proposed to remedy TINS evil by allotting I
the different tribes districts Of country suit
able to their habits of life, and sufficient TO
their support. This provision, more thar
anv othey, it is believed, led to their rejec
tion :: and as no substitute for it has beer
adopted by Congress, it has not been deem
ed advisable to attempt to enter into new
treaties OF permanent character, although
no effort has been spared by temporary ar
rangements to preserve friendly relations
with them.
If it be the desire of Congress to- remove
them from the country altogether, or to as
sign to them particular districts more re-
mote from the settlements of the whites, II
will be proper to set apart BY law the terri
tory which they are to occupy, and to pro-
vide the means necessary for removing
them to it. Justice alike to- oar own citl-
zens and to the Indians requires the prompt
action of Congress on this subject.
The amendments proposed by the Sen.
ate, to the treaties which were negotiated
with the Sioux Indians of Minnesota, have
been submitted to the tribes who were par
ties to them, and have received their as
sent. A large tract OF valuable territory
has thus been opened for settlement and
cultivation. and all danger OF COLLISION with
these powerful and warlike bands has been
happily removed. -,
Tire removal of the remnant of The tribe
Of Seminole indians from Florida has long
been cherished object of the Government,
and it is one to which my attention has
been steadily directed. Admonished by
past experience of the diligently and cost OF
the attempt to remove them by military
force, resort has been had to conciliatory
measures. Bv the invitation OF the Com
missioner Of Indian Affairs several OF the
principal chiefs recently visited Washing
ton, and whilst here acknowledged in wrl-
ting the obligation of their tribe to remove
with the least possible delay. Late advl-
ces from the special agent OF the Govern
ment represent that they adhere to their
promise, and that council of their people
has been called to make their preliminary
arrangements. A general emigration may
therefore be confidently expected at an
carly day.

shows increased activity in its operations.

the frontiers Of Poland of the 4th inst stating that
since the eyonts in Ffance a strong military force
has been brought together on t1e borders b.

and the authorities are ordered to use the strcert
supervision over all travellers entering Russia
The pickets of Cossackg at tho first Russian barrier
are doubled, and travellers are accompanied by q
military escort to the Custom.house station
They undergo n rigorous examination. The
description in the passport is carefully COM

individuals is referred to- and special report made
of al travellers proceeding to Warsaw. Tho high
road from Poson to this city is strongly guarded
the little town Of Slrpce, a mile beyond the from
tier, is the last station Of the Prussian post, and
this place is surrounded by triple Gordon of ca
valry. All tho Polish hotels are placed under spe-
cial control. Large magazines of provisions and
forage are collected from the surrounding pantry,
and, notwithstanding the good harvest, the export
ofrye and cats ia prohibited. These extraordinary
precautions have created among the population a

The successor Of Sir Harry Smith in tho i'm

Cathcart, who has been removed from the Deputy

pointed to replace Sir Harry Smith il Cafrar;a.
The selection, we trust. may prove fortunate
one, although there is little in General Ca.hcart's
