81 Louis, Aug. II.
Broke oui in a fresh ptace.--We learn
by a letter add to the editors of
the Missouri Republican. that "some
Delaware Indians. on their return from
Major Rile,'s detachment" were at
tackled by The Pawnees, and some were
killed ora both sides. The Delawares
state positively, that an express. sent to
Mai Riley with official Communications,
had been killed by the PawDees. The
same letter states, that the circumstan
ces are so strong as to induce the belief
that Cautonment Leavenworth will be
attacked by The Indians, that Lieut.. Lee,
commanding the post, has asked and OBJ
tanned assistance from the citizens, un-
til suitable aid could be obtained, from
Jefferson Barracks.
Gen. lEAvENwoRTH is in the Wes-
Tern part Of The State at present, and if
he should receive intelligence of the
above facts,will no doubt, a1oid that pro.
lection. which shall appear necessary.
The Curacao Coursnt Of the Ist in.
slant, received at the New York Gazette
office, has The following paragraph:
The u S. ship Natchez, Captain
Alexander CIaxton, having on board
II. K. THOMAS P. MoonE and suite,
Miristcr to Columbia, arrived Yesterday

TON. now in comlaand of the American
Squadron on the coast Of Brazil The
NstChez is % days from New York; all
on board in fine health.
Coincidence is a little singular

COLOSSUS and Courier, which arrived
at that port yesterday, sailed from New
York on the same day tor Savannah, ar.
rived al that port together, went to Eu-
rope, one to the Mediterranean and The

we are decided in our wish for a thor.

We are extremely sorry to learn that
the President continues in n bad state
OF health. Cessation from the duties of
his office, pure air, and moderate ex.
%ercise, have been recommended as most
likely TO strengthen his constitution.
For this purpose, and in ordert 10 secure
privacy as much as possible, during his
absence from the seat Of Government,
he will reside on the Rip Rsps, which
is, we are told, a delightful situation,
There it is to be hoped, be will have
some rest from the importunate and
clamorous crowd Of office seekers, which
ILLS bis in Washington, end hangs
upon his skirts wherever he goes.
