British had sent large white wampurn
belt to the Indians at the Vermillion. with
an invitation to the several tribes on the
Wabash, to send Chief from each to
Maiden. He sid that he supposed the
object OF the English in soliciting this visit
was to inform item that peace had been
made between the United States and
Great Britain; but, declared that thev
were determined faithfully to perform the
engagement they had entered into with me
at this place. Little Eyes however, infor.
med Broyillet that Riciardville at the ine
stance OF the British, hadinvited Labosome,
Stone Eater &c. with their young warri-
ors, to repair to Maiden without DELAY
that they were informed by the British
through Richardyille, that peace had not
been made bet1ceen the Uuited States and
Great Britain that the poverty of the In
dams was owing to the frauds practised
upon them by the Americans in respect to
their lands-and that the whole country Of

give you the above as | have received il
and have no doubt of its truth.
With what particular view the British
agents have circulated these falsehoods,
and invited the Indians, even in our neiqh-
bourhood, to go to Maiden, must, for the
present, be matter of conjecture -
but knowledge of their conduct immedi.
ately after the peace of 1888, and during
the Indian war, terminated by the treaty
of Greenville, furnishes strong ground for
strong suspicious as to their motions at this
time.
Probably, the famous project of Tecum-
sch with respect TO the purchases of Indi-
an Lands, is to be revived, and possibly
the frontiers of the territories are through
their Vaccinations to be harrassed by an
Indian war for several years. We may
get along with the small tribes of the Wa
bash-but if recent advices from the Missis-
sIppII are correct, a general peace will not
be obtained until the savages are seyerly
chastised.
