Kingston, (Jnm.,) May 90.
An Inouisition was taken on Monday, on the
wharf of Messrs Stewart, West and Henry, on
view Of the body of named Thomas
Lnring belonging to the American Brigantine
Fanny, lying in this harbor, who IN state OF ne
briefly, the preceding evening, jumped overheard
that vessel He swan to some distance, proceeded
a sloop. aud took hold Of her bobstay, calling
for assistancc-the people IN the Fannys boat,
which was pursuing him, replied :" it is at hand"
lie then was observed to dive, and came up on the
ether side of the sloop, upon which the boat got up
to him. seaman seized him by the hair of his head
and, when the hands were lifting him out OF the
water, they found resistance to their efforts, and, on
succeeding in getting him into the boat, they saw
\ his lex had been bitten off by shark. As they
were conveying him to the Fanny, he uttered the
words OH Cod" and expired. The Jury retur-

threw himself overheard, his leg was taken of by
shark, and he died in consequence.
The declaration, tina, the friends Of Mr.. Adams
believe that his administration will not contru e
longer than the present term, is certainly far from
the fact His friends never more united,
more sspguinc of his reelection, and never more
disposed to accord him every proper support, than
\ at present. They have not doubt OF his success
at second trial, and they have no fear whatever,
that the election will come before Congress as they
are firm in the conviction that the people will decide
it in his favour. The great ado therefore, that is
making to convince the people OF the Tears OF his
friends in his behalf, is only crafty Device to build
up the forlorn hope of opposition. Sratagem in
war often achieves more than strength, and our
political adYersares have practically adopted the
maxim. Trenton IfHs Inner.

received in Washington that the Cherokee Indians
west Of the Mississippi, have declared war against
the Osages, but, though the intercession of COL
Aibucke, hostilities would be delayed three months

agent, as we'll as to receive Instructions from
Washington The cause of the war is said to be the
/ murder by the Osages of two or three Cherokees
and the stealing of several horses somc years since
The Osages have committed another outrage on our
itizens on Red River, by the murder CT three men
BY the name OF Lawrence, engaged in catching wild
horses on the .IVashita, branch of Red River
