KIT T** *tom SIR ALEXANDER COCHRANE TO TILE
GREAT. AND ILLUSTRIOUS CNIETS Or THE CREEK
AND OTIII,II INDIAN NATIONS.
Hear; 0 le brave Chiefs of the Creek and
other Indian National
The great King George, oy beloved father, has
long wished to lineage the sorrows of his ,warlike
Indian chiltlren, and to assist them in *aiming their
rights and possessions from their bast and perfidious
oppressors.
The trouble nor Father has led In chigroring hit
enemies beyond the great wattlis, he has hr r:gilt
to a glorious conclusion • and peace is egaisi restated
• amongst all the nations of Europe.
The desire, therefore, which he has long felt of
assisting you, and the assarance which be has given
you of his powerful protection, he has now chosen
as his chiefs by sea and land to carry into effectual
waecution.
Know then, 0 Chiefs and Warriors, that in obe.
• dience to the Great Spirit which directs the soul of
vol. Mighty Father, we come with a power which it
were vain for all the People of the United States to
oppose. Behold the great waters covered with our
ships, from which will go forth an army of warriors,
as minveroos es the whole Indian nations; inured to
the toils and hardships of war—accustomed to Id-.
umph over all opposition--the constant favourites of
victory.
. The same principle of justice which led our Father
to wage a war of 20 years in favour of the oppressed
nations of Europe, animates him now in support of
his Indian children; and by the efforts of his war-
• riots, he hopes to obtain for them the restoration of
those lands of which the People of the bad spirit
Iwo lately robbed them.
We promised you by our talk of last June, that
great fleets and armies were coming to attack our
foes; and you will have heard of our having triumph-
antly taken their capital City of Washington, as well
as many other places—beaten their armies in battle,
and spread terror over the heart-of their country.
Come forth then, ye brave Chiefs and Warriors,
as one family, and join the British standard--the
signal of union between the powerful and oppressed—
the symbol of justice, led on by victory.
If you want covering to protect yourselves, your
wives, and your children against the winter's cold,—
come to us, and we will clothe you. If you want
arms and ammunition to defend yourselves against
your oppressors,—come to us, sod we will provide
• you. Call around you the whole of your Indian
brethren—and wo will show them the same tokens of
oar brotherly love.
And what think you we ask in return for this
bounty of our Great Father, which we his chosen
warriors have so much pleasure in offering to you ?
Nothing more than that you should assist us MD.
folly in regaining your lest lands—the lands of your
forefathers—froin the common enemy, the People of
the United States; and that you should hand down
those lands to your children hereafter, as we hope
we shall now be able to deliver them up to you, their
lawful owners: and you may rest assured, that
whenever we have forced our enemies to ask for a
peace, our good Father will on no account forget the
welfare of his mach.loved Indian children.
Again then, brave Chiefs and Warriors of the In-
dian Nation, at the mandate of the Great Spirit, we
call upon you to come forth arrayed in battle to fight
the great fight of justice, and recover your loug-lost
freedom. Animate your hearts in this sacred cause—
unite with us as the sons of one common father,—
and a great and glorious victory will shortly crown
our exertions.
Given ender oar bands and seals on board his
Britannic Majesty's ship Tonoant, off Appola-
chicolo,
ALEX. COCHRANE.

GREAT AND ILLUSTRIOUS WARRIOI4
We have received the letter you sent to us by
Colonel Nicol's. You say well, great Chief, that
our breasts are filled with the glorious love of liber-
ty, and, protected by our greet and good Father,we
will live or die free, of which we have given hard
proof, by choosing to abandon our country rather
than live in it es slaves. We thank you for the sop.
plies you have sent and promised to send ; we receive
them with unbounded gratitude: hot for them we
should all have perished. Be pleased to send our
love and duty to our good end great father, King
George. He hes shown that be has not forgot his
once happy children, and we bless the Great Spirit
for freeing him from his enemies in Europe. Our
long absence from him we liken to the longings
of a father for a lost son ; our happiness like
a father who has found one. Your sons whom
you have sent to our aid we bail as brothers
on the shores of the sea, but we hope soon
to embrace them in the laud of our forefathers. Our
distress has been beyond the power of our tongues
to tell you; we were driven from oar homes, and our
clothes and household utensils taken from us. From
that time until we took your sons by the hand, fa-
mine, nakedness, sad their aceompsoying miseries
have been oar lot. Our tethers were true mu to
