 We are informed that regiment of troops is hourly expected from ss. Louis, and as great number as can be spared was to have been sent down in the Huntsville from Baton Rouge yesterday. A concentration of these forces here will probably amount to TOO mon. and these joined to 3G0 volunteers, which 1t is expected will be raised here, making alto gether 1000, will be despatched for Florida i in the course of few days. This body, act ling in concert with the troops already in Fle- lrda, should be sufficient for the extermina- Etion of the Seminoles; q measure which could hardly be desired, but which at present seems to be the only esfe calculated to ensure per imanent peace.
