The calmtity of Suicide, when manifestly committed under ',lrmal derangement, is mitigated to the surviving Relatives by an equitable redemption of the Policy.  ons for their depredations upon the whites. In August last, it was very well ascertained that they were the authors of several murders committed upon the white inhabitants of the frontier. A patient endurance of suffering is always regarded by the Indians as an indication of weakness, and is sure to produce a repetition of the insult or injury. Ge neral Gaines demanded that the murderer should be given up: it was answered with taunt and defiance, And let it be remembered by those who accuse the country of purating a bailrarons polity towards this people, and endeavour to involve them in .wars, that when Pepiticmy, the principal warrior and leader, was asked why he was thus hostile to the United States, he replied, by acknowledgiag that !he government were always ready to do him justice, and to make peace with him, but that war was a fine manly exercise, in which he ..vished to practise his young men The 7th reginzent crossed the:Flint river, dispersed the Indians, burnt Fowlstown, and returned. This act of war was premature: the troops we had in the field, so far from being able to subjugate the enemy, were inefficient. to meet them in fair conflict. T. e Indians assembled, attacked a boat ascending the river, captured it, and put to death forty pet sons ccznposing its crew. General Gaines made a second call upon Georgia for 2.)00 men for six months. They assembled at Hartford. General Jackson was now authorized to accept the services of 2000 Tennessee volunteers, to • call out the friendly Indians, and to take the field himself. With his accustomed activity, he rapidly organized the..e men for service, and giving them orders to concentrate at Fort Scott, he proceeded to Hartford. aid placing himself at the head of the Georgia Militia, moved them towards the same point. General Jackson had in vain endeavoured to procure provisions for his Three: and.a correct idea may be formed of the intreiiid cart of his character, from the circumstance of his starting with 2000 men on a march of ten days, through a wilderness, when his only means of sub,isteace was a daily pint of corn for each man, and when he well knew that on his arrival at Fort Scott he could obtain but a very scanty supply. At Fort Scott General Jackson fraud the regular troops and fiiendly Indians.  ,Travellers between Great Britair. and Ir:land are in no ease hawed fnr Sea-hazard.—And a liberal Commi::;on is allowed rr.l. -towl and other Agenti, as well on the first as On every renewed payment of Premiums.  rllO COUNTERACT the many attempts that are 11 daily made to impose on the urwary a SPURIOUS COMPOSITION, instead of the -GENUINE BLACKING premed by DAY and MARTIN, they hare adopted a new WO in wMcis their address,  97, HIGH HOLBORN, Is so conviction-ay placed in the centre, that they trust an atten'ion to this, and the ddference of the type, which is unlike all letter pr ..ss, will enable purchasers at once to d..tect the imposition.

Apprehensive of the want of provi.; ..ions, they halted on the unite, and had not yet joiniNt General Jackson advanced into the Indian country, de•'royed their villages, and entering Florida, took possession of St. Mark's. The Indians fled before him, and the Spaniards dared not oppose his progress. The State of Gent% gia affords but lew of the necessaries for the subsistence of an army, and the face of the country in which General Jackson operated abounded with invincible impediments to transportation in wheel ear. riages. Great, therefore, were the sufferings of the troops—subsisting upon a pint of corn—marching titrough swamps and morasses, wading creeks, and sleeping on the wet ground, without shelter— were privations endured from motives of the purest patriotism, and in which the General participated Equally with the meanest soldier in his army.  General Jaason was now about to move, his troops from Florida, when he discovered that the Governor of Pensacola, instead of exerting himself to fulfil the treaty existing between the United States and his King, by which he :vas bound to protect OW citizens front savage; within his duminioin, had basely violated the Spanish faith, and protected, encouraged, and furnished with the means of war, a worthless band, at the same time laying wage the frontier ofthe Alabama territory, and waging a war of destruction against the. most lovely and most knocent part of our population. The opposition of the Spanish troops was illcalculated to occasion a display of the full devotion of the Anserican army. The Governor retired at their approach, and shutting himself up in the Bzrancas, declared his deternmtation not to surrencler. The Barancas is a fortress situated on the Southern. Cape of the Bay of Pensacola; it consists of a !teary water battery on the beach, protected by and communicating with, a regular work on the bluff. A! though thss work cost the King of Spain an immr suns of money, yet the.lower battery is entirel dequate to guard the water communication into bay, and the upper work cannot sustain an au from the meanest train of 'artillery. The pat consists of a sand mound, supported by pine pie and unprotected by glacis; conflagrate these pis the sand must fall into the ditch, and there is nr  I  pediment to a platoon marching to eic centre plate. General Jackson carincw,ade,l the fort. garrison discovering that scaling-ladders and . preparations were making for the assault, hoisted white flag and surrendered.
