The Richmond Eramirer, Of he 9th ult, asserts
taat dispatches from Commissioners Pike, in the
Indian territories, indicate the happy prosecution
of the negotiations of the government with the
different tribes. The Commissioner was to be at
Font Ouachita about a week ago, to attend the
council Of the Chiekasaws. The messenger from
John Ross had arrived, and Commissioner Pike
had appointed the 25th of September to meet the
Cherokees, at T~ahlgansh, to make a treaty with that
tribe. After a Treaty is made with the Cherokees,
Commissioner Pike expects to make treaties with
the Senecas, the mixed band of Shawness and
Senecas, Delswares and Osages. So far, the
negotiations with all the tribes have been most
snceassfll.
