Intrusted iff this pin of the

sworn to my country, and imposed it
as a sacred duty on myfelf, never to

energy and franknefs which eves cha

through the Secretary of State, have I
complained of tte principles yon toe )
adopted and remunerated agaipft deci

To you alone have I declared that

without reserve that this con^t did

of the people of America, w^ their
desire to observe with fidelity theihpub
lic engagements, or with their^&ion

on which their very exigence and pros

permit me withouta crime tod&w this
inference.W

have defeended to personal ahile —In

esteem which the public fre'zhp^ow

THE President of the United States
has received the letter which you ad

The President does not conceive it to
be within^the line of propriety or duty

GEORGIA.
"SAVANNAH, July. 11. 4
HE Indians recommenced
l hostilities, in the foutherh'
c^ntries, by an attempt to steal
toe horses belonging to Capt.
Williams's troops, Rationed at
St. Savilla, in the night of the
30th ultimo. They were how
ever, prevented, in their design,
by the vigilance of the guard,
who gained the fire on them.—
In about ten minutes after they
were again difeovered, and again
driven off, with a considerable
noise, as if they were bearing off
some killed or wounded person.
At day light Capt. Williams,
, pursued, and found much blood
on the trail where the Indians
had crossed a fence. So impos
sible is it for the Creek nation
to be at'reft, that, whilst peace,
peace, is dinged in our ears by
the milers and quakers ofPhila
delphia, our properties as well
as the lives of our fellow citi
zens, stand in jeopardy ever,
hour. < -
Two reports are in circula- 3
tion refpe&ng the killing four
Indians on §t. Mary's. One is,
that they came down with a
peace talk from the Nation, and
lent ina'white man the^ had §
with them, to report their ar
rival, when a scout went out
from Colerine & killed themall ;
& among them Alece Cornel,
a half breed, who was atNew
york. This report ^rflay^'
that Cornel held letters and thL:
talk for Mr. Seagrove in his
hand.. The other report fays,
that the white man, after com
ing intothe fort at Cdterine, fuf
peekd,and beingclofcl, &ami
ned,was confined and a fergeaht
and seven men sent out for dis
covery, who came up with four
Indians, who attempted to fire^
on the party, but were charged
and killed.fo
Which of those reports are
founded, time must difcover;'
but the result, be it as it may, r
.will prove how inadequate the
arrangement of the Secretary
atwar is to the protection ofa
frontier so extensive as that of
.Georgia. Many of our citizens
