After mentioning that the Spaniard^
were reinforcing tneir upper polls OB'*
the Miflilippi, that upwards of three
hundred men had arrived at St. Lou",
and were erecting formidable works ;
he adds—" it likewise appears' t ta ._
various channels, that they are inviting
agreat number of Indians of the t„ri
tory (meaning of the United States
Northwest of the Ohio) to cross the Mifr
fifippi : And for this express purpose,
Mr. Loraine, ah officer in the pay of ffie
crown, made a tour through all this
country last fall ; since which time fed
eral Indians have been ferit on the fame
errand, and generally furnifhed wish
plenty of cash to defray their expedfes.' 4 ' L
—A large party of the Delawares patted
down White River about the 6ih of

bearing the national flag of Spain which
