ject of the British agyressions in the

England would make ample apology, said
that English cannon should not be per-

1t appears that Capt. Hamilton and some
20 others who had been driven from Linn

placing their families in safety in Mis-
souri,, determined to return to the Terri.

Tor Montgomery men, came out and
met them, when they were all taken pris-
oners. From one of them Hamilton
learned that number of the robbers
were stationed at Snyder's. a fortified
house near Chateau's post. Under prom
lse that they would return home, the
prisoners were disarmed and released
Hamilton's party then proceeded to Sny-
der's house, which is situated in ravine
q &anked by rock walls. Dividing into
@o parties, they approached it in oppo-
site directions, and hearing guns fired on
the side of the hill, they charged on the
spot, when they found the men they had
just released, who had partially armed
themselves at neighboring house and
taken short cut for Snyder's. A fight
ensued, resulting in the death of t.n Of
the robbers. In a few minutes the main
force in Snyder's house rushed 10 the

Gg- The action of the British naval
officers in the Gulf, in stopping our mer-

has reused the ire Of our staid Senator's,

President to send an additional force to
the Gulf. for the protection Of our mer-
chant marine in that quarter, has been
adopted, and the steamers Water Witch

India station. The frigate Wabash will
also sail for the same destination in few
