Extrafl of a litter from a g:ntlim:r. in Bop an to his friend in this town. " The rapid and continued rife of real eftare is ascribed to the great redundancy of cash, and the efficacy and (lability ot government. Rents and landed property here have advanced more than forty per cent, within the lalt fix months, and are (till rising ; as the moniedmen want em ployment for the floods of cash that have been lately pouring in upon them. How different is the present fitnation from that a few years since. Men were then facrificing their lands for cajl)— they are now as eagerly vesting their cash in lands. Thus you fee, each one will have his day,—at the southward land speculation rages dill higher, and the speculators in public paper finding that harvest past, now bend their attention with equal ardor, to speculation in landed property." The National Aflembly of Prance have mani fefted their loyalty in an exemplary manner,and like a let of able Physicians, they have given that to their King, of which all monarchs (land in need, a good Constitution !

Let quakers petition, and Ipeculative charac ters who glide only 011 the furface, fay what they will on the fobjed of an Indian warfare, the plain English of the business is, that we can never obtain a permanent peace with these bar barians till we have reduced them to the feet of Congress—The origin and justness of our eaufe •re now totally out of the qoeftion.—lt is indeed to be severely lamented, that we could not have obtained a peace by fair treaty —bat every one who knows any thing of the nature of savages, moil know that this deiirable event can never be obtained, while ttfey are riding triumphant in the arms of victory.—lt will therefore be the po licy and interest of Congreft, in our own defence to make a decisive effort the enfujng campaign. It is supposed, 6,000 men to begin an early cam paign by penetrating into the heart of tbeiT coun try from the Ohio—and half that number to pro ceed through the interior of this ftatc, either to eftabliih polls on Lake Erie, or to form a jnn&i on with the southern army so as to diftraifi the savages between two fires—would be completely competent to every purpofe —but it would per haps be better for America, even to double this force, rather than to linger along two or three year's feeble and nndecifive campaigns. KNOXVILLE, November 19. About the 10th inft. a company going through the wilderness to Catnberland, was met on the road by a party of Indians. Upon firft fight thfe men (being seven in number) rode off with the utino(t precipitation, and left the women (four in number) who were sb terrified that they were unable to proceed. The Indians came up, (hook hands with them, and told them they (honld not be hurr, made a fire for ttiefti, and caught a stud horse, that one of the company had jumped from, which they tied to a tree. They then went af ter n fmail boy who was attempting to make off, and brought him back to the women. Four of the conipar.y did not Hop till they reached the fettlement —ihe other three returned to the wo men after some time. [The above extract is taken from a Gazette, printed at Knoxville on the Holften, iu the Ter ritory of the United States, south of the Ohio ; and we have a pleasure in hearing that the wo men, who had been defertcd by their fellow tra vellers, were indebted for this remarkable proof of friendly attention, to a hunting parry of Che rokees ; the nation with whom Governor Blount made a treaty last summer.l principal d' l i. jury Afj'o sLi*i. 19c Editor.
