The Hunting Expedition. The St. Louis New Era brings the following disagreeable tidings from Sir William Stewart's party.

Six more of the American Fur Company's boats arrived at our levee yesterday afternoon, forty-five days from the Yellow Stone, loaded with buffalo robes, furs, &c. &c. Among the persons who came down with these boats were several who left this city with Sir William Drummond Stewart. They describe the fatigues attending the expedition, and the overbearing rudeness of Sir William, as insupportable. Thirteen of the company had left him at the South Forks of the Platte; and many others were preparing to leave. Some of the company had threatened to shoot him if he persisted in his tyrannical course. The Indians were manifesting a disposition to steal the horses, and as all but three or four of Sir Williams's men were green hands, some fears were entertained that their efforts might be unsuccessful. A war party of 300 Ottces, returning from an expedition against the Pawnees, who had refused to fight them, were with Stewart when our informants left. All were in good health, though worn down with fatigue.
