THE Commillioners rode with those of the United States, Meflirs. Hawkins ar.d Pickens, to tlic Indian encampment. At the Cowetas camp, John Galphin being present, Mr. Jack son called him-to Gen. Pickens’s lace, and de manded cf him, if he was pofuive of the infor mation he had given him in his letters, and at the table of the Com mi Hi oners oi Georgia : That Mr. Seagrove had given talks to tiie Chiefs, and in the Nation, againlt felling the lands, and that General Jackfori was come then to jfpoil their talks, and take the land from them ;to which, in Gen. Pickens’s pre tence, Galphin declared it to be the truth, and ottered to bring proof of it to him, which the General (Pickens) avoided by riding off. Saturday, June 18. Th- hoard called on the Commiflionrrs ot th? United Stales, and having been informed through the Chisrman, that they were deter mined toftop us in any part of our talk they did not like ; we thought it prudent to read it to them, as less injurious to receiv” their ob "eftions in private, than to be lessened in the eyes of the Indians, by being flopped in pub lic. MeffVs. Hawkins and Clymer made fevcral dbje&ions about the State Treaties with the In dians, at Augusta, Galphinton and Shoulder bone ; infill'd on the Treaty of New-York s’.on” being valid, and Mr. Hawkins read the Treaty of New-York, r*la f ive to Negroes in the Nation, which he Hid and the other Cos m iaiflioners acccd“d to, did not extend to all Negroes there ; hut only to such as w-*re ta ken off prisoners of war, by force of arms. “We combated these points and ultimately were told we might deliver the talk, as it did not binder them, from making their own excep tions to it. The hoard accordingly attended the Cotn- Tr.iflioners of the United States to the Iqnare, and delivered the talk entered and agreed on. Duringthedeliverrrig,fome circumltances rather lingular were observed. A number of females were brought to the square where th? Com missioners fat, which, the State Commilfioners were afterwards informed, by foinc well ac quainted with Indian affairs and customs, is always held in contempt in Indian Councils, and the Talks given not much regard’ and where they are present. Mrs. Clymer, the United States Commissioner’s lady and Mrs. Seagrove, the lady >f the Superintendent were among them. Whether they were broug’ntfor the pur pof” of injuiring the talk or not, the State Com missioners cannot aflert ; but it is certain, that not one of them w-r” pref-ut, when the Pre sident’s invitation was declared the day before, and they were n*v?r seen in the fqu ne by ei ther of us afterwards—lt was alio observed, that the Indians at firft gave th* grunt of appro bation, towhat was deliver ‘d by the Commif* I’.oners of Georgia ; but a runner was soon f*nt round to filencs theip. Hy whom this runner was sent, and to answer what purpose it was done, is also a mystery. I CERTIFY, that the two foregoing F.\-- trafls of the 14th, and ißch of June, are true copies from th” original journals of the Com missioners appointed by the State of Georgia, to treat with the Creek Indians, now in my Jolfeflion.

Extract of a letter from Capt. sanes , of the Brig Commerce, from Leghorn, da ted on board in Baltimore roads , to his friend tn New-York. “ I have the pieafure to inform you of my fate arrival at Baltimore, after a paflageofio weeks. I left Leghorn 7th J une, aqdon the fame day was boar ded by the Tartar frigate, an Englilh (hip ; after receiving 4 or 5 idiots from her, I was ordered on board, where the v detained me for fix hours, and treated me with fccond hand civility only ; then was permitted to proceed on my voyage. On the 12th of June, fell in with Admiral Jarvis’s lleet, which was cruifmg off Toulon. On the 14th June, was chafed by an Algerine, which came within hail ot’ me ; it coming up very foggy thick weather ot a sudden, so that 1 could not fee the length ot my lhip. I altered my course a little, and by that means before the log left me, I was clear of her : but on the 18th of J une I was tired at by an Algerine Xebec, which rowed with 30 sweeps, manned with one hun dred and odd men, mounting 3 fix poun ders ; and being becalmed, they run along tide of me, obliged me to hoist out my boat and go on board them, where they detained me for two hours, treated me very complalfantly, but took from me about one hogffiead of water, and let me go. On the 25th June, off Malaga, fell in with two large Englilh lhips, bound to Gibraltar, that palled me with out alking me whom I was, &c. And on the 30th j une, off G ibraltar, an Eng liffit frigate ran a long fide of me, exam ined to know who I was, from whence I came, and whither I was going, <Lvc. After which, I saw no cruiiing \ elicit, until I arrived off Cape Henry, where I was boarded, after receiving a (hot, by the La Prevoyante, where they ex amined me, iny papers, men, See. pretty closely, but treated me with politeneG, and permitted me to proceed immediate ly on my course. “ Now, Sir, after giving you this (hort hiltory of my paliage, I will teil you the circulating news of Leghorn when I left there—which is as follows : u June 6.—The following agreeable intelligence of the lucceffcs of the French army in Italy, under the command of general Buonaparte, has jud been receiv ed from Florence. On 26th May, gen. Buonaparte attacked the German army, near Mantua, confining of about 14,000 men, commanded by gen. Beaulieu. The attack was made in three directions —the republicans bearing every thing before therq, and obliging the Germans to retreat in the greatelt confufion : and as gen. Kellcrman, who was coming with a reinforcement of 30,000 men, to the army of Italy, knew the intention of his brother in arfns, Buonaparte, it is generally supposed he will cut off the retreat of the Germans ; at all events the inveftmcrit of Mantua follows— Mantua has a garrison off 7000 men, with plenty of ammunition, but very scarce of provisions. I have a number of Itaiiau papers, the latelt of which give die particular account of the c.i nauement and other fuccefies of the Re- G publicans, &c. “ The Pope of P.ome has made peace with the French, agreeing to pay them 4,c00, c001, fieriing,” From Columbian Centinel. Os Captain Bigot and Captain Jfjffup. Mr. Russell, Having read with incxpreffible indig nation, the (hameful treatment of an American citizen, by a Captain Pigot, of the Britiffi frigate Success, I (hould wiih to be informed, through the chan nel of your paper, who this Captain Pigot is ; for it is sometimes doing so ciety almofl: as much service to trace the particulars of a scoundrel, as it is that of a man of worth and honor. The gradations to baseness, as well as to honor, ought be known, and mankind rnay be benefitted by a recital of the deeds of a Nero, a Kobefpicre, and the pirate Blackbeard, almofl as much as by that of a Titus, a Howard, 01 a Russell. The gibbet has its good effect as well as the ltatue. Every man does not feel alike—for my part, nothing since the Jerfcy prifonffiip has my indig nation like the infamous deed of Capt. Pigot’s. Had he (hot Capt. Jeffup, or even {lifted him in the hold of his lhip, it would not to my feelings been equal inattrocity.to seizing an American citi zen, ordering him to be itripped and whipped like a thief. Had I been the lufferer, and could have survived the indignity, no didance, court or danger, ihouid deter me from in {lifting the fame punishment of tl e cat o’nine tails on this dastardly who is a scandal to the Britiffi navy^and a disgrace to his com mission. Ye clafiical iren can belt tell in what fervid.,drains of indignation the mod eloquent of orators roused the vin dicative judjee of his countrymen a gainst a Viceroy who cauied a Roman citizen to be publicly whipped—and ffiall a paltry captain of a frigate do a limilar deed, and high spirited, indepen dent American, submit to it with the dastardly feelings ot a negro to his over leer ? There is no country where the mas ters ot veflcls are from so refpeftablc a class of people, as ours, and there are few or us but what have brothers or near connections who may tail in the hands ot your Pigots, if this scandalous aft (hould pass over in silence. I know as little ot Mr. Pigot as I do of Mr. Jeflup. I know not to what town, or even to what Stare the latter belongs. I view the matter perfectly unbiafled as it regards the two men. I confider William Jefiup as a deeply injured A mericau citizens who ought to be re dressed fome where, and I confider Capt. Pigot as a guilty tyrant who ought t be puniffied fome where. Were ail tl e American lliip mailers of my mind, the. would make the fufferings of Captain Jefiup a joint of concern, and add refs the supreme executive on the fubjeft, as a matter (ar, very lar, beyond rhat of .property, and with many men be> o and that of life itfelf. i have, Mr. Ruffe!l, a friendihip for the Britdh nation, and a refpeft for their navy, which to my certain know ledge, contains gentlemen of the'drifted honor and humanity. Nor am I o:.c of tliofc who believe half what is print ed in the Chronicle or Aurora, refpec ting Britiffi insolence, and imp'elTment of American citizens, for 1 know it is one ot the diffionorable tools with which the Jacobins labor in their glorious work of vilification, dilorganization, confufion j and final bloodffied.—We fiiould separate these lies and exaggera tions from the case before us, a cale well authenticated and which inlpires but one sentiment, and which were it a gen eral praftice in the Briiiffi navy, as it is a rare and solitary inflance, 1 would once more hake life and fortune to re pel a tyranny more degrading than that of Tunis or Algiers. % O I therefore hope that fome of your corrcfpondents will give fome account of this Captain Pigot, commander of the Britiffi frigate Success. It is proba ble he will be found fome daring fellow who has been promoted merely for his severity ; or clle fome drunken, cow ardly sea-monster, who owes his llatior. to pow erful connections, who were able to purchase with money a commilfion which he could not obtain by his merit.
