Head-Quarter- Camp Btotrx-r- , Feb. 6, 1818.BRIGADE ORDERS.

The command of the troops, at thiscamp, devolves on col. A. P. Ilayne.

As the camp is to be immediatelythe troops will be in readiness

to Marchat the shortest notice com-mandants of regiments, and officers atthe heads of companies, will be prepar-ed accordingly.

Colonel Hayne knows how to valuethe brave volunteers committed to hischarge, by major-gener- al Jackson. Hefeels no common degree of pride in beingassociated with the veteran troops ofWest Tennessee ; for he has been anjeyc witness of their fortitude and valorin the field of battle.

Our reputation and safety, as soldiers,require the introduction of due subordi-nation, and regular discipline and theestablishment and maintenance of a pio-pe- r

police. Without discipline, evenwith the best materials, nothing but dis-

aster can rationally be anticipated ; it istherefore necessary on the first organiza-tion of the troops, to adopt and maintaink proper subordination ; in order that ourmen, when they meet the enemy, may beable to act inunison, and with that effi-

cient confidence and vigor, which gooddiscipline always inspires, For the ac-

complishment of the contemplated ob-

jects, the commanding officer relies, withconfidence, on the cordial and sincere co-

operation of all the officers.The field officers will take up their

q .arters in camp ; and for the suture,must not leave it, without permission.

The siring of guns in camp, for the su-

ture, is forbidden.The commanding general is now look-

ing for us and in order to meet hiswishes, we must make a prompt and ex-

peditious movement.A. P. HAYNE,

letter w ritten by Capt. Beale, accompanyingtheaword, winch had been voted to the generalby the New-Orlea- Rifle Company :

A'ashville, Jan. 20.Dear Sin. I cannot adequately ex-

dress my grateful feelings on the recep-tion of the elegant Sword, presentedthrongh you b) the New-Orlea- Volun-teer Company of Riflemen. The valueof this affectionate tiibute, is peculiarlyenhanced, as coming from those who pai --

ticipatedin the same scenes, and encoun-tered the same dangers, which it is in-

tended to commemorate. On the me-morable 23d of December, when thetroops of Britain first attempted to pol-lute the banks of the Mississippi, themembers of the New-Orlea- Rifle Com-pany shone 'conspicuous ; and the sew

Drav e worthies of that little Spartan band,who escaped the carnage of that night,maintained their gallant reputationthroughout the subsequent and repeatedconflicts that characterized the Orl anscampaign, it was to choice spirits likethese, that Louisiana owes her secondindependence, and while she numberssuch ambng her sons, she has naught toilsear from foreign aggression.

Bay, Jan 14. .

Our difficulties are iust commencing.the Indians are more hostile than everand have assembled in larger numbersthan heretofore, linintrthe whole distanceof the river ; we shall have consequent-ly, t0 sight our way up to Fort Scott ; thelast vessels that have ascended, lost seve-ral killed and wounded. A truard hasthis evening joined, commanded by capt.trimmings, and we shall move immedi-ately on up the river. He lest Fort Scotton the 10th instant. There has been noengagement since the last accounts younave received ; he informs me that allcommunication by the land side with thetort is cut off, being completely sur-rounded with Indians, our only access toit is by the way of the river, and that veryprecarious. 1 he two last expresst-- s werecutoff, and their papers destroyed. Themilitia have not yet joined. What addsto the unpleasantness of our situation is,that they are short of provisions, and thetwo vessels we expected toMiave met,iiave not been heard of; there is somereason to sear that they have attempteilto pass up the river, and have been cutoff.

The Indian war is about to assume a.very different complexion from what wasat first anticipated by our commandinggeneral; it will prove to be very serious,and most probably will not be terminatedfor some time. We nave a numerous,foe, such as they are, to contend with, andperhaps they are Indians of a differentdescription from any we have hithertobeen engaged with ; this may be consi-dered as their last struggle, and no doubtthey will be desperate ; they muster ac-

cording to the best accounts, about 3000warriors. M bile Gazette.

A letter from an officer of the UnitedStates army, dated Mibile, February 2,states, " thatour troops on the Flint riverare closely besieged by the Indians, andthat the mouth of Appalachicola riveris closely blockaded by Col. Woodbineof notorious memory, with two armedschooners, manned with 500 ,

NEW-TOn- FEB. 21.AVILLIAM COBBET1'.

We gatner from the report of a com-mittee of the Pennsylvania Legislature" That in August, 1797, a warrant wasiss ed by chief justice M'Kean, ti ap-

prehend William Cobbett, on a char ,efor publishing sundry libels against theking of Spain, and his minister the cuo-vali- er

de Yrujo. On this charge thesid Cobbett was bliged to enter into arecognizance before the chief justice,iiimsel! in the sum of $2000, and twosureties each in the sum of S1000, to be" of good benaviour towards the com-monwealth and all the liege people," un-'- ii

the next court of oyer and terminor.""The indictment predicated on this war-

rant, was returned ignoramus but it wascontended ihat a breach of the recogni-zance had taken place before bringingthe suit, by the publication of" libels onthe late Governor Mifflin the board ofnealth of the city of Philadelphia, on the'nemory of Franklin and Rittenhousotogether with other publications, agan.sfcthe Spanish and French governmentsthe people of Virginia, and other statesof the United States."

The-jur- y gave a verdict for the Com-monwealth but three years having

and Mi. Cobbett having lest fiestate, his sureties were eventually com-pelled to pay the amount of the recog- -n ztnee.

The laws of Pennsylvania on the subject of iibels, admit tne truth to be givenin evidence, and that the jury have a

gnt to determine the law and the iv ts.The committee conclude by expressingtheir opinion that the proceedings in thecourts have been erroneous, and submita resolution for the reiiefof Mr. Cobbett.
