DOCUNniOTS Accompanying the Report of Committee of the House of Representative*. ap pointed io enquire into the spirit and manner in ’which the war has been waged by the enemy. (Continued.) Easternshore, Maryland. Siu—Multiplied engagements and forget fulness, iuceeeding each other, have prevent ed my forwarding to you this statement of the depredations committed on my propeity at Sharp’s Island, by the enemy while in the Chesapeake. On the 12th of April, while I was in the act of removing my stock, &c. they landed upwards of an hundred men and prevent ed my removing any thing. They detained me on the Island until the seventeenth, in which time they were principally engaged in getting water. Declarations were made by Admiral Warren and the other officers, that every thing of the stock or grain kind, taken away, should be paid for, at a fair price. Admiral Cock burn was, as I was informed, at this time sent up the bay with the advance detachment of the fl et. Admiral W .rren’s ship and a few ten ders only, remained about the Island. At that time they took 28 hogs, 4 sheep, 12 cattle, 13 bushels of Indian corn, and informed me that they should allow the following prices f r them Hogs §2 1-2, sheep §2 1 2, cattle §l3 a piece, corn §1 per bushel. On my return to the Island some weeks afterwards, the. ac counts were made out, to the amount of §247, bills on their government for the amount, ex cept about §54 in specie. Before I returned to the Island, the fleet had all gone down the bay. I understood from the inhabitants, living insight of the Island, that the enemy had paid the Is! nd no*her visit and had made a gene ral sweep of the stock. On my arrival at the Island I found it too true. Tney had taken all mj sheep, in number 91; sixty five of which were 1-2 and 3-4 blood me inos, and one full blour where they detained me two days, until they had embarked Sc were ready io sail. I was on shore two days before they dis covered I was a public officer; I presume they sent me on board to prevent observation. After they had kept me until they were ready to start, they turned me ad ift in the ocean in a small boat with four Spaniards, not one of whom was acquainted with the bar more than myself, in consequence of which we got into the breakers and very narrowly escaped being lost; all th?se things were transacted under the direction of the humane Admiral Cockburn. I believe, from the conversation 1 overheard, that they intend to visit Beaufort, then Wilmington, and so on to the southward. My returns shall be made as soon as I can get what remain in some kind of order. Very respectfully, THOS. S. SINGLETON, Col. Hon. William Jones, Acting Secretary of the Treasury. C To be continued.

Georgetown, Sept. 17 3t 11|11 H WASHINGTON CITY MOMDAY, SEPTEMBER 20- We have yet no authentic informa tion from the Lakes. By the express mail of Saturday, we received a P.tts burg paper of Friday, from which the following interesting article is copied. I'o our great disappointment the mail brought no official confirmation of it Notwi hstanding which, taking all the pre-existing circumstances into view, the route by which the news came, and the extraordinary rapidity of its transmission, we feel no doubt of its be ing substantially true. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MERCURY. Cleavelanc, Sept 13. The mail carrier has this moment arrived from the w st, and brings the pleasing intelligence that Commodore Perry has captured six of the ek emy’s vessels; the Queen Charlotte was among the number. The action was on the 10th inst. between the hours of 12 and 3 o’clock, P. M. We expect soon to hear the particulars. VERMONT ELECTION. The Election in that state far gover nor, Lieut. Governor and State Legis lature, took place ©n Tuesday week Returns from 65 towns given for Gover nor, to Galusha Rep. 75 17 Chittenden Fed. 6237 The result of the Election is not as certained but there is very little dou t of the general success of the Republi can ticket. The Editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser who pledged himself to prove Mr Daschkoff’s conduct to have been unauthorised. &c. but has hitherto failed even to attempt the performance of his solemn promise, now informs his readers that he considers it necessary to redeem the pledge he has given to the public. His readers probably think with him—and the sooner he sets himself about it the better. We dare him to produce his proofs. If he does not, we repeat, he stands convicted before the world (and not he alone but most of his compeers) of having said the thing that is not. A meeting has been held at Lee town, in Virginia, of the citizens of Jefferson and Bt rkely counties, decid edly censuring the conduct of the Re publican Senators who have recently voted with the Federalists, in rejecting the preposed embargo. the nomina tions of Mr. Gallatin Mr. Russell, k particularly condemning the conduct of Wm. B. Giles, a Senator from that state. The conduct of Mr. Anderson, of Tennessee, has been po ntcdly censured for similar causes, by many of his con stituents and the papers of that state are filled by political writers with ex pressions ol their disapprobation. We learn, from these papers, that Mr. An derson, whose term of service expires on the 4th March, 1815, will decline a re-election to the Senate. THE ROSTRUM. Nearly three years have elapsed (say the Bal timore papers) since Mr. Ogilvie delivered the first series of his Orations in the principal cities of the United States. During tee greater part of this interval, his leisure has been appropriated to the revision of the I ’rations, which he formerly delivered, and to .he composition of anew series. His conviction ot Ilie utility and dignity of the design he has undertaken, is strengthened bj deliberate reflection, and confirmed by extensive experience. His exertions during the interval which he has devoted to revision of lite past and preparation for the future* have corresponded with con viction. Nor has he beossest -o? real .merit, should look upon Ws political ceiisureis with the same pegged that good wri ter regards his’critics.” It is to be hoped, that in expressing our coinci dence in this sentiment, we shall or once agree with those from whom it is our pleasure and our pride frequently to differ in opinion. Pittsburg, September 16. On Friday last capt Butl r’s comp, ny of Pittsburg Blues returned home, after having received an honorable dis charge from their twelve months’ ser vice in the north western army. Their return was hailed by their fellow-ciu zens with the usual demonstrations ol respect. 6a the day preceding, lieut. Drum’:, Greensburg rifle company passed thro’ this place on their way home. Milledgeville, Sept 8. Gen. Floyd arrived here on Sunday ana will proceed to the frontier intme diately to take command of the expudi tion against the Indians. Capt. Cuning ham’s company of regulars, and gene ral Wilkinson’s escort through the na tion left Fort Hawkins the day before yesterday for the Agency- When the remainder of the troops will take up •heir line of march is still uncertain. We hope, however it will be in a short time. Should the British arrive on our Oast before the hostile Indians are sub dued, *.ve may calculate on experiencing miseries “not felt before.” We understand that col. Hawkins has demanded of the governor of Pensacola an explanation of his co duct in supply ing the Indians with munitions of war. The United States’ frigate Constitu tion, Capt. C. Stewart, is nearly ready or sea at Boston. The United States’ brig Syren, at Boston, will be prepared for sea in a few days. SOUTHERN INDIAN WAR. AUTHENTIC INFORMATION. Extract of a letter, dated Creek Agency t 27th July. 18 13. The civil war among the Creeks has raged with great fury- The fana tics have destroyed Tuckabachee, the chiefs and the inhabitants having pre viously left it, under an escort of war riors from Cusseta and Cowetaw, and moved down to Cowetaw. Since then they have destroyed Kialijee and several of its inhabitants, and more than thirty have been killed on both sides Au beecoochee behaved with consummate bravery. A party under a frophet kill ed four of their chiefs —the warriors, killed him and his party, and hearing that Oackfuskaachee s'ded with the pro phets, they turned on them and cut the whole off. It is now reduced to a certainty, from the concurrent testimony of a number of respectable Indians, that this civil war originated with the British in Canada, and as soon as the chiefs friendly to the pLn of civil zation their adherents are murdered or put to flight, the f .natics will attack our frontier settlements with out delay. The friendly Indians of the Upper Towns are flying to Chattaho chee, where they will meet the aid of a military force Some regular troops have arrived at For' Hawkins, and the requisite military supplies are coming on. The Governor of Georgia having received ‘authentic information of a meditated attack has authority to call the state’s quota of the detachment of militia into the service of the United. States, and has the requisite power to co-operate with the friendly chiefs with out delay and with effect. The citizens in the forks of Alaba ma, and their neighbors the Half breeds, must put themselves into the best situa tion they can to resist an attack from Alabama.” Copy of a letter from Col. Joseph Car son to Brig. Gen. Claiborne of the Mississippi Militia. Mount Vernon, July 30,1813. Sih —l deem it my duty to communi cate to you the circumstances which led to the unfortunate rencountre with the Creek Indians on the 27th inst. to gether with the result of that affair from the best information I have received. A number of the Creek Ind ans have for some time evidenced a disposition hostile to the American government, and have at length succeeded in killing or driving from thiir land every chief in the American interest they have shot at the mail carrier, killed his horse,_ and taken several mails on the route be tween here and the state of Georgia. Some time since information was re ceived that a half breed by the name of Peter M’Queen, with about three hun dred warriors, were gone to Pensacola for the purpose of procuring arms and ammunition from the governor of that place, to enable them to make war upon the settlements of Tombigby. Persons of respectability were imme diately dispatcher to Pensacola so ascer tain whether the Indians were supplied with arms and ammunition by the gov ernor. and, if possible, to discover what were the intentions of the Creeks gene rally. These persons staid until the In dians had* received three hundred pounds of powder and a proportionate! quantity of Je d from the governor. They were not satisfied with this; said they must have mme and openly de clared they were going to war with the Americans; and that on their return t icy would be joined by seven hundred warriors at the Whetstone Hills (about one hundred m i< s fiom this place), where they would distribute their am munition and return against the Tom -01 g settl mi nts. On the rt turn of the persons from Pensacola with this information, about one hundred and seventy five men were nastily collected tog.tn rand proceed ed, ommanded by coi C Jlier, to meet the powder party, aid, if possible, to take the powder m-forc tiny were join ed by the p rty fiom the nation. On. Tuesday last, about 12 o’clock A. M. they met th, Inmans in the edge cf the Escambia Swamp, about 80 miles from this place attack d and drove them iu o the swamp, and took most of their pack horses. From the best information I could re ceive, I suppose ten or twelve of the In dians were kilb d, and many more wounded. Four of the whites were kdlud, and eight or pine wounded. The Indians were in the. swamp, and our men in-open woods. The commander drought it prudent to order a retreat the whites, generally, broke and ran in great confusion, and c.ol Caller, aitho* he used every exertion which a brave officer could do, and was supported by several officers and privates, was unable to rally his men or restrain their preci pitate flight. The Indians discovered their confusion and pursued them near ly a mile m open woods, and nothing saved our men from a general slaughter but the inability of the Indians to over take them. Although the whites were defeated,'

One number will therefore be published on the first of March, and another on the first of September in each year, just before the commencement of the circuits; so that the Profession, and the citizens in general, may be apprized of the progressive cl ange and exposition of the law, soon after they respectively occur, and at a time when such information is most desi rable. But the plan will also comprehend a variety of subjects connected with Legal and general Political Science, which, it is hoped, will render the work instructive and entertain ing, not merely to the practising Lawyer and the Student, but also to the Legislator and in telligent Citizen, who desires to contemplate, in their origin, spirit and effect, those princi ples of Legal Polity and Civil Freedom which form the basis of our own admirable institu tions. Hence, each number will contain select Biography es eminent Judges and Lawyers—Extracts from scarce and valuable publications—Opinions of foreign Jurists upon cases sent from Virginia and North Carolina before the Revolution, never before published —Arguments and Opinions of Judges and Counsel in important cases—and such Essays as have a tendency to enlighten the progress of Public Sentiment on certain projected alte rations of the Law, particularly that deeply interesting topic, the reformation of the Cri minal Code. Speeches of merit on subjects of permanent interest, discussed in the Legisla ture, will occasionally be inserted. Conditions —Each number will contain from 140 to 160 octavo pages, printed on fine medium paper, and with an elegant new type, cast in Philadelphia for the work. The price will be one dollar and fifty cents per number, four of which will form a volume. Each num ber to be paid for on delivery.
