IT. LOUIS, JULY et.
SPECK OF WAR.

The National Intelligeneer gives the substance
of a letter f the Arkansas, which mention* an
outrage committed by the Cherokees upon Me
Owes. Time injury stated is the rohlwry of farce
horses and the killing of four men. IV,
heard of this affair, although some of ')se ()%414t.
Chiefs have been in town some weeks, cat thew"
infer a belief that the statement is ►ncor`vct. A
difference is, nevertheless, brewing betweea the tv..
trihes. •

The Chiefs now here have come to eawn.laint 1,
Governor Clark, of wrongs done them by die Ow.
rokeev,

About two years ago a band of Cherokee war-
riors attacked a hunting party of 0-age., kilted
many, and captured a number of woven and cV-
Oren, which they led home in bondage. Before kt„.
Osage iratoti could revenge the injury Governor
Clark interposed, offered his mediation, soul .ffect..l
a treaty of peace. This was done at St. Lii,t.,
October MEI, when • large assembl,•tge of it...
Chiefs of each tribe was present. By an article r
this treaty the women and children taptured
to be restorer', and the boundary line hetise,„ ih,
nations run and established, under the walkway of
the United Slates.

Now the complaint of the Osages ie, that 91,r
captives have not been restored, 110 r the line eO4-
hliOletl, and that the Cherokees intrude upon 16,r
hooting ground.; and the Chiefs here come to gar
notice to the United States, as the guarantee of •ile
treaty, of these infractions, before they proceed to
redress themselves.

The o,4ages, a few years ago, were * terror to s
neighbouring people: gigantic in their
and ferocious in their disposition. They j!,' ,•
remarked for their lofty stature and tine
but their ferocity of temper has yielded to lilr! I.
flitence of civilisation. They are now accounted int.
nici.t peaceable of all the Indians. Capt.-
Pike, who visited their towns, said th,it !lay had
become Quakers in their policy sod cultivators in.
their habits. Their conduct with the Cbrrokrr►
has corresponded with this character %iiil it I,
greatly to be desired that the efficient intririsition
of the Government may confirm theni Ow huh',
of appealiug to the United States for the redress a
their wrongs.—(Enywireri
