[The same paper, from which the above articles are extracted, contains a part of a long charge by Judge Toulmin to the Grand Jury of Washington county, Miss. Territory, grounded on a supposed intention existing among certain settlers in the eastern section of that territory to make an attack on the town of Mobile—and this charge, which reprobates the idea of such an undertaking and denounces those who shall engage in it, proves that such an undertaking has been meditated: and it is quite probable that, taking the intention for the fact, the report of the attack on the Spanish settlement, by a party of our citizens (mentioned in the National Intelligencer of the 26th) is without other foundation.
