The conclufum was immediately delivered

Extract of a Letter, dated at St. Vinciennes,
Sept. 11.
" I have now to communicate the pleasing
refalt of our councils with the Indians.
Every object for which it was holden, so far
as it relates to us, is completely obtained.
They lilfened with attention, and apparent
pleasure, to the plans proposed for their ad
vancement in civilization. They all pro
mised their firmed support in carrying the
measures of the president into efta. To
governor Harrison's perseverance and unre
mitted, attention its fucccfsful issue is justly
to be aferibed.
" The Indians have relinquished to the
United States a beautiful fertile country,
twenty-four leagues fquare—lt extends
north and South from Point Coupee to the
mouth of White river, and from a line
drawn parrallel to the source of the Wabash
twelve miles to the weft of this town across
towards the Ohio—lt is expected it will ex
tend, to, or hear the Illinois grant. They
have also granted the priviledge of working
the great salt spring, on the saline river,,
near the Ohio, with four miles- square of
laud including the spring, which will afford
a plentiful supply of fuel for the salt works
that will there be erected —It is unquettion
ably the belt salt spring that is polfeffed by
the weftern country. 3 Arrangements will
thortfy be made by government for the dif
pufal ot this tract of country ; and we may !
justly felicitate ourselves with the pleasing
hope, that at no distant period, our wilder
nclles 4at are now travt rfed only b) savages
and wild bealts, will give way to whealthy
populous fettlcmenfs." [N. r. papeh.
Chief Justice Marjhall is said to be the
hhtorian of the late venerated General
Washington. The t a sk is a noble
one; if nobly executed ; bitt if IGNOBLY
or unworthy of the fubjed, the country,
and the ' cause <,hich gave greatness
and didin&ion to America ; the cause which
by its success placed him among the heroes
who have ranked firft in the hiftory of na
tions-=who, if it had not succeeded, had
been piedoomed to the fcaffold. If worthy
of that cause, then will it be a monument of
glory to the nation and of reputation to the
author—if not suitable to the fobjea —we
need not anticipate—but we are willing to
hope from the heir a due regard tothe repu
tation of him who reposed the trust.

A Vermon^Federalift was ranting and

The labours of the " Farmer" have not
been without great success. The torrent of

USEFUL DISCOVERY.
Mr. Fqrfytb, a lawyer, in Scotland, fat
lately difcovcred,a cheap and easy process for
converting potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turn
ips, and all limilar roots into meal, which
can be transported and preserved as w^ll as
the meal of grain. The flour of carrots and
paifnips is particularly agreeable to the taste
and smell. The fame gentleman has difeov
cred a more cheap and ealy mode of falling
filh than is now pradtifed ; poffeffiug this
advantage, that the quality of the salt, I
and (kill of the workmen are of less impor
tance. °

Calioned her to tail off; in this distressed fitnation
