Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated
St. Vincennes, September 17, 1802.
“ 1 have now to communicate the pleas
ing result of our council with the Indians,
Every objeft for which it was holde-.i, so
far as it relates to us, is completely ob
tained. They lilfened with attention and
apparent pleafure,' to the plans proposed
for their advancement in civilization.
They all promised their finned support in
carrying the measures of the president into
effect. To governor Harrilon’s perseve
rance and unremitted attention, its fucceff
ful iflue is judly to be aferibed.
“The Indians have relinquidied to the
United States a beautiful, fertile country,
twenty-four leagues fquare-.-Ic extends
north and fouth, from Point Coupee to the
mouth of White river, and from a line
drawn parallel to the general course of
the Wabalh, twelve miles to the Wert of
this town, across towards the Ohio-- It
is expefted it will extend to, or near the
Illinois grant. They have also granted
the privilege of working the great fait
spring, on the Saline river, near the Ohio,
with four mile square of land, including
the spring, which will afford a plentiful
supply of fuel for the fait works that will
there be erected—lt is unquellionably the
best fait spring that is potleflcd by the we
ftern country. Arrangements will (hort
ly be made by government for the dispo
sal of this trad of country; and we may
justly felicitate ourselves with the plealing
hope, that at no diftanl period, our wil
dernefies that are now traversed only by
savages and wild beads, will give way to
wealthy populous settlements."
CHARLESTON, Nov, 11.
The spring tides, for two days part
have been higher in our harbour than they
have been for many years. That of ye
sterday morning in particular, was at least
one foot higher than any former one re
membered ; in consequence, the tide wa
ter entered cellars on Ealt-Bay, which
were always -considered as lase for dorage
of all kinds of goods. We underdand,
that confuierable quantities of sugar, to
bacco, See. have been injured by this un
common circumdance.
