Important Intelligence.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9 -On Tuefday
last arrived at New,ork, the Ship Ann & Su
snn, Captain Duplex, in fifty three Days
from Cori. By him we learn that all is Bustle
and Cdnfufion in England —That the Day be
fore he failed, Information was received at
Cork, that'47 Vessels had been ordered by the
British Ministry into Service against France.—
[The Reason alledged is, the Attack of the
French on some Place which the English were
obliged to guarantee] —That the Squirrel,
a King's Cutter, on the Irilh Station,was seen
coming into Cffk Harbour, for the Purpose, ft
Upon the Whole of the Business, the In
dians expressed an ardent Desire of living in
close Frind/hip with this Country.
After fettling all Matters, the Agent gave
them a plentiful Supply of Provisions and
Clothing, allo distributing among them a
Quantity of farming Utensils and mechanick
Tools, which, together with §ooo Bushels of
Corn, had been lent by the President of the
United States, from Philadelphia, for relieving
the Wants of those People. The Crops of
Corn in the Nation having fallen very short
the last Season, a great many of them will
draw Supplies from the publick S ores on St.
Many's during this Winter and the ensuing
Spring. ?
The Inhabitants of Georgia may rest assured,
that the Creek Indians are well disposed
towards them,and will not disturb or injure
them or their Property. It is therefore to be
hoped, that when any Indians appear on our
Frontier, hunting, or on their Business, that
our Settlers will treat them with Civility.
The Reports which have been published of
a large Body of Creeks having joined the Che
rokees, and other hostile Tribes, are not just.
Not more than 150 of the Creeks have shewn
any Disposition to join them, and those were
a disorderly set of young People on the Fron
tier of the upper Towns, who have been
wrought upon by some bad designing white
People,but all that Business will be put an End
to very soon, the Chiefs of the Nation having
obliged themselves so to do.
SAVANNAH, ) lI7E are authorifed to
January io. J YV inform the Publick,
% that James Seagrove, Esq. Agent of In
dian Affairs for the southern Department of
the United Staff, held a Conferrence, in No
vember last, at Colerain, on the River St,Ma
„, with a large Body of Creek Indians, at
which were prefect, Kings and Chiefs from
twenty one of 'the principal Towns in the up
per and lower Creeks.
The Indians remained with the Agent three
Weeks, during which Time every Thing was
conducted with great Decorum. Many Mat
ters of Importance, to this Country, were then
Arranged, and all Business between the United
States and the Creeks put in an agreeable
Train, r
It was agreed, atthis Meeting, that all Pris
oners in the Creek Land, belonging to the U
,ed Spates, ihall be immediately brought to
the Agent Indian Commissioners being ap
pointed for the Purpose. The boundary
Line, from St. Mary's to the Alatamaha, is now
running by Mr. Ellicot, the Surveyor of
the United States, agreeable to treaty. The
Line on the northwest Frontier of this State
will be completed next spring- A stop to be
putty stealing ofHorfes, or other Property,
by the.lndians, from the Frontiers. The
Chiefs who were present did,in behalf of them
selves, and the Whole of the Creek Nation,
give the most unequivocal Assurance, that
they would continue in Peace and Frindfhip
with the United States ; that they would not
join any Nation or Tribe of Indians, who are,
or may be at War with the United States ; that,
should any of their young disorderly Men, be
so Imprudent as to join any Tribes at War,,
the Nation would disown them, and they
must share the Fate of the hostile Tribe.
