The following is the first we have heard of the
matter to which it relates:
SrAuNroN, VA June 8.
Col. Armstead and Capt. Gardner, OF the u.
States Army, were in this place few day ago,
on their way to North Carolina. We understand
their business is to expel some Georg,ans (sald
to be about 200 in number) who have entered on
the Indian lands in that State, to search for gold
Representation of the fact, we learn, was made
by the Governor of North Carolina to the Pres-
dent of the United States Two companies OF
troops are on their march from Charleston, 5. &.
to the scene Of action .-Spectafor.
A Fatal Renconfre. Mil!edgeville Jour-
nal Of the SOth ult. says-It is our painful lot to
announce most tragical rencontre that took
place at Macon, last Sunday evening, between
Heman Marks and Lewis Washington. about the
same age, neither of them probably much over
81. They met. perhaps by accident, at con
DICTIONARY shop, and after some warm words,
Marks received from Washington pistol snot
full in his breast, and Immediately expired.
The Board of Examiners of the West Point
Military Academy are now IN session. They
commenced their ahors on Monday last. The
Board was organized by the choice OF Major &c
neral Macomb as President
A London paper OF the 5th ult. states that the
Rev. G G. Cotton. the author of LacOn. put Il
period to his existence on Saturday, at Fontan-
bleau. The dread of undergoing surgical ope-
ration, is the cause assigned for committing this
melancholy act
From tie Cape de Ierds.-We have been ia
voreJ. says the Newburyport Herald. with the
inspection of letter, from the American Coun
sui, at Villa de Praya, ST. Jsso, dated 29th
April.- From this we learn that the inhabitants
in Fogo an island in the neighborhood, contain
ing 10000 people, were on the verge of starva-
ton; that the survivors were so weak and enact
ated as hardly to be able to hurry their dead
Every thing in the shape OF crop had entirely
failed, owing to the absence of rain for whole
year. The provisions on the Island would not
suffice for a weeks sustenance; and all that was
carried there came from st. Ja-o, which was
poorly able to supply it, The Portuguese govern,
ment was too wretched to afford any present aid.
The commandment Of the U States Ship Peacock
had touched at St Jago and left there $50 of the
Islanders, with small supply Of proyision.-
The letter states that without rain, St. Jago will
be shortly in condition quite as VT etched as
Foso.
