THE WESTERN SUN. VINCENNES, August 25, 1810.

Sha!! !)c held at JetTerfon ille in the Indiana Territory, on the third Monday in November, one thousand eight hundred and ten. Given under my hand the fevcnth day of July, one thoufand ehjht hundred and ten. (Signed) JAMES MADISON.

1 he ivdiior has taken fome pins to inform himfelf of the fublUnce of what has pifiVd at the Councils which have been lattly holden by Governor Harrifon, with the Indians now in town. Trcuriifeh, tHe brother of the celebrated Prophet, arrived on the 1 2th inftant, atrompnird by about 75 warriors. He came in conlVqumce of a meffjge which was lately fent by the Governor to the Prophet, by nir. B irron in which the Govrrnor attempted to fhrw him the folly of making war upon the U. States that he wis ready to lifte to any grievances of which he had to complain and particularly, tlv.it if he could fliow that any other tribe, than thofe who were parties to the late treaties, had any juft claim to the lands ceedrd by thofe treaties, that they would be immediately gien up. Tecumfeh occupied the greater part of feveral days in exhibiting his complaints againft the United Stntcs. But on Monday laft he recapitulated and cxaffCrratccl a injeries which the Ijjdians hd received from the whites, partiruLrly the murder of the Moravian Indians in thcourfe of the revolutionary war that of the Delaware chief Cornftnck, &cc. ttc. wnd he declared, he did not know how he could ever be friends with them again. With refpetV to the lands, he afTerted, thu thr Great Spirit had given them as common property to all the Indians, and that they could not, nor fiiould not be fold without the confent of all. That all the tribts ot Indians upon the continent, formed hut one nation that if the government wwulJ not give up the lands that were purthalVd from the Miamies, Drlawares, Putavatamies Sec. that thofe who were united with dim, were determined to fall upon thofe tiibes and deftroy them. That they were determined to have no more chiefs, hut in future to ha ve every thin under the direction of thr warr'ors. In fhoit, his whole tp-ech ws full of hoftility from beginning to end and we hrlirve tint the molt mrrrduloui of thole who have heretofore irit(rd to at tach any credit to the information wr have heretofore received of the hofHIc deiius of this confederacy, and who were pr-lent at the delivery of this fpeech, are fully convinced of their error. The Govrrnor in his aufwrr, contraftrd the comiuc of thr United Stairs toward thrir Indian neigh bors, with the other civilizrd powers, and W4S proceeding to (how the juluce with which the molt infisM;iSc-nt tiines wrrr treated by tl m. What he f-id Ind been interpreted in the Sliwanor lauuagr, anil mr. Barron was about to explain it to thr Putaw atamies and Mintics, fhen'lutn frh fprati upon his fret, with a number .f l-.ii warriors, annnl with war club, torn hiwks, Sec. Hopprd the interprrtrr, and drthrrd ill: what thr Govrrnor dd fi(! wilWir. G-n. Gibfon, who uudrrP.ards the SI awanoe Uiujuae, and appreheo(irip that fome violence was intended, rrqurflrd l.-u:-r M,t Jennings to m kr a tU3rd nf 12 in-n. which wai at fmc little diHanc e Hand totn-ir arms. As lean as the U-rd was brought up. an i thr Shawanoe fprcch interpretri to Gavrrnnr, he infrt,.rd Terumfrh, thit he -yld hniJ no further con. ferriice wi;h him U broke up the council. On t!e foccerdinr morning the Shiwir.oe, canufiiy rcucilci ar.a:i.:r intcfficw

with the Governor, and upon Ms rrnkinj an apology for his ondud the d y hrt -rr, through the interpreter, his recjtKll w.ij complird with. Nleafures were howtver taken, to prevent any ill fif els from dis infolenre. he fliould have a icriyofdia lollowrrs frcreted in the neighuoiln od, rea dy to j iinth. fr who were with him, two companies of militia was ordered in from the country, and captain Jones's cotnpary of this town, ord-rrd to parade morning and evening, and to krrp themf-lves rrady for aciion the -Governor, and fteral of his frirnds, alio attended the council vrli armed. Tecumfeh's conducl, w.s, upon this oicafion, however, veiy difT-nnt from wht it had been at any previous meeting though fit ni and intrepid, he faid nothing that was in the lead infolent. He had previoufly told the interpreter tht he hacTbeeu iuf..rmed by white men, tlut the people here wrre equally divided half in favor of his pretriifious, and the other half adhering to thr Governor, and he now repented it in council. He faid, that M two Anvruanj' hd p . id him a fecret vifit, onr in thr courfe ot Kft winter, and one other lately, and had informed thin that Governor Karri ton had put chafed the lanus without the conlet ot thr government, a: d that orir half ot the people were alfo opp fd to the rurfhdf ttut th.e Govrrnor h:.d only two years Vnore to renuin in ctTn r, nd if he (the Sh rtW-inor) could prevail upon the Indians who fold the land?, not to rereivetheir annuities for that time, ihut thrn the Governor would be difplaced, and a good man -tppointrd in his room, who uruldr' (tore to the Indians Ml the lands which had been purchafrd of thrm." After Trcum frh had finilhed his fpeech, a Wyandot, a Kickapoo, n Putawatimir. an Ottowy, and a Winebago, fevrally fpokr, nd chrlarrd that their tribes hid enteicd into the SImw anoe confederacy, and would lupport the principles laid "down by Tecumfeh, who they had appointed thrir leader. At the com lufion of the council the Go vrrnor informed Tecumfth that he would immedutely, tr-nfmit his fpeeches to the Prefident, and asfoon as his anfwer arrived he would f?nd it to him, but as a prrfoa had been appointed to run the boundary line, he wilhed to know whether there would he any danger in his proceeding. He anfwrred, that they (his patty) were determined that the old bound try line, fliould continue, and that thr eroding it would Le attended with bad conf quri ces. The Governor replied, -that lime he had been can. did moirgli to avow this, he would be e qudly to with him tin- Pefidrnt hr was convinced would never allow that the lands on the Wabafli were the prcper y of any other tribes than tht fr which had occupied and lived upon them liner the white prople firlt came in America, and as the thlr to the lards litely putchifed wrrr driivrd from thofe tribes by tYir pure 1m fr he miRht reft -flurrd that thr ridt of the U. Stattg would befupportrd with t fr fworrl. We hive always hern of rp:nion that the confederacy which has been formed by the Prophet, was the T-51 ot Bntifli intrigue Hid we h..ve never doubted that the fetret agents of that piwrr, which are known to exdl in every part of America, hut parti ul rly in the Indian country, gave it all the countenance in their pwer But ve could ftarcely prevail upon ourfelves to think that any American was enaed iti this nefarious project we frar, howevrr, tliat it is hut too true, U if the fprn fi which we underflrd was made dy the chief of thr W'-j trior, to c-ptains Flryd and Whitlock.of thr United Statrs troop? he correct, we frr that there is fome drrp laid f. heme of villmy on foot to alieiuts from us that hitherto fit!.ful trihr.
