The party of Western Chiefs, under the conduct ef Major Garland, Garland consisting oi i,iack Hawk, the Prophet Napope, the Pro Phet's adopted son, and brother, and Black fiawlx's son arrived at this place on Friday 1 ot last week, aud remained until Sunday morning when they took passage ia a steamboat for Detroit. On Saturday morn llaass laas e,icy rode over to Hack Rock for the purpose of looking at the union of the erand Canal with the Lake at that place. and also to have fair view of the Canada shore. Black Hawk immediately pointed cut Fort Erie, and appeared to be familiar with the country around. He was there during the war in the British camp. at the tune when, as he expressed himself, the
 1a5siofieaiis walked III the fort in the af. #felnoon the party visited the Seneca Indians, who had collected ct the Council House on the Reservation ,o recsssu .;.s.,.. uhes were addressed by Captain Pollard, an old and very respectable Chief of the Seneca Nation, who, after expressing the pleasure which 1t gave them to meet the Chiefs of the Sacs, and after alluding to the present state of the Aboligines, counselIed their brothers to return home with peaceable mind, to cultivate their land, and no more to fight a. gainst so powerful people as the Whites. To this both the Prophet and Black Hawk replied. The former said, "We have heard your talk, t is full Of truth and good advice -l have said much on the subject to our Great Father--we shall go home in peace, and we wish that all of the tribes were col lected on the fine lands west of the EIisss- sippi. ] will not make you long talk VIC only cahle over to see how our brothers the Senecas lived, and we are glad to see you.o Black Hawk said, ss0ur aged bro- ther of the Senecas, who has spoken to us has spoken the words of good aud wise man. We are strangers to each other, though we have the same color, and the same Great Spirit made us all, and gave us tliis country together. Brothers, we have seen how great people the whites are.- l They are very rich and are very strong.-- It is folly for us to fight with them. We shall go home with much knowledge that we have got on our journey. For myselfs shall advise my people to be quiet and live l like good men. The advice which you gave us brother Is very good, and we tell you now that we mean to walk the straight path for tho future, and to content ourselves with what we have, and with cultivating our lands.n
 The Chiefs of the Black Hawk party
 behaved themselves with much decorum
 and propriety. They were visited by most .ss our eitizens, and every opport,,niiy WAS furnished by Major Garland to gratify the
 curiosity of all who came.
 They will proceed over land from Detroit to Chicago, where a military escort will re- cive them, and convey them thence to the
 Mississippi.
 1 A large party of the Onedia Indians, un- der the charge of the agent, Mir. Savage, left this port on Wednesday last for Green 1 Bay, in the schooner Globe. They num- bered in all, men, women and children, 145-were well provided with every thing necessary to render them comfortable in their habitations, and seemed happy in the prospect before them.
