Washington reposed confidence in Andrew

Washington reposed confidence in Andrew
Jackson. Men Of high standing, account.
ed heretofore TOO honorable to affix theil
npmes to fs,sehood, or To couDtensnce q
fraud, have sanctioned this double offence
this act of moral and political turpitude. Il
is possible they may free themselves from
the most severe construction which thi:
act justifies, by showing that they them
selves have been imposed upon. But al
though this explanation might lessen tht
hue Of the offence, they can never free
themselves from, the imputaton of having
been more anxious to promote the views
Of a political party, than to select mea ns
Tor the accomplishment of that object
which would not outrage truth nor offend
morality. ,se. 49,.

Important Army movements. We under.
stand that Fort Niagara 10 immediately "a

cond regiment Of United States Infantry
and report says, that this fort will be made
headquarters Of the frontier line of posts
By the Detroit papers, we are informed OF
several new arrangements made by the
War Department, among which are the
re reoccupancy of Fort Dearborn, Chicago J
and Fort Grstiot. But the most importan n,
measure ofthe Department we conc eive to
be, that ofesablishing new post, imme
diately upon the portage between the Fox
and Ouisconsin rivers, in the country ofthe
WiDnebago indians. Permission for this
was obtained ofthe natives, at the late tres.
~ at Green Bay. The post will be called
Fort Winnebago, and is to be garrisoned
by two companies Of the first regiment OF
United States's infantry. This fort will
occupy The only intervening land, a port.
age Of but six miles, between the chnln oi
western lakes and the Mississippi river
The position is about central between Pra
rie du Chen, on the Mississippi, and Green
Bay, and upon the extreme northern verge
OF the mining country. To obtain ces.
sion OF this district TO the United States
was among the objects to be embraced in
tho late tIeaty at Grsen Bay. The pur.
chase was not effected, but permission was
obtained 10 occupy the mining district, un.

vene the ensuing summer, probably at Ga.

time, the Indians propose to inform them
selves OF he numbers of the whites, by &C
tual observation; for which purpose, fifteen
OF their principal men came 10 Detroit, in
the Clay, on their way 10 Washington
They propose visiting, before they roturn,

the large interior towns of the country.

savages, who have heretofore considered
themselves equal in numbers to the whites

We are sorry to state that Don Pablo

from the lamp iron, in the passage Of III:
dwelling house in this city. during a tit o.
arrangement He was gentleman o.
mild and courteous demeanor- His unfor
'unate end las excited much regret, as be
was universally esteemed"
The edter of the National Gaz. adds -
"Ths is truly most lame ntabe suicide
The deceased was a man Of great worth
about forty years Of age, and had been 8
distinguished soldier. He lost an eye from
inflammation produced by cold, twelve
month or moro ago, and in the month o
June last, experienced severe fiji of sick

his spirits we're visible during bis late Wis
