afhs Americans live in towns, where
many thousand people busy themselves
within a small space of ground, bgt the
Seminole is of wild and scattered race,
In swims the streams and leaps ever the

and is like the tyhooping Crane that
makes its nest at night, far from the spot
where it dashed the dew from the grass
and flower in the morning" In another
passage, speaking Of their ancient and
prescriptive right to the soil, they say:
Gan hundred summers have seen the
Seminole warrior reposing undisturbed
under the shade ofhis live oak, and the
suns of an hundred winters, have risen on
his ardent pursuit of the Buck and the
Bear, with none to question his bounds,

Your excellency's letter Of yesterday, in
my possession, contains the basis on which
the Capitulation Of the troops under my
charge is to be established, and all the chiefs
of the corps have agreed, that it is an indis-
pensable requisite for The admission or mo.
d6cation Of its articles, to consult the will
Of The officers and soldiers. The troops be-
ing posted on different points, prevents the
transaction Of this affair with that celebrity
that your ExcelIency requires, and that
wish; but your Excellency will excuse my
delay by receiving commune ations from
your Aid de Camp. Don Diego Ybarra, who
remains here until he returns with our deci-
