81. Louis, Sept. 2.-Covernor Clark.
the commissioner appointed in con-
junction with Governor Cass, to treat
with the Indians at Prairie du Chen,
returned to ST. Louis on Saturday eve
ming, accompanied by Major fiddle,
Secretary to the Com missioners. We
are happy 10 state that the objects OF
the expedition have been completely
effected; to wit, the restoration of peace
to the various Indian tribes interested,
and the definite settlement Of the limits
and boundary lines to their lands. The
commissioners met at the Prairie about
the last of July, Governor Cass having
reached there by way of the Fox and
Ouisconsin rivers, and Immediately en-
tered upon the performance Of the du-
ties before them, which occupied them
between ten and twelve days. The al
fairs Of the Sioux appeared to occupy
the principal attention of the Council,
as they were more or less involved in
disputes with all the other nations who
attended the conferences. After a pa
tient hearing Of the pretensions Of each
party, and close investigation oftheir
respective claims, the boundaries of
the Sioux and Chippewas were adjust
ed, and peace made between them
The same was also done between the
Foxes, Sacks, and Ioways, on the one
part, and the Sioux. subject however to
the assent ofthe Yancton Sioux, as re-
spects their dividing lines on the Mis-
souri,, which last mentioned band was
not represented in the council. The
Winnebagoes and Menonimas were not
very definite in their claims, but il is
supposed will enjoy the country which
they occupy as common stock. The
Pottawatamies and Gttawas attach
themselves pretty much to the Chip.

A letter. from Cadiz Of the nth Aug.
confirms the previous accounts receiv-
ed through the London and Paris pa
pers, Of the ablect state OF the Penlnsn-
la. Ferdinand, states the writer, is To-
sing his power, and cabas are formed
in favor OF his brother, whose wife he
has seduced. At Cadiz-
"rhe quarantine laws are very severe.
No vessel from N. York and the ports
south of ii, can enter the harbor until
the Goth November. Vessels from
Gibraltar perform eight days quaran-
tine, from Malaga and other ports OF
the Mediterranean fourteen days, from
Boston, and our northern ports, ten
DAYS, if not containing cotton or colo
NAL produce. The ship Factor Of Sa-
lem, capt. Floyd, from Antwerp in
ballast, is not allowed any communica-
ton with tie shore, because she had
landed cargo at Antwerp from Ha-
vana. No British man Of war is al
lowed to anchor until examined by the
health boat. These restrictions, com
bined with many others, have reduced
the trade Of Cadiz TO nothing; the walls
of the city are falling down in many
places, and almost every house has a
bill upon ii for sale or 10 iet."

According to the last news from
Mr.. Austin's settlement on the Brazos.
this colony is in thriving condition.
The news Of their having been distress
ed by an inundation and reduced to
great want, in consequence, seems to
have had no foundation. The settle.
ment is represented TO consist of about
500 families; to be now exempt from
epidemical disasters, and as TO the
crops, we have been assured, by gen.
tleman now in this place, that their
corn surpassed any thing he had seen
on the richest Mississippi and Red
River soils, and that the cotton, equal
in quantity TO the Red River, was To-
tally exempt from rot.
Another new settlement on the plan
of Mr.. Austin's, is about to he com
menced in Texas, under the auspices
Of Mr.. Haden Edwards, who has OBJ
tanned from the government an exten.
sive grant in that state.
In the Reports Of the Commission
ers of Georgia on the Creek affairs,
to the Governor Of The State, the Rev.
Mr.. Smith, a. Methodist missionary to

having been guilty Of improper con-

the nation, during their investigation.
In consequence of these accusations
Mr.. Smith has been tried before the
Church, and, after full and impartial
hearing of all thu charges urged a.
gainst him, unanimously cleared.

In the Natchitoches LA. Courier Of
August %, we find the following &C
count of the arrival of a MaLade from
New Mexico. Natchitoches lies on
the boundary line between Louisiana
and Texas, and is, Of course, tho
roughfare for all traffic by the southern
route between New Mexico and the u
nited States. The result of the jour.
ney, which is furnished below, is very
gratifying, and may serve as set of
to the gloomy tone Of the article which
we noticed yesterday on the subject OF
the trade between Missouri and Santa
Fe. 1t appears that if the citizens OF
the United States should feel disheart-
ened and disposed to abandon this trade,
those of Mexico will be ready to en-
bark in it with degree of spirit which
will deserve, and, we doubt not, ensure
success: Baltimore american.
TRADE WITH THE MEXICAN STATES.
"1'he largest Mulade or drove of
Mules perhaps ever driven through this
place, arrived here a few weeks ago,
and left here last Tuesday, part for N.
Orleans, and part for Matches.
1t is composed Of t,oelve hundred
Mules, all in prime order, and was
brought in under the care of about 80
men, caporals, drivers or Swimmers, COM
manded by A. A. de la Llata, one of the
proprietors, and a citizen Of the state
of Tamanlipas, from whence the Mules
are imported In performing the la
borious task of driving that immense
number Of Mules through such an ex-
tensive wilderness, they had every night
to erect temporary enclosure to Sc
cure them from being carried off by
the Estampillu, or gangs of wild horses
and mules. In the swimming Of the
many rivers that intervene, The greatest
hardships and dangers were encounter
ed and completely overcome, by this
hardy band of adventures. Of the
number oi'twelve hundred, only about
twenty-five mules had been lost on their
arrival at Na,chitoches, either in the
swimming Of rivers or in consequence
Of fatigue.
Besides this considerable branch Of
commerce with the Mexican states, of
exchanging our goods for their mules
and horses, bullion or dollars, which
has long since been carried on by this
town, another has lately opened. The
inhabitants of the state of Texas, which
has united its provisional or state 60
vernment with that of Tamanlipas,
have commenced the importation 10
Natchitoches Of their Cotton, of which
they raised last year a considerable
quantity, which will doubtless, from
the rapid settlement Of that country,
increase at every crop in double ra-.
ito for many years.
1t however, the increase should be-
come such as to induce the govern
ment to establish a custom house here
and exact the duty of three cents
