ready TO concede many points to effect an
honorable Peace, 1t will be recolected, that
1T the latest English dates it was generally

THE CREEK WAR NOT OvER

Col. blanchard, aid de Camp to his Excellep.
sy Governor Holmss ,f'.ie Mississippi terrific.
~ Trl->iih Nashville yesterday, and informs
US that Intelligence was received from Pensa-
cola Drought by two gentlemen Immediately
from there, that between the 11th and 18th of
May, z, 500 hostile Creek indians were at Pen.
sacoia, and received there arms, powder and
tesn, frcni the Governor, and that MQuinn was
among the number.
AS Col, Blanchard passed through the Choc-
taw nation he learnt party of that tribe had
gone against the hostile Greeks.
ihe furnishing the above mentioned Indians
WITH arms add ammunition is certainly an act
OF hostility in the governor cfPensacola--.
put his hostility is still more glaring in the fol-
lowing affair. A short time since two men de-.
serted IRON the U. 8 army (3rd regiment) but
previously to leaving the camp they contrived
e, 20 steal The public and private papers Of Col.
russell with which they proceeded to Pensaco-
IA, ana there delivered them to the governor
Col. hussel, when informed where his papers
were sent an officer to the governor requesting
the restitution OF them, who promptly refused
10 return them to the Col. In time of actual
hostiiity We have understood that the officers
OF adverse avmies always pay some respect to
the papers OF each other that fall into their
nands-thcy are held sacred--We have often
satd 1t, and still repeat the remark, there is as
much friendship in the Greeks as in the Spani-
ards who are under British influence. The In
aians now at Pensacola are probably MQuinn's
party and the Siminolcs-thcy cannot be any OF
those frem the upper towns, we imagine. The
following letter from gentleman of respecta-
piiity confirms the disposition of the Spaniards.
