INDIAN WAR.

WAsHINGToN, Sunday, July 1st. 1882.
GENrLEMEN--Letters were received
yesterday by the Secretary ut War from
Gen. ATKINSON dated on the Illinois
River on the 18th June. The General
had been joined by Geal. BRADY with
three companies of United States Troops
from Fort Wincbago an his force at the
time of uniting consisted Of upwards Of
three thousand Illinois militia and four
hundred United States soldiers. The
Indians were strongly encamped, at the
four Lakes but the General entertained
10 doubt of being able TO dislodge them.
He had determined to detach half of his
command on the 18th and to follow with
the remainder and stores on the Goth.
So that in all probability the war has
been terminate before this either by the
capture Of BLACK Hawk or his rapid
flight west Of the Mississippi. In the
latter case he will be pursued by the
mounted volunteers and friendly In
dians, with instructions not to return
without destroying or taking him prison.
ed. When hard pressed his own band
will give him up to purchase peace.

PoRrUaAL.--The information receiv.
ed from Lisbon Is important; aud may
be attended with serious consequences
to Don Miguel. 1t is known that large
claims have been made for piracies,
spoliation, and robberies committed by
the Ministers and ships of Portugal on
British subjects; and SO far from the
representations of the Consul General
respecting them having been attended to,
they have been received with insult.
Accordingly government has taken the
only means now in their power of do
ing justice to those who have been plum
dered by the Usurper, aud the Britannia,
Caledonia, Donegal, and TaIavera, line
of bnttls sbipe, have been ordered to
proceed Immediately to the Taxus, with
a large division Of mariners on board, To
take as much as can be got for the pay
ment Of our just demands, which a.

blockade. Capt. Dennis requested to
have communication with his merchant
the captain of the frigate gave him for
reply, that il he was not off Immediately
he would sink him. Capt. Dennis bore
off and went to Palma, but owing to his
being bearded by the frigaic, they would
not grant him produce. He then went
TO Cndiz, and there it was the same thing.
He then went to Porto Santo, and COM

it very much damaged. On the 18th

the American frigate Constellation was
at Funchal Road, and did not acknowl-

got safe TO the Road, and landed the re-

YANKEE VALoR.--At the battle Of Eu-

had hoasted of the extraordinary ieats
they were about to perform were running
the field, Lieut.. Manning sprang forward
in pursuit, directing the platoon which
he commanded to follow him. He did
not cast an eye behind him until he
found the British men all around hinl
and not an American nearer than ono
hundred and fifty yards. He did not
hesitate a moment bat springing at an
officer who was near him, seized him by
the collar, and exclaimed IN harsh
tone, sD-n you sir, you are my prisoper,'
wrested his sword from his grasp, drag
ged him from the house into which Cruz
gor and his York volunteers had thrown
themselves, and keeping his body as a
shield of defence from the heavy hres
from the windows, carried him off with,
out sustaining any. injury. Manning has
often related, that at the moment when
he expected his prisoner would have
made an effort for liberty, he with great
solemnity commenced an enumeration of
his title: Il am sir, Henry Barry, deputy
adjutant general of the British army,
captain in the Odd regiment, secretary
ofthe commandant at Charlie Itown. E.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-Rob5ery.--
We learn that on Saturday night last, a
daring robbery was committed within a
short distance of the turnpike gate at
Shoemakertown, about nine miles from
this city. The person robbed was dro-
yer The was attacked by two persons,
one on horseback, the other on foot
The horse which the drover rode was
taken from him, and about two thousand
dollars in money. The robbers then,
each having horse for himself, procee-
ded on ;-broke open the turnpike gate,
and were soon out of sight. The dro-
yer made some resistance, and his dog
attacked one Of the highwaymen in de-
fence of his master. We have been in
formed that man has been found in u
hay NOV, n few miles from the scene of
the robbery, whose clothes were torn,
and his leg severely bitten. We believe
he has been committed. His arrest will
probably lead to deyelopement of the
whole business. The drover will prob
ably be able to indentify the Williams
They must have spent some time with
him for after taking away his horse
aud money, they took the precaution to
tie him to tree, where he remained un

At the Funeral OF nj. Perier, who at
the time of his disease was at the head
Of the French Ministry,) nj. Dupin pro-
nounced an oration, which was said to
have been the most eloquent on the oc-
casion. He said :-"France has now
lost one of her best citizens, one of the
oldest ard most constant defenders of
her liberties; the man Of our times the
most remarkable for the firmness Of his
character, and the energy Of his opin-
ions. He sought the public good with
that warmth Of sentiment which inspired
him, and that intrepidity which secures
the success Of great resolves. He him.

united to greatness-'Entering into pub

to nothing but to quit it as man of fhon-
orr He kept his word. He commenc-
ed with courage, and sacrificed his life.
Peace maintained without, order kept
up within, credit sustained at great
height, the law common to all, and no
laws of exception-such were the SER
vices he rendered to his country. The
public voice proclaims it; that public
voice which is just towards illustrious
men-at least when they are no more
The spontaneous concourse Of all the
citizens, the universal mourning Of the
great city, Of the city of July, are with
regard to him, the finest funeral oration.
The manifestation of opinion, of SO many
Frenchmen who crowded the way by
which his coffin passed, was new SER
vice rendered to the country. Again,
Perier, thou hast obtained splendid
majority.
