Tilt Chiefs and Warriors were then' conducted
into an'adjoining room to take refreshments`pre-
pared for them, and ended the interview by exe-
cuting with astonishing energy the Calmctdance.
MAncx 17.-7—Thursday following having been
appointed for holding the Council, the Chiefs and
Warriors assembled this day in the same apart-
ment, and were received in the same manner.—
After shaking hands with his Excellency 'as be-
fore, Newash, accompanied by his interpreter,
again presented himself in the middle of -the

room, and pronounced the foliQwing Speech, or
Talk :

SPEECH OF NEWASH.

" FATHER—Listen. You will hear from me
the truth. It is the same as what the Chiefs and
Warriors; Pow here, have to say.
• FATHER—Listen. Open your ears to your
Children, to your Red Children, that are in the
West : they are all of one mind. Although they
'are so far off, and scattered on different lands,.
they hear what I am now saying.
" FATHER—Listen. You have told us by the
Talk of your Warriors, once Father, twice Father,
'that we were to fight on the flanks and in the rear
.of your Warriors ; but we have always gone in
front, Father; and it is in this way we have lost
,so many of our young Warriors, our Women, and
Children:

FATHER—Listen. The Americans have said
they would .kill you first., Father, iand:then de-
. stroir your Red Children ; but wheu you seat us
the, hatchet, we took liold.of it, Father, and made
use of it, Father, as you know. • •
" FATHER—Liiten; Your Red Children want
back their Old Boundary Lines, that they may
have the Lands which belong to them : and this,
. Father, when the war began you promised to get
• for then,.
" Lunza----Listen. Your Red Children have
sullered a great deal; they are sad, indeed they
are pitiful. They want your assistance,' E,ther;
They want arms for their Warriors, and clothes
for their Ili-omen and Children. You do Hot know.
the numbers of your Red Children, Father. There
are many, .who have never yet received any arms
-or clothing. It is necesSary, at present, Father,
to send more than 'you formerly did.
FATHER--Listen. At the beginning of the
war you promised us, when the' Americans would
I put their hand forward, you would draw yours
back. Now, Father, we request, when the Awe-
ricans put their baud out (us we hear they mean
to do), knock it away Father : and the second
time when they put out their hand., draw your
Sword—lf not, Father, the Americans will latigh
at us, and say our treat Father, who lives beyond
the Great Lale, is a Coward; Father.
"FATHER—Listen. The. -Americans are tak-
ing our Lands from us every day. They have no,
hearts, Father. They have no pity for us. They
want to drive us beyond the Setting Sun. But, •
Father, we hope, although we Are few, and are
here us it were upon a littleJsland, our great and
mighty Father, who lives beyond 'the Great Lake,
will not forsake us in our distress, but will conti-
nue
to remember his fraithfid Red Children. , .

" This, Father, is all I have to say. This is from
your Chiefs and Warriors ; this is all they have
to car."

Newash then advanced to bis Excellency, and
presented him sVith the Black Wampum and the
1310mly Belt.
.... .

'Ai; talk was nnich longer in the original lan-
guage, apparently in consequence of is great deal
of necessary 'circumlocution; but was delivered
with precision, and in an animated and intrepid
manner. Miiass, who spoke on the former occa-
sion, again followed Newash, in a Talk compris-
ing nearly the same topics with the foregoingi
but recited in a tone of voice as soft and 'Ocpres-
sive as the fialian, and in a manner completely
theatricJ.

Exceitenry the Governor in Chief then
made the Chiefs -80 d Wnriors' the folicAving
Answer, to the Talks or Speeches that had been
811,1 i essed to-him ift th,ir beir4ll:

Q thank *.iza Great Spirit for his prot2ction

[From an American Paper, dated March 24.]
The, Indian Cliels and Warriors lately /arrived
at Quebec had their first audience of his Excel-
lency the Governor in Chief on Tuesday, the 15th
They were received by his Excellency with
a good deal of state, in the great room in the Old
Castle, a!dl experienced. from him the most cor-
dial welcome. Tire orchestra, which was suitably
t:ecorated with the Royal Standard, was fiikd by
the Band of the 70th Regiment, which played at
intervals a variety of martial airs..
After a long pause, which seemed to be excit-
ed by the novelty of the.,scent, and which was
paised in the gratification of mutual curiosity,
the Chiefs anti Warriors presented themselves in
succession before Lis Excellency, and shook haads
with him in the most friendly and hearty manner.
Newash, a distingnished Chief of the Ottoas,
then advanced to the middle of the room, ae-t-,m-
-pitied by an interpreter; and addressed his Excel-
lency in a Speech, or Talk, altogether conipl'.nwn-
tary, and by way of introduction only. It con.=
sist.ed of a number of .short sentences, expressive
of gratitude to the " Giver of Life". for having
given them spirits and strength to travel so far to
see their Father, and for having granted them
one, who seemed so much inclined to attend to
their wants. The Orator Concluded by declaring
that he and the other Chiefs and Warriors cverk
too much overcome with the kindness shown to
them, and the grandeur with which' they were
surrounded on all sides, to be able that day to
e!• er on the serious objects of their visit ; and -re-
quested another time might be appOinted for that
purpose. Newash was followed by a Saulk Chief,
who -attracted great notice by his easy-, yet ele-
vated deporitneut. His Talk was to the same
eLfect with the former, but decidedly more elo-
quent ; concluding in a very impressive manner
with the following sentence In the West we
have often before heard of our Father, but never,
until thisalty, have we had the satisfaction to be-.
hold him."
