NASHVIIXE, May 3. THE CREEK lF$R AT AN END. With pleafurc we congratulate our country that t!;c once formidable confederacy of favages to the ibuth areconqucr ed, and are now fumg for mercy. The following difpatch and accompanying documents will give all the information we have on the lubjecr. To the com mi limners for making a treaty with the tribes, we have the molt ferious objections, and we are confident we exprefs the femimcnts of 19 aotht of the citizens of Tenneflee, when we fay, that col. Benjamin Hawkins ought not to have the management of this butlnefs. To the arms of TennefTee the g ineral government is pr incipally indebted for the overthrow of the lavages ; to the people of this date, the conditions of a treaty with the Creeks U all important through that confederacy we expetft to trade we want a highway, fee u red againfl danger we want the free and unmolelled navigation of t lie fouthern waters; and to duly appreciate thefe wants, an individual (hould be well acquainted with their conference. Col. Benjamin Hawkins, has, on every occafion v here he c ould, mamfetted a fpirit cf hoftihty to the interens of the citizens of this (late, very unworthy a libera! politician, fie i?, in fact, a chief of the Creek :r:be, and has acted as faithfully for the nation as any individual cf the tribe ever . ,d. He h vs deceived the government as to the intention of the Creeks, and has extenuated their horrid butcheries of our defencelefs frontier fet tiers At tha time the Creeks were pm mitt ing depredations on travellers, and preparing for avoH ed hottilities, he denied there was any overt act or pre I iration for war. lie is a man the citizens of Tenneflee have no confidence in. To pen Pinckney we have no objection, but Georgia, Tenneflee and the Miifiitippi territory, arc each Interefted in the treaty, and each, in cur opinion, fhoold liavc reprefemative. From this flat e, gen Jackfon, gen. James Kobertfon, or many other individuals would carry into the negociation, the confidence! of the people. it is reported that gen. Jackfon is expected to return to Huntfvilte the lad of this week in confequencc of which, great preparations were making :o ive him a reception fui table to the occafion, and as a maik of the greatful remembrance of the inhabitants of the eminent fervice his victories have been to that country, The firfl of October 1 a t . the general left Iris farm in this county, and has coutinu

The bufmeis rihed at the idea of a war with of the campaign will not, 1 a powerful ik warlike nation, prefutne, require that or my capable, by its naval power, troops, fhould remain here of de(fro ing '.heir commerce, much longer. Gen. Pinck-! annihilating and rendering i)2y and col. Hawkins, who is 1 defencelels their mar itime ci now wit!) me, have been ap- ties, they would require but
