The followinz doetiments,.will be read bit lie
public with much interest; They fully confirm all
that we have laid before them, with respect to the
case of the unfortunate Mr. Annorintorr, and as it
relates to the constant aggressions of the American's,
the defenceless state of the Indians, and the obliga-
tions of Great Britain by treaty to protect them
against lawless invasion :

" Nassau, N. P. August 26, 1817.
" SIR-1 afn especially authorised 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 living friendly'
with the Arnericar.s, who were their neighbours, and
no wise attempted to molest them ;though they have
seen the Americans encroach on their territory, burn-
ing their towns, and making fields where their houses
stood ; rather than make resistance, they have retired
lower in the Peninsula. The town of Evan
way on the Chattahouche, where Otis Mico was
chief, is the instance of the encroachments of the
Americans. 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 now living in the lower nation,
and his fields, where the town stood, are ploughed up by the
Americans. They complain of the English Government ne-
glecting them, after bluing drawn them into war with America;
that the promise made to them of sending people to reside among
them hu not been kept ; and if they have not some perstin or
persons resident in the nation, tio watch over their interests, they
will loon be driven to the extremity of the Peninsula. You left
Mr. nimbly to watch over the interests of the Creek nation ;
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 •
to me, of which I annex you a copy, will show you what lengths
he would go if he had the means. It is nimbly and Dayle who
give the Indians all the trouble they experience ; they send their
emissaries among the lower Creeks, and make them b..llieve the
Couhlttas, aided by the Americans, are coming down on them ;
they send to the Conhlttas, and report the lower nation Is arm-
ing agalost them—thus both are put in fear, and their fields are
neglected, and hunting is not thought of. I have endeavoured
to do away this fear, by writing to the Chiefs of Couhitta town,
that they ought to live on friendly terms with their brethren of
the lower nation, whose wish it was to be on good terms with
them, and not to listen to any bad mike, but to chase those that
give them from among them. My letter was Amend by them
rather favourably ; and I hope the talk that was sent to the big
tiraniar Lest June, win heal the differences betwcen them.

" Hidlis Adjo arrived in nif schooner at Okolokne Sound
last Juae, 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.
" llidiis Adjo 'wished to return to Nassau with me. but I
prevailed on him to stay with the nation and keep deem all
at peace.
" I am desired to return Hidlis Adjo's wannest acknowledg-
ment for the very handsome manner in which you treated him
in England, and he begs his prayers may be laid at the foot of
his Royal Highness the Prince Regent. I kft him and all his
family well on the 20th df June.
" Old Cap pachimico desired me to send yw his best respects,
and requests that you will send out sonic people to live among
diens, and all the laud they took front Forbes shall be thir's ;
at altessents 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 authorised
by his Majesty's Government, or he will not be attended to by
the Americans.

" the Gazettes of Georgia, the Americans report the Se-
=nee
.Indians are continually committing murders ou their
borders, and making incursions into the State : these are fabri-
cations, tetollog to irritate the A:netican Government against
the poar Indians; for during the time I was in the nation, there
was only one American tilled, and he, with two others, was in
the act of dt lying off cattle belonging to Boleck, chief of Sawa-
hee ; whereas three men and a boy were killed last June by a
party of cattle stealers, while in their hunting camps; the boy
was scalped : and one of llnleck's head men was killed on Salim
John's river in July. The Backwood Georgians, and those red- I
dent in the borders of the Indi.tn ration, are continually enter-
ing it and driving off cattle ; they have in same instaices made
settlements, and particularly on the Choctok..tehe river, where
a considerable number Lave descended.
" By the Treaty with Great Britain, the Americans 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 tht7 .sere
in 1811. It appears they have not done sn, that Fort Gaines
on the Chattahouchy river, and Camp Crawford on the Flint
river, are both on Indian territory, that was not in possession
of the Americans in 1811.

" 'Fiwy are fearful that before any aid is riven by the En:Tll-111
Cove:non:tit, they will no longer be in poss-ssion of any terri-
tory. I wrote last January to his Excsilency the
Charier Vogot, representing the encroachments of the .tme.i-
cans (as I was informed by ilk copy of a letter from the MLitt
Ilanuutable Earl Bathurst. handed me by his Excclle.:cy (io-
vernor Canwron) that his Majesty's Ambassador had received
orders to watch over the interests of the Indians. Sinc,i tr.y re-
turn here, I have received from Mr. 3loodle, of I'harleston, an
extract of a letter from the. Honourable Charles lia;ot, that the
expense of postage is so considerable, any further communica-
tion; of the same nature must be sent him by private hands ;
now, Sir, as no person goes front this direct to Washington, hew
am I to be able to comply with his desire ? thus he will be kept
ignorant of the real situation of the poor Indian, and the en-
croachments made on their lands by .Imerican settlers, while
he may be told by the American Government, that no en-
croachments hive been made, and that the forts they still hold
are necessary to check the unruly Semar.oles ; thus the person
appointed to watch over the poor Indian, having no other means
of information than front the parties intsmsted in their destruc-
tion, and from seeing 'from time to time in the American Ga-
zettes, accounts of Gruel murders, &c. committed by the Indians
on the frontier settlers of the United States, lie apprehends the
Indians meth all the Americaes do to them. But let his Ma-
jesty's Government appoint au Agent with full powers, and to
correspond with his blijerty's Ambassador at Washington, and
his eyes will then be opened as to the motites that influence
American individuals as well as the Government in vilifying the
Indians. The powers given me, and the instructions, were to
memorial his Majesty's Government, as well as the Governor-
General Marano ; and I fear that a memorial to the Governor-
General would be of no use. Referring you to the inclosed,t
" I am, most respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant,

" Sza—l am desired by the Chiefs of the Nation to request
you will extricate yourself from among a band of outlaws,
amen whom you now are, for the arm of justice is lifted up
against them, and it will ere long fall heavy un them, you, and
your property. They say they would have no objection to your
settling sty 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 cruel murders on women and children
on the frontiers of the United States, and stolen 100 horses, and
they say it is by your desire. (Signed)
