Chi hearing the translation of each clause, con—
taining. a diiierent subject, the Chic,s• anti War-
riors gave their asseliii OS, .14 usual with them, by
a peculiar guttural sound; _and it was remarkable
that they expressed, as strong and involuntary an.
approbation to the recommendation made to them . „
or Mercy to their Prisoners, as to any other'part
that 10-...lit,he supposeu to aneet them more agree- I
ably.

On terminating the answer, his Excellency de-
livered to the, Interpreter the Bloody Belt, to be
handed ti, the Chiefs and Warriors, in testimony
of the mutual determination to execute with fide-
lity this renewed. promise of alliance. The Inter-
preter, after making one round of the area, chant-
ing a part of the War song, delivered the Belt to
Newash. He paced round in the sante nianner,
slowly, eltai:ting the war song, and making many
expressive gestures in allusion .to the Belt. The
otter Chiefs and. Warriors followed in turn,- and
separatelyi)iaying great attention to precedence
in the ceremony; some with a sabre, others with
a pistirl; to accompany their gestures ; all carry-
ing the Belt, and chanting sonic part of the war
song. The'clianting was musical, although mo-
notonous„the subject •patte relating exelusivtly
to rear. One of the sentences or stanzas, trans-
lated literally, is_as follows
" Under the clouds I stand,
With this- Belt I go:
By this, any heart is strong;
" I shall have courage tn*die by the foe. 7
•
Andanother, as follows
" Now I take hold of this Belt, •
as birds fly in the air,
Strirp,g is any heart, and rimod I go,
Seeiihig to die by the foe."
During the performance of their rOunds,-twd or
three made short addresses to the Chiefs and War-
riors.. Among these a ..Kickapoo made himself:
conspicuous by his earnest maimer,and a singu-
lar clearness of
.expression. •
" There is our Father—here is the Belt—there
you are. Itie Great Spirit presides. NOw we
are-One, Wand none can flinch: If we stand by
our "Father, be will'stand by us. Our path is in
the West ; the war shall brighten there. The
sky begins to clear ;. the light' falls on bur lands ;
and soon again shall our women and children be
an them, You Sauiks, you Chippeways; and
yon of diferent.lSZations, we are all one. We will
fight then with our Father, and never cease to,
fight, while ,we have' life, or until we have got
back our lands."

On the termination of the ceremony of the
Belt, Teeuu►seth's sister was presented to Lady
Prevost, and after having had the honour of
shaking hands, received from her Latlyshira bas-
ket ofpresents. -The principal contents consisted
in a suit of mourning-ornanfents, a selection, the
dElicacy' of which was. justified by' the previous
conduct -qr. the 'bero's sister for when his Ex-
cellency, in his answer, lalintied to the death of
her brother, she was seen very unaffectedly to
shed tears.
A Basket of kPresents was also sent to Mrs.
Norton,
The Chiefs anti Warriors then, as before, were
conducted to another apartment, to partake of
refreshments prepared them.
It is highly gratifying .to know that these brave
Chiefs and Warriors, who represent several of the
Indian Nations, have met with a reception worthy
of the great and generous Nation in whom they
have placed their reliance. It is indeed true they
merit from 113 every favour that can be shewn them.
They did not hesitate to side with us at the open-
ing of the war, when, at least as far as regarded
their Country, the chances were against us. They
have been faithful throughout our, partial disas-
ters, and even when our own troops forgot them-
selves in last October, they continued to fight and
harass the enemy. They have never betrayed us
once, as our own Whites have done. They have
not fought on the '' flanks and rear only," but
have always coveted the post of danger. In short,
we are the only power for whom they have ever
departed from their usual inconstancy, and sill).-
tted to all the restraints of militnry discipline;
and perhaps this is the greatest compliment ever
