yesterday received letters trom Cap!.
Reed, at Madrid, and tin the 29th

some are dipbtful whether it will he

As the fire million of dollars is
not suppose! to be sufficient to satis
fy all the cliims of the merchants for
property confiscated, with interest,
and the Spinish government being
discharged romany balance of claims,
the delay of ratification will te at
the loss of the interest by our mer

SAVANNAH, JULY 27
In Qouneili ttovannahy July 26, 1819.
The freouejit enquiries made by
citizens and strangers, where lie
the remains of the gallant General
(?reeney who cied ami was buried in
our city ?" and the acknowledged
want of information on this sulgect,
imply * neglect highly reproachful to
the known patriotism and feelings of

would he desirable* and, in fact, al
most our duty to satisfy public curi
osity in this instance,, and thereby
give ati opportunity lo the people of
this Stnte, among whom the (; xeral
lived ami dim!, to testify a s ?are of
tlieir gratitude ol Hie noble and iiu
portant services render in the re\olu
tion by this great and eminent soldier
and patriot: and though this be done
late, it is yet but a common res|>ect
to liis memory for this body to claim
his precious remains and remove
theui from the vault where they dre
uow supposed to be deposited, and
mingling with the ashes of thoso'in
no wise a kin to him, and have tl?ni
intcred under the order, sanction and
special protection of this board, so as
to enable the Legislature or the pub

TUSCALOOSA, (A. T.) JULY I.
By a gentleman uom Tombecliee
tve are informed that General Jack
son lias wrjtteoi to Mehuleetuhbee,
head chicf of one of the three grand
divisions of the Chactaw nation,
through the interpreter Peachland,
requesting them to meet him at a
time and place s|>ecifled, (when or
\> here our informant did not learn)
to hold a conference on the subject of
hereof that part of their nation
to tW United States. W hen our in
formant left there Mehuleetuhbee and
Peachland were on a tour through
die district to Consult the other chiefs
and head men on the subject; and
the opinion was almost universal
among the whites in the neighbour
IhkkI, that tho district will l>e ceded
to the Uuitetl States, either by sale
or by exchange of lauds oil the Ar
kansas?though not immediately.
We learn from another source,
that a deputation of the Chactaw na
tion visited the country on the Ar
kansaw, with a view of such an ex
change, and have made a very favor
able report both of the country and
quantity of game, tlf Consequence
of which a great number of the Chac
taws have expressed a willingness to
exchang6 with rite United States on
the same terms as those granted to the
Cherokees. The district embraces
the military crossing on the Beskbee,
where it lias lately been determined,
the great road from Nashville toi
New-Orleans shall cross thqt river*
Mr. Meig??Ageut for the Cher
okee Nation has given notice to in-?,
trades on the Cherokee land*? that
unless they remove off the said lands
by the first of July, he shall apply to
(ien. Jackson to remove them by
Military force. These intruders were
ordered to leave the nation before the
season of planting, and* many did
then remove; but many others set
ting at defiance both law and justice,

CHARLESTON JULY 31.
- More Piracy?ami ?fiiuitler !?
i Seveu men were apprehended in (his
city oil Wednesday niglit last, utider
a Bench Warrant from the lion.
Judge Drayton, and committed to
t?aol, charged with Piracy ami Mur
der I?Several more oT~nie~gaitg are
now lurking about our tilv, and the
Police are making diligent search
for them. One \jf the prisoners,
nftmed Kef.d, turned Stated evi
dence, and yesterday gave a partial
statement ot* their. nefarious and
bloody transactions, before Air. Par
ker, District Attorney.
It appeals that these moil, or most
of them, belonged to the smack Late
reuce,. Captain Attwi<!k, the pro
perty of Mr. J. J- Danu.l, of iliis
city, w hich vessel arrived hero on
the 16th inst. ostensibly from A wreck
ing cruize off the Florida Coast,
with a cargo of Coffee, in hulk. On
his arrival. Capt. A. reported, that
w on the 14th inst. near Muscpiito,
1^5 fell in with a schooner, not hav
ing a single person onboard; that
lie took out a load of Coffee in bulk,
and proceeded to this place."
| From the declarations of Reed,
however, as far as obtained, it ap
pears that the sloop was sent by her
L owner, from Havana, (where he
now is) to the Florida Coast, |p cut
Wood. She there mqt with a small
; piratical sloop, the Captain and crew
of which affected to believe that
Capt. Attwick had brought money
to purchase a cargo, which the latter
denied?stating that he had but seven
dollars. This was taken from him,
aud lie hung up for some time in the
shrouds, to make him confess. Af
ter being convinced that ho had no*
money, the piratical Captain propoe
ed to uAtxwick antf-^Wrtrew, to
join him in ^piVatie4l^iiiize. After
consulting his men, tWy^raed, wjtl?
the excentiou of the above namtd
Rkbu. He being indirectly threat
ened Id case of non-compliance, at
length acceded, nsba declares, to
save his life. Both sloops then sail*
ed in company, and soon after, on
the Fk>ri<la Coast, (hey fell in tvitli
the British brig' Anw, ('apt. 8eekey,
from Matanfcas, bound to Falmouth,
(Eng.) in distress, which they board*
ed avid ran ashore. The brig's
crew consisted of ten, including of
ficers. teix of her men joined the
pirates, and then informed the Capt
of the gang, that the Captain ami
Mate of the brig could not be trust
erf. Immediately after, they, with
the cock and one man, who had re
fused to join the pirates, were Inhit
maaty Murdered and throwir over
board ! Both sloops were then load
ed with Coffee, as above described,
and the story made up that was told
here, previous to their leaving the
brig.
It is believed the foregoing state
ment is substantially correct: and
we hope in our next to give a further
developement of this horrid and
abominable transaction. Indeed, wo
are in possession of further particu
lars, which it is deemed injudicious
at present to make public. We
sincerely hope that every virtuous
citizen w ill exert his energies to bring
to the gallows, a gang of ctit-thrmt
villains, who are ttie disgrace of hu
manity.
