down to the nation, which was his inten'

eighty dollars, by capt. W. barrel OF SUI
gar, bag of coffee, and a small keg OF nun,
and the interpreter Thugart informed ire,
that, when Hilisajo asked for an account,
Capt. w. refused It, saying, ii would be
useless to man who could not reaS. He
also misses two cases, one Of which, he
thinks, contains crockey. Il have made

some manner you treated him 10 England,
and be begs his prayer may be laid at The
foot Of his Royal Highness the Prince Re-
gent. I left him and all his family well on
the 9o.h June. Old Cappachimicco de-
sires me to send his best respects, and re-
quests that you will send out some people
to live among them, and all the land they
took from Forbes shall be theirs. AT all e.
vents they must have an agent among them,
to see that the Americans adhere to the
treaty, and permit them to live unnolest-
ed on their own lands. This agent should
be authorised by his majesty's govern.
ment, or he will not be attended to by the
Americans. In the Gazettes Of Georgia,
the Americans report the Seminole Indians
are continually committing murders on
their borders, and making incursions into
the state. These are fabrications tending

was in the nation, there was only one Ame-
rican killed, and he, with two others, were
in the act of driving of cattle belonging TO
Boleg, chief of Suwahy, whereas three
men and boy were killed last June, by a
party of American cattle stealers, while
in their hunting camps. The boy they
scalped, and one of Boleg's head men
was killed in St. Johns River, in July
The lakewood Georgians, and those resi-

cattle. They have in some'instances made
settlements, and particularly on the Choc:

BY the treaty with Great Britain, the A.
meIicans were 10 give up to the Indians
all the lands that may have been taken
from them during the war, and place them
ON the same footing they were in 1911. II
appears they have not done so, that fort
Gaines, on the Chatahoochy, and Camp
! Crawford, on the Flint River, are both on
Indian Territory that was not in possession
of America in 1911. They are fearful
that. before any aid is given by the En-:

in possession Of any territory.
Iwrote last January 10 his excellehcy the
hon. Charles Bagot, respecting the en-

formed by the copy Of letter from the
right honorable earl Bathurst, handed Inc
by his excellency governor Cameron, that
