t AMD&.Y, a. i . TliUUSDAY, .ViAKCH 4, lfel& ICT* The Rev. Mr. Hen-kit, of ^?ium Kia, will perform Divine Service, in lue Presbyterian Church on Sabbath next. THE COURTS. A doubt having arisen, as to the Gov error's power to ai^5o>?t a person, to fill the situation became vacant by the resignation c.t the Hon. L. (Jhkvks, we have examined ihelawof 1769, and on comparing it with taut of the last Session of the Legislature, find that tiie former recently applies to ,4 Sick irux or Jb*>ncc" not to ^Resigna tion." Therefore, by the powers granted tmr Governor, under the common taw and const it u* ion, to fill up vaca:?t offices during the recess,?the law remains//? Stum Quo, and we have no doubt Wis Excellency will execute the pove:\ Subscribers to the " Camden Gazette*' at Mr. Millers, Mr. Bailey's s'oic, I Tat Rock and lit ckhamsville ai e informed that their papet swill in future be sent to Sund~ ton ! >->' < hiice, and it is hoped will be pleasing to those who subscribe on that routes whicn will save the expense to the proprietor of a private Post. It is said, and we have i.o doubt correct ly, tl^at the Prt-sv e t of ' --v U iied states yesterday laid before \ lvjSei.ate a 1 RE ^ T Y recently concluded be ..we*mi Mr. Sv;c.\ arv ^dams, on the put ot* the Unitkd Stairs, and Don Luis dk On is,- on the part of .Spun, roil A CESSION OF FLORl !) \ to the U; i ed States, and a pr ovision fi>i* the payment, in consideration thercoi, of a sum ol inont y to our n tr oluu its having claims on the Spanisn gov ernment for spoliations on their property ; including also a settlement of the West Ccrn boundary line between the United States and Spain. 1 hi" highly important Tr ity, so luitf v.iahed, so long exp cted, if ratified, will impose on Congress the necessity of organizidfl a government for that territory before adjoin nm? nt, and will idd thus much to the masivtrf important business already before them. A a!. Int. 2 3 d ult. The Florida#.?The Raleigh Star t)f the 19lh inst. contains the follow in^T From Washington?" It is be lieved that the Spanish Minister han concluded a Treaty with the,United ?? States, by which the Florida* have been ceded. This, we think, may be relied on." A private letter from a reject able source at Washington, received in this city on Saturday last, see aft to have continued this information. Charleston Times. In Saturday's Courier we gave some particulars of the conduct of a set of outlaws, who have for a long time past infested the road in the vi cinity of this cjty, and whose out rageous conduct had of late become insupportable. We then stated that the occupants of a small house live miles from town, had been driven out, and the building burnt to the ground, and that certain others, in possession of. a lumso one mile abo\e, had been compelled to leave it, and another person put in possession of it by its owner. It now appears, that as soon as the citizen* had re turned to town, the persons who had been thus compelled to leave the last mentioned house, returned to it in ? the evening, and beat the person w ho had been put in possession in a most inhuman manner, w hen he es caped into the woods and made the best of his way to town. The next morning, the same gang stopped a traveller upon the road, lieat him cruelly, out his head in several places, and then nibbed him of about 30 or 8K) in money. These circum stances being made known to the civil authority, the SheriiF of this Dis trict collected a posse of citizens, and proceeded on Saturday afternoon to the sp<it, surrounded the house, and seized upon its occupants, (tlnee men and two women); after which they burn1 the house and out-build ings to the ground, without allowing tli * occupants to remove an sriicle of it* content's ; brought the oil* nders to and committed them to gaol. The pos?e found in an out-house, 'he hide of a cow, which had been *4 ?ently killed, and n> hich was iden ifled to be the propyl ty of one * f out < .zeus, Slie bad been missing for several davs. This accounts for the % manner in which the cows are dis posed of, which are so frequently stolen and never afterward* heard of. The inmates Of theuhouse were arm ed with ten or twelve muskets, and a keg of powder, but the force \n hich went against them was foo imposing to admit any chance of success in a resort to arms. One of the leaders in these high handed depredations was arrested in town on Saturday afternoon, and likewise committed to gar,I. We trust that these decisive steps will restore quiet to the neigh borhood, and enable our country brethren to enter and leave the city, without the fear of insult or robbery. Charleston Courier ttith ult. By the arrival of the sc liooner.
