It is also said, that they have appointed
Mr. George Galphin to carry the Talk up to
the Creek nation, preparatory to the treaty.
The many signal ftrvices of the father of Mr.
Galphin to this state, and the universal friend
fliip that is held for his memory by the Creeks,
together with bis own good charafter, it is
said and hoped, will render him a very ac
ceptable mefienger. '
In Wells’s Bahama Gazette of the 28th of
February last, the charge of Chief Justice De
laney, and the Preferments of the Grand Ju
ry, are publifl-.ed. The 9th article of the
latter is as follows:
“ We prelent as a grievance of a mod
'alarming nature, tb*t, contrary to'the laws
of nations, and the faith of treaties, a cou
fiderable armed force, in tlie time of profound
peace, has been permitted to depart from this
Itland, iu feveial vefleis, for the purpose of
plundering the Spanith province of East-Flo

dangering the loss of our Turtle Fithery,
provoking rcprifals ou the inrfocent inhabi

It is said that fuflkient proof of the fafls of
armed parties being feut from New-Provi
dence among the Creek Indians, while mak
ing war again!! this state, and of the Spa
niards enticeing and detaining of fiaves, has
been obtaiued.by Government’, and that the
fame is to be laid before the Federal Go
vernment,, for. national inqui fy.
Charleftbn Papers as late as the 20th of

L O N DO N, February 24.
- Every doubt of his Majs tty's recovery be
ing happily removed,,the grand quettioti is,
whether relaxation frompubi bufincf* be or
not indifpenfibly uecefTury. On this impor
tant question, several meetings of the Cabi
net Miuifters,. the Pioyal Princes, and the at
tending Phyfieians, have taken place within
these few days; aud though the dccifion has
not as yet been publicly announced, we can,
with confidence derived from the mod re
fyctfable authority, allure our readers that a
Regency is determined upon. But it w ill be
a Regency appointed by the Sovereign, who
will, to the eutire fatisfadiou of, all fcnfible
and grateful circles of the community, .make
no change in his Miuifters..
It is said that a mett'age will be lent to Par
liament from bis Majesty this day, to require
that a Regency may be formed to exit! for
fix months, that he may be for that time
wholly abftraded from public conterus. This
Regency is to be vetted in a Council, of which
the Prince of Wales is to be the head, and
such is the temper of the Prince, that what-*
ever is for the advantage of the state, gains
his ready concurrence.

His Majesty’s health now being perfectly
restored, we have only to mention, ,that hap
pittefs to the nation, aud-joy and peace-to all
the Royal relatives, are rettored also-—The
Loufchold too is restored to its former ar
rangements; aud thofc moilical-attendants,
who were so material to his Majesty's reco
very, arc now seen no more.
The interview between his Majesty and the
Prince of Wales, on Monday, was highly in
teresting. His Majesty treated the Prince with
every mark of afFediou, aud the Pxince tefti
/ied the strongest pleasure on the approaching
afped of his Royal Father’s happy recovery.
With relpefl to his Majesty’s intention ** of
taking no part in the affairs of the state, for
at lead fix months j” is an alfertion totally
void of truth. His Msjefty was ever too at

ticipate with the warmest transports of heart

We have accounts from Geneva, by the
way of Paris, Ihat the famous aristocracy,
iuftituted for some years, is eutirely put an

they used to oppose the troops, were the fire
engines of the city, from which they played
upon the ioldier&with boiling oil mixed with
falpetre and vitriol, by which out of ppo
men only 400 escaped. The citizens do mi
litary duty, and the aristocratic party hive
sent couriers to Versailles, Turin and Berne,

PITTSBURGH, AW. 29.
Extralt of a letter Jrom Halifax , AW«-sre
//«, to an inhabitant of this town, dated
Oetober aa, 1788*.
“ 1 am now to acknowledge the receipt of
yours of the 6ih of May last, aud you may
j be allured I made every enquiry concerning
the unfortunate gentiemeu you mentioned,
viz. Mr. Purviance of Baltimore town, and
Mr. Ridout, whom I formerly knew in Ma
ryland. The latter had the good fortune to
get l'afe 16 Detroit about the beginning of
June lafl, and I left him at Montreal in July.
The best accounts I could receive of Mr.
Purviance, were, that he was beat to death
by the squaws for their entertainment: it
was a tragical close of the life of a gentle*
man, wherhad beeu a refpeftable merchant
for upwards of thirty years. "But ltill more
tragical was the end of poor young Mr.
Mitchell, of Virginia, who, together with
his father, was taken faft May ; it'is too te
dious aj§d painful to relate, fufEce it to far,
it was more barbarous than the inanuer in
which Colonel Crawford was tortured. Thcfe
things had such an effect upon my spirits, that
l t believe it would have been impofiible for
me to be a good Biitifh l'nbjeft at Detroit,
whne such things continue to be pratirfed in
the ludith couuiry. I laboured to find out it
no poilible plan could be adopted to put by
Ucgiets a Hop ;o the ravages and depredations
of v* s ‘C lavages, confident with the honor and
- iaicicrt of the weiletu country generally*, nor
at the fame time inconfiflent with the digrtity
or iuteieil of the United States, and think I
have hit upon the expedient. It is not as yet
. public, as thereby I might incur the refetit
luent of both patties for the freedom.l hive
taken in treating of the Btitilh
with the Indians, and likewise the arrogv.tc
of the United States in claiming the right to
the Indian country under the treaty of peace
in 17SG Bur you may be allured humanity
dictated the lent iin cuts to me, fttch as they
arc, and the real and efientiai interest of the
welleni country r, which Ido firmly believe in
time, and that time not very dirtant, will be
one of the firft countries in tire world. VViU
you be kind enough to let meknow your ideas
upon the fubjett, as I know your fentimentx
are liberal in politics as well as religion ?”
