"I have not till the prefent had an opportunity to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's favour of the 13th Nov. which was delivered me on the road to Tuckabafchee, and I cannot reply to the whole as I could wish. The documents herewith enclosed will exhibit to you fome interefting proeeedings in this quarter, and are an apology for the omiffion. [Thefe documents have been published, fome time fince.]

"The National Council was convened at Tuckabafchee on the 24th Nov-the meeting has been a very interefting one. I had much converfation with the Chiefs, and felt that as an Agent I poffeffed their confidence in a high degree. The Chiefs have agreed that all mischief makers and thieves of any country of white people,

"Mr. Bowles is near the mouth of this river, from whence he continues to pour forth his threats against the officers of the United States in this department, and I continue my arrange ments to punih all thieves and mit chief makers. We have punished, in an exemplary manner, the leader of the banditti, who infulted the Commiffioners of Spain and the United States on the 17th of September. He was cropped, whipped, and his property deftroyed, and three of his affociates whipped. We have had one white man whipped for negro stealing, and one negro fhot through the arm and in the thigh, for refifting those who were fent to apprehend him, and attempting to fire on a white man.

"I find it an arduous undertaking, with fo few afliftants, to make the impreffion I wish on the minds of my red charge, who are scattered over a wild country of at least three hundred miles fquare Bowles, and other mischief makers, are by every opportunity poi foning the minds of the Indians with their abominable lies and mifreprefent

ations. In the prefent conjuncture, I receive and reciprocate with peculiar pleasure, the affurance of future co-operations on the part of your Excellency, to promote harmony and to preferve peace. The period may be eventually a very interesting one for your frontiers."

A letter dated late in Nov. from a gentleman of information in France, to his friend here, mentions, as the general belief in the beft informed circles, that peace between all the belligerent powers, except France and England, will take place before fpring-and that an accommodation between this country and France appears to be unquestionable.
