"The Indians are at present tole

murdering the inhabitants wertwmd,
from the plantations, for the purpose
of planting corn in their fettlementa.
Small parties sf them have fevera!
times been within a dozen miles of
this town, but confide, it perfectly
fafe, as feon as they have eroded the
ths Altamahow, with thier plunder.
It is theCrceks w'e are chiefly |n dread
of, and if a solid peace is not conclud
ed with them, it will put roefe Bates
at least ten years behind hand, in her
cultivation, improvements and peo

Iy arriving among us, but have im,
bibed such terrible ideas of the sav
ages, that most of them soon remove
into Carolina. Indeed, independent
of the Indians, there are other cir
cumstances fufficienily difagreable to
& foreigners, particularly the heafohi;
nefs of the new landi near the riVers^
and the fworms of reptiles with which
they abound, but which are in gene
ral, more hideous to the eye than re
ally dangerous.—We had a htoty
laugh lately at a new importuHrai.;

mittee of the whole on the Report
of the Secretary of the Treasury,
_ The question being put upon
Mr°. Madison's amendment to the
second resolution, brought in by Mr.
Fitzlimons, it was negatived by a
large majority.
The question on the second refold,

negatived, and the jefoluhons carried
'ia the affirmative without amend
meats, viz.
Rtfofod, That permanent funds
Ought to be appropriated for the pay

'difcharge of the domestic debt of the
United States."
The third resolution was then read,
"Rtfohed, That the arrears of in.
tereft, including indents issued in pay
ment thereof, ought to be provided
for on the fame terms with the ptin.
cipal of the said debt."
Mr. Gerry said, thft it appeared to
'him that the indents in the several
Bate treasuries, and which through
negligence have not been paidito
the public Treafary agreeable to the
requisitions of the last Qpngrefs,
ought not to be included in the pro.
vision. < He moved an amendment to
the refoluran to that report: This
occasioned c< Afiderable debate; but
the motion was finally negatived.

viz.
