CHILLICoTHE, July 5.
We understand that the President has ap-
pointed Governor CAss, of the Michigan Ter
ritory, and General MARTHuR, of this neiwll-
borhood, commissioners to hold treaty with
those tribes of indians who claim lands within
the boundary of this state for the purpose of
procuring REIMBURSEMENT Of their claims
HE terms which these gentlemen are autho-
rized TO offer, are liberal. Ii it be found i'm.
practicable to obtain cession of all the lands
TO which the Indian title is yet unextinguisled,
the commissioners are directed to endeayor to
obtain cession of the whole or part of that
tract OF country which lies north and east OF n
line to be run directly from Fort Meigs or
some point higher up the Miami. to the pre-
sent boundary line at the point where the road
from Norton to Upper SanduSky intersects the
same, or to the point where the present boun-
Diary line crosses the Scioto river
lhe object of government in purchasing the
above lands, is, to facilitate the Intercourse be-
tween this state and the Michigan Territory
to give further security to our northern from.
tier by promoting its speedy settlement aud
TO offer AN additional incentive TO industry
and enterprise by laying before the public Il
large tract NJ the finest land in the world Which
requires nothing but cultivation TO zurich its
proprietcrs.
Generals MiRTHUR and CAss intend meet
ing the indians at Fort Mcgs as soon as prac.
t!cable, in order to open tile negotiation
whether they will be able to effect the object
OF their mission, Is perhaps douhttul; but as
the present welfare and future security of the
Stale Is intimately connected with their sue
cess, we hope that the terms which they are
authorised 10 offer tile Indians will be readily
accepted.-GS. Gaz.
