Of this iodie.ri Chief, Whose Services Ith+c heed

suit of the routed Auaericaii!!, A biv pttetiettiarl
may not be unacceptable tri Our readers. Tho fit=
they cif General Norton was ati officer in his Ma-
jesty's service (we believe a nati3Oe: of North Aiiie-=
rica). When in Scotland recruiting, he married a
,MiSs A naerson and shortly after hiS return to
Canada the subject of this notice was born. From
his earliest infancy lie was bred in the habits of
the warlike tribes, by Whom he was surrounded,
On the Htirtni, and acquired their language as his
vernacular tongue, while, at the same time, hiR
mind was instructed in European -knowledge.---=
This combination of the personal activity, skill;
strength, and dekterity of the I d with the
information and acquirements of a more en-
iighteued people, soon fendered our Hero a dis--
tinguished person atnong the fOrmer, With whom
he hunted, fished, fonght,• and, in fine, lived on

terms Of perfect equality in every respect, acquit.-
ing their manners and becoming inured to their
hardy mode Of life. When arrived atm an's estate'he
married a Princess of the Six Nations, and as dig-
pities are, among this people, pouvciA. in the le-.
male line, and not, as with us, by male descent'
and representation, by this marriage he, became
dejure; a Chief of the tribe of his royal partner.
General Norton from his education and from his.
superior intelligence, is warinly_attached to, this .
country, anti, among all the Indian Nations who
have united themselves to us in this war, we
have not a more faithful auxiliary nor a more of
ficient warrior attached to the British standard.--
He is perfectly an Indian in his ability to endure
fatigue, in speed, in the various exercise of Indian
weapons, in patience, in sagacity,. and all the ac- .
complishments of wild and savage life, while to
these he adds a complete knowledge of European
-affairs and customs. -He speaks English and
French fluently, and was in this country about
three years, ago upon some territuriarclaim which
his Tribe set up, but which our Governmeth dill
nut consider to be well founded.. Ile appeared at
several public places in his Indian dress, and our
readers may recollect that he attracted consider-
able .attention at that period.. He has several
near relations residing in the vicinity of London,
but though he visited them when here, all his
wishes appear, to be centred in the woods of Ame-
rica. Of his 'lndian followers be spoke in terms
of the highest eulogy, and they-seeni deserving of
his warmest praise for the privations they can un-
dergo; and the exertions they can make in war ;
whole days without food, and a march of fifty
miles through a diffieult country, are only com-
mon occurrences to this hardy raee, .and their vi-
gour and dispatch can, perhaps, only be equalled
by their perseverance in whatever pursuit, engages
them,, their secrecy, fidelity and courage. •
Ibis. speech, under the name ofTeyoninholtera•
wen, the Mohawk Chief,, to the Bath and West
of England Agricultural .Society, on his being
elected. an lionarary Member of that Society, on
the 12th Dec. 1804, was as follows:

" As it•lias pleased the Great Spirit that I. should he pre-
sent at this your highly laudable-Meeting for the promotion
of• Agricultural, Impruvement, 1 tale& the liberty of ad.
dresiiins yam. in din: to the custom of my
country.
" To the Great Spirit 1 preseOt•ley warmest thanks, that
he has influenced your minds-with the benevolent desire Of
increasing the vesources of your country; by an attention to
the improvement of that nit which id the foundation and sup-
port of all ethers, and that notwithitanditig the 'bustle of
war, .which calls for the exertion of the uation, the more
useful arts of peace are not thereby neglected;' but as I now
have the pleasure to sec it discittied with uninterrupted trim-
(wilily under his heavenly protection, I earnestly hope. he
will favour .your benevolent intentions with due success,
in promoting' the felicity and comfort of the land; also that
his power, lind the intrepidityof your 'Warriors, may ever
bid defiance to your enemies, and proteet tins sea-girt isle
from the devastation of war; that every thing good drug
may flourish. and improve without interruption, and after •
benetitiug you internally.to_ the utmost, that souse rays of
knowledge, the fruit of your persevering researches, may ii
lumitie our weAteru woods, and there also increase the cons-
forts and happiness of life. .
• " I shall ever retain a grateful remenabrance of the honour
this very respectable Society has just conferred upon me, and
isinre yoll,thatthe sentiments of my heart would Rad me
to follow your example, as far us ability will admit iu our un-
cultivated part of the globe. But at the day dawns in the
East, and gradually spreads its enlightened iodtiersee to the
West, so apparently is the progress of human improvement.
The western hemisphere is indebted to this for almost all do-
mestic animals, and a variety of •grains.. Formerly no other
cultivation was known among us but that of maize and beans;
-,--tio,occupation was thought so worthy the attention of a
man, by which- to supply his wants, as that of the chase. In

tie Were first teen ;' therefore 'Whatever we perform in
ture, being but an imperfect imitation of what originated'
from this roaster, no communication from us could ha in any
wise instructive to you, but if there should be any thing in the
manner in which we blend our ancient tousle with European.
eultsire, that might be gratifying to the curious in research,
i 4 would :je with pleasure communicated to yotC.'

rneTnlgifiirtativieEsurei—The wheat harvest has, corn-
ghbourhood of Bury, and the
crops are extremely weighty. The ear is full and
well set, and is more free from taint, blight, or
Mildew, than in man's remembranee.--Barley
harvest commenced last week to the westward of
Kersock Ferry , in Inverness-shire ; and, from the
golden appearance of the fields, the harvest is ex-
pected to become general in a short time.—Satur-
day last, a sample of new oats was produced at
Canterbury 7Nlarket, which brought 52g. per
qnarter.—ldonday, a field of beans, belonging to
Lig. of. St. Stephen's, ne;ir Canter
