Unfortunate occurrences learn
that colored man represented to be a
halt Indian, was instantly killed at the
house OF Mrs. Cole, in Clinton county
IN this state, on the 18th instant, by the
Rev. Joseph Folks, preacher of the
Methodist connexion. The circumstan-
ces connected with this affair are related
to US as follows: Mr.. Folks had called
upon Mrs. Cole, and she had represent
ed to hm the bad conduct of the man
who was servant in her family, and Mr.
Folks incidentally remarked that those
kind OF persons did not know " hen they
were well treated. This remark OF MIR,
Folks was communicated to the Indian,
who became very much enraged, and
swore he would take his lille. The
morning after the conversation, the In
dian entered the house and inquired for
the preacher, and declared his intention
OF spilling blood. His threats were
communicated TO Mr.. F. by Mrs. Cole,
who was we'll aware OF the Indians dis.

OF his way Mr.. I after some time came
down stairs, when The Indian was seen
advancing with his rifle, declaring his
intention OF killing Mr.. L who, upon
Selling loaded gun which happened to
be over the door, retreated up stairs, and

in the chamber. He was shortly fol-

killed him. Mr.. Folks has, for the last

has been thoroughly Investigated, which
resulted in his acqunlal.

BY the charter no more

But as it is not probable that more han

hung together however, long enough
TO drag the passengers two or three
rods, when ii separated, and the horses
ran off with the wheels. The top was
literally broken into pieces small e.
nough for oven wood, and it is astonish-
ing that the passengers all escaped with
HE. But one, however, name not rec
objected, was SO much hurt as to be
Obliged TO stop. A clergyman, Mr.. Rob
inson, received deep cut in the head;
and Mr. Livingston, of New.Orleans,
member of Congress, and Mr.. Temple,
OF Vermont, received severe Commissions
upon their legs. The other passen-
gers escaped unhurt. The driver may
be some TO blame, perhaps, for driving
SO fast down "a bad bill, but his excuse
is, that the horses were FESTIVE, so that
he could moi keep them in the road
without going fast. Ibid.

Having learnt that the immolation Of a Hin
doc Widow on the Funeral Pile Of her Hus-
band was TO take place at Kalee Chant on the
Goth Of June, and never having been present
at similar spectacle, felt anxious for once
to witness the mode in which this inhuman
sacrifice was conducted, with view to judge,
if circumstances permitted, how far the act was
voluntary one on the part of the deludcd
victim, as well as to note the behaviour Of the
parents interested in promoting It.

q y
mese troops were assembled higher up
the country, and they were strongly en-
trenching at Ava, and Amrapoora.
There is no confirmation Of the report
that the court of Ava had made oyertures
OF peace; on the contrary, it is dozen
times repeated, in letters from Prone,
to July %, that not the slightest dispose
ton to make such overlures was shown.
1t would seem, therefore, that the let
ter from Calcutta, of May 22, announcing
the release of Mr.. .Judson, the American
Missionary, and his wife, and that they
were on their way TO the British camp as
bearers of proposals of peace, must have
been founded on erroneous intelligence.
We do not find any mention of Mr.. judi
son In these papers.
1t was at one lime asserted that the
Slamese had joined the Burmese in the
war, and that their troops had taken the
held. BUTT proved to be only the Shau-
mese, the inhabitants of northern Bur-
man province, tributary to the King of
Ava.-The people of Siam remained on
friendly terms with the British. 1t is
said that the war is not popular with the
people Of Burmab, that they are paci6-
cal!y inclined, but that the court is obsti-
nate. and will not yield.
From BATAvIA.-The ship Romulus,
Roberts, at New-Yolk from Batavia,
briggs intelligence that accounts had
reached Batavia on the 9th September,
that on the Cd Of the same month, at a
place called Denmark, about II miles
east OF Samarang, numerous party of
the natives collected with hostile inten-
lions. The authorities of Samarang
called out volunteer corps of Cavalry,
formed OF the young men, mostly mer-
chants, TO attack the Insurgents, with
100 seamen, and few native troops.
When they came in sight of the enemy,
they found them to consist OF from three
TO five thousand men under arms, drawn
up in three columns. The European
commander orderered his men to attack,
and the insurgents were in motion 10
receive them. A small body of cavalry,
% in number, inexperienced, both men
and horses, were ordered to charge un-
equal numbers. when. they were imme-
dIately thrown into confusion, and two
were killed by the first discharge from
the insurgents, who in return charged
on the cavalry with their Cossack
spears, when the cavalry made an at
tempt 10 retreat, but being surrounded.
they endeavoured TO pass body of men
who occupied the road between them
and Samarang; the attempt was unfor-
tunate, as several of the horses fell. and
threw their riders into the soft and
broken grounds of the rice fields, and
were instantly speared by the enemy.
The remainder returned to their former
situation and cut their way through the
enemy and reached Samarang. Fourteen
were killed and missing, seven of whom
were respectable young men, agents of
English and Scotch houses at Batavia
The whole effective force of the Euro.
pean troops throughout the Island does
not exceed 5000 men. The citizens of
Batavia were all on military duty, and
had to stand regular guards as common
soldiers. 1t seems that the rebels, as
they are called, amount to 10 or 10000
men, and were principally from the dis
trict of Seran. [DaS. .Adv.

Colombia and Merico.-A treaty of
perpetual union, league, and confedera-
ton, between the Republics of Colon
bia and Mexico, was published at the
city of Mexico, on the Goth of Septem-
Der. In this treaty each of the two
powers agrees TO aid the other in re-
pelllng any attack or invasion, that may
menace ils security or independence /;
and this applies not merely to foreign
invasion, but, if the internal quiet should
be disturbed in the territory of either
party, the other engages TO make com
mon cause against the rebels until order
is re-established.
The 18th article of the treaty pro-
vides for the formation of "a Congress,
to which each party is to send two
plenipotentiaries, and in the subsequent
articles both parties oblige themselves
TO solicit the other ci-devant Spanish
States of America to join the league, and
send plenipoteutiaries TO a general Con.
gress Of the American States, which, ii
is proposed, shall assemble regularly on
the isihmus of Panama. The object of
this Congress will be {" to confirm and es.
tabllsh intimate relations between the
whole and each one of the States to
serve as council on great occasions; a
point OF union in common danger; a
faithful interpreter Of public treaties, in
cases of misunderstanding; and as an
arbitrator and conciliator of disputes ant
differences
AS no mention is made of the United
States in any part of the treaty, we pre-.
sumo that II is not expected that oul
government will send deputies to the
permanent Congress, which will proba
oily be confined 10 the Spanish PROVING
