nations. The chiefs in behalf Of the tribes
that attended, have made professions of
friendship and attachment 10 the United
States, have 10 the most positive manner
declared their determination to adhere to
AID observe the existing treaties. to remain
neutral in the present war, and TO reject the
overturcs of the British, (Which they state
to have been repeated and pfessing) to en-
gage in il. They have engaged by the
most solemn promise to restraint their young
men from hostile acts against US, and have
agreed to be responsible for their conduct,
and to prohibit hostile Indians from going
to their towns, and to give notice of any
pr~emedtated hostility. The commission
ers presume not to Judge of the sincerity of
professions, especially of the professions
made by savages, il being the alone prero-
gative Of the supreme ruler Of the Universe
to Judge the heart, but considering that
their conduct will accord with their obvious
interest, and having taken every possible
means TO ascertain their views, have from
the result of these enquiries formed the OPS
Mon that their professions are sincere, and
accordingly in virtue of their Instructions
given the tribes who attended, assurances
that no act of hostility will be committed
against them by any citizen Of the United
States, while they observe a peaceabIe con-
duct.
The commissioners were of opinion that
the non attendance at the council by any
tribe after having been invited, was such
evidence of a hostile disposition, az to jus-
tify the suspension of the delivery Of their
annuities or presents. No goods, either
as annuities or presents, have been deliver.
ed except to the tribes who attended, nor
has annuities or other implements of war
been given in any case.

From the [ChiAicothe] FREEDMAN.
We understand that General Harrison
has received orders from the Secretary at
War, to march Immediately to Detroit,
and that he intended leaving the river ST.
Mary'son Wednesday last. The mounted
volunteers had determined to accompany
him, which will make his present force a.
bout 5000. He expects to be met at the
Rapids of the Miami by the troops from
Pennsylvania, who are to take on the neces-
sary cannon, &c.
Maj. Kinkead, who arrived here from
Urbana on Tuesday last, informs, thar JUST
before he left there the gov. had received
by express, a letter from Gen. john Kelso
dated head quarters, Erie, Pa. to Gen.
Wadsworth, which states that on the 10th
ult. about 1000 Indians, 100 British regu-
lars aud 2o5 militia, with two pieces of
cannon, had left Maiden, for the purpose
of taking fort Wayne. The letter further
adds, that not a single piece of artillery,
and only eighty of the enemy are left at De-
troit, and not more than a sufficient guard
at Maiden. The above letter was immc-
diately transmitted by the governor to Gen.
Harrison.
