We are in state Of CONSERVATION and
dismay. The Indians have broken in up
on the settlements at New River and
Cape Florida, and plundered. destroyed
aud laid waste every thing that came in
their way. We have been expecting an
a,tack here for the last ten days, and have
made the best preparation that we could
to receive the enemy-by throwing up
breast works which will protect us so long
as we can prevent them from landing
but our feeble force will be nothing if
they succeed in etfecting landing. We
are nearly worn out and exhausted from
having been compelled TO keep watch
every night.
The Indians have collected consider.
able force at Cape Sable and New River.
and it is at these two points that they in
tend To make a stand. On the 9th in
stan. they commenced their hostli,ies up.

that quarter. Our army is scattered over
an immense frontier. and the posts il oc.

Withdrawn. without almost certainly
leading To Indian disturbances.
We understand that such is the naked
state of the sesboard. that there is not a

The fnrce at present in East Florida,
is too small to compete with The Indians,
rhose strength and spirit have been alike
moderated. We are most thankful for
the aid already afforded US by Gen.
Call, and the Volunteers from the West
for that promised from South Carolins

nut be concealed. that the United States

the aid Of the militia, and with foreign
assistance. would be unable IN put an end
to the war. and repel the bsrbarians. To
eiIec, these objects, between two and
three thousand regulars, (some judicious
persons think more) would be required,
ingether with the aid Of naval force in
the seas around the Peninsula. The
country is admirably c2Lcv lated for the
Indian mode SISarfa U Of ham
Knocks, sw rs. and fglades. Il
seems to my military ryhd. tina, the
Indians can only be reduced by drawing
a Gordon across the Peninsula, and hem
ming them in, with the aid of vessels oil
war. But whatever be the plan Of opera.
lions, it should be quickly devised, and
promptly pursued. There are now about
400 negroes. perhaps more. in the hands
o! the Indians. The whole Of East Flo-
rida is very much at the mercy Of the
enemy-and there are only four months
within which we may prosecute a wal

safety to the health Of our troops"
