Oar readers will be able to Judge
when they read in this day’s paper,
the late talk of the areh villain Wood
bine to the Creek Indians, which has
been the eause of the late murders i
committed on our unoffending citizens
of the frontier, by the. looter Greeks.
The talk alluded to, was banded us
for publication by a gentleman of ve
racity from Fort Jackson, who was
called on by the'big warrior to consult
and return an answer. He informs
us, that every Word and deed of the
big warrior, on the occasion, has been
that of a patriot and a true friend to
the United States, ft is not our wish
to implicate the British government
in this business, hut we would onl}
remark that it wou|d>be well to watch
more narrowly the conduct of some oJ
their agents, or rather that they se
lect men for such important stations'
of more honesty and truth thau col.
Woodbine. [ Halcyon .
Copy of a talk sent from the British
agent in East Florida, to the Big
Warrior, head Chief of Creek na
tion of Indians.
When the English made peace with
the Americans, they included the whole
of the Indian nations, viz. Creek,
Choctaw, Chickasaw and Cherokee;
those nations were guaranteed in the
quiet possession of their lauds, and
the Americans engaged to give up
su*‘h lands of the Indians as they had
taken possession of during the war.
liUliey have not done so, or if they
have been making further encroach
ments, the Chicis have only to repre
sent ibeir complaints and the aggres
sions of the Americans, to the govern
-1 or of New Providence, who will for-,
i ward them to England, or get them
j conveyed to the British minister at
j Washington, who has orders from
! the king of England to see that the
{ rights of the nations above mentioned
are protected and the stipulations
contained in the treaty, in their favor*
are faithfully carried into execution:
The Americans have no wish to logo
to war with Great Britain; they will
tiot, therefore, do any thing contrary
to the treaty, and what encroachments
; have been made, must be without the
i knowledge of the chief of (he Ameri
i can government: and so soon as he is
1 informed thereof by (he British min
ister at Washington, he will order the
American people who have taken pos
• session of Indian lands, to draw back
to their o\vn possessions.
I The Indian nations are all one-great
family; they possess lands their great
i forefathers handed down to them, and
they ought to hand them down entire
to their children. If they sell their
land, what do they rc< eive for it? No
thing that will last—-it is wasted away
in a few years. Whether, therefore
they sell or give it away, they are
robbing their children of the inheri
tance they had a rigl *to expect. As
a great family, they ought to live as
such with each other: let the four na
tions join in bonds-of brotherly love;
| let them smoke the pipe of peace; let
the cultivation of their lands be their
chief object during tiie spring and
summer, and hunting their diversion
during winter; and tbp produce of
. their labor will be boughtby good peo
ple, who will come and deal with them
i when they know there is any thing to
he purchased for goods op money.
it the Americans, or other nations,
live near them, let (hem live in friend
ship with them, and'keep up a good
I understanding; but on no account sell
or give away any of (heir lands.

manity and of good order.

SAIEM, JUICE 20.
By the brig,Augusta, Lee, which
arrived yesterday from Augustura,
which she left on the 20th May, we
•ave the following interesting intel
ligence:—
That on the 10th of March, lhs roy
alist, strong, under Mora
les, who had proceeded from Augus
' {ura, to attack tile Patriots at a place
called the Missions, 100 miles below
Vugustura, were totally defeated and
cut to pieces; only six men escaped,
Including Morales aud two other of
ficers. All who were not killed on
the field of battle, were afterwards
shot, and among (hem Sheruty, for
merly governor of Augustura.
After the battle, the patriots under
36U. Piai, approached Augustura,
where they threw up a breastwork,
upon which the guns of the fort could
not be brought to bear, and immedi
ately commenced firing upon the (own
within half musket shot, and the fir
ing had been continued day and night.
They had made several attacks upon
the phv-e, but without great loss On
either side. One of the officers had
gone for cannon, more effectually to
attack the Works.
The patriots had completely sur
rounded the place, and the inhabit
ants and garrison were reduced to
(he most wretched and pitaMe condi
tion, for want of provisions. Great
numbers had actually died of starva
tion. Horses, mules, jackasses, dogs,
&c. bad been consumed and the gov
ernor himself had actually paid three
dollars for a Cat!
A great number of the inhabitants
hand left Augustura, and 1500, prin
cipally women and children in the
most deplorable condition, sailed the
same day (he Augusta, in Spanish
vessels. The mem were not allowed
| to depart. Our informant thinks it
I impossible that the place could haye
held out more than two or three days
‘, after he left It, unless relieved in
, * some unexpected manner.
Guafyanna was still in possession of
| the Royalists—it was strongly fortifi
, ed, and no probability of its being ta
,: ken except by starvation,
j Fitzgerald, the governor of Augus
’l turn, who had been arrested and sent
to Carraccas, on suspicion of trcache
| ry, had been ordered back, and was
' still in command of the place. The
| most sanguinary measures were a-
I dopted at Augustura in regard to sus
| peoted persons. Eight men were
shot at one time, about the Ist. of
May, on suspicion of being friendly
to the revolutionary cause.
| The forces of the patriots were es
timated at from foiir to six thousand
. men, all mounted; and they had com
plete possession of the surrounding
country.
The Tiger of this port, was the on
ly vessel at Augustura; she carried
out a small quantity of provisions,
which were immediately taken pos
session of by the government.
Insurrection at Barcelona.
' ‘ ' -it
On the 2d instant, we published an
article (translated from a Paris pa
per of April v3d,) announcing that a
serious insurrection had recently oc
curred in Barcelona and its vicitfity.
This intelligence is confirmed by the
arrival this morningof the brig Nymph
Capt. Williams, in 37 days from Gib
raltar. The insurrection, capt. "W.
states, commenced about the 10th or
12th of April, when the populate,
greatly dissatisfied with the govern
ment, and particularly disaffected to
wards the Friars, rose in a body, seiz
ed the Friars, aud cut and mangled
them in a horrid and brutal manner.
Gen. Lacy, who held a military com
mand at Barcelona, In his efforts to
suppress (he insurrection, was killed
aud other officers severely wounded.
Such is the first account of the
transaction, as it reached Gibraltar.
No additional or more detailed infor
mation on the subject bad beeo re
ceived when capt. Williams left that
port.

Yesterday the Anniversary of OUP
National Freedom, was celebrated
with the ostial demonstrations of i o v

auspicious morn was ushered in with
a national* salute, and in the glovri n »
