We have understood that one thousand Creek lndiaa
haze lately consented 10 enter the service {" Iie u. "
for ~ months il repaired long. and proceed forthwith
~ Florida.
By the assistance or these Indians it is thought the
Seminnlvs will be reduced 10 submission l'ch Garner
than h.y otherwise would be. Capt j. r. Lane al pre-
sent Aid 10 Gen Irsup is 10 accompany The Greeks 10
Florida as eir commander and will De promoted TO the
Office OF Co!nurt.
Notwithstanding the assistance which We admit The
country may derive from lie employment OF s"ch a
force upon sach an expedition, and IN pursuit "i sIc
foe sill there is somch;ny objectionable in their enlist
men.. We have three obi cli'ns 10 H. frsi' II I'M
prs that the country is incapable Of subduing the con-
cnpiibe tribe in Florida by the force CT It's own cii4ens
alone and is therefore compelled Ia call for help from
the savagrs Secondly it is not good policy TO ll Tic
Indians know that they considered better soldiers
than the bites in any sort Of an expedition whatever
Th;.dly. it is not morally right that this great country
should set Indian tribe against another III tcr"!"a'
