From our Correspondent
Office of the Herald,
81. Augustine, April is. ,
From MosouIro.-T The sloop Splendid,
Cap. Helme, arrived on Sunday last from
Mosquito. BY this arrival we learn that a
few Indians had again made their appear
ance, in the vicinity OF the Camp. Capt.
Hanson had given chase to three, and had
captured a boat and all their cooking uteu.
sis, &c. which he had destroyed; and one
Indian on horseback was pursued, but he
effected his escape.
The steamboat Florida is expected TO.
morrow, with the two companies of 5. {.
Militia who are TO be discharged on the
20lh, their term OF service having expired.
A report IS in circulation, which has
been published that The Florida was in want
OF wood and that they were obliged To send
here for IT,. Tins is erroneous the Splen
did being in the service OF the L. ;. was
sentup for forage. hich was expected TO ar.
rive in the 5. S. Mills, from Charleston; and
Capt. Hebbard, of the Florida, requested
that few cords OF wood which he bad en-.
gagged mere, might be also brought, If room
could be found In the vessel for II. The
Mills had not arrived, and some despatch
es from General Jesup were waiting 10 be
forwarded 10 Gen. Hernandez, which were
dispatched BY tins opportunity Immediately,
together with the wood. This circumstance
gave rise TO the report.
From Tampa We have information 10 the
10Th. We learn that on the 9th, twelve
hundred ratons were issued, aud letters
still continue to state that the Indians still
continue 10 come in, SLOWLY but surely.
An order OF General Je.np, dated on the
9Th inst. has been revived, which has caus-
ed much excitement. Tue substance is as
follows:
No white man not in the service of the
L. 5. is allowed 10 90 South OF line drawn
East and West through Fort Drane, from
the s.. Johns river to the Gull OF Mexico,
on any prelext whatever.
All vessels arriving at Tampa Bay are
20 be Immediately examined, aud no one
permitted to land except those having bust
ness with the military authority on shore.
The Negroes slaves captured by the In.
dams are 10 be sent 10 ST. Marks under
charge Of Lieut.. Vlnton, and thllher their
owners must 60 to clam them.
4 public meeting has been held, and
very temperate remonslrance against this
order has been adopted.
The cause of this order is alleged TO be
tina; unprincipled white men will lamper
with the negroes Of the Indians, aud thus
lead to a renewed of Institutes.
A letter from the Postmaster at Jackson.
vile mentions that the family Of Mr.. Gle
