FLoRIpA.-We copy the following
paragraph from the N. Y. Sun of the
2Ist.
Oseola Captured We learn by a
gentleman. (Mr. Dunshe-) who arrived
in this city yesterday. direct from the
seat of war in Florida, that the celvbrat.
ed Seminole chief Oseola. had oe-n
captured by party of Greeks, under
Gen. Jrsup, during an engagement the
day before Mr.. Dunshee left. The in
dividual Creek who succeeded in first
securing the captive, received $1,000
from Gen. J.. and was promoted to a
leutenamy. Gen. Jcsup stated as his
opinion that the war could not now last
fortnight.
We had but moments conversation
with MIR. Dmnshee, and did not learn
further particulars. We are. however,
satisfied that the above intelligence is
strictly authentic.
