There has been, for the last week, a Council
held between the Delawarcs, and their allies, the
Sha"anccs, kickapoos &c. on one part, ami the
OsageS, on the other. \ war has existed for
the last fourteen months, between these nations,
and many scalps taken The OSugcs, have il is
SAID, generally been the greatest sufferers in heir

what we have heard, it appears that the Osages
are willing 10 make peace, bat the Dclawarcs
finding themselves in the wrong, are ayersc 10
the propositions. \ recurrence IL the tomahayk
and scalpmE knife, seem TO be the most proba-
ble result of this attempt 10 head the wounds OF
the respective Tribes; and We believe We are no,
wrong IN suppOsug, from the enbittcrcd feelings
OF luminosity expressed towards each other. that
the contest, ii resolved on, will be a bloody and

vantage in point Of numbers is countcrbalanccd

then dexterty IN using them, and their bravery
for which latter qualities the Ossages have never
been greatly distinguished.

We were visited on the morning of the 18th

finished with Tremendous explosion like the ST.

cannon. The confusion was unexam1 led--men,
women and children suddenly leaving their beds
and running IN every directions; some with little
clothing on, many entirely naked, The most pi-

Cathedral and Offering up the hurried dcvotious

asked the aid OF their Creator for the FIRST time
in their lives. 1t was generally supposed from
the weather being SO close and sultry, thlt rep

however did not occur, and the priests have at
trbulcd this special Providence 10 the efficacy ut
their prayers. After the agitation had in some
measure subsidized, large tubs and bathing vessels
were filed with water, which being blessed by
he priests, the supelsttious part of the people
Immediately got into the consccrated element and
remainrd Tor nearly an hour up 10 their nccks in
holy water, surprising that 1t would protect them
from another shock. But few houses were
thrown down. no lives lost and the damage was
comparatively tr1ing. Numbers Of large fish
were observed jumping and playing about the
vessels in the harbour, Just before the shock.
