PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) July 21.
Extraa of a letter from anOfficer of the
second United States Regiment, dated
Marietta, June ?fc „
"Contrary to every expectation we
have received no disturbance from the
Indians this fpring,except in one ortwo
inttances ; and in those, oar exertions
have been such as to leave a good im
pression of our strength. They arenow
employed in a grand talk, at the Taw
wa river, for the purpdfe of regulating
their future proceedings. We are told
/ from headquarters that this extraordi
nary council consists of 4°°° members

WINDS OR, July 3.
We hear from Walpole, N. H. that
for a fortnight or three weeks past,
there have been f,ea larking in the
plains adjoining Conneaicat river,
INDIANS -said to have be:n from
Novafcotia. They a f^w days since
entered a public house in Weftmore
land, and enquired particularly of the
Landlord,where one Mr. Brown lived
—from which,and other circumstances
it is strongly conjectured that he is the
object of their -parfait. About four
teen years flnce, this Mr. Brown, it
fems had been very active in flaugb
tering thofefndiatis which were at hos.
tilities with America —thete are sup
posed to be the relations of some who
fell by his hand—Our informant fur
ther adds that not long afterwards,
they went to the hoafe of Mr.Bro^n,
and enquired for him but being
informed by his wife that he was
absent, they retired to the wood again.
It is said Mr. Brown keeps hsmfelf
constantly armed—-on apprehensions of
an attack upon his life,
On Friday lad an unfortunate acci
dent took place atCharleftowa,(N.H.)
As Col. Abel walker, of that town,
was croffiag Connecticut river in a
large boat, with a load of hay, accom
panied by a young Man, and a little
son of his about 12 years old, the lat
ter was unfortunalely thrown out of
the boat, as is supposed backwards-—
as he was seen instantly going down
the current on his back, and paddling
with his hands to keep himfelf on the
farface of the water, immediately up
on which, the young man jumped out
after him—in the mean while Col.
Walker called for the assistance of a
canoe, which lay up the river a few
rods above them. The young man in
attempting to afford assistance to the
frightned Youth, funk him considera
ble under water ; and, on finding the
canoe faft approaching, left him, in
order the more effectually to enable
the man that was in it, to grant assist
ance—but, unfortunately the canoe

A gentle man of fefpedability from
the Genefee country informs, that a
deputation from the chiefs of the
Five Nations, are on their way to the
MiamiVillage,where a treaty is fhorc
ly to be held by the holtile Indians.
This deputation is sent under the di
region of the faperintendant oflndian
affairs, and charged with a message
from the executive of the U. S. to the
said Indians demanding a ceflation of
boffilities until meafares can be taken
to bring about a general treaty of
"captain Jof ph Brandt returned
through this city, on Friday last, from
his visit to his Excellency the Presi
dent of cheU.S. atPhiladelphai. Capt.
Brandt has expressed himfelf, as much
pleased with the reception he met with
from the President, and the polite
treatment he has received during his
tour. We are informed, that his best
endeavours will be used to establish a
treaty of friendship between the U.S.
and the prefect hoftiletribes offndians
and that it is more than probable, on
his return home, he will immediately
set off for the Miami Village.

NEWBURYPORT, July i 8.
Several News-papers of the past &/
present week have prematurely mentis
oned Mr. Perkins of this town being
feat to Philadelphia, for the purpose
of Superintending the Coinage there.
Mr. Perkin's abilities in that line are
fully adequa e to fach an appointment
as tile fpecimeas he has exhibited in
chat line amply teftify.— fnftead
of the former method of performing
the liufiaefs, he has invented a new
machine, which cats the metal in fach
circular pieces as are wanted,& gives
the impreffi on at the fame time——-
its motion is accellerated by a bal
ance-wheel, and more, than one
third of the time and labor there-^
by faved.—,-He ,has also conftrad
ed anqtherMachine, of hia own inven
tion, far milling or lettering the edge
by which a boy can mill fixey each
minute.—Were it found necessary, he
could apply fleam to perform all the
most laborious part of the business.
Batwhat is of more importanc, and
will be found to be of more public u
tility than all the foregoing,is a check•
whicn he has invented, fort discover
ing Counterfeits——this is so contri
ved, as that one eighth of a minute is
fufficient to determine, without the
feasibility of a mistake whether a piece
of money is genuine, of not ; and any
town or merchant can be supplied, ai
a small expenle, with said checks, and
then rest allured that an imposition
will be absolutely impoflible.
A melancholy accident happened
last Monday on board a Vessel at Sa
lem—As Captain Ingerfol of that
place,was looking into the Hold,a
Hogshead of Molaffes,which was then
hoisting, fell on him in such a man
ner, as that it instantly fevered his
head from his body.

THE time is approaching when you
will beaffembled to giveyour fuffra
geo for four Representatives to Congress,
one of your present memb rs is appoint
ed a Senator, rhe other two Reprefenta

may be Re-Eleded, if you think proper.
If they have done well. Re Eled them,
if not leave them out—l believe they are
boneft Men, and am certain that they are
pointedly opposed to direfl Taxes, from
which you felt so much in 1786 and
'7B7— though some among you are a
vowtdly in favour of dirbl Taxes, if you
choose them and two others as well dis
posed—l believe you will have reason to
fay you have made a happy choice.

" The present period is a time of
wonders in Europe. It appears as if
ere long we (hall have an universal
Revolution in favour of Liberty, ex

the barbarous cruelty to this unhappy
race,and ingratitude to almighty God,
in your Congress, in permitting such
nefarious traffic to continue, after they
were- miraculously made free them

seems to have flirted up the savages

and defolatidn along your borders, as
an earnest of heavier judgments, nn
