81. Louis, Sehtem6er %.
BY several arrivals from the Upper Mis-
sissppi and the Lake, we are informed
that Major Gratiot of the engineer corps
was progressing in building the new Fort at
Green Bay he has with him COL Cham
bers, and 8 or 4 companies. The Folsa-
voius are said to be peaceably inclined A
party Of Wnebagoes solicited Col. Cham
bers to sead off from Green Bay the biz
guns. but were told that the Pre- sidcnt of
the United States ordered them to be plac-
ed there, and they could not be removed
without his order.
Yesterday we received information from
Prairie du Chen, that the upper Country
WAS overwhelmed with British goods and
British traders, from MackiRaw. They
are the very same characters who infested
this country previous to the late war the
very same gentry who whetted the savage
tomahawk and urged the massacre of our
women and children. 1t is rumored here
that this influx of traitors is occasioned by
the Indian Agent at Mackinaw granting Ii
censes indiscriminately at so dollars each.
This measure has thrown into the country
more British traders than the government
consider expedient, or the Agents could
consistently with their instructions, permit.
BY the undue influence of ths sc fellows, the
Indians assume very consequential airs,
and are intolerably tnsolent to our citizens,
declaring that the English have told them
treth, and that the Americans always tell
them lies. On the arrival of our traders at
Prairie du CHEN, they engaged all the
Sioux interpreters, so that our traders
with large amount of goods, were at
once frustrated in their pursuits by the in
trigue OF these wrctches yet red with the
blood of our frontier citizens. Roulette &
several other notorious characters OF the a
boye mentioned tribe, are on their way to
st. Louis and Kaskaska for license to
trade with the Indians. The policy Gov.
Clark has pursued with the British ira
ders who have applied for license, is calcu>
lated to keep those poisonous ANNALS from
the Indian tribes in our nelghbourhood.-
We shall wait the decision Of Governor
Edwards on this subject.
