It is to be observed, that done of these ftremehts include
the country beyond the river Sabine,' Lot even all those

them. Fortifications
St. Louis has a lieutenant colonel to command in it, and
but fe# troops, Baron Rogue is an ill-ennftra&ed fort
Ind has about 50 men. Id describing the Canal of Car
ondtet, the frall fort of St. Jean has bc<jimentioned, as
has the block-house at the Balize in its proper place. The
fortifications of New Orleans, noticed before, consist of five
ill-conßru&ed redoubts, with a covered way, palifadc and
ditch. The whole is going faft to decay, and it is suppos
ed they would be of but little fefvice in case of an attack.
Though the powder magazine is on the opposite fide of the
river, there is no fuflicrait provision made &r its removal
to the city, in case of need.-
The fort of Pl^tenines, which is about twelve or
thirteen leagues from rhe sea, is an ill-cottO u&ed, irregu
lar brick work, bn the e\ft rn tide of the* &fflfi„i, *rh a
ditch in front of the fiver arid protested on die lower fide
foya deep creek, flowing from the river to the tea. It is
however, imperfectly clbfed behind and airnoft without de
fence there, too much reliance having been pLced on the
swampiness of me ground, wlfch holders drily. It might
be taken, perhaps by ylcahde wither difficulty, ft is in
a degree ruinous. The principal front is meant to defend
the approach fob the fe^, ^bd can oppose. at most but 8
heavy gobs. It ft bulk ^ i fu*n in the rirr, Where hiips
in general must anchor, as the Wind which 'brings them up
so far is contrary in the next reach which they moflly
work through ; and they would, therefore be tkpofed to
the fire of the fort, dh the opposite bank are the rums of a
final! closed redoubt, called Fourt Bourbon,nfnally garrison.
ed by a ferjeant's command. Its lire was intended to flank
that of the Fort of Plaquemines, and prevent Whipping and
crjft frod aftending or defending mb that fide. When a
veffdappears, a figual is made on one fide, and anftfered
on the other, Should ike attempt to pal's, without fending
a boat on ffiorc, foe Would be immediately fired upon.
Indians.
The Indian nations within the limits of Louisiana, are,
as far as hnty'n, ^ follows, and consist of the numbers
hereafter fpecified.
On the Eastern bank of the Mifffypi about 25 leagues
above Orleans, the remains of the nation of Houmas cf
Red Men which do not exceed 6c perform There arc no
other Indians ferried '6n this ide of tbe river, either in Lou
isiana or Weft Florida, though they are at times frequented
by parties of wandering Cho^awL
On the weft fide of the Mfiiffi are the remains of the
Tounicas fettled near and above Pointe Coupee On the riv
er, confiding of 6f*y or sixty persons.
In the At.a@pas,
On the lower parts of the Baypn Teche, at about it or
12 Teagfa ffomthe sea, ar6two vi!iages of Chitmachas,'con
fifting of about to® fouls
The Atacapaa, properly so called, dispersed throughout
the difria, and chiefly on the Bayon or creek,cf Vermil
lion, about'!oQ fouls.
Wanderers 0/ the tribes of Bliexis and Cbodaws on Bay
ou Crocddile, which empties into the Teche, about jo fouls.
In the Opeloufas to the N. I'7. of Atacapas.
Two villages of Alibafoßs in the centre of the diftria
■ear t^e chutch, cenfifyug of 100 persons.
Conchates dispersed through the country as far Weft at
the river Sabinas and its neighborhood, about 350 persons.
On the River Rouge.
At Avoyelles, kg leagues from the Mifff ppi, is a village
of the Bfionination, apd another on the lake of the Avoy
eles, the whole about 60 fouls.
At the Rapide, 16 leagues from the Mffifppi, is a village
of Choctaws of 10'6 fouls, and another of Biloxes, about 2
leagues from it, of about 100 more—About 8 or 9 leagues
higher up the Red River, i, a village of about 50 fouls. All
these are occasionally employed by the settlers io their
neighbourhood as boatmen.
About 80 leagues above the Natchitoches on the Red
River is the nation of the Cadoquies, called by abbreviation
Cados; they can ralfe from 3 to 400 warriors, are the
friends of the whites, and are esteemed the bravest and most
generous of all the nations in this vall country—they are
rapidly decreasing, owing to intemperance and the num
bers annually destroyed by the Osages and Chodaws;
There arc, besides the foregoing, at least 4 or 500 fami
ilies of Chedaws who are dispersed on the weft fide of the
Miffifippi, on the Ouacheta, and Red Rivers, as far weft as
Natchitoches, and the whole nation would have emigrated
across the Miffifippi, had it not been for the opposition of
the Spaniards and the Indians on that fide, who had fuf
fcred by their aggreflions. _
On the River Arfanzas, Gc.,
Between the Red River and the Arkanzas there "ate but
a few Indians, the remains of tribes almost extinft, On this
lift river is the nation of the fame name, confiding of about
260 warriors—they are brave yet peaceable and well dis
posed, and have always been attached to the French, and
espoused their cause in their wars with the Chick^faws,
whom they have always refilled with success. They live
in three villages, the firft is at 1$ leagues from the Mfr
f,,i on the Arkansas River, and the Others are at j and 6
leagues from the firft. A scarcity of game on the eastern
ide of the Miffifippi has lately induced a number of Chero
kees, Cho&aws, Chickasaws, &c. to frequent the neighbor
hood of Arkanzas, where game is ftifi in abundance —they
hiye contrasted marriages with the Arkanzas, and seem
inclined to make permanent settlement and incorporate
themselves with that nation. The number is unknown,
but is confidcrable, and is every day increasing.
Co the river St Francis, in the neighbourhood of New
iMadrid, Cape Giradeau, Reviere a la Pomme, and the en
virons, are fettled by a number of vagabonds, emigrants
from the Delaware, Shawnefe, Mlamis, Chickasaws, Che
rokees, Plorias, and supposed to consist in all of 560 fami
lies, they are at times troublcfomc to the boats defending
the river, and have even plundered some of them and com
mitted a few murders. They are attached to liquor, seldom
remain long in any place, many of them speak English, all
underhand it, and there are some who even read & write it.
At St. Genevieve in the settlement among the whites are
about thirty Piorias, Kafkafcias, and Illinois, who seldom
brot fcr fear of the other Indians ; they are the remains of
a nation which fifty years ago could bring into the field one
thousand two hundred warriors.
On the Mifouri.
Co the M^ori and its waters are many and numerous
nations, the bed known of which arc : The Osages fituaced
on a river of the fame name on the right bank of the Miss
ouri, at about eighty leagues from its confluence with it,
they consist of one thousand warriors, who line in two
Settlements at no great distance from each other. They
are of gigantic flature and well proportioned, ace enemies
of the whites and of all other Indian nations, and commit
depredations from the Illinois to the Arkansas. The trade
of this nation is Said to be under an exclusive grant. They
arc a creel and ferocious race, and are hated -and feared
by all the other Indians. The confluence of the Osage river
with the Missouri is about eighty leagues from theMiffifippi.
.Sixty leagues higher up the Missouri, and on the fame
bank, is the river Kanzas, and on it the nation of the fame
name but at about Seventy or eighty leagues from its mouth.
It consists of about two hundred and fifty warriors, who are
as fierce and cruel as the Ofages,' and often molest and ill
treat those who go to trade among them..
Sixty leagues above the river Kanzas, and at about two
hundred from the month of the Miffour;, still on the right
bank, is the Riviere Platte or Shallow River, remarka
ble for its quickfandi and bad navigation, and hear its con
fluence with the Miffburi dwells the nation of Caolados,
commonly Called Otos, confiding of about two hundred
warriors, among whom are twenty-five or thirty of the
nation of Missouri, who took refuge among them about
twenty-five years since.
Forty leagues up the River-Tlatte yen come to the na
tion of the fiofc composed oftabout seven hundred warriors
in four neighbouring villages, they hunt but little, and are
!ill provided with fire-arms, they often make war on the
I Spaniards in the neighborhood of Santa Fe, from which
I thsy arc not far diflant.
At 300 leagues from the Miff, ppi, and 100 from the
River Platte on the fame bank arc situated the villages of
the Mahas. They confided in 1799 of five hundred war
riors, but are said to have been alraod cut off lad year by
the small pox.
At jo leagues above the Mahas, and on the left bank of
the Miffeuri dwell the Poncas, to the number of 250 war
riors, possessing in common with the Mahas their language,
ferocity and vices. Their trade has never been of much
value, and those engaged in it are exposed to pillage and
ill treatment.
At the didance of 450 leagues from the Mijifippi, and
on thr right bank of the Mifori, dwell the Aricaras, to the
number of 700 warriors, and; 60 league# above them, the
Mundane nation confiding of about 700 warriors likewise.
These two lad nations are well disposed to the whites, but
have been the vi&ims cf the Sioux, or Nandoweffics, who
biing themselves well provided with fire-arms, have taken
advantage of the defer.cclcfs frtuatioo of the others, and have
on all occafiors murdered them without mercy.
No tiiftovetics on the M^fouri, beyoid the Mandane na
tion have been accurately detailed, though the traders have
Ikeo informed, that many large navigable rivers difeharge
their waters into it, far above it, and that there arc many
dometts nations fettled on sherd.
The Sioux, or Mahdowemes, who frequent the country
Ibetween the north bank of the Missouri and Miffifippi,
die a great impediment to trade and navigation. They
endeavour to prevent all commuication with the nations
dwelling high up the Miffiuri, to deprive them of ammu
nition and arms, and thus keep them subservient to them
selves. In tbe winter they are chiefly on the banks of the
Missouri, and massacre all who fall into their hands.
There are a number of nations at a distance from the
banks of tbe Mifouri, to the north and fouth, concerning
' whom but little information has been received. Returning
to the MiffiJiffi, and afeendibg it from the Missouri, about
>5 leagues above the mouth of the latter, the Rivef'Mein
gona or Rivere <fe Moine enters the Miffifippi on the weft
fide, and on it Ire situated the Ayoas, a nation originally
from the Missouri, speaking the language of the Otatachas,
it consisted of 266 warriors, before the frtall-pox lately
rag e d among them.
The Sacs and Retards dwell on the Misf ppi about 300
leagues above St Louis, and frequently trade with it—they
live together, and conflft of 500 warriors—their chief trade
is with Michilmakinac, and they have always been peaceable
and friendly.
The other nations on the Mffiippi higher tip, are but
little known to us. The nations of the Missouri, though
cruel, treacherous, and insolent, may doubtless be kept in
order by the United States, if proper regulations are adapt
ed with refpea to them.
It is said that no treaties have been entered into by Spain
with the Indian nations westward of the Mtffppi, and that
its treaties with the Creeks, Cho&aws, &c. are in effect
fuperecded by our treaty with that power of the 27th Oc
tober, 1795. [To be continued.]
