IN the Philadelphia Gazette of the
aft ult is publiihed the addrefs of the
Indian chiefs of the Weftern nations
to the PreGdent of the United States,
and the PreGdent's reply by the Secre-
tary of War. After prefenting the
Great Pipe of friendihip and peace, and
expecting, in their metaphorical and
laconic file, the purity of their inten-
tons. and earnet wilhes for mutual
confidence between their tribes and the.
United States, they complain, as grie-
vance, that the fllss of land made by
them, to individuals of the whites,
previous to the treaty of Crenville, be-
tween gen. Wayne and themielves, are.
difannulled, by law of the United
States, iince which the equivalent Zip
ulated to be given by thoie to whom it
was transferred has ceafed to contri-
butte to their fub6iienoe. The an(wer
to their requel, to have thofe private
fales confirmed, (Which were too fire.
quently procured by citcumvention,)
mutt be convincing and acceptable to
the native proprietors ofthe conceded
foil. After informing them, that our
laws and culfoms TO prevent fraud, do
not allow of the purchafe of lands from
the Indians unlels in the prelence of
one of our Commiilioners, the Secreta-
ry adds,
