Ifit were even possible that this “ humane” policy shotild be carried into effect, what a wonderful mixture ofcolors, languages and principles, would soon be “ incorporated” “in the great American family of freeman”?- We should quickly be degraded to the stamp oftlte motly race of St. Domingo and the W. Indies. But who did Mr. Crawford expect would avail themselves ofhis modest and ‘ hu- mane’ recommendation ? - Did he calculate that the sons and daughters of the wealthy and rich, living many hundred of miles from the Indians, would leave their all, and go in crusade. after tawny companions, or did he think the frontier inhabitants were no better than savages, and that they would just step 0- ver the line and cheerfully embrace his philo- sophical advice? Let every one answer for himself. This report isalso celebrated for the very favorable and indulgent manner in which he speaks of the many foreigners who come to our country. It says in round language that whether theyfly from their ow_n country on cccouut oftheir irirtztes or their crimes, it is still more humane and benevolent in the government to encourage marriages with the Indians than to receive tlien‘r.--—-This is truly very encouraging language to the many vir-' tuous foreigners inour country to support him. , It appears by the Augusta papers that Mr. Crawford is uot.very popular where he -is best known. The vote in that county on the elec- toral question,was 061 in favor of the people’s rights, and 28 in favor ol'~the Crawfordites. The anti-Crawford members of the Senate and Assembly were elected by a majority of two to one. The follotving letter of Gen. La Fayette, addressed to the late Gov. Reed, of Peun.was copied a few days ago from the original,which we have ‘seen. It furnishes interesting addi- tional evidence of the intensity of La Fay- ette,’s solicitude for the success of our cause, and the thorough transforination which he lied undergone into an American patriot.

But you may easily guess I was not a stranger to the planning of the co-operations which I .theu thought to be very important to America, which now I find to be necessary, and in the course of those arrangements, 1 need not 0- mit mentioning I ever spoke with a hecouiing pride. of the American army, and of the ef- forts which the virtuc_of America would make towards, an honorable co-operation. Those people are coming, my good friend, full ofardor and sanguine hopes, and may be every day expected. France and Spain are in high expectat-ious—the world is looking at its, and all the European powers, that never saw America but through a spy glass, are watching this opportunity of fixing, at once, their fluctuating opinions. . It is from rue, on the moment of their arri- val, that the French Generals -expect intelli- gence, and you may guessthat pacquets. will be by them immediately despatched to Eu- rope. An army that is reduced to nothing, that wants provisions, that has not one of the necessary means to make war, such is the sit- uation wlicreiu I havevfound otir troops, and, however prepared Icould have been for the unhappy sight by otir past distresscs, I confess Iliad no idea of such an extremity. Shall -l be obliged to confess our inability, and what shall be my feelings on the occasion, uotonly as an American, an American soldier,but one who has highly boasted in.Europe ofthe spit- it, the virtuc, the resources ofArnerice ?

In asking your pardon for this long confidential letter, I am with the most perfect regard, your affectionate friend. (Signed) LA FAYETTE. His Excellency Governor Reed. ’ The Dinner given by the President, in hon- or of Gen. La Fayette, on Thursday, was as complimentary and respectful as it was possi- ble for the President to render it. All the high officers ofthe Civil Departments of the Government, and the Chiefs ofthe subordin- ate branches, were present ; also, the distin- guished Naval and MilitaryOflicers;. the May- or ofthe city, and the committee ofArrang-r- ments. The whole number present amount- ed to nearly 50 persons. The President bim- selfsupported the general on his arm,to table, and rendered him all the attention which could be expected from ‘his respect for the character and services ofhis guest, and an in- timacy of forty years duration, formed in the camps of the Revolution and strenathened by their mutual toils and dangers.——.N’al. Int. In the manner ofshewing our respect to the Nation’s Guest, the intensity of the public feeling has run into some excesses. There has been, probably, too much pomp and mag- uificence——The never ceasing succession of entertaiunieuts and attentions, has even de- generated into ridiculous excess ! It has worried otir illustrious guest, and almost con- verted, what ought to have been a source of unmixed satisfaction, into a source of annoy- ance. IVe trust that things will be ordered better :or the future. IVould it not have been better if we could have exchanged some ‘of these splendid expenditures, for a more sub- stantial tribute of the public feeling? [Richmond Inquirer. Yours, Va.

The steam boat Virginia left here this forenoon at It o’clock, and preceded down the river followed by the steam boats United States from Baltimore, and Virginia, from Richinond—-at 12, at the mouth of the river we met the steam boat Petersburgh,with Gen. La Fayette on board, followed by the steam boats Potomac and Riclnnond, the former fr. Alexandria, the latter from Norfolk. The General, according to previous arrangement, debarked from the Petersburg, and came on board the Virginia, where he was met by the Committee of arrangement, the Virginia at the time firing a salute of fifteen guns.——Af- ter the general and his suit, who were accom- panied by the Secretary of W'ar, and several officers of distinction, both ofthe Army and Navy, had entered on board the Virginia, she returned to this place, followed by the steam boats Petersburg and Richmond on the lar- board side, and the Potomac and the United States on the starboard ; the Virginia follow- ing in the rear in the centre, thus formiiig.‘a_s it were, an elypsis, when they moved up in a very handsome style, the bands on board playing sortie very appropriate airs, while the heights were thronged with troops and specta- tors, anxious to see and pay their respects to the man, whose career oflife has never been equalled, and such a man will probably never exist agaiu—-I never witnessed such a scene. The feelings of all present were more or less excited when the General came on board the Virginia; but when he was addressed by B. W. Leigh, Esq. iubehalf of this State; the manner in which the address was delivered,as well as the style in which it was written, to- gether with the oil cumstauces which gave rise to such an address an this spot, all manifested stich , an appearance as I cannot describe.- The procession is just formed, and the “ Na- tiou’s Guest,” in an elegant baroucbe, drawn by four beautiful grey horses, is moving tip into the town_. i : New-YORK, Oct. 19. . Brig .41herf.—-\Vc ineutioned a few days since,that thc brig Albert,Phillips, of this port, was captured, while on her voyage from Cadiz and Gibraltar to Havana, by the Co- lombian privateer schr. Gen. Padilla. Capt. Phillips reached this city yesterday, by the way ofNassau._ We learn from him that the Albert was captured on the 12th ofSeptember when off Stirup Key, all ofthe crew, except Capt.,P. one man and a boy, and the passen- gers, taken oitt, and a prize crew of I officer and 4.men put on board, and the vessel order- ed for Carthagena. The Albert had a valua- ble cargo, most of which was taketron board at Gibraltar,ond wholly owned by a merchant in Baltimore, _who will no doubt demand rep- aration for his loss of the Colombian gov’t. Oirthe night of the 11th, the Albert was driven ashore during a hurricane, atKey Gor- da, near Abaco. The crew reached the shore next day in the long boat, and after the gale subsided, succeeded in obtaining some water, bread and clothing ftoiu the wreck, necessary for their immediate subsistence.

Ni:w-Or.t.i~:ANs, Sept. §.’.1.—The Sickness. We regret to say that the sickness has lost none of its malignancy ; every day brings with it the melancholy record of some victiui to its desolating grasp. At no season, since that ofl817, has the epidemic been so gene- rally fatal ; and were our city crowded with strangers to the same extent it was in former years, the number ofdeaths would exceed that which occurred during the worst ofthese pe- riods. Not less, we believe, than seven ofour physicians have fallen victims to disease, since the middle of August. We sincerely lament thisstate of our city, but every considerate mind mtist give way to it, and however great the loss may be to those in trade, yet it is our duty to advise abseutces and strangers to keep without the pt'ecincts of the city until we are visited with frost. Indian IVars.——Acconnts are received at St. Louis from Fort Armstrong, stating the retiiru of a party of Sank Indians to that vi- cinity froni an expedition of 30 days against the Sioux, of whoui they had killed 14, but had afterwards lost 10 of their own number, and escaped with difficulty. They passed a large number of cattle killed by arrows,_ sup- posedto have belonged to a drove in charge of 5 Americans and Q Frenchmen, probably murdered and robbed by the Indians. Extract from a fallen‘ dated Fort Craugford, Prairie du Cliien. Sept. Sd, 18224. The Indiausjn this part ofthe country are not as pcaceable as formerly. There have been two instances of murder within a few weeks not a great distance from the Prairie; the first iuslzince was it couple of deserters, from St. Anthony, on their way to St. Louis; they were overtaken by a parcel of Chippe- was,killed and scalped.-'—The second instance occurred last month: four respectable persons living at the Prairie, left this post-to go to St. Anthony ;on the fifth night after their depar- ture they came too, for the purpose ofmaking a fire and cooking some provisions; they were unfortunately in the neighborhood ofa Chip- pewa war party, it is supposed their nitmber was about 100, who iintnediately killed and scalped them, leaving their bodies to be de- vourcd by beasts and birds ofprey ;when they were discovered, the bodies were so lacerated as to make it impossible to discriminate be- tween them. It has made some stir amongst us, and possibly the result may he an Indian war. ' PHILADELPHIA, October 20.-—Suspicions ofa most distressing character have been, for some few weeks, partially afloat in this city, implicating the character ofa respectable cit- izen, a store-keeper in Market st. and which it is now in our power, and we deem it otirdu- ty, to set at rest for ever. A child, about 11 years of age, resided with him as a bound girl. In the_mouth of August the child suddenly, and in the opinion ofmauy, mysteriously, dis- appeared. The statement was, tlrat in the middle ofthe month ofAugust, the girl had been sent by her tnaster, to throw a dead rat into the river, and that she had never return- ed. After some weeks, an inquiry was insti- tuted beforea Magistrate, in this city; but the testimony was of such a character, that he felt bound to dismiss the inquiry. Soon after, auotherinquiry was instituted before his honor the Mayor; after diligent investigation, and the examination of many witnesses, he, also, felt it his duty to dismiss the case. On this occasion, a volunteer witness, not known to the defendant,swore that he knew thechild which was missing, and its uncle, and that he had seen the child and the uncle together, several days after the day on which she had left her master’s house. It was soon after ascertained, by the oath ofthe tinclc, that he had not seen the child since May, 1828. The grand-parents ofthe ' child, alarmed and ap- preheusive'ofits fate, instituted a third inqui- ry, before another magistrate ofthis city. At an adjourned exainiuation held last eveui ng, the counsel ofthe accused declared that by whathe might venture to call an almost mir- aculous interposition of Divine Providence, they had happily, since the last examination, on Saturday, succeeded in discovering where the child was, and they would now produce her. She was accordingly produced, and in- stantly recognized by her relatives and friends. It appeared that the little girl, about the tst of Sept. went to beg bread at a house in the liberties. The lady of the house inquired iii- tqtbe condition of the child and, without knowingvany thing ofher previous history, or the suspicious, anxieties or inquiries, to which her disappearance had given birth, had the child put into the alms-hoiise, and, by the guardiansoftbe poor, bound to her husband with whom she now lives. The child appears healthy and hearty ; well fed and clothed.-— She had not, she said, been at any time, on board a steam boat. FOREIGN. From the .I\"ew York Gazelle.

In conse- quence the King has issued a decree, and di- rvcted all the authorities to detect and ‘bring to punishment all who attempt to detract from the honor and consideration which the French army,he says, are entitled to for their eminent services to his person, the Spanish nation, and the cause of religion.
