LORD SELKIRK.

Advices from Montreal, to the 23d Angusf) In-
form us, that on the evening of the 19th, Mr.
bitswi, one of the Agents of the North West COM-
pany, arrived there from Fort William, bringing
accounts from the Red River to the 22d of July.
Mr. Shays reached the Red River most oppor-
timely, as the stock of provisions had been in a
. •
;winner abandoned by the people who had it in
Charge. On Mr. SHAW making the-Forks, he was
immediately joined by a large band of the natives,
who offered him their services, not only to protect
the provisions, but to assist in driving away, what
they term, the bad dogs, from the land. Mr. SnAw
visited Lord SELK/RE at Fort Dou;,-,,las, who express-
ed great satisfaction at seeing hint, and told him
that himself and followers, about 160 in all, were
.almost in a state of starvation, having been obliged
chiefly to subsist on cat-fish for the last month,
and that he now looked to the provisions of the
North-West Company for the subsistence of his
people. Mr. ShAw objected to this for the rea-
son of not diminishing his. own supp:ies. His
Lordship said, he had the means to enforce com-
pliance u ith his request, and endeavoured to pre-
vail on Mr. SHAw t 4 resign a part without com-
pulsion. Mr. SHAW refused the supply, and ul-
timately maintained his point. Cal. CoLTMAN then
arrived, and mask known trsboth parties the instruc-
tions he bail -reciived from Government relating to
.111e-it-disputes:which were to ent-orce the cessation
"'of all. hostility bott io Canaila and the Indian
" " countrytand the Annual restoration of all proper-
. •
".ty captured during-their disputes, the freedom of
. " 'trade and intercourse with the Indians, until the
triars'now pending can he brought to a judicial
" decision, and the great question at issue with
I respect to the rights of the two companip shall
•" be definitively settled." The North West
Company readily offered a prompt obedience to
the orders of the Commissioner in pursuance of
these instructions : and although his Lordship at
first endeavoured in any way to avoid the restora-
tion of the property he had seized, still finding his
opposition was ineffectual, he signed the follow-
ing Proclamation, which was drawn out at the
request of the Commissioner, by Mr. M'GILLI-
'fRAY, the agent, of the North ‘Vesr.Company
whereas the ;Proclamation of his Royal Highness the Prince
bf Wales, Regent of the United Kingdom of Great Briton.)
and Ireland, in the name, and on the behalf of Isis Majesty,
whereof a copy is firs-emit° annexed, and herein referred to,
was,. by the express commaudof his Royal Highoese as afore-
aaid, issued at Quebec on the 3d day of May last by his Ex-
ellency Sir J. Sherbrooke, &c. for the various objects and
purposes therein specified ; and whereas the Hon. W. It.
Coltman, one of his Majesty's Special Commissioners named
in the said Proclamation, bath arrired in the Indian territory,
and is now encamped at the Forks of the Rt.d River; and
whereas one ob:ect of the said Proclamation has been accom-
'plished by due obedience shown to his order for the restoration
ut such property belonging to the North-West Company, as
could be identified to hare been in.the possession of the said
Company previous to the recent disputes mentioned in the
-said Proclamation, and which had hitherto been retain
ed at Fort Douglas in this vicinity ; and whereas the 'toiler-
signed parties hereto, namely, the Right Honourable Earl of

tion.; now these presents witness, that we, the undersigned
