Secretary oCWdr.

SIR,
now have the plea sure to inform you
that a number OF prin cipM Chiefs have
returned from Maiden and are now here.
I have examined them separately and
they give this account in WHICH they I'll
agree. That Aubay way called there on
his way home from here-that great at.
tention was paid to him by M'Kee and
the British oficrTs-thar four days ago
they were called to a council-that they
were informed that o war would soon
take place between them and the Ameri-
cans, and that they (the Indians) must
take up the hatchet in their favor against
the Americans-that before they gave
an answer they held a council by them
selves, and appointed A~ubayway to make
their answer, which was as follows"
That they had lived under the protec-
ton Of the United States-tkat they
were treated with justice and kindness
by their great Father the President-
that they had lately made a treaty IN
which they acknowledge themselves On.
der the protection or the u. s. and no
other power-that they had received and
were entitled to valuable presents from
the y. s. that their Great Father the
President did not ask them to involve
themselves in the quarrels Of the white
! people, but to remain quiet spectators ;
that they were all determined to take his
advice ; that it was an evidence he was
strong enough to fight his own battles
that after this'eouncil many Of them lef,
Maiden, although, they were all urged
10 remain. -
l have every reason tobelieve this tc
be true; as many as seven o. eight hun,
~dred have ealledhere within two Or thre.
days on their way te-their villages.

they want to eat. ] hope in aEew day
they will go to their villages and huntin,
