Commissioners and is herewith submitted.
The whole of the business having been
concluded, the council adjourned at ten
O'Clock P. NJ, of the 18th instant, after the
most cordial expressions of friendship and

tiers in confused and alarmed condition,
many of them having abandoned their
homes and others preparing to leave
the country, and would, therefore, re.

taken in the premises by your honorable
body as to you may seem best to carry out
the provisions of the treaty entered into by
them with the Indians.

Treaty with the Executive of the State, and to
accompany this Report with copy only.
