SAVANNAH, (&OTgto) MAY 14.
„ On Tuefday l^ft an express arrived
in this city, from the Chiefs of the
Creek Nation, with difostchn ,&,.1
Seagrove, Elq. Argent of the Indian
Affairs, the contents of which we
think cannot fail to be pleating to our
fellow citizens.
In consequence of the demands
made by the Indian Agent, a general
meeting of the Upper and Lo^er
Creeks was held in the Quakfufkees,
about the ift of April last, when it
was determined that ^ar and plunder
on every part of' the United States
should cease ; that the whole of the
prisoners then in the Creek Nation
Should be immediately collected, and
that a number of the principal Chiefs
should bring the fame and.deliver
them to the Agent at this place.
We also find, that, in consequence
of th§ decided language lately used by'
the Creeks, the Agent has received a
talk from them, to be forwarded by
express to Goy. Blouft, of the terri
tory southwest of the Ohio, offering a
firm and lifting peace with that coun
try, and every other part of the Unit
ed States, and assuring the Governor
that no further depredations will be
committed by the (tecta.
It is now reduced to a certainty that
the late injuries done in the counties of
