LEXINGTON, June IA.


On Saturday evening last twelve chiefs
deputed fro IL the Usage nation of Indians,
and two boys, arrived in this town, on their
way to the city of Washington, on a visit
to the President of the United States. It
is said the object of their visit is to enter
into a treaty with the United States, with
whom they are DESTROYS TO be on friendly
terms. Their towns are situated upwards
OF 500 miles up the Missouri, on the O.
sage river. The tribe consists Of about
fifteen hundred warriors, who live i'm two
settlements, at no great distance from
each other. They are of gigantic Sta
tue, being all (the men) above six feet in
height, and well proportioned. They are
represented as ferncious people, VIII,
wish To be at war with ali the other tribes
Of Indians. On their passage down The
Mi souri,, five Of their party were Killed
by ne >acqnas and Henard tribe of In
dians. Several others retui ned from ST.
Louis, having f,llel sick.
NJ. Choleau, French gentleman of
the first respectablIly, and a citizen of
Louisiana, and who has for number ot
years had the exclusive privilege o! ira
ding with the O,ages- has been Induced
by Capt. Lewis 10 accompany In III.
There are also IN company, several oUng
French gentlemen, who intend appl ing 20
be admitted IN the military acuds M.
The party left 81. Louis the II n ulti-
mo. al which time Captains Lewis and
Clark were there and would leave il the
18Th on their tour 10 explore Louisiana.
Three men, who had been for threc years
h.,rN ,,,t hot
ledge Of the different tribes of Indians e.
tended a considerable distance, have been
engaged 10 so with Capt. Lewis as guides.
Those hunters relate that during their ex-
curslons they saw an Indian woman, who
. had been taken prisoner from nation who
live on the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
M. Choteau carries with him 10 the
President, toad or frog, of very curl
Gus speCies-its form is that of laudtor-
toise, very fat, covered with scales, OF a
dark grey color, short tail and head
formed like that of a buffaloe and is orna-
mented with six hornS.-It lived four
months in the possession of NJ. Choteau,
withouttaking any other nourishment than
little water, which was given it from
time To time.
This species OF frog is frequently found
in the prairies within the territory of The
Usage nation. They live in association
with species of ground squirrel and a
species of snake. Those associations oc-
cupy an area of from one 20 two acres OF
ground-from the surface are number of
holes which communicate with their sub
terranean habita ions--It is kept free from
dust or grass by the squirrels, who brush
1t with their tails--they are Of brown co
Tor, slender made and very scltve. They
frequently play among themselves on the
surface, keeping centInels-As soon as a
nv ne appe RS the watch gives the sig
nal. and they all instantly disappear. The
snak do not move until they perceive
the object themselves. The frogs being
ola slow INDECENT disposition, are easily
taken.
