There is a vessel from Georgia this
day—which brings accounts, that the
treaty with the Southern Indians has
failed, and the eonimiffioners >re on
their return. Capt. Burbeck's com
pany was to embark for Newyork the
20th inst. No particular causes are
aligned for this disappointment. It
is said the Chiefs were disposed to
treat, but M'Gillivray's influence was
so great that he prevailed on them to
go off without doing any thing.—
The consequences of this fai ure may
be disagreeable.
It is said, that one of the prelimi
nary articles infilled upon, by M'Gil
livray, at the opening of the treaty,
was an intire cession of two of the lar
gest counties of Georgia, to the Creek
nation. In this extravagant demand,
it is thought, he is fapported by some
European power.
