AN.dalcdSt. June 7, 1H17 "In consequence of the late frequent Areda-tions of pat ties of armed Indians upon the southern frontier which were attended with murder of the most savage nature, and the loss of cattle and other stock to a very large extent a small party of men assembled at Clark's mills, in Camden county, of 12th ultimo, for the purpos-ot pursuing their trail, and to ascertain, as near ly as possible, to what tribe the savages belonged After a march of about eighty miles, they disco vered, at about nine o'clock in the evening, an Indian camp, which they fired into, killed one, and wounded others who fled at the first lire. 1 hey were about fifteen in number From this camp was taken seventeen horses, several muskets, ammunition, Those who fled were pursued and overtaken a night or two after, fired upon, and two more killed.

COMMUNICATION. THE PRESIDES TOUR. Although great preparations are making in towns through which the President is expected to pass, to receive him in a most distinguished manner and although his reception has hitherto been splendid beyond any thing ever known in our country, yet these honours seem wholly unsolicited by him. We understand it was his intention at first, to have travelled as a private citizen, and we believe that plan has been adhered to as far as could have been, consistently with Law. As his is not a tour of pleasure, but an official excursion, whose object is military and naval improvement, it is impossible he should, if the rules and articles of War, which are the "Laws of the Land," are properly regarded, approach or depart from a vessel of war, or a fortification, without receiving military honours.

The performance of these duties, by commanders of ships and posts, must necessarily proclaim to the country the distinguished person to whom 12 do Warranted SCYTHES do SCYTHE SNATHS Likewise, 4 Hhds. nice CIDER 3 do do VINEGAR.

Bills paused granting to Benjamin Stevens the right of keeping a ferry over a certain part of Connecticut river to incorporate the proprie dieir return, nearly opposite Gen. Porter's house, and about the middle of the river, the wind expected the president will be in Boston on the ensuing Fourth of July, and we ought to feel no surprize, should he so arrange his posts as to meet this expectation. It is no less honourable to him than to the citizens of Massachusetts, that he should unite with them in the celebration of Independence. Although Boston has heretofore been censured as being somewhat wrong-headed, as well as hot-headed, in politicks, yet this occasion manifests a desire of all parties to meet the first man in the nation upon the field of political toleration, according to his request to all at his inauguration. And when people are thus forgiving when the odious cry of Democrat, Federalist, Tory, and Jacobin are no longer heard what place is more proper to be honoured by the presence of the Chief Magistrate on this occasion, than the "Cradle of our for such Boston really was.

As Americans we may certainly boast of our institutions they are peaceable founded in reason the nation is powerful, and the hand of government strong. While rulers of other nations require troops to protect them in their smallest excursions, the President of the United States needs only to be known to be received in all parts of the nation with enthusiastick attention. While in England the assistance of an armed force is frequently necessary to carry into effect a common judgment of a court, in America the most odious judicial decision is respected. Magistrates are uniformly supported by the people, and the people in their turn supported and protected by magistrates and the President, as well as the poorest man who bows in his presence, considers himself amenable to the same law, triable by the same jury, and no mote privileged in his private capacity than any other man in community. The king of England can (by fiction of lavv) do no wrong he is sued for his contracts by petition only and he swells at pleasure the black catalogue of domaslick crimes while here, his eqaul in dignii as well as authority, dares not trespass changing, Mr.
