The writer of the following. which is from Bells
Weekly Messenger, is very fearful OF the result of
contingency which may indeed happen, but which it
n equally probable will not take place. The landed
interest Of Great Britain win undoubtedly suffer II !
the next season be of abundance but is il not to
be feared that the season may be of scarcity:
event. st not better that the market should
be overstocsed with foreign grain, than that there
should be superaddcd to failure OF the crops at
home, deficiency of bread stufs from abroad
From Bells Weekly Messenger
"lfwc compare tho corn market at the present mo-
ent, and the mportations OF foreign grain, with the
theories and pamphlets of Mr.. Jacob the contrast is
very remarkable. According to ar. Jacuh.s doc
trine. there was scarcely any thing to import from
the Baltic Provinces-the plains of Poland and POM
Crania having been struck with stcrility aud gone
out OF cultivation by the working Of the exclusive sys
ten of Great Britain. But five look at the corn
returns, 1t appears that up TO tue present time i've
hundred thousand quarters of wheat have been ini-
ported, andt is believed from the extensive purcha-
of capitalists that million OF quarters more will
be introduced into our markets III tho course of the
year. Not only does Germany, but the u. States
Of America about to plant the full breast of their
cxuberancc to the furnished lips of their parent and
with sort Of Grecian piety TO feed us out of their
own OVERLOOKING gamers.
1--WE not disposed 20 deny that all this looks re-
mprkably well. and perhaps tho present mo-
mont, the importation may be required; buthow viii it
work against the next harvest, VIII not the great
capitalists possess themselves of immense quantities
ufcorn imported duty free under the present prices
and keep it, after it has been cleared out of the ware
houses for the next year; And should the coming
sgason be n season of abundance. how drcadiuy will
the landed interest suffer from the competition of
foreign corn unchecked by any duty in the home
market"
Sonthrnestera E'ont;er.-'Fho Arkansas Gazette
has ,count of the early troubles that frontier.
Unhappily the upprincpled whites, who niest the
borders, have frequently been known to disguise
themselves and attack the settlers and thus afford
the pretext Tor retaliation upon the unoffending In
dians:--
1.-The Gazette says. the supposed situation of the
frontier settlements Of this Territory. particularly
those on our southwestern border, calls loudly for
more efficient protection from the government
Within tho last year. have had occasion To notice
several Instances OF murder and robbery, which hay Q
been committed on persons amt property of our
citizens by the numerous herdcs of Indians who
lnhobit the country bordering on the southwes-
torn part of this Territory.
Scarcely hunting party go beyond the settle
Iuens, without encountering the hostility OF the In
dams; and there have been several Instances of thuI
penetrating into the settlements, and committing
E1urdersand robberes. Only last week, were
again called To notice fresh aggression on 4
small party of hunters, iii which four out of five of
the persons composing the party. we're killed.
To such an alarming extent have the depredations
OF the Indians been carried that many people resi-
aing on the frontier arc apprehensIvc tia. comb
ned and systematic attack will be made in the spring,
II not earlier. Those apprehcnsioDs, We fear, arc
top well founded.
