Our jolly neighbor of the Manhattan Ad-

upon him in communication, scaling for

his allegations. The editor being in default,

MORE LAND.---The United States
have recently required about 100000
acres of land of the Miami Nation of In
dans, in Indiana. A treaty made some
years since with the Miamies, and
known as Marshall's treaty, was rati-
fed during the late extraordinary session
of Congress, with some unimportant
notifications, and has since been sub
mitted to the Indians, and received their
appreciation. A considerable portion Of
the land is located within ten or fifteen
miles Of Fort Wayne, and in the immc-
diale neighborhood Of the public works
Of Indiana. The superior quality and
desirable location of thest lands, will Of
fer a choice opening to the emigrant
when brought into market. The cost to
the United States is a little less than one
dollar per acre.--Clevcland Herald. T

SAMUEL B. CAMPBLEL, Scc'y.

Navy Observation-Disclosures all
that has been SAID and written about this
ralIying point OF Patriot force, its loca-
tion, and peculiar advantages, are ye,
but impcrIeclly known. 1t is located
two miles above the Niagara Falls, with
in half a mile of the Canada, and mile
and half of the American shore. The north
end of Grand Island covers about one
third of Navy Island; 10y drawing a
parallel line from the American shore)
and is little short of half "a mile from it.
Between the two Islands, the current is
rapid, but not so rapid as it is between
Navy Island and the Canada shore-the
distance between which is, we should
Judge, triIle over half mile. 1t would
be impossible for boat to make ITS way
from the Canada shore to the Island, in
u direct line. The current would carry
them below the Island, and, unless skill.
fully managed, below the Falls. The
only possible way for landing to be ef.
fecled by the royalsts, would be TO start
from some point, mile or more above,
move partially with the current, and
strike upon the south point of the Island.
If no resistance should be made, this
could very easily be accomplished; but
the discharge ofa few pieces Of ordnance
Laden with grape shot, upon the fleet
of boats which would necessarily be en-
ployed upon such an expedition. would
SO main them as TO inevitably sink them,
or make them perfectly unmanageabIe
as to be carried with the current over
theFalls. 1t is the knowledge of the fact
which prevented more than fifteen TO
volunteer their services for an attack up
on The Island. The thunderings of the
mighty cataract were far more eloquent
than the harangue Of Governor Head );
and its (rowning brow more terrific than
his threats and swaggerings. 1t makes
Navy lsland--unadorncd with either
walls or bulwarks-- more formidable
than Quebec or Gibralter, and with a
good train Of artillery, might bid eternal
defiance to ten thousand.
Chippewa is about half mile below
the north point Of the Island, and so sit
uated that it could be destroyed by hot
shot from the Island. The troops on the
Canada shore are principally quartered
in two large tavcrns directly opposite
the centre OF the sland--both of which
could be easily shattered by the Patriot
artillery.
The banks of the Island are from ten
to twenty feet in heighth, and generally
perpendicular. AT no point, however,
would they present landing, if funguar.
ded: but their elevation would enable
lew men to do wonderful execution
among those who would venture an at
tack against an armed force. Rochester
