SUBSTANCE.
Gen. Harrison informed these chiefs &
warriors, that one of the primary objects
in calling chem here at this moment, was
| q rem Wal Of tn IL former peace s friend
| ship towards each other.--Other nations,
however, being absent. but very soon ex-
--=cted, 1t would be necessary To adjourn for
| their arrival. In the mean tims, h. re
| quested the CHI, is present to invite their
| brethren, who were now at Maiden, to at
| tend at the Spring Wells, (three miles be-
| low this town) on the 25th inst to kintlle
| the council fire.
On the 25th, the commissioners met a.
| greeably - adjournment.
The messenger sent TO Maiden, returned

| liVered to their brethren, then in council
| with the British CommandaRt, who answer
ed Tor them, saying " that his great father,

not think Of letting the chiefs then present,
attend at the American fire kindled at the
| Spring Wells, until his council was over.
| 1t the young men, said h., wish 10 go there,
| they might, he had no objections but the
old men and chiefs, (tne prophet beng d

The chiefs. &c. at the Spring Wells,
| depressed their satisfaction this day at
a renewal OF peace and friendship between
| them and the United States and said that
they were naked and very hungry and
| hoped that their fathers, the Commissioners,
would give them plenty of every thing, par,
| ticularly bread, meat and 7VhiSkcy."
| The nations absent on the 22d instant,
have not yet arrived.
| Council adjourned to meet 81 the 18Th
| instant.
From Hnother PHtsburg Pafer-Sanle
date
| PtfS6urg, Sehfem6er 9-Our intelligence
| from Detroit is up to the 9th ult. On the
| preceding day, the Council with the In.
| dians commenced--not more than 200 at
tended After the views of the United
States government were explained to
them, one Of the Chiefs delivered IN an-
swcr, in which he stated, that their great
father the king, had k,nGled fire on the
other side of the river, and they must first
attend that and hear what he had to say:
the council then broke up, and the CON
missioners were celebrating on what course
1t was proper TO pursue. The British have
reinforced the garrison at Maiden, and are
putting that place in state of defence.
Various reasons have been assigned fer the
extraordinary course pursued by the lndi-
anS--so contrary to what was sometime
since anticipated There can b. very little
doubt however, but they have been GO
verned by the British agents--who have at
several of their councils stated to them,
that General Brown had arrived with q
strong military force, for the purpose OF
compelling them to agree TO such terms as
the American commissioners might dictate,
commence hostiities against them. 1t is.
perhaps, well for tie inhabitants of the
frontier. that this force has been placed in
the neghborhood of Detroit Ii will over
awe the savages. and prevent them from
committing hostiitles and whilst they are
offering peace, they shew that we are fully
competent to embrace the alternative, 9. If
compelled, to adopt it--that we are able cot
only tochastise them INTO present submissi ,r,
but to make lasting Impression on their
fears. We wait anxicusly to hear what
course the commissioners will atopt--if %
treaty can be entered into--an HldiqH 7yay
