The bearer hereofis a chief among the
Delawares who reside on Apple Greek in
this territory. He has been selected by
his nation for the purpose of conveying to
the Delawares, Shawnees, Miamies, &c. in
your territory the substance of a speech
which lately made to the Shawnces and
Delawares at this place, with respect to the
Usage nation.
The Usage have killed one our citizens
more than IS months since and have failed
to deliver up the murderer, they have beat
en-, manned, wounded and otherwise insult
ed and NAL treated others they have stolen
a large number of our horses, they have
wantonly killed and destroyed our cattle,

BE, and from late information received by
the traders who have recently returned from
their villages, it appears that they eyince a
hostile disposition towards Us, and conse-
quently that other and exaggerated depreda-
tions Eaav be expected. / have in several
late conferences with the Slaawnees, Dela-
wares, Kipapoos, soos, Saues, Jaways,
&c. declared the Usage nation no longer I'M
der the protection Of the u. STATES, and set
them at liberty to adjust their several differ
ences with that abandoned nation in their
own way, but have prohibited their attack
ing them except with sufficient force to
destroy or drive them from our neighbor-
hood. The White Hair the great Chief OF
the Osages is row with me, he has found it
impracticable to govern this nation, and has
therefore repaired to this place for protec-
ton. The traders have been ordered to
leave their villages, as have also the hunters
and all other white persons to quit their
country considerable number had alrea-
dy arrived and the others are daily expected.
Under these circumstances I nope that you
viii permit the Indians in your territory to
take their own measures for attacking the
Usage. Its possible that part of the mi
litia Of Louisiana will be employed on this
service. The expedition will move about
the Goth Of September.
Accept the assurance of my most friend

the power Of 57czi 1as 10 keep it on, We
should be satisfied tina, it would lie cen

ought to lie until the commencement Of The
millennium all mankind shall become
righteous, and the IRON and Tie lamb shall lie

there will be commotions among mankind !;
1.-The embargo must therefore continue for
if we poke paw from under our shell while
the nations are at wal, we may chance to
get rap over the knuckles. Such are the
arguments ofgrest wise men; but people Of
only common intellects are puzzled to un
derstand them, and it is doubtful if they
viii be ruled by them. They cannot see the
propriety of shutting themselves up intirely.
because petulent neighbour or TOO have
declared they shall not come near the ter

ton of them will be continued, as we
find room, until completed. An atten-

and most effectual method of discover
ing the motives which have actuated
our government in pursuing policy
tending 50 Immediately to undermine
the main pillars of our national pros
Perity. We were in hopes that de-
yelopement of the correspondence be-

between Mr.. Armstrong s. the French
Minister, would wipe away the stigma
Of French Influence, which had been SO
repeatedly applied to them. But we
lament to state, that a perussl Of them,
instead of satisfying us Of the impair
tiality of our government relative to
foreign nations, has tended more than
any thing, to convince us to the con-
trary--and we are persuaded they win

Extract Of a letter from Washington,
dated yRoU. IL, 1903.


DEAR SIR,
The ministerialists oppose the dis
cussion Of the resolutions for raising
the embargo, and wish to keep it OF
until they make sure Of the election Of
Air. Madison after which they intend
TO adopt measures for more vigorously
enforcingit. If the good people Of the
commercial states, do not believe by
this time, that the destruction Of their
commerce is resolved upon especially
after reading the speech of Mr.. Ma
Conl know not what evidence will be
sufficient to convince them.-Haa they
believed what has been told them BY
the friends OF the commerce Of our
country, and elected Clinton for Presi-
dent, we might have saved our consti-
ntion andcommerce, from Tire destruc-
zion which awaits both We now find
sae hundred Thousand militia are to be
detached and held in readiness TO march
at a moments warning ---for what -
20 enforce the embargo laws!
Who would have thought at the a.
doptioa of the constitution, that so
soon as The year 1908, Congress would
pass laws so Injurious and obnoxious to
the citizens, that il would be necessary
tsdetacb and bold in readiness 10000
militia 10 enforce them Who would
have thongbt, that under the power
giLSn to 9reguiate trade" Congress
would assume the right 10 destroy It !
For this in effect is the emhargo.---
Is not this a military desPotism or
isading directly to it. wish the peo'
PIE seriously to consider. II is true
they. are called By the imposing name
