Gopy of a letter from Brigadier-General Clarke to bis H r nor the Governor , dated Wafloingion, Mao zj, 1789, io o'Clock at night. 8 I R, YESTERDAY evening, four o’clock, I re ceived information from the Creeks, brought by five headmen of the Cherokees, who had attended at the Creek nation to fettle a difpntc between the two nations. The express came upwards of two hundred miles in three days from the Cherokee.*, informing that three hundred Creeks set oil from their towns the 2 2i\ indent ; and that a runner was sent to -tlft Cmvttas for iwriiliiT hundred to join them, ! wai informed that their iuftmttioni arc, to fail on the frontiers of Georgia, and com mence honilmes near the Cherokee Corner, t e 28th laftanr. I sent express to alarm the different parts, and in the mean time ordered that a part of the militia Ihould march to their relief. Ihe express returned at four o’clock this afternoon, wuh accounts that a fort was attacked near that place this morning by thir ty Indians, and a confiderabie number more difeovered in different places. O ne man was killed at the fort. The militia firft: raised will be on the ground this evening.'; I am coi e mg a reinforcement, and am in hopes to be there myfelf to-morrow with five hundred men. Thele Cherokees farther fay, that they under flood that five hundred Creeks were or dered to the lower parts of Georgia; and that they saw the three hundred firft mentioned draw their ammunition and march, with or ders from M'Gilliviay to breax up the new counties at all events by burning houl'es; and in case of refinance, to kill and take their property. .. From these, and other co operating circumfiances, I have every reason to believe they aie determined on hostilities. VVe are entirely out of ammunition, and hope a iupply will be foi warded asfoon as possible. 1 lliall call on the Coutratfor for fupphes, and hope it will meet with approbation.
