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. 5 GO. WASHINGTON. Philadelphia June 14th 1794. gal aiay bo said to break tho last Ir. of English connexion with that unhap! py country. Not an English ship war remains, either in the Tagus the Douro, for the protection of glish subjects and their property, at most critical period, when great nun. bers of them, by the construction p’^ on the most trivial events, are in dan. ger of being politically compromi S{ a with Miguel’s government. | 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* mouth, (Eng.) ofg WASHINGTON AND THE CHER- KEES.

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.
