ty-o.ie years, v/ho. being duly f »'orn, depofeth and
fa th. that about the 10th of Sepnmber lafi, himfelf,
b inij in the employ of Mi-firs. Oliver and Cafe of
N itchitoches, was, with Jofer>h Lucas, conducing
from the Caddo nation to Natchitoches, 18 horfes,
packed with about eleven hundred deer (kins, and,
in the Bavou Pierre fertlement, they (lopped for the
m'ghi at the plantation of Mr. Pifot.
Next loroing the deponent had occafion to go to
thehoufe of Mr. de Soto, about half a league diflant,
who is a fynd:e, and at vvhofe houfe the detachment
of Spanish foldiers, or guard is llutioned. Soon after
hisarriv.il at de Soto’s iioufc, a corpora! of the guard
called him into a f nail apartment in de Soto’s houfc,
uu —r pre'tnee of fpr-aking to him. As loon as he
•"—red the room the corporal fold him he was a pri
fo'iyr, and ptac**d a centinel at the dorr; then told
hi o they wanted to take Oliver and Cafe, or either
of the n, ami that if they did not find them, he the
d-por.mt Humid pay for ir. They kept him confin
ed in rile room from ah-.ut eight in the morning till
ore in the afemoon. They th«*n removed the depo
nent on ir* own horfe, with one armed foldier before
hrn anil another behind, and ord'-red him to (how
Cliv' r •*nd Cate. He conducted them in that man
ner about ei'ht miles, where he und-tr'lood Mr. Cafe
ha i been to Mr. Dolev’s. Arriv.ug there, and not
finding hiin, the deponent was left at Mr. Doley’s
uu !er a guard, aid the corpora' went to fiune houfes
near by, in the neighbourhood, to fearch for him,
hut could nor find him; after which they fat off in
the U nv order in which they came, to return bark
!• de SotoV 0:i the way they difeovered a frefh
trai of h tries eroding the road, and leading from Mr.
Pilot’s plantation towards the pi intution of Mr. Ko
^ais, which they concluded to be the trail of Lucas
wifhihe parks, &c. The dtpo.'eot then attempted
to efcape from them, bnt was overtaken and tied
with his hands behind him, with a coarfe hair rope ;
they then put him on his horfe, one of the Spaniards
leading h** horfe by a rope, and another following
behind hol ding the other end of the hair rope with
which the deponent’s hands were tied. It was at
this ti.ne, towards eight o’clock in the evening, the
moon fhone bright ; tlu-y followed the trail leading
towards the plantation about two miles and a half, and
found a'! the horfe* grazing. The Spaniards went
immediately to gathering them up, and took pofTtf
fi in of them all; drove them into a pen belonging to
the p|:iri*a*ion, and placed a guard over them ; after
wYch they untied the deponent, drove him into the
pen .v>th the horfes. an 1 kept him under guard a
nvngH the horfes the remainder of the night. After
the horfes and the deponent were thus penned up
together, the corpora! armed himfelf with a pair of
pi lo’s, and, with, a rope under his coat, fat off for
Li a-’-. .a.i;», the 'tight of which was in fight, faying

af:-r rhe Indian came up ; the corporal took his gun
a ’ prefen>e.l at the Indian, v»ho replied, “ You nad
bed be cafy, for I a n not a child; you may thank
me that you are here now." The corporal then fpoke
to.thc Ind an, told hi n he was forrv for what he had
done ; it was in a paffion; (hook hands with him, &e.
The f.idian who was an Yattaffe, then told the de
ponent to lell the corporal that hr (the Spaniard) had
wanted to take Lucas, but if he had taken him he
fllould uot have tied him or taken him off. The fn
d an afterwards related to him, the deponent, how
the corpora! came to the fire where Lucas and him
t'V were incamped. Lucas faw him coming and rofe
uo; the corporal called to him and told hi.n he want
ed to fpeak to him ; Lucas faw him armed, and dif
c w*rpd the rope he had, and retreated a few (lops
fro n the fire; the corporal told him t» flop, or he
would fil m? hi n, he would not flop and ran olf. The
Indian at the fame moment drew his bow to (hoot the
corporal who likuwife ran and hid himfelf in tlieorn
fi-!d. f'he deponent firther faith, that while he was
l uprifoned in file horle-pen with the horfe*, the In
dia.i came into the pen to him, an/1 Haiti with him
th* remainder of rhe night. Some time in fhe night
ha propofed to the deponent to affifl him, and they
would tie the tw i Spaniard* and tike off the hdrfcs;
but if he was afraid to attempt that, he, the Indian
would kill them both if the deps.ient would confent

The deponent farther fay*, that the nett morning
the Spaniard* fat off, with him and all the horfe*, for

The I’refident of the United States, with a view
to prrferve a good underdandiug with the Chodtow
Indians, has efl.ibl idled a fadlory, or trading houfe at
fort St. Stephens, on the Tonibigbee. The goods

and I perfuade myfelf that on their pafTage by the
way of Mobile, no duties will be exacted, or interrup
tion ofT.-reJ by the authorities of Spain.
I beg leave to remind your excellency, that by a
treaty between the United States and his Catholic
majeily, they are mutually bound to redraiu the In
dians within their refpe&ive limits, front committing
hodiuties agjitiil the adjacent fett'ements of either
power. The profperity, therefore, of the factory at
fort St. Stephens, is interelling to both our nations,

may acquire in the ChoClaw councils will be ufed not
only to feenre peace and fafety to our own frontiers
but to the dominions of his Catholic majeily.

without incurring certain lofs, unlefs we are fpcedily

making together nearly one fourth per centum.”

“ n conformity with my advice Jofepii Chambers,
United States factor for the Choctaw nation,has (hip
ped a quantify of peltry for Philadelphia (via New
Orleans.) On the paffage of the peltry down the
Mobile river a duty was demanded by the Spanidi
officers at the town of Mobile, and which Mr. Cham
ber* paid, not, however, without entering a proted a
gaind the proceeding, a copy of which I ihav encloi'e
you.
Some provifions, fent hy the contractor from this
city to fort Sroddart, were alfo detained at Mobile
until a duty of 12 per cent, was paid thereon ; duties
sre affo exaCted on ali exports paffing down the Mo
bile, and paid very reluCtantly by our citizen*.
T iie Spaniards are fortifying Penfacola and the
town of Mobile ; at the former place there is to be
dationed five or fix hundred men, and at the latter a
battalion of artillery ai»d one company of dragoons
are now employed.”
Cofy of tbt protfji of Jff>b Chambers, United States
faSlor.
Whereas, by the order of the proper officers of the
government of the United State* of America, do
bale*, three hogftiead* and one barrel of peltries and
furs, the property of faid government, collected at
the governmental trading houfe eflabliCied by autho
rity for the friendly accommodation of the ChoAuw
nation of Indians, was directed to be tranfporred from
faid trading houfe, in the county of Wafhiiigten, Mif
fiffippi territory, by descending the Tombigbee or
Mobile river, and from thence to the city of Phila
delphia, in the Atlantic part of the United States ^via
Newr-Orlean*.) Fhe laid cargo of peltries and fur*
being on it* paiTige as aforefaid.at fhe mouth of faid
river, at the port of Mobile, the officer* of hi* mod
Catholic majefty the king of Spain, did at that pod
demand a duty of 12 per centum upon their efti
matod value of faid cargo, to be paid for the ufe of
his majefty, and it wa» then made known and proper
ly certified to the faid officers that the faid peltrie* and
furrs were the property of the government of the U
States, and was there on it* paflage from one part
thereof to another; notwirhftanding which the faid
offitersdid.on the 13th April, IHTJ, detain and rtop
the Taid cargo at the faid pod of Mobile, and did then
arid there rcTufe to permit it to proceed on its ptffage
until the faid duty of 12 per centum, amounting to
I M2 dollars and fit? cents, was paid.
Now the underfigned. agent to the United States,
having paid the aforrfaid dim of 132 dollars and tJS
cents,not admitting the right of hi* moll cathoitc ma
jefty » officer* to exa& or unpoie the aforefaid duty in
manner and form aforefaid, cannot differ a proceeding,
fo unaccommodating and apparently unjuft, to pal*
with tacit arrjniefcence, and in compliance with his
official obligations, he enter* this hi* remonftrance and
fujemn prmeft.
Becaufe the exaiflion of a duty upon the prop»r'y
of a government parting upon navigable waters (which
are the common highway of nature) from one part of
it* ter itorir* to another, altho’ tbi* paflage might in
terfe«ft the limitaof a different government, is a vio

Hi caufe his mod Catholic majefty ha* manifeftrd
