The Hercutes.-This beautiful ship oriwar sails
this evening for Laguira. She was built at the ship
yard Of Mr.. Eckford, and at first designated for a
merchantmen but has lately been converted into a
ship of war, and contracted for by the Colombian
government, to be delivered at Laguira. She is of
i've hundred tons burden strongly built, calculated
for fast sailer, and fitted up in superior style
throughout, carrying "a guns, and bearing the arms
of the COLOMBIAN REpuBLIc. We understand
she is intended to be employed in the service of
ducing the fortress Of Porto Cabello, which is the
Gibraltar of the SOUTH and only be assaulted by
naval force. Her operations and successes in the
Patriot cause will excite peculiar interest in this
country.
The Hercules is commanded by Capt. Austin );
and among the passengers, are Madame Bolivar,
sister to the President of Colombia, with her daugh-
ter and son Col. Duane, late editor of the Aurora,
his daughter and son-in-aw and Mr.. Leavitt, one
of the owners of the Ship
Col. Duane, we learn, will take up his residence
in the Colombian Republic, where he has private
agency, and not in the Mexican Empire, as has
been suggested. He will leave many friends behind
IN the United States, and we hope he may find
many in the country whittier he is going, in the
cause of which he has from the FIRST taken lively
interest, and done more perhaps than any individual
here, towards establishing its independence.
Major General Brown, of the Army Of the U. S.
arrived in this city on Monday last We regret to
learn that he yet suffers from the effects of the
lady with which he was first afflicted about twelve
months ago. Wat. Int.

Indian Treaty--A grand Council OF the chiefs,
warriors, SC Of the Cherokee and Usage Indians,
took place at Fort Smith, the beginning OF this
month, for the purpose of concluding treaty of
peace and amity between the TWO nations. We are
happy to learn, by gentlemen who left there since
the Council broke up that amicable treaty of
peace has been the result of the Council. Cover
nor Miller, Col. Arbuckle, and Col. Bearley, U. s.
Agent of Indian Affairs were present at the Coun-
lcil, and assisted in concluding the treaty.

| A Comet.-Another Comet has made its appea-
rance, which was observed some months since in
Europe, and has lately become visible in this coun-
TRY. The Charleston Courier informs us, that it
is in the southern quarter Of the heavens, and is
passing from West to East with great rapidity,
BY the arrival at this port yesterday OF the hrIg
Spartan, Capt. Soule, on her return voyage from
Lisbon we enabled to announce the safe arrival
tout of our much-esteemed and distinguished fellow
lcitizeE, General HENRY DEARBORN after plea
lssnt passage of about thirty days from this port
His reception at Lisbon, we learn, was such as our
4 countrymen have always received from foreign
courts, when appointed on diplomatic missions, &
such as his advanced age, in connection with the
honorable stations he has filled in this country,
ldered him peculiarly worthy. General Dearborn
and his family were in good health when Capt
