Himbly himself had ben left by Nich As i tha aent between the 1 1 d i an arid the British government; but havin?. found (hat Nichols lud fatted in bis attempt to prevail upon the British govi-rnrrxnt to pursue this clandestine war in the midst of peace, &, that they Were not prepared to suiput his pretence, that half a dz i. outlawed fugitives from theCneks were the Cieek nation; when Arbuthnott, the hcendiary, came, and was instigating them b; promises of support from Great Britain, to rommrncc their murderous ncur fiions in the United States, S Iambi), at the request of the chief of the Creaks thems Ivea, wrote to him, 47,0 warning him to withdraw from among that band j f "Utlaws, and civi g him a ilcmi ftircb dim; o V e d o that awaited him from the nand of justice, if he persevered in the coune that he pursued Arbuthnott ne veitheless persis

the intended business of M'Gregor and
Woodbire at lamputfiy? It was I he conquest of Florida from Spain, by the use of those ve ry Indians and negroes whom the commandant of St, Marks was so ready to aid support in war against the United States. The chain of proof that establishes this fact, is con tamed in the documents communicated by the president to Congress, at their last session, relating to the occupation of Amelia Island and hv M'Gteiror.
From these documents you will find 'war left us by Nichols, as his Jegaty, re
