Inttdr .fGairs-No satisfactory inform, alton has
been received, since last, respecting the ,enner
and disposition of the neghboring Indians. Those
who have been heretofore friendly, are averse to
parting with the lan1s coded by Jackson's treaty
but, it is believed they have suffered too much from
the late war, to put at hazard their present traA
qnility, by provoking rupture with the q. STATES.
IL is most likely they will stand aloo and neither
aid nor oppose the running OF the line, which has
been recommended by the Commissioners, Colonel
Hawkins having so far recovered his health that he
can attend TO business. No forcibe opposition has
vet been made by the Indians, and as the renegade
British fort On the Appalachieols, has been recent
iy sroken M by the Spsnarr,s, who are said tn bs
endeavoring to de away the hostile spirit which h,l
been 'nti,sed into these savases By our late enemy
there will probably be none. In any event, we do
aot think much dspger is tn be apprehended The
troops astendine the mrssioners are in high so;
rits, and sufficiently numcrou, to chastse any force
with which tits likely they will have to contend.
