" In :August, Capp bad a letter trout General
Gaines, in substance as annexed, No. 1, and
returned the answer as by Na.
further was said on either side. The'end of Oc-
tober a party of Americans, from a fort on Flint
river, surrounded Fowl Town during the night,
and began burning it. The Indians then in it fled
to the swamps, and in their flight had three per-
sons killed by fire from the Americans : they ral.
lied their people, and forced the Americans to re-
tite some distance, bat 'not before they had two
more persons killed. The Americans built a
block-house, or fort, where they had fallen hack
to, and immediately sent to the fort up the coun-
try for -assistance, staling the Itrdians were the

aggressors ; and also settled tvith lolternocklo for

the loss his people 11..“1 siiffered ; at the same time
sending a talk to. Kilter; Elatelay, by a head man,
(Aptng) that he would put things in such a train
as to prevent further encroachments, and get those
Ameticans to leave the torts But no sooner was
the good talk. given, and before the. bearer of it
returned home',•than hundreds ut Americans came
pouring down on the Indians; roused them to a
sense of their own danger ; they flew to arms, and
have been compelled to support them ever since It
is not alone trom the country, but by vessels enter-
ing Appalachicola river, in vessels with tro::ps, and
settlers are pouring in to the Indian territory; and
if permitted to continue, v, id soon ovetr“tt the
whole of the Indian lands. From the talk sent King
Hatchy, by Governor Mitchell, I ar in hopes
that those aggressions of the Americans on the
liv:l4m territory are not countenanced by the
American Government, but originate with. men
devoid of principle, who set laws and mstroct ions
at defiance, and stick at no cruelty and oppressions
to obtain their' ends, Against such oppresscotis
the American Government must use not only a 1
their influence, but, if necessary, force, or their
names will be.handed down to posterity. as a tor-
tion more cruel and savage to the unfortunate.
Aborigines of this country !hart ever were the
SpaniArds, ,in more dark ages, to the nations of
South America.

" The'English Government., as the special pro-
tectors of the Indian nations, and o'u whom alone
they rely for assistance, ought to step forward and
save those unfortunate people from ruin ;
,and as
you, Sir, sre appointed to watch over their inte-
rests., it.is my duty, as an Englishman, and the
only one in this part of the Indian nation, to in-
struct you of the talks the Chiefs bring me for
your information; and, I sincerely trust, Sir, -you
will use the powers you are invested with, for
the service and protection of those unfortunate
people, who look up to you as their saviour.—
I have written General 'Mitchell, who, I heard,
is an excellent man ; and,' as he acts as Indian•
Agent, I hope his influence will atop the torrent
of innovations, and give peace and quietness to the
Creek nation.

I pray your Excellency will pardon this in-
trusion, which nothing hut the urgency of the case
would have induced me to make.

most obedient servant,

I.‘To•hii Excellency. Governor Cameron,—lt is
with; pain we are again obliged to obtrude our-
selves on .your Excellency's' notice, in conse-
quence of theoeuel war we have been forced into
by the irruptions.of the Americans into the-heart
'ot our lands. It' will be first necessary to state
to yourExcellencv,,that one I-lead Chief (Kinni-
jah) receked a letter froth General Gaines, in
'August last, a copy of which is inclosed
.with the
'answer returned thereto. This letter only appears
to have been a- prelude to plans determined ou by
the said General and General Jackson,- to bring
on troop and settlers to drive us frotn our lands,
and sake possession of them ; for, in the ell(' of
October, a. party_of Americans surrounded Fowl
Town during the night, and in the morning, be-
gan setting fire to it, making the unfortunate in-
habitants fly to the swamp,' and who, in • their
flight, had three persons killed by the fire of the
Americans. Our Indians, rallying, drove the
Americans from the ro%vn ; in their exertions,.
bad two more of their ,people killed. The. Ante-
ricans retired some distance, and built.a fort ot
block-honse to protect themselves, until the as-.
sistance•they had sent for to the fort up the coons
try' should arrive. A letterlalling into the hands
of General Mitchell, the Indian Agent, which
states the Indians to have been the aggressors,-
he suspected its truth, and, on inquiry, found it
was the reverse. In-consequence, lie made sa-•
tisfaction to Inhemocklo, •the Chief of Fowl
Town, and his people, for the injuries they had
sustained ; at the same time desired ktalk to be
sent to our Head Chief, stating his wish to see all
the Indian friends, and that in twenty days he
would send and get the Americans. to retire from
the forts. But this had no effect.on the lawless
invaders of our soil, for, before the bearer of our
talks could return home, lie met hundreds of
Americans descending on us. They have also
settlers and troops, which came front Mobile, and
go up the Appalachicola River. Thus, seeing uo
end to these inroads, necessity compels us to have
recourse to arms, and our brethren are now fight-
ing for the lands they inherit from their forefa-
thers, for their families, and friends. But what
will our nations do wi,hout assistance ? Our si-
news of war are almost spent; and harassed as
we have been for years, we have not been able
to lay by the means for our extraordinary wants ;
and to whom can we look alp for protection and
support, but to those friends who have, at all for-
mer times, held forth their hands to uphold us,•
and who have sworn, in their late Treaty with the
Americans, to see our just rights and privileges
respected, arid protected from insult and aggres-
sion ? We now call on your Excellency, as the
Representative of our good Fatter King George,
to send us such aid, in ammunition, as we are
absolutely in want of; and, as our brother. Chief,
Hillisajor, was informed, when in England, that'
when ammunition was wanted, to enable us, to
protect our rights, your Excellency would supply
us with what Was necessary. We have applied to

the Sl►atti~l, Officer at the Port of Sr. Mark's, but
his small supply prevented his being able to assist
us; and twee have only on your Excellency to depend.
We )iketvie pray ynor Excellency would •be
pleased to lend an Officer c,r person to lead us
right, and to apportion the supplies you may he
pleased to send ns, agreeably to our proper wants.
" lu praying your Excellency will lend an ear
to our demand; and dispatch it
.Wit bout delay, we
remain your Excellency's faithful and most otie;..

papers,•that they had no knowledge of a -Sopreme
Being : this is not a subject to obtain correct no-
tions aboat from Sas-ages, whose language we do
not comprehend. Jack distiactly admitted that
they, entertained the same notions of a good and
evil spirit as their southern neiglibours'do, and

tain mod firations. seem to .en'ertain, But 1 must

were to the northward, and that they came down
south to pass the summer where there is more ice
and sitovvi and consequently more food to he had
than in the former sit nation,—si seendirg' paradox,
the truth of which, however, was completely ve-
rified by us. On the very northern summit of
,Batfiu's Bay, which could not be leSs than
78 degrees, there was much less snow on the
land, and much less ice on the water, than
we hail hitherto met with in any part of 'Davis'
Straits, and these people had told us that we
should find it So'; wed, therefore, might our new
frietols deem this the happy country,..and conclude
that all the world to the south of them was ice
and snow ! And if good looks and a. cheerftd
demeanour may be considered as indications of
happiness, they were certainly in the enjoyment
of it : they were all in excellent keeping, with
faces as round as the full moon, and exceedingly
like the people of Xatnschaika and the Aleutian,
Islands. Their dogs too were in excellent contli
tiou ; they have long bUsby tails like the fox, a
rough straggling mane toand,the neck, and have
a general sesenthlance to the volt : they seem very
quiet, and never balk; but a young dog, since its
arrivsl at Deptford, has learnt to. bark as loud and
long as the noisiest dog in the place.
A breeze of wind, and an open sea, were oc-

of them, and steered to the northward," leaving

least is neither the one nor the other,, but an
animal sabstance, the excrement of birds, as Mr.
Brande supposes, from- the qaantity of Uric -acid
it is found to contain; anti I have nodotibt but
lie is right, for in the very neighboUrhotid of it
were such myriads of birds, of the Auk, kind
(Alga Alce),' that when they rose up from the ice
or the snow, they literallyalatkened the sky; and
close to the spot where we landed was one of
their breeding places. If. I say that they some-
times appeared in hundreds of thousands, or even
millions, it will not give.yon an adequate idea of
their numbet s. We shot as malty as we pleased,
and fed die whole ship's company with them,
being very palatable food, free from all fishy. taste
or smell, and they made most excellent soup. We
used to bring .dowti from twenty or thirty at a
single shot ; and as -we had reason to believe that
these vast multititiLes were chiefly confined to
upper part of Baffin's Bay, we, laid in a stock for
future supply, by. placing them in casks, with
'layers of pounded ice between them.
Having passed Cape Dudley Digges we opened
out a sonnd or strait, which was considered to be
that of Baffin; named " Wolstenholm,,s Sound;"
hilt the shallowness of the water, and the ice
within it, gave no hopes of a passage that way,
and we accordingly passed it ar the distance of
15 or 20 miles. The " Whale Sound" of 'Baffin
was not more promising; but it appeared to
many very desireable that we should have ap•
proached somewhat nearer to. "Sir honias
Smith's Sound," at the -north-weitern extremity
of- the bay, which presented a very wide opening;
hat we passed it at the distence of 50 or 60 miles.
The land now stretched S.W., and we ran
with it, butt at so 'considerable a distance, thait
