JOYOUS INTELLIGENCE.

Norfolk, July 9.

This morning's steamboat from Baltimore, will, in all probability, bring us the truly agreeable intelligence of the arrival of the MARQUIS LA FAYETTE at New York, an event which will cause a thrill of satisfaction in every American bosom. Captain Humphreys, of the ship Harmony, which arrived in Hampton Roads on Wednesday in 47 days from Havre, informs that he called at the residence of the Marquis in Paris a few days before he sailed, to pay his respects to him; that he had not the pleasure of seeing the Marquis, but learned from his son, that he was in excellent health, and would embark on the first day of June, for the United States, in the Ship Bayard, Capt. Robinson, one of the Packets running between Havre and New-York. We may therefore, momentarily look for the joyous tidings of his arrival in our land, which will hail him as the first of Patriots and best of men.--[Beacon.

Augusta, July 3.

We understand that the Small Pox has appeared in the Cherokee Nation, where it is spreading with serious mortality. Five Indians of the Nation, on their return from Philadelphia, found their company attacked with this alarming disease on their journey—four of them died, and one unfortunately was attacked after he got home, and was the occasion of spreading the disease in the neighborhood. Sixteen persons, we are told, have already died with it, and in almost every case it proves mortal. An express was sent to this place a day or two ago, for the purpose of procuring some of the vaccine matter, which it was hoped might be the instrument of arresting the course of the more malignant and fatal disorder.
