from this distracted country.

The eve of CONFUSION, do not become by ST.

his post Very serious charges have been made
against him, oil nIalversation, &c, from which

The woud-be assassin was himself killed. Sc
yeral sharp affairs had recently happened be-
tween the Mexicans and Indians near Obiquiet
in which a good many men on both sides were
slain. Much bad feeling seems 10 have been &C.
nerated against the United States, in consequence
OF the Indians being furnished with ammunition
by the American trading posts.

Francois, has just discovered some lead and
quicksilver mines, within thirty leagues ot Gu-
