The Florida hdidns.--The Southern
tribes Of Florida Indians are stated, in the
ST. Augustine paper of the 9th ult. to
have arrived at t,'ir encamping ground in
the vicinity Of that place, with Miconope
at their head. They amounted 10 up
wards of 400. including few women, ha-
wing left their families at their towns, to
take charge oftheir crops. ; veraI of the
citizens of ST. Augustine had visited the
encampment, and were highly graifed
with the friendly treatment they received
from their red brethren, and the sports
and cerelRonies exhibited by them. The
Commissioners on the part of the United
States had pitched their tents, and erected
their Council House on n beautiful emf
hence near the second landing place on the
north side ofMoMtrie Creek The Indians
were located about eae mile and Il half
from the Commissioners near the lower
crossing place, and on the opposite side OF
the same creek. A public talk was to take
place on the 9th inst. at which the views
of our executive were expected to be dis
closed.
Mr.. Rothschid is said to be the richest
man that ever existed ia England. Report
states that he is unable to estimate the va
lue of his own property. How then can
others do il =? But an assertion has been
ventured that he can at any moment com |
mand fifteen millions sterling more than
sixty six millions of dollars No wonder |
that such man should be- the main spring
fthe stock mark, ts--and a sort of arbter
of The politics of Europe.

pared with the same months OF the last
year. there has been decrease at Boston
of $685.. 333-and at New York of csc, 900
hut at Philadelphia, an increase of S69l,
983-bring for these three ports a decrease
of S532,95O. Mr.. Niles calculates that
" the revenue acciulng will considerably |
fall short of the estimate Of the secretary
of the treasury j; and that, in the present
state of things, it must necessarily decline
year after year. We cannot buy, if we do
NOT sell" But it will be recoiected, that |
the secretary of tie treasury, IN his lasl
saaual report, does make considerable
allow ance for this years elimination OF
imports. Yet five cannot sell abroad, then |
will it produce that very state of things |
which Mr.. \. is so anxious 10 hiring about. !
We must make at nome what we cannot |
buy abroad. We must raise less wheat,
corn, tobacco, rice, &r. sc. aud manufac-
ture more clothes and hontstniIs. We
must partially exchange our ploughshares |
for shuitlrs. VIII not this metainorphosis |
be brought about by the course of nature
and will it not more nearly accommodate
itself to our want, than if it be forced by
any i'll Judged interference on the part of
government Why then new tariff?
