The captain of the Defiance appeared to demand his
seamen, and did in discoureous and offensive terms
His claim being refused, he returned, accompanied by
several other captains, his countymen, and in actual
tumult wished to compel Commandant Naviategu to de-
liver up the seamen. The Commandant says that he
three times used verbal instructions and courteous

outrage which they committed against his authority.
These proving Intellectual he ordered the troops in
his vessel to be prepared and employ force repel

lowing in relation to the recent disturbances in the

"Some weeks ago the full blood Cherokee Indians, out
Of feudal luminosity, killed two of the Adar family fla

forerunner Of instruction in the Cherokee nation

troops should be here to keep the natives in

these people They have their way of doing things

alone When they need interference in their affairs
they II ask for it."

number seventy seventy ye and since that event
have made attempts to commit violence and say that
they are ready to submit trial by the laws Of their
country. Little excitement the subject prevails
