The six Seminole Indians recently arrived in
Washingtos were introduced, on the 16th ult., to Mr. COSl-
missinser Lea by Luther Blake, E-q., who was deputed by
the Muesli to proceed to Florida and endeavour, as • last
amt, to briar shout • compliance with the treaty of
Payee's Laadlog of 1e32, on the part of those Seminoles
pmsistentiv remaining in that state. With s view to this
.hie ;ad, Of rather upending neeessity, Billy Bowline
sad live other Seminoles were tattled on, that they might
learn at the seat of governm:nt the ultimatum on the sub-
Pet.
There sere present at the interview Judge Wayne, of
eke Su:-teme Court; lion. Jackson Morton, of Florida;
Bus. John H. Eaton, ands I other gentlemen, either
now or in tints past entnected with the business.
The Cosemissisner told the Indians that he was happy to
me them, wishid them to :ook upon him as their friend,
sad that they should consider all he said as dictated by
friendship and truth. He hoped they would reply in the
Moe war, and empty their minds of all they wished him
to understand.
The l'onimissioner invited Billy Bowlegs to speak, and
that without fiat or restraint ; for, though he was in a
Orange place and amongst strangers, he must still look
upon us so his friends, leaving him nothing to fear. Ile
desired that what was said should be just the same as if it
rem said at Billy's own home in Florida.
Billy bowlegs, in answer to this invitation, declined to
speak now, as he had a bad cold, and on other accounts
wished more time. In reply to a question why Sam Jones
did sot ems, Lilly said the he might have brought his
dead &oh here, but could not get him to come alive.
The Commissioner said he was very glad to see those
who were present, even without Sam loam.
Billy then remarked that he earns here to understand all
about the treaties. The men that had made those treaties
were dead, and without coming hers he was unable to Sod
cat the truth.

The Commissioner then entered into a lengthened but
clear. intelligible, and pointed address to these Indians.
In it he laid before them the nature of the treaty of la!,
binding the United States government on the one hand
and the Seminole nation on the other. The Seminoles, in
this treaty. he said, surrendered their country to the United
States, sad agreed to move welt of the Mississippi, to •
country prepared for them by the government. Bat
when the time for removal came • great many atlas Semi-
noles refused to go, thus being unwilling to carry eat the
treaty made by their head men on behalf of the whole
nation. This produced trouble ; and • devastating war,
destructive tithe lives of many whi'es and Indians, broke
set. It Tatm that most of the men who had made the
treaty were dead, bat the treaty heel( was as much alive as
ever. Ilea die, bat treaties lire. The treaties between
