LETTER OF MR. A.RBUTIINOTT.

" Nassau, N. P., Aug. 26, 1817.
" Sir,—l am especially authorized to address
you by the Chiefs of the Creek Nation, whose
names I affix to the present.
" They desire it to be made known, that they
have implicitly followed your advice in livint:
friendly with the Americans, tv:to were their
neighbours, and no wise attempted to moles(
them ; though they have seen the Americans en-
croach on their territory, burning their towns, and
making fields where their houses stood ; rather
than make resistance, they have retired lower in
the Peninsula. The town of Ecan-Halloway, on
the Chattahouche, where Otis Mico was Chief,
is the instance of the encroachments of the Ame-
ricans.. This town is situated under the guns of
Fort Gaines, and Mico was desired to submit to
the Americans, or his town would be blown to'
atoms; rather than do so, he retired, is nr;:v.
living in the lower nation, and his fields,where the
town stood, are ploughed up by the Americans.
'They complain of the English Government neg-
lecting them, after having drawn them into war
with America ; that the promise made to them
of sending people to reside among them has not
been kept ; arid if they have not some person or
persons resident in the nation, to watch overt heir
interests, they will scion be driven to the extre-
mity of the Peninsula. You left Mr. Hambly to
watch over the interests of the Creek nat ion, but
you had hardly left the nation when he turned
traitor, and was led by Forbes to take the part of
the Americans; his letter (I) to me, of which I
annex you a copy, will show you what lengths he
would go if lie had the means. It is Hambly and
Dayle who give the Indians all the trouble they
experience ; they send their emissaries among
the lower Creeks, and make them believe the Con-
hittas, aided by the Americans, are coming down
on them ; they send to the Couhittas, and report
the lower nation is alining against them—thus
both are put in fear, and their fields are neglect-
ed, and hunting is not thought of. I have en-
deavoured to do away this fear, by writing to the
Chiefs of Couhitta Town, that they ought to live
on friendly terms with their brethen of the lower
nation,- whose wish it was to be on good terms
with them, and not to listen to any bad talks, but
to chase those that give them from among them.
My letter was answered by them rather favour-
ably; and I hope the talk that was sent to the Big
Warrior last June will heal the differences between
them.

" Hidlis Adjo arrived in my schooner at Oko-
lokne Sound last June, and was well received by
all the Chiefs and others who came to welcome
him home ; in consequence of his arrival, a talk
was held, the substance of which I put on paper
for them, and it was sent with a pipe of peace to
the other nations.

" Hidlis Adjo wished td return to Nassau with
me, hut 1 prevailed on him to stay with the nation
and keep them all at peace.

" 1 am desired to return Hidlis Adjo's warmest
acknowledgment for the very handsome manner
in which you treated him in Eng;and, and he begs
his prayers may be laid at the foot of his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent. 1 left him and all
his family well on the 20th of .;acre.

" Old Cappachimico desired me to send you his
best respects, and requests that you will send out
some people to live among them, and all the land
they took from Forbes shall be theirs; at all
events, they must have an agent among them to
see that the Americans adhere to the Treaty, and
permit them to live unmolested on their own
land ; this agent should be authorized by his
Ma-
jesty's Government, or he will not be attended to
by the Americans.

" In the Gazettes of Georgia the Americans
report the Semanole Indians are continually com-
mitting murders on their borders, and making
incursions into the State; these are fabrications
tending to irritate the American Government
against the poor Indians ; for during the time I
was in the nation, there was only one American
killed, asd he, with two others, was in the act of
driving off cattle belopging to Boleck, Chief of
Sawahee ; whereas three men and a boy were
killed last June by a party of cattle stealers, while
in their hunting camps ; the boy they scalped ;
and one of Boleck's head men was killed on St.
John's river in July. The Backwood Georgians,
and those resident in the borders of the Indian
nation, arc continually entering it and driving off
cattle ; they have in some instances made set-
tlements, and particularly on the Choctokatehe ri-
ver, where a considerable number have descended.
" By the treaty with Great Britain, the Ame-
ricans were to give up to the Indians all the lands
that may have been taken during the war,. and
place them on the same footing they were in
1811. It appears they have not done so, that
Fort Gaines on the
.Chattahouchy river, and
Camp Crawford on the Flint River, are,both on
the 'lndian territory, that was not in possession of
the Atnericans in 1811.

They are fearful that before any aid is given
by the English Government, they will no longer
be in possession of any territory. I wrote last
January to his Excellency the Hon. Charles Bagot,
representing the encroachments of the Americans,
as 1 was informed by the copy of a letter from the
Right Hon. Earl Bathurst (handed me by his
Excellency Grovertior Cameron), that his Majesty's
Ambassador had received orders 0) watch over the
interests of the Indians; Since my return here, I
have received from Mr.Moodle, of Charleston, an
extract of a letter from the Honourable Charles
Bagot, that the expellee of postage is-so consi-
derable, any further communications of the same
nature must be sent him by private hands ; now,
Sir, as no person goes from this direct to Wash-

[PRICE SEVENPENCE.

ington, how am I to be able to comply with his
desire ? Thus he will be kept ignorant of the real
situation of the poor Indians and the encroach•
tuents made on their lands by American settlers,
while he may be told by the American Govern-
ment that no encroachments have been made, and
that the forts they still hold are necessary to check
the unruly Seminoles; thus the person appointed
to watch over the poor Indian, having no other
means of information than from the parties inte-
rested in their destruction, and from seeing from
time to time, in the American Gazettes, accounts
or cruel murders, &c. committed by the Indians
on the frontier settlers of !he United States, he
apprehends the Indians merit all the Americans do
to them. But let his Majesty's Government ap-
point an agent with full powers, and to corre-
spond with his Majesty's Ambassador at ‘Vashing.
ton, and his eyes will then be opened as to the
motives that influence American individuals, as
well as the Government, in vilifying the Indianis.
" The powers given me, and the instructions,
were to memorial his Majesty's Government, as
well as the Governor-General Havana ; and I fear
that a memorial to the Governor-General would
he of no Ilse. Referring you to the enclosed (2),
I ant, most respectfully, _

(i) Extract of a Letter signed W. ELimbly, received at Oko

lohne Sl;und. May, 1817.
SIR,--I am desired by the Chiefs of the nation to request
you will extricate yourself from among a band of -outlaws,
among whom you now are, for the arm of justice is lifted up
against them, and it will ere long fall heavy on them, you,
and your property. They say they would have no objection
to your settling any way to the west of Appalachicola River;
but where you now are,•you are among a set of outlaws: they
have lately committed twenty most Gruel murders on women.
and children on_ the frontiers of the United States, and
stolen 100 horses, and they. say it is by your desire.
