A gentleman arrived in this city on Sat
urday evening last from St. Augustine, in
forming US that intelligence had been rtceiv-
ed at that place from Fort King, stating that
the Indians were putting to death all thcir
children under two years OF aye, meaning
thereby to rid themselves of all cncumbran-
ccs for future desperate struggle; also that
they were making corn in more than ordina-
nv quantities, while the negroes were made
to work very hard under guard of sentinels
placed over them. This intelligence was
received from friendly squaw, who Lad
escaped from the hostile Indians.

tionalist, of May I'D, states That Neah Mic

ed hostilites, and Old Chloe Matilda has
sent in word to Columbus he NunII burn

he would lay waste the country tcNald5

Among the slain, after the battle at Roam
oke, were found the bodies Of Mr. II. Joce
Messrs. Kershaw, A. Hill, and r. GauIcy
Captain Horn and Col Gibson were Nound-
ed, but not killed d, reported.
The Indians have Eutchered GO men, WO-
men and children in Chambers County, AL
ALBANIA, and the whole country from West
Point, is deserted by the whites.
The Greeks. it is said, can muster 10000
warriors AS they have been induced to take
up arms by the successes OF the Seminole:
in Florida, so it is feared, if they should not
soon be put down, the Chcrokces may III
turn soon be stimulated by the example O.
the Creeks.
