'f‘"w'o hundred and liftylliostile Creek Indians
have em1">od"ied_'alJout 25 miles below the Falls of
the -Black Wiirrior, and are committing m_any
dep.re'dations;__ Oh,the_l4th inst. a party of them
went to the house, of ~a"M‘r. Hall, and murderedin.
the most shocking manner, three of his children

litia, was very active, and in‘ two hours after‘ re-
-“ceiving" i_bformation_o_f the murder, was at the
head of a party in pursuit of the perpetrators of
this horrid deed. .The inhabitants were much a_-‘
larmed, and about:_60_fa,milics- had. collected at

Honored Sir---I. hasten to lay before your dc-".
partment some statements relative . to.the late
battle fought with a band of Indians, consisting
of "70 warriors and their womenand. children.——-
"From the best information that I"h"ave- received,
they are a remnant of the hostile Creek"s,~ who,
on finding. they could no longer be protected in"
Florida, lately applied to the Chickasaw tribe for
.land_.to‘ settlefon; but, being denied, they form-.:
red .a- ;resolution- to light their way throughouti
gettlements, over ..the_ Missisippi, where, they
‘were told by the Chickasaws, they could get land.
Jngorder. to execute their design.-they crossed the
.~ri_vers Alabama and Cahaba, and on their way to
-the W'ar"rior.they .killed two white men and three
Choctaws. On reaching this river, at a place.
called Cornel’-s settlement, they committed. sev-
eral outrages on our citizens, and murdered some
of the family of a Mr. Hall. They then steered
their course for this place. Having receivedvinn
telligence of their approach, on the 16th, inst. six-
teen of our most enterprisirig men armed them-'
selves, and chose'Maj. S. Taylor and myself to
comrnand_tbem. W'e were joined by Capt. Ba-
-con and fourteen men. Being thus .united', we
went‘ in pursuit, and, having met with their trail,
we followed it through swamps a-nd cane brakes,
heretofore thought to be impenetrable, -until we
found where they had crossed the V-Varrior, eight
milesbelow the falls. After crossing, and march-'
inr’ four miles through the- most horrid swamps
rfrzl "canebrakes, and being separated from Capt.
Bacon's command, we discovered the enemy en-
camped in a‘Beaver dam, well fortified by nature,
there b"ei‘"ng" a thick cane brake on the right, and
a high bluff on the left. Theycno sooner saw us
than they raised the war whoop, and prepared for
.a,_-lion-, VVe then gave orders to charge on them,
.,whic.h was done with the spirit of true "Ameri-
cms, and 8 or "l0 oftheir \Va_rriors were laid dead-
'on the spot. ‘We then retreated and loaded our
guns; and, having formed again on the entrance
ofthe encampment, we were reinforced by- Capt.
Bacon and part of his men. A smart skirmish
was kept up for thirty _minutes, during which
time we killed 6" or 8 more of the enemy ; but
finding they were endeavoring to out-flank us, a
retreat was ordered, which waseffccted without
molestation. We lost two brave‘.-m‘e'n. killed, in the
contest, and one badly wounded}, the loss of the
enemy was not less than 15 kil-led,—and several
wounded. On the 17th, eighteen of us went to
the battle ground to bury our dead ; but, on find-
'ing that the enemy had not left their strong
hold,_we withdrew. On the l9th, . with a more
formidable force, we again proceeded in quest of
ourjencmy, and after patrolling-the swamps and"
cane brakes‘, it was discovered they had fled to-
wards the Sidsy river. \-Ve then buried our dead
and returned to our respective abodes. On- the
same day Col. .’1‘. Hunter with 110 mpunted men,
set offin ' pursuit of them-, and coming up with
their rear, killed oncof their war:-iors.. They
have taken their flight: towards the borders of,.the
Choctaws, who are apprised of their approach,
and will, I trust, soon give a good account of
them. '- ' , ' ‘ "
My"rq_aso.ns.for making this communication to '
your department, is in consequence of our hav-
ing acted without any kind of orders, but solely
from self-preservation. ‘ Should‘ itmeet the ap-
probation of Government, I shall‘ feel happy in
having rendered my country lhe'smal'lést serv-"

want of skill", and not «tothe lackvof good will

./Iccitlt-nt.-'-Yes"'t_"'erday contmenced ' an exten-
sive sale of household ‘furniture atthe late resi-
dence of VVm.- Nichols, Esq.‘in this town", which
drew together a large concourse of ‘ladies of re-
spectability: The " parlour was occupied by the
Auctioneer and nearly one hundred ‘ladies, and
all things" were proceeding with much‘ harmony,
when suddenly the parlour floorgave way with a
horrid crash, and precipitated the‘ whole compa-
ny into the cellar, a distance of about 9 feet.-_--
The floor fell in an oblique direction, which" had
the effect of lliterally-piling them in heaps, to-
gether with chairs, bu1'ea"us,_-,ci'dckeI'y" and glass-
ware, Scc. Ste. At this moment was exhibited a
scene of confusion and a_ff1-ilghtwhichcertainly
was never exceeded in--this.town: Some caught
by the window casing andprecipitated themselves
into the street, about loleet. ‘ The cellar win-
dows and doors were immediately forced open,
when mothers and daughters were found stowed
and wedged together in every possible shape, un-
der the weight of furniture before described, and
crying aloud for relief. The franticigrief ofthose
females on the outside. for their friends- in the
cellar, and the agonizing features of the‘ fathers
and husbands, rendered it a scene truly dlstrbgs.
ing. But in tracing the effects ofthis calamity,
we are happy‘ in being" able to state.that no lives
were lost: One lady had her shoulder dislocated,
another received a severe blow on the back, by a
bureau’s falling on her, and a few others were
slightly injured. Many ladies had their "clothes
much torn, and bonnets, handkercliiefs, shawls,
and shoes partook of the general wreck. ’ I

writes from Gibraltar, under date of Sept. 12,
that the news of the decision ‘of our government
with respect to Pensacola, has excited the most
extravagant symptoms of joy among the Span-

the news ran about the streets embracing and fe-
cilitating one another on the event, and joining in
mutual congratulations on" the pacific temper dis-‘
‘played by the American government. ‘ Be as--'

Brig Columbia.-This vessel arrived at Nor-
folk the 23d inst. She belonged to Admiral Bri-
on’s squadron, and was brought off from Grena-
da by the persons now on board. They_repre-
sent the case as follows :—The Columbia ‘was 0-
riginally the Baltimore of Baltimore; bul was
captured by the British during the late war. ‘She
.. was afterwards sold into the Venezuelean ser-
vice, and was one of Admiral Brion’s squadron
at "the attack of Guiria, the 23d of August last,
on the first day of which she was taken by the
Spaniards : she was, however, recaptured on
the 24th’, by the flag ship‘ Victoria, (of which
"'l_'homas",." who acts as captain of the Columbia,
was the first lieutenant) and proceeded with her
to Chagaramus, in the Island of Trinidad. -At
this place, the men, with Thomas at their head,
demanded an explanation of Admiral Brion’s
conduct, in the attack on Guiria, which they state
to have been cowardly. in the extreme. They
also demanded some of their pay and prize mon-
ey,neither ofwhich they had received for a length
of: time—_-this was refused, and they were threat-
ened with severe punishment if they persisted in
asking for it. Thomas then left the ship, with a-
bout 20 of the men, and proceeded to Grenada,
whitherlthe ship and brig also went; Upon Bri-
on’; arrival, they endeavoured -to obtain their wa-
" gas and prize money, but the British laws afford-
ing them no redress, they determined, as the on-
ly. means of "obtaining some compensation for
their services, to cut out the Columbia, then ly-
ing in the" Bay, fféar Brion’s ship and the forts.
Thomas and eleven others accordingly boarded
her at midnight on the S0 ult. cut her cable and
put to sea--no attempt being made to stop them.
There were on board, an officer, seven men, and
a" boy,who were asleep. Four of the men were
sent ashore ;: the officer, at his- request, was put
- on board a vessel which they fell in with, bound
go Savannah. On their entering the Capes, with
the."vi_ew of proceedingto-Baltimore, they were
taken possession of by the Revenue cutter, and
sent to Norfolk. _

ed.” The King gave him for this purpose a cer-

his own seal. Lawrens had at that time changed
-his course on the King’s account, and ‘put into
Riga, which was not his destination : and -as he
had suffcred_much during the war, he . thought
he might claim the promised favor of the King
of France. The Danish Ambassador at Paris
