 ISI-I S()LDlEll.,

In at Crtiziptzigit in Anzcrictz. _

in the year 1779, when the war with America
was conductt.-rl with great spirit upon that conti-
r.:-nt, a dirisicn. of the llritish army was encamp-
ed on the banks ofa river, and in a position so fa-
vorable by nature, that it was difficult for any mil-
itary art _to surtn-ise it. ~VVar in Anierica was
rather a species of hunting than a regular‘cam-
paign. The Aniericairs had incorporated the In-

had peculiarly fitted them. They saliied out ol
their impenetrable :fO'I‘(‘SlS, and. with their arrows
and tomahawks,- committed daily waste‘ upon the
British army, surprising their sentinels, and CUt~
ting ofi-‘their stragglers, and when the alarm was
given, and pursuit commenced, they lied with a

vertake,iinto melts and fastitesses w~here’it was
tlanget‘ous to follow them. _ .

In order to limit asfar as possible this species
of war, in .which there’ was so much ‘loss, and so
little honor, it waspthe ctrstom with evet'y_regi-

I./rrn Dici.1t;1zItA'rio.\'s or THE CABINE1,

A variety of ctrn_j-.-cttrrt-s are now afloat, as"t'o
the tenor of the late (lit-pztlclres transmitterl by
our _t‘,'O“f:l'l'1II‘t':l'-it in answer to the receipt of our
Minister's recent communication from Madrid.
We understand, lrnrvever, that no tlifficlties oc-
cttr-rcd in the delibet-ations ofthe Cabinet as to
the tirtllrst‘ rrhich remained to be pursued; that
it was the opinion ofthe executive ."tio_t to sanc-

to be imposed under the provisions ofthis Trea-
t._v by certain grantees, who clandestinely oppose
strong impetlitnents to its ratification ; and who
it is” S:-rid. have not scruplcd to employ the most
fraudulent means -.vitl‘rin their power, by the fab-
-‘vatioo of dates and instruments, to get their
claims embracerl within the period linrit,_e,<_l¥;,—,;-
This piece of chicanery, it is understood. t‘ p __
the determination of government to r'csist ; tli'a’l"
positive IltStl'Ut‘.‘l0hs on this head have been trans-
mitted to our minister at l\ladrid: and though
the vthole amount of these claims is reported not
to exceed $200,000, and which -might be bought
up for a mt.rch less sum—-a mere fraction,uation-
a‘il_v speaking , yet such is the straight forward
policy of our executive, and the integrity of its
int».-ntlons, that even this my try sum will not be
grantetl to bribe the interes ,- wd good will of the
courtiers or favorites of Ferdinand.

That this is not a Machiavalian course is obvi-
ous, when s‘e-rious impediments could be so easi-
ly removed by the application ofa little money ;
but then it comports more with the dignity and
interest of a nation, that disdains -to stoop to the
practice of political quacl-tcizy. by administering
pecuniary gzratification. at tlrél expense of iutt-g-
rity and fair dealing. By the spirit ofthe treaty,
afi’tl its faithlirl exectttioits on our part. we are
willing to stand or fall. ‘We now (l';S aair of its
ratification within the time limited by its pro-Jis-_
ions; and the fulfilment of this condition is in-
clispcnsible to make it binding on both parties.

VVe think it highly probable that the recent in,-
structions ofour executive. do not essentially dif-
fer from what has been heretofore transmitted ;
and it is not impro‘ottble that Spain may propose
some new arrangement in order to get rid ofthe
importunities of disappointed grantees ; but what
the fate of such a proposition may be, under the
present disturbed state of the negotiation is im-
possible to fore'tell.—_ Was/:z'ngto7z City Gazette.

Spain does not ratify the late treaty, Congress

 
 
 

 

should pass a law authorizing to take possess
of Florida, as a precautionar_v measure.-

mentious that a dreadful hurricane was experien-
ced on the 28th July, spreading desolation on ‘the?
whole coast from the Regoulettes to Mobile:-.
The U. S. schooner Firebrand, whilst at anchor
of? the‘ Pass ofChr,istian,was lost, and all on board
(45 in number, besides the oflioors) perishetl; a-
bout 20 of the craft-on I.ak_e_Bpnéh.atrairt".are-also
missing’. ' At the "Pass, only threeiiliouses‘-are left
standing. At the Bay of’St. Louis,-' the,‘ .‘.w'ater-
rose seven feet ;a schooner was eapsized,an’d all"
'nands“lost; the houses at the bay were also all
blown‘ dow.Ii'or seriously injured. Vessels were
aslrore in various places, andthe coast was cov-
ered with fragments of vessels and A houses, and
the bodies of human beingusfiaitcl the carcasses of
cattle. At New-Orleans avnildat Mobile, the dam-
age has inconsi_derable ; and at the latter place
was confined to the wharves. 

A New-Orleans paper mentions, a~ band
of P2‘;-ates, abou}t,5(> in number, under~'the noted
11;/izc/tell, l)aveest§al)li‘shed and fortified themselves
on :1 piece of land_bt.-tween tworénrztll h.tyo~.r,s that
empty into Lake Iiiarat-aria, whc_re they are pre-
pairing to renew their pit-acies; they have at large

 
 

field under cultivation, in which corn and otlrer

articles of provision are raised in great abund-
ance, and they havea plenty oflive stock. This
band have long infested the Mississippi and adja-
cent lakes ; and among the evils inflicted by the
lrurrican‘e, it is none of the least, that it fr-ttstrated
a well planned expedition‘ fitted out against these
pirates. The gprincipral Vessel intended for this
service (the Firebrand, Liet-it. Gray,) was lost,
and it is feared the Hornet, Lieut. Ramage, and
another vessel, which formed i1‘fl3rt-of it, have
shared a similar fate. _ x 

.4 violent Toiwgdo, of about 30, rods in width,
passed through Vtfest Springfield, Mass. on Sun-
day, the 22d ult; tearing up trees, fences, and ev-
ery thing in its course, until it reaehetl the house

'.-of Mr. Lemuel G. Robins, about a mile east of

the place, which, together with the barn, were
in the twinkling of an eye, in ruins! Mrs. Rub-
bins and her children, three in nurtrber, were sit-
ting near each other. Mrs. R. heard ‘the crack-
ing of the barn, which stood to the whirlwind,
and had only time to grasp her infant before (as

‘she expressed it) she was ‘whirling like a feath-

er in the air.’ The mother and children were
precipitated several rods, and fell covered with
timbers, boards and rubbish.- Mrs. Robbins fell
near a gr-indstone, which 'providentially served to
protect from the ruins that fell around her; and
strange as it may appear, the mother and child-
ren escaped unhurtl with the exception ofa slight
contusion on the head of a small boy. ' Capt. A.
\Varner, :1 boarder in the house. was asleep at the
time in the chamber, and carried with the ruins
and landed in-the garden. He was bruised con-

',‘v‘,dei'ably but is able to walk about. The feather

.7"_:<l on which he lay had not been found; and a

"bed blanket was found about one mile oil‘. Mr.
‘Robbins was returning from meeting, and was

within half amile of the house, when he lrearil
the dreadful-crash, and saw the air filled with‘ the
timbers, 5tc. ofhis dwelling. His feelings at this
scene of desolation was indiscribable ; and he had
no expectation of finding any of his family alive,
but was happily disappointed. The ralters and
other timbersof Mr. Robbin’s house and ham,
were carried morethan I06 rods, and several
dozen of hispoultry were killed and maimed.-—
