The gentleman who furnished the editor with
the following Speeches, wu at Detroit when
the council was held, and states that he saw a
large number of the Chiefs after the council was
finished, und lie heard tliem express (interpre
ters heing present) the same sentiments which
• re contained in tiie Speeches —That the coun
cil consisted of twelve or thirteen distinct na
tions amounting to neat- two thousand, and that
they were ail united excepting a part of the Mo
'hawks and Cayuga nations, who reside in Up
pi r Canada—that in addition to these speeches,
.they addressed a speech to the Picsident of the
Vm’.ed States, and forwarded to him the speech
es to tlie Prophet and Shawanese, residing on
the Wabash, and the nations they represented.
Jo that speech they renewed tlwir friendship to
the United States and gave the strongest possi
hk assurances of their determination to live in
|>eac:e and friendship. They likewise expressed
their disapprobation of the conduct of the Pro
phet, and their determination to prevent him, in
future, interfering with the concerns of the o
ther nations—that at the time of meeting of this
council, it was uncertain, what were their ob
JVcls—that Governor Hull, to whom they appear
strongly attached, by their invitation and request,
attended the whole lime they were assembled in
council, with interpreters, who explained to him
all their proceedings. The council house at
Brownslon was eighteen miles from the British
garrison at Amher.sthurg, that the Governor did
rot suffer any communication with the British a
genls, and supplied the Indians with whatever
they In,d occasion lor, at the expense of the U
S-— That the chiefs of Upper Cunttda, after the
council was finished, held a council on the Bri
fish shore, opposite to Detroit, and invited a
number ol chiefs who hod attended the council
at Brownslown *obe present : snipe Attended.—
The chiefs of Upper Canada stated, that they
ell ought to be united to their British father,
that he was kind to them, and furnished them
with valuable presents, that it was for the inter
est <d all the nations to hold him fast by the hand.
The other chiefs replied that they lived on the
American territory ; that their father, the Pie
Sident, was Just and kind to them, anil they were
determined to rein ,in united aiul live in peace
and friendship with their American brethren
It is a most fortunate circumstance, that this
general council hua been held in th? American
-territory, and under the auspices ol our govern
Jtient. It will probably be tlie greatest check
which could have been t > the hostile intentions
ot the Prophet, and produce a Union of all the
northern nations, in favor of the American go
vernment and people.

Tied Jacket, Chiefot the six nations, spoke
•toe principal part ol a d;*y—he was listened to
■with the most profound attention, hy at least
six hundred of his own and the other nations._
Uis speech being interpreted through several
different languages, many of the beauties of it
iliiisl have becu lost—I can only give the sub
stance of it. He observed, that for a number of
years they had attempted to meet, for the pur
pi'te of consulting and determining on measures
for the general interest of the nations, congratu
lated them that it was at length effected, made
n pat ocular address to each nation sepaiattdy,
and offered an earnest prayer to the Great Being,
that they might be united in their councils, and
adopt such measures as would promote the in
terests of all the nations. He then produced a
number of old belts of Wampum, which hud
been exchanged at former councils, and the fi
gurative language of the different belts. He
then cons.dered the state of the Indians in the
sav age suite—gave the history of the French peo
pie coming among them, and the consequences
of it—explained their connection with the British
government and proceeded to consider their pre
sent situation, as connected with the American
people, and the causes which produced it. He
observed many old Chiefs present, that were ac
quainted with the policy of their British Father
towards them-that they had always been
cidl.-d to engage in hj« wars-llm the
best blood of tin ir nation had been spilled in
wars in which they hud no interest—that by lis
tening to his advice they had lost the best part ot
their country—and in a very iinnresiive oianimr.
oa i»ie li.'inult- ot In* Tomahawk, marked how
they hud retired from the great waters, towards
the setting of the sun ; observed, if they proceed*
ed on, tliey would soon arrive at the end, Fall off,
and never lie heard ol more. He then observed,
it was time for them to consider their situation
— mat the council, then assembled, was more
genet ul than had been known within his memo
—that the nations inhabiting the country, as
far as Lake Superior, as far west as the Missis
sippi, as tar south as the Ohio, and as far east as
the Great Lakes extend, were represented1 —
that they were divided into different nations,
spoke different lungimgcs, and that their connec
tion hail now become very feeble—that incon
sequence ol their connection with tiie white peo
ple, their Situation had changed, and was chang
ing more and more eveiyday. He then drew
a parallel between the savage »nd civilized stale,
and considered the ad van tag- » and disadvanta
ges of each, without giving a preference to ei
thcr i lie observed that the situation of the conn,
try in w Inch they now lived, and their present
Connection with civilized people, were such, that
it was impossible for them to live in a pure sa
vage state, and enjoy its blessings—thei'- situa
tion had changed, and it became necessary for
them to improve the change to their advantage.
—~He then observed, that the greater part of them
glow lived in the American territory —that they
•were connected with their wli'tc brethren in
Jrien ship, and many of them were aided by
'•'.nod—that the policy of their American father
was kind and benevolent—that he wished to :,ee
Vieir condition improved and was disposed to as
sist them ; that in uny event of things, he ad vised
them not to t-ngHgc in wars, but to rema n at
their villages, attend to their agriculture, & i ike
care of their women and children He th •» con
sidered tlie conduct of the Slrtwanese Prophet»
ghat he had no other object hut his ow n interest,
»ud the gratification of Ins ambition—that he was
endeavoring to destroy the authority of the old
Chiefs, assume the power himself, and depend
on t\e young inconsiderate warriors to support
him—that they all ought to unite against him, &
to listen to the advice of their old chief*— hat
none of their young men ought to visit him, or he
influenced by his advice—that a* that council fire,
limy ought to make a solemn determination, to
prevent ui» interference with otiier nations, & his
fan nicious inilueiice in Inline He then observed,
liers is the representative of our great American
f'atbtr, sitting in the rnidst of us—offering to as
sist us. In Ins spercii he has informed us tl,-,t
it is not his intentiow to interfere in our councils,
nnrl has CApressed Ins approbation of the object
ofour mri-ting, and has assured us that our great
father will be pleased when Ue is inforifir-4 that
oui object* are to preserve peace and harmony
among ourselves, and to brighten Lite chain of
fro miship with /inn and his people. Our once
British Father on the others de, lehs us to he li
mit d and ready »o rally around his standard whon
lie calls on us, and assist lum in lighting his but*
ties. He concluded by observing, that they hid
already suffered too much by following his ml j
Vice; that even when he was not at war himseif, j
he hud put die death hammer into their hands _,
Many ot the nations had wry fon'hstiiy ;
it, and iKunbcrs were thtn present, who wire,
witnesses of the distress sod iniseiy ivhicti their 1

Brothers,
We have buried up the council fir* at
Browrnstown, and shall now inform you of the re
suit of our deliberations.
The good ot every individual oft) - nstions we
represented, were the objects of our meeting &
it Ins been our study to effect these objects. ,
Brother», *
Wc considered good will to each other,
and peace and friendship with our white brethren
the most desirable of all blessings ; we there
tore recommend them to you, in the strongest
language we are capable of usmg. In looking
back on nur situation, we are convinced that the
wars which have aken place among ourselves, h
witli our white brethren, have been oUrgreatest
calamities.-The great spirit commands us to
love one another—to forgive injuries—to do to o
thcrsi.s we wish others to do unto us ; if we ob
serve tkw temper, we shall always live in peace
••ml huimony. v
Brothere,
Our situation has chsnged, and it be
comes us to improve the change to our advantage.
Every day we become more connected with our
while brethren—we live with them in the same
country, and are all under the influence of the
s tme kind, pi otectmg Providence j and we ought
to feel the same love towards them. as we do to
each other The language of our great father
who stands at the head of the seventeen firea. fj

WC,T tl,e ,,|’Proverne,)ts ofour white bre
threh, and the contiorls which attend them we
ought to mutate their example ; and when we see
them offering Us them assistance, and anxious for
our welfare, we ought to feel grateful. It de
pends, indeed, on ourselves, whether we will im
prove the advantages wf.ich are presented to Z
Itis only necessary to look to the situation of
our own brethren who have attended to ugn ul
ture, to know the advantages of it. We see them
surrounded with permanent comforts, which the
fol d \V * ,°.f hu,nUnff and fis,'«ng can never af
oid. We therefore recommend to all our bre
lliren, an attention to agriculture, as being the
surest means of producing the comforts of lde
We need not tell you how often you are disap
pointed ui the chace, and the hunger and nakJd
ness you experience in consequence of it. Culti
vate the earth, and y.,u will never be disappoin

Brothers,
We have likewise considered our situa
t:on m rel it ion to all the white people with whom
W nr, r* and h'rtofore ,lave been connected.
We hnd they are wiser in precept than in ex .m
pie; they do not follow themselves the Wise
measures they wish to inculcate on us ; tliev
l!hWyd War* deslro> «ne another
We find there is no perfection in man, whatever
may be his color. The French and English na
lions, with whom we have formerly been con
nected, we understand are now at war with
connection with those nations
isn w dissolved, and we have no other interest
,han W',atlman to feel ,n
the destinies of man. In the struggles of thsse
nations, we understand our American brethren
have received injuries ; and that these injuries
may possibly produce war. Under an event of
this kind, (which possibly may take place) we
have seriously considered what line of conduct
will be most proper for us to pursue. The re
presentatives of all the nations, now in council,
on this subject are united. They have agreed
| to follow Hie advice of their Great Father of the
i whfrii*60 hlie8_to l“k* no P^t in quarrels in
i which we have no interest, nor to waste our
blood in fighting the battles of others which cat.
produce no good to ourselves, but to remain
quietly at our agriculture, hunting, &c. for the
sustenance and eomfort of our women and
cluulien.
Broihers,
This being the determination of the gene
ral council of the^ nations represent, it be
ccinc-c y of every Individual to attend to
it, and we hope and expect it will be attended
to, os we consider it to be a measure on
winch our safety, happiness and prosperity de
We call on the old chiefs to impress this ad*
vice on the minds of the young warriors, we
call on the young warriors to listen to the conn
sel of their old chiefs, and aflord pH their aid in
carrying into effect the determination of the
eouncil of their nations.

Drownstown, 26th of Sept. 1810, by the chiefs
and head men of thirteen different nations of In*
dians, in my presence.

Brothers,
The old nation from whom you descen
ded, salute you in friendship.
When we hear of difficulties among any of our
Brethren, we teel an interest in their situation
Whatever concerns your internal police, we
leave to yourselves : we only wisli yon to rnaite
such regulations as will be for your good -
Whenever your measures have an influence
on the other nations, it is their duty to speak
in the plain language of truth and sincerity ; in
th.it language we shall now address you.
Brothers,
Why have you separated from your elder
brethren ol the old nations! Why have you
foi saken their ancient customs and manners !—
Why have you discarded your good old Chiefs,
and committed the management of your atfiirs
to inexperienced young men? Why have vou
invited the young men of the old nations to your
council, and influenced them 10 mensurr* contra-*
ry In the customs of the nations to which they
belong ? VV by have yon not listened to the noun*
cd ol your great father of the seventeen fir-s ?
Why have you refused his justice and liberality,
m.d im manner which must justly have prove*
,* his i dignation ? You ought to consider,
and we all ought to consider the relation in
wj.ich we stand to our woite brethren. It ianot
necessary to look back further than the treaty ,d
Greenville—vve then buried the hatchet, and it
has remained buried to the present time. If w»
regard our own happiness, and toe happiness of
nor descendants, we never shall again t,.ke it up.
We live in the same country, and have occasion
to travel the same roads, both by land and water
•—The same great Spirit protects us, and is
pitaaed when wc are friends, and angry when
enemies. , 7
II we. have any habits injurious to us, let us
forsake t tic in ; if your example or advice have
been useful in any res|>cct, we thank you ;_
whoever improvements we see among our white
brethren lei us adopt them j above ail things,
tel us live in peace and harmony among our
selves, and m friendship with our while bre
tbren
Bt others.
Open your e-irs and listen In what we
lastly said to you. The gi eat council fi e lor tIk?
dill emit nations, has been lor a long time, and
will continue to be kindled at this place. Here
your chief* will attain!, and will be listened to.
it win he improper lor you to kindle otic at any
oilier place, except for your nation alone —— ,
When you Hook a necessary to kmlle one, for

ty which has attended our people in their useless
journies to your village. We do not wish, to
count the number who died, or dwell on the
distress ot those who survived! and returned.—
But remember you are the youngest of our
nations, and these things must not be repea

AS many persons who derive titles to thd^
Lands U-om patents issued under the Regal.
Government, have, iu numberless instances, beeia
unsuccessful in their applications at this office to
obtain the evidence of their titles, owing to the
Indexes to the record books of that period, being
not only in a very mutilucd state, but incorrect :
It may, therefore, be important to the interests of
such, to be informed, that the General Index to
those records has been carefully compared with
the books, in the doing of which, it was found,
tnat the old indexes omitted a number of patent*
—these om.ssions are now supplied, and su li
persons as have been hitherto unsuccessful, muv
now probably find wnat was the object of their
search.
The business of this office having been for a
number of years heretofore in arrear, by reason of
which, persons who had returned tneir surveys
have been del .yed in getting their grants, long af
ter the period allowed by law for issuing th. m*
it may be pleasing to those interested, also, to be
informed, that grants hare issued on all survey*
returned to this office, winch could issue accmd
ing to law, and aie now ready to be delivered to
