Sir-On the 14th inst Little Turtle breatl,ed his

RED OH the 18th with the honours of war; aud ever,
other mark OF distinction IN my power. The govt
was his disorder; And he died with more firm COM
posnre OF mind than any other person 1 have seen
he Prophet came here a week ago with sixty
hiekapoos, twenty Winnebasoes, and twelve Shaw
anoes, and they are yet here----When they came
there were about two hundred other indians, Della
wares, Miamics, and Puttawatimies, who lad come
TO meet their chiefs who had been out to apprehend
the murderers OF our people-the villains had know
ledge OF their approach and Dispersed, s. of course
we're not taken.
The prophet and his party cime forward the next
day after their arrival, and in presence of all the o.
Their Indians, after making strong professions of
peace and friendship, they declared that the British
hau invited them 10 take up tie tomahawk against
the United Ststes--tha they had said to them that
they, (the British) had plenty OF guns powder and
lead, and requested them to come ard shoot against
he long Knives, as the Indians call the people OF the
U. States. They said the British eon.idered them as
dogs, who would run at their sall and bite at any
tnDg they directed them to, and that they we're de-
termned not to listen 20 them--I gave each of the

the 'irand Council at Piqua, which they promised
TO do and the prophet told me that he would send
