The troops that were garrisoning it (vol unteers.) had not left it but a few hours, before it was burnt. There were eight distinct tracks discovered around the Fort by the scout who discovered that the place was burnt ! One of the tracks was that of a negro, and very large. It is the same party that are daily murder ing our people about here, headed by Wild Cat, alias Coa-coo-he! . Correspondence of the National - Intelligencer. New York, November 14, 1810, There is a decided improvement in confidence, if in nothing else, since the Presidential Election. One of the first fruits in this city is a loan of a million of dollars by our banks to aid the Philadel phia banks in the business of resump tion. Boston loans a million and a hall. Theloauia to be paid in Philadelphia funds, anil payable in post notes in New York. This secures a general resump tion of specie payments throughout the whole it tho United States on tho 1 si day of January next It promises a fine opening of the spring trade in February, a revival in real estate and in enterprise, and a salutary and sound currency. The only danger now is the absence of a healthy check over the issues of the ft ue banks, the Sub-Treasury being but tho merest farce, as it operates, the whole fpirit and tenor of the law having been violated by the subterfuges of the Collec tors and Receivers by which I do not mean to admit the law was good for any thin-? in anvwav. inasmuch arthe exe cution of tho law in its spirit was pearly an impossibility; while a prctcndc3 ex ccution of it without any obedience to it is an immorality. For the honor of the laws, therefore, and if only for that alone, it should be rubbed forthwith from the statu1? book. New York Nov, 10, lSloi.

We found it very pleasant coming down a few days since ; and doubt not that, all ihings considered, the upward navigation will be safe. As it regards the settle ment, we may say, from a great many years residence, that it is comfortable and retired. The quarters which our parly occupied - a party proverbial for making themselves comfortable will'bo opened to the Van Buren men, and wo commend to them Jhat agreeable philo sophy which we learned and practised in those green retreats ; and, as it regards our future movements, we say that, hav ingTowcd up the Salt river 'our oppo nents, we reserve the. same canoe for ourselves whenever our country'a causo shall so need our rowing up."
