NEW ECHOTA;
tVKDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1828,
ARKANSAS CHEROKEES.
Wc are requested to insert the extract
of a letter from Capt. John Rodgers, dated
July 31, 1828.
Maj. Ew. Duval,
Dear Sir: “In my last letter
informed you there was to be a Gen
eral Council on the 18th inst. which I
expected to attend but did not, owing
to false information. The council
came on sooner than was stated to me,
& was at the Agency instead of being at
Horse Head as was first represented
to me. The object of the meeting
was to explain to the people of the
nation the transactions of the delega
tion while at Waslington. And from
the best information I can get the peo-
plejat this time sre generally satisfied,
and a number of those that were ve
ry hostiic before they were brought
fully to understand the nature of the
Treaty are now the best satisfied, if
any difference. They are now and
have been ferf some time past engaged
in selecting them places to move to in
the purchase. With regard to the
whites that were settled in the pur
chase they appeared to he well pleas
ed with donations of land, but two
thirds of them have sold their claims
for very trifling.” •
er to the public, bearing t‘h£original signa
ture of that great man. ,
To the Chiefs and Warriors of
the Cherokee Nation of Ind
ians.
My Children—I am glad to see you
and take you by the hand after so long
a journey. I rejoice that you are all
in good health and I bid you heartily
welcome to this City.
I am made acquainted with the talks
you have had with the Secretary of
War, you may depend upon what he
may say to you in my behalf.
My Children—l am very sorry that
since I took some of you and others of
your nation by the hand about two
years ago in this City that distur
bances and hostilities have, happened
between your nation and some of the
white inhabitants upon the frontiers.—
It is unnecessary for me to enter upon
the particulars of those unhappy e-
vents, as we nofar mean to bury, deep
and forever the red hatchet of war.
Let us therefore forget past events,
let us endeavour to find out the means
by wlych the .path between us shall be
kept open and secure from all harm,
you must restrain your bad young
metvfrom stealing of horses and mur
dering our frontier people. Unless
You-have force sufficient for this pur
pose peace will never be established.
The frontier people will not suffer
their property to be stolen, much less
will they suffer their friends 10 bo
murdered without seeking satisfac
tion.
We shall endeavor to keep in order
the white young Men and prevent their
doing you any injury.
Tiie Secretary of War has spoken
to you my mind about the lands upon
Cumberland. These have been con
fined by the two treaties of Hopewell
in 1785 and of Holstein in 1791
More than ten thousand people are
seated on those lands and they, cannot
be removed.
The treaties which have been made
cannot be altered. The boundaries
which have been mentioned must be
marked and established so that n« dis
putes shall happen or any ivhite peo
p!e cross over it.
But in order to convince you that
the United States are desirous that
you and your families should be com
fortablv clothed, your annual allow
anoe of one thousand five hundred dol
lars will be increased to the amount
of five thousand dollars yearly. The
Secretary of War will consult you for
the purpose of furnishing you with the
articles which shall be acceptable to
your nation and you shall take the
mount of one yeai’3 allowance home
wi*h you.
Besides this quantity which will be
for the whole Natiou, l have directed
that you who are present, and your
families should be well clothed and
well treated in all respects.
This liberal allowance independent
of all former considerations will be of
mucher greater value to the whole
nation than could possibly be obtained
by Hunters from off the small spots of
ground upon Cumberland or else
where which any of you may be de
sirous of having returned.
The Secretary of War will endeav
our to find an Agent who shall reside
among you in the heart of your nation
to advise you in all cases and to pro
tect you from all injuries.
Any thing further which you may
have to say you will communicate to
the Secretary of War in whose charge
I leave you being obliged myself to go
to Virginia. He will take care to have
you returned to your nation with the
goods which shall be provided for you.

Russia and Turkey.—They we
waiting with deep anxiety in Englan
to learn the fate of Choumla. Thi
place is looked upon as the last hoi
of the Turkish power, and of coursi
when it falls the fate of Constantino,
pie is thought to be decided. Reporul
had come in from various sources tha||
Choumla was captured, but advicet
from Brussels and Paris, received oJ
the 25th, showed conclusively tint
the Russians had made no important!
advances, on the contrary the Turks]
claimed the advantage in several en.
gagements, and were beginning to ei
tertain some hopes of resistance.
A Russian account says, General
Roth, commanding the 6th corps of
infantry, arrived on the 21st of July
near Sillistria, at the distance of six
wersts (four English miles) from the
fortress. He fell in with 4,000 horse,
who immediately were attacked and
driven back, with the loss of 200 kill,
ed and a great number^ wounded.—
Our troops invested Sillistria on the-
21st; tbe garrison has been increased
to 22,000 exclusive of the armed in.
habitants. Major-General Tyroir,
commanding the troops of the Don,
who was detached on the 25th to
Bazhrad, anuounces that he found in
that town 150 of the enemy, of which
40 were killed and the others were
driven out of the place.
Intelligence from the frontiers of
Bosnia, describes a very extensive
mutiny to have broken out in that dis
trict amongst the native troops, whe
were ordered by the Sultan to observe
the Servians. A Bimbaschi and a
Mollah, who proclaimed the order to
the troops, were killed on the spot,
and the Pacha’s guard were obliged
to retire after a severe engagement
with the rebels. This and sonic oth»
er occurrences of a similar nature,
which are said to have takeu place in
the same neighborhood, afford strong
corroboration to the general opinion
that the Turkish empire ha? not long
to last. The approaching fate
this odious tyranny will: w r e trust af.
ford a lesson to all governments of the]
internal weakness and disunion that
never fail to characterise those which
are not founded in the welfare of the
people.
The French papers announce the
arrival of Mr. Stratford Canning at
Ancona; on the 30th, and state on the]
authority of letters from Moscow, that
the Russian troops, under Gen. Paske*
witscb, had taken tlie fortress of Bag.
dad by storm.
The Russian Rear-Admiral, 8
gun ship, Charapeneise, that parte
from the squadron in the late gale o
Scilly, has not since been heard of,
and fears are entertained lest she
should have foundered at sea. Re
port says tllat this is the case, and
that all hands perished. The other
part of the squadron remains in Ply*

The Duke of Clarence, Lord High
Admiral, haB resigued, and it is not
yet known who will be appointed in
his place. This resignation is said
not to have been occasioned by politi
cal causes.
The report seems to gain ground
that the Ministry are casting about
them to ?ec if something may not be
done fpr Ireland. Mr. Dawson, one
of the Ministry, is said to have expres
sed his decided opinion lately in favor
of the Catholics, and the Mew Times
mentions a report that even Mr. Peel
has lately written a letter to certain
of his constituents, suggesting the ue
cesity of some alteration in the laws
affecting the Roman Catholics.
Portugal.—The news from Fortu
Turkish Literature.—Do those who
are prating about the ignorance of the
Turks know that there are upwards of
twelve hundred public schools support
ed by the government, in the two great
cities of Constantinople and Adrianano-
pie? Do they know that the publie
library in the former city is actually
the best in Europe, comprising all the
standard authors in ancient and mod
ern literature; that the Edinburg,
Quarterly, and North American Re
views, with the periodicals and lead*
ing newspapers of the day, are regu
larly received there, and eagerly per-
sued? Do they know that the pres
ent Sultan is a most accomplished
scholar? that he speaks and writes
French with the ease and accuracy of
a Parisian? Do they know that the
Statesmen and Professors amongst
the Turks are intimateTy versed m
languages, and the arts and sciences?'
If not, we can refer them to a gentle*
man who passed several years at Con
stantinople, and who can enlighten
them on the subject.-JV*. Y. M. Cour.
