War among the Indians.- It appears that a kind of exterminating war has broken out between the Cherokees, Shawnees, Delawares, and other tribes of Northern Indians, lately removed to Texas, and the Tahuacanies, Wacos, and Comanches. Col. Bean writes from Nacogdoches under date of 29th May, to a gentleman in this place that the Cherokees, Shawnees, and Kikapoos have gone to war with the Tahuacanies and Wacos; that they had one battle, in which the latter lost thirty killed, and the former five.

It also seems that the Comanches have been driven from their former hunting grounds at the heads of the Brazos and Colorado, and forced to seek refuge in the South Western part of Texas, and on the Neuces and Rio Grande, by a tribe of Indians heretofore unknown to them.
