IMPORTANT FROM FLoRIDA.-We un-
dersland that Gen. Macomb, who arrived
here this morning from Florida, ON his
way to Washington. as induced theChiet>
tn consent To call in all their Struggling
parties, and retire Immediately below II
line prescribed by the General, there tn re-
main until further arrangements ,llal! he
made by the Government. All hostillIics
are to cease ou both sides. The American
troops are 'r occupy a line of posts across
the Peninsula TO prevent The Indians from
crossing above that line into the settle
ments. The Indians seemed we'll satisfied
with this arrangement, aud the general
impression among the inhabitants was,
lha, no further difficulties will be expert
enced IN Florida, at least for the present.
The kind treatment experienced 10y those
indians who came in at the invitation Of
Gen. MacoInb, has tended to restore cOn-
tidence, and will 20 very far TO smooth
difficulties. The success ufGen.M Macombs
measures in putting an end 10 the contest
in Florida, during the season.wherc mill
tary operations could not be carried on,
must be US satisfactory to The country, as il
is creditable to The General himself.
We have been favored by Gen. Macomb,
