The following is the aniwer to the above fbeech,
lent h> erprefa from New.Orleans.
Brother,
J[ HAVE read the talk which yort have addrefaed
in the name of your nation to the commandant of
the fort of the Cl lick a law pIufFs* anti l make bafte
la anl’vver k, to undeceive you, for my heart is af
flu ted, at feeing you and your people iji I or row/
For upwards oThve.vear* fince the great’king fent
me to this coohtry/etne Red men have always beetl:
near my heart : I have been fncefeantly employed in
rendering them happy. UgV.aycabe, remember the
efforts 1 made tn re-uri^.te all the nations Which
dwell between the Ohio fnk t!>e Great Wather, like
the hen which assembles her chickens, and courts
them with her wings when (W perceives the birds
of pv«y , remember what 1 have tcld yoorftlf, to
the chief* of the Chotktaws, Greeks and Chrokees ;
recollect allth^t Ido to : lain.ain die whole of theft
nations in peace \ the counl< is 1 have given them
for their .mutual fafety. Your own nation, the
Chick a fawn, although the'laic to Ijften to me, have
been attentive to my voice nnd faithful to t.heif pro
niiies. — How then can it be pollible that l ihoultl
abandon them*
Brother, and you brave Chickafaws, open your'
eais, liften and believfi. When I received the rrea
ty which you (poke of to me Uglayaeabe, 1 laid to;
the great king, powerful monarch, you ’''Iio arc
juli ice ufelf, you have always cberilhed and protect
ed the Red tfcrn who are as numerous in your domi
luonsasthe (fats in the firmament, will you aban
don thole who dtyell between the Ohio and the
Great Water. No, replied the great monarch, 1
will never.abandon ihein ; I will n;ver withdraw
ihe arm that protects them. The Chickafaws,
Chocktaws and Creeks, at e free na'ionn ; the lands
w hich they inhabit are theirfc, and 1 w ill never luf.
fer them to be deprived of them again it tberr will.
The line of demarcation which is to fir para te my
fraies from thole of the Americans, neither regards
nor encroaches on the property of the Red hieu, it
j$ only the boundary between the Spaniards and the
.Americans, who can neither buy lands from the
lied men nor build forts on them, beyond the limits
that lhall be marked. In fine, we have agreed in
the treaty, that the Spaniards and Americana lhall
trade and I’upply the Red men vith whatever they
inay w »nt, whenever they plea ft, ifidifcriminately
arm without troublingthemfelvcs about the limits.
Brothers, vou havp ber€ the voice of the great
king, your protector, who fpeaks to you in this
paper, you may (new it-, publilb it every where for
it is true. *Tis I who repeat it to you. You will
know that my tongue i^s never beet) double. We
wilt re ft ore to you the lands which you have given
us—-we will take away whatever could be injurious
to your fafety. You will receive next fpring. pre
fents as formerly. Mr. Pantnn may, if he pleafes,
let up his (tore on the oppofite lule of the river, in
which cafe I will leave lome of my warriors to
protect him. lie will fell to you and purchafe
your merchandize. The Americans our friends
will deal with you liketvjle ; confequentiy you will
want nqrbing. You will be at peace with all.
You will have the option of felling your iands to
the Americans, or of refilling them ; and if ever an
attempt is mule to drive you from your lands,
which the great Mafter of the Sun has given to your
ancefrors, from the land which covers the bodies of
y our fathers, be afsured the great monarch will op
pol? it.
Ugalayacabe, and yon brave warriors that ac
compaov, return all home to your villages with
this talk which your mefsenger, Eazar, will imme
diately carry you — Shew it to tne warriors, to
your children, to your wives, st the fame time tel
ling them, our friends the Spaniards, will not leave
them, the great king will not abandon us—-we are
born free, nor children will dole our eyes in the
fame land that gave n.i birth, and in it we will reft
in peace with our father.

L ATE ST FOREIGN ADVICES.
By tht Jhip William^ Penn. arrived ot Philadelphia" from
Louaon : — three days later then before received,
PARIS, Angufr zj.
THF. Mirror ftates to have received frorh a rrioft
respectable q-iarter, tbe following particulars
relative tv> the. fubject of peace— ,
The Imperial envoy demanded of the directory a
categorical anltar, and declared, by order of his
majel’ty, that he would find (limiclf obliged to r«
commencc lioftiltties, il Mantua vai not rcftored to
the -feoiiie of Auftria. v This declaration being deli
berated Upon, Ba'rias declared, that he would have
Mar.toa, t hat be ihould never cede Mantua. The
on eft ion wa’S pot, end the majority declared, that
orders ihould he given to recommence holtilirirs ;
but Carnot delivered an impreflive tpeech, in. which
he dwelt with great emphalis on the incalculable
evils and difaftrous conltquences which could not
but refult front this determination. He declared,
thatrbefcroteftof-fmcoitea jffuc, at well as hjs own.
Ihould be inferted in the minute?,and that he would
immediately proceed to the legislative body, inform
it ol what had pafsed, and make at length Ttnown’
to the nation thole members of the directory who
wilhed for peace.
This firm and intfipid conduct intimidated fear
ras and Rewbel j the refolutioo was repealed, and
the treaty of pence was figned.
AuguH £4 We are alsured that the peace has
been ltgnecJ by the emperor. It is added in fupport
of this important intelligence, that the courier who
brought the account arrjved two days ago, and that
the directory, immediately .assembled : that three ol
the directory refuted to ratify the treaty : that the
courier was on the point of fettipg off with the or
der recommending bofnlities, when the twp other
directors dtfired their protelt to be inferred in the
regifter of the deliberations. This demand terri
fied the three others, who cauTed the departure ol
ill* courier to be fufprndcd. It is not known What
relolu cions have been fince adopted.
'VENICE, Auguft .5. .
Letters brought by the I a ft courier from Leghorn
announce, the important intelligence that a apanilh
vefsei had arrived there from Barcelona, bringing
advice that admiral Jarvis's fire Ihips had Succeeded
in burning theSpautlh fleet in Cadiz harbour, con
lifting of 36 Ihips—the Englilh fleet afterwards en
tered the porr, made them leaves matters of the city,
after a fhort bombardment, and had landed twenty
two thoufatid men. A great number ol letters from
Leghorn, received immediately alter the arrival ol
the Spanifh vefsei, confirm this intelligence fo infi
nitely prejudicial to Spain, and the conicquences ol
which is itnpoffible to calculate ! !
VIENNA, AuguftQ.
According, to the latcit and molt authentic ac
counts from Italy, the French have not yet made
any preparations to*give up Mantua to the Auftri
ans j reinforcements are, in coniequence, continu
ally marching to our army in Italy. —Palma, Ntiova
and Pefchiera have been put in a formidable ftate of
defence by the F/ench arid more artillery has been
lent by them to Vcrena, Ferrara, &c.
The report that the definitive peace between
France and Aultria is already ftgjied, is entirely
unfounded. The negotiations at Udina, between
General Clarke and Count Meerfeldt,.proceed very
flowiy ; and, on account of feveral difficulties that
had arifen, are nearly at aftand. To removethefe
application has been made to the Directory at Pa
ris.
We are afsured that all obftacles which ^erfc in
the way of peace were removed, to the fatisfacticm
of our court, and that the French directory has de
clared in the molt friendly manner, that a mifunder
franding alone has delayed the negociarion.
Augujl General Buonaparte has invited; the
Marquis de Gallo to continue ^nd conclude the ne
gociations for peace, ’in conftqnence of which he
vefterday let (ff for Udina—The Empefor has,
however thought proper to join wiihyKim Baron
Degelmann, who was envoy at Bafle, M./Van Hoppe,
fecrerary of Baron Thugut, who have both fet out
for Udina with the Marquis. W«p now entertain
hopes, lhat the definitive peace will foon be fiuned.
General Buonaparte was likewif© expected at Udina
from Milan.
Count Cobenzi, who Jatejy arrived here from
Petersburg, is to goto J.ifle, and is expected to
fet out for that ploce next Monday. This maybe
ccnfidered «« an additional proof of the intimate
connection there is between tbe negotiations carry
ing on at Lifle, and thofe in Italy. Until now it
was believed that Count Cobenzi was going to the
Congrefs for the peace of the empire, or elfe to
Udiua.
The fame courier liker/jfe brought difpatches
relative to the negotiation in Italy. Had it not
been for the moderation and prudent conduct of our
plenipotentiaries, it i6 probable that the negotiati
on would have been abruptly broken off, as Buona
parte had pofuively ipfifted on the conceflion of
certain points. The Directory has, however, now
declared that foch modifications lhall be adopted as
will remove all difficulties.

that it was in purluance of the fyftent adopted

When our paper h«p3 been fome tiipe ore's, wt
received information that the Hdn. Mr. Wefley had
arrived at the Secretary of State's office with dil
parches from Lord Malmesbury at Lifle. Mr. Wef
ley came to Dover in the King's [packet, £apt. Qf
oorne, by which conveyance we received two Paris
papers, viz. PEurope Politique et Lireroire, of the
27th and z8th of Augyft. The ^>aper of the »7rh
nas the paragraph relative to the ligning of preita
■binaries, precitely as we havegjvtn from Lhe Eclair
and other papers. That*of the 2$rb which we have
received, has the following paragraph.
“ rhe,joy occasioned by the n<° v(s of the flgnlbg of
the preliminaries ofpea.ee with England, was only
the joy of a moment. The very p<trfons who had
been fo eager to confirm tb? intelligence almoft nt
die fame inftant announced that the propotal*. made
by lord Malmesbury, and acceded to by the French
commifsioners, were no: agr«^>d to .by the Director
r y. The majority of its. members per ft'is in refil
ling the Cape of Good Hope to tbf English, and
are determined to retain the port of Oltend, fuch as
it was given up to us by the Emperor*
Wc yefterday translated literally rbe article* rela
tive to a pretended peace between France and Btl**
gland, contained in the Paris Gazette, which we
received by exprel's. . The late hofir however at
which thefe papers came to our. hanc^s prevented u*
then from making any obfervations or the probabili*
ty of the intelligence that they announced —hut wt
are lorry to be now under the necelfiiry of ftatinp,
that it is totally void of foundation. We have inf
deed, every reafon to believe, that thele accounts
have beeji fabricated at Paris for the feme purpofe
that the L’Kclair wa3 !a(t year forged in London,
namely, that of having an effect on the fujids. The
fchem,?, however, of the unprincipled ftock-jobbers
who were the authors of this falirbood ajpars to
have completely failed rhedefired imprelsion did
not take place ; for the (rocks which opened at 5$
for fome time, rofe only to jj T-i, and foon fell
back to
It appears that the fobricitors of thefe .accounts
fent the papers that contained them by exprefs to
Calais. Had they been conveyed by the regular
mail, they could not have reached that place before
ten or eleven o’clock yelt?fday morning—whereas
the different agents for ner^lpapers atPover ferHvejl
tHem there arhx o'clock, and conveyed them by er:*
prefs to London, where they arrived a little before
one in the afternoon. As foon as they were receiv
ed the fame trick was played off that was relcrredtc?
when the Eclair waf forged laft y'ear ; for they
were immediately lent to a broker at the ftock ex
change, evidently for the purpofe of leaking an im«
prelsion on the market.
In,addition to the lift which had beeri given in
the morning papers, of the French G azettes which
contained this falfe intelligence* we add* Thp Miroir
a journal which, on account of its violent oppofiti
on to a free government, is alwa)s copied by the
minifterial prints in England. We Ihall difmifa
this fubjecr, by exprefsing our ^vifhes that the nanris
of the authors of this fcandalous fraud may ere long
be made public.
From the hie hdqr at. which the French paper:!
arrived, we have no opportunity of afcertainlng
the truth of this intelligence ; we therefore tranf
laterhe article literacy leaving our readers to de-*
cide for themfelves. L Eclair, of the 29th in ft ant,
has the following article
“ The Redacteur does not confirmi the new* which
we gave yefterday, of figoing of the prelifoinarieg
of peace between France arid England. But the
news was communicated to us by iuch refpectablc.
members of the Council of Elders, that we cannot
flifl avoid believing it.*# r.
Perlet,, however,, after rhentioning tbe.nev?s,‘
fays, “ there is nothing true or probable in it, ex
cept the deffre which (peculators had'to raife tho
tnfcVjptions, by furprifinjf the credulity of iotn*5
writers to iifipofe on the publifc.”
