The Greek Indians.

General Gaines has reported to Govenor
Troup, officially, the result of his interview
with the Greeks hostile to M'lntosh. "Ihc
M'Intosh party demanded retaliation for
their fallen chiefs. with the immediate res
toration of property taken or destroyed.
Their demands were founded on the 9Th ar
ticle of the treaty of February last-which
promises on our part, protection to the
cmigrating party" against the whites and
all others; which party they (the followers
exclusively to be-
The party opposed to M'Intosh have en-
gagged to restore all property taken, and TO
pay for all that has been destroyed contrary
to law-and they have promised to allow
a reasonable time to those who have
borrowed and run off with money out of
their national treasury, TO reimburse the
same.
The Wilmingtonian, and Delaware register., 1825-08-04

This party General Gaines declares en-
braces forty-nine hfteths of the Greek ma
tion, all of whom strongly and unanimously
objected TO the late treaty, as the offspring
of Fraud entered into contrary to the known
law and will of the nation-and by persons
not authorised to treat.-They refused to
receive any part of the consideration mo-
ney due under the treaty, or to give any
other evidence Of their acquiesence in it.
With regard to the survey of the land, the
turning point of hostility, General Gaines
writes thus:
"The certificate. of which enclose here
with copy, marked A, added to the decla-
rations of the chiefs in council, of whom Jo-
seph Marshall was the principal, and in
trepreter, proves that your Excellency has
been greatly deceived, in supposing that
the NJ Intosh party ever consented to the
survey of the ceded Territory being COM
| menccd before the time set forth in the trea-
ty for their removal. This fact giving alto
gether a new aspect to the subject of the pro-
posed survey of the land, added to a strong
conviction on my mind, that the attempt to
| make the surveys would be 4 positive viola
| ton of the Treaty-and will, under existing
causes of excitement, be certain to produce
acts of violence upon the persons or proper
ty of unoffending Indians, whom we are
bound to protect, it becomes my duty to re-
monstrate against the surveys being com
menced until the Indians shall have remov-
ed agreeably to the Treaty. cannot doubt
that the facts disclosedby the accompanying
certificate, with the concurrent testimony OF
the Chiefs in Council, will induce your Ex-
cellency, without hesitation, to abandon the
project of surveying the land, Ecfore the
month of September, 1896.
''This will be particularly gratifying tt
me, as it will relieve me of the painful duty
of acting, not in concert avHh the venerateC
authorities Of an enlightened and patriot,
: member of the United States--to whom
stan, pledged by every principle of honour
and Under the soemnity Of an oath to serve
them honestly and faithfully"
So little danger does the General appre
: hend from any offensive measures OH thu

tice that there will be no occasion for call
ing into service any part Of the militia o

greed to pay 150,0o0,000 francs, or 60 francs

The sum of S2S, 200, 900 (allowing francs

to be paid for recognition of indepen-
dence, after that independence had been OBJ
tanned by conquest and enjoyed for nearly
25 years. Some think that the govern

that the saving of the expense of armies and

The Court met at 10 o'clock, Capt Biddle
being still absent from indispSsition.
Commodore Porter exhibited variety of
documents, and references to others to be
supplied, which were read by the Judge Ad
vocate, and annexed to the record.
The documents consisted of letters and
extracts Of letters which passed between
the Navy Department and Commodore Por-
ter, in the year 1928 and 1924; and one of
the main objects of their production appea ed
to be to establish the fact th;.t he had inti
mated to the Department his entention to re-
turn to Washington, and had received, in
reply, pei mission to return at any time
which would be least inconvenent to the
service, and most agreeable to his own incli-
nation. The anonymous note, ALSO which
appeared in the National Journal, of June IA,
and which was admitted to have been writ
ten by Richard Cox, Esq. WAS put i'll by
Commodore Porter, and annexed to the re-
cord. Some Of the other documents which
he submitted having been read iii the course
of the previous proceeding, the reading of
them was at this time dispensed with. A
mongst the papers referred to, were the
messages of the late President OF the United
States to Congress, at the commencement
of the lst and 2d. sessions of the Seventeenth
Congress, and the list. of the Eighteenth
Congress.
Commodore Porter having nothing further
to present to the Court, and having intmat-

On Monday night last, our borough and
the surrounding country were visited by a CO.
pious and refreshing shower of rain from the
southwest, Yhich lasted above an hour; since
which the air has been cool and reviving.
The excessive heat and dry weather, which
has for several weeks past been experience
ed here, had nearly destroyed the pros
poets of the pending crops. The corn has cv-
identity suffered much from the hot sun and
want of rain; its appearance is such as to in
duce US to believe the crop will be short,
Notwithstanding the season may now be
more favouraOlc-potatocs, which at this
season of the year should be large and we'll
grown, are small ana scarce-less hardy
vegetables, such as squashes, beets, cucum-
bers, &c, are quite Indifferent; as is the case
with almost all other vegetables. Butter
is scarce, and commands high price; from
90 to 81 cents per pound. The late rain ha.
already altered the appearance Of the coun
try; the pale, sickly complexion, which was
presented in the face Of declining nature, ha
been washed away, and every thing now
present scene Of luXuriancc, health, ane
animation.

There is rumour whispered abroad, but
we know not upon what authority, that Com
modorc Porter, whether condemned or ac
Quilted by the Court Martial which has
been investigating his late conduct, intends
leaving this country to engage in the service
Of foreign government. The cause which
has induced the gallant Commodore to form
this resolution is not fully known, but is sup
posed to have arisen out OF some proceedings
of the Court Martial while sitting on his
case. Whether this is correct or not, we
will not pretend to say, but i'll few days
the whole affair will come before the public,
when we shall be better able to decide.
