By an adc'reis from Governor Telfair to the Alb
lembly of Georgia, it appears that the Treaty with
the Creek Nation, made by the United States, is to
be the fubject of animadverhon in the Legidatureof
that State.—It is rather curious that the fame Trea^
ty does not meet the approbation of W. A.
Bowles, who is fomenting mifchi^f among the fouth
ern Indians.
It is moft probable that the Tteaty, from thia

MESSAGE from the GOVERNOR.
To the Senate and Houfe of Reprefentatives of the
' Commonwealth ofPennlyivania; '
GENTLEMEN,
T' HE receipt of a fecond memorial from theid- .
habitants of the Weftern Countries, renders it ne
ceifary again to call your attention to their defence
and protection, at the prefent critical period. Hovr
lur you iitah think it proper to adopt the mode of
defence fuggefted in this memorial, or to leave that
object to the coniideration of the federal govern
ment, I will not prefume to conjecture : But you
will permit me to oblerve, that a further fupply of
arms and ammunition for the militia, Icems to be
indtfpenfabie, as a part of them muft be called into
fervice, before it is probable the force of the Union
can afford effectual relief. The anxiety of our fel
low-citizens, who rdide oh the frontiers, is natu- '
rai; and, I atn conHdent,that in makin g the neceffary
appropriation, you w ill act upon the principles of
a warm and generous iympathy.
