The pack:t No. 1, contains a copy of the ir.ftru inent so confirmed, which points out the limits of the territory ceded. • T.fC treaty making department of ti e nation make* no difference, in the confirmation of treaties, whe>her they be with a civilized and enlightened people, or the rude fava&e of the wi'derncls—they pate through the refpt&lve branches of that department, and un dergo all the other treaties, The firft treatv held under the general government with the Creek Indians was that of New.York, where the treaty. 1 making power adopted the precedent ref peeking tiir of Indian treaties. That treaty is wcV known to us all—it dismembered the itare of that part of her domain called Talaffe county, and rsob until the treaty of Fort VVilkitifbn, under a change of national administration, did we get restored to us a ,final 1 portion of that county, of which we have been deprived But we need not doubt that there ex ills fi. disposition on the part of the general govnnment to heal by every means in its power, the wound made on the jurif iidH on of State right.

If head-rights fiiould be permitted to be taken out in manner they now are, it will be seen in a short time, that every man in the country, whole habits, mode of life, uuf want of indoftrv forbids his fettling in a wilder ntfs, will fell to whoever will buy and oe at the ex .rt nee required to obtain a grant.

The danger of insurgent negroes landing ,on our coasts, were not groundless—the corporation ot Savannah, communi cated the information to my predeceflor. and the major-general of that Division, and upon that infor mation, Iteps were immediately taken for preventing it ; the exigences of which, are an undoubted charge upon Ihe 1 reafury The corporation were seriously unprtiled with the danger, as vou will perceive bv he packet number 5, which aifo shews, that our fitter rate, South Carolina, was equally vigilant.
