WAR DEPARTMENT, Charleston, April 29.—A gentleman of veracity, who arrived this morning in the Southern Stage, from St. Augustine, informs us that a new governor is daily expected there, who has power and authority from the government of Old Spain, to sell the Floridas to the Americans. The gentleman alluded to, derived this information from the highest authority at St. Augustine. It is rumored, says the Augusta Chronicle of the 29th ult. that the governor of Pensacola has requested general Gaines to take possession of that place, in order to secure it against the contemplated attack of the patriots. It is certain that our brave general and the Don have had an interview; and there is little doubt but a solicitation of the kind has been made, and received, as it should, a prompt but respectful negative. The paucity of Ferdinand's resources, and his inability to protect his colonies, appear to be daily manifesting themselves-while the patriots, slowly but surely advancing, are reconciling their discordant materials, increasing their numerical force, and giving a more bold and respectable tone to the character of the revolution.

No. 4-A true copy. By order, G. DEARBORNE, Adjt. Milledgeville, March 25.-Early in this month two or three murders are reported to have been committed on the borders of Camden county, by the indians. Complaints have been made to the executive of this state, from time to time, during the last six months, of injury sustained by them from the whites; these murders are more likely to be in retaliation, agreeable to savage custom of seeking redress. The Seminole indians, we are assured from high authority, have been plundered, and one or two of them murdered, by a banditti (a remnant of the self-stiled patriots) who infest a part of East Florida, adjacent to this state. The atrocities of these miscreants have probably brought on our citizens the horrors of the tomahawk and scalping knife; and a renewal of such scenes may be anticipated, until that nest of thieves shall be broken up. The depre. dation on the indians being committed in East Florida, the perpetrators when they can be identified, are not amenable to our laws; and the governor of East Florida either has not the means, or wants the disposition to punish them. A small military force at Trader's hill, would, it is believed, give security to that part of the southern frontier, and our government we hope will see the propriety of stationing there, such number of troops as will secure the peaceful citizens against violence from red of white savages. Sections of bounty lands. All persons entitled to military bounty lands for services rendered the United States during the late war, would do well to recollect the notice given from this branch of the war department, so long since as the 22d of August,1815, and which has been repeated in the public newspapers many times since that date, viz: "A land warrant will not be issued to an executor nor to an administrator. The government of the United States has not authorised any person to act as an agent for the purpose of transacting any part of the business relative to the obtaining military land warrants; which will, as usual, be issued gratis at the war department: nor does it recognize any pretended land office for such purposes, nor any other agency of that nature, in any state of the American union.

In addition to the above, it may be proper to remind applicants of the classes above referred to, that their letters and documents need not be addrest to any individual at the seat of government, by name, but simply to "THE SECRETARY OF WAR, Washington city, D.

The assessment made by congress in 1813 was very far from correct--for while a majority of the counties paid as much as 16 cents on the real valuation, one stood as high as 39, and another as low as 5 cents-but we have preferred to put estimate against estimate, as the best way of arriving at the opinions held in the periods stated. Dorchester, Charles and St. Mary's were assessed too high, and Washington, Frederick and Montgomery too low, in 1813. The rest were tolerably accurate.

COMMUNICATED FOR THE WEEKLY REGISTER. The case which drew forth the following opinion gave rise to three very important questions; first, Whether the judicial officers of Maryland could, in any way whatever, take cognizance of a criminal infraction of the laws of the United States? The opinion is confined exclusively to the consideration and determination of this question. Secondly: Whether any offence at all had been committed against the United States, of which the federal courts could take cognizance, supposing all that had been stated to be entirely true as stated? As to this question it was strongly urged, that by the treaty between the United States and Spain, of the 20th of October, 1795, article 14, it is declared, "Nor shall any citizen, subject or inhabitant of the said U. States, apply for, or take, any commission or letters of marque, for arming any ship or ships, to act as privateers against the subjects of his Catholic majesty, or the property of any of them, from any prince or state, with which the said king shall be at war.
