely a-case Of sickness.
This place will and must be place Of
safe and fashionable resort during The sum.
mer and sickly months. The harbour is
exceeded by none in the world perhaps
two thousand ships may ride in perfect
safety. Fort Carlos de Barancas is six
miles below the town, and commands the
entrance into the harbour. The country
in the neighbourhood is very far from
being fertile; but all this part of the
country produces the grape in great lux
uriance, and will be one day to the United
States what Spain is TO Europe. Lands
on the Escambia are good, as also on
yellow Water and the different bayous
and creeks.
The Indians are routed--scarcely one
as seen throughout the country. Many
OF them have passed on to cross the Mis-.

ing very wet and disagreeable. The con-
course OF people however, is said to have
been numerous, procession was termed
which moved to the South Westinghouse,
and after an appropriate prayer, by the
Rev. DR.. Flint, the premiums were award
ed. The cattle exhibited were generally
fine. Among the Domestic Manufactures
produced, were carpets, rugs, diapers, lilo
en-, broadcloths, Gannels, and hose of
a very superior quality. The ploughing
match. says the Connecticut Mirror, exci-
ted an uncommon degree of curiosity and
interest. There were five competitors,
with single yoke of oxen each; the por-
ton allotted TO each team was one fourth
of an acre and the time occupied 10
ploughing each piece was from 33 to SO

@What contributed probably, as much
as any one circumstance, to the interest Of
the cattle show, was yoke Of calves, at

size of the calves was more than ordinari-
ly large, and they were under the most
perfect discipline. This team and driver,

fifteen miles, to attend the Fair. One OF
the calves was ten, and the other but nine
months old and they walked with the ut
most ease with six or eight boys in the We

A large proportion OF this days paper is

portance.
We understand the report cf new sur.

lpeake, for military purposes. The Report
of the Commissioners 10 favor of r. Island,

doubtless sanction il with his appreciation.
II is not little surprising, or at least a.
musing, 10 observe in some of the Boston
papers, particularly Russeis CenGnel, the
ridiculous parade and voluminous accounts
Of the death, burial, sc. &c. of the late Prin-
cess Charloue--and the highly Interesting
