SAVANNAH, September 25. On Thursday the 18th instant, a party of Indians came to the plantation of Mr. Quarterman, in Liberty county, and carried off 13 negroes, 6 of that gentleman's, 6 of Mr. Stacey's, and one of Mr. Wilson's. Captain Sumner and Lieutenant Burnly immediately pursued, and the latter, in a thick branch on Taylor's swamp, overtook and charged the Indians, who fled. The Lieutenant took all the negroes, 3 of the Indian pack, and a couple of their tomahawks, but could not get no farther light of the savages.
A correspondent observes, that, whilst the fate of Georgia is reprobated for her conduct with the Creek nation, the majority of her censurers are ignorant of her situation, the territory in dispute, and the cruel ravages of the Indians. It is as probable that, in the general opinion, the Oconee lands are supposed to be in the center of the Creek possessions, as that they are immediately joining and form a necessary part of our state, and have been relinquished to us by and settled on the faith of the most solemn treaties. It has been likewise erroneously thought that every mischief committed has been in consequence of our attacks. So contrary is the fact, that the first blood drawn, from every reasonable presumption, was by the Indians; and, so far from confining (admitting the reverse) their predatory exursions to the quarter from whence they were injured, the inhabitants of the lower counties, from whom the Creeks have never received an injury, have experienced the utmost barbarity and rapine, and those not only committed during an appearance of hostility, but continued under the formalities of a truce agreed to under the authority and by the commissioners of Congress. The treaty is now said to be postponed until next spring—a postponement which must inevitably break up the finest and richest settlements of Georgia. The hands of our citizens are tied up, whilst those of the Indians are at liberty to carry on their depredations. Surely Congress will have the justice to view our deplorable situation as it ought, and at least give us the liberty to assist ourselves without offending that august body.
From the best authority we are authorised to contradict the report of some mischief having lately been done at Bird's Mills. But we hear of 3 negroes being carried off on Monday night last, from Leconte's plantation at Bultown, Liberty county.
Yesterday put in here in distress, having sprung a leak on the 28th ult. the brig Julian, Captain Crocker, from Liverpool and Newry, the last of which ports she left the 15th of July, and was bound to Charleston.
October 2. On the night of the 24th ult. about twelve o'clock, a party of Indians came to Mr. Quarterman's plantation in Liberty county.
A small guard that was at the place ran to the negro houses and fired on them; they returned the fire and went off with two negroes. The guard sent immediately to lieutenant colonel Stewart, who collected a few men and pursued. The following is a copy of his letter to colonel Maxwell, after his return.
"Dear Colonel."  Newport, Sept. 26. "Yesterday morning, after a robbery was committed at Mr. Quarterman's, I started with 12 men on the trail of the robbers; four miles above the Doctor's creek came to where the trail divided, the one making for Oswald's Bluff, the other keeping the direct road for Beard's, and being very desirous of retaining the property, but not knowing which party they were with, induced me to divide my small, tho' brave party. Accordingly Lieut. Way, of the first company, took six men and pursued the party towards Oswald's Bluff; myself, with the remaining six, proceeded on the trail to Beard's, but the Indians, which seemed to make for Oswald's, after going some distance that way in a large swamp, scattered and rejoined the other party for Beard's. By this means Lieut. Way was at a great loss, however proceeded to the Bluff. I proceeded on with great care, knowing by their trail their numbers must be much superior to mine; therefore did not come up with them till half past twelve o'clock. About two miles this side of Beard's Bluff I made a charge upon them; they immediately faced about and seeing my small number, met me with great courage; after killing two of them I ordered a retreat, two of our horses being wounded, and thinking it most prudent to retire to get Lieut. Way's party, which was to wait at an appointed place twelve miles off; but on my return, about two miles from the place of action, I fell in an ambuscade crossing a small swamp or branch, when an unfortunate young soldier (Mr. William Quarterman) received a mortal wound. After coming up with Way's party, being very late in the day, and not having any provisions, and having a dead man whom I wished to get into the settlements, I was induced to return. The number of the Indians supposed to be about twenty. If no assistance is given the back settlers more than heretofore, the settlement to the southward of me will be broke up in a few days. I am, dear colonel, with esteem, yours &c."
"D. STEWART." "Col. James Maxwell." Copy of a letter from George Whitefield, Esq. to his honor the Governor.
SIR, I had the honor to write to you by Mr. Barnard from the Cherokees, and again by the Turpin Warrior from the Little Tallahassee. I was cautiously short in both, having a wish to write nothing but what may be depended on. I have now fir, the pleasure to inform you of my return, and shall give you the best account of my tour that I am capable of. I acquainted you the reception I met from Mr. McGillivray, was flattering—it ended agreeably, and his whole deportment was manly and collected. After a few days rest upon his return from Pensacola, we repaired to the Worleters, a town in the Lower Creek, where the broken days being out, we met the collected body of that part of the nation. Mr. McGillivray, by the interpreter, explained to them the nature of my business, the talk I had brought from the commissioners, and the resolve of a committee of Congress, to whom had been referred the consideration of Indian affairs, and then addressed them in a strong and elevated speech to the following effect: He told them, having much against his inclination taken up the red hatchet in defence of their rights as men, he had always advised them to look forward to the hour of peace; that time he thought now come, as from the papers before him it appeared that Congress were fully disposed to do them justice; peace was an object desirable to all nations—it ought to be particularly so to the red people; his voice was therefore for meeting the present offer of a treaty. He was seconded by the Hollowing King to the same purpose, who delivered the enclosed talk, which was cheerfully and readily assented to by the meeting pre-
* Broken days are those appointed for their meeting; a number of sticks, equal to the number of days are sent to each town, and every day one stick is broke and cast away.
sent. I must add, he had been privately instructed by Mr. McGillivray for that end. From some mistake in the messenger who carried the broken days, the people who lived at a distance including the deputies from the Siminolies, did not arrive until the next day. Upon meeting they were very warm, and notwithstanding their desire of peace, had their doubts and fears of the present offer. They particularly objected to the short day (the 25th ult.) that had been fixed for setting out at the preceding conference; urged the affair of the hostages; reprobated the destruction of the Castitaw people; observed, that the wounds that had been given were not yet healed; and, would he, Mr. McGillivray, think to trust himself with a people in whom they could have no confidence; he replied, his desire of peace, and wish to promote their interest, would always lead him into the midst of danger; but, upon the present occasion, he had the strongest assurances of safety and protection, and his confidence in the honorable body who had made the offer would not admit him in the least to hesitate or suspect the good faith. They would not yet give up their point, but insisted on consulting Mr. Pantony, who happened to be present on his way from St. Mark's to Pensacola. He declined giving his sentiments, being a merchant, and at present only a visitor. They urged the matter, when he joined his opinion to Mr. McGillivray's with respect to his ideas of safety, and said that a treaty for peace, from the present appearance, should always meet with his good will. The scarcity of corn, and no prospect of any being hard enough before the bulk, or Green Corn Dance, the time for setting out was put off until the month of September, in which time they should again expect to hear from the agent and commissioners, for the place of meeting their wishes would lead them to a neutral spot. Our next conference was at the Tuckabatchies in the Upper Creek, a distance of about 70 miles. Here was a large body of Creek, talks from Cumberland and the Chactaws and Deputies from the Chickasaws and Cherokee nation.
The Little Turkey brought a virulent talk from the northward Indians, urging them and the Chickamagaws (outlying Cherokees) to strike hard. The meeting was then opened as before by Mr. McGillivray, but with that warmth and spirit that had so much pleased me in the lower towns. This was occasioned by the intoxication of the liquor, who had before delivered the talk with animation, but now faltered in every three words. This much disguised the principal, yet could not be mended but by his privately conferring with the headmen, as he observed to me, that, although he had a full conception of all they said, and could speak intelligibly hand to hand, he could not trust himself with delivering a public talk. He told them of what had passed in the lower towns, and of their assent, and that the talk received from Cumberland would be settled at the meeting. The Chactaws assured them of their attachment to them upon all occasions, and solicited their interference with a nation lying on the other side of the Mississippi, who were very troublesome to them. The Chickasaws deprecated their vengeance, and craved their good offices in their behalf, with another turbulent nation of Indians on the other side the Big River, who were warring upon them. You will please to observe that two or three parties of Creeks, in consequence of displeasure they had taken, had set to war against them, but were turned back by Mr. McGillivray, who sent forward the Chickasaw nation to learn their reasons for giving umbrage to his people. They replied, they could not possibly wish to give offence to a nation so numerous and strong, particularly when they considered their infirmer situation; that, should they be so mad to their own welfare, and disposed to strike, their numbers were so small the blow could not be felt by the Creeks; nay more, they were a barrier between them and the whites from these parts, which, when once broken, an inroad might soon be made on them; these reasons might convince them of their desire for peace and friendship; requested acceptance of beads, tobacco, and white wings sent herewith.
The Little Turkey, or Coweta King, a Cherokee chief, presented a letter from the secretary at war to his people, dated in December last, announcing the intention of Congress to appoint the ensuing meeting, and solicited Mr. McGillivray to give his opinion upon it. He explained it to them all, said it was a good talk, and consonant to one he had just received, and advised them to pay attention to it; that should his nation not be invited, he should nevertheless hope to see him (the Little Turkey) there, and for that purpose would send him the broken days; reprehended the frequent murders of the traders, and told him satisfaction ought to be given for the last, (one Petrekin). Then was delivered a very inflammatory talk from the Northwards, with the severest epithets against the white people, and urging the Cherokees and Creeks to strike home.
Mr. McGillivray replied the Cherokees were a broken people, scattered, and divided amongst themselves—they ought, as they did, to look up to his people, who were the only nation that could assist them, the Northwards being far off—it was advisable for all people, if possible to live at peace, but particularly for red people to be amongst themselves, that they might be collected to ward off any blow that might be made against their general interest, which was nearly or entirely the same; he therefore advised them to lie by and await the ensuing conference; which he and his nation meant to attend.

Extract of a Letter from an American Gentleman in London, who lately travelled through France, dated Aug. 27, received by the Brig Brothers, Capt. Craig.
"The politics of Europe have now got into as pretty a ferment as the British ministry could wish. The Turks have been rather successful against both the empires, until the late actions in the Black sea, in which our Paul Jones distinguished himself, and is since created a Knight of the order of St. Anne. To balance this success of the Russian marine, the Swedes have begun a war for the recovery of their former possessions in Finland. Some wise folks say that the court of London have set the Swedes in motion, and have negotiated the subsidy supplied them by Turkey of three millions of thalers; others say this business is done by France, others that France, England and Prussia have entered into a compact for mediating a peace. The emperor has made a miserable campaign of it; he has shown a great deficiency in military abilities, and is said to be heartily sick of the war. There is no doubt in my mind but that a general peace will be negotiated this winter, as too many powers will be involved, to be willing to decide any thing by the sword."
"The English papers tell you ten thousand lies respecting the internal commotions in France. No person has been killed in the riots that have happened in the provinces. The marquis de la Fayette is not banished; but only deprived of his military command for the present. Col. Armand, who served in the American army, is in the battle, with the rest of the deputies from Bretagne. But the kingdom is certainly verging fast towards a constitution. The king has declared that no new tax can be laid without a States General, which is to be called next May. They will at first perhaps only have a negative on laws, but will soon obtain the power of original legislation."
"The king indeed has done two imprudent things—dissolved the parliaments, and established the Cour Pleniére . But the parliament demanded the exercise of more than their customary powers; and the king insisted on governing according to the usages of his Father. The patriots have seen too much the example of liberty in America, to submit to this: They reason strongly on political freedom; and they will obtain it in a degree. The different provinces, originally discordant in their constitutions and habits, are united in this question to a degree beyond what I could have imagined."
"The Americans have surprised the World more in adopting the New Government than in any of their former achievements. The true Britons are severely mortified; the mercantile interest are well enough pleased; and the patriots in France as well as Holland sincerely rejoice with us. The American character is much higher now than it was two years ago." * A Swedish thaler is equal to 5 sterling.
Papers received by the brig Brothers, Capt. Craig, in 7 weeks from London, afford the following extracts:—
VIENNA, August 16. General Fabri has found it expedient to retreat towards Strojetzin, where he waits for a reinforcement of Russian troops, which, it is expected, will consist of four divisions of cavalry, and three divisions of infantry, besides 400 volunteers. Of this corps the Count de Spleeny is to have the command in chief. Fifteen thousand Russians have crossed the river Pruth, and posted themselves in the neighbourhood of Ilw. It is supposed they will join the Count de Spleeny, in order to act with him against the numerous corps of Turks and Tartars on the side of Jassy.
By an effete arrived from the camp in the neighbourhood of Dublca, we have received the agreeable intelligence that General Brentano, at the head of two battalions, has made himself master of three Turkish redoubts in that district, and dispersed the enemy with great loss. He sustained himself but little damage, and was left complete master of the field. This affair happened the 9th instant.
BRANDENBURGH, August 14. The Count de Hertzberg has had a long private conference with the Danish Charge d'Affairs at Potsdam, on the breaking up of which, a courier was immediately dispatched to Petersburg, with proposals, it is said, for terminating in an amicable manner, the present differences between the Courts of Russia and Sweden. At the same time messengers were sent off with fresh orders for the several commanders in chief at Stettin, Koningsberg, and Guelph. A large train of artillery was likewise ordered to be forwarded as a reinforcement for the fortress of Glandenz.
HAMBURGH, August 9. The troops granted by the Duke of Mecklenburg to Holland, are arrived in the environs of this city, from whence they are immediately to set sail for the place of their destination, on board Dutch vessels sent hither for that purpose.
ELSINEUR, August 12. The Russian squadron commanded by Vice Admiral Dessein, which had so long been detained in this port by contrary winds, set sail at day break this morning for the gulph of Categat. This armament consists of three ships mounting 100 guns each, one frigate of 32 guns, and two armed transports.
By vessels just arrived from Wyburgh and Peterburgh, we learn, that the Russian fleet, consisting of 26 vessels of different sizes, was, when they left it, at anchor between Zeishau and the Iles of Berker. They add, that off Helsinfors they fell in with several Swedish cruisers.
The Russians have been long accustomed to obtain provisions at Hveen, and in Scania, for which they always paid ready money. On landing for that purpose, in the night between the 9th and 10th inst. in the vicinity of a village called Raa, wholly inhabited by fishermen, they were suddenly fired upon by a straggling party of Swedish grenadiers. On this the Russians took to their boats, but soon after returned with several shallops, each manned with 100 men, and strongly protected by frigates. On a signal being given by the discharge of a gun from the Admiral's ship, they set fire to, and presently reduced to ashes, almost the whole village. The wretched inhabitants have since applied to Elsinburgh for assistance and protection, but in vain, the garrison of that town being in a weak state, and unable to defend itself, though in danger of experiencing a similar fate. Every day a number of families are arriving here from Elsinburgh, in order to avoid the threatened fury of the Russian arms.
STOCKHOLM, August 8.
The trophies taken from the Russians in the fight of the 17th July, and their two frigates, Jaroslav and Hector, are safe arrived here. To-morrow they are to be shown in public before the Royal Castle, after which they are to be carried to the Arsenal, to be guarded, with others already there. The king sent a letter with them to the senate, wherein he congratulates them on the victory, which he attributes first to God, and next to the general valor of the troops and seamen. He mentions his brother and the other officers in the highest terms, but hopes the senate will not think he does this, "as one brother extolling another brother." He concludes by informing them,
"that in order to excite his faithful subjects to adore God, he incloses a form of thanksgiving for the victory, which he desires may be immediately printed, and sent to all the congregations for the ministers to read in their churches, with a proper exhortation, and afterwards to sing the accustomed psalm of thanks."
LONDON, September 2. Among the informations of economy in France, his Majesty has published two regulations for the navy, one of which precludes every officer from receiving a pension under 20 years service, which is only to be a quarter of the full appointment. It is to be augmented one fortieth part every year after that time, but never to exceed the original.
The king of France has named the Marquis de N° 1, the Vicomte de Sonillac, the Vicomte de Beaumont, commanders of the royal and military order of St. Lewis. A fourth is kept vacant.
The French camps begin their exercises the fifth instant. Several new evolutions in the art of war are to be introduced.
The camp at St. Omers is under the orders of the Prince de Conde. The Comte de Artois serves as a volunteer in this camp. It consists of 40 battalions of infantry, of 400 men each, eight regiments of cavalry and dragons, of 375, and two regiments of Chasseurs, of 500 men each—in all 20,000 men.
The camp at Mezieres is to be commanded by Marshall Brillon. Monsieur, the king's brother, is a volunteer under him. It consists of 24 battalions of infantry, 200 artillery men, and 28 regiments of cavalry and dragons making altogether 37,000 men.
By letters from Elsinburgh, dated the 19th August, we learn, that the Russian squadron returned to the Kohl the 17th, sometimes under sail, and at others at anchor off Gillelye, and have made three more prizes of little value.
From Warlaw, Aug. 9, we learn, that the Russian minister, Count Stackelberg, has just received accounts that 2000 Russians attacked 600 Swedish grenadiers near Wilmanstrand, and drove them from their post, after killing 120 and taking 50 prisoners. By the next post we expect a confirmation of the above.
Engagement by land between the Swedes and Russians. The foreign information of this paper is always confirmed by succeeding events, and it is now well authenticated, that a very bloody engagement has happened between the Swedes and Russians on the borders of Finland. Every thing that could animate the troops on both sides assisted. Both the king of Sweden and the Grand Duke of Russia headed their respective forces.
In the onset the Russians had considerably the advantage, and attacked the left wing of the Swedish forces with great bravery and effect—taking from them the whole of their artillery, with 500 prisoners. The king at the head of a few regiments instantly flew to their relief, and the soldiers animated by the presence and example of their sovereign, rallied and charged afresh with the greatest fury and conduct, and put to flight the whole of the Russian army. The Count Munchkin Paulkin and 4000 prisoners, with the whole artillery fell into the hands of the Swedes. The Grand Duke retreated with the scattered remains of his army into the fortress of Wyburgh, which was immediately invested by the king of Sweden.
The capture of Wyburgh is of the last importance to Russia, for should it fall, Peterburgh must be open to every danger and attack, and in all probability will surrender. The plunder of this place would pay the expenses of the whole war.
The above news is confirmed to us through various channels, and leaves but little room to doubt. It comes from three different quarters.
The report of a second engagement by sea, between these powers as it now comes to us, leaves little room to doubt its veracity. Letters from Pillau and Koningsberg speak of it as certain. The loss of the Russians is two ships of the line, which, it is said, are arrived at Stockholm. The fight took place between Helginsfors and Revel.
The town of Frederiksham in Russian Finland is invested by sea and land, and has been cannonaded with great success. The Swedish armed galleys do great execution.
Change in the French Ministry.
Yesterday morning at one o'clock, an extraordinary courier arrived at Monsr. de Calonne's Hotel from Paris. The dispatches were immediately forwarded to him at Winbledon.
The news he brings with him is of the most important nature to all Europe; being no less than a change in the Ministry, as well as the System of Politics which have so unsuccessfully reigned in France.
On Sunday last at 12 o'clock, the Archbishop of Sens, prime minister of France, was dismissed from his employments; or in other words, turned out by the unanimous voice of the whole nation. The King attempted every thing to keep him in power. On public occasions, and particularly of late, his Majesty has shown him the most marked civilities, and his interest was such, as to have been promised the first vacant Cardinal's hat.
The immediate cause of the prime Minister's dismissal, was the disorder and confusion which his edicts of the 16th and 18th ult. has occasioned, and which made it absolutely necessary. His dismissal was particularly sudden, nor was it expected till three days preceding, by the best informed people. It was followed by the whole party who have so strongly advised the King to contend with his parliaments. The foremost of these are the Compte de Brienne, minister of the war department, and M. de Lamoignon, keeper of the seals.
On Monday evening M. Necker was nominated Minister and Director General of the Finances . At first he seemed dismayed from the situation of affairs, but the Emperor's Ambassador shortly after brought a message from the Queen, desiring his acceptance of a situation at the head of affairs.
M. Necker's appointment was received in Paris with an universal joy, and the hopes of seeing the troubles shortly at an end, made the rejoicings more than ordinary. M. de Breteuil, who lately resigned, comes of course, into administration, which will be entirely composed of the Queen's party.

COAL TAR. A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company. THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 20, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf. That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement.
