Indian negotiations

a letter has been shewn to the edi-
torof the Argus, written by an intelli-
gent gentleman who left Detroit about
the :,t of September, from which we
learn, that on account of the tardiness of
several OF the tribes living at distance.
aud the means employed at Maiden to
tletaih the Indians at that post, the coun-
Gil did not meet till the S0th OF August.
when those at Maiden came over, with
the ShaWanese prophet at their head, and
The council fire was opened in ancient
form. Gea. Harrison explained the friend
y disposition of our government to them,
proposed to barry the Ratchet, which had
been raised by mischieyious men, and
which had produced such serious caIami-
ties. The Indians replied that they re-
joiccd that the Great Spirit bad afforded
an opportunity to meet to bury the hatch
ct anil to renew the friendship which had
been interrupted by the war. They &C
knowledged that they had been led es-
tray by bad advice that they had SUI
tered great misery, not only by war
but by sickness among their women and
children, and that they implore the pi-
ty of the, seventeen fires, etc. Every
thing Indicates pacific result to the ne
gociation and no doubt but every OBJ
ject of the meeting will be attained.

The Storm, which commenced yester-
day morning, continued with increasing
yic!eGcc unfit 10 o'clock this day. At
this hour, the wind shifted from tie N.
Z. around to S. w. when its force
was soon diminished. The flood tide.
although two or three hours before high
water. had already overflowed many OF
the docks, and threatened incalcGla-
Die injury. On the shifting Of the wild
the water gradually retired, and the
damage sustained is comparatively tri-
ding. TIE wharves, however, are III
some places injured, and quantity OF
plaster. boards &c. washed off, and The
devastation among the trees through eve
ry part at tie city, is greater than we
have witnessed for 10 or 12 years.

moorings, and is 6lied with water.
The Ship st. Petessbuigh. at Rectors

quarter boards, tai!i!i.;l, etc. carried a
way by the ship Re!Iona.
The steam buat Richmond, capt. Bar

coming about, a heavy flaw struck her
and she became altogether unmaaageabie.
Insthis SITUATION she driftedsdown the bay
and by running foul Of the schooner
Janet. at anchor off the castle, carried
away the starboard wheel. After she
left the schooner she drifted towards
Redhook, GA Long Island and when
near the shore came to anchor, where
she remained until 9 O'Clock when she
cot under way and came up through the
eastern channel to the city. There
were about one hundred passengers,
most Of whom particularly the iaales)
were extremely alarmed at their Perllous
situation.
The schooner Janet lost cable aud
anchor, but MAS not otherwise injur-
ed. >
Two briggs were driven ashore below
the Quarantine ground. One OF them, we
understand is the Hope, Mitchell, from
Gaudaloune.
The schconer Thorn, capt. Dishrougl
from Porto Rico with sugar, coffee. and
hides is ashore at the Quarantine
and has bilged. The people on shore );
we understand are attempting to save

Considering the violence of the gale,
we are agreeably surprised TO End that
so little damage has been sustained a
