PARIS, (ken.l April 10.

On Thursday last we received lnteIll.
gence, BY some gentle men on their way
from NAtcheL, that party Of the Creek
natiol of Indians, ten in number, on
Sunday the 81 inst. attacked a crew Of
men trading up the Tennessee river, in
a perogne, fifteen miles above the mouth
OF DAek. The crew consisted Of seven

men killed we are sorry to say, is Mr..
Edward Porter, brother to capt. John
Porter, ofthis place the other was Mr..
Hervy, of Mason county. Capt. Morti.
mer, was wouuded in four places, one
ofwhich was through the wrist.
From the information it appears there
were no circumstances whiehcoald justi-
~ the attack. Some ofthe I1diaus went
in canoe to the Perogue I'd buy powder
and whiskey, and upon their being told
there was none, they went off muttering,
and were overheard to say in English,
"damn them, they had some, for they
smell it," A young man which captain
Mortimer, had hired on the Tennessee
river, to assist in navig A,inG the boat,
told him, he knew some Of the Indians,
aud that they had a spite against him, and
if the captain did not put him on shore,
they would probably kill the VIII lie crew I:
he was accordingly landed: but tie H.
dams ran down and fred on them. and
continued the 6re for several hundred
yards down The river Mr.. Hervy fs.

mortal wound, The crew reueated to
the mouth Of Richland creek, where they
buried our two unfortunate murdered
country men in as decent a manner as
their circumstances would admit. .--.......::.
A company Of men was raised, and
went in pursuit Of the Indians, but had
not overtaken them when these gentleN
men left there. An express was like
wise sent to their nation. One of the
wounded it was tho't would not recover.

. MIR. Helm further states, that is he
passed thro' the Chickasaw nation, he
was told that the Creek nation had deter
mined to 60 to war with the whites, and
that the sixth town Of the Choc,aws, had
joined them. A party Of the Greeks had
been in the Old. Town for some time,
persuading the Chickasaws 10 20 to war
and he was cautioned to take care Of the
~Cherokees, as it was believed they would
join the Greeks. When he arrived at.
the Cherokee nation, he found them
holding their war-dance their warriors
wore red beads, carried knives. toma-
hawks and sealps, but offered no violence
to any of his party. The Chickasaws
appeared friendly, and said ifthe whites
would send an army. they would assist
to drive of the Greeks and Choctaws.

From the Uuca Patriot.

Byagentleman directly fromVermont,
We are informed, that in an attempt of
the inhabitants to take a large raft to
Montreal, contrary to the embargo laws,
they were resisted on Lake Champlaiu,
by two sloops belonging to the govern
ment-when an action took place, in
which fourteen or fifteen men were
wounded. The raft made itsescspe and
proceeded to its place Of destination.
We learn bv a gentleman from Yer.
mont, who resides near Lake Champlain,
that the raft preparing to go down the
Lake to Montreal was near half q mile
long, had regular fort built upon it bali
proof, aud is manned with between and
600 men armed. The raft is represen-
ted to contain all the surplus produce Of
that state raised the year past, such as
wheat, potash, pork, beef, SC. and said
to be worth rising of three hundred thou.
sand dollars Gov. Smith of Vermont
has ordered out the militia to arrest the
progress. 1t is feared this cruel and ar
binary policy of forbidding intercourse
with our neighbors will cost the lives Of
some of our most valuable citizens.
N. r. En-. Post.
"A gentleman from Vernon" has
communicated that raft is preparing, on
Lake Champlain nearly hall a mile long,
add which is 10 contain all the surPlus
produce of that state, to be transported
to Montreal. A fort also, he reports,
is erected, which is "hall proof" He
also informs that Gov. Smith has ORDER
ed oat the militia to intercept this arma.
ment, and if all is true, that the "gen-
tIemau from Vermont" reports, dreadful
consequences must ensur. A raft half a
mile inlength would require large space
Of water for its navigation. There cer-
tainly is no lake or river in the known
world IN which it could perform anv evo-
lutious, and valuable citizens certainly
would be " desPicabte fools, !" to venture
their persons or their property in such An
undertaking. ~. T: oracle.
