WORTHINGTON, (Ohio,) June %.
General Harrison, we arc informed, has
held council with the Indian Chiefs, who
were in Franklin,on, to whom he made the
three following propositions To take up
arms in behalf Of the United States /; To re-
move within our settlements and remain neu-
tral Or to SO TO the enemy and seek his pro-
lection, and be debsrrcd from ever amicably
returning to the territories they now inhabit.
After short consultation among themselves,
it was agreed that the first was the one of
their choice, and they have determined to
prepare themselves, and offer their services,
which General Harrison agreed to accept.
They have gone to their homes.
