Creek nat This treaty is only signed by two chiefs, Mc Intoshand Tustunnuggec the other signers not being chiefs nor head men. By the treaty, all the Creek lands in Georgia, are ceded. All the other Indian chiefs protest against the treaty, declaring it fraudulent and void. Mcintosh and Tuslunnuggce are publicly shot, by order of the Creek nation in council, for violating the law against selling land. Special session of the Georgia legislature. Govr. Troup's message violent in the extreme ; he endeavors to excite resistance to the national government, and to inflame the passions of the southern against the northern states, by
the grossest misrepresentations ; & concludes by entreating his people 11 to stand So their arms. " The legislature pass an act, authorizing a survey of the Indian lands, whenever the governor think proper Proclamation by govr. Troup, publishing h'u determination to have the lands surveyed immediately. Govr. Troup prefers charges, to the president, against col. Crowell, the Indian agent, for procuring the death ol Mcintosh and the other chief, and for causing all the opposition and hostility of the Creeks. The president appoints maj. Andrews, as a special agent, to repair to the Creek agency, and enquire into the conduct of col Crowell ; and at the same time, specially directs maj gen. Gains, then in Georgia, to secure the tranquility of that section of the Union Maj. Andrews, after his arrival, by his independent course, incurred the displeasure of govr. Troup, who, without ceremony ordered Mr dndrt-ws to have no intercourse with him wha'ever 13 v
letter, 10th July, gen trains informs gov. Troup that upon enquiry into the facts, he fi the party opposed to the treaty, to be in reality, the Crrek nation represented by forty -nine fiftieths of all the chiefs, head men & warriors ; that in the council, they regretted the necessity that caused the execution of Mc intosh and others, who had forfeited their lives, bv violating the law; that they objected strongly and unanimously to the treaty as the offspring of fraud, entered into by unauthoiized persons, against the known lawSc dcc mine d will ot the nation General Gams further informs the gov. that a sur-

Vnl.ition of the treaty, which secures the
Ind an against encroachments, until Sep
tember 1826 ; and that the president con
aiders it necessary that he should abstain from such survey, till the time prrscibcd for the I dians removal. Gov. Troup answers, he shall proceed in due time, to make the survey, disregarding any obstacles Jrom any quarter ; that the legislature have declared it should be done. l It is for you to biing it to the isue ; it is for me to repeat, that cos? what i will the survey shall be effected " He publishes letters of Mc Intosh, who says, he gives consent, in the name of the nation, that the surveys be made. On 25th June, gen Gains held a council, ai B'oken Arrow, with the chiefs of the Ctek nation. In his letter to the gov. he says, the council promise peace with the followers of Mcintosh they protest against the treaty they refuse to receive any part of the consideration money but they have, in the strongest terms deliberately declared, that they will not raise an arm against the U. States, even should an armv come to take from them the whole of their country that they will make no soit of resistance, but will sit down quietly and be put to death, where the bones of their ancestors are deposited t hat the woild shall know the Muscogee nation, so loved their count! y, that the w ere willing to die in it, rather than sell i' or leave it." Gen G iins refers to the ecvtificaic of the men who carried to Mc Intosh the request of govr. Troup to consent to the survey they state that Mr Intosh refused, hut said he would lav it before the nation ; which he never did. The general
says, he does not think that prmi-sin for the survey was ever given, t aiy r..ur.cil of Mc Intoshs' party at anv iat: that

have no further ecrtimunieatisn with the government of Georgia. July 21, Mr. Barber, secretary at war, wiites to govr.
Troup; that the Indians, to the number of !
eighteen hundred ninety including a large majority of their chiefs, have denounced the treaty as fraudulent void ; that their allegations present a question, beyond the cognizance of the executive, but which necessarily refers" itself to congress. Meanwhile, the president, acting on the treaty as if it was not impeached, considers the faith of the U. States pledged by it, to protect the Creek Indians from encroachment 'till their removal in 1826 ;
and therefore that he will not permit a survey of the lands, at this time, to be made -The scc'ty. at war informs maj. gen Gains, that under all the circumstances, the president considers it improper, that gov. Troup should have the Indian lands surveyed at present ; that should he make the attempt, the gcnl. is authorized to employ the military to prevent it. The foregoing is a concise history of the very important controversy, now existing between the government of the Union and that of Georgia. The case is a plain one. If the treaty be fraudulent & void, that at once puts to rest the claims of Georgia If it be fair and obligatory, Georgia has no right of entry, previously to September next ; until that time, the quiet possession of the lands, is guarantied to the Creek nation, by the treaty itself. The whole subject will be presented by the president to the consideration of congress, at their next session In the mean time, should the govt of Georgia, persist in his mad career, S: attempt the survey, a civil war is the consequence. The commanding general, now upon the ground, has orders from the president to appeal to the sword. clauekci:. Vincennes, Sept. 17, 1825.

Fifty Dollars linear d. t$ ANAVVAY from the subscriber living now at Columbus, in Mississippi, a negro man named J 0 , and was taken up sometime in June last, in Pope county, Illinois, and broke jail, and made his escape from there on the 20th of July. He lias a scar from a stab just above one of his hip bones. He is about 27 or 30 years old, five feet six or eight inches high ; black, lias rather a down look when spoken to, his eyes have rather a red cast, spare built, but neatly formed and no particular marks other than as above described. Befoie leaving the jail, he told another negro that he would not tell his right name, nor acknowledge the name of hia mastei again, as it was from his having done so, in this instance, that he came to be taken up, and news of it sent to me.
