NAVAL HIsToRY OF THE U. STATES
The British Naval and Military Gazette
has given the following opinion Of the Ma
val llstory of the United States, by MIR.
Cooper:
ave have pcrused this history with no
little curiosity and with great Interest,"
Considering The brief existence of the A
nerican mariuc, its annals are more event
fnI, more romantic, and more various,
than any in existence. Nothing can sur
pass the energy which enabled the United
Stales to form an effective navy, at a time
when thew could hardly be said 10 have
had political existence, and when they
were hesel by erealerdifficullies than any
which an infaul nation had ever yet TO en-
counter. This consideration has ANNA
ted The present historian, whose enthusi-
asm seems to be kindled by his office of
chronicler, even more than when he for
merly songhf inspiration from the same
source in constructing his famous stories
Of the sea. His national pride has, how.
ever, not tempted him to be, afterihe man
ner of his counirvmen, vain glorious as re-
CARDS his own nation, and abusive towards
Others. His work, accordingly, is more
fair and candid than could have been ex-
pccted on such theme from an Ameri-
can pen. Altogether this history is val
liable one, and cannot fail to pass into uni
versal circulation. The incidents which
took place in the naval war with Tripoli
are grander aud more heroic than any
thing in The circle Of romance, aud are
detailed with all the vigor and animation
Of MIR. Cooper's genius"

A letter from East Florida we learn
states, thar Sam Jones had come in at t"r'
Lauderdale with 300 warriors, and gone
into the district of country assigned them
in General Macomb's treaty. II Is stated,
however. that he considers he has a fee.
simple title to the country. aud will moi re-
move west. The express who brought
the letter, stated that Sam Jones says l,
is the only tribe that will make peace
and tha, there are yet many hostile war
riors in the country. l!so, there is little
prospect of the war being closed.
In confirmation Of the above, gentle
mau who resides on the Ocilla frontier,
aad who is we'll acquainted with the coun-
try, having acted for long time as guide
TO lheiroops.s says that there are moreIndian
signs west Of the Ocilla, at present, than
be has seen at any time during the war.

indians at Druyton istand.-This island
is situated in Lake George, aud owned
by q. Kingsley Esq, who had reoccupied
ii on the armls,lce effected by General
Macolnb, in full confidence of the since
rity of the Indians, OIL the completion of
that treaty. Last week, rumor was
afloat that the enemy had visited IL, and
told the negroes thereon that they must
leave, as "next moon," as sonn as they
should have collected their corn. they in-
tended to renew The war. We are not in
cincd 10 give credence TO this statement.
moi because the story was told by negroes,
for generally their relations respecting In
diaus have turned out true, but because
the island was situated in that part Of the
territory north of the neutral ground -
and we did not think that they would
commence their predatory excursions be-
fore -he fall. The negroes, however, on
Wednesday last, passed down the river
and stated to Lieutenant Poole, the conf
nanding officer al Picolala, that large
number of Indians had appeared on he is
land. and they had left in consequence of
their visit. The circumstances. we con-
ceive. warrant our drawing the attention
OF Gen. Taylor TO the exposed situation of
the eastern bank Of the 81. Johns river.
From PicOlata to the mouth Of the ST.
Johu's. there are living at this lime up
wards Of one hundred families. whose resi-
den,e es are detached from each other, and
not sufficiently contiguous TO allow cuncert
among them, in the event Of the invasion
of the enemy. They have in the ground
sugar-ca e, cotton, and provisions, besides
upwards of a thousand slaves, horses, and
stocks of cattle. This. to these residents,
is matter Of some moment, involving all
of their wealth, and the prospects of a
maintenance oftheir families. Many per-
suns had determined on making an effort
to reoccupy their abandoned farlns, and
seek reiefirom the blighting stings Off po-
verify. which they have heen subjected 10.
The rarions, too, accorded under resolu-
ton of Congress, TO the wants and suffer-
ipgs of The inhabitants of Florida, have
been discontinued 10 number who have
heretofore drawn; and the necessity ofap-
plying to the earth for relief of their
wants, is still more urgent. Yet. there
is and must be disrrust, as long as In,iiaus
are seen aud k!.own to be pruwling about
the country; no man eau cultivate, no man
can hope for the reward of his labor. Un-
der The present arrangement, with its dis
position of troops, bui small amount of
security is given to The inhabitants east of
ST. Johns, north of Volusia Itmay and
will be said, there is no danger. 1t is
wisdom to provide against The worst; aud
of all errors, tha, of trusting TOO much to
the integrity Of the Indian is the most fatal.
Fort Hanson, on Mnccasn Branch, con-
,ains by far 100 small force to meet ext
Sencies when they occur. We do not
wish to create any sentiment Of alarm on
this subject; but We hold that we should
prove unfaithful TO our trust, uof 10 raise
our voice at danger, even if viewed from
thc distance.
