Prom the .Vashville Rtfiubhcan THE INDIANS. Information from Franklin, which may be relied on, gives assurance that there is cvcry prospect of the conclusion of a treaty with the Chickasaw nation, a delegation from which has been at Franklin since the 20th ult. On Friday evening last the president left them, having confided the negotiation and arrangement of the treaty to the secretary of war and general Coffee. The president, we understand, will depart for Washington this week. Before leaving Franklin, he was informed through the agent, that his Chickasaw friends desired to see and bid him farewell before his departure. In half an hour after, he met them at the Masonic hall, where being surrounded by the chiefs, a most interesting view took place amidst a crowd of persons who were j) resent to witness it. The president with the secretary of war and general Coffee having arrived, took their position within the centre of a square occupied by the chiefs. Having shaken hands with him, one of them handed a paper to major Eaton, which they requested him to read to their great father it was as iollows: FRANKLIN, (TEVN.) AUGUST 27, IS JO. To our Great Pat her the Preside?!': Your red children, the chiefs and the head men of the Chickasaw?, have had under consideration the talk of our father, and also the talk delivered to us by the commissioners, major Eaton and general Coffee. The subject submitted for our consideration is to us of great importance. On the

Oecision we this day make and declare to you and the world, depends cur fate as a

nation and as a people.

Father, you say that you have travelled a inne- wav to talk to voar red children. We

have listened and your words have suns, deep into our hearts. As you are about to set out for Washington city before we take our father's hand perhaps with many of us for the last time e have requested this meeting, to tell you, that after sleeping upon the talk you sent us, and the talk delivered to us by our brothers, major Eaton and gen. Coffee, we are now ready to enter into a treaty based upon the principles communicated to us by major Eaton and gen. Ccli . e. Your friends and brother?, (Signed, l?c.) The president nromntlv replied hrtohl

them ot the great pleasure and satndactr n he had enjoyed in seeing thaun. Some i t them had been long known to him, audi ? assured them that their long-continued friendship had not been, and would not be, interrupted. He was about, he said, to separate from them to return to Ids public duties at Washington, and might meet them no more; but his earnest hope was, that the Great Spirit above would take care of, bless, and preserve them. He then rose and bade them an affectionate farewell. One of the principal chiefs rushed forward, and grasping him with both hands, exclai med, "God bless you, my great father," and overcome by his feelings turned away. The president and chiefs were much affected, and the whole house manifested a sensible emotion at the interesting interview, and so paration of this distinguished man from our red brothers. It was indeed a scene of tin-

war, fought with him in defence of cur country. By a communication from your elder brethcrcn and neighbors, the Choctaws, during the Inst winter, your great father learned that in consequence of the laws of Mississippi being extended e-cr them, thev were

in great alarm; and of their own free will, a no without any application trom him, they asked to leae their country anil retire acrossthe Mississippi ri er. The treaty sent by them t him, was laid before the senate of the Uniteu States, and they refused to approve it Su.,,cit('u to avoid every act the tendency of w'i.'ch miirht be to deceive or impose upon his ic; children, he laid the treaty, which was presented to him, before the senate, with the protect which hud been forwarded against it bv tie opposite part

of the Choctaw nation, that all 'he circumstances might be fully known it w , rejected. Of these things, their confidential agent, major Haly, was advised, and was requested to make them known to the Choc taws. Understanding from him that the were desirous to see and converse w'uh th .ir great father, en this important subject, he

agreed, in accordance with that desire, to meet them at this place. ith regret lie now learns they have declined tluir engage ment. By an act of congress it was placed in his power to extend justice to the Indians to pay the expenses of tlu ir removal to support them for twelve months, and to give them a grant for lands which should endu'e "as long as the grass grows or wu-r runs " A determination was taken imu.ediatoh. to advice his red ehildren of the means which were thus placed at his disposal to render them happy and preserve them as a nation. It was for this, that he asked his Chickastjw and other friends to meet him here. You hae come, and your great father rejoices to tell you through his commissioners, the truth, and point cu to a course which cannot tail to make you a happy and prosperous people. Hear and deliberate well on what he shall say, ami under the ex ercise of your own reason and matin ed judgement, determine what may appear to you best to be done for the benefit of yourselves and your children. Brothers You have long dwelt upon the soil you cccupi, and in early times before the white man kindled his fires oo rear to yours and bv sv tiling around, narrowed down the limits of the chase, you we! e, though uninstructed, yet a happy penple, Now your white brothers are around you.
