PROM AN AMERICAN PAPER.

The Michigan Herald of the hof September,
c,‘nt4ins an interesting account of the Grand Council
u": 11 the Indians and Guvern-r C.:!s and General
('lrk, Un:ted States Comnii,sionets. a.zcompauied by
M r Biddle and other,, on the 4th of August last, at
I'teirie dcb Chiens. The number of Indians assembled
wAs about tilt re thous Ind.

They All al rived at the coaucil ground, clothed in
their war dress, and armed with bows and arrows, war-
clubs, and other Indian implement; of warftie, very
taw having fire-arms, and encamped separately, under
their respective ch.eti. The Sacs and Foxes were the
last to active, and are represented as making a very
warlike and imposing appearance. They came up the
Missi-sippi in a fleet of can es, and as they approached
the Prairie, they lashed their canoes together, and
passed and repassed the town ilia connected q'sadton,
stand g erectosinging their war songs and dancing
alter their cu,tom. On landing, they drew tip in Fair-
-641 corder. ar if in warlike defiance of their enemies, the
Sioux, who were encamped on the opposite side of the
town, and who shot back the fierce look of defiance
upon their ancient foes. The elder chiefs of the op-
posing tribes were prudent enough, however, to re-
strain
the kindling passions of their young men ; and
their ftieuds, the Chippewas, who were already on the
ground, passed along their line, and received friendly
salutations.

The Council was held under a spacious booth, co-
vered with gre:n boughs erected for the purpose. After
hearing the pretcirsi•uis of each party, which occupied
from ten to twelve days, a Treaty was concluded, by
hich the boundaries of the respective tribes were set-
tled, and peace and amity established among them.
This is the first time for a centurtb, that the tomahawk
could be said to be completely buried on the Upp?r
Mississippi ; and it is believed that the pledges which the
Indians have made to each other will be observed with
good faith. if this should be the case, it will not only
be an advantage to them, but to the persons engaged
in the fur•trade in those distant regions ; becawe the
Indians may nom explore the whole of their country in
peace and safety, and avail themselves of all their ad-
vantages, when before they were confined to certain
limits, which they dare not cross for fear of their ene•
mies. Governor Cass and General Clark were to leave
the Prairie on the '2lst ult. for St. Louis.

PEARL'S new Nlelo Drame produced at the Adeiphi,
;which was acted for the first time on Tuesday se'u-
night, is so attractive, that this little Theatre has over-
floe ed every evening since it was produced. T. P.
CocEe's personation of a hardy tar is admirable, and
. w e have seldom seen the sterling character, acted by
TERRY, to gre +ter advantage.
The submarine forest at the mouth of the Char is
found to be about half a mile in breadth; the sea pre-
vents the tracing it any further in a southern direction.
Wli,n about a goat ter of a mile from its first appearance,
the fossil marl is very thick, and, as geologists know, is
wholly coropo-ed of vegetable matter. The different
kinds of fern remain very perfect, and nuts are found
scAtered about in a petrified state.
FATAL Cilia RREL.—An Inquest was taken before W.
JOYNER ELLIS, Esq. one of the Coroners for Glouces-
tershire, on Saturday se'nuight, at the Fishponds, near
Bristol, on view of the body of George Pearce, a lad
about sixteen, who was stabbed by a fellow-labourer in
the coal-pits at that place. Having quarrelled about a
candle which Pearce broke in attempting to snatch it
from his companion, Wm. Williams, the latter made a
desperate thrust at him with the pointed part of the
candlestick, which entered his back, passed through the
kings, and penetrating the heart, he died instantly.—

LA Psaouse.—Captain Maltby, recently arrived at
Paris, has brought a report, supported by presumptive
evidence, that the spot where the intrepid La Perouse
relished 40 years ago, with his brave crew, is now
ascertained. An English whaler discovered a long and
low island, surrounded by innumerable breakers, situa-
ted between New Caledonia and New Guinea, at nearly
equal distance Iron each of these islands. Tt e in-
habitants came on board the whaler, and one of the
chiefs had a Cross of St. Louis hanging as an ornam?nt
from one of his ears. Others of the natives had swords,
on which the word 44 Paris" was engraved, and some
were observed to have medals of Louis XVI. When
they were asked how they got these things? one of the
thief's, aged about 50, said that when he was young a
larze ship was wits ked in a violent gale on a coral reef,
that all on board perished, and that the sea cast
some boxes on shore, which contained the Cross of St.
Louis and other things. During his voyage round the
world, Captain'Manby had seen several medals of the
same bind, which La Perouse had distributed among
then:ldris of California; and as La I'erouse,'cn hi.
