INDIAN RnLcs.-A moundinthis city
has been partially opened this week,
and our citizens are picking UP beads,
arrow points, stone knives and various
other instruments and ornaments. One
skeleton has been discovered entire, and
portions of others. On counting the
grains Of the stump Of a tree that stands
upon the top the mound, il appears that
this tree must have been about one hun
dred and fifty years old. 1t has been
cut down about sixteen years We
suppose that this ancient receptacle Of
the dead must have been formed about
two hundred years ago.-Ohio City

The PRospEcTs OF WAR.-A gentle

The PRospEcTs OF WAR.-A gentle
man of the highest responsibility, just
arrived from Toronto, U. c., states tina,
he passed several loads of rockets on
their way to this frontier. ltis also cur
rently reported, on what authority we
do not know, that engineers have been
engaged in surveying the Canada shore
opposite this city, for the erection ofbat-
teries. We do not credit the latter ru-
NOR. If the British government are
about taking steps to erect battery at
Windsor, it can be for no other purpose
than attack upon this city, which pre-
, sripposes declaration of war by Great
Britain against the United States. And
that Great Britain is prepared to adopt
such measures, we do not believe.
Whatever may be the feelings of the
government party in Canada, we have
no idea that the government at home
will be governed by the crash and hasty
councils OF the provincial authorities.
Before England engages in a war Of her
own seeking with the United States, for
the purpose Of avenging the fancied
wrongs Of the colonies, she will look to
the probable consequence to which such
acontest would lead at home. The peo-
Of France sympathise with the French
population Of the Canadas much more
warmly than they did with the Ameri-
can people during the revolution, and i
is more than probable that the French
nation would cooperate with the United
States in case ofa war with Great Bri-
tain to give independence to the Cana
das. This would inevitably lead to a
direct war between France and Eng
land, which corld not but end in the
most humiliating results 10 the latter.
And the British government will never
hazard itsempire in the east to crafty
the childish vanity Of her weak, expen-
sive any pulling colonies in America
colonies which would have been in the
undisputed possession of the Patriots
and Rebels weeks ago, had the latter
not been intercepted at every move, by
the government of the United States.--

The New Orleans Herald says that
in that city, the suits ofthe UnitedStates
upon Custom House Bonds, have just
terminated in judgments, and hundreds
Of executions are about issuing. The
refusal to pay, in a great majority Of in

but determination not to pay in specie.

pointed at the speedy termination Of the
revolt as TO be unable to make show Of
fight.
