FROM A LONDON PAPER.

GENERAL AUGUSTUS BOWLES.
The election Of gen. Bowles to be the
Chief of the Creek, and three other nations
Of Indians, is an event which mutt be fol-
lowed with the mott interefing con(equen-
ces. On the Northern continent Of A.
merica, It promifes to put a flop to the
gradual determination ofthe natives, which
the enemies of the Europeans, and their
defendants, were acce!erating with the
mott Aagitious celebrity. The iimple
means by which he has attempted to effect
this great purpofe, is, by the introduction
of agriculture and military difcipline a.
mong them. Z
The prefent war in which he is engaged,
arode cut of the:articleso of the two treaties
between this nation with Spain and Ame-
RIGA, 1883; in which the King cedcd %
thofe two powers respectively, all the
territory which, by virtue Of former COM
pacts with the natives, he then held III 70
vereignty.
