at the mouth OF the Wabash river. This
Cnnvocnuon is said to consist Of deputies

on III. subject OF going to war against the
Osag. Indians up the Missouri, i natl
on VITA whom they have long been at
erm!I". 1t was remarked Ov gentle
man resent at the coa*ocAtion; to
chief that as Mr.. Jefferson was Of pa
Ci6c t, n2cr, and avrrsc~t7T~thc tflsion
Of Llool, he very probably would use
his e<,rtlons to prevent hos,ihties-but
the ln,a'oe appeared 70 think, that the

matter that particularly related to their
own sovereignty. Whenth gentleman
who brought this intelligence. here, left

aud DIR. Irving judged it proper to receive the
