Private letters from some of our friends

some little jdrring between the parties in
Europe-the contributions levied upon the

The commissioners appointed to trent with
the Indians have been for some time past
engaged in a negotiation at this place with
rhe Ottawas, Chppewas and Pattowatto-
mics, relative to their claim to a part Of the
lands heretofore coded to the United States,
by the Sakles and Foxes, and we are Happy
to learn tn 1t the dispute which has hitherto
threatened such s"rlous consequences to this
and the adjoining territory is Likely to be
adjusted to the entire satisfaction of all par
ties. No treaty is yet actually signed, but
the terms are agreed upon, and no doubt
the business will be settled 10 a day or
two.
