LATEST FROM FLoRIpA.-Anoher battle has been
fought with the Indians-and gallant officer (Capt.
Melon has fallen sacrifice to this intermnable war.
1t is feared that the truce with Jessup but the pre-
luds to renew hostilities.


"The battle took place on the morning Of the 9th
inst. at Encampment, Monroe, at the mead Of Lake
Monroe. This post was attack ed at o'clock in the
morning, and bnsk firing kept up by both parties
until O oclock when the Indians retired. Col. Fam
ming was in command of about $50 regulars and Capt
Percy in command of 80 friendly Indians. Capt.
Mellon u. $. Army was killed. 1t J. T. McLaugh-
lin, and Ia pnvaies were wounded. The hostles were
estimated at or 400 strong When the Indians re-
tired the friendly Indians yelled at and taunted them
all they could TO make them renew the attack-but
not syllable or gun was heard from then."


This is an extract of letter to the sditor Of the
Jacksonville Courier


This ntellgenccis is confirmed by the arrival of the
steamer Cincinnati, at Savannah. The attack was
made, it is supposed by Phillip and his gang. The
battle was furously contested. The loss on the side
Of the hostles is not knswa.


The action must have taken place before the infor-
nation Of the truce could have been received by the
Indians who made the altnck.


cit is the general opinion that the above affair will
not break up the truce existing, nor have any ef-
feet on the course the Indians will pursue in relation
to closing the war by yielding themselves up for re-
moval."
