GENERAL JACKSON. Extract of a Letter from a respectable Gentleman at Xew Orleans ; to another in this city, dated New Orleate. i 14th July, 1815. P. S. I have opened this to inform you the Hero of New Orleans is no more : he was challenge() by Colonel Benton, but refused to fight Inn!, and Benton afterwards met him and shot him in the street. It is said lim was taken by time mob, secured iu ids hou►e, and tile set to it—show true I know not. The same paper contains an official communication by . the Amercan Commissioners sent to negociate a treaty of tieace with the tribes of Indians residing upon the Alksis sippi and its 'a aters, who at the time of the :at i cation of the late treaty With Great Britain were at war wits the United States. The following are extracts : PORTAGE DES sit tos.—None of tl►rm have as yet sent forward a sufficient deputation to treat with us ; seteral of them have not sent a single man, nor have we arty ground to expect they will do so. And we have reason to believe that their principal chiefs amid war. riors continue to cherish the moat inveterate and deadly hostility towards the American people and government, and that war-pat tit 3 from those titles have recently started fur our frotnizni. The Papers contain very long and rather interesting documents respecting the Ameriran Finances and the dis appearance of silver and gold from circulation ; one of these concludes with the following remarks : The fart is that the embargo, the nowintercourse, and the war, and the Trench and British seritiestraiinus of out property, have diminished the suns total of the national wealth by a great many millions, Ever since the ccnimencement of the restrictite system, embracing a period of niore than seven years, the balance of trade bus been sigaingt us ; that and other causes base combined, and the national trading capital has been deplorably diminished, the balance of artiste is still against us ; and yet foreign pikes ate higher than ever they were before, except dining one short period of the war. To what is this owing ? our biting- tae nine!' money t!! We red richer than we are —luxury, skw, and profusion abound in a coun try from which real money is almost banished. The longer we continue in this course the more difficult will it be to retrieve our affairsi avid it does not require a very long period to render that impossible."
