I promised you news of importance, and have now to communicate such a treaty was signed a few days since, at this place, between Gov. Harrison, on the part of the United States, and the thieves of. The Kansas-Sulphur tribe of Indians, by which the United States have acquired at least eight millions of acres of land. The Saline creek, which makes into the Saline a few miles below the mouth of the Wabash—and soon thence along the high lands that divide the waters that fall into the whole country is ceded, from the junction of the Chino & Mississippi, on the one hand, — and those of the Chino & Mississippi, up to the mouth of the Saline, the river A Vase and the Kas VVabash, on the other, to the side that divides the above waters from those that fall into the Illinois river—thence in a direct line to the mouth of the Illinois, and shame to the Ohio. The Indians are all at peace, and now more attached to the United States than they ever have been before. The affairs have been conducted in such a manner, upon such principles, that their firmest confidence has been acquired. They find an obvious interest in cultivating our soil, and the task will be easy hereafter, in preserving the strictest amity with them. Many tribes, formerly powerful, have dwindled away, (temporalively speaking) into nothing. The Kas. Kaskians have now thrown themselves wholly under the protection of the United States. Measures, expectations, will shortly be taken, to assist them in preparing for cultivating a small tract of land, which is reserved for their use. They express much anxiety since farmers, and acquire the rudiments of civilization. Came in some measure, is destroyed, and it is with difficulty they obtain a subsistence from that source—sitting here, they have the strongest motives to turn their attention to agricultural pursuits; and the experiment which will be made on the Kas Laskias tribe will no doubt have a happy influence on the surrounding nations.

Alexandria Address. Tuzsoar, Sareigns 13. HEALTH-LIFE ICE, SEPTEMBER 12. A most alarming account of the prevalence of a malignant fever in this town having gone abroad, and the Committee of Health being appointed that ignorant and timorous persons may still continue to propagate such injurious, and, in a great measure, unfounded reports, think it a duty they owe to their fellow citizens, and the public generally, to state, as fully as they have been able to ascertain, from Practicing Physicians and their own personal knowledge and enquiries, the situation of the town, with regard to the health of its inhabitants, since the 10th of August. The uncommon droight of the season endured it reasonable to suppose that diseases generally would assume a more aggravated appearance than usual, and that there would be more than an Ordinary number of sudden deaths—this has been the case in this town, though not in so great a degree, as, perhaps, in other towns—to which may be added, a considerable mortality among children. These circumstances combined, with the timidity and disposition to exaggerate inherent in some people, has tended to produce effects the most injurious to health, of which have died, to reco the town. Dr. Dick reports, that since the 20th of August, he has had 29 patients, with the prevailing epidemic, 7 are in a convalescent state, and 6 remain ill, he likewise reports 2 new cases. Dr. Hall states, that he has had, 8 patients with the bilious fever, 6 of which were marked with the prevailing fever in March—a few not to be mistaken, and that he has lost none. No new cases. Dr. Semmes has had 16 cases of violent fever since the above date, 5 of them are now ill, 2 have died, and the remainder are convalescents. One new case. Dr. Douglass reports one man, with unusual symptoms, who has died—he confesses himself unacquainted, any other way than by books, with the symptoms of the disease which it has been endeavored to toss in press upon the minds of the people is now prevalent; but that from conversation with persons who have been accustomed to be among it in the West Indies, he is induced to believe it not to be of that kind. No case of new case. Dr. Gillespie says—"I have not at present, nor have I had any case of malignancy this fall." Dr. Triplett has had no case of fever in his practice attended with symptoms of greater malignity than are usual in the remittents which always occur at this season of the year. Dr. Watson has had no other cases than common bilious fever, and none have "terminated fatally." Dr. Hamilton has been applied to by one person in the malignant fever, "of whose recovery he has no hope." No other case. Dr. Craig and Washington report forty-nine cases of bilious fever—twenty-five of which have been violent—three have died, and the remainder are convalescent, except as one, who is now ill. From a review of the united reports and sentiments of the physicians, generally, and our own Opinion, we regret, that so exaggerated accounts have been spread unnecessary. To terrisy the inhabitants to the manifest "injury of the community." The practicing physicians unite in opinion, that the disorder which has prevailed, is not contagious. We further state that our... selves, that through the blessing of Providence, a few days will prove to our ing, active citizens that they may return with safety, and our country friends not be discouraged from attending marks. Nor our scientists from pursuing great tests. ANDREW JAMESON, Chairman. S. Snowden, Secretary. The physicians are requested to send a report of the new cases and deaths, that may occur in their practice every morning at 10 o'clock, to the Committee of Health at the Court House. S. SNOWDEN, Secretary. Emigrants from Europe are pouring into the United States, in much greater proportion since the commencement of the new era. From Ireland, Scotland, where they are not so strictly observed, a great number have been lately landed at our principal sea ports. In a late Baltimore paper, we observe a hundred mechanics from Germany, brought over in one vessel. Whose times of service, for payment of the expenses at their passage, are already "for sale." From the Well Indies, also, great numbers have lately reached out shore; rather, perhaps, to escape from present evils, than to establish themselves amongst us in as usual avocations. These are the worst. This is the text as it appears in the newspaper, and, as this season of the year, ought to be rejected with the utmost caution. The President's proclamation to Congress on the 17th October next, will, it seems, nearly exclude the state of N. Jessey, from being represented at the first meeting. The legislative body will not meet there until the 20th of that month, before which time its members cannot be sent to the House of Representatives, and one only to these senators.
