The Florida WU.--The Washington
esrondcnt of the New York Courier
says, that letter had been received at the
scat of government from Gen. Jesup, dat
ed Tampa Bay, December 9th, which
states that the General has established sew.
eral new depots, and will doubtless in a
short time bring the war 10 close. Now
this same story has been told by Clinch, by
Gaines, by Scott, by Call, by Jessup; yet
our impression is, the war is as near an
end, and no nearer now than it was under
Clinch. Jesup will no doubt do as gallant.
ly as those officers who have preceded
him, and yet be long while ere nc brings
the war to successful close.--Penn.
Sent.
From Norida.---The Globe contains TWO
dispatches from Gen. Jesup, both dated
Fort Brooke, ampa Bay, Dec. 23. He
states that his Indian scouts and spies, al.
though constantly employed since the 18th
at or near any Of the strong holds on the
Wythlacoochce that the trails were all in
a southerly direction, and his presumption
was that Oscola, (wholn, by the way, Cap.
tain Hitchcock calls Assiola,.) if not deser.
ted by his followers, had gone TO Join Mi
canopy, Jumper and Philip, and compel
them 10 resume hostilities, by drawing the
war into their ncighborhood.
Brig. Gen. Armstead was left in CON-
mand on the ythlacoochce, with orders
to scour the country between that river and
Fort cling. Ii. Col. Foster had been Or
dered to erect q work OH the river, at the
point where crossed by the Fort King road
and u wagon train was to leave Fort
Brooke on the 24ih, to supply this new
work with subsistence. forage, tools, &c.
Between Fort Brooke AID the new work,
25 miles from the former, and % miles
from the latter, is Fort Foster; and this,
with the new work and Fort Armstrong,
Is miles further north, the post at Vousia
and that near the mouth of the river, is
thought by Gen. Jesup sufficient Cor the
present.
Commodore Dallas arrived at Fort
Brooks OH the ODD, and had offered 10 fur
nish men from the vessels under his CON-
mand, to defend the depo.s, or perform a.
ny other service at the posts, or in water
expeditions, which might he thought neces-
sary. The offer was gladly accepted. An
officer with party Of sailors, was to ascer.
lain the practicability Of navigating the riv-
er, and Forl Clinch, near its mouth, would
be garrisoned by marines from the naval
force under the command of Commodore
Dallas.
Major Nelson arrived from Fort Clinch
on the evening of the 23d, with four CON-
panies Of mounted volunteers-and these
with the Alabama volunteers, increased
General Jesup's mounted force to nearly
600.
Gen. Jcsup adds:
You shall not be disappointed in my eff.
forts, though you may be in their results.
The country is 80 extensive, and contains
SO many hiding places for large as well as
small parties, that the enemy may escape
me.

Distressing Occurrence.-On Friday last
q most melancholy accident happened on
the river St. Lawrence, about three miles
above this town, by which four individuals
met with watery grave. Six persons, all
residents in this village and its vicinity, left
French Creek on Thursday last, in a small
boat, with the intention of proceeding to
their several homes TO spend the holidays.
They arrived at Oak Point, small settle
ment on the American shore, five miles a.
bove Brockvillc, on that evening, where,
being exhausted by the cold, ard standing
in need Of rcfreshment, they determined TO
pass the night. Two Of the party consid-

were distinctly heard, and he was seen to
make every signal in his power for assist.

afforded him in season; some minutes G.
lapsed before boat could be procured, and
then considerable delay took place in get

mile into the river. Although every exer-
ton was used, still, owing 10 the heavy surf
that ran, and the intensity of the cold, the
last man sunk before any effectual aid could
be rendered. The deceased were all re-
spectacle mechanics, and generally cstcem-
ed throughout the circles in which they
moved. Three of them have left wives
and children who were dependent upon
their industry for support.

Pilot System-Merico q. Bristol.-The
Grand Jury of New. Y ork, says the Evening
Star, have presented the Pilot System as
being inefficient, and offering no security or
advantage TO vessels bound into that port.
After inquiring into the loss of the Bristol
and Mexico, the Jury pronounced that those
dreadful accidents might have been avoid
cd by caution on the part Of the officers and
crew Of the vessels. From tho statement
of the Jury, il appears forty years ago the
number of Pilots at this port was 30; in
1918, when the present system was framed
there were 3S, and now they are limi ! by
law to 60, Of which only 50 arc competent
to duty. There are pilots, to which there
are attached from thrco to five apprentices,
who, after service of five years are con.
sdcrcd competent to act as pilots--bui from
the working of the present system after q
labor Of years, exposed to all weaihcrs and
hardships, they are denied the right of ex-
ercising vocation for which they have
been prepared by excessive Toll and excr.

The Sarah Ann, from Tampico, has
brought $3.50 400, on account of our NOR
chants, Of which $4,000 are for ihe house
of L'zardi. The accounts from Tampco
arc to the Goth ult., and state that the ar.
rests had continued 10 the oath. The num-
Der of individuals implicated in the conspi.
rucy amounted TO Ga; forty.onc of whom
are confined in the barracks and private
houses under guard--the remainder were
in the calaJozcs. Mr.. Rosel, merchant,
who was taken with the conspirators on
the night of the l4th, and placed in the
calabozo had obtained his liberty, on Civ.
ing security for 100000. The whole
town of Tampico was in a state of conster.
nation, and Gov. Piedra himself was per-
picked, not knowing how TO act with so ma
ny prisoners as no less than one humid
red and fifty persons were implicated in the
plot.
The accounts from the city of Mexico
are TO the l0,h of December. Mr.. Goro.

the United States, and had given to the

the manner in which he had been treated
by the cabinet at Washington, and by the
Americans. In the opinion Of this gentle
man, the war against Texas ought to be
carried on, whatever may be the eX-
pense or sacrifice, as soon as the wea.
Their will permit it; and his opinion
is UNANIMOUSLY approved by the minis
tiers.
The important intelligence Of the arri-
val Of Bustamente at Vera Cruz, has been
received in the city Of Mexico, and cele.
brated by his partizans with the greatest
enthusiasm. His reception at Vera Cruz,
it is stated, was enthusiastic, which shows
that the Mexicans have not forgotten the
state Of peace and prosperity which the ma.
ton at large enjoyed, under his wise ad-
ministration, and which the factious Santa
Anna destroyed, TO substitute for it mill
tary despotism and brigandage. Busta.
