From the Washington Globe, Mar. 20.

From Florida.—Information has been received from General Jesup up to the 25th of February, from Fort Dade, which states that since the 20th, several principal chiefs of the Seminole tribe had been there—that he spent the greater part of the 23d and 24th, either in conference with them individually, or in council with them collectively. Halah-too-chie, the second chief of the nation, brother and heir of Micanopy, represented the nation; he declared that the Indians were tired of war, and were anxious to be upon terms of peace and friendship with their white brothers, but that they were at present so much dispersed, that he had not been able to collect all the chiefs. General Jesup informed Halah-too-chie, that he could treat only with Micanopy—that he had expected the chief on the 18th, and had been disappointed; and that he expected him still, and would not make peace until he would come in. Halah-too-chie promised that Micanopy would come in, and appointed the 4th of March as the day in which he would appear. In the mean time, the hostile Indians north of the Withlacoochee, and the road to Volusia, are to be withdrawn to the south of that line, and are not to pass the north of it, unless peace shall have taken place, or hostilities be recommenced—nor are they to go east of the St. Johns. Twelve hostages, one of them a nephew of Micanopy, have been left with General Jesup; and the chiefs started on the 25th of February on their return to Micanopy. At least five hundred warriors were represented by the chiefs present: and as Gen. Jesup has twenty-seven negro prisoners, the property of Micanopy, he entertains strong hopes that Micanopy will come in, and thus close this perplexing and harassing war.
