the following very brief and general notice OF the
EXecutf OF Arhuthnot and Ambiister-'. No re-
sistcnce was made, and the with the Semi
noie2 was soon ended. 1t was disSraccd by an
act OF cruelty towards some OF the Indians com
mitted by the Captain OF the Georgia militia and
also by certain seventies the part OF General
Jackson.
Two Englishmen, Arbutlinot and Anbri. ter
NNic t1ACl prisoners, anu put 10 DEATH They
were generally supposed TO have instigated, as
wen as aided the Indians, but their execution was
Jlsnhea ny Zen. Jackson, simply on the ground of
their being with the Indians in open war
=" The execution Of prisoners had never before
been permitted by American officers. except in the
instance OF the nassacre the day after The battle
at The Horse Shoe, under Gen. Jackson's orders in
ISl4
:. few indians, also, who were deceived into
his power by means of false colors-an cxpedent
unworthy OF an officer OF high rank and character
were hanged without trial, and in cold blood
me ftaSilshmea deserved thea, fate; but the poor
conldlng indians would have been spared if they
had thus fallen into the hands of any other Aneri-
can oiicer.''
=" The EngLishmels deserved their fatci'' but

Adams did, at the time in the most deliberate ana
solemn manner, justify Gen. Jackson's deeds to
TINS Hisuited nation, and TO the astonished world
II wouid seem that neither the friends OF Gen.
Jackson, nor those of Mr.. Adams land where is
there neutral to be foundry dare venture on a pub
nc examination and discussion OF the particulars OF
inns memorable ransaction and that all parties are
combining to give the sanction of national approba-
hon 10 the most deestable act of cruelty that dis
Sraces the annals of modern warfare
nave aiaint hoPe-yery fiint-that there are
''''o4S J"u, gentlemen, some lew persons, who
Dare 10 speak the truth on this subject; who, for
