Nothing definite has been recently heard OF
the fugitive Creeks in West Florida, between
the Yellow Water and Chocktahatchic rivers.
They have not complied with their engage
ment TO come inland considerable numbers of
them are known To be about Mallet's Landing,
on one Of the arms of Chocktahatchie Bay
They do no violence, except stealing cattle,
&c. for food Their object is concealment-
and the country they have selected, is an I'M
broken wilderness for forty miles. Major Viii
son, of the u. 5. Army, has been clothed with
authority TO search them out, and convey them
TO Mobile Point, To Join the emigrants now en-
camped there. There are still, we regret TO
learn, considerable cumbersome say two or
three hundreds of Creeks lurking ia scattered
parties, in the Swamps Of the Creek country.
There will be trouble yet i'll driving them out.
The New ORLEANS submissive have
been much surprised in looking at the various
amounts for which the several houses in New
Orleans have stopped payment Ii is repre-
scented that Herman, Briggs Co. stop for six
million and half ofdollars; Thomas Barrett &
Co. are indebted to the amount of three mill
ions and half; Samuel Herman & Sons about
three millions; Brander, McKenna g. Wright,
over three millions and a half; Buchanan, Ha-
gar & Co half million; Bier and Steever half
a million, besides many suspendiDg for amounts
under Si50,000 II is evident that these heavy
responsibilities were incurred for the purchase
of cotton and other produce, and it is said that
large amounts were paid to Planters for their
crops eren before the seed teas planted. --Star.
From the Philadelphia Herald Of yesterday.
Messy MArrERs.-The money atmosphere
was darkened here somewhat, yesterday, by the
suspension of highly esteemed merchant, who,
we confidently believe, viii soon resume pay
ment again-and by the information received
from New York of several failures having &C.
Cured there the day before.
Information from Mississippi comes TO us
most discouragngly; the complaints of the
pressure are even more loud there than at New
Orleans and Mobile. Land spectators are now
suffering the penalty of their madness.
\Ne,rark Eiecfion.-The Charter election of
the city of Newark took place on Tuesday of
last week, and the result was, that Mr. Freling-
huysen, the Wing candidate for Mayor, has

of the Tories, and the rally they made at the
polls, every ward in the city gave a majority
for the wings Troy Wing.
Death of Mr. Dapidson, the african Trar-
elLer.-Accounts have reached England thro'
the British Vice Consul at Mogadore, of the
death of Mr. Davidson, the African Traveller,
and author Of Travels in Mexico, Egypt, and
the Holy Land. His party consisting of ls
persons, were robbed, and himself shot, by n
marauding party Of Arabs, on his way to Tim
bucto. He is at length the seventh victim TO
African discovery.
! Great Fire tn Netc Orleans. -On the 9Th
inst. il was discovered that a grocery on the
corner of the railroad leading to the lake, was
on fire. From this house the flames spread
with astonishing rapidity through the whole

and burnt all but five buildings on the next
square. This fire took from spark from the
locomotive engine while running on the rail-
road. Nearly two squares were on fire, and
loI houses were consumed. About LET fami-
lies were left destitute of shelter, sc.
! Effects Of Chalenge.-M. Pirrel, an in
habitant OF Rouen, France, lately received a
challenge, and the letter falling into the hands
Of his wife, beautiful woman of about %
years of age, she fell senseless on the ground,
and died in two days in great agony of mind.
