* The Emperor of Russia has lately'per*
formed an act of justice (d,a much injured and
honorable American- fatmlyi which reflects
the highest honor on his government. The
facts were given me by Mr. Sale, the prtnci
pal writer to Dicken’s Household JVoris ,
with whom! bad the pleasure to dine at Lon
don, and who, was an actor in the history I
am going to give you.
About eighteen months ago, a Miss Ward
from one of the Southern Slates, was mar
ried at Florence, after a short courtship,.tp a
Polish CounJi whose unpronounceable dame
ebcspee me nl this moment, • They were mar
ried before "the American Consul, I believe.
After living with Misp Ward, maritally for
three weeks, the Count took French leave one
fine morning ood carried off his wile’s jewel
ry as booty. -A- letter- left behind informed
Miss Ward of A fact of which she had been
till that moment entirely ignorant, to wit :
that any Russian subject not married accord
ing to the service recognized by the Greek
Church and the Russian Government, was
invalid and not binding, apd that the service
which had united them resembling in no wise
the one required, they were as tree as if no
service-had been performed. The consterna
tion of Miss Ward and her family at thip de-.
leclable piece of villainy may well be im
agined ; for on inquiry they found that the
Count's statement was-but too true.
Miss Ward and her mother remained a
short lime in Italy, endeavoring to obtain
some hind of redress for the base imposition
which had been practiced on them, but their
efforts were fruitless They then came to
Paris and spent£lhe winter here, where they
were generally known to the American resi
dents in the place.
At the period qf the coronation of the-Em
peror of Russia, they went to St. Petersburg.
It was here that Mr. Sula made the acquaint
ance of the family, by a letter of inlroduqtion
Irom Pans. The family were going to de
manß justice of the Emperor of Russia against
ms scoundrely subject. Mr. Sala drew up
(be peuiloni to the Russian Minister, and in
this petition Miss Ward demanded of
Russian Government, “the rehabiliation ofj
her honor bv a lawful marriage with-the i
Count. The document was handed to Mr.
Seymour, the American. Minister, and ho |
handed,!! to the Russian'Winistßr of Stale.
The moment the case was laid before tnp '
Emperor, an order was issued 10 the Russian ,
Minister at Naples (where ihe Count Was then ]
imngj 10 confer wnh,the Neapolitan Govern- j
mem, which was jusi then in great favor with (
Russia, yielded ai dnce to the request. The I
Ooum was seized bv a Neapolnan police, and j
at Russia's expense was conducted to the
Russian frontier; there he was received by J
ine Russian police add carried to" Warsaw.;
The Wards were already there awaiting his 1
arrival The Couni was marched into the 1
Church by a posse of policemen, and-was
compelled Iq stand up before the altar and, 1
marry Miss Ward in due iorm. When the
ceremony was concluded, his wife, now le
gal) v the Countess of , made him a for
mal bow, and bade him adieu lorever, And
Sala, who was present, exclaimed, “Young
America forever ’’’
The Count, who was an exile, was sent to
Siberia, his property was confiscated, the
Countess retained by taw one-lbird. -The
family immediately left again for l>aty, where
ihev are spending the winter. The lather
and brother of Miss Ward were present at
ine marnaqe at Warsaw with revolvers m
iheir pockets, determined, if there was any
flinching on the pari .of the Count, lo blow
ms brains out. For in view of the fact that
lie was destined for Siberia under any circum
stances, it was feared that he might not nl the
last moment pronounce the necessary word.

Tlie Indian War in Florida.--
A detachment of Cum. Wm. H. Kendrick’s
Company of Mounted Volunteers, under com
mand of Lieut. Mizeli, came upon a trail of
Indians on the 4th nisi., on the west side of
tstapogtt creek. The trail crossed the creek
at me same place that Gen, Harney did ; and
Kept his course for about ihrep-railes beyond
when it struck a course a liule west of
south. About eight miles trom this divergence
me Volunteers came on the Indian camp,
minus me Indians.
It is supposed ihatfhe Indians bad antici
pated an attach, ono had lost no lime in
leaving thif premises, as, in their haste, they
left enough to supply their pursuers with an
abundance of trophies, such ns baskets, cups
(cul from the cypress,) an elegant hoe, bread
trov (’mode from the hner-rool and koonle,)
bear skins, a shirt (made of buckskin,)
ana many other articles scarcely worth men
uomii.
The Indians'hnd commenced o permanent
establishment, as 'their constructions and ar
rangements ■ would snow Seventeen or
eighteen places lor pounding bner-rool were
m course 01 construction, and some palmetto
sheas wore going un ; a quan'ily of brier
root had been collected, and half a bushel of
acorns ('shells removed) were laid in a pile
near oy. in the opinion of the men who
discovered the camp, mis gang comprised
about 15 or 20 Indians, with their families,
•They had followed Gen. Harney’s Irarl, it is
supposed, for me purpose of securing his
'■leavings.’'
IheTndians were not pursued beyond the
camp. Lieut. Mizeli will probably report the
reason
The (acts given above are gleaned from a
private letter the only information received
at this place concerning the matter-rand wo
nave no doubt of the correctness of the state
ments, gs the writer had conversed with seve
ral men of Ltuut. MizelTs command, who
had returned to Kissimmee, sick with the
measles.
froira Indians seen on Manatee.—On
Monday last, about twelve miles south-east of
Manatee, Lieut. John Parker saw four [ndi
ans. He returned to the settlement and re
ported the tact, when a detachment of Cspt.
Lesley s Company immediately started in
pursuit. Ji is hoped that they may succeed
m overhauling the savages .—Tampa Benin-
