THE INDIANS. Franklin, Ten. Aug. 11. At about 12 o'clock, to-day, the president of the United States, accompanied by general Coffee, arrived at the residence of the honorable J. H. Eaton, in this place. It is understood he will return home in a few days, and be here again on the 20th, to meet the Chickasaw delegation, which, by the following letter, it seems, will be here at Chickasaw council house, Aug. 5. Honorable JOHN H. EATON: Dear Sir: I am authorized by the national council of the Chickasaws, to say, they will meet the president on the 20th, by a delegation of chiefs and principal warriors, clothed with power to exchange lands, &c. I am, respectfully, your servant, WESTERN ELECTIONS. We are yet without informa tion to determine the political results of the elections in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Mississippi. The returns come in slowly, and the preferences of individuals are not distinctly stated, on either side. POSTSCRIPT. IMPORTANT, INDEED! We stop the press, after the greater part of our impression is finished, to say that A vessel has arrived at Boston bringing positive intelligence that the king had already dissolved the new cham berg and suspended the laws concerning the liberty of the press; that he had also altered the laws respecting elections: in consequence the stocks fell, and a migh ty excitement prevailed. And the ship Hibernia, being telegraphed off New York at 2 o'clock on Thursday last, reports a revolution in France-that Lafayette heads the national guards, who had had a battle with the king's troops, in which the latter had lost six thousand men. There is every reason to believe the truth of this report. FOREIGN ARTICLES. Parliament was to be prorogued on the 23d, by the king in person, and dissolved the following day, by proclamation. Great interest and much discussion were excited in regard to the approaching elections. F. FOSTER. It is thought the other tribes invited will also be here shortly, but nothing has yet been heard from them. The Choctaws have offered to the president of the United States, through an agent, to part with their lands, and migrate beyond the Mississippi, provided the general government should "give the nation one million of dollars, and allow each man one section of tand to sell, and buy all our cattle at six dollars a head, hogs at two dollars a bead, or give us the same number after we had got west; and give us arms and ammunition plenty, and provisions on our way to our new home, and also one year's provision after our arrival there, and guaranty that country to us and our posterity forever, and lay it off into a state, and so soon as our population became great enough, allow us to send members to congress, and be received into the union, as one of the other states in the United States." If the reader will cast up these items, (says the National Intelligencer), placing the land demanded for sale, only at its minimum value, the demand is for a gratuity of something like twenty millions of dollars, besides a vast territory and a guaranty of political privileges beyond the Mississip-parliament! pi-at this rate it would cost the United States, besides the vast territory given in exchange, a boot of full fifty millions of dollars, to induce some forty thousand Indians to remove to the new country. The object is desirable-but there is such a thing as paying too dear for it. The beer bill has passed both houses of parliament. The London papers publish the message of president Jackson to congress relative to the colonial trade, without comment. Seats in the new parliament have been sold for £1,500, per session, which is thought a better bargain than giving the market price, namely, 5,000 guineas, for the whole There was a feeble display of party spirit in Ireland, on the 12th July, the Orangemen's anniversary.

When that gentleman should have made his report, he hoped it would be found that some measure could be adopted for framing a system of emigration on the principle recommended by his right hon. friend.-Till that could be done, he thought they would not be really meeting the distress of the country, nor the wants of any of the colonies, by sending out hundreds of settlers, for whom no previous preparation had been made." In the house of commons, on the 7th July, Mr. Peel, in answer to a member who inquired whether the negotiations with the United States, with respect to the colonies, has been brought to a conclusion--observed that negotiations were pending between his majesty's government and the United States on the subject, and that they had not as yet been brought to a final conclusion. The bishop of Bangor died on the 9th July. Four Catholic barristers have been appointed members of the king's counsel in Ireland. The king, accompanied by his wife, has resolved to visit Scotland and Ireland. The heavy rains in England have done much injury to the crops. The hay harvest had been materially damaged. The distress in Ireland is much spoken of in our English papers, and seems to be both poignant and general. As a sample of the miserable state of want and famine which the Irish people are experiencing, we find it mentioned, that in the town Kantuck, out of a population of 28,000 persons, no fewer than 12,000 are enrolled as paupers. The details given of the extremity of sufferings which they endure are heart-rending. Instances have taken place "of persons having bled the cattle for the purpose of subsisting on the blood, of families having lived for weeks on the coarse leaves of cabbage and on the leaves of the field, without any other food; and in consequence, the poor creatures may be seen in the streets with sunken eyes, haggard and emaciated countenances, exhibiting a mixture of yellow and green, that seems to vie with the unwholesome aliment on which they contrive to drag out a miserable existence." It is affirmed, that many persons had not eaten three full meals a week for a long time. The parish priest of Kilmore, in Ennis, Ireland, bas arrived at Liverpool to solicit assistance to keep the people from starving, and he obtained twenty-five pounds! It is stated, that fifteen thousand persons have nothing to eat but shell-fish-the old crop of potatoes being exhausted, and the new one not ready to supply them. The late king's character seems about to be freely spoken of in the British papers. Scotland has severely suffered by inundations-much growing grain was destroyed. In the account of the London fruit market, peaclies are quoted on the 17th July, at from 10s. to 24s. sterling per dozen; or from 19 to 44 cts. a piece! Asparagus at from 33cts, to one dollar a bunch. A full account of the things which happened at the interment of the late king, would fill eight or ten of our pages. We shall partially notice some of them-to gratify the public curiosity. The forgery bill-to render the crime not capital, except in certain cases, has failed in the house of lords. The duke of Sussex appears to be in favor with his brother, the new king-a condition in which he had not been placed in either his father's or his elder brother's reign. A great quantity of new sovereigns has been issued from the bank for the payment of the dividends.-This exhibits no apprehension, on the part of the directors, of a decline in the exchanges, all of which are higher. Gold, in fact, bears no premium sufficient to warrant the traffic in it, either at Hamburgh, in Holland, or any other part of the continent. account says that he left a will, and intimates that it provisions will not do honor to his memory. The present king is (though the fourth king William of England), the first English king of his name: William T. and II. being Normans, and William III. a Dutchman. It would seem from the court journal, that king Wil liam IV. is courting popularity by the most broad and sycophantic gratification of national prejudice.-He declares that he will not only be surrounded by Englishmen exclusively, but by persons looking like Englishmen. Accordingly he has dismissed all foreigners, even to the German band, and commanded the discontinuance of mustachois in the army. The late king made no will, and the whole of his immense wealth and effects will, therefore, either vest absolutely in his successor, or be enjoyed by his present majesty, as the property of the crown. [The late king might well be rich-for he cost the nation immense sums to support him, and aleo, pay his debts.) A subsequent I Their royal highnesses, the dukes of Cumberland and Sussex, have been the first to testify their respect to his majesty's wishes, by getting rid of their mustachois. [What will become of our old and young dandies who have so much cultivated pairs of whiskers because they were fashionable in England? The servile imitation that induced this bristley proceeding, will soon cause them to be submitted to the desolation of Pompey's wellsharpened steel. If saved, they will answer well for stuffing matrasses-being already "curled hair."] A late London paper says-We understand that the uniform of the whole army is to be assimilated; that the Hussar regiments will be made light dragoons, changing their color from blue to red: even the artillery are to adopt a scarlet uniform. This arrangement will im part a more regular and national appearance to the British line, which has hitherto exhibited a very partycolored character in the field. The total number of stamps used by the London newspapers in the year 1829, was 17,195,279. We have a long list of appointments in the "royal household." The king's son, col. Fitzelarence, by Mrs. Jordan, has received a valuable place. The ministry remained yet untouched-though much was said about changes. French affairs. The result of the French elections, already decided, is as follows:-Opposition, 199; ministerial 123, of the Lorgeril party 11. Of the 221, who voted for the hostile address in the last chamber, 141 have already been reelected. By an official report of the French revenue, during the last half year, there has been an increase of 1,337,000 francs, compared with the receipts in the same period in 1828; and of 10,863,000 francs, as compared with the returns of last year, which is considered very remarkable. The Drapeau Blanc, thus accounts for the loss of the elections: "The clowns are rich, and the gentlemen are not electors. This is the reason why the elections proceed sa badly; but when it comes to the firing of musketry, we shall see on which side the majority will be." [The "firing of musketry," to controul the votes of the people, and the opinions of their representatives!] It is intended to introduce the camel into the south of France. Several of the principal proprietors of the departments des Landes, being apprised of the views of government in this respect, have offered to contribute all their efforts towards naturalizing this animal amongst them, which is likely to be so useful in this country. Miscellaneous. The Greeks are in a state of great anxiety and distress, The insurrection of the Albanians threatens a casting off of the Turkish yoke. An agent of the house of Rothschild was at Pera (near Constantinople) negotiating a loan to the sultan-it was supposed that Russia would guarantee the payment. Subsequent accounts say that the terms had been arranged for eight millions of ducats, This is a new and strange event in the annals of Turkey. The affairs of the sultan appear much deranged, and respect for his authority seemed rapidly on the decline. A small insurrection has broken out in Spain-proclaiming Don Carlos king. Portugal remains in a most gloomy state. A letter from Diest (Netherlands) says, that, on the 30th of June, at eleven at night, the dome of the church of Notre Dame fell down, with a dreadful crash. This church was built in 1180. If the accident had happen ed during the day, above 100 persons would have perished. An altar is destroyed, and several pictures and statues are among the ruins. Gen. Guerrero is still in arms, and has a considerable force in Mexico. To the south of the capital, he is robbing and sacking villages. We are sickened with the convulsions-the increasing contentions of generals in the new American republics, and disgusted with the fool`ish people, who do not put them down. Liberty may be won by the sword, but is never enjoyed under its dominion. An armed people and an unarmed magistracy is the only security for freedom. which run to the east and west of Algiers. It was on this side that the enemy had assembled his greatest force. The brigades of Berthier and Hurel used in the attack as much vigor as they had showed constancy and coolness in the defensive position which they had occupied on the preceding days. Being broken by them, the enemy did not wait the shock on the other points, and on all sides they took to flight. Later news-London papers of the 20th July. The prospects of the harvest in Ireland (in opposition to the last reports) are now said to be "most alarming," and because of the late heavy rains in Scotland, it is feared that the oat and potatoe crops will be nearly de-ties of the plateau which commands it; the duke of stroyed, in many large districts. Yet, the demand for foreign grain had rather declined, and there is a large quantity of bread-stuffs in bond, waiting a rise in price, that the DUTY may become moderate!-but rice, "in bond," commanded from 168. 6d. to 17s. The majority of the liberals in the French chamber of deputies, it is said, will be not less than ninety-the chamber was dissolved because there was a majority of 40 against the king and his ministers. What will be done, now? The capture of Algiers has had no effect on the politics of France. The king is in a state of much perplexity and no small difficulty. Some predict impor tant events. It is said that 1,500 pieces of brass cannon, 30 vessels of war, frigates and corvettes, &c. with a great supply of munitions, with fifty-five millions of francs, in money, fell into the hands of the French at Algiers. That city is said to be in a very quiet state. The French found many bales of cotton outside the parapets of Fort Emperor. It is computed that 18,000 cannon balls were fired on the 3d July from the fleet and the batteries. The Arabs were bringing large supplies of provisions into the French camp. French 5 per cents, July 17, 105 50-four's 994. Latest news-London papers of 23rd July. King William, in person, and with much ceremony, attended at the house of lords, and ascended the throne on the 23rd July. The house of commons being summoned, the speaker addressed him, and presented sundry bills-after which the king delivered a speech to both houses, and prorogued the parliament,, &c. The division of Berthezene changed its direction, and proceeded to occupy the crest of the heights which rise between the sea and the point of attack of the division of d'Escars; these heights command all the neighboring country. General Loverdo marched towards the empe ror's fort, and took advantage of the nature of the ground to establish two battalions at less than 400 metres (140 yards) from that fortress, and upon one of the declivid'Escars immediately apppoached the emperor's fort, in order that the two brigades might be enabled to combine the very next night in opening the trenches. Although the height of the most elevated point of the hills which surround Algiers is not above 200 metres, the varieties in the face of the country are strongly marked the depth of the ravines, the extreme steepness of their banks, the trees and hedges with which the soil is entire ly covered, rendered the marches of the second and third division long and fatiguing. In the action of the 29th we had 40 or 50 men killed or wounded. The enemy left many dead on the field of battle: A flag and five pieces of cannon were taken. The greater part of the European consuls were at a short distance from the field of battle, assembled with their families in the house of the consul of the United States. I gave orders for ensuring their safety. All agree in saying that since the action of the 14th the milita has sustained considerable losses, and that the army which attacked us on the 19th contained at least 50,000 effective men. Several hundreds of Jews, whom the dey had driven from Algiers, were found scattered about the gardens. They were left at liberty. Even during the night which followed the action, general Valaze traced the first work, at about 250 metres from the emperor's fort; the soldiers, notwithstanding the fatigues of the day, labored at them with ardor. Several batteries have already been begun; it is probable that they will be mounted with artillery in the night of the 2d and 3d of July, and that on the 3d, at day-break, 26 heavy cannon will open at once.-Three hours after, the fire of the fort will be silenced. The fall of Fort Barbazoune will follow close upon that of the empe ror's fort; upon which all the batteries raised on the Sir Robert Wilson has been restored to the rank of country to the east of the town must speedily fall into lieut. general, which he held in 1821, when he was dis-our hands.

Before the king entered house of lords, the inspection of the vaults were made, as usual, ever since the day's of Guy Fawkes. Ireland is filled with crowds of people begging foodthe "images of famine and disease." Much anxiety exists in France because of expected differences between the king and the chamber of deputies. "Revolutionary principles" are spoken of and they are also said to abound in Spain. We have further accounts from Algiers-all quiet in the city. The Jews, who are numerous, are much pleased with the change of government. The late dey and his family had arrived in a French frigate at Mahon. He is reported a "prisoner." FALL OF ALGIERS. To his excellency the president of the council of mi nister's. "Camp before Algiers, July 1. "Prince,-The plan of attacking the enemy before Algiers, on the 29th, at day-break, was executed; but the measures which had at first been taken received some modifications in the three divisions of the army. The ardor and the zeal are the same in all-I thought that the honor of fighting should be equally divided: The attack of the right was intrusted to the 2d and 3d brigades, of the divisions of Berthezene; that of the centre to the 1st and 3d brigades of the division of Loverdo. 'The duke d'Escars received orders to attack on the left This camp is established in the midst of gardens, whose shade astonishes those who are accustomed to consider Africa as a country almost entirely destitute of vegetation. Each garden has wells, whose cool and clear water is sufficient for the wants of the army. Little rivulets, enclosed in conduits, will serve also to supply water for the men and horses. The temperature is high for eight hours in the day. In the evening the air is cool, and even damp. Some soldiers are attacked with dysentery, but this disease does not appear of a serious nature. I entreat your excellency to request the favors of the king for M. d'Albenas, lieutenant-colonel of the 30th regiment of infantry of the line; and for M. Chambaud, chef de battalion of engineers. The first, on the 27th, had his left arm much contused by a ball, but he refused to leave his corps; on the 29th he received another wound. M. Chambaud was wounded from a biscayan (long firelock) some hours after the opening of the trenches; he is an officer of great distinction. I have the honor, &e.

I had signed the convention: he put his seal to it, but desired that the armistice might be prolonged until the 5th, at noon, in order that he might have time to summon his eouncil, and induce it to subscribe to the conditions prescribed.

"Prince-The opening of the fire before the fort of of the emperor was deferred till the 4th of July, in order that all the batteries might fire at once. I thought that by striking awe into the enemy on the very first day by a great superiority in our fire, I should abridge the duration of the operations. "We had reason to expect vigorous sallies. The occupation of the fort of the emperor allowed the enemy to assemble without danger before the Casauba. They did not profit by this advantage. However, every thing was ready to give them a good reception. "The batteries had been erected with astonishing rapidity. Among the 26 pieces of artillery mounted in them, there were 10 24-pounders, 616-pounders 4 10 inch mortars; and 6 8-inch howitzers, deferred for twenty-four hours. I required that the forts, the port, and the city, should be delivered up to the French troops, at 11 o'clock in the morning. The dey consented, and at this moment the standard of France is hoisted on all the towers of the city, the subjection of which has been for so many ages the object of the wishes of all Europe.

Torrents of flame, clouds of dust and smoke, rose to a prodigious height; stones were thrown in all directions, but did not cause any serious accidents.
