If. Nov. I, 1835.All is confusion and tumult here— blood has already been spilt! You will recollect that at the last session of the New Hampshire Legislature, a law was passed, providing for the extension of the jurisdiction of this State over a territory lying at the ' thlt; head of Connecticut River, called Indian Stream. The inhabitants ot this territory have heretofore been, in a manner,‘without the law,* being neither subject to Canada or the lf-hited States. Last week the Sheriff' of this county attempted to exercise his authority under the provisions of this law, by serving a civil process upon one of the inhabitants—hut being resisted, he was obliged to call an armed force of citizens to his assistance, whereupon they made a show of submission, and the sheritf dismissed his men; hut no sooner had they retired than the people handed together, and seizing the sherill forcihly,ejected him from their territory. As a last resort, lie was then obliged to call on the militia to assist him in exercising his rightful authority; the consequence of which was,a conflict ensued, in which three of the outlaws were killed and five wounded—several of the militia were wounded, some mortally.

They declare they will maintain their sovereignty.W hat the result will be Heaven only knows.idt.n-u*erutlie;r-it-edorlieernshe(HIatIthbrrmMSId,icdIIS,lieoii-vasIlls: ofr ofvas
