NEW YORK, April &c.
The ship Stephania in 90 days from Havre,
brings Paris papers to the 25th uIt.
The French government, according to. let
tiers from the most respectable sources was
about TO acknowledge the Independence of

pursue the policy of England, by acknowl-
edgng and opening commercial intercourse
with the late Spanish South American States
The new Frerch Parliament was opened by
the King in person. In his speech, he con-
graduates France on the success which has
attended her generous efforts in restoring
Spain 10 her King, and states that the remain
der OF the French army will return as soon as
the internal tranquility fSpain is established.
In the Chamber of Deputies, it appears
there are only about twenty opposition, or
liberal members.
1t was reported at Genoa, March 9th that,
the Algerines had taken 10 Spanish vessels,
and had landed on tho coast Of Valencia, and
carried off al persons, men, women and chill
dren.

favourable to the cause of that country. Pa

HORRlD BARBARITY.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 81

INDIANAPOLIS, March 80.
1t becomes our painful duty to record
one OF the most outrageous transactions
that has occurred since the settlement
of the State. We have been enabled to
collect the following particulars, from
the information of a traveller who has
just passed through the neighbourhood.
and in whose varacity we place the ut
most confidence -
ltseams that party of Indians, len
in number, consisting of three men,
three women, two girls about hall'grown
and two snail boys, were encamped on
Fall creek, in Madison county, about
eight miles above the Falls, and thirty
five miles above this place, for the pur-
pose OF hunting. On Monday, The god
OF this instant, aparty of five men and
two boys went TO the camp and decoy-
ed the three men away from the camp,
for the ostensblc purpose of assisting
them TO hunt some cattle After they
had gone some distance from the camp,
two Of the Indians were shot dead-the
third made his escape, badly wounded.

DE WITT CLINTON.

The account of the removal of De WIKI
Clinton from the office ofCanal Commissioner
has been received, in every quarter, with de-
Cided marks of establishment and disapproba.
ton. For fourteen years he had devoted his
time, and the whole energies of his powerful
mind to the duties of the Office, and to his ex-
ertions and his perseverance the state of New
York probably is indebted for that stupcn-
dous work, which will soon mingle the waters
of the Ocean with the Lakes, and which, in
ten years will have advanced her trade and
her wealth more than half century would
have done without it. Yet for these services
he has never asked nor received,a single cent
of compensation from the State, and no charge
OF misconduct has ever been alleged against
him.
Under such circumstances, il would be diff
cult for any one, not particularly acquainted
with the politics Of that state, TO account for
so strange an act. Some represent it as a
trick Of the seventeen Senators who had SO
grossly outraged public opinion by defeating
the electoral law,t fS upon their opponents
the stigma Of Clintonianism. The resolution
was introduced aud passed about bal All hour
before adjournment and was the last public
act Of that body.
Public meetings have been held in various
parts of the State TO express their disappro ba-

In the evening of the same day, the
same party returned to the camp, and
after making some professions of friend
ship, murdered the whole OF the women
and children. Their bodies were most
shockingly mangled, for the purpose OF
producing an impression that il was the
work of Indians, and thrown into hole
OF water, occasioned by the falling of a
tree. One of the men killed one of the
children by taking it by the heels and
beating its brains oat against tree
Oa Tuesday, the place was visited by a
party OF men, when one of the wome n
was found still alive, but died on the
evening of the next day. At the time
the Camp was first visited, after The mas
sacre, the property of the Indians. con-
sisting ofguns, skins, furs, &c. was still at
the camp and was left there unmolested,
but on the succeeding day, when the
place was visited by party of men
from the falls of Fall Creek, the bodies
were found entirely stripped, and every
species ofproperty carried away.
Na are further informed, that one of
The lads concerned in the murder, (and
who was compelled to assist, BY the
threats of his fathcr,) soon after the
transaction, gave information. and FIVE
OF the party concerned were immedi-
ately arrested, and are now in custody
at the falls of Fall Creek. one made his
escape, and the youth who gave the
information is said TO be at liherlyin the
neighbourhood Since their arrest, it
is said that the persons have made a
full confession.
All the families composing the settle
ment, in the neighbourhood of the scene
of this horrible transaction, have remov-
ed to the mills, at the falls on Fall Creek,
to avoid the retaliatory vengeance of
the Indians.

This case was the violation of the law
which obiiges all drivers of Wagons,
and carriages Of any description, to
keep 10 the right of the centre of a
wheel road. The plaintiff was riding
into the city, on the Mill Dam and met
the defendant on meat or butchers
Wagon. 1t was proved that the plain
tiff was on the right of the centre of
the road, near the railing, and that the
defendant was driving his Wagon on
the left of the centre Of the road, and
not giving way sufficiently 10 the right
to let the plaintiff pass, which he had
ample room 10 do, and which he was
bound by law as well as courtesy TO DO,
came purposely,and with design, in con-
tact with the plaintiff s cbaise, struck
the hub of the wheel viol ent blow. so
as nearly TO pitch him out of it. The
court finding the facts substantiated, and
considering ii a gross and wanton viola
ton Of the law, the practice of which
tends 10 endanger the life and limbs OF
travellers, fined the defendant ten dol
lars and the cost of prosecution.

Albany are said to have been the largest o
the kind ever known in those cities and were
composed of men of all parties. Resolution:
approving of the services of DE Witt Clinton
and condemning, in strong terms, his removal
were unanimously passed. At New York it
was supposed that ten thousand people were
present, who. after the business was finished
gave nine cheers and quietly dispersed.
CoNGREss.-The Tariff Bill, as passed in
the House, has been read first and second
time in the Senate when it was moved to re-
fer il to the committee Of finance. This mo-
ticn was opposed by the friends OF the bill, on
the ground that the proper reference was to
the committee of commerce and manufactures,
and was decided in the negative, Ayes 90,

the fate of the Bill, giving it one major

appointed in Illinois who is also friendly 10
the passage Of the Bill.

II. Crawford, Secretary of the Treasury, TO
the House, in which the truth Of some state
ments of the Ex-senator, before a committee
Of the House, is called ill question. In his
Justification, he makes several important
charges against the Secretary and asks for an
investigation. The memorial was referred to
committee who are authorized to send for
persons and papers. The following are the
charges.
''lst. That the Hon. William II. Crawford
Secretary of the Treasury, has mismanagod
the National Funds:
"2d That he has received large amount of
uncurrent notes, from certain banks in part
discharge of their debts to the United States,
contrary to the resolution of Congress Of 1916.
"3d. That, being called on by resolution
ofthc House of Representatives, to state the
amount of uncurrent notes, which he received
from those banks, he has misstated it, by MAX
ing it less than il really was:
18th. That he has, in his report to the
House, misrepresented the obligations of those
banks, or some one of them, at least, and pre-
Dictated thereon an indefensible excuse for his
conduct, in receiving those uncurrent notes {:
6 5th. That he has acted illegally, in va
riety of instances. by making, and continuing,
deposits of public money, in certain local
banks, without making report thereof to Con-
gress, according to law:
"6th. That he has, in several instances,
withheld information and letters, called for
by the House, and which it was his duty to
have communicated"
A resolution has passed the Senate fixing on
the 18th ofnext month, for recess, but it is
supposed that later day will be substituted

SOUTH AMERICA,

The Bogola Gazette of the 25th Jan.
furnishes advices from Bolivar, as late
as the 26th Dec. Riva Aguera's defec-
ton and Santa Cruz's retreat are said
to have prevented him from opening
the campaign; bnt, it is added, that the
division of auxiliaries from Chill, con-
sistlng of $500 men to be followed by
800 horses, had arrived at CaIIao, and
that Santa Cruz remained in africa with
strong column. The attention OF
the enemy was occupied by him, and
the divisions Of Colonies LAM and Urdi
minea, who were operating in the pro-
Vinces of High Peru. 1t is already
known that Riva Aguero was taken pris-
Oner, aud that bis division of 1000 men
had joined the troops of Bolivar. The
Constitution Of Peru was enacted on the
18th Nov. and published on the Goth.
1t is popular and representative and
nearly akin 10 that of the United. States.

BosToN, April "a.

- By the arrival from Liverpool of the
ship Amethyst, accounts have been re-
ceived to the 9Th of March.
1t would seem that the affairs Of the
Greeks are in a thriving way--they
have adopted the English system of mil
itary organization for their army-and
practice their troops upon the princi-
piles Of modern tactics no recent
events Of warlike nature had taken
9lace, In the mean time the differences
between the Turks and Russians had
been accommodated.
BY an arrival from Smyrna, VIC have
advices to Feb. 9Th, afIording some par
Iicuars from the Oriental Spectator, re-
iating to the condition of the Morea.
No Intelligence of the restoration of
peace between the Turks and the Per-
slams is contained in the Spectator. On
the contrary, it is mentioned, under date
of Guesilar, Jan. II, that the Persians
were marching in three corps, one of
which, after an action, had entered Chom
and another had occupied Bagdad with
out Whatever doubts may
be attached TO this information, it APP
pearcd that preparations for this war
were going on at Constautnople.
The papers contain a variety Of intel
ligence from different parts of Greece,
Of which we can give but brief notice
at present. Ii is stated that an Egyp-
tian squadron, under the command of
son of the Viceroy of Egypt, arrived in
Gambia about the middle of January,
with a reinforcement of 5000 troops,
and entered the port of Suda, with an
abundant supply of provisions and mu-
nitions Of war. The squadron consisted
oftourteen vessels of war besides trans
ports. 1t was said that after accom-
pllshing the object of the expedition in
that island, they would proceed to Pa
tras, TO raise the siege of that place.
The Turks are represented as entirely
successful in the island of Gambia.
1t was reported that Patras was maxi
ing dispositions to capiiulale for want
of provisions. Prince Maurocordato was
at Missolonghi, uperinlcnding the form
alton of the regular troops. The great
er part Of the Island of Negropont was
occupied by the Greeks. Omer Pacha
commanded the fortress of Negropont,
but bad not sufficient strength to attempt
any Thing in relief of Carysto. This
latter place was besieged by Ulysses,
and Suffered severely from the plague
Formidable preparations were making
at Constantinople for the fourth cam
paign against the Greeks. 1t is said
10000 men would march against the Mo-
rea, independently of the squadron.
BRtssELs, March 5.
Recent letters from the Archipelago,
state that the Greeks have again made
a landing, 26 leagues to the north Of
Smyrna: that they levied large contri-
buttons and required large quantity OF
provisions, after which they re-embark-
ed. Other points on the coast of Asia
Minor have likewise been disturbed by
the Greeks, who, being masters of the
sea, seize the richest Turks in Natolla,
who are obliged to pay large ransoms.
